A lite version of the extension that only includes the emote menu and tab auto-search for emotes.

#

huh?

compact topaz
#

Does this need more details?

#

or did I do something wrong?

frail blade
#

don't think it works that way lol

#

what you're trying to suggest

compact topaz
#

As of right now, I can access the 7tv emotes under the bttv extension, which works just fine. The suggestion is to have its own icon menu so I can look through just 7tv emotes, if that makes sense.

#

the full version of the extension has a ton of great features, I was just putting in a suggestion for a lite version

#

What you're saying makes sense, but BTTV and FFZ support 7tv emotes on their own.

#

7tv isn't going to make an extension that only adds emotes to other extensions, because that is the responsiblity of, and already done by the other extensions

frail blade
#

yeah basically what I was gonna say Lime

#

It would just cause conflicts

compact topaz
#

ok, i think ii see the confusion, I'm imaging a world where the only extension i have is "7tv lite" and that is an emote menu icon and tab auto-search/complete

#

not something for another extension

frail blade
#

Why not just use the full version?

#

You can disable all the other "bloat" to begin with

#

you're basically describing what it already has the capability of lol

compact topaz
#

I might again later, but i just have a lot of problems with the current version.

frail blade
#

What problems?

compact topaz
#

dont really want to turn this into a troubleshooting thread, but i dont see cheers, subs, gift subs, moments, or really anything i'd expect to see in twitch chat.

frail blade
#

I can see all of them fine Apu

compact topaz
#

so some things aren't working for me, somethings are working in unwanted ways, and somethings are now vastly different than mobile(so its like relearning a bit)

#

Make sure you're using the nightly version of 7TV

compact topaz
#

yeah, I dont know that what I'm experiencing is wide spread

#

that isn't considered stable tho, right?

frail blade

#

Just use FFZ in the mean time. All of the problems are being fixed but it takes a while for Google to approve the extensions

frail blade
#

right now it's more stable than the stable

versed flame
#

So Nightly is more "stable" at the moment

frail blade
#

They are working on remote updates instead of through Google/Mozilla so that won't be an issue soon enough

compact topaz
#

yeah, like i said i got emotes working and what not atm, so I'm good to wait and check out the next "official" release

#

I'm not a fancy 7tv user lol, I just love the emote platform

#

been subbed to y'all for almost a year now

#

really appreciate the work and the ease of use

Basically, the emotes have to get into chat somehow. Whether that's BTTV, FFZ, or 7TV.
The 7TV devs have their own extension they want to make that includes features that other extensions don't have, such as live emote updates and such.
The old "v2" extension was using the old APIs which were quickly becoming unsustainable with the number of users 7TV now has, so the new extension was needed. There are some problems with it still, but they will be solved soon enough.

#

So right now we're in a bit of a "limbo" state but it won't be that way for long.

compact topaz
#

yeah, i could tell this was a big change

#

Just to come round back to the suggestion, for me (and I am probably the minority), your emote platform is your most valuable asset, and the suggestion was meant to have that as a standalone extension.

versed flame
#

Yeah I get that

#

But there still has to be a functioning extension

#

There's very little "bloat" in even the new 7TV compared to FFZ in my opinion

compact topaz

I figured, I just don't know anything about the backend stuff lol
