There is a piece of html streamer profile code, you need to parse a string from it.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='ru' style='overflow: hidden;' xml:lang='ru' xmlns:fb='http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml' xmlns:og='http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Twitch</title>
<meta content='IE=edge,chrome=1' http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible'>
<meta content='app-id=460177396, app-argument=twitch://open' name='apple-itunes-app'>

<meta content='application/x-shockwave-flash' property='og:video:type'>
<meta content='378' property='og:video:height'>
<meta content='620' property='og:video:width'>

Namely, you need a "Pseudo-intelligent stream" located in this line:

<meta content='Псевдоинтеллектуальный стрим' property='og:description'>

I tried to parse in different ways, but it didn’t work, that is, the name simply wasn’t displayed.

Twitch has an API https://github.com/justintv/Twitch-API
It pulls out all the info about the streamer and the streamer in JSON format.
In essence:
"I tried to parse in different ways, but it didn't work, that is, the name simply wasn't displayed."
Should we guess the language and platform ourselves?

For example - how the search is pulled in python:

import lxml.html

data = """
ваш html код
"""

xmldata = lxml.html.document_fromstring(data)
print xmldata.xpath("//meta[@property='og:description']")[0].get('content')
