I request that the 100 collection limit be removed or raised.

A channel can have an infinite amount of videos uploaded / highlighted / clipped, but can only organise them into 100 playlists. Once you've played 100+ games, you're out of luck.

For variety streamers who play many different games and would like their content to be accessible and organised, this limit has forced alternative options (like off-site re-uploading / messy collection systems).

I would like to keep my community ON Twitch, and I would like ALL content that I've made remain in one place, organised, rather than providing various links to different sites.

Currently, the only option for transcoding regardless of a streamer's own setup, is to pray you're lucky.

This harms a ton of smaller streamers, viewers, and Twitch Profits alike. It forces streamers to prioritise lower quality, which wards off viewers in more economically sound positions in order to get the viewers required to get noticed by the clearly viewer driven promotion algorithm. This is highly self-contradicting, leading to the only chance for twitch to maximise profit being streamers downprioritising the users that would be the most likely to contribute large amounts.

Opensourcing already existing transcoding service together with something like OBS Studio would be a no-brainer in that regard, and also save the potential processing cost of transcoding serverside. It would increase network load, but that could be easily mitigated, especially if it gives more users incentive to contribute to streams.

I’m working on an SPA where one can watch VODs in sync, as if it was live.

I noticed something weird on several videos: when started at a late position on Auto quality, the videos plays normally for a few seconds, then goes backward exactly when the quality is automatically changed.
This does not happen by switching qualities manually.

This is not easy to reproduce, as you need to be in Auto quality AND have the first selected quality to be low (e.g. 360p).

Here are the steps I took with relative success to reproduce the issue:

1. Go to this video : https://www.twitch.tv/videos/999197520?t=8h51m36s
2. Switch to a low quality (360p)
3. Let the video run for a few seconds
4. Switch to auto quality and refresh
5. If you’re lucky, you should be in Auto quality with 360p selected. If you have “Source” quality, go back to step 2
6. Around 8:51:51, the video should have jumped backward of a few minutes (but the timecode hasn’t). This happen exactly at the moment where the video switches quality.

I made a video showing the steps to reproduce and the bug here : https://youtu.be/s4TGLqzBg6k

My guess is that it is due to the long video and a somewhat wrong video encoding from the streamer…
I found a work-around by forcing a non-Auto quality in my SPA, but this removes the advantages of the Auto quality mode…

Foot Note : this also happens with the embed Twitch player.

Currently when exporting a VOD to YouTube you can export it as a single file or split it into 15 minute segments if you YouTube isn't verified. What I am requesting is that an additional option is added to split the export into 12 hour segments since this is the maximum that YouTube will accept.

The reason I would like this is that any of my streams that are over 12 hours are unable to be added to my YouTube unless I split them into 15 minute segments but this just doesn't make any sense.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that does long streams and runs into this issue.

In my twitch livestreams I often play multiple games.
Afterwards I exported the whole VOD to Youtube and split the content in multiple videos by using the Youtube Video Editor; with that I was able to sort the content according to the game in playlists and categories, because on Youtube one video can only be categorized in one category/game.

Youtube now removed the feature to "split videos to new videos" 😐

"No one used that and you can still easily download, split and reupload the Videos", Youtube says. 🙄
That is BS, because Download is limited to 720p and Youtube recodes the video on upload and therefore much of the video quality is lost.

SO,
as my suggestion ... suggests it would be nice to automatically split VODs according there category. Or at least manually.
Or it would be nice if the Export-Function would contain such an option. To export separate videos according there category.

Thanks for considering

• Higher Bitrate: (Above 10.000, with video quality selector can be managed so if someone won't use that high download usage, he can tweak it), we still have a really low bitrate, and that force us try to tweak OBS to reach higher quality with lower CPU encoding speed. Still this is not a miracle, and 6000 bitrate is so limited (even if there is a trick to go beyond and reach 8000 bitrate).

• HDR: OBS doesn't support because it's not worth it nowadays since Twitch is not supporting it, but other platforms are starting to give a hint to this technology. I think would be nice to have this option since Twitch is being used in so many Smart TV's in the present. So they could enjoy Twitch in a higher quality. Probably this option should need Twitch partnering with OBS or any other streaming program to make it possible in the best way.

• Higher framerate/resolution: These days we're having better connections that allow us to go beyond the old limits, we could make this work since right now is really normal to see a gameplay in 120FPS and even the next gen consoles are supporting it.

Twitch is the best stream platform, but our technical options are the same since almost 10 years ago. We should aim to higher quality so there are no quality loss between our viewership and our content.

It's time to wake up and make some improvements :)
