Description
Comments are successfully downloaded from the normal NND site, but issuing the --get-comments flag on a NND livestream does not seem to have any effect. If this can be implemented I'd be extremely grateful.
Links of livestreams attempted:
https://live2.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv327626496 (24 hours)
https://live2.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv327626435 (Japan only, VPN used)
It should be straightforward to get comments saved to the info.json file, however exporting them as danmaku might be extremely difficult depending on the comment format returned by NND's livestream API.
This is linked to #10.
NND does not provide a comment list independently of the stream; the comments are actually streamed to the client alongside the video data itself.
This is also subject to the same restrictions in #10 regarding download speed.
This issue is much, much more complex as a result, since youtube-dl's existing code exists all metadata like comments to be extracted before the media download begins. I'd have to rewrite some of the core logic to get this working
