Automatically watch Overwatch League youtube streams to generate Overwatch League Tokens in Overwatch. It checks every few minutes if OWL is streaming, if so it opens a hidden selenium browser logged in via chrome, to watch the stream.
This branch displays statistics and status at http://localhost:7676. If you instead want it to send discord messages periodically (or whenever it starts watching stream), check out the other branch (https://github.com/ingobeans/Auto-OWL-Watcher/tree/discord-webhook-logging)

Auto OWL Watcher works by checking if OWL youtube channel is streaming every few minutes, if so it opens a headless (hidden) selenium window that watches the stream. It uses your chrome data to connect to your youtube channel. This way you receive OWL tokens (as long as you are logged in to youtube in chrome and also has connected your youtube account to battle.net for rewards)
"No rewards getting received" - Could be due to not being logged in to youtube in google chrome, or not connected youtube channel to battle.net (like this: https://dotesports.com/overwatch/news/how-to-earn-overwatch-league-tokens)
"Opening launch headless.vbs just shows an error popup saying that the system cannot find the file specified" - Make sure Python is installed, if it is, try restarting your PC, then making sure Python is added to path.
For errors with script crashing on start, make sure that your youtube api token is correct
