Hey guys,

I have noticed that when I stream on my hitbox channel the stream does not consistantly display on CoH2.org. It will randomly appear online and offline for the duration of a whole stream, despite my stream remaining consistantly live. It has occured on multiple streaming events (around 5 streaming sessions).

Has anyone else encountered this issue before or coding staff aware of the issue?

Damnit Stephen my boy stick with glorious Twitch. I want Stephen sub-emotes so badly.

-On a side note maybe try deleting your stream info and re-entering it on your profile?

Yeah. I've tried that multiple times but it doesn't fix the issue.

I have experienced the same issue.

Maybe this is something for Hicksi to look at?

Yes it is

I think it's when the stream API is unreachable. Their API is not so good at the moment and I'm unable to fetch more than one stream at once. I will look into it. I had some routine built in that makes a second fetch, if the first one failed. I removed it, because there was another bug in the script that had ininity loop in it. I will built it back in, in the next days

Your work as always is much appreciated.

Thank you

Hicksi boss

Nostalgia: hicksi's "coh broadcast" site is what started it all ("it" being coh2.org)

Issue still there? Didn't fix it, but it's nice to know how often it happens

I'll start testing hitbox again after my exams. I'll give you feedback after some streaming sessions.

Okay if it's not so worse I prefer to wait until they update their API.
I had a talk with a hitbox tv familiar, a few weeks ago, who told me there will probably in near future a update of their API.
