This extension to gnome-shell adds a small panel that shows whether your favorite streamers are online. Clicking the panel will open a list of streamers with the ability to launch the streamer's twitch page or execute an arbitrary command to open that stream.
Needs curl and mogrify to fully support streamer logos.
Install it from here (using Firefox with the gnome-integration plugin): https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1078/twitchlive-panel/
I use streamlink (https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink) with
streamlink twitch.tv/%streamer% high,best as the opening command instead
of the default xdg-open http://twitch.tv/%streamer%.
If the settings-dialogue is broken - like now - but you still need to authenticate against twitch, you can enter the following into the terminal:
xdg-open "https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=1zat8h7je94boq5t88of6j09p41hg0&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8877&scope=" ; python3 ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/TwitchLive_Panel@extensions.maweki.de/oauth_receive.py ~/.cache/twitchlive-extension/oauth_token
