UPDATE: This extension has been discontinued. As a result of Twitch changing their video system to HTTP instead of RTMP, this extension does not help nearly as much and will actually cause problems for some people instead of improving things.

+ Show Spoiler +
In my quest to reduce the amount of lag I experience on Twitch streams in Europe, I discovered that the European Twitch servers seem to perform worse than the US servers for me. So I developed a Chrome extension that uses some proxy trickery to try to redirect your connection to a US Twitch server. This has resulted in a massive improvement in my ability to watch Twitch lag-free. Maybe it will for you too! Give it a try!

Version 2.0 (2013-11-25):
No longer conflicts with any other proxy extensions such as Mediahint, Hola, etc. Yay!

Install:

Firefox is no longer supported.

If enough people use this, surely NA will suffer the same problems EU does?

Also, will this work on my phone?

Trying it out right now

Your Experimental Twitch Proxy stopped working like 2 months ago for me though.

Not sure if this is supposed to be the result and if this is even possible but I can watch in 1080p whereas I usually had to scale it down to ''high'' (mostly 720p i assume). Thanks a bunch, R1CH!

shouldn't it be possible to ship the pac file with the extension and link it internally? a possibly arbitrary proxy configuration script based on some url isn't something i'll trust entirely.

and who is running that proxy? are they collecting the subscription tokens of people who have a subscription?

aside from all of that, it doesn't seem to help me in particular; still getting the usual lags.

Which ISP do you have Rich? Mine is UPC living in Eindhoven.

I have used the vlc mobile_high fix and that sometimes helps, not always since when VLC starts being more than 20 sec behind real time it starts lagging way more.

Thanks, trying the proxy extension right now.

You may want to add a disclaimer that this should only be used if you trust R1CH. Since this is a proxy all your cookies are sent to his server and could be used to hijack your user session.

For some reason the stream is lagging more on high than before, although Source is almost lagfree.

Thanks for the great add-on, will definitively be used!

How telling it is about Twitch EU infrastructure that I get better viewer experience by using servers that are thousands of kilometers away from my place than the one next door...

This fix made all twitch streams watchable again for me, whereas before I could not watch anything without lag, even on some of the lowest settings...
