Hi,
I just started to livestream my game jam sessions and downloaded the stream videos in order to create timelapse videos. It was already a hurdle to jump through the API hoop in order to access the videos (convert them from flv to mp4 etc).
But setting the hoop on fire by removing the API is nothing I expected. I mean I will still be able to hack something together to access my videos or I will store everything locally as well.
I just don’t see the point. Is access to the API for channel owners too much to ask for? What would speak against it (I might not fully understand the politics behind it).
