Twitchy Server
A self-hosted playback source for Twitchy that serves supported Twitch live streams, VODs and clips.
Overview
The idea
Twitchy Server gives Twitchy users a playback source they can run on their own infrastructure. The native app handles the viewing experience and the server handles media delivery.

How it works
Inside the project
Signed HLS playback
A versioned API creates authenticated sessions and serves signed playlists and media segments for supported streams.
Offline media transfer
The server can transfer supported public VODs and clips to the client as MP4 files for offline playback.
Docker deployment
The Go service uses Streamlink and FFmpeg and runs with Docker Compose on a compatible host.
Status and limitations
Requires a compatible self-hosted environment. Availability depends on the upstream service and supported media. Twitchy Server is independent of Twitch.
