I used to max two streams and run several more at lower qualities, my net's fine, solid 7mbit down, wired, no jitter/packet loss low ping, it's rare for a low quality stream not to stutter like this and on higher qualities i gave up watching League of Legends entirely after it's a coinflip if i will actually be able to watch a fight or if the stream will freeze and player count go from 10 to 4 before it unfreezes, not fun or exciting to watch any esport game like this at all I could give a ton of different stats, but that would only be useful if the issues were related to my system/isp etc, seems if you want stats from twitch that doesn't work properly you just have to go to almost any PC in western europe and type in the url | ||

Biggest frustration is with the fact they already had these types of problems under their old coding, so they new this was likely to be an issue upon the change, and they did not adequately prepare for it. Even the roll out came sloppily and with little forecasting to the community. Get it together Twitch | ||

Now I use 'Low' and it looks worse, & cant use medium on crappy connections. Sucks twitch is slightly worse now but at least it hasn't been stuttering! | ||

It's been a problem for a lot longer than that Used to use 360p on crappy connections and it looked ok Now I use 'Low' and it looks worse Placebo, low = 360p now? | ||

It baffles me to how much of a screwup this has bee. I use to watch 1080p equivelent streams on one monitor while playing online or other things just fine. Now, I cannot watch anything. I can only rely on Vods now (which run perfect), | ||

I was under the impression that the lag shown in the video by Cyro differed from the new rampant lag. At least for myself, the audio does not continue on while video freezes (which was actually not that bad). With me, when ever I watch any stream (regardless of resolution), it freezes every literally every two seconds. It was just an example, i get all kinds of issues and have done for a really really long time | ||

problem is most leagues force you to pay for source stream. so due to lag, i've stopped watching most starcraft 2 tourneys now. and i hate moba games. so i'm out of esports for now until they get their shit together. | ||

But now 99.99% of streams on SmartTV are displaying Loading channel data... or Loading video... (2 messages, same shit) and stream never loads. TV is using the same wifi connection (which worked good) with my Win7 powerbox, so net is not an issue. (Even more - tv streams normally other provider such as Dailymotion/Gamecreds). | ||
