<pstyle="clear:both;">Chatty is a Twitch chat client for everyone who wants to try something new and different from the webchat, but doesn't want the complexity of an IRC client or miss out on the Twitch specific features.</p>
<li>With <ahref="http://frankerfacez.com">FrankerFaceZ</a>-Support (Emoticons & Custom Mod Icons) and <ahref="http://betterttv.nightdev.com">BetterTTV</a> emotes (no Personal Emotes though), including unified bot badge</li>
<li>Easily open streams in your browser, or run <ahref="https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer">Livestreamer</a> (or the more up-to-date <ahref="https://streamlink.github.io/">Streamlink</a>) out of Chatty</li>
<li>Let Chatty help making Stream Highlights by adding the current stream time to a file (including optionally your moderators)</li>
<li>View a list with the 100 most recent followers/subscribers of your channel</li>

<p>You need to have the Java 8 JRE or later installed (unless you're using the Windows Standalone version). <ahref="http://www.java.com/download/">Download Java</a> if you need it.</p>
<li>Standalone Bundle (Windows executable, includes JRE, no installed Java required):<ul><li><ahref="https://github.com/chatty/chatty/releases/download/v0.8.7/Chatty_0.8.7_windows_standalone.zip">Download Version 0.8.7 Windows Standalone</a></li></ul></li>
<p>When you start Chatty the Connect Dialog should come up. Click <code>Create login..</code> and <code>Request login data</code> and follow the instructions to authorize Chatty to connect to chat for you. There is also a short
<ahref="help/help-getting-started.html"><strong>Getting Started Guide</strong></a>.</p>
<p>There is some <ahref="help/help.html">help</a> available (you can find the same in the program itself). There is also a <ahref="changes.txt">changelog</a>.</p>
<p>You can use <ahref="Chatty_banner_320px.png">this banner</a> if you like Chatty and want to promote it. Just link to <code>http://chatty.github.io</code> please. :)</p>
<p>This is my first slightly bigger program, so go easy on me. ;) But if you find any bugs or have any other feedback, feel free to tell me. You can <ahref="http://www.twitch.tv/message/compose?to=tduva">message me on Twitch</a>, write me an <ahref="mailto:chattyclient@gmail.com">e-mail</a> or use <ahref="https://twitter.com/chattyclient">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p>Please tell me about bugs or else I can't fix them. Please describe exactly <em>what</em> happened and <em>how</em> it happened, since this is absolutely necessary to find out what went wrong (just saying "it doesn't work" or "it won't load" can mean a lot of things). You should also copy the debug.log file in your settings directory (type /openDir to open it, or /dir if that doesn't work) before it is overwritten, in case it could be helpful to find the bug.</p>
<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Sometimes users aren't correctly sorted in the userlist</li>
<li>Windows: Dragging the upper edge to maximize the window vertically doesn't resize the contents of the window.
This may be a Java Bug that I cannot fix. Workaround: Try double-clicking the upper edge instead of dragging it.</li>
<dd>No. However, you can manually connect to Group Chat by changing the server/port to connect to (you can change it in the Settings under Advanced, use the <ahref="help/help.html#settings">'server' and 'port'
settings</a>, the <ahref="help/help.html#commands">/server</a> command or <ahref="help/help.html#launch">commandline parameters</a>) and looking up the channel name yourself
(you can use <ahref="http://blog.bashtech.net/twitch-group-chat-irc/">this blogpost</a> for help on that). There are a few drawbacks: Since Chatty can currently only
connect to one server at a time, you would have to run more than one instance if you want to use regular Twitch Chat at the same
time. Use <ahref="help/help-guide1.html">this guide</a> in the help for more information. It also wouldn't recognize the channel as a group chat channel, so some stuff
<dt>Does Chatty support other streaming services like hitbox.tv?</dt>
<dd>Unfortunately not. And adding support wouldn't be a trivial task either, since Chatty is designed around Twitch and adding other services would require a lot of changes.</dd>
<dt>Why does Chatty report "Stream offline", even though the stream clearly didn't go offline?</dt>
<dd>Sometimes the Twitch API will return a stream as offline, even though it isn't. Chatty checks the API twice before reporting a stream as offline, but if both checks return false data, then a false offline report will happen.</dd>
<dt>Why does the userlist not show all users correctly?</dt>
<dd>First of all check that <code>Settings - Advanced - Correct Userlist</code> is enabled. Even then, the userlist in Twitch Chat shouldn't be taken too seriously. <ahref="http://chatty.github.io/help/help.html#userlist">Read more about the userlist..</a></dd>
