How to fix that?

I encountered the same issue. I went to the website https://tiktok-chat-reader.zerody.one/# and the page also displayed "Error: Failed to retrieve the initial room data."

Yes, TikTok has made several changes, so the developer of this library needs time to update the code and adapt to these changes.

One small example is that before displaying a user's video feed on the TikTok web version, you now have to complete a captcha. This affects tools that rely on browser scraping, requiring them to adjust their code.

So, Zerody, the creator of tiktok-live-connector, needs some time to make the necessary updates.

Yep it seems it's broken. I wondered how long it would be until TT blocked this.
