Cannot download subscriber VODs

While trying to download subsriber VODs I get the error listed above. I've tried on two separate machines and a few different VOD URLs, but all from the same channel (since I'm only subscribed to that particular channel).

I'm aware that debugging this requires a paid subscription, but I'm hoping since it's twitch that won't be a problem.

extractors for live stream lists (per game/etc) is required for noscript/light www browsers.
That said, I cannot open a new issue anymore on github with a noscript/light browser (probably some recent microsoft rotten work)

Mind elaborating?

I'm not a developer, I just figured I'd report the bug. Are you saying there has to be a livestream list extractor for the twitch extractor to work?

.. and how does Microsoft relate to this..?

There are 2 separate issues, github/microsoft relates to the second one.

twitch issue: I use noscript/light web browsers. Then thx to youtube-dl I can watch streams... but I cannot get the list of live streams (usually classified as a directory of games) since the twitch internet site is script browser only. Currently, I am getting some live stream lists for some games from third party web sites which uses "the twitch api". Then, I was wondering if youtube-dl could extract live stream lists. That, in order to enable a complete noscript/light browser setup for twitch, that based on youtube-dl extraction knowledge.

.. and how does Microsoft relate to this..?

github/microsoft issue: In the github issue system for youtube-dl, I cannot create a new issue with a noscript/light www browser. I have to test if I still can create new issues in other projects hosted on github though.

So, in other words, you issues have nothing to do with the bug I reported.

You're choosing to use a browser that doesn't support javascript, so you instead post your feature-request into my bug report.

May I suggest you set up a browser that supports scripts, with which you can add feature-requests? At least that way you wouldn't have to muck up the todo lists for git projects? =/

If microsoft did not break the support of noscript browsers on github for new issues (was working fine before microsoft took control of it) , I wouldn't have jumped into an issue that "look alike" what I would need from youtube-dl. You don't understand why noscript browsers are so important to support, I was like you a few years ago. That said, I use youtube-dl _because_ I run noscript browsers (it allows me to setup a neat modular browsing experienced). Then: I'll try to contact youtube-dl coders to suggest them to move to a platform which has noscript browser support. I have to apologize to you though: I should have not hijacked your issue, but this browser support red line makes myself behave inappropriately.
