<pstyle="clear:both;">Chatty is a Twitch chat client for everyone who appreciates a dedicated desktop application (similiar to a classic IRC client), but doesn't want to miss out on Twitch-specific features.</p>
<pclass="announce">Note that Java 8u161/162 contains a <ahref="https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8195830">bug</a> that can lead to unusual high CPU usage (at least on Windows). This seems to be fixed in 8u172 (not 8u171). You can <ahref="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html">download 8u172 here</a>. The current Standalone Version <ahref="#download">download</a> still comes bundled with Java 8u151.</p>
<li>With <ahref="https://frankerfacez.com">FrankerFaceZ</a>-Support (Emoticons & Custom Mod Icons) and <ahref="https://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>View a list with the 100 most recent followers/subscribers of your channel</li>
<li>Graph of how your viewercount developed over time this session</li>
<li>Click on nick in chat to open customizable moderation dialog, showing the last messages of this user (no banning the wrong user) and basic account info</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><ahref="https://github.com/chatty/chatty/releases/download/v0.9.1-emotefix/Chatty_0.9.1-emotefix_hotkey_32bit.zip">Download Version 0.9.1 (for 32bit-Java)</a>

<li>Standalone Bundle (Windows executable, includes JRE, no installed Java required):<ul><li><ahref="https://github.com/chatty/chatty/releases/download/v0.9.1-emotefix/Chatty_0.9.1-emotefix_windows_standalone_fixed.zip">Download Version 0.9.1 Windows Standalone</a></li></ul></li>
<li><em>Note:</em> The version with <code>emotefix</code> in the filename was released 2018-06-13, but <em>only</em> fixes Emotes and had to be released pretty quickly, so it's not really listed like a regular release.</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>https://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 send an <ahref="mailto:chattyclient@gmail.com">E-Mail</a>, <ahref="https://twitter.com/chattyclient">Tweet</a> or join the <ahref="https://discord.gg/WTuqGeJ">Chatty Discord</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>
<dt>I have an issue with Chatty, what do I do?</dt>
<dd>Read the <ahref="help/help-troubleshooting.html">Troubleshooting</a>. If you can't solve the issue with that information <ahref="help/help.html#contact">write a message</a>.</dd>
<dt>Does Chatty support other streaming services like YouTube or hitbox.tv?</dt>
<dd>Unfortunately not, and it's not currently planned either. Chatty is designed around Twitch and adding support for other services wouldn't be a trivial task.</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>
