7TV not working in Chrome (stuck in onboarding) | 7TV | Page 1

After finishing the onboarding flow, it still does not work, I don't see any emotes, and twitch looks normal. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the extension, done chrome://restart, deleted all my IndexedDB data, tried 7TV nightly, tried resetting extension permissions... I'm a 7TV subscriber.

But no good. It's still stuck on "Onboarding". How can I debug further?

This is just a regular installation of Google Chrome.

#

I figured out how to view Extension errors, it looks like there's a few:

background.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.```

#

I fully uninstalled nightly, completely closed chrome, then installed stable release from the 7tv website, and still get these same two errors

#

Interesting, I updated chrome to 143 and now I get a more useful error:

assets/seventv.GearsIcon.3.1.14.js:10 (tn)```

#

I've tried clearing all site data, deleting the extension's siteworker's indexeddb, everything, but I still get these errors.

#

After deleting the indexeddb, unregistering the content script with await chrome.scripting.unregisterContentScripts({ ids: ['seventv-youtube'] }); in the service worker, now I only get this one error "background.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist."

#

I tried on a fresh Chrome profile, same issue

I gave up and installed FFZ instead 🙁

do chrome://restart, go to any twitch.tv page and #1437047906334146611 message

#

or just keep ffz, not sure if you still need help or not

Hello my friend. Im not sure if youre willing to give this a go, but I will try to spit out some possible fixes for you.

You’ve narrowed this down far enough that this is either a 7TV bug or a Chrome MV3 issue.
Try disabling Youtube integration and reloading Chrome. Dont change anything else.

Thanks, it's okay though, I've long since given up
