Python Code not opening VlC player of twitch stream instances

Hello so I don't stream right but wanted to make a video on peoples reactions when they are suddenly hit with a lot of people (this would be accompanied by a chat bot too and ill tell them what it was as well as ask for use permissions). So I thought it would be fun to look at view bots for twitch and found one online (code below). so I ran in installed streamlink via Pip and windows executable and it seems to run "found matching plugin twitch for URL "Stream link"" but it doesn't actually increase viewership and I can only assume this is because its not actually opening the Vlc instances, so here I am wondering what I need to do I have the latest version of python and git isnt trying to download and install anything so im assuming streamlink is all I need but im kind confused why it woudnt be opening the VLC instance any help is most appreciated.
Edit: oh and I do have the proxies and using a small amount to try and get it to work first, and will buy more later but after I get this to work!
import concurrent.futures, time, random, os
#desired channel url
channel_url = 'https://www.twitch.tv/StreamerName'
#number of viewer bots
botcount = 10
#path to proxies.txt file
proxypath = "C:\Proxy\proxy.txt"
#path to vlc
playerpath = r'"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"'
#takes proxies from proxies.txt and returns to list
def create_proxy_list(proxyfile, shared_list):
with open(proxyfile, 'r') as file:
proxies = [line.strip() for line in file]
for i in proxies:
shared_list.append((i))
return shared_list
#takes random proxies from the proxies list and adds them to another list
def randproxy(proxylist, botcount):
randomproxylist = list()
for _ in range(botcount):
proxy = random.choice(proxylist)
randomproxylist.append(proxy)
proxylist.remove(proxy)
return (randomproxylist)
#launches a viewer bot after a short delay
def launchbots(proxy):
time.sleep(random.randint(5, 10))
os.system(f'streamlink --player={playerpath} --player-no-close --player-http --hls-segment-timeout 30 --hls-segment-attempts 3 --retry-open 1 --retry-streams 1 --retry-max 1 --http-stream-timeout 3600 --http-proxy {proxy} {channel_url} worst')
#calls the launchbots function asynchronously
def main(randomproxylist):
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as executer:
executer.map(launchbots, randomproxylist)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main(randproxy(create_proxy_list(proxypath, shared_list=list()), botcount))

How can I make my tkinter program autoupdate?

I'm using python and tkinter to create a little program. I'd like to make the program check if the version the user is using is the most recent version. If not, then I'd like a window pop up to prompt the user to update. Then, I'd like my software to automatically install the newest version for the user. How would I go about doing this?
The first part seems pretty self-explanatory. A different stack overflow thread suggests having a text file with the correct version and then checking that against a text file that the user has. I'm not sure how to get the program to update itself though.
Edit:
adding some detail. Is it possible to use Python to download a git repository and deleting the old version the user has downloaded?

Here is the code I made:
Side Note: I dont know if you would want to download multiple or just one, the example I gave just download one
from tkinter import *
import requests
import os
import sys
VERSION = 0
def check_updates():
try:
link = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/User/Repo/Branch/SpecificFolderForUpdates/version.txt"
check = requests.get(link)
if float(VERSION) < float(check.text):
mb1 = messagebox.askyesno('Update Available', 'There is an update available. Click yes to update.') #confirming update with user
if mb1 is True:
filename = os.path.basename(sys.argv[0]) #gets current name of itself
savedrecordings = "Saved Recordings"
for file in os.listdir():
if file == filename: #Does not delete itself
pass
else:
os.remove(file) #removes all other files from the folder
exename = f'dcbot{float(check.text)}.exe'
code = requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/User/Repo/Branch/SpecificFolderToUpdate/file.exe", allow_redirects = True)
open(exename, 'wb').write(code.content)
root.destroy()
os.remove(sys.argv[0])
sys.exit()
elif mb1 == 'No':
pass
else:
messagebox.showinfo('Updates Not Available', 'No updates are available')
except Exception as e:
pass
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('800x400')
root.resizable(True, True)
root.title('Checking for updates...')
root.mainloop()

Telethon, catch_up(), get images

I'm trying to use the catch_up() function to get all file updates on boot, however, everytime I run my code, only half of the file is downloaded, sometimes the file is completely empt.
However, when I try to run with "iter_messages" I manage to download everything perfectly.
HELP!?
#client.on(events.NewMessage)
async def new_messages(event):
if hasattr(event.message.peer_id, "channel_id"):
print("Um dos canais");
else:
if hasattr(event.message.peer_id, 'chat_id'):
print("Tipo: ","chat");
dialog = int(event.message.peer_id.chat_id);
else:
print("Tipo: ","conversa");
dialog = int(event.message.peer_id.user_id)
'''getting the files'''
path = ""
if hasattr(event.media, "document"):
print("================\n", event.message.id, "\n================");
path = await client.download_media(event.media, file="arquivos_chimera/");
print(event)
if hasattr(event.media, "photo"):
print("================\n", event.message.id, "\n================");
path = await client.download_media(event.media, file="imagens_chimera/")
print(event)
'''getting the Telegram date'''
data = str(event.message.date);
'''text of the message'''
temp_message = await async_ajuste_SQL(event.message.message);
if path != "":
temp_message = path + " - " + temp_message;
'''Quem enviou a mensagem'''
if event.message.from_id==None:
from_ = event.message.peer_id.user_id;
else:
from_ = event.message.from_id.user_id
cur.execute(f"insert into tabela_de_mensagens values ({event.message.id}, {dialog}, {from_}, '{data}', '{temp_message}', 0);");
con.commit();
async def main():
await client.catch_up();
NOTE: the problem only ocurrs to images, delete, edit and new message updates come perfectly

So, after some testing, I realized that the problem was the fact that I was using an event handler without using a keep alive function, i.e., the event handler only works while the main function works, so, if you try to run the event handler with catch_up alone, it will only get the first updates, but will stop shortly after that (hence, why my image files were created, but not completed).
To get a solution, you can look at the following links:

Pyetrade / Etrade API for option-chains function only returns options for apple?

I'm trying to get some option chains using the pyetrade package. I'm working in Sandbox mode for a newly made Etrade account.
When I execute the following code, it executes fine, but the returned information is incorrect: I keep getting options for Apple between 2012 and 2015, instead of current Exxon-Mobil options (what I'm inputting). This is also true for if I ask for Google or Facebook or Netflix, I just keep getting outdated Apple options.
I'm not sure where I messed up, or if this is just something that's part of sandbox mode, so that's why I asked for help. Thank you!
(Note: Some of the code is sourced from: https://github.com/1rocketdude/pyetrade_option_chains/blob/master/etrade_option_chains.py)
The following is the function to get the option chain from the API:
def getOption(thisSymbol):
#Renew session / or start session
try:
authManager.renew_access_token()
except:
authenticate() #this works fine
#make a market object to pull what you need from
market = pyetrade.ETradeMarket(
consumer_key,
consumer_secret,
tokens['oauth_token'],
tokens['oauth_token_secret'],
dev=True
)
try:
#the dates returned are also
q = market.get_option_expire_date(thisSymbol,resp_format='xml')
#just formats the dates to be more comprehensible:
expiration_dates = option_expire_dates_from_xml(q)
except Exception:
raise
rtn = []
for this_expiry_date in expiration_dates:
q = market.get_option_chains(thisSymbol, this_expiry_date)
chains = q['OptionChainResponse']['OptionPair']
rtn.append(chains)
print()
return rtn
ret = getOption("XOM")
print(ret[0])

The API provider is explicit on this:
Note:
E*TRADE's sandbox doesn't actually produce correct option chains so this will return an error.
The sandbox is still useful for debugging e.g. the OAuth stuff.
No one could hardly make the sandbox-ed code work otherwise.

Azure API Not Working(sorry for the title I have no idea what's wrong)

As I said already sorry for the title. I have never worked with Azure API and have no idea what is wrong with the code, as I just copied from the documentation and put in my information.
Here is the code:
from azure.cognitiveservices.speech import AudioDataStream, SpeechConfig, SpeechSynthesizer, SpeechSynthesisOutputFormat
from azure.cognitiveservices.speech.audio import AudioOutputConfig
speech_config = SpeechConfig(subscription="ImagineHereAreNumbers", region="westeurope")
speech_config.speech_synthesis_language = "en-US"
speech_config.speech_synthesis_voice_name = "ChristopherNeural"
audio_config = AudioOutputConfig(filename=r'C:\Users\TheD4\OneDrive\Desktop\SpeechFolder\Azure.wav')
synthesizer = SpeechSynthesizer(speech_config=speech_config, audio_config=audio_config)
synthesizer.speak_text_async("A simple test to write to a file.")
Well as I run this I get no error and in fact, get in my desired folder a .wav file, but this file has 0 bytes and it looks corrupted.
Now here is why I have no idea of what's wrong because if I remove this
speech_config.speech_synthesis_language = "en-US"
speech_config.speech_synthesis_voice_name = "ChristopherNeural"
So it becomes this
from azure.cognitiveservices.speech import AudioDataStream, SpeechConfig, SpeechSynthesizer, SpeechSynthesisOutputFormat
from azure.cognitiveservices.speech.audio import AudioOutputConfig
speech_config = SpeechConfig(subscription="ImagineHereAreNumbers", region="westeurope")
audio_config = AudioOutputConfig(filename=r'C:\Users\TheD4\OneDrive\Desktop\SpeechFolder\Azure.wav')
synthesizer = SpeechSynthesizer(speech_config=speech_config, audio_config=audio_config)
synthesizer.speak_text_async("A simple test to write to a file.")
It now works all of the sudden, but with what I assume to be the basic/common voice.
So here is my question: how do I choose a voice that I want(btw is this one "en-US-JennyNeural" style="customerservice" or something among these lines)
Thank You in advance!

ChristopherNeural is not a valid voice name. The actual name of the voice is en-US-ChristopherNeural.
speech_config.speech_synthesis_voice_name = "en-US-ChristopherNeural"
This is well-documented on the Language support page of the Speech services documentation.
For other, more fine-grained control over voice characteristics, you'll require the use of SSML as outlined in text-to-speech-basics.py.
