As of today Chrome crashes instantly when opening a stream when Twitch proxy and Twitch.tv Europe Lag Fix are active.
When I don't run Twitch proxy there are no crashes.

Same here. Using the proxy instantly crashes Chrome for me too.

This thread is not about the experimental proxy, just the extension.

i dont know why but the extension seems to have stopped working for me. Worked perfect yesterday but today i get the same lags i used to get before the extension. I already tried reinstalling it but nothing seems to work.

Do you still get the extra information showing in the bar at the bottom?

Initially I do, but after switching the quality the additional infos disappears and it's back to the usual "Source" "High" etc.

Just tested on http://en.twitch.tv/taketv:

Source (1080p, 2537 kbps, video9-1.ord01) => Medium (480p, 800 kbps) => High (Twitch-button)

Refresh:

High (720p, 1600 kbps, video9-1.ord01) => Source (1080p, 2571 kbps, video6-2.ord01) => Low (360p, 350 kbps, video 15-2.ord01) => Source (1080p, 2368 kbps, video 15-1.ord1) => 720p, 1600 kbps, video 18-2.ord01)

Strange, in the morning I only could switch the quality one or two times before it was back to normal, so I had to refresh the stream. Also the lag is now gone, maybe just a hiccup.

The plugin doesn't seem to be working for me neither.
In the past 2 days i've been lagging a lot on twitch, thought it was my computer so i tried on my laptop and it's the same with or without the addon.
It still shows the info in the bar but after changing quality 2 times it doesnt show anymore.
Just registered here to give you some feedback, if you need anything else just ask, is the least I can do.

Just posting to say I have been using this for roughly 2 weeks now and it has been working perfectly. The past 2 days however it feels like it doesn't work anymore, I often get buffering where I didn't before on multiple streams. The bitrate is still being displayed so I guess maybe twitch changed something on their end?

Same as above, the extension does not seem to work anymore. It says "disconnected" when I start it and not the usual rambling of kb's, so this leads to source lagging for me.

The .exe you are running is not part of the extension and is not needed.

what is it that makes the firefox connect trough the proxy? is it only the http://r-1.ch/twitch.pac in the automatic proxy config? it only works sometimes on twitch which is quite frustrating and i don't know why.

edit: i just figured out that it was my antivirus(bitdefender) that blocked http://r-1.ch/twitch.pac. now it works thank you.

This worked perfectly for me until last night. Now the lags are back although I can see the extension work, the additional numbers next to the resolution indicator are displayed properly. I hope this gets fixed in case other users experience the same and it's not something on my end only.

Thank you R1CH, you rock!

The chrome extension stops working when you install another proxy extension, such as any youtube unblocker or a "VPN" extension.

Is there any solution to this? Is there an easy fix to restrict those extensions to i.e. youtube.com?

Edit:
Found a workaround, for those wondering. All those extensions seem to reset all proxy settings on every page load to "system" settings, so I just went to their reset function and replaced that with the content of twitch.js from OPs extension. Not very pretty but works for now at least.

Is this still working for you guys? Because it seems it stopped working for me. Bitrate is no longer being displayed.

Edit: Forget about that, it's working now. Thanks!

Extension worked perfectly until last weekend. Before there was lag on medium without extension, with extension lag-free on source. Now it's the other way round, any idea why ?

Same here. Since today i'm having heavy lag to the point where the streams don't even load when i have the extension active. Had to deactivate it. Seems like maybe twitch did something to prevent the extension from being used?

I just published version 2.0 of the extension which works without requiring a proxy autoconfig file, meaning it's fully compatible with other PAC extensions such as Mediahint, Hola Unblocker, etc.
