MtG:O Drafts cutting off to early

Two of the twitch.tv drafts cut off before they should finish, namely the "AVR Sealed May 18th, 2012" and "Draft & Sealed May 10th!" drafts.

Apologies if this has been previously mentioned and I understand if nothing can be done or if its overly difficult to fix.

Further apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

How do you mean cutting off early? How early?

They both stop playing exactly 2 hrs into the video, but there's no 2nd video like there should be.

Yeah like the amativeness said they both just stop dead, one mid game, the other during side boarding and I'm sure when I watched the "AVR Sealed May 18th, 2012" not too long ago (not live though, timezones :( oh well) it was all there.

Whaa? Suck.

I don't know if we can recover that. Let me see.

If it can't be recovered on Twitch.tv itself, I will be able to help, since I've downloaded every draft for easier viewing.

'Draft! June 21st, 2012' & 'Draft! June 29th, 2012' also cut short now, same issue I'd imagine, I have backups of these if needed, Don't know how I'd get them to you but still...

I've sent you a private message with a location you can retrieve the missing files from as a 7zip-archive.

The missing parts of those are also included in the archive for Graham.

I have had this issue but if I just reload the page I get the rest. Once I reloaded and paused it early and then just skip over the 2 hour mark, to 2:00:06 I missed you tapping a land.

The problem is not about being able to play parts that are there, but that Twitch.tv has deleted the second parts of older videos, because they were not marked to keep (or Twitch.tv has mistakingly deleted them anyway).

If you are somehow able to play videos past the first part of those listed with a running time of only the first part (2 hours and some seconds), then perhaps Graham can contact them to reinstate access to the missing parts.

The video from July 12 is now also missing its second part.

I have had it cut out at the two hour mark on numerous occasions but always when trying to watch a video less than a week after posting it. I dont know if this is a separate issue but the solution that always worked was to just reload the page and it would load the whole video. Sometimes I had to reload a couple of times. If I reload it and then try to skip to just before the two hour mark it normally cuts out again, if I reload and skip just past the 2 hour mark it continues to play.

Yeah that's a different issue with twitch, this issue is that some of the videos no longer even have a past two hour mark, even the length shown by twitch on the lrr twitch page is only a few seconds longer than 2 hours.

Thats how they showed up for me too, but when I reloaded them the rest showed up.

Lord Hosk, please try to play the videos from the dates mentioned in this thread, if you strongly believe that it is the same issue, because then Twitch.tv has an error that needs to be fixed. It may be an issue with inconsistent replication across servers.
However, Twitch.tv automatically deletes videos after a certain number of days, if they are not marked to be kept. Why it is not automatically applied to all parts by default, I don't know.

Parts of the Desert Bus 5 stream also were missing / deleted after about a week.
