Came to report the exact same issue. I think the app keeps some cache data somewhere, I'll try clearing that too.

i think twitch changed something

Twitch Drops were simply down. Restart your bots, and it should work again.

yep u are right , its back now

[JonJaded]

Could it be feasable to add a catch for whenever this occurs? ANd then a retry timer in like... say every 5 minutes?

EDIT: Also could, would it be possible to add a switch that makes the app close itself on error? Don't think I would've known if I hadn't been tinkering with the settings.

Hello. "Service error" means the service is temporarily down, and there isn't much I can do about it. Handling such an error isn't as simple as retrying the request, as downtimes usually last longer than mere seconds, or even minutes. The miner's internal logic isn't prepared to just "go idle" and recheck every so often. Such a functionality would require a dynamic timeouts system, instead of the current static one.

This seems as one of the things that #220 should take care of, but that puts it into a far future. For now, the solution is to just verify the drops system is available again, and then restart the miner manually.

Excuse me. How do I restart? I restarted my computer and the drops miner, but the page is still empty.

[DevilXD]

@epsgerry02 I think you've misunderstood. The error means that the Twitch website itself is having server issues, and there's nothing you can do on your side to help it, other than waiting and checking https://www.twitch.tv/drops/inventory every so often, to see if the list of drops you've claimed loads again. If it does, and does so reliably (don't rely on the page loading correctly only once, refresh 2-3 times to be sure), then restarting the miner will "fix" the issue. Restarting it before that won't help.

Doesn't work for me... v16.dev.1e31957

Just as a note here, this will keep happening, until there are steps taken to mitigate it. There's no value in having this reported 5 times to me, if the reason is already know, and a fix idea already planned. The only thing that'd help me now, is having enough time to sit down to this properly, which I don't have now.

For now, as mentioned higher up here, use these as mitigation steps: https://github.com/DevilXD/TwitchDropsMiner/issues/347#issuecomment-1790384525

[DevilXD]

I was able to reproduce this issue on my end. Based on the findings, it seems to be caused not only by server instabilities, but also by a new directive from here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/mission-based-drops?language=en_US#claiming

If you are unable to claim the Drop in time, you will be able to claim it from the Drops Inventory page until 24 hours after the Drops campaign has ended.

https://github.com/DevilXD/TwitchDropsMiner/commit/21ad099696ad1ebe8ea67726e9556473cf7b4d18 attempts to take this information into account, so you should see less "service error" crashes in the latest development build.

[DevilXD]

Since no more reports are present, I think I can close this one now.
