Can't link my account

[HadetTheUndying]

When I click "Link Twitch" the window just appears blank, I have no option to link my account, thus cannot connect to the chat.

This is a missing WebView or WebEngine plugin for Qt.

It's... a bear. Basically it's Google Chrome, it's huge, and it's only used for linking your account to Twitch. Unfortunately I haven't found a way around this yet, but I have a few ideas.

That said, if you can install Qt 6 with WebEngine, the newest release (6.2.0 tag) should work fine, but you'll have to build it yourself outside of Windows.

On the 6.2.0 version, I get {"status":400,"message":"missing client id"} when trying to Link Twitch even I put my Client ID from the URL created by the console from v1.2.

Hmm, that's new.

Thank you for the report, give me a bit to look into it!

You can confirm the id matches the attempted username?

Hi, I just build the app. When I link my account it promts the twitch login screen, I enter but the authorize page does not work, the 'continue' button does not work

I'm using fedora 37 on x11 server, for some reason wayland does not work for me. also I'm using gnome 43 but I had to launch the app in kde first, otherwise it wouldn't start

[danieloneill]

I'm not sure how to get this to work on Wayland, actually, because of how Twitch Overlay works.

As for the "Continue" button, I suspect it's related to an obnoxious bug I found just recently with regard to how the modality of the window is set, but ... I just closed the "Configuration" window and it basically unlocked the Link window.

For 1.3 although the steps and apparent process won't change, the backend has been rather significantly rewritten which will hopefully mitigate these kinds of issues.

I'll keep this issue open until somebody hitting one of the above issues gets around to building and testing the newer version and can confirm they aren't present anymore.
