Just wondering if this is affecting anyone else? The "We're live now on Twitch! Title: Apex Legends" banner appears when a twitch stream is running, but I'm sure that it used to automatically go away once the stream ended?
Now though, it seems like it needs to be manually cleared. I still have it showing right now, as I type this, for an Apex Legends stream from two days ago. And I could have sworn I'd cleared that already?
Tell me I'm not imagining all this!
Can you open dev console (F12 usually in browser) and go to the console tab, and see if there's any errors?
The current file we ping is empty, meaning there's no stream, so it shouldn't display anything right now and doesn't for me.
Turns out there was a cache involved, but it was the browser cache. I have a cron that pings Twitch (rather than random page views hitting the Twitch API), then the gol twitch checker looks inside a JSON file the cron makes of the stream info and if it's noted inside then the banner appears. However, browsers were doing a cache of the JSON file. So now, I've made the twitch checker script add the time the request was made to the URL of the JSON file so it grabs it fresh each time.
