Can anyone help me?
I have noticed when receiving whispers over IRC clients, the whisper is only received if the whisper is sent to a user in all lowercase like /w user message. If it is sent like /w User message the whisper is not received in the IRC client. Is this something I could change in my coding?
In Twitch chat the auto-complete tab function automatically capitalizes the first letter of a username which makes this a pain.
I have had some issues receiving whispers over my IRC client.
I am running 2 instances, one connected to irc.twitch.tv (port 6667) and connected to my main channel, and then I have a 2nd instance connected to irc.chat.twitch.tv (port 80) and connected to a group chat I made specifically for running the bot.
The bot has been able to send whispers on both servers using /raw PRIVMSG #jtv :/w [name] [message].
I have sent /raw CAP REQ :twitch.tv/commands on both instances, both in the status window and in the chat window, and I have whispered it both from myself and from people I requested to whisper it, and nothing ever shows up. It’s able to read the group chat fine, and it’s able to get commands such as HOSTTARGET and ROOMSTATE fine, but it never detects any whispers.
Thanks the all lowercase name may be my issue. Will have to check my code. Can anyone confirm that PRIVMSG #jtv :/w is still the correct syntax or was this changed maybe?
Yep. Sending whispers is still the same format 
Tested with my bot
Just remember to send it as a raw message and not a IRC chat response
