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?

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

I keep getting “we are connected but not in the channel” and “improperly formatted auth”…

any help greatly appreciated :D

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?
