Embedding twitch channel and expectations

[BarryCarlyon]

Our goal is to reduce the number of messages we are receiving.

You shouldn’t be listening to this message in the first place.

It’s not a bug or problem to be fixed. It’s just how the embed works.

@Michael_Glenn_Willia

Does the embed have a way for us to destroy it? We could just recreate it periodically then.

document.getElementById(‘theplayer’).textContent = ‘’;

or change channels Twice.

An embed should also start playing when the stream goes live. So you can listen for the PLAYING event.

@Michael_Glenn_Willia

The problem is that we keep getting the messages regardless of when we listen for Playing.

You are bound wrong.

See Twitch Embed example

  player.addEventListener(Twitch.Embed.VIDEO_PLAY, function() {
    log('The video is playing');
  })

Or bind to for Twitch.Player.ONLINE

Will report when a video is playing (ie the stream is live)

You are bound to every message the embed sends instead of a specific player event. Hence the “spam” in your console. As your logic is wrong.
