Hello o/

The error signifies the internal watch loop dying on a spade URL extraction step. Without a functional watch loop, no watch events will be sent to Twitch to advance the drops, and the only way to recover from this is to restart the application.

The error itself could be a one-off occurrence, so I'm more or less waiting for more reports first. For now, just restart to get it fixed.

in my particular case I always get the same error and deleting cookies.jar does not fix the error.

Alright, well, I'll look into the potential cause of this further.

I've looked into it, and I'm unable to reproduce this on my end. I've checked these three affected channels: "EXTREMEBREAKER1", "w0n23" and "LVTHalo", all of them resolving properly.

This may or may not be something Twitch is currently testing, and only a limited subset of users will be affected by. Either way, I'm unable to diagnose the issue for now.

@EmiMathesi Putting your cookies file into public internet gives anyone who takes it unlimited access to your Twitch account. Your account may have already been compromised, so I'd suggest you to quickly change your password, hopefully while you still can. I've removed the file link from your comment.

I've never asked, nor will use, anyone else's cookies file to diagnose the issue, because I definitely don't want to access somebody else's account, specifically from my own IP address and location. If I can't diagnose this issue now, then we all just need to wait until I'm able to. That's all.

I had a similar issue. I was able to work around it by changing the regex
r'src="(https://static\.twitchcdn\.net/config/settings\.[0-9a-f]{32}\.js)"'
to
r'src="(https://assets\.twitch\.tv/config/settings\.[0-9a-f]{32}\.js)"'

in channel.py since it seems the link changed at least for some users.

Interesting. I've implemented this finding in ab76491, please give it a try and see if it helped resolve this issue.

That worked for me.

I'm assuming this is fixed now then.
