"No streams found" on any active channel

[Anubis169]

As of approximately 1h prior to this post (so around 10pm-ish GMT), livestreamer doesn't seem to be connecting to any twitch streams.
I did a test on several random channels to make sure that it wasn't just me, using v1.11 and 1.10

C:\Users\HEART>livestreamer twitch.tv/pansy best
[cli][info] Found matching plugin twitch for URL twitch.tv/pansy
error: No streams found on this URL: twitch.tv/pansy

^ the above was performed while twitch user 'pansy' was currently streaming

It's being worked on right now. #633

[Anubis169]

ah, thank you very much :)

[circlesquaredd]

VODs work but not any live streams

Wheres the update :( I wanted to record something tonight :( Maybe you should change how the api/plugins work. Put them in plain text files and not compiled python files. That way someone could change the plugins immediately and doesnt have to wait for a compiled version. Or even better, include an push service or auto updater, which downloads newest plugin files.

[VinylNix]

Same problem here. Using the 1.11 version.

[ManChicken1911]

You don't need to wait for it makedir, just download the twitch.py from github, put it in your plugins directory, and remove the .pyc version.

Great that works. Issue fixed by getting twitch.py from dev branch. Thanks!

i copied the new file and deleted the old one, but i get the same error
anyone an idea?
using win7 and the 1.11version

[astro013]

@Dxtrose did you download the file from the devbuild named twitch.py from the url: https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/tree/develop/src/livestreamer/plugins
and copy it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Livestreamer\livestreamer-1.11.0-py2.7.egg\livestreamer\plugins and then deleted twitch.pyc from the same folder?
If so try uninstalling and reinstalling and then repeating the above

[makedir]

Thanks again I was able to fix it before. Anyway, livestreamer needs a push service for plugin updates, downloading plugin files automatically. Those plugin files are the heart of the tool and mostly contain 99% of the changes, so you dont need a whole new install update every time.

Hey everyone, I followed the steps laid out by astro013, but received a syntax error in cmd. This was what that showed up:
C:\Users\username>livestreamer http://www.twitch.tv/dotastarladder_en high
Failed to load plugin twitch:
File "c:\program files\livestreamer\livestreamer-1.11.0-py2.7.egg\livestreamer
\plugins\twitch.py", line 5

^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

error: No plugin can handle URL: http://www.twitch.tv/dotastarladder_en

Does anyone know what the problem and fix is? I'd appreciate the help! Thanks!

@xlls

manually copy/paste the contents on the "twitch.py" page into the "twitch.py" file you downloaded - right-clicking and "saving" the link gave me the same error you have

[smiller333]

I am using the python module version of livestreamer in my application, not the CLI. Is there any information on when the module will be updated? I currently can not retrieve any Twitch streams using version 11.0 of the module.

[shaunh68]

Thanks for the update and the tut works flawlessly now.

[Tosicxx]

Thanks everyone for explaining how to fix this and big thanks to the developers.
It worked like SynRips said. Once you have file downloaded, manually edit via notepad and copy/paste raw data from the website linked above, astro013 comment. Version is 1.11.0

[noviceg]

ok, after following this step everthing works fine

A dirty fix for those on Windows:
Download the zip and unzip: https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer
Copy the two folders from \livestreamer-develop\src and paste them where your livestream is installed, into livestreamer-1.11.0-py2.7.egg directory.

thx 4 instructions.

Hello guys. Even when i copied the raw from "twitch.py" and pasted it in the existant "twitch.py" on my pc, i still get the same error
"C:\Users\Admin>livestreamer http://www.twitch.tv/lirik source
Failed to load plugin twitch:
ImportError: Bad magic number in c:\program files (x86)\livestreamer\livestreame
r-1.11.0-py2.7.egg\livestreamer\plugins\twitch.pyc

error: No plugin can handle URL: http://www.twitch.tv/lirik"

Thx for the help !

[VackerSimon]

The easiest way is to just download the update but it looks like you didn't delete twitch.pyc, notice the C at the end.

[VackerSimon]

https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/releases/tag/v1.11.1

[rustygg]

Thank you very much my friend ! Working and #OP .. GG !

[noviceg]

great job

[Dxtrose]

i have uninstalled everything and installed the new version 1.11.1, but i still get the same error for twitch streams. My config is the default one, have not changed anything.

[Dxtrose]

its working now... had an older version installed somewhere. After deleting, everything just works fine.
Thanks for the help!
