Original 1080p HLS does not appear sometimes, and reloading the tab duplicates each time the apparent video length.

Sometimes closing the Chrome browser and reopening it solves it for that season but not definitely fixed.

The time duplicating I wouldn't worry about it too much, it should still be correct duration after downloading. The 1080p problem didn't happen for

me. I looked in Firefox and ungoogled chromium, although sometimes the stream detection came up empty in ungoogled chromium.

I just had to reload and the streams were detected.

I doubt you can play it with Chromium, since Twitch doesn't work with Chromium:

This video is either unavailable or not supported in this browser. (Error #4000)

Turns out Chromium is lacking codecs like h264, so special editions have to be downloaded:

Now it works, it must be a Google Chrome bug.
