    I've had consistent issues with twitch app on my Fire TV everytime I go to watch in the afternoon, and yet have less problems if I just use my phone. Cmon guys

    Hey Twitch engineers, here's a description of the bug if it helps: The app *skips forward* in the stream a little bit, and soon after that it runs out of video to play and spends 10 seconds buffering. I have a fast enough connection, so that's not the problem. Stop the player skipping forward and losing the existing buffer. Then we'll be a couple seconds behind the chat, but that's ok, then the stream won't keep stopping to buffer.

    And you dumbfucks still haven't fixed the buffering issue. Smh you guys are bitches.

    Dear Twitch, fix your fucking shit. The buffering and delay are getting ridiculous. It's stuff like this that makes me hope that some competitor comes in and beats your ass

    Same problem here,every video on every quality starts to buffer at afternoon.I can't watch anything between 18:00-12:00. Fix your crap Twitch and stop being lazy.

    I am a sysadmin and have been for the last 9 years. I have tried everything. Nothing. Not sure what else to do. I buffer every 4 seconds. So a run down on what i have done: 6 hours of research, use three different Browsers, disable firewall, Disable firewall on router, block some IP's, update flash, use html5, use a different pc, ate dinner, mess with settings in chrome and edge, firefox not any better, delete cache and history, disable all extensions, use a vpn, reloaded my PC, call my ISP (they were not happy) and continued to ask me if i have restarted my PC LOL, complain to my wife, prayed about it, change from wireless to wired. confirm my DS/US with ISP and online, connect directly to modem and bypass router, researched another 3 hours during work hours, asked other chat in DR.DISREPECTS stream and as soon as i did he put us in emote mode only :(, restarted my PC 3 times, complained in twitch support. yep thats all i did. I think i deserve a twitch shirt for all that work.

    .. I have attempted to bypass your whole service by only taking the video to a VLC player.. and every evening at 7 or little later, everything stops.. I cannot even begin to describe how much i want to strangle you lot right now :/ and i can watch videos and streams from your biggest adversary, youtube.. this needs to change, as at this point i don't care if you ban me over trying to frankenstain something i can watch, because you.. don't.. care..:/

    I hate twitch so much, I want to watch tourneys but I can't because twitch is a shit since forever and they don't do anything to fix it, on other hand on youtube I can watch 1080p60 streams perfectly but everyone prefer to stream on the site that doesn't work for everyone for some retarded reason.

    Pls buy more servers, you guys have the money for it, I want to like twitch but it's impossible this way.

    whats happening , every evening EU time , twitch stream starts to buffer all the time , for like a week now, ?????????????????

  • Bryn commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I have a 100Mbps fibre connection and Twitch also buffers every 10 seconds or so for me. Literally no other streaming service on this planet buffers on my connection. My ISP is not a problem as all major ISPs in South Africa have the same problem. FFS please spend money on your servers Twitch.
