Automatically refresh stream page when broadcaster goes live
Before you implemented the new player you didn't need to refresh the page when a stream went live. Now you will not even notice when a stream goes live unless you refresh the page.
Example:
Current behavior:
1. Go to offline stream page (ex https://www.twitch.tv/reckful)
2. Reckful starts his stream
3. Nothing happens and the user has no idea that reckful has gone live even if he has had this tab open for hours
Wanted behavior:
1. Go to offline stream page (ex https://www.twitch.tv/reckful)
2. Reckful starts streaming
3. Stream starts playing instantly
I know that this worked previously with the old flash player, so is this feature gone because of limitations in the HTML5 player or was it just overlooked?

twitch already does this, but only in the browser and only if you have the tab open and the recommended video/stream playing.
and it's a bit glitchy. -

EXCELLENT IDEA! This would make stream crashes far less frustrating. I always lose all the homies that had lurks open for me

Twitch already does this as far as I know. Although sometimes it doesn't work.

It is really important for my stream to have this functionality as well.

(If it is a limitation maybe WebSockets could be a solution)
