making an auth token config

[DannyDarth]

If i am reading right. To make an auth token config for twtich. i need to add it to %APPDATA%\streamlink\config.pluginname,
naming the new config to config.twitch? Then adding the line "--twitch-access-token-param KEY=(twitch token)".

Is this how i am suppose to do it with it using my own auth token?

Everything is explained very clearly in Streamlink's docs.
https://streamlink.github.io/cli/plugins/twitch.html#authentication

On Windows, the config file is located at %APPDATA%\streamlink, so either create/update your config file or add config.twitch and then add the necessary parameters WITHOUT leading dashes, as explained clearly in the config docs:
https://streamlink.github.io/cli/config.html#syntax

--twitch-access-token-param KEY=(twitch token)

How did you come up with this? This is mentioned nowhere in the docs.

You are supposed to add an OAuth token like this, which is once again clearly mentioned in the docs:

twitch-api-header=Authorization=OAuth YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

So i did that without the -- just now and this is what pops up when i try to open a stream

Referenced the command line from here
https://streamlink.github.io/latest/cli.html#cmdoption-config

EDIT: Followed what you just posted. with the command line and its working. Sorry for the hassle i miss understood what was posted.

I can't help people who refuse to read, sorry. This is not difficult at all, and as I already said several times after the recent ad-changes on Twitch, I won't spend any more time on individual people who are having trouble understanding any of this, especially when everything is already documented as well and as comprehensible as possible. I can't help everyone, and the vast majority of people can make this work without any issues. This is not worth my time, and I have already wasted several ten thousands of hours on this project. Be glad that you already received your answer. Good luck.
