Question / Help TEXT NOT UPDATING IN OBS!?

[Lucas Falkingham]

Hi, i use obs daily to stream to twitch.tv. I use twitch alerts to show my recent followers, donations etc. I have it so that these recent donations and followers come up in text on my screen, so it goes on my border. The problem i am facing is with the text files not automatically updating in OBS. For instance when somebody new follows it still stays as the guy who had followed 10 minutes ago? The text file is updating in notepad but not in obs. The only way i can get it to update is to uncheck it and then check it again? The automatic text files used to work but in recent weeks it hasnt been letting me. I dont know whether this is a bug or not but i would like to know how i can fix it! Thanks

Gave it a quick spin and it seems to work fine in my test. I did not use twitch alerts to create the txt file though. Maybe a log can tell us if something went wrong:
Problem? Make sure to post a log and/or crash dump -- HOWTO

Hmm at least it does not seem to have a problem accessing the file, no error in the log.
Which exact tool are you using? Twitch Alerts search on google gave me twitchalerts.com but they dont seem to use text files.

I dont seem to be able to get the LastFollower.txt to populate, FollowerList.txt is also empty. At the moment I have no real idea to be honest. The function in OBS seems to work fine.
You could try removing the source, restarting obs (maybe even your pc) and re-adding the source. For the sake of computer stupidity.

If tried that. I have also tired re-downloading obs. These steps didnt work. The only way the source will update is when i uncheck it and then check it again?
