Is it me or something with addon? - Rated 4 out of 5by user9969328, 6 years agoI wish Twitch itself would implement an audio-only stream... Thanks for this addon!
Edit (July 21th, 2025): Downrating to 4 stars; I'm not entirely sure what encrypted streams mean here, shouldn't be all streams encrypted (like DRM-style), or is this some extra encryption on top of the usual HTTPS-Encryption thing? Those streams don't work in this addon. Some clarification would be nice. - Rated 5 out of 5by nx42, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Broodyr, 6 years agoGreat add-on that fixed all my issues with the default Twitch player (constant buffering, random audio stuttering). There's one huge usability feature missing, or at least that I haven't found after searching through all the options: auto-play. It seems like sometimes it will auto-play, but most of the time I have to manually play the stream after opening it. Anyways, thanks for the great tool!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14569974, 6 years agoWindows for Whispers don't open correctly, and the sidebar on the left for live channels and online friends doesn't appear. Other than that, this is a very helpful add-on; I can actually *watch* streams instead of getting a mere slideshow.

- Rated 1 out of 5by innesm, 6 years agoUnfortunately unusable. The video is displayed larger than the screen, and it's impossible to scroll the view to get to the controls. It's a shame because the twitch web viewer is so bad, but this manages to be worse. Even the app help is half off the screen ☺️

posted 6 years agomost likely the browser zoom level is too high. in this case, most sites will be "unusable". press the V key in the player and reduce the interface size. - Rated 3 out of 5by Kaisei, 6 years agoNo way to see channel info without going back to Twitch player. Also, all options are cut off in the chat settings because it puts the chat behind the video player.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13645769, 6 years agoFor some reason it started saving 30 sec clips of the channels I watch at random.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13565575, 6 years agoAny chance we can get a lighter version that only improves the quality of the player without going overboard changing its entire appearance and adding unnecessary stuff?
As it stands right now, it feels bloaty. I had to remove it because for whatever reason, it took me to some other ongoing stream too without me clicking anything.
