Easily browse and search channels and games. Keep track of your follows whether you have a Twitch account or not. A super fast, hardware-accelerated player plus a fully integrated native chat makes for a fantastic viewing experience. GNOME Twitch is packed with cool features and development is constantly on-going, bringing heaps of new stuff straight to you.
Should this work with 16.04? Unsure if I’m doing something wrong, my setup is busted, or if it’s not supposed to work…
After connecting the interface to the gnome-3-24 platform snap, the gnome-twitch app still only displays the error message to connect to the platform snap.
I’ve got the platform refreshed to --edge, and gnome-twitch on --beta, core up to date (but still stable). As well, gnome-clocks has the same issue, but gnome-sudoku runs totally perfectly.
I think this is likely the bug described here where you can only connect a content interface (in this case the gnome-3-24 platform) onto a previously unopened snap. A reboot will likely clear it out and there is also a hack by running sudo /usr/lib/snapd/snap-discard-ns gnome-twitch and trying again. That command might require the connection to be re-established with the snap connect command afterwards, but I’m not certain on that.
[syntist@archlinux ~]$ snap run gnome-twitch
[12:43:24] Unknown - GLib-GIO : No GSettings schemas are installed on the system

the opengl renderer works for me… how annoying. don’t you love bugs you can’t reproduce on your own system? There might be helpful information output if you try running from a console and reproduce the crash, though I’m expecting not:
$ snap run gnome-twitch
or
$ /snap/bin/gnome-twitch
and if /snap/bin is in your path you can also launch it with
$ gnome-twitch
It’s like a choose-your-own adventure: all three go to the same place, but you get to feel good about choosing the right one :-p
The output when i select the opengl renderer and than try to play the stream:

I have checked these, they are present in gnome-3-24 but still saying no such file!!
Had a play with gnome-twitch snap on 16.04 and it works well. However I’m not able to get to the settings screen or figure out how to login to twitch. The 0.4.1 deb on 17.10 allows me to login, so I can see who I am following etc. Is this something that can be added to the snap?
