Is this true? Rich's spare time > Twitch's entire team?


Problem is monetizing there streams. It costs money to provide for them so they need something in return. In general i would say using rich his tool is smart, but killing twitch also. Which will mean twitch has to respond to this richtool if usage would become more frequent. If u like streamed esports, best is to be patient to let twitch sort it out on there own terms and accept the lag.

Peeps using it are killing esports, although i understand they want a lagfree stream^^


How is this "killing esports" exactly? It's just a change in how Flash player accepts the data stream. The stream still comes from Twitch, the ads still come from Twitch, etc, there's not really anything different in that regard.

I replaced the download with a newer version that is less spammy on the console window and shows some throughput stats.

You are just so amazing. Always contributing amazing stuff to the community. While I will try this out, I'd also like to ask what you think about the following:

http://www.bananaconda.net/2013/05/how-to-fix-lag-on-twitchtv-vimeo-and.html

My connection doesn't lag all too often, but it does happen from time to time. I will try it out and give feedback if I happen to watch a streamed-tournament (not just occasionally but a larger tournament, so the feedback is appropriate)

That guide doesn't do anything for Twitch, they run their own CDN and don't rely on L3 / XO (except for mobile streams and certain rare scenarios). It keeps getting posted which is quite annoying as if anyone did any testing they would see the IPs mentioned in that guide are never accessed when watching Twitch.


Hi R1CH,

The only reason my post is still up is because I keep getting comments on the youtube video for it from people in Europe and Germany about it fixing their lag completely. The results are however 50/50. Regrettably I cannot do traceroutes or use wireshark from all of their locations. I do monitor the posts and the youtube video closely and have considered it's removal only based on your own credential disapproval. When I stop seeing results, it will be removed.

Hey R1CH ive been testing this thing for 2 days on quite a different number of streams.
This works to an extent in Player streams, sometimes I suspect its the placebo efect. But it feels better, less shuttering etc.
This does not work (at least for me) if the lagg is comming from a high view count twitch tv channel, like a tournament and such.

my pc is kinda crappy thou so maybe the procesor is not good enough to handle your code at an eficient level.

Look at the context for that post, he was talking to someone who was talking about using ghostery to block that stuff.

I keep having this problem. http://gyazo.com/bd79c0e04c683f185d0df23417952198.png

Already checked all but I cant find a reason, it seems there is nothing like firewall or antivirus activated, i really dont know what to do, some tips?


btw, there is something really wrong going here with my connection on twitch.tv
I used to watch it sometimes in 720p, most on 480 and rarely on 360p.
But now it lags terribly in 240p, it's unwatchable, spiking 5 seconds and reproducing less than one
checked in another pc on sabe connection, same issue

speed test going ok

help me oracle

Thanks to both of you,

R1CH, yours was working for a bit and I understand your reasoning behind why the BananaConda thing shouldn't work and yet for reasons I have yet to discover, it worked for me thus far.

I will run some tests on my side and see what I can come up with in order to have a stronger point for it.

Thanks again guys <3 you are both heroes on this day.

Been using the proxy for a couple days. It seems to be running fine, but I don't see any improvement. I am starting to get the feeling that my ISP is the culprit. AT&T claims that they don't throttle, but I can't watch any streams at 720p or 720p+ except in rare occasions where there is nothing happening on the stream other than music.

Very frustrating.

Went from 720p being unwatchable on most streams to 1080p having no lag.

Unfortunately doesn't fix things for me x.x, still stuttering even at 480. TWC NYC is the worst.

Is there some way to fix the buffer with VODS on twitch? For me its 100 times more urgent than live lagging. You literally have to buffer for 2 hour to watch a VOD even for a little while.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL
