twtdl

Download Twitch VODs and burn chat with one command

twtdl is a bare-bones wrapper used to trivialize VOD + chat rendering for offline viewing.

Currently the chat is burned-in to the top-right of the VOD. It is underlaid with a transparent black rectangle.

The program has a few customizable options. Check them by passing --help.

Usage

Download the twtdl repository to your computer, and then open a PowerShell window / terminal with the working directory being the repository folder.

To download a VOD with default parameters: python ./start.py "VOD ID here"

To download a VOD with custom parameter(s): python ./start.py --chat_opacity 0.4 --gamma 1.6 "VOD ID here"

To display parameter documentation: python ./start.py --help
