Streams are not automatically updated periodically.

Streams are not automatically updated periodically.
Manually pressing refresh does update them.

That CORS error seems bad (and an issue on Twitch's side). However that's for the channels you follow and not the stream states.

I'll have to check that the error doesn't break the queuing system though (it shouldn't, that's built to pass on the errors to whoever queued the request).

Apart from that everything seems fine and I haven't seen anything similar on my side (I have the extension running at least 8h a day with about 50 channels).

Full console log for this session:
livestream_log.txt

And heres what it looks like for me (both screenshots taken in the span of under a minute)
before manually refreshing:

after manually refreshing:

[freaktechnik]

So that log shows the requests also failing for other endpoints. Great.

Do you have something that could be filtering your network traffic or modifying it?
Optimally you'd get the HAR from the network panel in the debugging tools (about:debugging).

I have yet to check if there's something on the extension side I can do to improve how it handles these requests failing.

[Dutchs]

other then my AV webshield, not that im aware (and there is no mention of it blocking the requests in its logs)

I am seeing a difference in the requests made automatically vs manually but i can't say im familiar enough with the API to spot if something is wrong there

These requests are made when it periodically (automatically) does a refresh:

And these are made when i hit the "refresh the live statuses of all channels" button

[freaktechnik]

The periodical ones are clearly missing the actual stream checks that you see in the seconds one. These logs also aren't matching what is logged to the browser console (the CORS errors, since those are network erros).

[Dutchs]

yep these are from just now, as the network tab does not retroactively store the made requests, ill check if it throws any errors in the console when the next periodic refresh is made~

EDIT:
there is no console output that accompanies these periodic requests.

[Dutchs]

As a update;
Over the course of days i had no more Cross-Origin Request Blocked and network errors so those logs might have been a fluke.
It kept up the same symptoms though and failed to update periodically.

After removal and reinstall of the addon all symptoms seem to have disappeared and its back to normal, not sure what the root cause was here.
