Major Bug Fixes & New Feature Release​

This update introduces a brand-new interactive feature for viewers plus several important fixes for authentication, chat initialization, and platform handling.

---

✨ Added​

Guess The Song — New Chat Mini-Game!​

Your chat can now play Guess The Song directly through Request+.

• Viewers can use !guess <song name> to guess the track.
• Overlay shows a "Guess The Song starting soon" message ~1 second before the next song begins.
• Players have 30 seconds from the start of the next song to submit guesses.
• Playlist link is recommended in chat/bio so players can participate fairly.
• Player stats tracking (correct/incorrect guesses): COMING SOON
• Spotify-only feature (not available for YouTube Music).

---

Fixes​

• Fixed a Kick authentication bug where login would fail or not initialize properly.
• Fixed YouTube repeat mode being null, causing playback issues.
• Fixed an issue where Kick chat would not initialize if the token was invalid.
• Fixed a bug where Twitch/Kick chat would not activate after login.
• Fixed an issue where the Queue page appeared for YouTube clients, even though moderation queues are not supported for YouTube (due to complex queue structures).

---

Guess The Song — Technical Notes​

• A pre-roll overlay message appears 1 second before the next track starts.
• Guess window begins when the new song starts and lasts 30 seconds.
• Stats system prepares for future tracking of:
  • Who guessed correctly
  • Who guessed incorrectly
    (Stats only recorded when a guess command is used.)

Note
Guess The Song only works on Spotify because YouTube Music does not provide timestamps or reliable next-track prediction through Pear Desktop’s current API.
