Twitch on Kodi

Watch your favorite gaming streams on Kodi.

LOGIN

1. Go to Settings - Login - Login (device code)
2. Visit twitch.tv/activate on any device, sign in, and enter the code shown in Kodi

The add-on stores the tokens and refreshes them automatically. Automatic refresh requires a public Client ID — the bundled Client ID cannot refresh tokens, so you will be asked to log in again once the token expires. To enable automatic refresh:

1. Register your own application at dev.twitch.tv/console/apps (OAuth Redirect URL: http://localhost, Client Type: Public)
2. Enter its Client ID in Settings - Developer - OAuth Client ID
3. Log in again via Settings - Login - Login (device code)

AD-FREE PLAYBACK (TURBO / SUBSCRIPTIONS)

If your Twitch account has Turbo, or you are subscribed to a channel, you can use Settings - Subscriber and Turbo Benefits - Login: ad-free playback / Turbo (device code) and authorize with that account to watch without ads (where Twitch grants it).

FAQ

• I can't find the Twitch.tv add-on in the Kodi add-on manager!

Make sure you are using at least Kodi 20 (Nexus).

• I'm having issues with the playback of streams (buffering, dropping, stuttering).

This Add-on does not handle any aspect of the playback of Twitch streams (that would be the Kodi Video Player), it simply tells Kodi what to play. The Add-on does however provide Quality Options which may help if your internet connection / computer specs are below requirements for HD streams. Try making sure that the Kodi Add-on "InputStream Adaptive" is installed, and Adaptive Quality is enabled in Twitch.tv's Add-on settings.
