We have an embedded player displaying a live stream in a demo page and it was working for months until today. Last time we have try it was last week and everything was ok but today, it started returning null with Twitch.Player.getPlaybackStats(). With Chrome for Windows, I got the player video stats dialog fill up properly, but I got nothing under Firefox for Windows. The JS code seems to be ok, it’s really the stats object that is access by getPlaybackStats() seems to always be null.
There is a plan to fix this, yes. The team has it on their list to fix by end of week. They’re busy with the HTML5 player beta, so I’ll keep you posted if the date changes!
