Twitch VODs don't load any rechat subtitle tracks so mpv-twitch-chat doesn't work.

I see you are trying to watch a LIVE stream. Live stream's chat is in a completely different platform (IRC), not static JSON file. Technically we can add support for it, but not at the moment. This filter only supports VOD (past broadcast).

Fortunately, if a channel is currently live, most channel's latest "past broadcast" is exactly that stream. The only problem is that unlike live, the video will not dynamically expand, so you need to refresh from time to from.

Thanks. For some reason I just assumed it would work with live broadcasts as well. Guess I was mistaken.
