Playback

Built on native AVKit with Streamlink input

Glitcho uses a native playback pipeline (Streamlink to AVPlayer) with in-player overlay controls and shared behavior across live streams and local recordings.

  • Native fullscreen, Picture in Picture, and chat collapse/popout controls.
  • Zoom and pan support with consistent controls for both live and recorded content.
  • Focused UI that removes Twitch web clutter while preserving channel context.

Streamer Pages

About, Videos, and Schedule rendered in native UI

Streamer details are converted into native components with a collapsible panel under the player, so navigation stays fast and consistent.

  • About tab scraper converts linked images into tappable native cards.
  • Videos and clips routes handle online/offline channel states correctly.
  • Schedule tab is integrated beside About and Videos with native rendering.

Recording

DVR-style tools and background controls

Recording includes confirmation flows, background agent controls, and scoped auto-record modes designed to avoid runaway process spawning.

  • Auto-record scope by pinned, followed, pinned plus followed, or custom allowlist.
  • Blocklist overrides, cooldown/debounce behavior, and concurrency controls.
  • Bulk library actions, export progress, and retention rules (age + keep-last limits).

Reliability

Background recorder agent with process guardrails

The recorder architecture is designed for deterministic restart/stop flows and improved lifecycle stability under long-running sessions.

  • Background recorder LaunchAgent support with restart and kill controls.
  • Status feedback and confirmation flows for high-impact actions.
  • Profiling workflow to track CPU, RAM, and capture process peaks.
