Twich videos that are not Destiny 2

[ghost]

Sometime videos are shown where the streamer is not playing destiny 2. My guess is they are having a recovery service carried out while they are streaming another game.

Sometimes the thumbnails show something else, but the timestamp would take you to when the match was played.

Other times? Yeah, there's not one instance of them playing Destiny 2.

[ghost]

No, I watched the videos, not destiny content - these videos are all diffrent games, its not just the thumbnail

Also seeing the same issue. Some clips are perfect - recent comp match against a streamer, iron banner, etc. Most other clips are of random people playing Rocket League, Guitar Hero, etc.

Same nothing but someone playing valorant

They're false-positive matches. In the interest of finding as many Destiny clips as possible, the app attempts to match all the names linked to a Destiny account against Twitch names. The site finds more clips than it would if it just checked for explicitly linked Twitch accounts, but it also finds a lot of clips from accounts that don't actually match. There are a few paths forward, high on my list are:

• allow user to flag false-positives so they go away and don't come back
• allow user to opt to use the narrower search of only Twitch accounts that players have explicitly linked

@chrisfried Is this caused by user/{membershipId}/partnership API that provided linked Twitch account is no longer available on bungie's end?

[chrisfried]

@nazimamin Yes, that was the reason for switching to a broader search which is prone to false-positives. However, Bungie has since re-implemented Twitch account linking to support Prime Gaming rewards.

I recently, silently switched the site over to only looking for those explicitly linked accounts. Which I suppose means I can close this ticket…
