Pick up new followed Streamers

[pchristod]

Hi,

first of all: I found this gem yesterday and it is working beatifully. Relatively easy to set up and great functionality. So tthanks!
I'm currently most interested in claiming Drops for various games. In the run.py I set the Streamer Settings to download the list of followers. This works fine, however is there an option to check for new followers in a specified timeframe and download a new list?

The reason I'm asking is this: If I have this script running 24/7 and I'm focused on mainly Drops it would be great to be able to add new Streamers dynamically (via Twitch) and the script picks it up automatically. So in that case when e.g. a new game releases with Drops I can simply follow some Streamer and the script would pick it up and do the work for me.
As far as I understand it, currently I would have to restart the Docker container. This is just something minor, but probably helpful in some cases :)

This sounds like an excellent feature request. The pull for subscriptions at the beginning can take up a bit of time. My example, 143 streamers takes around 3 minutes. I dunno if the miner would be able to multitask and continue mining while it was refreshing the list. So might miss out on watchtime while it's refreshing.

Thanks!
Ah yeah, you are right, I didn't think of that since I have only a few Streamers I follow. I like to keep my list more or less clutter free, but I see why that would become a problem for someone with a lot of streamers. But I guess multitasking shouldn't be a problem in this case. During startup the download of the list is essential (to know which streamers you have), but in case of during the runtime it could do it in the background and evaluate the list once it finished downloading - to check if it needs to switch streams due to priorities.
At least thats my guess - could be wrong though :D

If it's drops you're chasing, consider adding support for feature request #91 .

Agreed though, it does monitor the current list of streamers to switch based on priority. So maybe checking the followed list is a possibility.

Yup, that makes sense, just added support for that FR - would be great to see support for this as well. Thanks for the link.
