better 'Watch Streak' strategy in priority system

[testdev123456]

I opened this suggestion in the original project, but didn't get a single comment.. so... here it goes...

Since a Watch Streak gives 450 points by viewing only (five?) minutes of a stream, I would modify the priority system to 'forget' priorities for a minute and switch to the newest live stream until collects the 450 points, then resume normally watching the top priority live stream. I think it makes sense giving up just 10 points (5 minutes) of a top streamer in order to grab the 450 points of my 3rd or 4th ranked live stream.

I don't know much about coding... but there should be a variable that remembers if I recently got the 450 from that streamer.. if so, there will be no 'switch' to that new stream (maybe it's a streamer with bad connection or connects many times a day).. Also, if we switch to grab the 450... and after 5... 6 minutes nothing happens.... abort and go back to watch the highest priority. Sometimes that 450 bonus fails to be awarded for some reason..

thanks for reading !

Hi! I've already read this issue on the original repository and I think It's a good idea! :smile: This feature is a little tricky compared to the other issues, I think I'll do in a separate branch for don't break anything in the master branch :laughing:

From: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/channel-points-guide?language=en_US

Viewers receive points for returning for x consecutive streams. Each stream must be at least 10 minutes long and it must have been at least 30 minutes since the last stream ended.

working great so far !

Does it also remember the time a streamer went offline to then compare it to the time that went back online and check if passed more than 30 minutes? ( because we are enabled to get another 'watch streak' bonus )

Really? :rofl: I haven't already tested as well..

Mhh yes, should working! https://github.com/Tkd-Alex/Twitch-Channel-Points-Miner-v2/blob/ee0882dcf49a571f9cbb59c512e3229e40eb1540/TwitchChannelPointsMiner/classes/Twitch.py#L206-L213

The conditions for change priority are:

• watch_streak_missing at true
• never registered the offline time or at least 30 minutes
• we should watch al least 5 minutes (for get the +10)

under this new branch the Raids are broken. Working fine in master branch.
