URGENT - Less than half of the viewers are working

[thearchitect2004]

Please answer the following questions:

• CVAmp version? v23 kofi
• OS with version? Ubuntu
• Streaming platform? Twitch
• Proxies from webshare.io? Yes

Describe the bug
Hey, things aren’t looking good.
Twitch seems to have rolled out a bunch of anti-viewbot measures.
Your tool’s barely working now, less than half of my bots are showing up.
From what I can tell, the ones with tokens almost never count, and the ones without only get counted randomly, even with good proxies.
Hope you can sort it out. I’ll send a special donation if you manage to fix it.

twitch is basically making your viewer count whatever they feel like. I even have friends connected to my stream and the amount of views is less than those people confirmed watching. Crazy stuff. viewers are all BS

[jeysonsan]

Hello twitch change the way they count the views, so the viewers who dont interactue with the stream doesnt count. i dont know if @KevinBytesTheDust can solve it or if we can help in anyway

[KevinBytesTheDust]

All information is welcome. I am troubleshooting this now, actively.

Any updates?

[KevinBytesTheDust]

Hey friends. I am still debugging and learning quite a lot for future versions (cpu/ram, detection), but no fix for Twitch yet ⏳

[KevinBytesTheDust]

My best guess is still a combination of IP and browser fingerprinting. I ran tests with extremely expensive Rotating Residential proxies from webshare, and all instances counted. Another user recommended https://www.thordata.com/. It's all super expensive, so I'll do some more testing.

I pivoted to SOCKS5 proxies and they work fine for me

How have you done that? Are you using webshare? @JimWas

Edit: I tried to do the same with my webshare proxires but they're not showing as viewers for sure.

How did you do this? Can you provide some steps and screenshots?
@KevinBytesTheDust Can you look into this, is this done on webshare and provide some steps?

with webshare, with whatever plan you have, change the connection method to rotating proxy endpoint and after that proxy protocol to sock5
