Subscriber emotes from some channels don't show when I'm the one using them

[LukyLurks]

Describe the bug:

• Emotes from 2 of the 3 channels I am subscribed to remain in text form when I send them, and can't be found in the Alt+e menu.
• Emotes from these 2 channels show correctly when sent by other people.
• Emotes from these 2 channels show correctly in twitch-tui, when I send them through the twitch.tv chat (see screenshot)

To Reproduce: I don't have reliable steps since it's my specific situation. The best I can suggest is:

1. Be subscribed to at least 2 channels.
2. Attempt to send messages containing the related subscriber emotes: emotes from one channel may remain in text form when sent.
3. Attempt to find the subscriber emotes in the popup menu: emotes from one channel may not be found.

Expected behavior:

• I expect emotes to display as images when sent, and to show up in the popup menu when searched.

Screenshots:

System:

• Twitch-tui version: 2.6.11

• Operating System: Linux 6.9.5-arch1-1

• Terminal: kitty 0.35.1

• Shell: bash 5.2.26(1)-release

• config.toml:

  
  [twitch]
  username = "Luky75"
  channel = "luky75"
  server = "irc.chat.twitch.tv"
  token = "redacted"

[terminal] delay = 30 maximum_messages = 500 verbose = false first_state = "Dashboard"

[storage] channels = false mentions = false

[filters] enabled = false reversed = false

[frontend] show_datetimes = true datetime_format = "%T" username_shown = true palette = "pastel" title_shown = true margin = 0 badges = true theme = "dark" username_highlight = true state_tabs = false cursor_shape = "user" blinking_cursor = true inverted_scrolling = false show_scroll_offset = false twitch_emotes = true betterttv_emotes = true seventv_emotes = false frankerfacez_emotes = true favorite_channels = [] recent_channel_count = 5 border_type = "plain" hide_chat_border = true right_align_usernames = false show_unsupported_screen_size = true

**Additional context:**
- If this issue is hard to diagnose on your own because you're not subscribed to multiple channels, feel free to ask me to do "technical" stuff. I don't know much about Rust, therefore I'd be happy to have an excuse to get into it.

Hello, and thanks for the issue! Before actual diagnosis of code or anything, how did you generate your token?

edit: Oops, I see that you're the same author as #611. I don't think additional scopes are needed, so you did generate your token properly.

[Xithrius]

Might be an issue between the current and previous minor versions of twitch-tui. Could you remove the cache located at ~/.cache/twt? 2.6.11 requires a cleared cache for subscriber emotes to work properly.

[LukyLurks]

I actually generated a different token since. When I noticed the issue I am describing here, I suspected that https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ wasn't giving me enough scopes, so I generated another one with https://twitchtokengenerator.com instead, with the following scopes: chat:edit, chat:read, user:read:chat, user:read:emotes, user:read:follows, user:read:subscriptions, user:write:chat. This is the token used for this bug report, and that I currently use in my config. I also made sure $TWT_TOKEN wasn't set to some old token (it is unset).

Could you remove the cache located at ~/.cache/twt? 2.6.11 requires a cleared cache for subscriber emotes to work properly.

I quit twt, did rm -r ~/.cache/twt/, started twt, and tried to send dekillKermit and search it in the popup menu: the issue persists.

Alright, looks like I'll have to dig deeper then.

[Xithrius]

@Nogesma I think #591 might be the cause of this problem, but I'm not 100% sure. If you could give any insight, I'd very much appreciate it.

Besides that, @LukyLurks have you tried other recent versions, such as 2.6.10?

[LukyLurks]

• with 2.6.12: seemingly the same behavior as with 2.6.11 except I didn't check what happens when others send subscriber emotes (let me know if you'd like me to check).
• with 2.6.10: subscriber emotes always show as text in twitch-tui when I send them, even when I send them from twitch.tv. Again I didn't check what happens when other people send them.

[Xithrius]

Could you do the check for seeing what happens when others send subscriber emotes? Thanks.

[Xithrius]

I also noticed in your config that you have seventv_emotes set to false. I'm not certain that this would fix your issue, but have you tried setting it to true?

[Nogesma]

Before 2.6.11 there wasn't any checks for if users actually could send those emotes, so twt displayed subscriber emotes from the current channel for everyone. I'll try to see if I'm using the wrong api to get subscriber emotes. I'll let you know if I need any more info figuring that one out.

[Nogesma]

I just pushed a draft PR with what I think fixes it, could you please try it?

[LukyLurks]

@Nogesma It seems to be working. The emotes appear in the popup search, and they show correctly when I send them. When other people send subscriber emotes (both from the current channel and different channels) it shows correctly too.

@Xithrius

• Toggling seventv_emotes seemingly did nothing with versions 2.6.10, 2.6.11, 2.6.12, Nogesma's PR #616.
• Regarding other people sending subscriber emotes: with 2.6.10 if the emotes are from the current channel they show correctly, and if they're from a different channel they don't. 2.6.12 behaves like 2.6.11.

Thank you both!

[Xithrius]

Thank you so much for going through each version for testing. I'll be testing the PR myself later today, and if all is good then I'll do a release as soon as I can once it's merged.

Fix available in https://github.com/Xithrius/twitch-tui/releases/tag/v2.6.13

Thank you @LukyLurks for the issue, and @Nogesma for the fix!
