Notifier

Notify if a specific team plays.  
Options:  
  -f, --force                ignore history  
  -s, --seconds INTEGER      seconds threshold before sending out the  
                             notification (default=900)  
  -m, --minutes INTEGER      minutes threshold before sending out the  
                             notification (default=15)  
  -p, --pushbullet           Use pushbullet notification instead system  
                             notify-send  
  -k, --pushbullet-key TEXT  Pushbullet API key to use to send the  
                             notification, can be set through enviroment  
                             variable PUSHBULLET_API  
  --help                     Show this message and exit.  

Notify when a match with a specific team playing is about to start using system-notify or pushbullet service. Argument team is a case insensitive regular expressions fielda.
Important: notification history is stored in ~/.ggmt_history to prevent flooding. You can ignore history with a -f/--force flag

Example:

Notify 30 minutes before game starts

$ ggmt notify dota2 na`vi --minutes 30

Notify via pushbullet when live

$ export PUSHBULLET_API=<api_key>
$ ggmt notify dota2 na`vi --seconds 0 --pushbullet

Using With Cron

Of course notifier is only useful if it is checking constantly. To do that you can use cron services via crontab -e command on linux, add this crontab:

*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/ggmt notify dota2 na`vi --minutes 5

This will check for na'vi games every 10 minutes.

Important: To use notify-send with cron you need to apply fix described in this issue. In short you need to expose your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS to $HOME/.dbus/Xdbus file.
If anyone knows workaround for this please submit and issue or a PR!

Watch

Open a stream in browser or media player.  
Options:  
  -s, --show-unavailable  list matches that don't have streams too  
  -t, --template TEXT     set message template  
  -w, --in-window         open stream in window instead of tab(if possible)

  -p, --print             just print url instread  
  -q, --quality TEXT      [default:best] open in livestreamer instead  
  --help                  Show this message and exit.  

This command shows you a list of available streams and opens up a selected one in your browser or default mediaplayer (via use of sreamlink)
