Hey love your tool. Just wanted to check if you could see into the issue- No videos are downloading - by default its tryiing to download chunked quality and looks like twitch is not providing any quality options anymore. So no videos are downloading

Hello I have been using this great tool for more than a year now without issue up until 2 weeks ago, now I can't get Concat to download any videos from twitch at all.
If I try to download the videos in chunked quality without setting the quality option in the terminal it does not work.
This is what I see in my terminal every time now when I try to download.
Contacting Twitch Server
Couldn't find quality: chunked
No available quality options found"
I'm on Linux.

@PenguinRevolution Can you try using -qualityinfo flag and tell me what the result is?

I also can't get the tool to work anymore, same issue as the others. Can't find any quality, either the default 'chunked' or any manual quality settings. Client-ID is being provided.

If you guys are fine with building a go application from source, there is a working fork of mine available here https://github.com/Kirides/concat/tree/large-refactor

There are some differences though, as i started the fork quite a while back and modified the code a bunch.

it's now more convenient to use

  • can pass IDs and/or URLs) to download
  • supports multiple IDs and/or URLs) to download after another
  • downloads straight to a *.ts file instead of combining the parts at the end
  • will retry to download failed chunks a few times before exiting with an error

some drawbacks:

  • does not currently support resuming a download after a pc shutdown
  • consumes a bit more memory the more concurrent downloads are used, as they are stored in memory until they can be flushed to disk
  • 😄1

I think I was able to compile it successfully, but I'm still running in the same issue OP described.
