When trying to render out the chat (only for a few older vods) I keep getting this error:
ERROR: The JSON value could not be converted to System.Int32. Path: $.id | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 36.

I tried the chat updater but it instantly crashes the application.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is a link to the json file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LNtvJDXowB3J_YaxwkmSvrVQF91LYVkx/view

Just figured out a fix! Just needed to remove the quotes around the id number.
For example, it was:
{"streamer":{"name":"sodapoppin","id":"26301881"}

And I changed it to:
{"streamer":{"name":"sodapoppin","id":26301881}

dont know anything about this stuff so im pretty hyped that I figured it out haha

Was the json file created by an older version of TwitchDownloader? If so, this could be a problem for other users too.

thanks, this solved my issue. It is a problem with json files generated by old TwitchDownloader. It should be noted in common errors.

It should be noted in common errors.

The user should not be expected to modify their json files. I will implement a fix in the deserializer.
