README
# Warning
This project is some 2-3 years old (though has been updated to the latest APIs) and is *very* incomplete since I never had time/motivation to really finish it. There's a lot of legacy code that should be rewritten and ripped out because I didn't know what I was doing.
The main executable (`twl.py`) is a mess that was meant to only be temporary until I finish writing a proper CLI... That's not going to happen at this rate.
That being said it *does* kinda work.
(You have to `set PYTHONPATH=..` on Windows or the Linux equivalent first).
Authenticate with Twitch (follow on-screen instructions)
```
$ py -3.6 twl.py --auth
```
(Authentication information will be saved in `$HOME/twl.json` on Linux or `%USERPROFILE%/twl.json` on Windows)
List games:
```
$ py -3.6 twl.py --list --sort
```
Create aria2c file to download a game
```
$ py -3.6 twl.py -v --install --install-base-dir "twitch" --aria2c --aria2c-file "/tmp/dllist.txt" --game-id
```
This will also print the aria2c command to download the game.
I left some debug/test code in there that shows how updating/patching works in theory. But I never got around to implementing that.
---------------------------------------------------
# Old README before I gave up
# twl.py (Twitch Launcher.py)
A lightweight, multiplatform downloader/installer/updater for games available through the Twitch App.
## Motivation
I wanted to have a simple, fairly lightweight way of downloading and running the (free) games I got through Twitch Prime without the Twitch App.
Why?
- Twitch App is Windows only
- Twitch App is bloated (Twitch player, Discord clone, WoW/minecraft mod manager, and game distribution platform)
- Twitch App is slow and requires an update nearly every launch (yay Electron)
- Most Games are DRM free and don't require the App
## Features, Scope and ToDo
Already implemented:
* Login through Twitch directly (no browser required*)
* Amazon SDS APIs
* Parsing v1/v2 manifests
* Download list exporter for aria2c
* Delta Patching **(untested)**
*Unless manual CAPTCHA solving is required.
Missing features:
* Downloader
* Updater
* Installer (creating shortcuts, running redist installers, etc.)
Out-of-scope/Not planned:
* FuelPump stuff for DRM and online play
**ToDo**
* Rewrite main twl.py file (currently hacked together so it kinda works but pretty ugly)
* Tests
* pipenv file
* setup.py file
* more testing
+ Linux
+ Updating (v1 normal, v2 normal and delta)
