What it does
Streambot lets you start and stop a UT spectator Twitch stream from Discord. You give it a server target, it launches Unreal Tournament and OBS, starts streaming, then monitors the game log so it can shut everything down cleanly when the match ends or when you stop it.
How to use it
Commands
!stream ip:port?password=... — start streaming
!stream status — show current status
!stream stop — stop (restricted)
!stream help — show help
Accepted target formats
ip:port?password=...
unreal://ip:port?password=...
Rules
• Target must be whitelisted
• Password is required (?password=...)
• Password is never shown
• One stream at a time (no queue)
• Auto-stops on map change / password failure
Architecture flow
Simple, single chain.
Discord
-> bot (python)
-> systemd (bash)
-> UT + OBS (sex)
-> log watcher (commandline kung fu)
-> stop (tears)
