With livestreamer you can watch source quality twitch streams without lag on your vlc player.
I been watching it like this for a long time because I refuse to install flash player on my computer.

Just type in cmd > livestreamer - twitch url - source (without the - obviously).
If you think you're good, you suck. If you think you suck, you're getting better.

'livestreamer' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

So the instruction is incomplete. I assume it should start at install VLC, install... go to certain place on computer in cmd...

This doesn't work for me any longer. Worked great the first day. Since then I can't load any streams at all with it enabled.

The same streams work (with normal lag) after disabling this extension.

--
Ads still work just fine.

--
Tried it using both built in flash player and adobe flash player, disabling them separately.

Any suggestions?

I have the same problem as you, 20 minutes ago it was working fine, now it doesnt load

Sometimes it loads, but not longer with the quality information and with lag (i guess it conected with eu servers).

Doesn't work anymore
Got my old lag back. And indeed, now you mention it, ads are lag free, always have been actually.

It worked so great until now.
My guess is twitch doesn't want all those Europeans using the wrong server and did something to prevent it and kicked us back to our laggy servers?

Looks like this in proxy program, only the IP changes. It gives up after like 2-3 tries more than in the screenshot.

Edit, removed my windows username from picture.

With the partnered streams where this doesn't work, it doesn't seem to be based on location. I have watched a lot of EU streams where this works. It just seems like WCS, Dreamleague and maybe a few other don't work.

Huge lag for me, too. Does not matter if I use this in Chrome or Firefox. It even seems worse than in Firefox.

this application has fixed the 1080p lag for me, (Below 720p never lagged for me)

Location: Finland
ISP: DNA Finland
Network: 350Mbps/20Mbps

Thanks R1CH, now I can disable my USA proxy to watch 1080p

Best to install it first

http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1osp4m/lagging_on_twitchtv_watch_wcs_on_vlc_player/

Watched Nani-Revival with zero lag earlier with this .bat

@echo

cd c:\program files (x86)\livestreamer

livestreamer twitch.tv/wcs best

@echo off


Test it with a channel name that is online of course.

Yeah it's very weird. Newly created channels even when partnered seem to have region-locked tokens, that's the only kind of pattern I've seen.

Insane how well this works. I could never watch Twitch streams on "source" (1080p), and I knew it was not due to limited bandwidth on my part. Non-partnered streams have no quality options and mostly stream this quality by default, so I could basically never watch any non-partnered streams. Now it all works without any problems.

I will love you forever!


I use it on Firefox btw.

edit: Nvm just found it doesnt work with non-partnered streams. Still great though.

First of all, thanks a lot R1CH this is amazing and has allowed me to watch 3 streams on "source" during eu primetime although I couldn't even watch 1 stream in high lagfree without it.

Is there a way to get an icon on the topright extension bar to manually enable/disable it for when i need it? Because it fucks with my other proxies (proxmate, hola unblocker) which I use to watch things like youtube, netflix etc which are blocked in good ol germany.

I'm also from EU and I haven't had any problems with this since install.

Perhaps it's software/region fault?
