Maybe some day Opera will fix it, but who knows.

@bloodytiger
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")

quick update:

There were some problems, but I already updated it on github!
You'll have to re-download and install the newer version (0.19.0_0)

@greensworlddk Huh, that's weird. It seems to have to do with manifest v2 being phased out.
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!

Hey @RRegi
I haven't seen this issue before, but re-installing the Twitch integration might work.
Originally this fix, that I made, was for another bug, where the Twitch icon didn't appear and the setting for it was gone, but it might fix your problem!

@KngPale @NaivatcoHD
A few months ago I found a way to fix it! Doesn't work 100% of the time, but so far I've had only 1 person telling me it didn't work.

Hope it helps : D

@wanderingirish Are you using a GX profile? If so, switch to the main one and try again.
You can also submit an issue on Github, so we don't have to write here.

@tempyst Hi again!
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!

@tempyst Hi!

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!

Hey!
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!
