Download VODs via API or other means

Thanks for the link. Although it seems to intend to allow downloading Clips, where my “project” was more about VODs (unless I missed something there).

Good point, thats my pre coffee can’t read talking
Probably need a separate uservoice for doing that via the API. (There probably already is one, I just don’t have it’s link to hand)

Since right now it’s a manual task if you are an editor. (It’s not always a good idea to chop automatically in case you end up slicing a cutscene in half or something)

@Kymroth

From my tests, when uploading a VOD from my own Twitch channel to Youtube, I can only directly upload and not split the video into segments from the Twitch UI. But maybe it’s because my VOD is only 3 minutes duration?

probably yes. I believe what usually happens is a editor will make the vod be split into as many highlights as needed of the required length and upload those to YouTube from Twitch via the inbuilt connection.

@Kymroth

Allow adding an appropriate thumbnail for the VODs on Youtube

That’s youtube API

@Kymroth

Automate the upload (to some extent / based on rules / ?). (But maybe Twitch would not allow that kind of automation since it ‘leaks’ the content out of their platform).

YouTube API too

Basically you just need the ability to get the VOD from Twitch (automagically) then you can do what you want since most of what you describe is YouTube API not Twitch API.

Made the uservoice Extend videos API to allow editors (and above) to automate downloads – Twitch UserVoice

Side note: I’m a huge fan of your work by the way man, as a long time viewer of the CohhCarnage channel.
Some of the features you have are really impressive (the pixel detection for cut scenes, to mention one among others).
