What is this?
This web-application is a way to follow Twitch-Channels,
without using either the Twitch.tv website directly or requiring a
twitch account.
Instead, this utility uses simple polling techniques in order to check,
which of the specified Twitch-Channels are currently online and
streaming. Simply insert a comma-separated list of twitch-usernames in
the form at the top of the page and click "save".
For each channel, the current online-status is checked periodically
every 15 minutes. All online users are then served on this page as a
simple list, including the current stream title and the stream thumbnail
image directly from twitch.tv. You can click the thumbnail of a
stream-preview to start playback. This will embed the livestream
directly, i.e. your browser will connect to twitch.tv
Privacy Statement
Besides Access Information, no information of site visitors are
collected.
When submitting a list of twitch-channels in the form, a cookie storing
that list is set, so the service knows which channels to poll. Set
cookies are not part of the collected access information and are not
analysed.
Polling the online-status of channels, starting to watch a channel’s
livestream or opening the “Chat” box is done client-side. Your browser
will directly connect to www.twitch.tv, thereby transfering your IP
address as well as potentially other data, leaked by your webbrowser.
