Fix twitch vod viewer pagination

Bugfix

• Refix #62, twitch vod viewer pagination was broken

Increased default window width

Bugfix

Increases the default width of the app window, as on some dpi/display resolutions the old width caused wrapping for top stream/vod viewer tiles.

Fix automatic stream refresh on first add

Bugfix

Fixes #90

Fixed a bad bug where automatic refreshes wouldn't start after adding the first channel from a fresh installation of the app.

It worked after restarting the app, but obviously that's a bad first time experience!

As part of the previous release, I also removed the dependency on Octokit.dll so you can feel free to delete that when unpacking the release 7z (or just delete all your non-json files before extracting).

Fix YouTube streams per channel

Bugfix

Fixes #88

Some YouTube channels have a lot of livestreams running concurrently, but the API defaults to returning only 5 if you don't ask for more.

So now I ask for more (50).

Kick auth issues

Bugfix

Kick auth has failed a few times and this prevented the app from being able to initialize properly (if you had followed any kick channels).
Now we allow for auth failures, displaying errors at startup and carrying on with remaining working API platforms.

As part of this release I also removed the dependency on Octokit.dll so you can feel free to delete that when unpacking the release 7z.

2.16.0 - Settings overhaul

Features

• Settings rework #10 #46
• Sorting order remembered between runs #79
• Theme buttons in settings screen reworked
• Defaulted YouTube vods to launch via MPC-HC
  • See README -> FAQ -> How can I watch YouTube vods? for instructions as to how this works

Settings

Settings have been reworked. There are now individual FilePath/Args allowed independently for streams/vods/chats for each platform (twitch, kick, youtube).

The settings menu has been updated accordingly, taking out the filepath/command configurations, as it's a bit time-consuming to setup a new UI component to allow editing and validating values for every platform.

The settings screen has a new "Open Settings File" button to quickly open your settings.json.

settings.json details

If you need/want to change how different platforms interact with the various features, you'll need to edit this file directly.

There is a new DebugMode option in settings.json which will allow you to see the fully replaced FilePath + Args being launched in the message box that pops up when you open a stream/vod, otherwise you'll just see the placeholders (this is to avoid access tokens being shown on screen by default).

When editing FilePath or Args, the token {url} will be replaced automatically. Twitch specifically also has the token {auth_token} that will get replaced. All replacement tokens are optional.

FilePaths accepts both fully qualified paths and short paths such as vlc or streamlink. If you can launch it from Win+R (Run) prompt, it should work here too (hopefully).

Your existing settings.json will be migrated to the new version, the current will be backed up automatically in case something goes wrong or you want to compare.

Here's what your YouTube setting should look like by default after updating:

  "YouTube": {
    "StreamCommand": {
      "FilePath": "streamlink",
      "Args": "{url} best",
      "CaptureStandardOutput": true,
      "CaptureErrorOutput": true
    },
    "VodCommand": {
      "FilePath": "mpc-hc64",
      "Args": "{url}",
      "CaptureStandardOutput": true,
      "CaptureErrorOutput": true
    },
    "ChatCommand": {
      "FilePath": "C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe",
      "Args": "--app={url} --window-size=450,800",
      "CaptureStandardOutput": false,
      "CaptureErrorOutput": false
    }
  }

Last update for a while

I'm not currently planning on any features for a while, as I'm starting up some new work. I'll fix any bugs that appear though.

When kick comes out with pagination support for top streams and category filtering, I'll implement that too.

There seems to be some ongoing issues going on with launching kick streams through streamlink due to the JavaScript checks kick have on their APIs, hopefully that is permanently resolvable: streamlink/streamlink#6500
