Livestreamer gives a "No streams found at this URL" for one VOD, but works on others #1066

It wont open this, but will open prior VODs and VODs archived after this on the same channel. It's really bizarre.

Hmm, not too sure why it is unable to open that particular VOD, if you still wish to watch the VOD, I was able to get the m3u8 URL manually:

Thanks for the reply. This probably sounds stupid but is there a way of recording a stream between specific timestamps? As it is, I just output it to an FLV file and it's gigantic. Is there a way to specify what part to record?

I've had some problems with Twitch. The livestreamer has reported that the stream is offline, even though it really is not. Retrying has usually worked fine, so I guess its a problem on Twitch's end.

I have a repeatable example case for this! It will go away in a couple weeks I think, since past broadcasts get flushed out that often: http://www.twitch.tv/richshay/profile/past_broadcasts

That stream quite regularly will go down after a bit and the VOD get split up in two parts. The first part livestreamer has no problem fetching, the second one it won't, no matter what. Youtube-dl will download those second parts, though.

I found the issue here and reported it separately at #1157.
