How to get the game info playing in VOD?

No, the v5 API did not provide everything necessary for this.

There will be some data sources that may have some overhead on the backend that isn’t justifiable if negligible amount of devs need that data, where as if there’s a substantial 3rd party demand for that data then it may be more viable for Twitch to consider how best to implement it. So please don’t just assume that Twitch should magically know what demand there is/isn’t without 3rd party developers using UserVoice just because Twitch is a ‘large corporation’.

It’s so weird. All developers need approximately the same minimum set of functionality. Getting animated preview images, video resolution, video FPS, game information. However, developers now have to explain why they need it
