twitch-indicator's Issues

No longer working (auth failure?)

This software worked in the past, but now when I try to authorize its use through twitch, nothing happens.

When I click "Authorize" I am directed to a URL (like https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=lp42a3ot0vosrva84upd4up077f6vd&state=JuRlKNBxIlD5OM1OFDSxHCbJ0qyMgk&redirect_uri=twitch-indicator-auth%3A%2F%2Fauthorize&scope=user%3Aread%3Afollows#)

but nothing comes of it, and the application won't actually launch

Twitch API ending

Please update this app to the new Twitch API. The Twitch V5 API will end February 28, 2022. Info about the V5 API shutdown is in the Twitch blog located here: https://blog.twitch.tv/de-de/2021/07/15/legacy-twitch-api-v5-shutdown-details-and-timeline/

This app is hanging while making call to Twitch

I use Manjaro-ARM XFCE in a Raspberry Pi 400. When I run the app is sends the call to Twitch but then stops and shows in dark gray Checking... and Live channels and doesn't change to show the live channels. This happened after I cleared out profile pics from the app's folder located in .cache. I know Twitch is currently up and running at the time of this post. Also, I have a browser extinction that does the same thing as your app, and it shows me the live channels, so I know Twitch hasn't blocked that functionality. Would you please fix this and update the app.

Issue opening menu to see live streams

I'm having an issue where menu doesn't pop up a list of live streams for me to select. I can see there are x number of streams live, but it doesn't pop up the list of live streams when I mouse over it. I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/twitch_indicator/indicator.py", line 77, in add_streams_menu
    if enabled_channel_ids[stream["id"]]:
KeyError: 22253819

I tried to poke around a bit, but it's been a while and I can't seem to get it to run directly from my cloned repo

I forgot to add:
Archlinux, python3.10

Do not work with libnotify 0.8

On Arch Linux with libnotify 0.8.0 and twitch-indicator 1.3:

Traceback (most recent call last):

No longer able to find streams

Recently Twitch Indicator has stopped finding any streams. It looks like its failing to load my user id

File "/usr/lib/python3.8/threading.py", line 932, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/threading.py", line 870, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/bin/twitch-indicator", line 329, in refresh_streams followed_channels = self.tw.fetch_followed_channels(self.USER_ID) File "/usr/bin/twitch-indicator", line 32, in fetch_followed_channels base_uri = TWITCH_API_URL + 'users/follows?from_id=' + user_id TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "HTTPError") to str

Not launching on Manjaro-ARM XFCE

I use Manjaro-ARM XFCE on a Raspberry Pi 400. I just received the indicator that you have an update of your app ready. I quit out of the app and ran the updated. When I tried to launch it again, nothing happened. I then added it to the desktop and tried to launch it with the same results. I then tried rebuilding it and launching it and nothing. I did a restart of my Pi and tried to launch it and nothing happened. Previously, before the update, I had added it to my auto start so it would launch at startup of my Pi. I removed it from auto start then deleted it and restarted my Pi then reinstalled it. I went to launch it and nothing happened. What is going on with it? Please fix it so I can use it again. It is a very valuable tool for me.

Problems with instalation

Deprecated API has made this tool not work anymore

Any chance of an update or is this project unsupported?

Gives error 410 (Gone) as of today.

Possibly, Twitch removed the functionality or changed something? Or do I need to reauthorise somehow, perhaps?

Edit: I'm on 1.5-1, whereas AUR reports 1.6-1 as newest. I'mma try after updating and report back or close the issue.

Live channel icons are huge

I don't know if it's intended, but now when I open the indicator to see live streams the icons are huge:

The rest is fine, it only stranges me because it didn't used to work like that lol

Let the user disable notifications for single streams

Currently the app shows notifications for all followed streams. Add the opportunity to limit the channels for which notifications are shown using a checkbox list.
