Embed channel stream in custom hls html5 player

API

Hi!

At present is it possible to get twitch channel m3u8 stream manifest file and play it with my custom hls player (hls.js)? If yes, what do I need for that (keys etc.)?!

No, this isn’t supported. The only supported way to play Twitch is the official embed.

Here’s how it happens:

You get the token and signature here:

https://api.twitch.tv/api/channels/CHANNEL_NAME/access_token

Then you use it here to get the m3u8 for CHANNE_NAME:

https://usher.ttvnw.net/api/channel/hls/CHANNEL_NAME.m3u8?

The URI encoded JSON token:

token=TOKEN&

The signature:

sig=SIGNATURE&

These do something

allow_source=true&
player_backend=html5&

Experiment example:

baking_bread=true

And then you go from there.
