Someone posted on my twitter feed that downloading the video via twitchtools will give you it with audio intact. No idea if that's true, but worth a shot for anyone who wants to archive something.

There are more than a few streamers that I wouldn't be watching if I couldn't watch their VOD's properly to begin with.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Then all I can say to them is they're really ignorant about the history of the internet. Sad times for people having to rebuild their user base now. :-/
LegendaryLea's videos also have the audio completely removed - http://www.twitch.tv/legendarylea/b/552906671

There's a website called dotaflame that is a HUGE database of dota streamers. You can filter by the streamers or the heroes they play. It's not only a repository for old games but act as evolving guides.
That shit is fucked now.
I dont mind though, there's always porn.

Just so you guys who don't seem to grasp how bad this is understand:
On YouTube, content can be across anything, it's not limited to video games. Twitch only uses video games for their content.
In-game audio, as much as music that's not from games, is getting thrown on the chopping block here. This robot also makes absolutely no differentiation between streamers who actually bought the license to play music on their streams, either.
Twitch is completely going against their content creators with this decision. Every single one of them.
No matter if it's eSports, Let's Plays, Speedruns or anything else. Every content creator suffers from this. This even applies to content that is normally not content-ID'd by the creators of the respective games.

I don't really feel that this is the main issue at least currently. The main issue is Twitch muting legitimate in-game music on VODs. I mean the companies own the content, people shouldn't be playing non licensed music on stream if they're making money from it. I really don't see why that part is somehow wrong.

Apparently the menu screen for The Last of Us uses licensed music because my past broadcasts are muted at the beginning. This sucks, I hadn't had a chance to export them to YouTube yet.

You mean muting gaming videos doesn't make you want to go out and buy music all of a sudden?

They mute in-game music..from the game no 3rd party music what so ever.
Yea, I can't imagine the hassle and headache for people who are deeply invested into Twitch. Still, as you alluded people on the web always find a better way. Maybe it'll be rocky for awhile but eventually things will settle down.

"Google+" is just a fancy name for a generic google account, so it's a complete non-issue.
People who whine about being "forced" to use one are laughable, especially because there's nothing wrong with it.
I'm far more concerned about other issues... Like this silly enforcement of copyright protection, for instance.
YOU KNOW WHAT, the greatest idea.
when some dev casts something, mute it too. You have to twitch! Time to MUTE E3 HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Fucking idiot music lobbyists.
Don't know if this was posted yet.
Hahaha, even their own content, they didn't think this through did they?
Face it Tiger..

RIP twitch.
I'm learning to use OBS/Xsplit now so I can stream, and looks like I'll be moving over to learn hitbox instead.

I take it back this implemented worse than Youtube's when they first did it.
Its not BS its the law. And the answer is "not long" so keep your stuff boxed and packed tight, because if you think hitbox or anyone else can tell the law to go fuck itself so you can stream music you don't have the license to stream, you are horribly mistaken.

Being able to buffer the archives is a godsend, I can rarely get Source-quality streams running smoothly, but that's never a problem with the archives, along with the obvious (and for me invaluable) tools of fast-forwarding and rewinding on the spot.
I'd say watching archived vs live

Holy shit LOL.
Anyways, as a streamer, I guess from now on if you want your streams with audio, you must locally record all of your content.
You should've been doing that already but now it's practically a requirement.

Oh for fucks sake.
I guess I should have seen this coming after the Google acquisition, but sometimes you forget how stupid google and Youtube can be when it comes to this shit.

Mute my audio if old.

This is turning into footloose.

Dammit, too slow.

I'm wondering is it possible to just export the audio portion of the streams through mixlr? Does mixlr have similar content ID bullshit?
