make the video and audio stop buffering every 10 seconds
stop all the buffering

Hey all,
I would like to let you know that we have a special feature to report such issues as buffering, or any other playback issue. To do so, please click on the Settings icon (cog wheel) in the bottom right corner of your video screen and select the Report Playback Issue option. This will directly send a report to the relevant team with the necessary information to accurately track all hiccups with the players that occur, by attaching the specific data in real time needed to investigate such issues. Thank you!

Streaming quality is abysmal. Unbelievably irritating for it to pause every few seconds -- unwatchable.

I was able to watch weeks ago just fine and now all of a sudden everything buffers nonstop and I cant watch my favorite streamers.

Using Google Chrome. Trying to watch a live stream. Buffer fills, still frame shows, spinner stops spinning...but instead of playing the stream, the play arrow is shown again. I click that, it discards the buffer, starts buffering again...and displays the play arrow instead of playing the stream again. This pattern repeats endlessly. Just now I clicked the play arrow 13 times, waited for the buffer to fill each time, but the video just never PLAYS.
It used to work fine.

Even when I'm on medium or lower video quality the livestreams keep stopping or stuttering. Twitch really needs to fix this instead of worrying about how new bit donation buttons look.

Twitch is really dropping the ball, I don't know what's been happening recently, but it's really annoying. I'll be looking for a new streaming site soon if this keeps up. #MakeSourceGreatAgain

Ever since mid December I have only been able to watch streams on low or mobile quality.
Before that I watched on source quality. What's up Twitch? Is there no fix for this? -

this problem started 2 weeks ago and I assumed that it was my internet until the technician came out and showed me there was nothing wrong by running 3 YouTube videos on a high quality, please fix twitch.
