So today for some reason the embed method I was using was embeding the wrong channel.

I have on an HTML page the following code.

```
<div id="video-container">
          <script src= "http://player.twitch.tv/js/embed/v1.js"></script>
          <div id="player"></div>
          <script type="text/javascript">
            var options = {
              width: "100%",
              height: "100%",
              channel: "archonthewizard",
              autoplay: false,
              theme: "dark"
            };
            var player = new Twitch.Player("player", options);
          </script>
        </div>

```

For some reason it was not embeding the correct channel, but the channel [https://www.twitch.tv/hungecotto](https://www.twitch.tv/hungecotto)

What could the problem be?

Thanks in advance

Hey,

apparently this is a known bug that is awaiting a fix.  
For now using https instead of http, should work as a temp fix iirc.  
(no guarantee tho)

Thanks. Yes as you mention using https is doing the trick.

Weird bug, hope it gets fixed soon.
