Description

Twitch has recently changed past-broadcasts to now include currently broadcasting livestreams. This breaks archiving scripts such as tubeup because it will download an incomplete stream. Please update twitch:videos:past-broadcasts to filter out currently broadcasting livestreams or alternatively add an option to filter them out.

In the above log, I used the "dreamhackcs" channel as an example because at the time of writing this, they are currently broadcasting and v491374727 is incomplete. To reproduce this in the future, you can find some currently broadcasting channels on twitch.tv in the "RECOMMENDED CHANNELS" section.

You might be able to add --match-filter '!is_live' to skip still broadcasting vods
Windows may need double quotes: --match-filter "!is_live"

Hopefully this helps!

Thank you @ualnwe, that worked perfectly.
