Auto-Category: OBS Script Automating Twitch Categories​

Manual list of games & lower priority discord api list

Installation & Requirements​

1. Python version 3.9 or later, configured/loaded with OBS
2. Python libraries: requests, psutil
   pip install requests psutil
3. Save As and Place auto-category4.py in:
   C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\frontend-tools\scripts
4. Create a config.json file in the same folder with your Twitch API credentials:
   
   Code:

   {
   "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
   "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
   "broadcaster_name": "YOUR_TWITCH_USERNAME"
   }

   
   
5. To obtain Twitch API credentials:
   • Go to the Twitch Developer Console
   • Register a New Application
   • Set OAuth Redirect URL to:http://localhost:1111
   • Category: Application Integration
   • Client Type: Confidential
   • Copy the Client ID and Client Secret -> step 4.
     * note the port `1111` must match in both Twitch App and the script (line 234). If changing it: Use a port number above 1024​

Usage​

1. Launch OBS (run as admin to minimize any issues)
2. Go to Tools -> Scripts -> + Button
3. Select auto-category4.py
4. Click "Login With Twitch"
5. Login when prompted (required once per OBS session)

Adding More Games Manually override discord database with prioirty over 30​

Edit these two lines in auto_category4.py:
process_categories = {"minecraft.exe": "Minecraft"}
process_priorities = {"minecraft.exe": 90}

Further example:
"game or app in lowercase as is on task manager.exe": "Category as it appears in Twitch categories drop down selection",
"vscode.exe": "Software and Game Development",

Blacklist​

You can add programs to the blacklist if you do not want them to trigger a category update on twitch.

example:
launcher.exe auto triggers a twitch category update, we can add launcher.exe to blacklists

Note​

• Login is only needed once per OBS session or less
• The script is being updated and maintained: Please keep your script updated, unless it works for you and you are happy with what you have currently
