I dunno if this is a fluke or if this program works, but I'm running 720+ BTS stream now. This is rarely possible for me. Need more time to see if it's a fluke or program.

If it works or not, thanks R1CH for the effort!

Any chance we could get the source for this? I don't have twitch lag problems (my internet's so bad I only watch on 360p anyway) but I'm interested in the implementation.

NP if not, I figured it was worth a shot.

Thanks for investing time in this, hopefully it helps people! :D

EDIT:

Just gave it a try anyway:

1) It works in that it shows console output, Win7.
2) As I said, I use 360p because I have bad internet. 720p+, 720p are both still unwatchable. 480p is watchable with occasional lag, as ever. 360p is as fine as it ever was.

It might not be massively helpful feedback, but it's feedback nonetheless!

When I run the .exe and load up a stream I get this. I tried three different streams with the same result. When I close the program the stream works fine.

Absolutely fantastic job, I'm able to watch IdrA in 480p on my poor quality internet connection with very minor lag. You're doing God's work sir.

I'll try it out, getting no lag today though so will have to wait for the next large tournament.

Normally do not watch 720 because of video and audio stutters (even my broadband is actual 7mb/s) so normally i watch 480p.
For the sake of the test I tried "twitch proxy" and the result was more than bad - streaming was slowed down to the point that I could see only one "picture" every 5-10s.

Will do more tests and will let to know about results.

Thanks a lot R1ch

Have not heard of any big Military operations lately so I don't think so.

I won't be publishing source code since it's awful, this is just an experiment after all.

Hmm, after few restarts the stream at 720 looks improved, it just have a hard time to start the stream.Out of curiosity gonna try 1080 :D

I can tell you that watching twitch streams via the vlc player got rid of almost all the lag, I was watching mlg lag-free.
edit: just to confirm your flash player suspicion

I wondering if would be possible to add an option where i could adjust the percentage for windowing size once the stream is already on? Or if the program would find the most consistent bitrate.

It seems like it is working for me, it takes ages for the stream to load tho. Nothing to do with your proxy it was the same yesterday. It looks like this in the black window

10060 means the connection failed due to a timeout. Make sure you aren't blocking anything and try turning off any 3rd party firewall / security / anti-virus software.

I'm pretty sure this just fixed my lag lol. I've only checked a couple of streams so maaaybe it's just random, but usually my video lags at 1080p+ and now it doesn't.

Turned off everything i could think of, lets just say its my ISP, and I just have to sit and wait for the stream to connect a few minutes. Not the biggest problem.
