why are these guys taking years to get rid of flash?
ikr I just want to watch epic pro streams in epic HTML5
>>55406415
because jeff is a jew
>livestreamer html5 support
but ya twitch guys are taking forever to roll out html5.
>>55406415
I thought they already had or maybe its just because i use chrome now instead of firefox because it crashes all the time
>>55406594
It's still Flash underneath the hood.
>>55406561
This. If Flash fucks up your computer, get Livestreamer Twitch GUI and VLC.

4chan cup uses twitch
no one but bots watches twitch
>>55407176
ok, what a waste of electricity then
They are testing HTML5 right now with select subscribers. Hopefully by the end of this month they begin rolling it out for everyone.
>>55407073
It does work with every player, not just VLC
>The good news is, we will start to beta test the full HTML5 video player in July! The HTML5 Player Beta will first open to Turbo subscribers. Based on the success of this initial test, we plan to steadily expand beta access to more users toward the end of the summer.
>>55406561
even with html5 streaming on the twitch website, livestreamer (twitch gui) will be superior... just look at the twitch website and how bloated it is, disgusting as fuck
>>55406415
Because they don't give a shit.
Twitch have been backwards since day 1. This is no surprise. It's because they are incredibly incompetent and are too busy hiring diversity > skill
Can't fucking wait till they go under, either from their own ineptitude or Google headhunting the largest streamers for YouTube Gaming
>>55409512
so youtube gaming is not a day 1 failure?
>>55407151
I bet you don't tell the anime posters to go back to /a/, hypocrite.
i miss own3d.tv
it uses flash as the front end, not underneath
>>55406415
works fine without flash if you use the best browser: Microsoft Edge for Windows 10
>>55406415
incompetent devs
theyve been "testing" html5 for years now but somehow have time to create bullshit like "social eating" and buying little donation tokens. theyre incompetent as fuck.
>>55407151
Social eating is technology
>>55406415
This is a company that switched from Rails to Python and still has outages every day. They're not exactly competent.
>>55409934
> Python
Meant to say Django.
Flash hasn't affected their viewer base who are mainly on PCs and use Windows already. No one who plays video games cares about FOSS else they wouldn't be playing them.
And live streaming over HTML5 is a clusterfuck with no native solutions on the horizon.
Because they still make money without paying devs to build a HTML 5 version of the site
>>55407073
gnome twitch is ok too. i like it a bit better myself.
livestreamer + mpv is fucking godsent
>>55406415
twitch will ban you for anything while letting the cash cows go unbanned
>twitch
>watching others play games
>games
>watching
Grow up manchildren
>>55406415
They have HTML5 now but it's only available to "Turbo" users.
They said that they'll get rid of Flash by the end of summer.
>>55406415
HTML5 works now, it is only default on turbo users so far, but it's there.
If you disable flash in your browser, it will work.
>>55407162
No, we use Hitbox now.
>>55409427
>>55409848
/thread
Also they are a web service, so they are massive faggots by default, like 4chan.
>>55409934
What has switching from shitty web framework A to B to do with outages?
>35 replies
>no correct answer
its because of ads, its hard to do them in HTML5 because advertising companies have hard time with HTML5 or some shit. Its also easier to adblock.
>>55412212
>no correct answer
we've already said they have shit devs, read thread before assuming superiority fucking inbred
Hey at least twitch added chaturbate tokens with like a 50% cut which gives the streamers way less than donating through PayPal.
>>55406415
WHO KNOWS
FUCKING SHIT SUCKS MAKES ME ANGRY
>watching twitch on your browser
>>55407073
I tried livestreamer but for some reason it always gave me a timeout when loading the stream. Not sure what's wrong.
>>55412621
try
livestreamer --loglevel debug URL best
>>55412266
calm down and google livestreamer twitch gui
>>55406415
probably latency and ads
Why does livestreamer twitch gui use so much fucking resources?
>>55417223
it only uses like 5% cpu on my laptop, what do you mean.
>>55406415
>Twitch
>Run by competent administrators who have the faintest idea how to deliver media
Pick exactly one
>>55418407
>5% CPU for a GUI
lol
>>55411608
Yes because they didn't expand their categories to drawing gambling and other shit.
Go be grumpy somewhere else grandpa.
I feel like twitch is going downhill it started with some whores displaying pre recorded footage and then proceeding to pretty much seduce 12 yr olds into subscribing or donating then doing nothing to channels that clearly were bot viewing and how bad the servers were and the latest is the Bits bullshit.
If that company doesn't sink i'll be surprised
HTML5 streaming is still really bad for the most part
>>55409597
How much would you like to bet on that?
>>55418939
Your mother's anal virginity.
>>55419063
So none?
>>55418688
that's because there is no standard for it
