Twitch Lurker

Regardless of the stream volume when i close the stream, the lurker extension 100% of the time launched it with the stream mute, which like the original poster states muted streams do not count as views.. (I do not have tabs muted.)

Sorry for the very late response. Chrome doesn't notify me of these for whatever reason.

Anyway, this is partly to do with Twitch and partly the extension. In general, when a Twitch stream gets opened, it will be muted/unmuted depending on whether you had the most recent stream muted/unmuted. Twitch just saves that preference of yours whenever you mute/unmute a stream, and then the next stream that gets opened will behave the same way. To ensure the stream is unmuted, you can make sure that you don't mute the Twitch player yourself on other streams.

Regardless, the extension does try to unmute the stream if possible, but sometimes it is impossible. E.g. I believe that the browser will prevent the stream from being unmuted if you have not interacted with the page at all. Basically if you don't click anything on the page, the browser prevents audio from playing, since that is often abused by pop up sites and malicious ads. You can try to avoid this by having the streams open as active windows (instead of in the background). This is a preference in the extension.

I'm having the same issue. Not only the tab is muted (that is supposed to happen) but the stream is muted as well

Thanks for the suggestions. These have been added to the issues list on GitHub. I'll try to include some of them when I work on the extension.

I believe I responded to you about this in an email, but I just saw this support request now. I will be looking into this when I migrate the extension to manifest V3 within the next few weeks.

Sorry for the late response. No, it will not work while your computer is asleep.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here, because the extension does not mute the player. The only thing that the extension does is mute the tab, and it tries to unmute the player (never mute). Did I misunderstand something or does that clear it up?

I know this is from a long time ago, but I believe I fixed this issue in the upcoming release of version 2.0.3. Feel free to give it a try.

I can try to help, but I need more details. If you would like help, create an issue on https://github.com/mikeyaworski/Twitch-Lurker/issues

Just fixed this issue in the latest update, version 1.1.0

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd be worried about this extension receiving a C&D from Twitch if that were to be done.
