So, Twitch has started cracking down on the use of their private GraphQL API in a few parts.

• Chat downloading works again, for now. It could break again any time really.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/lay295/TwitchDownloader/compare/1.50.5...1.50.6

Sorry for the spam releases/updates. Once stuff is fully stable it should slow down.

1.50.3/1.50.4/1.50.5

• DARK MODE THEME! Will probably change some in the future. (Thanks @ScrubN!)
• Separate Linux GUI linked in readme, go check it out (Thanks @mohad12211!)
• Fix other 404 erorrs
• Fix more position issues
• Fix VOD queueing up
• Fixed Inter overriding system installed font
• Fixed Zero Width Emote spacing
• Fix some overflowing text
• Fix donation button crash

1.50.2

• Scaling and spacing should be better now. Feel free to open an issue if you notice anything weird.
• Sub messages fixed
• Added falling back to GQL whenever the v5 chat API goes offline

1.50.1

• Scaling and spacing should be better now I lied
• Fix 7TV 404 error
• Added Inter as the default font
• Twitter emotes are now embedded in the program
• Allow selection (and unselection) of thirds party providers for chat download embed (thanks @ScrubN)
• Added a filter to filter messages based on usernames (thanks @IS2511)
• Provided video quality in CLI doesn't have to exactly match (thanks @lucasfbn)

1.50.0

Refactored Rendering + Caching Code Some

• No longer has a step required where it has to generate thousands of temp images
• Frame generation no longer depends on the previous frame, so can selectively render only part of a chat JSON
• Added support for Zero Width emotes from BTTV and 7TV such as SoSnowy
• Added support to filter out some chat badges for example No Audio/Visual badges (because I hate them)
  
• Partial Transparency bug should be fixed
• The file caching has been rewritten to better handle locked files and corrupted data so errors like these should stop happening

Download chat as HTML

• Dunno thought it would be cool, not a frontend dev though :(
• You can also embed emotes into this too in case the emotes go offline eventually

Re-did the UI a bit

• I didn't really want to do this, but ever since one of the .NET upgrades the old theme I was using was causing a ton of errors while developing. Sorry.
• It seems the new numeric up and downs don't let you manually enter a value to change it's internal value. I'll fix that next update.
• I also added an NVIDIA NVENC H264 codec profile you can give a try. Should lessen the burden on your CPU encoding. Be aware that without some kind of driver patch consumer GPUs only support up to 2 NVENC sessions and I think Shadowplay is included in that count. So probably shouldn't try and Task Queue with it.

1.40.9

• Add some basic issue templates by @Oondanomala in https://github.com/lay295/TwitchDownloader/pull/288
• Fix emojis for non-windows systems by @slch in https://github.com/lay295/TwitchDownloader/pull/304
• Moving the rest of projects to net6.0 by @slch in https://github.com/lay295/TwitchDownloader/pull/305
• Parallel chat downloads by @Hiumee in https://github.com/lay295/TwitchDownloader/pull/310

Notes for 1.40.7

Migrated a missed kraken endpoint to GQL (whoops)

Notes for 1.40.6

Fix downloading clips with expired/deleted VOD

Notes for 1.40.5

Moved off v5 Kraken API to GQL API

Windows release is larger because it's been moved from .NET Framework to .NET 6 and I chose to bundle the runtime because it's not installed on Windows by default.

Fixed another null exception

Fixed instant queue crash

Notes for 1.40.2

Fixed crash trying to render highlighted messages
Cheermotes should show proper tier image, and now supports channels with their own cheermotes

Notes for 1.40.1

Fix 7TV animated emotes with the webp file extension - Thanks @goldbattle!

Notes for 1.40.0

Fixed incorrect chat render colors on Mac - Thanks @n18abdel!
Chat download/Clip download on CLI no longer requires ffmpeg - Thanks @Choromanski!
Attempts to grab unmuted VOD if age is less than 24 hours (Will only likely work ~8 hours after VOD ends)
Fixed some emoji sequences including skin tone modifiers and country flags
Fixed highlighted messages not showing
Added chat badge option to chat render
Attempted to fix RTL languages

Added a queue system, you can search for VODs/Clips by channel, paste in a list of VODs/Clips, or at each of the download/render sections you can queue up 1 item at a time. It might be confusing, but I tried to make something that I think is flexible.

For example, want to download the top clips of the month from a certain streamer, including downloading + rendering chat?
You can do queue it all up very quickly
