Twitch is muting VODs of streams if they contain any form of music (even in game music)
rip video games
Retard here, what's a VOD in the context of streaming?
Like, your archived vids might get muted?
>>256698271
Yes.
>>256697808
Don't care. Who the fuck watches others play vidya anyways?
Good, LPers should get a fucking job
no problem, we'll just go back to Livestream
Nice, good luck having a useable VOD of GTA5 when you stream it from your PC when it's released. Your highlight will also be muted, everything will be unusable.
>>256698271
>>256698339
Not only that, they're completely broken in livestreamer if they have a mute on them, can't play them at all.
>>256698471
Ultra losers.
Frankly any news that goes in the way of letsplayers is music to my ears.
>>256697808
>any form of music
no, they're removing copyrighted music that has paid audible magic (the company that checks the audio of the vods) to protect their copyright.
but yes, this is shitty. it mutes in 30 minute blocks if it detects any of the copyrighted music, meaning most tournament vods are going to be completely muted the entire way through
THE NSA IS NOT THE PROBLEM GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK ARE, I REPEAT
THE NSA IS NOT THE PROBLEM GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK ARE

>>256698339
Thanks.
I don't see why this would matter much, actually watching a stream that isn't live seems oddly pathetic, even for something that is already kind of pathetic but a lot of us do anyway.
>>256698781
>Posted to YouTube
So I'm supposed to care because....
>>256698849
a lot of streams out there are really great background noise. i can fall asleep to that shit really fast, it's great.
but these people don't stream 24/7 so obviously vods are the solution. a lot of vods are gonna get all or mostly muted because of this change
>>256697808
>upload a couple replays from mario kart 8 to youtube
>they get flagged for the music
Wooooooooooooooooooow
>>256697808
who cares
even if you like twitch, you watch twitch for the live streams, not the fucking vods
Who /Cosmo/ here?
>>256698849
They probably won't stop here. I would not be surprised if they applied the same technology to live streams.
rip smash streams

This is a piece of shit if it recognizes music playing in-game and subsequently bans you, but I really don't give a shit if it bans people for playing shitty dubstep and other music while they are playing the game. I just want to watch the game. I don't care about your epic 3-hour trap mix you made for your stream.
>>256699089
>a lot of streams out there are really great background noise. i can fall asleep to that shit really fast, it's great.
Oh okay. I can understand that. Sorry if you lose this and can't find a better sleeping aid.
>>256699516
If one good thing can be said about this, it's the schadenfreude.
>>256699678
it'll only recognize music made by people who have paid the third party company to actively monitor and "protect" their content
>>256699921
And so far, video game audio is definitely part of that, there are tons of pure game audio vods that have beem muted
AND YOU FUCKERS LAUGHED AT ME FOR STREAMING KUNG-POW ON LIVESTREAM!
>>256699921
>>256699678

>>256700657

What is the point of this anyway? Why are they worried about game music being played on a video game streaming website? Is it against the law to watch people play video games now?
>>256699000
Abandon thread
>>256697808
and nothing of value was lost.
>>256697808
where were you when you watch as the internet gets shittier by the day
>>256701021
Because rather than get money out of the users, they would rather get it out of "content producers" and shit on the users.
>>256701021
Yes because when you purchase a video game, you are not purchasing the game itself, you are purchasing the license to play it.
Technally it is illegal to invite your bros over and have them watch you play (game dependent) unless THEY have also purchased the game.
>>256697808
Can't wait for all the twitch fags getting banned. I hope google fucking KILLS twitch.
>>256698675
Hitbox tv seem to be a good alternative.
>>256701021
To get people to upload their videos to youtube until they can implement the same monetisation schemes on twitch
>>256701285
Intellectual property rights are pure cancer.
First they killed Justin TV and now this.

>>256701502
Well I am not saying they aren't. But at the same time there is nothing we can do about it.
>>256699000
HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>256697808
We can just make another streaming site and advertise it on twitch.tv lol
>>256701285
Technically everything you said in your second sentence is goat shit.
>>256698694
I can actually taste how jealous you are that they are making money off of your favorite hobby. Its like you know you aren't entertaining enough to hold more then 4 youtube views per video.
I completely understand how LP'ers are bad for the industry. For the passed 6 years instead of buying games I was hype for I watched a youtube playthrough or an LP'er handle the game. Since they were all AAA movie tier garbage I didn't miss out on anything.

>>256697808
it was only a matter of time
this is really dumb by both google and twitch though, why buy a service only to kill it off, youtube is still running because they are somewhat lenient. There's a ton of copyrighted music on there and if they cracked down on it youtube would die overnight
>>256703326

Why haven't YOU stopped the copyright lobby yet? This stuff won't stop until YOU stand up against it.

You don't own the rights to the music therefore it makes sense that you can't make money off of it.

But they don't make money off of it. People don't watch streams to listen to music, they listen to their own music. They make money off their own commentary and gameplay.
>>256704953
Let me put it this way man, listen here.
You play a game and record some footage, then you check it and find out it's muted. Why?
You passed by a radio playing music, in the game. The music in the game.
IN THE GAME.
>>256702249
Ah yes, the frontpage of a website made for streaming video games. That's what will be the deciding factor for people streaming there.

Not enough people will do this to make a difference. If their favorite streamers will forever stay on twitch and refuse to move to a different website, then their fanbase will remain on twitch.
The viewers can't solve the problem - The streamers CAN though, and I seriously doubt that will ever happen since it's too risky for them (similar to giant Youtube channels creating secondary Youtube channels which have pitiful subscribers compared to their main account)
Embrace the future of GoogleTwitch

There were never youtube competitors on the same technological level, but there are for twitch.

The biggest names in the speedrunning community have already called Twitch out on it on stream and on Twitter.
Of course the speedrunning community is microscopic compared to stuff like LoL / DotA and FGC streams, but it's a good sign that there are people with big enough fanbases (some of these speedrunners make a living off Twitch) are outspoken about this.
The problem is that some of the big streamers have contracts with Twitch that will keep them stuck there and like you said, it's the streamers that decide where viewers will go
>>256705724
>>256706392
it's an alright deal

>>256706327

They are losing a number of people including their money makers the streamers as well

There are so many better "funny" action.martial arts films.
>>256706680
I'm sure they don't give a shit. Or hell, they probably muted their own video to say "HEY look we muted one of our own videos, we're just like the common people!"
>>256706440
most of them actually return profit over time
twitch was the riskiest of the tech side and it already seems like a bust
Google is not as large as MS where they can lose 500 million dollars a year while buying other tech companies for a billion and have a bust.
They are large though no doubt about that
>>256706556

>>256706835
But Google is Jew
Step 1. Go to a Twitch past broadcast.
Step 2. Copy video ID. It's the 9-digit number at the end of the URL.
Step 3. Paste it in http://api.justin.tv/api/broadcast/by_archive/(video_id).json
Step 4. Copy all URLs ending in .flv
Step 5. Open the URLs to download video files directly, or just use VLC/MPC to stream the files.
Get fucked, Twitch.
>>256706615
But that is how it is. Same reason everyone still uses jewtube. The few competitors are all smalltime underdeveloped sites missing half the features.
>People thinking Google spending $1b on something that may or may not bring in cash, let alone profit
$1b is nothing to Google, like $1 is nothing to you. It's disposable income, they lose nothing and potentially gain a lot.

Technically it isn't if you subscribe to copyright infringment and the idea that piracy = theft
>>256706990
it mutes in 30 minute blocks when it detects any coprighted sound for any amount of time in each block, and yes it very likely would work

>>256706719
>that hardly work.
livestream maybe but hitbox works just fine unless you have some crappy service.
Besides every site that starts to get more people on it starts to upgrade their service and in time charge for it but for now hitbox is a legitimate good site alongside livestream which has had problems since it was first released but has grown so much in little time.

Why is Google so adamant on killing LPs?
I mean for what reason did they buy Twitch? I mean Twitch offered a service to LPlayers that were getting fucked in the ass by google draconian rules.
I have to ask...
Will this REALLY hurt Twitch? I'm not trying to start shit I'm just wondering how badly this will affect them or will it be one of those cases where everyone hates it, nothing changes, and we just have to live with it.
It looks like 90% of people in the comments everywhere so far are pissed and many looking for alternative means like hitbox, but I'm wondering if this will actually hurt twitch enough for them to notice.

The worst thing about this is that nobody will jump ship because of this.
People will just be good goys and and eat whatever shit is put before them.
Sometimes I scare myself with how right I am.

I dunno, I think google is on to something. This seems bad but with the resources google has, maybe something really good can come out of it?
