Twitch Vods - Not queueable
Broadcast VODs cannot be added to the queue, contrary to the available providers under settings.
Hey, Twitch VODs are supposed to work only with timestamps at the moment, like https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2449268844?t=3h15m56s. Is there a scenario where queueing full VODs, without a timestamp would be a desirable option?
Hey, thanks for getting back to me(us),
We were trying to use it during a Subathon for an extended period of time where I would be useful to be able to queue up longer VODs for the creator; where using shorter clips would be cumbersome or time-consuming.
Personally I assumed it supported VODs generically, as I was unware of the timestamp requirement as I don't seem to see it documented in the UI or the help page? I'm aware that its an edge case and something extremely niche, but I also don't think a hard-requirement for the timestamp is required either way the VOD gets loaded if you use 0h0m0s, shouldn't be any different than just {nothing}; I'm not sure if that's a twitch requirement due to how its being pulled on the apps side?
I will pass along the information so we can use queued vods though.
I think that requiring a timestamp could improve the quality of the queue. But I found a channel that uses highlights instead of clips (~ 4 min duration) for music performances. The URLs are like VODs and therefore require a timestamp. In this case it could be better, to allow Highlights/VODs with a short duration (from curl -X GET 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/videos?id= → data[0].duration) without a timestamp.
