More chat issues with the player.
I tried out a recording with the chat downloaded (not sure if this happens too with captured chat) and the chat messages just works sometimes. I'll try to give more info on what happened and what I did:
So I open the player via LiveStreamDVR with downloaded chat, set chat to not be overlaid, seek the video to a middle point (to avoid intros on the stream) and the chat was properly working. After couple of minutes the chat froze, no more chat messages appeared so I clicked "reset chat" which only cleared the stuck messages from the screen and nothing more.
After that I tried out to seek the video back to a place where the chat messages were working previously and they didn't work anymore this time.
All this without refreshing the page.
Another issue I found out is at the start of the video, the chat seems to never work. I confirmed that the messages are on the chat.json file but they never appear at the first couple of minutes, for some reason.
i can't find a performant way to seek, right now it takes like a minute to go through all the comments, i'll see if i come up with a solution
the start offset most likely causes that, which isn't accessible to adjust when you open it with the url params
