This is also useful in case the amazon/google spat flares up again. With this I guess it should be possible to daisychain from twitch to chromecast via vlc if they start another game of brinkmanship over access to video.

Absolutely. You can play any Twitch stream from VLC and cast it on your TV.

  Is this possible without https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink ?

    You don't have to dig around for the underlying video stream, you can actually just paste a twitch stream link straight into the vlc network stream dialog, I'm not sure what magic it does but that's worked even well before this new version.

    In case you're confused, eterm was just proposing this as an option. At this time the Twitch app does support casting from the desktop, Android, and iOS [0]. This roundabout solution would only be needed if Amazon decided to remove that functionality.

  Which is very useful, since Twitch's Roku app is complete and utter garbage.

    And, in fact, discontinued.
