Twitch have added a clip-function to their videoplayer, which creates an mp4 file out of the live broadcast and embeds it on its own page, ready to be shared with others.

The generic extractor works, but there's metadata available in the webpage that would be helpful in naming the files when downloading.

Example URLs:

https://clips.twitch.tv/ea/AggressiveCobraPoooound
https://clips.twitch.tv/ea/BusyWhaleSeemsGood

Twtich Clips support has been added in youtube-dl 2016.06.14.
