Please forgive me regarding where i’ve placed this request, i couldn’t find a better place.
I’m interested in developing a automation that displays the content of twitch chat on a led matrix panel whenever a particular channel is being watched. I want to be able to switch between channels, and have the appropriate chat be shown. Therefore, i need to be able to gather the playback state (specifically, the channel name) from the Twitch app.
I’m currently using a FireTV with the Twitch App. I’ve dug into the FireTV using ADB, and found sufficient information to tell me that twitch is in the foreground, and in a playback mode. But for the life of me, i can’t find anything that says what stream was started (or is running).
I’ve observed a log entry (displayed immediately after selecting a stream to watch) that appears to be where the streamer/channel title is supposed to be conveyed (but isn’t):
08-19 11:07:21.707 1979 1979 I whad : MediaSessionPublisher:publishToRegistrarLocked:Pushing new session: id=TwitchMediaSession_0f0b7dde-90be-436f-8e7b-c180c9d91751, title=, state=PLAYING
08-19 10:49:56.595 1979 2757 I whad : StateStore:storeState:capability=MediaSession deviceId=XX0352 state={“provider”:“Twitch”,“providerId”:“”,“providerLogoURL”:“”,“title”:“”,“creator”:“”,“mediaId”:“”,“playbackState”:{“state”:“PLAYING”,“positionMs”:“0”,“speed”:1},“packageName”:“tv.twitch.android.viewer”}
I would very much appreciate this information being conveyed here, or even in an arbitrary log message OR if there’s a way to get this information already - i’d also be interested in how to gather it.
Thanks for hearing me out!
