Call a stream directly, it shows as "live" instead of a "watch party" have to use the "channel" with "broadcaster_software" to differentiate at time of writing.

Also not the broken viewers count

[BarryCarlyon]

Additionally: adding ?stream_type=all breaks the viewer count

Calling https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/26610234?stream_type=all

{
"stream": {
"_id": 36705562864,
"game": "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic",
"broadcast_platform": "other",
"community_id": "",
"community_ids": null,
"viewers": 0,

Snip

[tduva]

As you said, this has the broken viewercount:

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/22680841?stream_type=all

But this appears to work:

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/?channel=22680841&stream_type=all

Might be a possible workaround or a clue for fixing it.

[BarryCarlyon]

Interesting, channel as a query string argument is undocumented… Didn't know that was a thing

[tduva]

It's the second variant of /kraken/streams (I'm just using it for a single channel in this case):

[jbulava]

Ticketed internally on GQL-914. There are a couple of questions here; whether reruns was removed intentionally or if they should be included, as well as why the view count is broken and if that should be fixed.

[garyking]

If re-runs were intentionally removed, I'd be interested to know what the reason was. Since of course, it'd be better to include re-runs, and let us filter them out if we don't want them, rather than forcefully removing them, and not letting us retrieve them, at all.

[BarryCarlyon]

As per #216 this issue has reoccured

And this ticket never got marked as "fixed"

[BarryCarlyon]

Issue still occurring

[jbulava]

Closing as this was related to v5.
