No, they were partners, any big stream, including major tournaments.
I wonder how long will it take for them to fix it, so you can smoothly watch any quality you want if you have enough bandwidth. I'm having big problems with twitch for like half year already.

This is working incredibly well for me.

Gone from having to watch streams on medium or low to now being able to run my 1080p again.

Superb fix, thanks so much

The red bull stream currently going is blocked using this. I think it is on justin and not on twitch though.

You are a genius sir.

All other fixes have had really no effect for me but this instantly worked and I went from being able to watch 1 stream on medium to 3-4 on source.

Thanks for this. Amazing that somehow twitch is unable to do this properly on their end.

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

Also, will this work on my phone?

Probably not, I'm not positive but I imagine the twitch lag is because of the lack of servers in EU to handle the load, while NA surely has more which should balance the load better.

I need to do more tests but it seems it blocks most of my utorrent traffic, when I close chrome/the stream tab my torrent traffic is back to normal and it stops again if I watch a stream. I didn't test that much tho so it could be a coincidence.

Wow, the solution to EU problems with twitch was moving R1CH to the Netherlands ....

Thanks, as always!

Thx again R1CH.
Any tip for people tired of FlashPlayer and so using VLC/livestreamer for live streams ?

It's working pretty good for me, but right now is the first time I'm having problems.
dreamleague lags terribly even with the plugin.I assume it's not working at all cause it takes a very long time to actually start the stream, and I assume thats the behavior you desribed when the stream isn't partnered. Then again the stream I'm speaking of is partnered (you can select a wide range of stream qualities).

edit: might be a stream issue, as it works perfectly on high. It says "High" and not High (720p, x kbps etc.)

I can confirm that the plugin does not seem to work for some streams even if they are partnered.

Yeah, some partnered streams are still region locked. Not sure what the exact criteria is for when a stream is region locked or not, that's something only Twitch knows. I can confirm that dreamleague is region locked.
