Topic: Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP error 404 :Not Found

Hi everybody.

I'm having some issues with my SVPtube 2. Indeed it's perfectly working on Youtube but when I want to download a Twitch VOD it shows the error message that you can see in the title. Maybe it is because of some Twitch API modifications since Twitch Leecher (software to dl VODs as well) was also facing some issues with the same error 404.

The reddit post talking about it : https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comment … hen_using/

It's been fixed since with Twitch Leecher 1.8.2.0. Should I wait for the next SVP update or is there any way to manually solve my issue ?

Thanks for your help.

I have checked. I got 404 error too.
Looks like you need to ask youtube-dl developers about the issue.
I can't find open issue at their site:

you can take twitch.py from there - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ytdl- … /twitch.py - and copy it to SVP 4\extensions\tube\youtube_dl\extractor\

Greate! It is working.
After copy this file you can get the same 404 error. You need to restart SVP: exit SVP and launch it again.
