Twitch.tv support - not working

[szunyi]

Downloading videos from Twitch.tv is not working;
[youtube-dl is up-to-date (2013.04.28)]

I try this: youtube-dl http://www.twitch.tv/firmbelief/c/1757457

And i got this:
WARNING: Falling back on generic information extractor.
[generic] 1757457: Downloading webpage
[generic] 1757457: Extracting information
ERROR: Invalid URL: http://www.twitch.tv/firmbelief/c/1757457

Maybe the new twitch design?

twitch.tv is working fine, but this URL uses the its new chapter feature, which we don't support yet. We're working on adding support. We have to basically write a new extractor for chapters, since they don't seem to share any of the infrastructure with other twitch.tv videos. When we get the file, we will also have to preprocess it, since it doesn't seem playable with normal media players. Of course, patches are always welcome.

thanks dude

Updated with basic support for chapters. However, we still download the whole file, and only output the chapter's start and end.

Just in an initial test on this it appears to only get a 30 minute chunk of a >30 minute video. Is this a known issue?

It seems like this was fixed before (#614) and I can confirm that it worked some weeks ago. I tried downloading a video today and I also only got the first 30 min file. Maybe something changed so it broke again?

I can confirm this. I tried to download this video with youtube-dl 2013.08.29, which resulted in a 30:02 min video file (at least VLC says so).

See #614 (comment), it should work in the last version.
