It would save a lot of time if you could download VODs by entering just the channel name in the search box. This is implemented in TwitchLeecher, but I don't like to use it because of its limited functionality. I see it like this: I enter the channel name into the search, and the program gives me all the streams that were. (Twitch stores videos for no more than two months, so I don't think there will be too many videos in the results) I click a button, and the video is added to the queue with the option of downloading and rendering the chat. Additionally it would be nice to tag videos I've recently downloaded if I regularly download new VODs of some streamer. "Download new videos and chats" button?

I think that this function is absolutely necessary, since it happens that when it is live, many streamers do not have their transmission listed and therefore there is no VOD link. Being able to download the broadcast by simply putting the channel link would be excellent.

When a VODs is unpublished, a user access token from the broadcaster or a channel editor is required to access it. This includes streamers who set their default VOD visibility set to unpublished. Downloading a live stream as it is being broadcasted is a different story that may be possible in the future, but for the time being this is also not currently possible.

I wasn't aware of that, thank you very much for clarifying it.
