Download and View Twitch VOD Segments
**ATTENTION**
A lot of stuff is broken right now. I am working on solutions, but this is a free application, and I have a job.
This extension allows users to download sections of a Twitch VOD within the browser.
Now supports viewing deleted VODs from within the browser.
New feature updates demo: https://youtu.be/i3tNqo3SZN8
Deleted VOD recovery is always going to be a shot in the dark. There will be missing segments and sometimes the VOD will not be available at all. No VODs are available after 60 days. Very few are available after 14 days.
If you are getting a hangup on "getting recent stream data" for more than one minute -- contact me directly with the channel information and the specific VOD, and I will attempt to troubleshoot the issue.
Version 2.29 update: (19 Sep 2024)
1) partial patch bringing back SOME functionality on the "recent streams" option.
Version 2.28 update: (8 Jan 2024)
1) Added chat history for VODs which HAVE NOT been deleted/unpublished. Deleted/unpublished chats will NOT be available.
Version 2.27 update: (6 Jan 2024)
1) Small patch which will fix SOME of the issues with retrieving streams.
Version 2.26 update: (26 Dec 2023)
1) Fixed bug introduced in v2.25 that caused miscount in segments.
2) Information update on "find recent vods" option.
Version 2.25 update: (23 Dec 2023)
1) Fixed bug introduced in v2.24 that caused full VOD downloads to fail.
2) Small UI bugfix on the progress download indicator.
Version 2.24 update: (22 Dec 2023)
1) Fixed VOD selection clipping issue where selection timing did not align.
Version 2.23 update: (18 Dec 2023)
1) Bug fixes and minor UI changes.
2) Changed video output to m4v file to help with loading into video editor tools.
Version 2.22 update: (21 Oct 2023)
1) Added ability to seek in video viewer by 10 seconds. Shift+ArrowUp will go forward 10 seconds and Shift+ArrowDown will go back 10 seconds.
Version 2.19 updates: (4 July 2023)
1) Fixed some UI bugs related to displaying the stream date
2) Added discord invite link to menu (discord.gg/sSJsqjKyYg)
Version 2.17 updates: (2 Jul 2023)
1) Fixed issue with retrieving recent VODs
2) Added donation button
Version 2.16 updates: (25 Jan 2023)
1) Changed download to mp4 format
2) Video player now attempts to find the first valid VOD segment before playing. This fixes the hang-up when a deleted VOD is available but has missing segments. This is just a partial fix. It will drop you where the first valid segment exists, but it will not skip over missing segments.
3) Changed the UI behavior. Hovering over the button no longer pulls up the menu. Clicking now opens the menu and you can click from there for further actions.
Version 2.14 updates: (22 Nov 2022)
1) UI improvements
Version 2.12 updates: (21 Nov 2022)
1) Fixed bug introduced in 2.11 where livestream download segment selection caused failure.

Reversion to v1.24 due to stability issues in 1.25
Version 1.25 updates: (5 Nov 2022)
1) Added ability to watch current stream within the VOD viewer. Using this to view the current live stream bypasses ads. This approach is a bit choppy and will have a 10-15 second delay from the stream.
2) Added ability to slow and speed up video player from 0.1x to 3.0x
3) Added ability select quality options on VOD Viewer including audio only
Version 1.24 updates: (28 Oct 2022)
1) Added resolution download options to deleted VODs
2) Bug fixes from 1.23 updates
Version 1.23 updates: (27 Oct 2022)

4) Fixed issue with being unable to watch VODs with muted sections

1) bug fixes and small UI updates.
Version 1.19 updates: (24 Oct 2022)
1) Added ability to download the 20 most recent streams regardless of if the VODs were deleted. This can be run from the main channel or the videos section of a stream but not within a specific VOD.

Latest reviews
- (2024-07-09) かみかつき: Guy, you rock! But I don't know why it can't display the hidden VODs' titles, because you can always get it on Twitchtracker. And it is still unable to find some VODs, even though they are visible in the public VOD list. It would be even better if it could automatically include the VOD title in the downloaded filename, and perhaps even add the VOD chapter information. And it has an annoying bug where it consistently fails to download complete videos. The initial 20 seconds of the VOD are always skipped, regardless of whether the selected range includes the first 20 seconds. Additionally, for longer VODs, it is unable to integrate all segments into a single file, as IDM or JDownloader does. It always saves them as multiple files.
- (2023-12-23) WyccSteams (AlexGoD): Перестало скачивать видео.
- (2023-11-15) Thatthis Genshitsan: Could you add the feature of taking clips from the video?
- (2023-11-06) regin C: work find before. but cannot search or download VOD if got two live stream at the same day or the streamer reconnect after few sec, can only detect the first few second before he disconnect but the second part after reconnect was missing
- (2023-11-03) Eyal Herlin: Very well made extension technically (I would prefer a better UI/UX personally but it's functional and does the job). Remarks: 1. Would be great if there was a mode where you can watch a live stream and go back and forth in it like you can on Youtube. I hate that Twitch doesn't have that feature. 2. the "Just kidding. Watch VOD" option hasn't been working for me for the past week or 2.
- (2023-11-02) Jalen Torrence: worked yesterday, now it no longer seems to retrieve anything, just comes up blank when searching for stream data.
- (2023-10-28) Doge: The call to the sullygnome.com endpoint by clicking the 'Find recent streams' button results in a 'CORS' error, so it basically does nothing.
- (2023-10-26) Alexey Nekrasov: It works! thanks
- (2023-10-22) Aleksandar Jovljevic: Dont work, i check 5 times exactly time part to download, it keep downloading wrong part. So kinda worthless as keep downloading wrong part.
- (2023-10-18) Polypore Inc: One of the best downloaders to get vods that haven't been published yet, isn't working for me today though 😪
- (2023-10-16) EnigmaticRPG: Was great previously, as of yesterday stuck at "getting stream id"...
- (2023-10-15) Tashyncho Sapa: before was working fine, today it is stucked at "getting stream ID" are you fixing something or what
- (2023-10-14) Eaelast: GREAT!!
- (2023-10-08) Masked Guy: It works. I just wish I could see the chat.
- (2023-09-28) Justin Carroll: Doesn't work for me like it did a few months ago. Can't even use the VOD viewer except for the most recent 30 or so episodes. The "Get VOD with Twitchtracker Link" and "Get VOD with m3u8 Link" don't work, won't even copy the link in the box. Same on Firefox. Chrome Version 116.0.5845.190 (64-bit), Windows 10
- (2023-09-22) Mikel: Not intuitive, not user friendly. Would recommend finding an alternative.
- (2023-09-07) Kitsune: Since yesterday, I can only view VODs till the 5th of September. In Firefox it works just fine and is up to date, but in Chrome it stopps - no matter the Streamer - at the 5th of September.
- (2023-09-06) aGerman Mercenary: Hi Andre. I tried to download a vod that was deleted just a few days ago, & was unsuccessful. Should I keep trying using other methods? Or in your expert opinion would you say it's totally gone.
- (2023-09-03) CoffeChipmunk: Worked like a charm.
- (2023-09-01) MohameD OsamA: after the last update if any streamer close the stream and re open it the last stream wont be saved please fix this issue
- (2023-08-29) Ahmed Almosuli: there is a new bug that i found if someone streams and closes the stream and re open it for solving lag issues that last stream wont be saved. and cant be found in the find recent streams menu. please solve it if possible. and thanks for everything.
- (2023-08-28) Lister: Was able to download unexpired streams, tried to download a 20 old expired stream and didn't work, was stuck on getting stream ID load forever after i entered the twitchtracker link.
- (2023-08-24) Mula Official: useful asl glooks. only problem is arrow keys or J and L should rewind and go foward in the video.
- (2023-08-18) Carlos Uribe: Love it, the only problem is that when I try to download certain sections of the VOD, the download doesnt match the timestamps on the VOD. making it useless to download unless you want to go through the whole stream to find it.
- (2023-08-17) VITOKS 5: братан всё работает замечательно но сделай пожалуйста так чтобы видео скачивались с CBR а то редакторы не видят
- (2023-08-15) Szyszy _: A very useful plugin as it also works on hidden vods
- (2023-08-05) ma femme: wmarche très bien
- (2023-08-05) Abimael Ryze: pls add option copy m3u8 to clipboard for firefox, because i can get it on the devtools
- (2023-08-01) I use this to primarily watch a streamer that doesn't have auto-publish on (annoying). I use video speed controller to watch at 2x or higher (some weird issues with it sometimes) and it's nice that I can catch up to live much easier than refreshing the normal vod page, very similar to how youtube lives work in that respect. I have a question, I usually use streamlink to automatically download some vods since my streamer doesn't auto-publish and sometimes he deletes the vod (I've been burned too many times), also helps with muted sections of the vod. I'm wondering if you can continuously download like streamlink but through the vod instead of from the stream, since my streamlink vods have missing data from ads. Could this be possible in theory?
- (2023-07-30) elie ser: It does the job. It downloads the VOD. But the file doesn't work and can't be exported to any video software because it isn't an MP4. Please fix this. I don't see any other reason why someone would need the VOD to not export it to a video software.
- (2023-07-30) _-Voxeliorn-_: Works great, but when you go to properties of the video the details are missing... Maybe this is why it doesn't work in premiere?
- (2023-07-28) Gaawdz: Works as it should, however that you named it mp4 while it actually is MKV was annoying, my editer wasnt able to take Mkv files.. I needed to come here and read the reviews to know why the editor couldnt use this mp4 file.. I hope in time you manage to actually output a MP4 file now i have to conevert it manually.
- (2023-07-27) Jesse: Does exactly what I need it for. Thanks a lot to the developer!
- (2023-07-27) Sebastian J: works as intended
- (2023-07-14) Fogger: IT IS ACTUALLY WORKING!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
- (2023-07-12) michael the mmurr: I don't know if something changed on Twitch's end, but it seems impossible now to view any recent vods from small streamers (<5 viewers) even when they are currently streaming. Using the twitchtracker link for these streams did not work either. Up until recently, this extension worked perfectly.
- (2023-07-11) green boy: Hey man, it works greatly. I was watching an 8 hour vod, and about 20 mins were muted throughout. Is there anyway to unmute them?
- (2023-07-10) Denstrol: Works great for what I need it for! Only one little problem I have with it is that the files don't work in Adobe Premiere until I transcode them in Handbrake. I'm not really sure what the issue is, but if that were fixed it'd be a 5/5!
- (2023-07-09) ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻: New update doesnt show the full vod. For example, the vod I was trying to watch is 4hrs and 10 mins long while it only shows 10 minutes and 7 seconds with the extension. I had no issue with this before.
- (2023-07-05) Paul Koch: DOES NOT WORK !
- (2023-07-04) michael jackson: I do not like this update, I can not see the vods when the stream is still live, does not appear much of the vods in the list, if the stream falls and then try to see the vod by Twitchtracker can only see the part where it fell losing all the rest of the vod, do not know why this update spoiled something that was already good
- (2023-07-03) Still Nasshu: 1.18 update deleted the past 3 days of vods i know it exist because i saw it before i updated the extension is there a way to roll back the update?
- (2023-07-01) unn inn: Sometimes some visual glitches with add-on overlay windows, but otherwise VERY good add-on, simple to use and works as it should ;)
- (2023-06-30) zecardo: Great extension! Thanks
- (2023-06-29) Ahmed Ahmad: There is a new bug and u can't even see the old streams , it is just a blank black window when u click on "find recent streams" it was working fine but it stopped working all of a sudden tried on other browsers and still the same
- (2023-06-25) Alex Syr: Thanks. Hope you continue to support the extension.
- (2023-06-19) Baptiste: I came here after twitch recover no longer working, and this extension is amazing and so simple! Love the "Just kidding Watch VOD"
- (2023-06-08) Evan R: I absolutely don't get it. How come nothing shows up after pressing the "find recent streams" button. It just scans a bit then shows a completely empty tab... Tried it on a dozen other channels and still no streams show up.
- (2023-06-08) Hedy Aziz: I just wish it didnt auto play the vod when i click the button to download it, other than that it works amazingly
- (2023-06-08) Кордис Ди: Works perfectly on unpublished VODs, thank you!
