[Feature] Allow filtering out specific followed channels by current game / other metadata

[DakuTree]

Would be extremely useful if we could filter channels out from the "Following streams" list if they are playing certain games. Either for all channels or per channel.

Some examples of what would be nice to have:

• If "Streamer A" is playing "Game A" then hide.
• If "Any Streamer" is playing "Game B" then hide.
• If "Any Streamer" stream title contains "#ad" then hide.

Also if my other feature idea #204 gets implemented, this could also pin streams to the top of list instead of hiding them.

• If "Streamer B" stream type is "Premiere" then pin.
• If "Any Streamer" stream title contains "podcast" then pin.
• If "Streamer C" is playing "Game C" then pin.

Ideally this would use some also use some kind of ordered rule system so doing a global hide rule for a game could get overridden by another rule that came after it.
Also rather than completely hiding them, we could just move them to an uncollapsed list at the bottom so they can be checked if needed.

Unsure how feasible this would be, but it would be extremely useful if implemented.

@Ndragomirov you need to implement a filter for Premiere Videos, they're essentially the same as vodcasts and I'm not fond of getting notifications for these.

Stumbled across this issue after wanting the same for quite a while. To make this work one would have to implement a settings value similar to "hideVodcasts", haven't looked much into it yet but maybe "v" contains also the game-name?

Looked into it more after all, to get the basic function of filtering games (which I am mainly interested in and that matches what you want) you would have to:

• Register a new setting that is similar to the livestream path with a textbox:

  • twitch-now/common/lib/app.js

    Line 473 in f1c472d

    id : "livestreamerPath",

• Add new translation e.g. "m113": { "message" : "Filtered Games (seperated by comma)"}
  • https://github.com/Ndragomirov/twitch-now/blob/f1c472df8a7418b67ae7747f9f34b72591fd97f5/_locales/en/messages.json
• Add the new filter condition by splitting the new setting and matching against the stream game. Haven't checked "v" yet, so maybe it doesn't even give you the current game, though since the game is displayed in the live-list it should be retreivable one way or another

Not sure if this project got abandoned, since 4 months ago there was some change, but ever since there wasn't really any messages from the original creator, maybe a fork is due?
