- Rated 5 out of 5by teriodore, 9 days agoIssue: “Encrypted broadcast” error on specific stream
Browser: Firefox 148 on Linux
Description:
The Alternate Player shows the message:
“This broadcast is encrypted. The extension does not support encrypted broadcasts.”
The stream plays normally in the official Twitch player.
This only occurs with one specific streamer; other streams work normally in the extension.
During testing, network capture showed the HLS playlist loading successfully from Twitch’s playlist CDN, with normal refresh intervals and segment delivery. This suggests the manifest is being served correctly and the issue may be related to an encrypted or DRM-enabled stream variant that the extension does not currently support.
If needed, I can provide HAR logs or additional network details. - Rated 5 out of 5by ChillaxJustDoIt, a month agoCan you add a message bridge/API so I can inject my Twitch "SleepSafe Sound Audio Normalizer" into your player page, e.g. moz-extension://7a621ae0-f468-4129-8951-56d84d276e52/player.html?channel=streamer
Would be very nice, if you can make it possible. Thanks - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18567848, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by COCOLICHE, a month agoI tried a lot of things to solve the stuttering on firefox, this is the only thing that worked perfectly.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sakujo, 2 months agoWorks really well. Should have much higher rating. If you want to watch with the Twitch player, just click on the title on top. Easily solves annoying Twitch ads. Will play in lower resolution for the ad duration, but overall works more often than ublock origin (for twitch)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Adam S. Messinger, 4 months agoIt works well at blocking ads but the typing area in the chat window will no longer work as of last week. It was perfect before that.
Update: As of 11-30-25 its working for me with no problems. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gorzag, 5 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17607442, 6 months agoEverything works flawlessly now. (as of jan 27, 2026) Only issue I have is that it auto-opens the player and doesn't revert with ?twitch5=0 when it notices that there's already one open. Oh, yeah, also pls add middle clicking support on the upper bar cuz it currently makes the UI disappear.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ultraguy24, 6 months agoWorks great overall! solved some buffering issues with some of my streamers. For a feature request, I was wondering if it would be possible to add 7TV support as currently I need to use Chatterino seperately to be able to see 7TV emotes in chat. Thanks for all the hard work!
