The code will generate an equivalent video of twitch chat, with Twitch, BTTV, and FFZ emotes included. All it requires is a twitch json file, which can be downloaded with TCD.

TCD: https://github.com/PetterKraabol/Twitch-Chat-Downloader

How to use (only linux machines):

1. Install FFmpeg. I prefer using homebrew. Simply brew install ffmpeg
2. Python interpreter and pip. Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Twitch dev credentials - client-id and client-secret - from here. Make an account, create a dummy app, and grab the credentials. FYI: These credentials allow you to download ANY VOD chat.

python TCVR.py --help for more detailed info

python TCVR.py --client_id {YOUR CLIENT ID} --client_secret {YOUR CLIENT SECRET} --output {OUTPUT DIRECTORY} --video {Twitch VOD ID} --start_time {START TIME OF CHAT} --duration {DURATION OF CHAT}

You only need client_secret and client_id on first run. After that you only need VOD id is the minimum parameter requirement.

To fine tune your video, check out ChatSettings.py

FFmpeg processing time varies by CPU. It takes me about 2 minutes to generate a 5 minute chat file.

Open any issues if you have questions or email me. This is part of a bigger project.

Leave a star if it works for you!
