I’m live. But my status won’t change.
First, wait for 60 seconds. Twitcasting Status uses cache. It only check the live/offline status once a min.
If you don’t see the change os status after 60 seconds you become live, you may have misspelled your Twitcasting ID, your WordPress site may be having hard time reaching Twitcasting Server, or your IP may be blocked from Twitcasting Server.
How can I check if Twitcasting server is working or not?
In order to check if Twitcasting service itself is working or not, you could directly ping their server by going to
http://api.twitcasting.tv/api/livestatus?type=jason&user=XXXXXXXXXXX
Replace the last “X” to your account ID (e.g., YokosoNews) when you’re live. You should be able to see “islive”:true in your browser.
If you’re still having problem getting the status, you can think of the following situation
- You mistyped your Twistcasting ID (Twitter ID)
- You mistyped the wrong URL of images
- Twitcasting Server may be having some problem.
