twitch-downloader-gui

This is a gui wrapper for the cli version of the great project TwitchDownloader, Linux only. I used the library libui-ng with a few extra patches. The library is still in mid-alpha, but it's a promising project, simple, cross-platform (macos can be done, I just don't care much about it) and very intuitive.

Installation

[!IMPORTANT]

This is a just wrapper for the CLI, you still need the TwitchDownloaderCLI binary. By default the app will try to find the binary from your PATH,

if you don't want to put TwitchDownloaderCLI in your PATH you can specify the binary path from the settings. Make sure that TwitchDownloaderCLI is executable.

Packages available for debian, fedora And AUR.

Dependencies

ffmpeg (required to render chat and vods)
libcurl
TwitchDownloaderCLI (see below)
