MAJ-Track-Identifier

Attempts to identify the song currently playing from a twitch live stream. Originally made to support the channel My Analog Journal.

How it Works

• The bot will start recording once it receives the command in chat "!track" (or "!tune", "!playing"). If it is already identifying at the moment then it will ignore the command.
• The bot records around 15 seconds of the Twitch live stream using streamlink
• When the recording is blocked by twitch (due to rate limiting on their own API) the bot will switch vpn connections and try again
• The recording is sent to ACR Cloud to identify the song
• The bot reads the ACR Cloud response and sends a message back to Twitch chat with the song info
• The identified songs are saved to a setlist .json file

Setup

• Install requirements from setup.py
• Create a config.json file in the same directory as bot.py and fill out the required config info. See config.example.json for a template of what needs to be in the config.
• Run python .\bot.py

Project Breakdown

There are four main components to this project:

• twitchrecorder.py - handles recording of the live stream
• identifier.py - handles sending request to ACR and identifying song
• vpnrotator.py - handles connecting and disconnecting to various vpn connections you have configured with Open VPN
• bot.py - all the bot setup and command handling
