Sharing tool I made: download, convert and merge past broadcasts to mp4 for mobile devices

[Crazytje]

Sometimes I wanted to watch past broadcasts on my android tablet, but because they're flv's it's not supported, only live steams work with the twitch app.

What I wanted was browse the live streams, view their past broadcasts, download the one i want to watch and make it watchable on my tablet.

Also needed a web interface for this as I wanted to do this entirely on my tablet

Quickly made this today, you can get it on github here: https://github.com/nvanlaerebeke/TwitchBroadcastToMP4

To give you an idea how it works/looks: http://imgur.com/a/VU5Nv

This is very basic, all I really did was use a rapid development framework and throw together a few command line commands

Uses / needs:

- Ffmpeg 1.1+ (concat available from this version)

- CakePHP (php framework), included in download

- Sqlite3, uses this to keep track of the downloads/conversions etc (mysql schema included as well)

- Developed on a centos 6 machine

- Tested on an asus android tablet using chrome/mxplayer as test

There is a readme on github if you need more info

If more people are interested I might polish it up a bit more, but for my own use this is enough.

Hope this helps a few ppl that wanted the same as me.

Love the idea behind it.  Just now to see if I can get it going for my personal use.
