  1. I am getting error #3000 every time the web player on firefox tries to start playing the advertisements. This always happens when the page is in focus, 100% of the time.

    I have tried clearing site data and cookies but the issue still occurs, not having the page in focus (in another tab or window or app) however, the stream is uninterrupted and continues as expected. Ad blocker has no affect (either on or off). Other browsers (chrome, safari) are not experiencing this issue.

  6. There are many users like myself that have multiple monitors. My primary monitor utilizes HDR while my secondary monitors both do not. Twitch will auto-enable HDR site viewing even though I open the page on a monitor without the HDR ability simply because my primary monitor does have HDR enabled. This makes the site unviewable on either of my satellite monitors and after hours of testing, is found to be limited to Twitch itself. Other websites are able to switch between this without issue but due to various issues with the twitch website itself this feature doesn't seem to exist…

  8. Make the automatically minimized player (when you go from a Channel to a Category) resizable. By default it's 200px x 117.5px in size, in-resizeable. Make it resizable. By allowing to drag it from the top right corner.
    Set a max size as well. For example 640x320.

  9. For a lot of non-gaming content the doubling of bandwidth/vod size just isnt necessary, its the most economical way to stream or save broadcasts in a still acceptable quality. Removing it as an option while keeping 360 and 480 doesnt make sense (166 at least serves a purpose as a quasi-audio only option)

  10. Your video player spikes my cpu useage every few seconds while desktop is idle. I have an i5 9600k and that should be more than enough. Browsers already have a use hardware acceleration where available option. You could default yours to hw acc off if you wanted to, but please give us the option to be able to change this setting or let the browser setting switch it. Thank you.

  11. I think that a good function would be to set the quality of the stream watched on the Twitch.pl website, as is the solution on the Twitch application. A good idea would be an application for a lubricant.TV Samsung

  12. Streaming in high framerate(120fps) increases the quality of the gameplay
    (alot when it is fast paced, such as shooter games) but requires a monitor of similar refresh rate(144hz) and good internet to view without lag(its amazingly smooth and so worth it).

    However not everyone(vast majority) has these requirements and when streaming with these settings it is always the first option(source or highest quality). Thus a lot of people will get a laggy stream and are probably not aware that they have to lower the resolution to view uninterrupted(thats why big streamers dont do this because a lot of people lag…

  13. After a network disruption from another bandwidth-intensive application,(s) please allow the error #2000 message to retain the video's progress via cookie when logged-out.

    I have concerns about open sessions of my accounts on multiple domains where my active sessions are not displayed and able to be manually closed. (Google, Twitter, Instagram, and Microsoft all display active session history)

    Thank you for your consideration.

  16. I can't speak for everyone, but 160p is by far the worst looking, and sounding, quality. For those with terrible internet speeds, that's fine, but I'm totally fine with my video 30 seconds behind the streamer over this terrible quality that's coming in regardless of what quality I put it at (as it automatically downgrades to 160p if it can't handle it, heavens forbid we put you 15 seconds behind the streamer). I just want the ability to tell twitch on my side, once and for all, NO 160P QUALITY FOR ME.

  17. I would love if i was able to watch 2k on all my devices as i am on devices that are able to watch 4k on other platforms but i am unable to watch 2k on twitch as it is greyed out and i have done everything that it says on the website as well as what the chatbot has told me to do as well as what customer support has said.

  18. While observing browser behaviour during the watching of a Twitch stream, I noticed that the video player (or some interaction between the video player and the browser; Firefox on Linux) was causing video blobs (parts of the stream sent to my computer) to be placed into the browser's disk cache, filling it somewhat quickly.

    This does not happen with YouTube's player on the same browser and OS, which would appear to operate entirely in memory.

    As a result of this cache usage, there are thousands of SSD writes which may be shortening the lifespan of Twitch viewers' hardware.

    There are…

  19. Twitch needs a Texas, Florida and New York Server for streamers who are local to the South Central and East side of the Country.

    Having only 3 ingest servers is not good for the streaming community and I notice some of these servers keep giving me dropped frames after being live for about 2-4hours.

    Please Add in more Ingest servers across North America and Add in Av1 encoding with a higher bitrate cap so we as streamers can provide a better quality viewing experience.

    Thank you

  20. Video (VOD) not resuming after ads play if not the active window

    I've got a Video (VOD) running as a background tab / not the active window, and every time after the Ads have finished playing the Video will pause until I go and make the window/tab active.

    I only have the one screen, and I like to listen to streamers talk more than I watch, so I'll often have live streams or VODs in a background window/tab. Live streams are fine, but VODs have a serious bug where the video does not resume after ads.

    For me, this is…
