Muting a player on an ad break effectively only lasts for the first ad, as subsequent ads unmute themselves and play audio even though the player says it's muted. This has been an issue with increasing frequency in the last couple months, but has been an issue since the switch to the html5 player and an issue with several earlier iterations of the flash player.

It's also worth noting that the first time I clicked the pop up to come here after reporting the ad, it paused the ad and opened its link instead of redirecting here. That's gross.

I cant watch normal stream, because of the ad

Somehow toggling fullscreen by doubleclick doesn't working anymore?

i selected a lower quality because my internet is ass, when it loads in source it cant sustain the stream so it lags like fuck please keep the quality where i put it

In the last week or so, after watching a stream for some time, clicking to a new tab in the same browser (current Firefox on Windows 10) lags, enough for windows to show it as not responding, and then resumes without having changed tabs.

After long enough, these shorter lags switching tabs fully hangs, and firefox asks if you want to cancel the execution of the script, and if you do, the video just never loads again. A refresh of the page fixes this, but it's damn annoying and wasn't a problem before recently.

The 5 seconds skip button doesn't work since maybe one week

turn off the goddamn autoplay.

Every once in a while some vods just don't work. They go black and never start. Which ruins any stream that have more than one vod.

I think it's about time you start the development of an application for the smart tv market. There are plenty of users who want to watch a stream on their tv so they can do something else on the computer (without using the computer to send the video to the tv).
If you are already working on it, well done and move faster !! :))

stop fking ask me why opting out html5 player

EVERY stream buffers constantly and sometimes will not load at all. Chat works but the stream will not. It's been happening about a month. Come on guys.

Netflix and youtube work flawlessly, steam downloads at top speed (60mbps), but I can't watch twitch at source (6mbps) with nothing taking any of my bandwidth.

So everytime i try to catch a championship game here on twitch, an ad tries to roll out, but since its so retarded in the first place it cant even play itself. the stream then returns with no sound.. refreshing alot does not even help (100 times, literally wtf, are you that hungry?)

youtube sure is becoming more and more cozy :)

Already have to watch steams in low quality due to slow internet. When ad's play they try to play in HD but they constantly have to stop to load taking way longer to play than they should. There should be an option to change the quality of the ad like there is for the stream, or it could be automatic based on internet access for what quality it plays like the "auto" feature on youtube videos

I understand it takes more resources but since amazon bought twitch they should be able to upgrade and give some lower end streamers quality options. These streamers can't get the majority of people to watch because they don't have the best internet and it just buffers constantly.

I keep getting connected to servers that are several thousand KM away from me over in Australia, let us choose to connect to the right server. Connecting to SJC and LAX makes no sense and results in Twitch streams being rendered unviewable.

It can't be my internet if the same stream works just fine on YouTube! The difference is, YouTube's chat is disabled, and YouTube stream is slightly behind Twitch chat, so the chat is always telling me what I'm about to see before I see it, and that's annoying! Could be fixed if Twitch wasn't a pile of crap!
I changed the quality to MOBILE by the way. I can't see a thing and it keeps on buffering, STILL!

fix this lag , its unwatchable for 1week now ....

Playing some 60fps streams on second monitor (running at 60hz) causes the playback to stutter, both audio and video. Plays fine on primary monitor running at 144hz.
