  1. Make a new Samsung TV App.

    The Samsung TV twitch application has been removed due to it not being official.

    Now thousands of people have to go out and buy a chromecast ect to watch twitch on there Samsung TV. Please make an official twitch app so these thousands of people can watch twitch without having to buy anything else.

    The main reason I bought my TV was because there was a twitch app.

  3. gamestreams app on LG tv (webOS) stopped working

    Dear twitch,

    “gamestreams” is a great app for LG smart tvs (webOS) that allows one to watch twitch streams directly on the tv without the need of using some other casting devices. Unfortunately after the API V3+5 change/shutdown the app suddenly stopped working. I’m sure there are lots of people watching twitch on LG tvs and we’d like to able to do so in the future. After reaching out to the developer of the gamestreams app i got the following answer from Reemet Paabo:

    “Yes Twitch.tv is closing down the V3 and V5 API endpoints that we are using and therefor we will have to rewrite the whole Application.
    Now, I had started to rewrite the whole application and it was going well, until I hit a brick wall with the Twitch Embed player that I have to use.
    It has that Maturity check on it, " Content is rated mature” and you have to press “Start watching” button to continue, unfortunatly there is no way to bypass that and its only clickable, which LG does not allow. You have to be able to use the button with OK key aswell. I’ve tried all kinds of solutions but always end up with cross-origin-policy error ( since the player is “cloning” another website, you can not execute code within it ). For now I’ve given up because there’s no way around cross-origin-policy and sadly twitch developers will not help us eather."

    As far as i can tell the developer is willing to adopt to your new API, but is also limited by LG and webOS features. It would be awesome if you could support Reemet in any way or extend your new API so that keyboard events can be used and help to keep the gamestreams app - with that twitch - on LG tv alive.

    kind regards,
    Michael

    P.S: I’m just a sad consumer and not affiliated with gamestreams, LG or twitch in any way

  5. Build Twitch app for Apple TV as well

    There currently is no official Twitch app for Apple TV. Since you already build for iOS and iPadOS, there should be high codebase overlap with an Apple TV application.

    As a Twitch viewer, I currently need to keep another Apple device open and AirPlaying to the Apple TV. If I move out of range, the stream will drop and needs to be set up again on return. I'd like to let my TV keep running sometimes, just like I could if I was watching cable - no awkward handovers between people to keep the TV running.

    If an official Twitch app is out of scope, blessing one of the various 3rd party apps ("Twitchy", "Game Theater for Twitch", "Player2 for Twitch", etc) would be handy so fans would know which one to get/could expect to work well.

  6. Nvidia shield TV app Followed Games section always disappears

    The "Followed Games" section row, keeps disappeared when I try to navigate to that row in the Nvidia shield TV Twitch app, and then it is only "Live channels" and "Followed channels" left on that screen.

    This is annoying me to no end. Please fix?

  7. Nvidia Shield TV app keeps logging me out too often.

    Could you please fix the stupid login issues where it keeps logging me out every other day and I have to go to www.twitch.tv/activate and enter an annoying code over and over and over and over and over again...

    How about just making me be able to log directly into the Shield Twtich app, or maybe make the sign in token last a freaking month, 6 months, a year?

    This has bugged me for 3 years now!

  9. Fix high bitrate 1080p60 Chromecast Streaming, because it constantly stutters.

    And yet it doesn't stutter on my phone itself, or my PC, or my PS4. Please address this issue.

  10. Bring back the Roku channel!

    The Twitch app was removed from the Roku Channel Store and will no longer receive updates is the word from Roku. I'm not buying a Fire TV to watch it, Amazon. I tried your Fire TV and Roku just works better; plus Roku makes it easier to find my channels which are buried under all your Amazon garbage on Fire TV. Limiting the ways people can watch content from entities you own seems like shooting yourself in the foot.

  11. Add different chat options to Twitch app on Amazon Fire Stick

    Add different chat options to Twitch app on Amazon Fire Stick

    Like the recent IOS upgrade, I think it would be awesome to be able to toggle the chat on the Twitch firestick app to have a black background, as well as being able to toggle it to be transparent and overlaid on the right/ left hand side of the stream you're watching making having chat open on a TV much more enjoyable

  12. Bring back updates on Roku TV.

    I almost deleted my Twitch App on Roku the other day accidentally and I would have been in trouble by doing so. I and my wife are disabled and cannot cart around a computer or laptop every time we want to watch Twitch so we D/L your app. Now it says it will no longer be supported. I realize business is business but remember people are people also and WE ARE your business!

  13. Chromecast is broken again sadly

    There are a number of issues with the updated app when using chromecast. First, the app doesn't stop casting when you exit. It won't stop casting when you cast another app. When you go back to the app there is no video showing, because it thinks it's casting...but its not. You have to go into the chromecast app, and stop it casting to switch or close the app and reopen it again. that works sometimes.

    Also, lots of channels are skipping at high resolution. it's sort of random which streams skip at what res. Some skip at high res and others that lower res.

    Personally, I don't love the new format, but I can get used to that if the app works properly.

    I hate to ask, but did you actually test this?

  14. Make the Roku app look like your landing page on a browser so that when you log in you can pick which channel you want to watch.

    Currently, there appears to be no change when you log into the app. When you log in it should make your Twitch page look like it does when you are viewing it with a browser and actually show the channels you are subscribed to. Just finding what you want to see on the Roku app requires a search and there appears to be little benefit in actually logging in.

  15. Roku App barely works.

    Most major channels will load to 99% and then remain frozen there. Only a handful of channels load properly and play. This issue happens on my friends Roku as well. I have had to resort to screen mirroring, which drops frames like crazy.

  18. Screen scaling

    on Fire TV, the boundaries of the screen don't adjust correctly like other apps do. Because of this there is a portion of the video that is off screen, some TV's have options to adjust the edge scanning, but not all do and it can be annoying to change it every time just to watch twitch.

  19. Urgently Fix the Roku App

    The App has been buggy since release and far inferior to it's predecessor the unofficial app.

    The issues STILL current:

    Even when logged in, followed streams are NOT showing at all.

    Online streams are not showing up in the list of channels.

    Video quality still does NOT have manual selector (this is critical with Australian internet).

    The app crashes frequently.

    The interface is horrid.
