Whenever a vlc.MediaPlayer is initialized and played, the object frees the memory from the audio but not from itself once it's done playing, so over time, memory is being eaten. For normal situations this won't be too impactful.

Please help, I've been trying this all day and I've got nothing. I can either play all the sounds from a folder or none. Adding a command to core_sounds.py to just play a sound doesn't work with AudioPlayer, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I would share my code but I've mostly just tried to copy it from yours and it's unsuccessful. An example would be like:

@BOT.decorator(['!random'])
def random_sound(_):
    rand = random.choice(SOUNDS)
    rand_sound = AudioPlayer(os.path.join(SOUNDS_PATH, rand))
    play_sound(rand_sound)

Nothing happens and I have no idea why this doesn't work... please help!!!

Had errors when attempting to run the bot as it could not find module "Parky_Bot". Pretty sure this isn't supposed to be empty?

This is the same with all the init files in the parky_bot package.

Both Linux/Mac comes with python pre-installed and in my opinion, a waste to bundle lots of system binaries just to make it "convenient" for the user. I know for a fact Pyinstaller bundles everything into a single file for MacOS and acts like a regular system app, with the drawback of slow startup speed, which I totally don't want.

In order to make it convenient for both systems, I need to find the best way for them to run the application. (other than following the running locally instructions)

• Tkinter's Button looks weird: Fixed widgets for MacOS: https://github.com/Saadmairaj/tkmacosx Should be easy to import the correct Class depending on OS
• grab_set() causes Entry on main Tk window to not work anymore.
• resizable does not work at all

*Python 3.6 on Big Sur

Tkinter has a limited amount of chars it can display, and ASCII range is a bit too low for my taste.

There's a function here that could solve the problem but I'm not happy with it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23530080/how-to-print-non-bmp-unicode-characters-in-tkinter-e-g

Currently, the user must visit "www.twitchapps.com/tmi/" and generate their token and refresh it. Would be a lot better if this could be done with fewer clicks or even within the application.

• Find a way for the user to authorize access to their twitch accounts.
• Understand how to refresh the token so the user doesn't need to manually edit that every time

This website's source should give us a hint https://twitchapps.com/tokengen/

Currently, all plugins are loaded in app.py, that was a decision because pyinstaller wasn't hooking external dependencies correctly at some point in time(?). Plugins are also loaded from 2 different locations, which is confusing. My proposed change is to move the plugins folder to the root of the project. During the build, pyinstaller now needs to hook "hidden imports".

The solution is to run tkinter on the main thread, and call BOT.pooling() on a secondary thread. In fact, this looks like the ideal thing to do regardless of the platform.

A welcome message being displayed in form of log could help users to know what to do on their first setup. A tkinter window could also be added. There's two ways I can think of to implement this feature:

• Add a new setting called "welcome_on_startup" in settings.json, to be set to False after checking... somewhere?
• Add a new Settings class that will have volatile information (might useful in the future)

Current way of parsing Twitch IRC works well enough, but following this IRC model from an expert twitch dev, maybe I could make my implementation better and smarter in a future release: https://github.com/BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/blob/main/chat/chat.js
