I am using Nightbot, Songrequest and Spotify for a while now. I’ve imported ~5000 tracks into the Nightbot. Everything works very smooth, people can wish songs with names or links… no complains here, very nice.
My only problem is: Nightbot/Songrequest often stops working. For whatever reason, I can listen to music for different time amounts, but at some point Nightbot will stop playing. Sometimes after a couple of minutes, sometimes hours. Then I have to tab out of my game, go into Nightbot, press Play/Pause/Skip a couple times until it works again, but it’s quite annoying. Any idea why this could be the case?
On another note: Is there any way of rewarding viewers for watching my stream, like the Ankhbot does, where you can collect force and use it to rob a bank, play sounds or whatever.
Make sure you’re not minimizing or using the AutoDJ in a background tab, as Chrome/Firefox will pause playback when in the background. Otherwise there is likely an error happening during playback which is causing it to stop.
As for a loyalty system, one likely won’t be added to Nightbot anytime soon, if ever. It’s not something I’m passionate about adding (they seem like gimmicks to me) and it’s a lot of work to build and maintain.
I am using the NightBot app/program. But it’s mostly in the background, cause I have always Twitchchat in the front. But it’s not stopping “all of a sudden”, when I focus on Twitchchat, just after a while, so I doubt it’s because it’s in the background.
Okay, I get that. I am just looking for a way of rewarding loyal viewers. Is there a summary of the “things you can do” with Nightbot somewhere? Maybe I am not using all the features yet.
This might be the problem then. When Chrome (which the app is based on) assumes it’s in the background it will stop playing audio. This is a Chrome “feature” and is not something we have control over.
All of Nightbot’s commands are documented over at https://docs.nightbot.tv/ We don’t offer more than what you see at this time.
