IRC: Not receiving NOTICE when there is an incoming host

Chat and IRC
1

I need to capture a user host via IRC.

The IRC documentation infers that I should receive a NOTICE with msg-id host_success whenever an incoming host is detected: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/msg-id

However, this is not the case for me. I logged on to an alt and hosted my main account, but I did not get the notification in my app.

I have already done < CAP REQ :twitch.tv/tags twitch.tv/commands. My app can receive chat messages and other things such as USERNOTICE when a user subscribes, so it’s not a matter of the capability registration not working.

Does anyone know if this is intended behavior or not? If so, how do I have my app be notified when a user hosts?

Host notifications are only sent to the broadcasters chat feed so you’ll have to logged into chat as the broadcaster ie same user as the channel.

There’s been a few reports of it not working correctly. And/or doesn’t fire when the viewer count is low. So best to retest and log all the raw lines that Chat sends

The msg-id docs are a little odd as they cover a large number of possible message ID’s but not all of them are active/in use it’s more of a glossary.

I definitely had some issues with seeing hosts/raids. I thought I was doing something wrong so I streamed and logged every single message(even pings) I got back from the client and I got no notification when a raid of 250+ viewers came into my stream.

Would love if anyone could help me figure out if I’m doing something wrong. Here are the two messages I got between the raid according to my logs:
