VODs no longer show category/game

Open Para-lyzed opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

In previous versions, the VODs from a channel would show the category/game from the start of the stream. In the most recent version, this is no longer shown on VODs, only on live streams.

That is because Twitch doesn`t give us that information anymore. Please see: https://github.com/twitchdev/issues/issues/58

Got it, thanks. I guess there isn't really a way to fix that for now.

So it seems as if https://twitchtracker.com/ still has categories for games, including how long each category was streamed for and title changes. It has an API, but the website itself does not appear to be open source. Gleaming that information through their API might be a solution, so I thought I'd mention it. That would add a closed-source dependency, so I'm not sure it would be a perfect solution, but a possibility nonetheless.
