"Whoops. Something went wrong," a confusing worthless error message for copyright!
"Whoops. Something went wrong," is about the most confusing and least helpful error message that you could provide for twitch users when their clips fail due to copyright music.
How about, "This clip failed due to copyright music?"

I get this regularly even when I'm not clipping anything with music. Just happens randomly and I have to retry starting at a slightly different time. Would be nice if it at least explained WHY it failed. Sometimes it happens when the clip is over 1 minute because of bad javascript coding that lets you drag the timeline 1 pixel too far or something. Sometimes it's other reasons.

I had to login just to upvote this. Thank you for being the answer to my time spent on clearing caches and reinstalling browsers on 3 different devices in the past 72 hours. Please clarify your errors Twitch. Cheers bruv.

It's insane that the only way I even figured out that the problem was a copyright claim was by finding this post when googling the error message. Please make it clearer.

I ran into a different issue where my clips were badly integrated to the chat.
But in fact clip integration was disabled, even though the integration system "tried" to work only for giving me the "A problem happened" treatment. I'm sure many streamers wanted clips visible in the chat of their channel only for the thing to not work because an option wasn't turned on. -

Agreed. I love watching streams, but I hate twitch and how hugely incompetent they are.

hugely agree. i tried publishing a clip multiple times over the span of 2 days, using 3 browsers and re-installing/clearing my cache, and waiting hours in between in case it was a server-side issue. in the end, i figured it was because my clip contained music. just tell me it's a copyright issue so i can stop wasting my time.
