Adding ZSR runs to speedrun.com

So as you probably know, there are two separate leaderboards for this game, the one on this site and the one on ZSR (http://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/leaderboards/oot/). Many people submit to both, but a lot of people submit to one or the other, so I'm trying to add all the runs from ZSR that aren't currently on this site. That way at least one of the leaderboards is mostly complete.

For now, I'm just adding the times and not worrying about the vods. The twitch vod embedding on ZSR is currently broken, so theres no way to recover the vod url without going to the runner's highlights and finding it manually. On top of that, twitch recently (within the last year I think) changed all the vod urls from /c/ or /b/ to /v/ with different numbers. So basically it's a pain in the ass, but I plan on getting around to that eventually.

If you notice any obvious errors feel free to pm me. I do a lot of this at 3 in the morning so I'm sure I'll make some mistakes. Also, if for whatever reason you don't want your runs on here, let me know.

I also plan on adding in all the old world records for each category so that the record timeline thing on the game stats page is accurate

Submit to both, at least for now. A poll was taken a little while ago regarding where people want the leaderboards to be, and the majority said to exclusively use speedrun.com. But further action toward that won't be taken until all missing times from ZSR are ported here. Which is what Alaris is saying he is working on. As am I.

You don't have to if you don't want to. I was just saying that some people submit to one and not the other and the result is that neither leaderboard is accurate. So, i'm trying to fix this by adding the zsr runs to srcom. In the end, I want srcom to be complete, so if you had to pick one I'd rather you submit here.

Muted Audio on Twitch Highlights

Recently, many longer runs submitted as Twitch highlights have had parts of their audio muted due to Twitch's automatic copyright detection, the most frequent case being long sections of Lost Woods music. Some vods will even give a network error at these parts which can cause several minutes of foot
