@tempyst Here's the link: https://github.com/Knopfi02/OperaGX-Twitch-Integration-fix

Still not working for me. Twitch did not appear on the sidebar 😞
And I had this icon a few days ago working.

Same for me, it won't appear in the extensions section.

I just updated the repository to the newest version.
You can see if it works now :))

Thank you very much anaway 🙂

are you sure that you did everything correctly?
Check the folder locations again.

Other than that I honestly don't know what could fix it.
Opera doesn't seem to care about it's users, I've reported this issue a loooong time ago.
That's also why I switched to firefox a loooong time ago. (I just use an extention called "Twitch Live")

It seems like the Twitch integration has been updated. I'm gonna update it on Github asap.
Manifest v2 extentions won't be supported in the future (I think June 2023), but the extention will 100% be updated to manifest v3 before that happens.
Thanks for writing the reply tho!

Manifest version 2 is deprecated, and support will be removed in 2023. See https://developer.chrome.com/blog/mv2-transition/ for more details.

So what I've found is that the Twitch integration is technically an extention.
You are, however, not able to install it like a normal extention.
If you would just copy the extentions folder into the "Extentions" folder, some thing would recognize it and just delete it after starting OperaGx.
Plus you would have to edit the "Preferences" file to actually show the extention in the sidebar.

You can, however, use the "Developer Mode" to import extentions from their folder!
I quickly created a github repository so everyone can download the folder of the Twitch extention!

I hope that this works for you!
: D

I will try to find out more about it when I have time (in a few hours).

For me the setting appeared below the "Use GX messenger icons" setting:

Let me know if you manage to fix it!

You're the first person I've found that actually has a potential solution on this issue! My only issue is that when I created a new profile, the setting didn't appear. do you potentially know how I could fix that as well? The only setting even relating to the Twitch Sidebar Icon was located in the "Welcome to Opera GX Set-up/Tutorial" screen that appears on initial launch, and I couldn't interact with the slider at all, it was just completely non-responsive. Pictured below. Opera Ticket.png

The Sidebar settings in my GX Profile browser look like this. On my friends' browsers, the Twitch setting is usually located between the "GX Control," and "GX Cleaner," but as you can see it's just not there for me.

I had this problem a few months ago and managed to fix it.

For some unknown reason there is a chance that the Twitch sidebar setting just isn't there. I don't know why, but for some reason it works if you create a GX profile.

​
Go to your settings and create a new GX profile , start the new profile and activate the Twitch sidebar extention (under the GX settings) there.

Now you can go to %Appdata%\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\_side_profiles and to the newly created profile.
I can't guarantee 100% that these are the right files (either way nothing bad should happen other than your browser settings being reset), but you have to copy

  • Preferences
  • Preferences.backup
  • Secure Preferences
  • Secure Preferences.backup

and paste them into %Appdata%\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable and overwrite the existing ones.

If everything worked you should now have the sidebar extention enabled!
