Twitch Channel IRC Hookup to VVVV

vvvv beta question
1

Hey, ( IRC Repost )

i was wondering how to use the IRC node to connect to a twitch chat ( should be fun )

main problem is the password
“/connect server.de join #bla password”

/nick yourtwitchusername
/server irc.twitch.tv 6667 oauth:TwitchOauthtoken

would work on mIRC i guess
only other solution i found would be :

Its an IRC to OSC bridge but not sure if this processing sketch would work with password protected servers/channels.

The other solutions would be some mIRC plugin or script which sends Highlightes messanges via udp/tcp

Cant get The processing Sketch to Work, i will try this openbroadcasting chat plugin. Has an API: http://rutony-studio.com/en/rutonychat/api/ 10€ seems fair.

Any other ideas?

hei gegenlicht,

i’ve added Password and Channel Password to the IRC (Network Open). i think the first one is what you want to try. hope that helps… see latests alpha.

can you explain where you put what info into the IRC node?

Hey, oauth is for password not channel password.

:) thx for reminding me of a fun project :D

( sorry did not see the request earlier )

Thanks @gegenlicht!

My password field was restricting input to 9 character for some reason, so I never tried forcing the Oauth in there :P

(as you can see I was putting the Oauth in the ‘channel password’ input pin)

Definitely getting a connection now, just no one in chat for me to test how it receives data :D

Do you have any experience with sending messages to the twitch channel? I tried typing a “hello” into the ‘input’ pin and hitting enter, but nothing happened :P

(I’m guessing i just need to read up on the IRC protocols…)

Anyways, thanks again :D

Hey @M3W5 ,
for me just using the Input works. I think it just send the string on change.

Hello
i have an issue with the irc node.

i have troubles conneting my twitch account which has a special character (_) in its nickname.
The Input Pin seems to not allow special characters.

Does anybody know a workaround for this problem?
