Hey guys, i have the following situation:
i connect (with a java lib) into the twitch chat and have no problems.
after a few minutes i dont get any incomming message. the bot is always connectet to twitch and can send messages into the chat (al other can see it) but all messages from other (public chat or whisper) dont get to the bot.
have you any idea? 
Are you sure that the incoming message thread is still running? Something might cause the incoming thread to stop (exceptions it the similar) while the sending thread is still running.
What library are you using?
iām not sureā¦ i debug all possible on-method for messages of the lib but dont get anything 
i use the PircBot lib
Are you still receiving PINGs?
yes i getā¦ but after halb an hour wothout incomming message i dont get any pingā¦ but this problem i think is an effect of the main problem with no incomming messageā¦
Do you send PONGs? If you do not respond to the PINGs, youāll get disconnected what would explain your issue.
And messages in twitch-chat are sent as Privmsg to the bot, make sure you are listening to them and not to some public messages, idk how the pircbot interface handles those.
Do you mind sharing your java source code? I suppose the issue is somewhere in there. If you do not find success with your current library I would suggest writing your own code to connect to the servers, there are plenty of guides on how to do that.
the lib send pong by himself, but i checked and on each ping form twitch the lib send pong back
but sometimes i knog the time between the pings are so longā¦ at the begining i get even disconnect a few seconds befor i get a pingā¦ but last time i dont have this anymore
iāll try to write my own code but iām to stubed for it it never workā¦ thats the reson i use a external lib
Well using a library for that is the common way to go, why rewrite code that already exists. But it would help a lot if you would share the part of code you have written, where the connection is established, used and maintained.
You can try my chat library if it works better. No use writing it all by yourself.
There is nothin spezial

irc.joinChannel();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
}
hm, this does not really help much tbh, since basically everything is hidden in the library calls. The only thing i can see, is that i can not see anything what would process any input, but i guess you have that somewhere? You should also make sure you are listening to Privmsg and not something else there.
Only alternative if you can not figure it out is using another library.
Another alternative would be sharing the whole code to debug it, but i guess thats no what you want to 
that is allā¦
each incomming message will be call the āsetOutputMsg()ā method from the lib āPircBotā (see class extends)
the class call is at the bottom of the scrollbox unter ā##### CALL CLASS #####ā
all other do the āPircBotā libā¦
uhhā¦no xd actually pircbot calls āonMessage()ā - nothing in your current code calls āsetOutputMsgā except the one in ājoinChannelā. Thats at least how all the pircbot examples work.
Edit: and by the way, for your own sake, remove those public attributes and write some proper getters and setters, it hurts. Or even better, pass them at the constructor
yesturday iāll try the code at the bottom of this postā¦ it lost at the same time like the other botā¦
i dont know what it is but i think itās a problem on my siteā¦ more on twitch site but dont knowā¦

alright, this code there should actually work fine. I mean you should still remove public attributes, but it should work. Can you probably clarify your Problem again? When exactly do you lose the connection?
it was just a short test script, that it the reason for the public attributes 
Iāll hope i understand āprobably clairifyā right as āexplain it againā.
The mailproblem is, that the script are get into the twitch chat und get the messages of the normal āpublicā chat, the whisper AND all notifications (user ban/timeout/purge, subscription, followā¦).
All messages the script get but after a view minutes they get no public messages anymore (only whisper) and after a few minutes later, no whisper too. The script is still running (iāll try it with a terminal output each 10 mins and this running all the time).
It has no spezial time, messages or elseā¦ sometimes the script run hours and sometimes only es few minutesā¦
At the biginning i thought it was because noone write into the chat but sometimes it happand if the chat is writing each secondā¦
It isnāt at different times and on defferent computers and internet-connections (other router and other hoster).
Iāll try it with different accounts too but the problem is still there.
i dont have any idea >.<
i think this sounds like an excuse but could it be possible a problem on a part of twitch?
Sounds super weird tho. I have a few things running too related with chat and they never had an issue like that, so i still assume its something with your script. Can you actually send messages? For me this sounds either as an authentication or a timeout problem. Make sure you are correctly responding to Pings.
while i get messages i can send messages into the chat. on each ping i answer with a pong and that works fineā¦but iāll look that sometimes iāll dont get any ping but i cant send i pong to the server without a pingā¦ or?
