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.

Recently I lost at a minimum 58 clips from my channel due to the person who created them no longer being part of my community. This included my most popular clip of all time and many other amazing funny moments.

The reason I am mentioning that is to add context for the biggest flaw in the clip creation system. There is no way to recover these at all so these memories are just gone forever.

My susgestion is to change how this works. Take away people's ability to delete clips that they created for another channel either all together or after X time they cannot delete the clip. Nobody should have power or control over the creators content which this gives. This person had full control over my clips they created for me and therefore my content. I should not have to download every clip of mine just to keep them safe, they should be safe on Twitch. The content creator should have full ownership of any clips made of their channel.

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.

There needs to be a way to search or filter by game in a particular streamer's channel to find specific vods or clips instead of scrolling back years, and then having to either find and save all the links, or scroll again every time you get back to it, just to watch a particular game all the way through.

For example: I wanted to watch a streamer's Noita videos from a year or more ago. I had to scroll back through every stream vod he had done in that time to find it, and bookmark the second video for after I had finished the first. Thankfully there were only two in that case. This is going to be a nightmare for the longer games I want to watch.

VODs and clips are already categorized by game, it doesn't make sense that there's no way to sort them except by popularity and recency.

Typing a single quote [ ' ] into the video description field for a highlight gets transformed into the HTML entity ' - which wouldn't be a problem if that was what got spat out on the VOD page, but it isn't, we see the raw escaped entity in the description.

This is a pretty big problem for languages that use that mark as punctuation, like, y'know, English. The most commonly spoken language in the world and also the language we are writing in right now.

You can see the issue on this VOD page: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1131783457

Please fix asap! Cheers

The dashboard tells me that markdown is supported for a VOD, and when I type in a plain text URL into the description the editor silently converts it to hyperlink markdown when I save the changes to the description.

When I view the video, the description contains raw markdown, and markdown such as double-space for line breaks is ignored, as well as the automatically-generated URL markdown. It looks REALLY bad to users, and markdown definitely is NOT supported despite what the portal is telling me.

Since markdown does not appear to be supported, you should also not force plaintext URLs in descriptions to be converted to markdown.
