Cobroadcasters information #104

Closed DonPepeSun closed 4 years ago

DonPepeSun commented 4 years ago

Any chance the "cobroadcasters" information is updated in the json files while pyinsta is recording?

for now, pyinsta only gets the information at startup

I created my own version of the mechanism that preserves guests accounts regardless of the time of their connection, but I am not sure that I used the correct approach in the case of IG, which can lead to temporary or permanent blocking of the account, because I have not found a way to get the names of guests at the time of their appearance instead there are constant checks for the presence of a new connection, which can be perceived by the IG protection system as an attempt to spam so that for the correct implementation of this function, information about how this mechanism is implemented is needed.

This improvement won't be implemented because with the current state of the API dependency (which has been abandoned) the only way seems to be making additional requests about the livestream status resulting in the problems described above
