I decided to complete the project I started on my previous blog.
http://twitches.tv
Features:
Stream multiple channels in the same window
Drag streams by handle
Resize streams
Overlap streams
Typing anywhere focuses on search box
Autosuggest (channel database is being updated)
Checks if stream is online during autosuggest
Load layout from url e.g. day9, incontrol, snipealot2
Dark theme
Ideas to implement:
Featured streams
Colour customisation
Removing handles
The channel database can only update when the streams are online so it might be missing a few popular channels at the moment.
Comments are welcome!

I don't usually watch multiple streams at the same time, but is there a difference in the functions of twitches.tv and multitwitch.tv?

The key difference is that multiwitch.tv has a static layout as opposed to twitches.tv's dynamic one.
In multitwitch the layout is decided based on the number of streams and cannot be changed. In twitches you can determine the layout however you want (e.g. resize, position, overlap) and can share the configuration (currently you need to manipulate the url as shown in the example).
Other features of twitches include the autosuggest and that it checks if the stream is online in the autosuggest.

Cool, thanks for the answer! I'll consider that if I ever want to watch two streams (now that I have a computer that can handle it).

This is really great, thanks

that's really cool actually :O

Ah yeah thanks that's possible I guess but I was thinking it would be better to not have to write ?, = and &. Easier to remember just a / :p

Actually the functionality to get the parameters is there but I am planning to wait for the next version to release it. To use it just open the javascript console of the browser (inspector for chrome, firebug for firefox, dragonfly for opera 12, debugger for ie) and then type saveLocations(). The parameters behind the ? will be logged in the console.
As for the / I am not sure how to do it in php at the moment  . Will be working on it.

You don't handle the / with PHP. You do it through URL rewriting (most of the time using Apache's mod_rewrite and .htaccess files).

Thanks! Looking into it right now.

v1.08 release
- fixed some bugs with IE
- organised and rewrote a bulk of the code (from javascript to jquery)
- opening streams from url made simpler e.g. http://twitches.tv?luminousinverse&snipealot2&mlgsc2

I couldn't get the mod _redirect to work the way I wanted to (e.g. some folders cannot be redirected - you can try this on multitwitch with the script folder). I think I will settle with the current version for the moment.
Plans for next update:
Chat opens with stream, undockable into its own window. Dockable and undockable into right side to form tabs.
