OverlayHub Update — 0.1.2-beta.1

This update brings authentication and connection improvements, plus fixes for the moderation page and release packaging.

Changes since 0.1.0-beta.1:

• Twitch authorization recovery: Revoked or invalid saved credentials now trigger fresh browser authorization.
• Twitch configuration migration: Older configurations now use hosted authentication, preventing legacy developer credentials from overriding the consumer connection flow.
• Twitch callback fixes: Corrected redirect handling and replaced the premature “authentication successful” browser message with instructions to check the connection in OverlayHub.
• YouTube token renewal: Added shared token renewal during operation and a refresh-and-retry when an API request returns an authorization error.
• YouTube reconnect improvements: Added increasing retry delays after chat failures and throttling, plus a cooldown when YouTube reports exhausted API quota.
• YouTube connection cleanup: Chat readers and background tasks are cleaned up on disconnect.
• Clearer YouTube error logs: API errors now include Google’s reported reason, helping distinguish authentication, permission, and quota issues.
• Moderation page fixes: Corrected script paths for community and viewer-profile features.
• Release packaging: Added a repeatable, versioned packaging script that includes the application, platform plugins, moderation page, and OBS overlay.

YouTube credentials remain encrypted locally for the Windows account that connected them.

Testing status: Twitch reauthorization has been tested successfully. YouTube startup and quota handling have been confirmed; extended livestream testing of token renewal is still pending.

To update, close OverlayHub, extract the entire new ZIP into a new folder, and launch it from there. Your saved settings and chatter database remain in LocalAppData. Update your OBS file paths if the folder location changes.

OverlayHub remains in early-access beta. Thanks for testing and reporting issues!

By Streamers, For Streamers.

OverlayHub now has its own website! This was mostly a requirement by Google to get the application approved for use on YouTube without a developer account for each user, so it kinda is what it is!
