Twitch TV Subtitles

You are a live streamer using OBS ( Open Broadcaster Software ) and you are open to experimental ways to increase followers on your stream. And you don't want to spend money, because reasons and the internet should be free!

Installation Guide: OBS Subtitles for Twitch TV

Start here: https://www.pubnub.com/developers/twitch-tv-obs-subtitles/

Follow the easy 60 second installation. To install Subtitles in OBS for Twitch, start by visiting the URL above.

Running Twitch.TV Subtitles from Local Files on your Hard Drive

If you've downloaded this repository, made changes and want them to be available in your OBS, you need to follow these instructions. Due to security, you need to run an HTTP Server for OBS to access your local files. You'll do this by opening a terminal window and running a Simple HTTP server. Attempting to run Twitch Subtitles without an HTTP server will result in a non-working page with "Start talking." permanently stuck on the viewport.

1.) Download and Install Python: https://www.python.org/downloads/

2.) After you've installed Python, open your terminal and start the

Python Simple HTTP Server in the same director as the Twitch.TV Subtitles:

Windows: Press WinKey+R type cmd and press "Enter" to open a Command Prompt

Mac: Press Command+Space type terminal and press "Enter".

Navigate to the Twitch TV Subtitles directory using cd command.

cd twitch-tv-obs-subtitles
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

If the cd command fails, you need to know where the folder is located. You must cd to the folder twitch-tv-obs-subtitles. It may be in your Downloads folder: cd Downloads/twitch-tv-obs-subtitles. If you are still having trouble, you may try the Alternate lower in this document.

3.) Copy the URL from Step 2 on the Subtitles Twitch.TV Page

The URL will look similar to this:

https://stephenlb.github.io/twitch-tv-obs-subtitles/subtitles.html?subkey=sub-c-79b0a26a-80a9-11e8-8f4a-96bbd71e7d14&pubkey=pub-c-fd9b97a4-7b78-4ae1-a21e-3614f2b6debe&channel=1552687539739502028833&style=background%3Ablack%3Bfont-weight%3A600%3Btext-transform%3Auppercase%3Btext-shadow%3Anone%3Bpadding%3A10px%3B

Keep Subtitles Twitch.TV Page open. This page will capture your voice and transmit it to your local computer.

4.) Modify the copied URL from Step 3 by replacing

https://stephenlb.github.io/twitch-tv-obs-subtitles/subtitles.html with

http://0.0.0.0:8080/subtitles.html.

Your final URL will look like:

http://0.0.0.0:8080/subtitles.html?subkey=sub-c-79b0a26a-80a9-11e8-8f4a-96bbd71e7d14&pubkey=pub-c-fd9b97a4-7b78-4ae1-a21e-3614f2b6debe&channel=1552687539739502028833&style=background%3Ablack%3Bfont-weight%3A600%3Btext-transform%3Auppercase%3Btext-shadow%3Anone%3Bpadding%3A10px%3B

5.) Past the Final URL into OBS.

Note that your final URL will differ from the one shown above.

That's it!
If you've made a mistake start over from the beginning it won't hurt to repeat any of the steps. However you may run into issues. That's why we've included a second option that may work better for you.

Alternate: Running Twitch.TV Subtitles from Local Files on your Hard Drive

While this method is easier, it is not the preferred method. This method introduces an opportunity for someone else to take over your subtitles mid-stream. It is unlikely that someone will know how to do this, however it is easy for a hacker. If you want to avoid a hacker taking over your subtitles, use the secure method: Secure Method.

Also if you're using Subtitles Twitch.TV Page directly off the PubNub website, then your are secured automatically.

1.) Edit the file js/username.js.

It will look like this:

function username() {
    return ""; // <-- Fill in your username
               // example: return "ninja";
}

And type in your Twitch Username like this:

function username() {
    return "MY_TWITCH_ID_HERE"; // <-- Fill in your username
               // example: return "ninja";
}

2.) Copy the URL from Step 2 on the Subtitles Twitch.TV Page

It will look similar to this:

https://stephenlb.github.io/twitch-tv-obs-subtitles/subtitles.html?channel=1552687539739502028833&subkey=sub-c-79b0a26a-80a9-11e8-8f4a-96bbd71e7d14&pubkey=pub-c-fd9b97a4-7b78-4ae1-a21e-3614f2b6debe&style=background%3Ablack%3Bfont-weight%3A600%3Btext-transform%3Auppercase%3Btext-shadow%3Anone%3Bpadding%3A10px%3B

3.) Modify the copied URL from Step 2 by replacing

channel=1552687539739502028833 with

channel=MY_TWITCH_ID_HERE.

4.) Point your Chrome Browser to:

https://stephenlb.github.io/twitch-tv-obs-subtitles/subtitles.html?channel=MY_TWITCH_ID_HERE&subkey=sub-c-79b0a26a-80a9-11e8-8f4a-96bbd71e7d14&pubkey=pub-c-fd9b97a4-7b78-4ae1-a21e-3614f2b6debe&style=background%3Ablack%3Bfont-weight%3A600%3Btext-transform%3Auppercase%3Btext-shadow%3Anone%3Bpadding%3A10px%3B

Warning! Make sure only one Twitch.TV Subtile Page is open. If they are others, they will block your local page.

5.) Add a new browser source in OBS.

6.) Check Local file in OBS Browser config window.

7.) Click Browse button and select subtitles.html

found in your folder twitch-tv-obs-subtitles.

That's it! Easy right?

What is an OBS Browser Source?

Browser Sources can be added to your scenes of your streaming software and enable you to use web based content such as Flash and JavaScript applications, websites and so on and even customize them via CSS. Since this kind of content is usually not written in the same coding languages as your streaming application, a translator is needed to make it possible for both to communicate with each other.

Build Website Landingpage

You will not need to do this as it is only a tool used for building the landing page on the PubNub Website. This will build ./build/dashboard.html and copy source to your clipboard. You can see a live version of the Twitch TV OBS Subtitles Browser Source page.

./copy
