I’m having a hard time developing something that can fetch chat data from a twitch stream, a stream the user has chosen, while another user fetches chat data from a different stream using a different initialization of the same program. Yes, i can make a IRC bot that fetches stream chat data, but how would i enable this bot to fetch chat data from multiple streams asynchronously? I am wondering if there is some other way to fetch chat data from streams, as using a bot to read IRC messages would only give me one thread to go on.
With chat data i mean live comments from a twitch stream.
You can join multiple channels on a single IRC connection. Unless you are joining a large amount of channel one thread will be more than enough to just read chat messages.
There’s no hard limit, but you’ll start getting disconnected from the send buffer overflowing when you’ve joined too many active channels, depending how active they are.
