DLive not functional. #90

Closed filcard closed 1 year ago

filcard commented 1 year ago

Just an FYI that DLive doesn't seem to work, or if it does, it is sporadic. I haven't successfully had it work in all my tries. Perhaps you are unaware, but they redid their site a few months ago, bringing back the chest. What this means is that the popout chat has a random string of characters in the url, and the chat can't be popped out until after the stream has started. The random string is different for each stream, I believe.

I multi-stream on 5 platforms, and all the others work like a charm! Great work on this plugin.

I wasn't able to reproduce any problem with Dlive, but I added some code to try to "keep alive" the chat if the pop out chat gets minimized.

https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream/commit/f2c40edc41fd8847df29f91db539518e74a3b0e9#diff-8f88c0451d68e9466cdd0e090f5bc41d6d35cfb2f7413d9158087d102123a13f

I've also added the option to auto pop out dlive to the menu; from quickly testing, that random code doesn't matter much? Anyways, if you find it works or doesn't work for you, let me know:

Oh weird. Thanks for looking into it. I'll try again later today. Not sure why DLive never works for me.

steveseguin commented 1 year ago

If you have any extensions installed that modify the chat, or some non-default settings for the chat, let me know and I'll test with those too

Final follow-up is that no matter what I try, DLive won't load in like the other platforms for me. Odd that you can't repeat it, but no worries. I used to do web development too and know how challenges in repeating "bugs" or user experiences can be. As far as I know I'm not using any transformative browser plugins. I updated to the latest version and tried the chat pop-up feature for DLive that you added - a cool addition - but that also won't load its chat messages into Social Stream for me. However, as I was boasting for you during my stream - reading the giant list of supported platforms of Social Stream - one of my genius streaming friends suggested loading DLive chat into restream.io, and loading that into Social Stream indirectly. His idea worked, so my particular dilemma is mostly solved. It doesn't look as nice as it could if working directly, with the DLive logo and avatars, but it works. One less chat window to keep visible to monitor. Probably no point to dig further unless others report the same issue. Thanks.
