Source in the block

Available in Visual Portfolio Pro 3.9.0 and later.

Each gallery picks what it shows from the account. In the block, under Account, select a Source. Until you pick one, the select reads Choose a source and the gallery shows nothing.

SourceShows
ClipsClips of the channel
VideosVideos of the channel
StreamsThe live stream of the channel

Every source has one field, Channel. Enter the name from the channel URL: pwrdesports1 from https://www.twitch.tv/pwrdesports1. A full URL does not work. The channel does not have to be the one you logged in with.

If the account was saved with a source before, the first option reads As in connection: followed by that source, and galleries that keep it show that source.

The first time the editor previews a source, it fetches that source and shows its first page. Read more in Social.

What is imported

Clips, live streams or videos of the channel with title, description (videos), date, views, thumbnails and the streamer as the author. Videos play through Twitch’s player; they are not downloaded. Twitch avatar links expire, so avatars are cached locally.

Notes

The token is renewed every hour while the site’s cron runs. Edit on a saved account validates the token and shows the login it belongs to; Reconnect logs in again.
