How were you able to find the "operationName": "PlaybackAccessToken" GQL http call before?

What kind of question is this?! By filtering the /gql requests for PlaybackAccessToken of course...

The Twitch plugin had its GQL persisted query sha256 strings replaced on 2025-11-11 in #6720 (8.0.0 release also from November 11th) after Twitch changed them and the old ones stopped working.

Like you've said, today they don't appear to be using the updated persisted queries and are instead sending real GQL queries. There's also a PrefetchPlaybackAccessToken persisted query from what it looks like (which we don't use).

{
    "operationName": "PrefetchPlaybackAccessToken",
    "variables": {
        "login": "CHANNEL",
        "playerType": "site",
        "platform": "web"
    },
    "extensions": {
        "persistedQuery": {
            "version": 1,
            "sha256Hash": "c101f277c6ab7de34f64e63c90d698edae0d83ed5fad8efe198596b472ef3337"
        }
    }
}

As long as the now unused persisted queries from November are working, there's no need to change them in the Twitch plugin, unless we know that they'll stop working soon.
