Requires livestreamer (obviously), and currently the colorize and launchy gems.
gem install twitchy
I plan on gemifying this soon. Also, a lot of usage is unclear (pagination in
archives, quality options, etc).
I have greatly reduced API requests from earlier versions, but I'm always keeping an eye out for ways to bring the number of those calls down further. There's a way to get all the videos from subscriptions of a user, but it requires authentication and isn't very flexible, for example, so right now I'm making calls for each requested channel.
