[Feature]: Compatibility with 7TV about livetl HOT 3 OPEN

For extensions like 7TV, YouTube compatibility would entail either implementing their entire extension or them integrating with us so it is out of scope.

Twitch compatibility seems more doable. We currently parse HTML instead of using IRC for twitch chat because we don't know how to handle messages in case the user scrolls through an archive video. Parsing the HTML allows us to avoid having to figure out the API for this scenario. If you know of a way to get currently showing messages of an archive VOD, please let us know as that would help if we decide to add compatibility with 7TV.

Also, we do have compatibility with FFZ since #391 in v8.1.0 if you want to use the custom twitch emojis.

All that being said, it may take some time for feature updates to manifest into the extension. We are currently working on restructuring LiveTL, Hyperchat, and YTCFilter to work together and with MV3 as well as internationalization.

Wow, thanks for getting back to me so quick with such a detailed explanation.

Ah, I hadn't considered archive VODs. That rings a bell, but I don't know off the top of my head. Some research required.

FFZ is nice but 7TV provides a lot more than just emotes. I'm a moderator on a busy channel, and its performance, customisation features and mod tools are really handy. I'm very interested in LiveTL for the same reason, as we get people popping in and speaking other languages often.

Understood. Thanks for letting me know. I've posted an issue on their end now as well: SevenTV/Extension#618

It looks like there is no documented endpoint for VOD chat history. The old v5 endpoint is gone, now we have to use GraphQL: lay295/TwitchDownloader@4ea98fe#diff-29aa56a1114a96ee681c913993d23053b45d2216b044d084dc9fdbc4847cf692R118
