Buffering. Near constant buffering. Updated the iphone app. nothing. Even the website on a laptop is near constant buffering.

My internet is not that bad, but it spikes alot, so i tend to watch on medium to high. But with this autosetting, when i dont have spikes for 15 seconds it gives Source quality and instantly after fist spikes it goes into buffer and sometimes it even loads ad after buffering

fix it...

Why does quality selection always hang?? MAYBE with live streams it's understandable but watching VODS and I can't change the quality? It's stuck at 144p and your stupid fucking gear just keeps spinning without actually doing anything. I have no idea how twitch is so popular when the thing it revolves around, THE VIDEO PLAYER, is absolute shit. Jesus Christ.

Twitch streeming is always buffering! Hey Twitch admin plz down video bitrate data!!!

Video lags a lot .. best part I have wifi 4mbps connection, and other website playing 1080p is butter-smooth ! BUT TWITCH STREAM IS SOOOOO LAGGY. Loads every 3 seconds.... total bullshit.

Seen many people mention the same issue. Please fix it. Making streams unwatchable.

yeah this is not usable, i have 1,5k comp and 50mbps/down net and i got on mere 720/1080p buffering every 20/30sec ,Live stream watching? unusable!

Im pretty sick of this shit. I am ok with ads being shown. Whatever. But the fact that I get a fucking black screen after them telling a media failed to be loaded.. WTF? Fix your shit.

About a week ago all the videos look like crap quality as if it was in 144p and no matter if I choose a better quality it still stays bad! Please help cause' this is the only place I watch Smite and can't see it correctly.

Please, buy more potatos for your's servers.

the video keeps pausing and unpausing every 10 seconds, impossible to watch :(

Every single time I watch a livestream that's being pushed out by an Xbox One or PS4 there is this constant buffering going on, that and the highest bitrate Xbox stream I've ever seen was 2k Kbps, and it looked a lot worse than a similar stream from a PC. There needs to be a major update to the Xbox One and PS4 streaming apps for it to be a viable streaming option cause right now it's absolutely atrocious how bad it is.

it was available before now its not? i hear its now only available for those that reach a certain number of viewers/followers what is going on with twitch tv? how will these milestones get people to stay and watch the stream if its not even loading for most of us

A BUG! i'm trying to watch any stream, when the channel loads, the ads starts to load, but then when it plays no ads (due to just played ad) and then the stream returns, but there's no audio anymore. I don't have adblock or anything.

I've watched several different streamers over my time on twitch and most have several settings/options to view their stream. From Auto/Source to High,Medium,Low, and Mobile.

These options are wonderful but some days the additional options are there and I want to know why they keep disappearing and reappear for streamers. It should be a solid thing. So more people can watch and enjoy their streams. Which means more views. Which means Twitch, you, get more $$$$.

If streamers can't get views you can't get paid.

I can watch 1080p 30fps streams fine but 1080p 60fps streams will buffer every 10 seconds or so.

please

"We announced at TwitchCon that starting Sept. 30 and over the next several months we will be increasing our Transcode capacity to ten times the previous capacity." Yes sure, but now you took quality options away again and I can't watch any streams anymore. Please bring quality options back. We got slow internet in these rural areas.

It honestly makes no sense that I cant lower the quality of a stream for a smaller streamer. I'm unable to watch at source quality because I'm at college and the WiFi is iffy at best. This shouldn't even be an issue
