How to connect to Twitch with IRSSI (SSL)

IRSSI / TWITCH

Here's a method to chat in a twitch #channel with IRSSI

Get your oauth token here: https://twitchapps.com/tmi/

Server block

server = {
    address = "irc.chat.twitch.tv";
    chatnet = "twitch";
    port = "6697";
    password = "oauth:changeme";
    use_ssl = "yes";
    ssl_verify = "yes";
    autoconnect = "no";
}

Chatnet block

chatnets = {
  twitch = {
    type = "IRC";
    nick = "your_twitch_username";
  };
}

I like to /connect twitch and /disconnect twitch as necessary.

Alternatively, just set autoconnect = "yes".

Anyway, now you can /j #twitch_channel_name

Hey you can get the oauth token for your account by simply log in to twitch and and look at your cookies with e.g. F12
The Cookie in question is named auth-token
