Embed is here

Embedding Twitch

@fedepalu2

My request is for when the embedded player point to an expired video, instead to show black, would be good to show latest videos broadcasts. At the moment I solved by doing a page (script) in a my web server where the player point, passing the id in the url so that the script make a redirect to the video if not expired (by checking with api) otherwise redirect to the channel where latest video is show automatically. Thanks

Then you would have to (do as you describe) poke the videos API for the video by ID and see if it’s dead for your self, then decide what to do from there.

Twitch/the embed won’t do it for you

Your post sounds like a feature request not a third party implementation query. Feature suggestions should go to https://twitch.uservoice.com/ what you describe (doing something else on video by VideoID not existing), would be quite a change both for developer (confusion) and Twitch itself.

(Discord/Forums would get a lot of “I put this video ID in and something else appeared instead” as people wouldn’t realise that it does something different (show a different video) on a dead video)
