Switch - script that checks if stream is live? #250212 05/01/15 09:44 PM
J jimieo
jimieo J	I was browsing on here and found this !uptime script. This had me thinking that if one can check the uptime of a stream that it would be possible to have mIRC simply check if a stream is live, and if so, do something. Right now, I am figuring every 20-30 seconds, the script would check if my stream is live, and if it is run a timer and send a message to the chat if live .timertest 0 23 fancy timer thing here msg $chan timer started Does anything think this can be done? or know how to point me in the right direction?

Sakana S	You need to change the uptime script so it sets the uptime (if present) to a variable (e.g %uptime), and also have it unset %uptime and %target at the beginning. Then I imagine you would need something like this Code: on *:connect:{ timer1 0 30 streamcheck } alias -l streamcheck { uptime if ( %uptime ) && (%target = YourChannelName) { timer1 off timer2 0 30 msg # text goes here } } But you should make it say different lines. Getting spammed with the same timed message is pretty obnoxious :p Last edited by Sakana; 06/01/15 02:56 AM.

jimieo J	I'll check that out in a moment. I agree about the message. The plan is to have it say the message once while the timer runs until the uptime variable is set to 0, when the show ends.

Maybe there's something more optimal, but this works as intended when I tested it. Just replace all instanes of STREAMNAME with your Twitch name

Code:

on *:connect:{ timer1 0 30 StreamCheck } 

alias StreamCheck {
   StreamOn STREAMNAME
  .timer 1 2 Streamcheck2   
}

alias StreamCheck2 {
    if (%uptime) && (%target = STREAMNAME)  {
    timer1 off
    timer2 0 30 msg #STREAMNAME text goes here
}   
    else echo -a StreamCheck error
}

alias StreamOn {
  unset %target
  unset %uptime
  set %target $iif($1,$1,$mid(#,2-)) 
  sockclose StreamOn
  sockopen StreamOn nightdev.com 80
}

on *:sockopen:StreamOn:{
  if ($sockerr) { sockclose $sockname | halt }
  sockwrite -n $sockname GET /hosted/uptime.php?channel= $+ %target HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: www.nightdev.com
  sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf
}

on *:sockread:StreamOn:{
  if ($sockerr) { sockclose $sockname | halt }
  var %data
  sockread %data
  tokenize 32 %data
  if ($1 isnum) && ($2) { set %uptime $1- }
}

jimieo J	Hrmm.. While yes, this does work. I've been encountering issues lately. For starters I use this script to start some timers that I only want to run while I am live. But lately, I've been having issues where it turns them off and back on frequently. The script isn't always able to tell my stream is live. Does anyone know if there is a better method, using twitch's API or something?

jimieo J	Thanks. Looking up how to use the api now EDIT: Code: on :text:!hmm:#:{ if ($nick == jimieo) { var %twitchapi = https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/jimieo set %game $json(%twitchapi,stream,game) } } So, I was trying this to see if I could get it to set the game as a variable (just to see if I could). I failed. Did I just miss something stupidly obvious. My end goal is to be able to detect if my channel shows as live or not. Last edited by jimieo; 18/01/15 09:15 AM.

That is the same client that sends "!hmm" will not trigger it's own on text event 2: Read the scripts documentation: Code: jsonopen -ud twitchapi https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/jimieo set %game $json(twitchapi, stream, game)
