Searching videos by game is broken for video chapters

This is a continuation of this thread, which was auto-closed without getting any response, but I figured it deserves its own thread and hopefully not another 30 days of silence: API is missing information about video chapters

This bug affects both the API and the website itself: If you filter by a game, only videos matching these criteria are found:

  • video has no video chapters and the game is the filtered game
  • videos does have video chapters and the very first video chapter is the filtered game

The bug is that videos matching the following criteria are not found:

  • videos that have video chapters and any other than the first chapter is the filtered game

Here’s an album illustrating the problem on the official Twitch website: https://imgur.com/a/mo21zwO

And here’s an API call illustrating that the API behaves the same:
