Adding stream containing special characters

[awerskto]

How can I add a stream that contains special characters in its nickname like: #! I get the message: Nonexistent user

Normally this should be possible with quoting or escaping:

python3 Controller.py add "usernmae#!"

or

python3 Ctonroller.py add username\#\!

Can see login in status but nothing downloads stream

Please try this as the username:

-costa-rica-%23%21

I guess the problem is line 22 in the bongacams.py file. Here a URL-encoded string is concatinated. But the part which is added with concatination isn't URL encoded. I guess the requests module doesn't sanitize this and so the request gets wrong.

This might lead to other problems. So this is a really dirty fix. Otherwhise patch the bongcams.py file by simply use urllib to encode the string before.

This is a rather bigger problem

Yes.....

That's because the logging explodes because of the % sign. That's related to string formatting which is a chaos in the code. Just cleanup your config.json and start the Downlaoder again.

It seems that they don't url encode this here. I thought they do this because they URL encode much really dirty stuff. But it seems they just cut away stuff. Also possible that the account got renamed or so I don't know.

So you should be able to add this model with:

add -Costa-rica- BC

When you check the request which gets send on the model page it uses this.

It seems they simply throw away the #! and always cast up a few characters. I guess -costa-rica- in the add command would also work. I guess there is a JavaScript function which does this. So to sanitize stuff like this the behaviour of this function would be needed to reproduced in the StreaMonitor code.

As a hint (I saw this as I closed all my test tabs):

It seems that the real username which will always work is shown in the tab title. So in case of bongacams don't use the string behind the / in the URL instead use the username of the tab (which is in the

Thank you very much for your help!
