Clips occasionally have no vod information

Sometimes the clips API returns a clip that has no vod information attached - like the following. Notice that vod id is empty string, and vod url isn’t valid.

Bump - any interest in fixing this? This is very common - seems to happen in something like 5 to 10% of clips returned.

I was on vacation. Thanks for bumping! I’ll chat with the team and see what’s up. :slight_smile:
