{game_name} not resolving for vod filename or folder

Open olig89 opened this issue 2 years ago • 9 comments

Files and folders are being created with everything resolving apart form {game_name}.

This is occurring both for vod downloads (from the menu), and post-stream downloads (triggered automatically) - both occasions where game/category data should be available.

video info fetched from the twitch api unfortunately do not have game/chapter information attached

some rather unorthodox ways of getting this info has now been implemented onto the dev branch

Cool! Look forward to testing it, will have to sub to some randoms as my main (usecase) streamer is offline for a bit.

Looks like your wizardry works! I'm getting the game name resolved for both file and folder fields now.

My next issue is with using that field to create a subfolder but that's a separate problem, so I'll create a different issue to keep this one tidy.

Looks like this has reverted back to not resolving (on develop branch)

yes there's a new config option about enabling gql under twitch, it is an unsupported and non encouraged feature. use at your own risk

Quite a weird one, on latest dev build I have Cities: Skylines II behaving in a way i've not seen anything do before.

For other games it's fine but for this one it will show as this in putty: image

but from windows, like this: image

I wouldn't care but because It's a weird set of characters, LivestreamDVR then makes a new folder for each new video (with similarly random string).

Within that folder there are the season folders, and files, as expected - only this game folder that's misbehaving

classic case of smb not being able to handle weird filenames yes

newest dev version should hopefully fix this now, but it also includes some major breaking changes that might wipe vod json files, not sure yet. make backups.
