Embedding twitch channel and expectations

[BarryCarlyon]

It is telling us they are offline. Is there any way for us to poll the status, instead of being pounded with messages that all say offline?

Call the API instead of asking the embed.
Or listen for PLAYING
Or check if the player is playing or not.

You have 2 things listening to the event message which both console.log stuff. The Twitch embed triggers 1 message a second, that’s part of how the embed works. If you don’t want to see spam in the console you need to stop having event listeners for that same event spam messages to console.

You are binding/listening to an event that is not documented and as dist notes you are binding to listen to ALL events from iFrames. Rather than just the ones you are supposed to use.

So your code is capturing extra events than those it’s supposed to listen on.

The fault is in your code not the Embed.
