Hours plays with privateSolved

Thanks for updating the plugin.
If a user has there hrs set to private will it kick them because it can somehow see there game play or will it kick them because it cant see there hrs? on the old plugin if my account was set to private it still recognised that I had to many hrs

If the user has their profile on private - and you didnt specify kicking for that - then the checks will simply stop going further there. That means no kick.
Please read the whole readme, it is described at the point "Behaviour" steam-checks. So if private, it will stop after point 3.

"on the old plugin if my account was set to private it still recognised that I had to many hrs"
The old plugin didnt have any option for checking too many hours.

I made it so it did ;)

But when i had private acounts set to fale and a time limit on, it wouldnt let me join even tho my profile was set to private

How long did you wait after setting it to private?
Steam uses Akamai CDN for the Webapi, you propably saw a not up-to-date cache of your data. This wouldn't be very surprising either, since the game information and whether the profile is private are on different API paths and therefore probably cached separately.

Note that another possibility could be, that your own API Key is actually able to read more information about you and your friends. Some posts on other sites hint that.

I also just verified it, the response for private accounts is either always 0 hours or no response at all. You can verify that by issuing the command `steamcheck.runtests <steamid64>` 
Watch for the line starting with "[SteamChecks Reborn] GetPlaytimeInformation ", it will respectivily return 0-hours or GameInfoHidden

EDIT: Take a look here https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Web_API#GetOwnedGames_.28v0001.29 when querying the account which created the API Key, it indeed will give you more information.

it was only 5mins. However i took myself off the list and it kicked me for to many hours played. Im sot sure how its noticing that my mr count is over the limit even tho my acount is set to private. 

I will try this with a alt account.

Merged post

it let me join. must be because my account is linked with a API. bugger :D
