Re: Twitch.tv streams

I get a few issues with Twitch. Some channels I can watch on their "Source" quality and it'll run fine.
Others I have to lower the quality to medium just to watch and even then it still buffers every few minutes. Which of course puts an even longer lag between the stream and the chat box.
I am not entirely sure if its just my internet or Twitch itself but I find I cant hang around there for longer than 10-15 minutes without getting rather annoyed.

When using http://livestreamer.tanuki.se/en/latest/ and VLC it's perfect. Smiley

I have been suffering with flaky twitch streams for months. I tried Livestreamer after seeing your post and the streams are rock steady, thankyou very much Kelly Wink

I'm still seeing some pauses at peak time, but I don't think it's Plusnet:

That's the error chucked out when livestreamer hangs the stream.  Looks like its attempting to load a file that isn't there on twitch's side.
