i downloaded like 4 different programs to set up twitch in VLC on my laptop 2 days ago :::::DDDD

Did you get it working? I made a powershell script that makes it easy:

in a .ps1 file:
$stream = Read-Host "Enter stream address"
& C:\progra~2\livestreamer\livestreamer.exe www.twitch.tv/$stream
$resolution = Read-Host "Choose resolution"
& C:\progra~2\livestreamer\livestreamer.exe www.twitch.tv/$stream $resolution

then create a shortcut to:
%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File "[YOURSCRIPT].ps1"

Launches a powershell with easy prompts for entering your stream parameters. Also note that you need to install VLC and LiveStreamer, and configure LiveStreamer to work with VLC properly.

yeah it works

This could take a while when streaming is working without flash ...

Twitch already had changes to sending chunks, this cound cause loading problems & resume

im watching it in kodi on my tv and not givin a fuck. and even vods work better, let aloen the stream.

This is the best way to do it. Playback is smooth, you can sit back, relax and use your phone as a remote

nice i must try kodi, i tryed flex, but setting up the sream didnt work that well.

Do you have it installed on PC or external device? And if external device does the original raspberry suffice?

Kodi will work on raspberry. However I dont know if pi can handle 720p@50/60fps smoothly. Look into that.

BTW, you can find android mini media centers that can run it for 30-50 euros

I think kodi even works on a toaster.

I got it on my android phone and on laptop (connected with hdmi to tv). Both work flawless for pretty much everything, not just twitch.

Also, I think twitch is one of default plugins that come with kodi, if it's not it's in the official repos so not too much of a hassle to set up.

edit: if you feel like investing, http://www.ebay.com/itm/KODI-XBMC-Smart-Andro...1890420262 or http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_282314.html

should be more than good enough. and for some 5€ / mo you can get ALL the ex-yu tv channels (and much more) + epg as well.

http://www.next-tv.ml/ - for tv channels + logos + epg, 3 € /mo sports packet, 5 € / mo standard packet, 7 € / mo all included. also look up bajaTV for 5€ /mo all included. the epg from next-tv works well with it. for a free list, more or less frequently maintained that works pretty much ok you can use the following playlist: http://pastebin.com/raw/0fjTF7Lc . just paste the link in to iptv addon config ( i'm using that default one that comes with kodi, pvr iptv simple client or something like that). unfortunately this list i pasted is not really good as it's updated for me via addon and i can't find the "official" link that's actually being maintained. you can also grab the croatia on demand addon by natko and do the same thing.

" Details about KODI (XBMC) Smart Android TV Box Quad Core Fully Loaded Media Player Free Films " sounds legit.

It is legit

just installed it on my computer that is also connected to my TV. Looks very promising, but is there an easy way of turning android phone into remote or am i better off just getting a wireless mouse for couch-mode?

there's android app called "Kore", it's official xbmc remote. Only thing you need to do is enable web interface in kodi iirc and connect via the app to the ip:port specified.

thx

better to get a mini wifi keyboard

there are better ones, its just the first obvious choise on google

mans might need the phone, and you have to turn your pron off or mute it

you could also install a browser extension
and there's a greasemonkey script for firefox

but WHY do all streamers use twitch? it's an absolute mess. flash is default, quality is bad and there's lots of connection problems, it's not very stable. wasn't there a thing called youtube gaming? youtube streams are rock solid usually. why not use it? do they stop you from getting donations?

I think the problem is called "network effect" - Why are so many people using whatsapp although there are numerous better apps?

I don't even know how to get into youtube streams without using google.
There is no Kappa.
No swag.

There are a lot of answers I could give to this post, but I keep starting then stopping my reply because I'm concerned. You seem way too upset about something that has been normal for a while.... PJSalt

Nice we still managed to give another reason why all the cool kids use twitch. #420blazeitYOLOswag emoticons and copy pasta.

(for real though what else would streamers use? All the other services are not popular hubs for viewers to watch content. Donations? What does this have to do with anything in this entire thread FailFish Kappa

Don't be PJSalt I'm just joking 4Head

I can't read/understand half the post since it's 2meme4me.

I just have troubles with twitch every time and don't have any trouble with other video streaming sites.

Maybe when they finish the transition to html5 it'll get better.

I don't really see why what site is popular matters. You just give the link and viewers click it and see where it takes them. And if their experience is better everybody wins.

stability is nothing todo with flash, twitch are just too cheap to enable video buffering in flash players

theres a thing called ping even if you have 150mbs fibre, you will still need 10 seconds of buffer to cover random network lag and ocean pipe throttling

i use this in null nuke if you upload a movie
