Jukebot is a very simple twitch chatbot that let your viewers play local audio media file directly in your stream from the chat.
No setup, no account, no headache.
The idea is simple. The bot read your twitch chat, check if a specific keyword is written and react accordingly.
The aim is to increase streamer <-> viewer interactions by letting your viewers play funny sounds while your are live.
(my favorite is some kind of "listen to me" sound when someone wants to draw my attention toward the chat 😄. And of course the classic drum effect "badumtsss")
- To install the bot, first download the zip file of the bot from this link: https://github.com/Eskimon/jukebot-twitch-chat-mediabot/archive/master.zip
- Then, unzip the folder wherever you'd like
- Finally... well nothing actually, its done. :D
Let's start by configuring the bot. To do so, open the configurator.html file in your favorite browser.
On the opened page, you can see different sections.
- The first one let you set the global settings
- What is the channel name your bot should read (your streamer's name)
- What is the command your bot should react too (
!play,.audio,?myawesomecommandare all valid 😉)
- Then you can select who can play with the bot (so basically who is allowed to play audio file during your stream)
- Finally, the last section is about how often the bot can be triggered on differents aspects:
- user cooldown is how often a user can trigger the bot. If set to 10 for example, the same user can't trigger the bot only once every 10 seconds
- track cooldown is how often the same command can be triggered
- call cooldown is how often the bot itself can be triggered
The last section is the list of the audio file and the keyword they react too. Simply write the keyword and paste the path to the file and your are good to go!
Last step, save the file under the name config.js exactly at the same location the jukebot.html and configurator.html files are.
To use the bot directly in OBS, add a browser source, then check the box local file and go select your jukebot.html file. Size doesn't matter as we are just playing audio files.
And setup is done. Yup. Told you it wasn't complicated.
If at any time you want to update the configuration (after changing the config.js file), either restart OBS or simply open the properties of the browser source and clear on "refresh page cache".
If you don't want to (or can't) add a browser source in your broadcasting software, you can simply start it in a regular browser and "listen" to the audio of your computer. Just make sure to click in the webpage. Modern browser will silent any audio if you don't interact with the page first.
I'd love to hear your stories about how you use this piece of software!
Feel free to send me a DM on Twitter (link below) to tell me your success story or if you think about new features or encountered any problem toward the setup!
You like this tool? You wanna thank me? Buy me a beer or some coffee!
Also, you can find me on Twitter, Twitch, or my very own blog!
If you now how to code, feel free to submit a Pull Request. Beware, the code can be quite crude at some place. All the code was initially written upon a challenge to do it on stream in less than a day (challenge succeeded btw!)
