[Reddit Share] outplayed.tv doesn't contain event name in pretty url and video title

Issues - Platform and API

1

When a video is shared to reddit using overwolf.social.reddit.share, the provided event name does not appear in the title on Outplayed.tv.

Here’s a sample of Reddit share result on Outplayed.tv:
Highlight #League of Legends | Captured by #Outplayed

Here’s a sample of Discord share result on Outplayed.tv for the same video:
PvP Round #League of Legends | Captured by #Outplayed

I’ve seen in Reddit docs that reddit should work with tags and not events, but when I sent the tags field, the reddit url was broken: https://www.reddit.com/invalid_token?url=https%3A%2F%2Foutplayed.tv%2Fmedia%2FDL7Gr%2Flol-pvp%2Bround&token=AQAA9w85X0ipVqZoDc6DD3LdlYaEJjUx-E48ishSmtIAevp3MsGd&app_name=desktop2x&user_id=471447993012

Steps to reproduce:

  1. send reddit.share call with the following parameters"
{
  "file": "file://D:\\Videos\\Overwolf\\Outplayed\\League of Legends/League of Legends_8-16-2020_2-6-20-576\\League of Legends 08-16-2020_2-06-22-522.mp4",
  "events": [
    "PvP Round"
  ],
  "gameClassId": 5426,
  "gameTitle": "League of Legends",
  "title": "Check out my video! #TeamfightTactics | Captured by #Outplayed",
  "subreddit": "clips",
  "trimming": {
    "startTime": 1136507,
    "endTime": 1177391
  },
  "metadata": {
    "mode": "tft"
  }
}

Impact for my app: [low, mid, high, show-stopper]
Do you currently have a workaround?

Please reproduce and attach a zip package of your OW client logs
Please mention the time of the event so we can find it easily in the logs

@shir.brass I want to clarify: is the Reddit share() is working with the events instead of the tags param - or it’s not working at all?

@eransharv it’s already working with events instead of tags, except that tiny issue that we’ve found in outplayed.tv (which is not under our control)

4

@shir.brass I guess that the root cause is a documentation typo. I fixed it.
I am closing the issue.

Thanks!

The problem still persists…

here’s a reddit post I’ve uploaded: https://www.reddit.com/r/clips/comments/if1joa/i_love_yone_check_out_my_video_leagueoflegends/

it includes this link to outplayed.tv: Highlight #League of Legends | Captured by #Outplayed (no event is added to the url’s end & to the video name

using the same parameters as before I tried sharing to discord and got this result:
Kill #League of Legends | Captured by #Outplayed (as you can see, including the kill in the end of the url & the title includes kill)

Ok. so let me make sure that I understand the current status:
Anyway, there was a typo in the docs, and now it’s working with the events param (instead of tags).
Also, it not resolved the main issue - which is that the data from the events, is still dropped - and the clips are uploaded without a title.

Please confirm.

@eransharv yap, correct :+1:

OK. I will have to check that and maybe escalate it to the R&D.
What is the importance/urgency of this issue?

10

somewhere between low and medium
it’s an inconsistency between the various share APIs that we’d like to tackle.
but, a user has complained about the issue, which is why we think it’s higher then low (therefore leaning towards medium)

There is an open bug on it. It’s scheduled for OW client 0.157. So I guess it will be out pretty soon…
I will DM you the link to the bug.
