Can't login (not hosting login response?)

[CuddleBear92]

Hey i can't login and i haven't been able too for months so i stopped using the program.
Really want to use it but without logging in... its kinda useless with follows and such.

What happens:
Click the login button.
It opens the default browser with the twitch login page and its access rights.
I log in and accepts.
Fails to load: This page isn't working, Localhost sent an invalid response when it loads: http://localhost:8979/#access_token=TOKENHERE&scope=user_read+user_subscriptions+user_follows_edit+chat_login+user_blocks_read+user_blocks_edit&token_type=bearer

I have also tried to changing this line to 127.0.0.1 and my local LAN address.
All of which doesn't work.

Tried reinstalling the program as a whole... i have also reinstalled the whole OS within the issues started so that didn't help.
Also tried clearing out Orion from the connection page on twitch.

Not sure what else i can try to get this working as it was.

This sounds like the problem from #266 , which was that Orion was delivering a corrupt HTTP response that some browsers couldn't handle. It should be fixed in the codebase; what build are you using?

If this is the problem you're running into, one workaround is to copy and paste the localhost URL into Firefox, which handles the HTTP response fine.

Thanks, copy pasted it into edge and it worked. hmmm why didn't i try that? wew

was using the latest release v1.6.6 on Win10Pro and where using basic Chrome.

I have this problem on Ubuntu with Firefox.

It's apparently broken because of api changes and lack of documentation from twitch #288

I doubt it will be fixed either streamlink/streamlink#2680 (comment)

[tainium]

So apps like this one are dead?

[ahjolinna]

Well there are 3rd-party apps that do work, at least on Android there is Xtra https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.exact7.xtra

@ahjolinna I don't understand; what does login support have to do with the video access_token API?
