could you add d-bus interface for MPRISv2?

for me I would need it for example for kde-connect to pause the stream when someone calls so I can hear the phone ringing, at least if I have my headset on. Also the Media Controller plasmoid (and alike) will also work with orion. ...+ remember to implement volume management through MPRIS2 interface

MPRIS D-Bus Interface Specification

watching any video streams on MPV doesn't work that well, I can't remember the reason why the buffering wont work (it's a known problem in MPV/ffmpeg), but if you are using MPV with livestreamer then it will work just fine.

the command for it to work with mpv is:
livestreamer -p mpv <url> <quality> --player-continuous-http
example:
livestreamer -p mpv https://www.twitch.tv/angryjoeshow best --player-continuous-http

with orion or mpv in general I can't watch the source quality at all but with livestreamer it does work just fine (in web browser or/and my phone), I have a 150M connection so it should be enough

Please consider using Kirigami for the UI.

have you thought about adding this app to linux-apps.com, there was qt-apps.com but it has been replaced with that.

you only need to add basic stuff, like source file and changelogs...and oc description/pics

why? well this app would get more attention among linux users.

have you thought about making/supporting some of these "sandbox pkg formats" like flatpak or snap..there is also AppImage...but who cares

I would personally go with flatpak because its xdg standard, snap is from Canonical so you will never know what will happen

I think it would be nice for windows (and mac?) user if the orion would check for updates and maybe even install the update (once you accept it), maybe even add mpv version checker to the mix.
maybe using the qt's online installer?

and for Linux users it would just notify for newer version

I'm trying you client on OSX - El Capitan, it works great except for the chat: it doesn't show any message at all.

Let me know if I can provide more details about it.

Thanks!

Feature is on the android app for twitch but sadly rather archaic on the main site. Could it be a niche you could fill?

The regex to capture links will recognize HTTP://www.website.com but it will not recognize HTTPS://www.website.com, making the latter unclickable.

ME Again :D !
Just wondering will the twitch chat of orion show the emotes instead of texts in the future versions?
It will be great if this feature is adding or planning to add to the app.
Thank you for putting so many efforts to it and listening to the users' suggestions.

Maximize window -> enter fullscreen -> exit fullscreen -> window is resized and moved to the size/location it was at before hitting maximize button.
Expected behavior would be to still have a maximized window upon exiting fullscreen mode.

Please add an option to remove this. I do not care to see when my followed streams go offline.

so if I start to scroll anywhere in orion it also affects the audio's volume level, its really annoying when you scroll down and the audio mutes.

also it would be nice if orion's volume level thing would be "global" aka. when I change the volume in kde it shows/affects in orion ...(1am, to tierd to remember the right words...sigh)

This allows a user to quickly respond to someone without needing to type out their name or copy it down.

if the streamer has some problems like the stream crashes and/or the stream has be to restarted, it would be nice if you had the possiblity to restart the video playback manually if it wont automatically reconnect...and without "loosing" the chat (log) by reconnecting/refreshing it also.

Switching between pause/play doesn't work, the apps still thinks the stream is offline (and chat works just fine)

I'm finding that channels sometimes show as offline in the followed channels list even when they are online and show as online in the search view if I search for them by name. This behaviour seems to happen consistently for some channels I follow and not for others.

maybe its "connected" to the recent stream stop / "lag" issues.
But stream video arent smooth anymore, it feel "laggy"

watch the stream on orion & twitch at the same time, the difference is very noticiable :(

No idea what's wrong

So for whatever reason recently I've gotten lots of seg faults. I believe it has to do with the chat but I'm not sure how to resovle the issue. I think it mostly happens with lots of chat spam. so when watching large streams I'll see it crash most often.
(I'm using Qt 5.8, dunno if you've tried it with 5.8 at all yet)

Here is the backtrace from gdb:

^ does that for a couple thousand times.

Hey man! I've been using orion since you made the post on reddit, but the last updates were only for 64 bits computers, do you think you can make a 32 bits version any time soon? Thanks! ^.^

After playing around some more with this, I noticed that not all my followed channels that are live are actually displayed as such in the Favorites tab. 16 of the channels I followed are live, Orion for some reason only shows 10 of them as live. First suspected that it just fails to reload this list, as I had it open for quite a while - the issue occurs after a fresh start as well though.
The channels do appear in the Favorites list, but are showed as offline, when this is clearly not the case. It also appears that these are always the same channels - after several restarts, always the same ones are wrongly displayed as offline. Screenshot for comparison.
Are some channels handled differently by the Twitch API, as it is always specific channels failing to appear online?

this has been irritating me for a long time, but for some reason I always forgot to report it...

anyway, so at least with qt-multimedia backend I will always see the damn cursor on video playback and it's mostly annoying when you are in fullscreen mode, I don't mind if it stays on in the chat area and windowed mode but at least enable autohide for fullscreen.

I'm currently using v1.4.3 (git)

It would be useful to have an option to start Orion with it already minimized to the task tray, so you can start Orion on boot without needing to close the window first.

For example, a user could mouse over to a corner and have a mostly transparent chat box pop out without shrinking the video to make room or obstructing the view of the video.

Been kind of a slog trying to figure out dependencies. I got libmpv installed, but the application is still failing with the following message:

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: @rpath/QtOpenGL.framework/Versions/5/QtOpenGL
  Referenced from: /Volumes/VOLUME/Orion.app/Contents/MacOS/orion
  Reason: image not found

I did an install of qt5, which didn't resolve the issue. What else am I missing :\

so I just installed the Fluendo's gstreamer codec pack and after that orion wouldn't work anymore, other gst based players seem to work just fine.

you have to keep in mind that I use openSUSE leap 42.2. and it uses Qt5.6.1 instead of Qt5.7.

here is the gdb output: link
only thing new was: warning: Cannot parse .gnu_debugdata section; LZMA support was disabled at compile time

I think it seems to be "running" but it just wont show the playback.

the codec pack is 20€/year, if you dont want/cant spend the money I could send a copy (there is prebuild rpm and deb version)

On running Orion, notifications for each followed stream that is currently live are displayed one by one. If you are following a lot of people, it can take like 5 minutes before it stops popping up notifications. Please make it so that Orion does not show notifications for all live streams upon launching Orion.

it would be nice if you could at least watch those video archives of whom you have in your favourites list.

Not really an issue, but I built this on Linux Mint 18 (Ubuntu 16.04). since it's hard to install qt-webengine in Ubuntu (you have to build it from source, and it takes forever) I'll save the trouble someone else might have by just providing my build.

http://pizzadude.ca/builds-linux/orion.tar.xz

If this doesn't belong here, I'm sorry.

Have logged in and authorized yet nothing shows up under any tabs...

No error msgs

Getting this error on Ubuntu 16.04:

me@host:~$ /home/me/Downloads/Orion-1.4.1.AppImage 
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"

Available platform plugins are: xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Aborted

I just installed/switched to the new openSUSE leap 42.2 -kde and it uses Qt5.6.1 (LTS), as orion seems to require 5.7+ (mandatory requirement?) I was wondering how I can get it installed?
also the problem is that I'm no RPM expert I havent been using RPM/opensuse in over 5 years now.

flatpak could be an option, but its not support in leap offically only in the tumbleweed version (rolling version), oc you can always install some unoffical version.

thought I have notice with many proprietary apps (discord, franz, spotify, svp, viber) that using a pre-compiled binary works just fine, maybe that could be an option?

I will reinstall chakraOS on my 2nd SSD when the new ISO arrives, for mainly testing usage.

Why I switched to opensuse leap? well I wanted a solid KDE distro and when I hate ubuntu/deb based distros ...they aren't an option...and fedora isnt for normal desktop usage, at least from gaming perspective, so openSUSE leap is the best middle ground

The top row icons (? / follow / chat) could use some tooltips to indicate what they are for; it's still not even clear to me what the left one does

When loading a new video stream, quality always switches back to source. On the Twitch website, the player uses the previous quality setting if transcodes are available for the current stream. A default quality selection in the settings would mostly serve the same purpose.

Commits 5f0d0a6 onwards break usability on linux.

The Package:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:xenonpk/orion

The builds are successful, and, after installation, I can see the icon in the tray, as well as the notifications (who is streaming, etc...), however, there is no window, and no way to interact with the program.

Using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE 5.9.2 and Qt 5.7.1

I would like to keep my settings when closed and open Orion (Settings and volume).
Also, a background play (Close windows and follow playing the stream) should be great :D

Without any KDE / QT libraries, I installed orion using the COPR package and got an error at startup :

$ orion
QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/main.qml:17 module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed

After installing qt5-qtquickcontrols it started.

A chat action (e.g. the result of a command like /me does a thing) shows up in chat view as the PRIVMSG representation, e.g. username: \u0001ACTION does a thing\u0001 (where \u0001 is the unicode code point 1) instead of the usual Twitch representation for /me, e.g. Username does a thing.

Is it possible there will be twitch chat adding to the application in the future?
I really like this app, adding chat to it will make it perfect!

I really like the fact that the orion gives you notifications for streams but I would really prefer to have them appear on a different monitor. Thanks for reading, I'm enjoying this application.

I don't if this is feasible on VOD's, but it would be nice to see a small preview when you put your mouse on the seek bar, at least there have been times when you need/like to find and start from a specific spot ....there are also other reasons reasons or another why this is nice...

I really don't care if it shows the nearest keyframe instead of exact frame, also you could add the current timerange/timestamp thing under the "preview img"

first I like to remind that I use the qt5-multimedia backend...anyway the problem what I have is with the pause/resume when checking vod's...also it takes a while for the playback to start, maybe adding some "buffering/loading" animation/screen?

PS. the there is only play button no pause, or at least it doesn't switch to the pause one

When I switch to the playback view, chat is always closed, even if I previously had chat open. (The Twitch website remembers the previous setting). I generally want to see chat unless I explicitly close it, but I can understand that many users never want to see chat unless they explicitly open it. I would settle for a checkbox in the settings that makes chat open by default.

sudo pacman -S git gcc qtcreator qt5-svg qt5-webengine qtav

Qt Creator is not needed. qmake will be sufficient.

Hello, since somes days, somes stream randomly "freeze" ( like if it was dropping frame ) and just stop

It's an orion issue, since if i watch at the same time the stream on twitch, there is no issues at all.

The chat window shows all usernames in lower case, rather than in the user's configured capitalization.

FYI the capitalization is in the display-name tag (which may be absent or empty if a user has not changed the capitalization). Tags are returned when the IRC client has enabled capability :twitch.tv/tags. See https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API/blob/master/IRC.md#tags

it would be nice to have the possibility see the same playback stat/info of the playback what twitch provides, at least the same extent...oc the more the better.

I'd like to ask that some video stream doesn't have an option on "video quality" as you'll see on the SS below.

is this normal?
