The VOD chat replay API is undocumented and not recommended for "public use". Recently Twitch disabled this API for all but certain client ID(s). You need to specify the correct client ID in the option file of this script. For legal reason I can't tell you what ID you should use. Sorry.

Oh tysm! This clears up the problem then. Sucks that we can't use it anymore :<.

Legally, I can only recommend you to go to their feedback forum and vote for a new official API for VOD chat, such as this, though the chance is extremely slim.

However, if you happen to know the client ID required to access the API, the API, at the moment of writing, is still working, since you can still see chat replay from twitch.tv.
