Chat stopped showing messages about multistreamer

[jprjr]

Found the real error - Twitch IRC sends attributes along with messages, one of which is "display-name"

In the past, I've seen them send an empty "display-name" attribute before, so I'd check if it was empty. It looks like they'll also sometimes just not send the attribute at all, which was the bug - I assumed the attribute would always be there.

New update will try to use the display-name attribute, but fallback to the IRC nick if it's missing or empty.

Yeah, I've had that happen a few times myself. I've stepped up the logging on my main instance so I can try catching it next time it happens. It seems like I just get disconnected from Twitch IRC

[jprjr]

Just pushed 11.3.3 with some changes that should hopefully keep Twitch chat running.

It uses SSL instead of plain-text IRC now, this should prevent the stream from being mucked with by firewalls etc. If it gets disconnected, it keeps trying to reconnect instead of attempting to reconnect once.

Was just going to update. Going to wait for this new update.

Pushed up a new release - 11.4.2 with a fix. Building Docker images now

[Llorx]

Tested docker build 11.4.2-1 and happened again :-/ Stopped receiving Twitch chat messages.

Where can I get the logs to see what is happening?

[jprjr]

If you docker exec into your image, you can get to /var/log/multistreamer - all the logs are in there. There's a current file, along with other files that end in .s

I forget the exact syntax off the top of my head, but if you run docker ps to see a list of images, there should be one with multistreamer in the name - grab the name of that image, then:

docker exec -ti (image name) /bin/bash
ls -lh /var/log/multistreamer

You can just cat them, or install ssh and scp them to another box, etc.

I'll change the default docker-compose file to mount the logs as a volume - then you'd be able to just get to them from your box instead of running docker-exec

Hey hey, I had this same error happen to me just now, when somebody hosted my stream - the IRC message came in like:

Apr 11 21:06:36 stream multistreamer[425]: 2018/04/11 21:06:36 [debug] 603#0: *5 [lua] client.lua:40: log_parse_line(): [IRC] :[email protected]
v PRIVMSG gamethattune :Equitem87 is now hosting you.
Apr 11 21:06:36 stream multistreamer[425]: 2018/04/11 21:06:36 [error] 603#0: *5 lua user thread aborted: runtime error: /opt/multistreamer/lib/multist
reamer/networks/twitch.lua:559: attempt to concatenate local 'userid' (a nil value)

So basically, I can't assume I have any of the tags on IRC messages. I'll get this fixed shortly!
