- Download Twitch VODs

Check twitch-downloader-gui on github or on the AUR for a Linux GUI wrapper for the CLI.
No GUI is avaiable for MacOS yet :(
The CLI is cross platform and performs the main functions of the program. It works on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.*
*Only Intel Macs have been tested
I've never really made a command line utility before so things may change in the future. If you're on Linux, make sure fontconfig and libfontconfig1 are installed (apt-get install fontconfig libfontconfig1).
For example, you could copy/paste this into a .bat file on Windows, to download a VOD, chat, and then render in a single go.
@echo off
set /p vodid="Enter VOD ID: "
TwitchDownloaderCLI.exe videodownload --id %vodid% --ffmpeg-path "ffmpeg.exe" -o %vodid%.mp4
TwitchDownloaderCLI.exe chatdownload --id %vodid% -o %vodid%_chat.json
TwitchDownloaderCLI.exe chatrender -i %vodid%_chat.json -h 1080 -w 422 --framerate 30 --update-rate 0 --font-size 18 -o %vodid%_chat.mp4

TwitchDownloaderCLI - Browse to where you extracted the file and give it executable rights in Terminal:

- If you do not have ffmpeg, you should install it via your distro package manager, however you can also get it as a standalone file from ffmpeg.org or by using TwitchDownloaderCLI:
./TwitchDownloaderCLI ffmpeg --download
If downloaded as a standalone file, you must also give it executable rights with:
sudo chmod +x ffmpeg

./TwitchDownloaderCLI videodownload --id <vod-id-here> -o out.mp4
For Arch Linux, there's an AUR Package
