FurAffinity - Streaming Notification Features?
7 years ago
General
Been wondering if there's any way to tie in a feature that simply watches Picarto.tv API or even just waits for input from me on FA to notify it that I'm starting a stream so it'll automatically post a template image/description with information and then idly monitor the API from Picarto so that it can auto-delete the stream submission notifier when I go offline. (something tedious I hate having to go do after each stream for the sake of tidiness and making sure people don't waste time looking for an offline stream)
This became a curiosity because originally I just wanted to embed this status notifier on my profile:
https://api.picarto.tv/v1/channel/name/Spottycat/status.png?h=40&w=160
But then carrying the thought further, I'd really like to see some way to help make stream notification a stronger feature on FA in general since streaming is, I feel, a significant part of our art community these days.

Well, it's definitely possible to make something like this that will run on your computer, a python script or something. I don't know of anything out there that's already been made, though, and I'm pretty rusty at web automation stuff. I think I have my setup I used to use for auto-posting things on FA kicking around on a linux virtual machine somewhere...

Dug out my old linux VM, found the python scripts I was using. I was using a python module called splinter, which is not easy to get working on windows. Technically possible, not easy. Splinter is just a framework for simplifying a powerful tool called Selenium, though, which is much easier to get working on windows. It's all Python scripting stuff, though. n.n;
