quick question ORDER/Points_acenting

[saabia]

What is the difference?
Does it go with the setting "ORDER" through everybody whos live, and with points_acenting only to these who have the wenigsten punkte?

ORDER will prioritise streamers in the order they're defined in your run file. POINTS_ASCENDING will prioritise streamers where you have the lowest amount of channel points first. In all cases, the miner will only attempt to watch online streamers.

So if i use ORDER, it first will mine the streamers in the run file, and if there not online these with the lowest points?

It doesnt seem to work like that.

It will only ever try to mine streamers that are explicitly defined in your run file and those from your follower list if you use the followers=True option. It will not attempt to mine any other streamer. And, each time it tries to "watch" a stream, it will only consider watching online streamers.

Let's look at the example:

Twitch-Channel-Points-Miner-v2/example.py

Lines 120 to 135 in 1057587

	twitch_miner.mine(
	[
	Streamer("streamer-username01", settings=StreamerSettings(make_predictions=True , follow_raid=False , claim_drops=True , watch_streak=True , community_goals=False , bet=BetSettings(strategy=Strategy.SMART , percentage=5 , stealth_mode=True, percentage_gap=20 , max_points=234 , filter_condition=FilterCondition(by=OutcomeKeys.TOTAL_USERS, where=Condition.LTE, value=800 ) ) )),
	Streamer("streamer-username02", settings=StreamerSettings(make_predictions=False , follow_raid=True , claim_drops=False , bet=BetSettings(strategy=Strategy.PERCENTAGE , percentage=5 , stealth_mode=False, percentage_gap=20 , max_points=1234 , filter_condition=FilterCondition(by=OutcomeKeys.TOTAL_POINTS, where=Condition.GTE, value=250 ) ) )),
	Streamer("streamer-username03", settings=StreamerSettings(make_predictions=True , follow_raid=False , watch_streak=True , community_goals=True , bet=BetSettings(strategy=Strategy.SMART , percentage=5 , stealth_mode=False, percentage_gap=30 , max_points=50000 , filter_condition=FilterCondition(by=OutcomeKeys.ODDS, where=Condition.LT, value=300 ) ) )),
	Streamer("streamer-username04", settings=StreamerSettings(make_predictions=False , follow_raid=True , watch_streak=True , )),
	Streamer("streamer-username05", settings=StreamerSettings(make_predictions=True , follow_raid=True , claim_drops=True , watch_streak=True , community_goals=True , bet=BetSettings(strategy=Strategy.HIGH_ODDS , percentage=7 , stealth_mode=True, percentage_gap=20 , max_points=90 , filter_condition=FilterCondition(by=OutcomeKeys.PERCENTAGE_USERS, where=Condition.GTE, value=300 ) ) )),
	Streamer("streamer-username06"),
	Streamer("streamer-username07"),
	Streamer("streamer-username08"),
	"streamer-username09",
	"streamer-username10",
	"streamer-username11"
	], # Array of streamers (order = priority)
	followers=False, # Automatic download the list of your followers
	followers_order=FollowersOrder.ASC # Sort the followers list by follow date. ASC or DESC

If you used ORDER this run file would prioritise streamer-username01 then streamer-username02, etc... since that's the order they show up in the file. This run file defines followers=False so it won't check your followers list. If it had followers=True however, it'll then start checking the followers list in the order defined by followers_order, in this case it's ascending alphabetical order.

If you used POINTS_ASCENDING it would sort your streamer list (including followers if you've set followers=True) by your channel points for each streamer ascending. It will prioritise those streamers with the least points first.

If you define multiple priorities it will use the first priority first. For example:

Twitch-Channel-Points-Miner-v2/example.py

Lines 22 to 26 in 1057587

	priority=[ # Custom priority in this case for example:
	Priority.STREAK, # - We want first of all to catch all watch streak from all streamers
	Priority.DROPS, # - When we don't have anymore watch streak to catch, wait until all drops are collected over the streamers
	Priority.ORDER # - When we have all of the drops claimed and no watch-streak available, use the order priority (POINTS_ASCENDING, POINTS_DESCENDING)
	],

This has STREAK first so it looks through the streamer list for any channels that are live for which you have not yet had this stream's watch streak. Once all watch streaks are claimed it moves to the next priority DROPS, so it'll prioritise watching streamers with active drop campaigns (only for streamers for which you've enabled claim_drops) so it can claim them. And finally, it has ORDER which we've already looked at.

If you're technically minded, you can check out the source code that does the watching:

Twitch-Channel-Points-Miner-v2/TwitchChannelPointsMiner/classes/Twitch.py

Line 376 in 1057587

def send_minute_watched_events(self, streamers, priority, chunk_size=3):

Hope this helps 😊

What i would like to: First mine the Streamers subscribed, then Drops, then in the List in the Run file in this order (if more than 1 online) they are in the list.
After that i want to mine other following streamers starting with the lowest points.

My Settings are:
STREAK,
SUBSCRIBED,
DROPS,
ORDER

twitch_miner.mine(
[
"xxx1"
"xxx2",
"xxx3",
"xxx4",
"xxx5",
"xxx6",

], # Array of streamers (order = priority)
followers=True, # Automatic download the list of your followers
followers_order=FollowersOrder.ASC # Sort the followers list by follow date. ASC or DESC

With this setting its: Getting streaks mostly right, then prioritys subscribed accounts, gets drops, but after that the problem begins to start:
Its using the longest following Streamers (i got about 30) and it dont start at these with the lowest points..

Ah, I don't think that's currently possible. at startup the miner takes your explicitly defined list of streamers and your follower list and merges them. So there's currently no way to have it prioritise the follower list differently to the explicit list. The only thing you can do is set followers_order to something and use ORDER which will at least order the followers list in some way. Oh, and I got something wrong in my earlier explanation. followers_order isn't alphabetical it's by follow date.

Feel free to submit an issue (or a pr if you're up to it) and somebody might implement it in the future.

As an aside, an interesting quirk of the priority system is that there's no point defining more priorities after ORDER, POINTS_ASCENDING, or POINTS_DESCENDING. This is because each of those has the broadest possible selection criteria, the streamer only has to be online. So if you defined say STREAK after one of those you'd find that the miner would never prioritise watch streaks, although it might occasionally get them.
