Chatterino2: chatterino no longer able to pull stream online status while anonymous

[nwff]

thinking this might be a recent twitch change but earlier today I was using 2.2.0 and this was working fine, then I used the builtin updater to update to 2.2.1 and now it doesn't show whether a stream is online or offline in the title bar at the top of the chat box. I suspect this also prevents 'stream has come online' desktop notifications

plugging in a twitch account and restarting chatterino causes this to function normally so it might be a twitch api change, idk

not sure if possible to fix but please investigate if you have time. you are probably already aware of the anonymous 'justinfan####' login twitch provides (provided?) as it seems to be common on google, maybe that could be made to work somehow

much appreciated

Can't do anything. There is now a need for a valid oauth token which in this case should be attached to an account.

should close this and add block

Could use kraken for anonymous connections while that API is still accessible

@iProdigy While you can migrate from v3 to v5, know that v5 is deprecated and will be shutdown in the future. We prefer that you migrated directly to the new Twitch API.

I'm well aware of v5 deprecation. Here's a summary of current api usage, and you can see other kraken usage: https://github.com/Chatterino/chatterino2/blob/master/src/providers/twitch/api/README.md

I'd be happy to hear a scalable alternative from you on restoring this functionality for anonymous connections

As outlined in #1560, the idea is to move away from Kraken. I don't think it makes sense to invest time into implementing a feature using a deprecated API, well-knowing that it will be dropped in the near future.
