Open yattyatt opened 3 years ago
The chat only provides information about hosts, although raids end in a host, so it might be possible. However, are you saying you want to join the channel in addition to the current one? That could lead to a lot of channels being open. Or are you saying leave the current channel and join the hosted one?
Thanks for explaining what's possible. For me, I'd want to leave the current channel and move to the hosted one.
currently when hosting/raiding the last line
is now hosting x _join_
shows up
you can just click join now and it opens that user's channel
also yes i agree, automatic opening a new channel tab could lead to intensive RAM usage etc. i prefer it to be manual or if you do add an optional feature, make sure we can disable it.
I think the feature that arrowgent mentioned is new since I posted this. I agree this is better than automatically following the raid.
I use chatty (as well as my other uses for it,) for logging comers and goers in raid trains... It would actually be really helpful if the feature to auto move from one channel to another on raids existed. Then, I wouldn't have to be up to monitor the streams as it moved from one streamer to another. (An unnamed community group that arranges raid trains where you are raided into an hour before you finish your stream, but must participate as a viewer if you wish to be eligible next time. We currently have to screenshot the "viewers in chat" list to monitor the channels.)
It seems as if, now that hosts are gone, Chatty doesn't know which stream a broadcaster has raided, so it doesn't even switch the stream to the raid target; I suspect that the issue raised by @tduva is still ultimately why this happens.
With the new EventSub API it may be possible to know about outgoing raids again, but only for at most 10 channels at a time. This will replace the host message with the join link soon.
Does this mean that Chatty would have to determine which 10 channels (if you have more than 10 tabs) to monitor, or just that you can't catch all of the raids if more than 10 channels raid at the same time?
10 channels can be monitored at a time, in the other channels you won't know if a raid is happening.
Would it be better to just monitor the 10 most-recently (or least-recently) opened tabs, or to allow the user to specify which tabs to monitor?
This is definitely an edge case, because it's rare for people to have more than 10 tabs open or to even have more than 10 followed users simultaneously live.
Is it possible to have Chatty tell Streamlink to switch the feed to the raid target? It seems as if Strealink once handled hosts internally, but it does not handle the new host-less implementation of raids, and it does not seem likely to do so.
I notice that when I'm watching a stream that raids another channel, that Chatty stays in the original channel. Is it possible (or if not, could the feature be added) to automatically join the raided channel?
Thanks :)
