  description

  Battles Replay is the ultimate companion for Twitch and Kick. Download VODs, discover hidden streams, record live broadcasts, and watch with synchronized chat replay - all from a sleek interface that lives right inside your favorite streaming platform.
  
  Whether you're archiving your favorite moments, catching streams you missed, or keeping a rolling record of live broadcasts, Battles Replay gives you complete control.
  
  🎬 VOD DOWNLOADS
  Download any VOD in your preferred quality and format.
  - Quality Selection - Source quality down to 160p, or audio-only for podcasts and music
  - Multiple Formats - Save as MP4, MKV, or TS depending on your needs
  - Custom Time Ranges - Select exactly the portion you want with draggable markers or precise time inputs
  - Flexible Time Parsing - Enter times naturally: "1:30:45", "90:30", or "5430s"
  - Large File Support - Downloads up to 30 GB with automatic chunking for files over 1.2 GB
  
  🔓 UNPUBLISHED VOD DISCOVERY
  Find and download VODs that streamers haven't made public.
  
  Many streamers don't publish their VODs immediately (or at all), but the video data often still exists on Twitch's servers. Battles Replay cross-references stream history data to discover these hidden broadcasts. Unpublished VODs are clearly marked with a badge so you always know what you're looking at.
  
  Perfect for:
  - Catching streams you missed before they disappear
  - Archiving content from streamers who don't save VODs
  - Finding deleted streams that are still accessible
  - Recovering your own unpublished broadcasts
  
  📺 LIVE STREAM RECORDING
  Record live streams with a smart rolling buffer system.
  - Rolling Buffer - Keep the last 1 to 120 minutes of any live stream continuously recorded
  - Buffer Visualization - Visual ring indicator shows recording progress and buffer usage
  - Create Clips - Make clips up to 30 minutes from your buffer with precise start/end selection
  - Save Entire Buffer - One click to save everything you've captured
  - Stream End Detection - When a stream goes offline, choose to save or discard your buffer
  - Auto-Save Option - Automatically save your buffer when streams end
  - Quality Selection - Record in any available quality, from Source down to audio-only
  - Auto Quality - Streams default to adaptive bitrate, auto-selecting the best quality for your bandwidth
  - In-Player Quality Selector - Gear icon in player controls for instant quality switching
  
  The buffer is stored efficiently in memory while you watch, and only written to disk when you choose to save.
  
  💬 CHAT REPLAY

  Battles Replay is the ultimate companion for Twitch and Kick. Download VODs, discover hidden streams, record live broadcasts, and watch with synchronized chat replay - all from a sleek interface that lives right inside your favorite streaming platform.
  
  Whether you're archiving your favorite moments, catching streams you missed, or keeping a rolling record of live broadcasts, Battles Replay gives you complete control.
  
  🎬 VOD DOWNLOADS
  Download any VOD in your preferred quality and format.
  - Quality Selection - Source quality down to 160p, or audio-only for podcasts and music
  - Multiple Formats - Save as MP4, MKV, or TS depending on your needs
  - Custom Time Ranges - Select exactly the portion you want with draggable markers or precise time inputs
  - Flexible Time Parsing - Enter times naturally: "1:30:45", "90:30", or "5430s"
  - Large File Support - Downloads up to 30 GB with automatic chunking for files over 1.2 GB
  
  🔓 UNPUBLISHED VOD DISCOVERY
  Find and download VODs that streamers haven't made public.
  
  Many streamers don't publish their VODs immediately (or at all), but the video data often still exists on Twitch's servers. Battles Replay cross-references stream history data to discover these hidden broadcasts. Unpublished VODs are clearly marked with a badge so you always know what you're looking at.
  
  Perfect for:
  - Catching streams you missed before they disappear
  - Archiving content from streamers who don't save VODs
  - Finding deleted streams that are still accessible
  - Recovering your own unpublished broadcasts
  
  📺 LIVE STREAM RECORDING
  Record live streams with a smart rolling buffer system.
  - Rolling Buffer - Keep the last 1 to 120 minutes of any live stream continuously recorded
  - Buffer Visualization - Visual ring indicator shows recording progress and buffer usage
  - Create Clips - Make clips up to 30 minutes from your buffer with precise start/end selection
  - Save Entire Buffer - One click to save everything you've captured
  - Stream End Detection - When a stream goes offline, choose to save or discard your buffer
  - Auto-Save Option - Automatically save your buffer when streams end
  - Quality Selection - Record in any available quality, from Source down to audio-only
  - Auto Quality - Streams default to adaptive bitrate, auto-selecting the best quality for your bandwidth
  - In-Player Quality Selector - Gear icon in player controls for instant quality switching
  
  The buffer is stored efficiently in memory while you watch, and only written to disk when you choose to save.

  🛡️ PRIVACY & SECURITY
  - No Account Required - Full VOD downloading and playback works without logging in
  - Local Processing - All video processing happens on your device using FFmpeg.wasm
  - No External Servers - The extension communicates only with official APIs and CDNs
  - Sandboxed Storage - Credentials are stored in Chrome's secure extension storage
  
  💡 HOW IT WORKS
  Battles Replay uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly to process video directly in your browser. When you download a VOD, the extension fetches the HLS manifest, downloads segments to temporary storage, merges them with FFmpeg, and saves the final file. Everything happens locally - no video data is ever sent to external servers.
