When trying to reload an video from an sub only streamer I get this. Screenshot 2022-05-10 193743

The API is still working. Try with another browser, or maybe the video is old. You can also check if there was a network error, the API request blocked, an extension that blocked the request...

You can send me the video link, I'll check it on my side

Oh yeah thanks man, I'll send the link here.

The twitch channel is Dutch tho, idk if that would be the problem.

I tried this VOD but it seems the extension doesn't work on the entire channel. Don't know why the method to watch sub-only VODs doesn't work on this specific channel. There is no fix available for now sorry.

I don't think this issue is the same as the author. It's more related to the issue https://github.com/besuper/TwitchNoSub/issues/7

i suspect as @besuper is saying, i tried this with old videos like a month or two old and i got this same grey play button. on fresh ones, it works.

so, can we "detect" if the link is dead so that the user can be informed about it?

This is a good theory but this is specific to the channel. If you try a recent VOD of this channel it will not work. I don't know why but it's impossible to fetch VOD for some channels.

this users videos are working for me Screenshot_20220707_165721

while this https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1475194277 does not work, as it appears, none of the videos of this user works confirming @besuper 's idea that the channels itself might have something to do with it.

This issue should be fixed with commit https://github.com/besuper/TwitchNoSub/commit/4b78730ec5fd412eb3dd58ee67221e03e0e62676. The problem was that VODs have a different broadcast type, and the extension only supported the "archive" type. The entire twitch channel has "highlight" VOD type. Stream URLs are different between types.
