Do I need to keep the channels open in order to track progress? Example I have an active campaign but the % stays the same 70% of 240 minutes... even if I click refresh after 1 minute or 15 minutes..

Also, It shows as X Not linked but my twitch account is linked.

Hi, in my experience the progress should update as normal, as if you were watching the stream yourself.

Are you using the latest development version? The Twitch API changes occasionally which breaks old versions, the latest updates to the repo should work right now. The latest release version is not functional to my knowledge.

Hello @AlexBarlas,

Please ensure you're using the latest development version of the miner. The latest release version isn't supported anymore, and some of the older dev versions won't progress the campaigns properly, and instead cause exactly what you're reporting. The issue was fixed by this commit: https://github.com/DevilXD/TwitchDropsMiner/commit/bb51bf740070d867d7973fbe6c014b347b349064. Let me know if the latest version solves your issue.

Hi @DevilXD, It was working fine yesterday and today my windows defender decided it doesn't like the app due to a virus and deleted the .exe file and I can't download it again either (chrome blocks the download with a "virus found" label).. I tried downloading the dev-build and building the .exe myself but I'm being hit with a "No module named 'yarl' found" when I run build.dat and pip install yarl yields a "Could not build wheels for multidict

Hey @AlexBarlas you can add an exclusion for the app in your windows defender, you can read move about how here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26

1. Don't use Windows Defender as your antivirus - I can recommend ESET myself, but even BitDefender is smarter than that.
2. If you absolutely have to stick with Windows Defender, add it as a scanning exception.

build.bat won't work without the virtual environment setup first - for that, use the setup_env.bat before building. If you'd be running into permission errors, running the scripts as Administrator may help. Alternatively, you can follow the manual instructions as well.

If you'd mess up the venv setup, or somehow still get errors about missing modules, remember than you can always delete the env folder and recreate it by running setup_env.bat again.

Are you still having issues running the miner? If not, this issue can be closed I guess.
