Trouble with viewing archives with webarchiveplayer #93

I'm having trouble opening twitter archives in webrecorderplayer. These archives are created with Webrecorder. Twitter isn't the only problem I've had but it's my most used site for archiving. Twitter appears to try loading the page but then says "Something went wrong. Try again" like Twitter is actually trying to load instead of browsing the file. Even though it's no longer maintained Webarchiveplayer is able to open the file within seconds and browse successfully. I usually use that for my warc playback but I keep giving Webrecorderplayer a try on every version.

I can't view the archive with webrecorderplayer until I copy the page URL in the app's lower left corner, click help, expand the debug section, open up the app host URL, and finally append the collection link to http://localhost:XXXXX/local/collection. After that it takes around 10-20 minutes to load depending on the size of the warc file.

What's causing the difference between webarchiveplayer and webrecorderplayer? Is there something I'm doing wrong with these archives or any other settings I have to tweak for webrecorderplayer to work?
