As well as not being able to watch Teamliquid SC2 games during dreamhack was extremely disappointing. If anyone knows of any alternatives to twitch, not a fix to get around twitch sucking but an actual different site all together that doesn't simply stream twitch streams, I would love to know. As far as I've seen most of those have given up (such as Own3d). Azubu is working well for league of legend Worlds. Friend told me about it after seeing this post. Can watch 720 without any issue. | ||

took shot at source, but medium didn't work properly and low stuttered, no other internet usage minutes later, alternate dreamhack stream works fine 720p60 no stutter, booted up other pc and ran it fine there too simultaneously across wireless, again stutter free Can't wait to see what happens when the viewer counts are doubled for worlds finals, though i don't think it'd be a problem because nobody will watch twitch with 240p stuttering | ||

Twitch tv is unwatchable in europe above medium. also, can we please stop talking about resolutions, because they mean nothing, it's all some TV standards that have nothing to do with PCs and web, it was brought into mainstream by youtube and everyone followed suit. Twitch screwd up in europe something this year, and it has nothing to do with the options on the quality selector, whatever names they slap on them. | ||

Low will look different stream to stream and scene to scene (as it always has), i dunno if there's anything changed in terms of bitrate allocation etc. First time twitch in almost a year i've been able to watch without jumping through hoops like r1ch proxy and spam refreshing to get a good server if there's high load, so far at least | ||

/also: Scene to scene doesn't matter anymore. Some picture on low just required the same bandwidth(constantly) as some stream where something is happening and exploding all the time. | ||

On the other hand, people who value the live chat interaction don't seem to be happy. | ||

On the other hand, people who value the live chat interaction don't seem to be happy. I watched like two hours of random streams that i didn't even care about on Source without seeing noticeable frame dropping or freezing due to twitch, a month ago i had two options: Sit on medium, be frozen 10 maybe 30% of the time, sometimes more Use R1CH script, refresh servers a few times to hit a good one. Occasionally with twitch at high load didn't work A month before that, i only really had the first option consistently. Many more did, too. I didn't measure delays and such, but if video >actually works< now, it's kind of more important, chat is part of the experience but video kinda makes or breaks the deal for a livestream | ||

http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/ The twitch.tv flash player never did it for me because I run Linux where flash is sucky as hell and it also does not allow you to control the buffer size. Buffering more data can help when you are connected to a semi-bad server, but if you live in EU and get connected to a US twitch server then you might have to buffer like 2 minutes of stream or sth which is not really acceptable. | ||
