Twitch Kraken (v5) API is now dead, breaking Twitch Now until it is updated to the new API

[nthnwllms]

😥 Sad days 🪦

Back up, but not indefinitely:

v5 shutdown timeline Given the number of v5 migrations, we wanted to ensure that you have sufficient time to update your applications and that we are reaching developers as soon as possible. A phased shutdown of v5 will begin in February 2022. Here are the shutdown windows:

February 7, 2022 – 1-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT February 9, 2022 – 2-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT February 14, 2022 – 4-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT February 16, 2022 – 6-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT February 21, 2022 – 24-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT February 28, 2022 – v5 permanent shutdown

Helix api break many things here. Extension require deep rework. I think many feautures after rework just will be removed. New helix api dont have many of what old apis had.

Hopefully some kind of continuation happens. I looked at another extension that has moved to the new API and I can't say I liked its design nearly as much (no thumbnail, have to mouseover names to get descriptions etc.)

Probably this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twitch-live/iiljidcefnbhbpamageahhblhbbhhopm

[TheKins]

I was referring to this one. If you know anything better (or on par with Twitch Now), please let me know.

[tobim91]

You seem to talk about a chrome alternative or does it have a firefox version too?

[soumya997]

it was working correctly until today, when will it be fixed?

[ghost]

@TheKins you should check this out Twitch Live Extension

but why?. look https://github.com/Ndragomirov/twitch-now/pull/267 its already fixed and working.

[soumya997]

I was having some issues with that extension at that time, and refreshing did not help. I thought twitch now is again down. I was looking for an alternative and found that. I will delete the comment. twitch now is workin pretty well now.

I'm missing something? Here when i try to log in with twitch, only a page with "Hello!" is returned and the login process doesn't complete.

Yep...no idea what the point of this is if you can't login :/

I'm missing something? Here when i try to log in with twitch, only a page with "Hello!" is returned and the login process doesn't complete.

I'm on Edge Chromium and I ran into the same issue. It turns out that the object changeInfo returned by the tabs.onUpdated event does not contain the URL information. As the result, injectScript fails to inject to the updated tab and thus the access token cannot be stored to Twitch Now. I don't know exactly the root cause of why changeInfo.url is undefined. Currently, I use tabs.get as a workaround to get the URL.

    // oauth2.js
    _browser.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId, changeInfo) {
      _browser.tabs.get(tabId, (tab) => {
        if (tab.url && tab.url.indexOf(injectTo) != -1) {
          console.log("\nExecuting scripts");
          _browser.tabs.executeScript(tabId, { code: injectScript });
        }
      });
    })

        }
      });
    })

For anyone wondering how to run this workaround. You need to edit the oauth2.js file in the common/lib folder. Search the original onUpdated function and replace it with this. Then refresh the extension and login. This worked for me personally.

Hi, I am a newbie to coding, so I don't know anything about it that all of you guys wrote down. But I would be very grateful if someone could tell me if the extension will be working again as soon as before ?
