How to use it

This code only works for Linux, and maybe for MacOs.

First of all clone the repo (you have to have git installed) with:

git clone https://git.zzls.xyz/Fijxu/TwitchToYoutube

The rest of this guide is separated in different parts

1. Create a twitch application
2. Get the twitch tokens
3. Configure youtubeuploader
4. Run

Create a twitch Application

• First you have to go to the twitch devs page.
• Click on Log in with Twitch on the top right.
• After accepting click on Your console.
• Click on Register your application.
• In url you have to put http://localhost, the rest is not important.
• Click on Create.
• Then click on the button next to the application that says Manage.
• They save the field that says Customer ID and create a new customer secret, they also save it for the following steps

Get the twitch tokens

• With the tokens we saved earlier, run this command replacing CUSTOMER ID and CUSTOMER SECRET with the values you saved

curl --request POST 'https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "client_id": "CLIENT ID",
    "client_secret": "CLIENT SECRET",
    "grant_type": "client_credentials"
}'

• you will get something like {"access_token": "TOKEN",...}, that access_token is the one you have to put in the twitchauth field of the config.sh file and in clientid put the client id you used before

Configure youtubeuploader

• Download the latest release of youtubeuploader for your system. (unless you have linux on a mac or something weird, you have to download the one ending with Linux_x86_64.tar.gz )

• Unzip the downloaded file

tar -xzvf youtubeuploader_22.04_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

• Move the binary to the ~/.local/bin folder

mv youtubeuploader ~/.local/bin

• Create the configuration folder

mkdir ~/.config/youtubeuploader

• Follow these instructions and save the client_secrets.json file in the ~/.config/youtubeuploader/ folder we created before (don't forget to add the account you want to use for uploading videos as test user)

• The youtubeuploader tool is not fully polished and for it to work you have to first try to upload a video to youtube with it. The browser opens and you have to authorize the application with the same account you added in the previous step (the video is uploaded in private by default).

• To do that, run this command, change yourVideo for the name of the video you want to upload

youtubeuploader -filename yourVideo.mp4

• It will generate a request.token file in the current directory, save it in the folder of this repo together with the twtoyt.sh and config.sh files. If you want to use it on a server where you don't have a monitor (99% of the cases) you will have to copy the request.token and client_secrets.json files to the server in the corresponding folders.

Execute

With this you should now have everything you need to run the script, simply give the script run permissions with

chmod +x twtoyt.sh

and run it with

./twtoyt.sh
