I have received this error in the past and it used to go away and the stream would start. Now, it counts down to 5 seconds and then freezes...any clue why?

I just tested the package and it seems to be working fine. Could you please tell me what website you are using? I also don't recognize the URL in the screenshot.

I noticed the same thing, i was just trying to test it on a random twitch stream to get a script working. my error code at the bottom (Assuming its an error code) was 26

can't tell if it's some kind of rate limiting or if it actually blocks for that stream

i tried a different channel and i was able to get screengrabs of the new one

i suspect it doesnt actually have anything to do with this library though? still curious how to avoid

i'm no expert in m3u8, but that is a way for twitch to block packages like this.

that number at the bottom right is the timer until it would go away if you were streaming the m3u8 playlist. i ran this script a couple times on a livestream and finally got the same result.

for the very specific project i'm playing with, a solution would be to delay it 30 seconds to bypass this behavior, but i have no idea how to add an "offset" with this package to trick twitch into thinking i'm waiting the 30 seconds.

Tardsplaya doesn't have this issue.
