Bot at work
How MovieBot runs the night.
The Python/TwitchIO bot scans local files, listens to chat, resolves votes, refreshes/reconnects, and tells OBS which file to play next.
What I built
Stream page and bot explanation.
- Embedded Twitch player/chat and kept library, source, and case-study paths close.
- Added fallback links for blocked Twitch embeds.
- Moved searchable catalog to its own page.
- Explained folder scanning, chat commands, ties, refresh/reconnects, and OBS handoff.
Uses Twitch embeds/chat, OBS WebSocket context, and movie data; static page structure and presentation are custom.
Production readiness
Showcase surface, not bot runtime.
- Solid: static room, embed fallbacks, library/source links, and bot workflow summary.
- Demo-only: playback still depends on local Python, OBS, and the operator.
- Needs: status panels, embed-health messaging, connection state, queue visibility, and Twitch/OBS checks.
- Security: keep OAuth/OBS secrets, media paths, and private config out of the page.
Testing and QA notes
Check embeds and bot flow.
- Automated: Python bot has pytest; this page uses manual/browser smoke checks.
- Manual: verify embeds, fallbacks, links, bot flow, contact paths, and focus.
- Device: test desktop, tablet, and narrow mobile stream/chat layout.
- Edge cases: blocked embeds, offline stream, unavailable chat, slow posters, and blocked clipboard.
- Limit: no live bot health, queue state, OBS status, or alerts yet.
Deployment and run notes
Static showcase; local bot runtime.
- Hosted: GitHub Pages page; Python bot runs on the operator machine.
- Config: no page secrets or env vars; Twitch channel names are constrained in script.
- External: lazy Twitch player/chat embeds plus Library, GitHub, and case-study links.
- Local: run
python -m http.server 8000and open/movie-night.html. - Secrets: OAuth tokens, OBS passwords, media paths, and logs stay only in bot runtime.
Chat votes
Viewers use !vote, !results, !currentmovie, and !time.
The winner is picked
The bot totals votes, handles ties, and can fall back to random.
OBS plays it
OBS WebSocket updates the source, switches scene, and starts the movie.

Built for long sessions: token refresh, chat health checks, and OBS reconnects.
