Twitch.tv is great for watching streams but it's not so great at letting users watch clips. You can’t really voice your opinion after the fact as you can only really read the chat at the time of the clip. You can also post a clip to Reddit but by the time you get around to post it, someone else may have posted it already and is now reaping the rewards. This is where TopClipz comes into play, we value Twitch broadcasters and their community so that’s why we only allow the owner of the clip content to upload said clip to TopClipz. Build your community based off your content, not your current viewer count. https://www.topclipz.com/clips

Basically in Chrome I have done absolutely everything I can in order to make Clips to work properly but it just refuses to work! I click the Clip button but it opens a new tab and the Clip never loads and stays in a eternal loading phase with a black screen no sound no anything... I searched in Google found a Reddit thread and I found that it would be fixed by turning "chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy" flags setting into "No user gesture is required" but even then I was not having any success making it work So what I did further was disable every single extension and close every single tab BUT even then it wasn't working 100% of the time perfectly because each time the Stream I was trying to Clip buffered even for a second the Clip would fail .. basically I don't know how it works in the background code but there must be multiple ways to determine which exact moment in the Stream I clicked the Clipping button than simply having the stream open that is a great disservice to people with slower connections like me! I want to be able to provide the best and most accurate Clips ever! But each time I try to make a Clip I cannot do it in the moment I want because I am forced to lower the quality of the stream just so I can make sure it doesn't buffer while my Clip is being created because otherwise its not going to work and get stuck again!

Thank you for your time.

I have like 15 Videos stuck in the Processing Video Producer tab on my Twitch. Why isn't this Fixed yet Twitch? (At least let me delete these failed attempts or Invent a clear Que Button that just Force Quits all processes in the Que?) There is no 3 dots at the side that allows me to delete these eyesores. I tried uploading a .mov today. 4GB and 2 times it failed so now my Que is even larger. Stuck in infinite processing.

I feel like this problem started when they changed the processing so that only affiliates could Publish a Premiere. Some of the videos in my que were premieres from when I joined twitch before they changed that. Or maybe it was like a 30 day trial subscription that you get when you first join and then now its gone. I don't know but I'm not an affiliate yet and whatever happened, Its made uploading Videos actually a nightmare. So please. I humbly ask that the Devs fix this problem asap or at least create a Que Clear Button.

While I understand the initial limitation with bandwidth required AAC limited to 160kbps when Twitch first started out along with a lack of native support initially, I fail to see why FLAC audio streaming, as per what Tidal offer for their premium service, can't be offered as an option, particularly for the entertainment and arts streams where audio quality is more crucial than for gaming streams where visual quality takes precedence.

Computationally, particularly with multicore CPUs with hyperthreading, it should be relatively easy to enable encoding on the fly without a degradation in streaming quality and not impact much on simultaneous video encoding.

While it doesn't have to be 24-bit 192kHz quality to begin with, 16-bit 44.1kHz stereo shouldn't be bandwidth or computationally demanding. Worst case, for end users, transcoding down to AAC shouldn't be a barrier due to the lossless nature of FLAC.

A button or link (like twitch.tv/100) which would automatically play yesterday's most viewed clips.
Picture it like a youtube playlist with the video taking 90% of the screen and the playlist on the side.

I like spending 10 minutes watching some twitch clips on youtube, but there is a problem that they are filtered by the person making the compilation.

Right now the way to watch popular clips is to play a clip, then scroll down to "Popular clips" and select one of four, watch it, scroll down again and repeat. I'd like a lazy way to watch good clips, like a button that just plays popular clips of the day.

So this is part one, just a top twitch clip playlist. I'd also like to see a "top curated playlist" that only includes the clips of people I follow, or top clips, but also be able to filter out people, games, languages I don't want to see.

OR, have an option to sort the people you follow first.
However, if the people you watch aren't the top streamers who don't go below 30k viewers they might not show up on the top 100 at all.

So TL;DR, an easily accessible playlist generated from the top 100 of all yesterday's twitch clips, which automatically plays the next clip without me clicking anything, and a similar playlist, but only for people I follow.

This is originally written in german, because that's my mother language and writing a wall of text in english is not my best property. I used Google Translator for the english version. Maybe there are some weird parts because of the translation, please ask me if you don't understand some sentences. Here we go:

I think Twitch needs its own video sharing platform, like YouTu **, to get users more connected to their website and away from the competitors. The current form of video uploading is not user and streamer friendly due to several factors.

From the user's point of view:
The first point of contact for someone who wants to look at compositions, compilations (win, perfect timing, fails, ...) or highlights goes to the above mentioned website. And who does not know, you start with a video and then clicks unconsciously through many more, because they are proposed to you, in the end you have content from several streamers looked at and maybe even spent a few hours on the platform. So far, Twitch has not offered this type of consumption. Although the users are suggested clips for user behavior, but these are a maximum of a minute, and offer little to no variety in the same clip. The user is also not able to present their own compositions about other streamer.

From the streamers view:
It is possible for streamers to upload their own videos to their channel, but in the case of regular streams, they fade into the background because of the VODs. In addition, the maximum upload size is limited to 20GB (if that's synonymous with partners / Affil. I can not judge), which is achieved in highlight clippings with effects quickly. The ability to upload your own compilations is barely used by the streamers, they publish everything at the competitors. Another negative point is that, as described above, the unconscious, hour-long consumption is eliminated because you can not click from video to video, but would have to go to other channels to view content from other streamers. The streamer is thus denied chance to be discovered by a suggested video.

From the developer's point of view:
To prevent the development of a YT clone, the uploads should be restricted to streamer content. So, if you have a compilation of different streamers, or just one, the uploader should specify who the video is about to stop personal videos, cat videos, party videos, or the like. Whether a comment function makes sense, I do not know (large extra effort through moderation obligation), it should be possible for the user to rate a video and to sort by popular videos. If a streamer likes a video that is about him, the streamer should have the option to mark it as a "streamers choice" to signal to the users of the platform that this is a particularly good video and worth watching.

This is a first, superficial transcript of my idea, which needs to be significantly expanded and detailed. For now it should have been that.
-------
Ich bin der Meinung, Twitch benötigt eine eigene Videoplattform in der Art wie YouTu**, um die Nutzer mehr an die eigene Webseite zu binden und weg von der Konkurrenz zu bekommen. Die jetzige Form des Videouploads ist aufgrund mehrerer Faktoren nicht nutzer- und streamerfreundlich.

Aus Nutzersicht:
Die erste Anlaufstelle für jemanden, der sich Zusammenschnitte, Compilations (win, perfect timing, fails,...) oder Highlights angucken möchte, geht auf die oben genannte Webseite. Und wer kennt es nicht, man fängt bei einem Video an und klickt sich dann unbewusst durch viele weitere, weil sie einem vorgeschlagen werden, am Ende hat man sich Content von mehreren Streamern angeguckt und vielleicht sogar einige Stunden auf der Plattform verbracht. Diese Art von Konsum bietet Twitch bislang nicht an. Zwar werden den Nutzern Clips nach Benutzerverhalten vorgeschlagen, aber diese sind maximal eine Minute lang, und bieten kaum bis keine Abwechslung in ein und demselben Clip. Dem Nutzer ist es zudem nicht möglich, eigene Zusammenschnitte über andere Streamer zu präsentieren.

Aus Streamersicht:
Streamern ist es zwar möglich, eigens erstellte Videos auf den Kanal hochzuladen, diese geraten jedoch bei regelmäßigen Streams in den Hintergrund, aufgrund der VODs. Zudem ist die maximale Uploadgröße auf 20GB beschränkt (ob das bei Partnern/Affil. auch so ist kann ich nicht beurteilen), was bei Highlight Zusammenschnitten mit Effekten schnell erreicht ist. Die Möglichkeit, eigene Compilations hochzuladen, wird kaum bis garnicht von den Streamern genutzt sie veröffentlichen alles bei der Konkurrenz. Ein weiterer Negativpunkt ist zudem, dass wie oben beschrieben der unbewusste, stundenlange Konsum wegfällt, da man sich nicht von Video-zu-Video klicken kann, sondern auf andere Channels gehen müsste, um Content von anderen Streamern anzuschauen. Dem Streamer ist es somit verwehrt, zufällig durch ein vorgeschlagenes Video entdeckt zu werden.

Aus Entwicklersicht:
Um zu verhindern, dass man einen YT-Klon entwickelt, sollten die Uploads auf Streamer-Content beschränkt sein. Hast du also eine Compilation von verschiedenen Streamern oder auch nur von einem erstellt, sollte der Uploader angeben müssen, über wen das Video handelt, um persönliche Videos, Katzenvideos, Partyvideos oder Ähnliches zu unterbinden. Ob eine Kommentarfunktion sinnvoll ist weis ich nicht (großer Mehraufwand durch Moderationspflicht), es sollte dem Nutzer jedoch möglich sein ein Video zu bewerten und nach beliebten Videos zu sortieren. Wenn einem Streamer ein Video gefällt, welches über ihn handelt, sollte der Streamer die Möglichkeit haben, dieses als "Streamers choice" zu markieren, um den Nutzern der Plattform zu signalisieren, dass dies ein besonders gutes Video und lohnenwert zum anschauen ist.

Dies ist eine Erste, oberflächliche Niederschrift meiner Idee, die noch deutlich ausgebaut und ins Detail gehen muss. Für's erste solls das jedoch gewesen sein.

This error has been going on for years and Twitch hasn't bothered to fix it. everywhere i look to find a way to upload it without an error i get the same problem with different people. I know it goes as far back as 2016 cause thats the earliest I've found it on (/r/Twitch) Some have found solutions like going Incognito or deleting your history,cookies,caches,etc. I unfortunately have not found a solution and have even gone as far as emailing Twitch customer support with no reply. If anyone can help or fix the errors then please let me know. The errors i get are "Unexpected Error, Please Try Again" Now it doesn't say that it says " Upload Timed Out, Please Try Again" I can't fix it no matter what i do. Please fix it
