We're actively working on it but no timeline yet.

Then how come yesterday, for the first time ever, an ad showed while streaming on chromecast? Soon after that “historical moment” this issue happened.

I don't have an answer for that, but I can confirm this is unrelated to ads.

This is a little off topic, but another Chromecast bug has existed for years on the twitch app, and maybe you can make people aware. When you cast a vod to Chromecast at source quality, it will simply stop after a few minutes.

See for example: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310225-twitch-applications-tv-apps/suggestions/41322055-chromecast-vods-freeze-at-1080p

Thanks, I'll share with the team.

I bet it’s the new ads feature…

No, it's an infrastructure issue. Not related to any product changes.

while you're at it, can you fix the flicker that people have been complaining about for months on this same app? Literally gonna give someone a seizure.

Could you expand on that? Is that flicker happening during Chromecasting?

What division(s) do you think will be seeing the most losses, and why those ones?

It's still unknown.

This. I also find it hard to believe. Small streamers, f.e. I am costing Twitch definately more than I have income. I am using lots of diskspace and traffic for many streams I did, compared to my small viewerbase and the income I make. Why would they do million dollar contracts with f.e. Shroud and other streamers, to use exclusively Twitch, when it costs them money to do so... It doesn't make sense to me.

I really would like to understand the architectural and technical issues, or better said, what is technically needed and whats the difference in streaming to thousands, rather than just a few viewers. It can't be much more than just traffic capabilities?! Shrouds videos take 2mbit more than mine, so storage can't really be the big cost here.

And then again, isn't everyone able to watch everyones stream? What if thousands of viewers decide to "raid" a small streamer? It's not like the small streamer will suddenly cost a lot of money, as technically, this already ...

Sorry, just putting my thoughts here as I really would like to understand their argumentation. And right now, I don't believe the statements and they seem to be PR bullsh*t for damage control.

As Sam covered in that thread, the sub/viewers ratio for larger streamers is much smaller than for smaller ones, while consuming much more bandwidth. That's really it.

2) If they refuse, allow me to bribe you to swap the sugar in their coffee for salt every day until they change their mind.

Seriously, this was going to be awesome for everyone involved until some jerk got grubby stupid greedyfingers. This is the most rage-inducing part of my day, along with the justification that a single 30-second preroll per viewer is "more valuable" than 3-6 3-minute hourly ad breaks. That doesn't pass the sniff test. It doesn't even pass the basic logic test.

(Failing that, bump me into the 60m max disable group? Please?!)

Best guess is that the low latency video player doesn’t use AVPlayerItem. This is a piece of code iOS provides apps to play video so each app doesn’t have to reinvent video playback from the ground up. It’s quite useful if you’re an app developer who wants to add video. However, it comes expectations around video formats. I imagine low latency mode doesn’t have enough of a buffer to send to AVPlayerItem to make it work and has to do something custom in the app to play video.

That said, it’s been three years since I’ve had to do iOS development so I could be off on the details here.

It should be fixed on 10.2, have you updated to it?

10.1.0

The fix is on 10.2. It's at 50% rollout yet so you may need to wait a bit for Google to enable it for you.

This is still happening. It is very annoying and interferes with the activities I participate in on Twitch. It happens every couple minutes or more.

What's your app version?

Glad you guys were able to fix this!

Another question: are there any plans on allowing us to use our Twitch Prime via the Twitch app? Thanks!

Unfortunately that's restricted due to store policies.
