https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbAQrPNsp6c For the past couple weeks it has been getting increasingly difficult for me to watch any Twitch streams as this buffering issue has gotten worse. There's absolutely no reason that this should be happening. Does anyone have an explanation to why this might be happening?

Every time I go to watch a streamer the stream keeps buffering! This has been happening to me for the past 2 weeks!

Highlights not working?

So I tried to make a new highlight from one of my streams, and the video is not of the time frame I highlighted. Also, in the part where it tells you who much of the video you've watched so far, it will always show the clock at 00:00.... any ideas?

Video not loading / Constant buffering (Flash issue)

Been posting this on some other users questions so I was wondering if I could maybe get this pinned rather than checking back here each time to repost it. "I've been using Chrome and Twitch videos haven't been loading and I managed to get it to work! Every has been telling me to disable the "pepflashplayer.dll" version of flash and only have the "NPSWF32_17_0_0_134.dll" version enabled. Well after giving up and using my tablet to twitch stream for a bit I decided to switch it up and only enable the pepflashplayer, loandbehold my twitch now works. So for anyone with the problem, trying DISABLING NPSWF32 Flash in plugins and ENABLING PEPFLASHPLAYER Worked for me, hope this." So it seems that for some people the only way to get Twitch to work is by using the Chrome version of Flash rather than the Windows version as suggested by Twitch Help. Find how to enable and disable Flash plugins here: http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/915875-disabling-google-chrome-s-built-in-flash-player

Please can anyone help. On my Xbox One when I try and watch a broadcast the screen goes black and all I can see is the chat channel. The only time it works is if the person broadcasting is sponsored by a company, I then see the advert followed by the broadcast. It has me stumped. I have inistaslled / re-installed. Unregged my name etc, and still this happens. It has got to the point where I am thinking of just deleting Twitch. Please can you help? Thank you

Buffering but with high speeds?

$

Hello, I'm starting up a Twitch Gaming channel with various games and I was really excited when my high speed fiber got here, I have more than enough speed to keep the streams up without choppiness or low quality, my problem is whenever watches my stream it buffers every now and then and sometimes just stops altogether and a refresh has to be made. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? and what is causing it? I am new to streaming so maybe I've not done something in the settings? but I'm sure I've set it up fine.

Video consistently crashes

On both my macbook and my desktop on the newest chrome, I get "Adobe flash has stopped responding" and I have to reopen my tab after every 10 minutes. http://www.twitch.tv/ryuzilla/v/3973555 (example video). This is an unacceptable experience and makes me want to seek a better video viewing platform if your consistent issues cannot be rectified.

Massive lag, constant buffering

This has been happening for months. Last year, I could consistently get a stable stream with a latency around 10 - 12 seconds. Maybe it'd buffer once over the course of 3 hours, which is acceptable, really. Gradually, it just stated getting worse... 15 seconds, 20 seconds. Still stable, but now it was buffering maybe once an hour Recently, it looks like Twitch's servers have just stopped giving a s*** entirely. 15 second latency, video plays for 3 seconds (at most)... buffer... 20 second latency, video plays for 3 seconds... buffer... etc. Once it drifts out to about a minute+ of latency, it just stops loading at all. I can't watch anything at all now. I might as well just get a dozen or so screenshots of a game and look at those for the same effect.

I'm currently streaming through Xbone to twitch.My problem is Xbox says I'm broadcasting and I see preview screen fine on xbox, but when I look over on twitch my broadcast is apparently offline. I've tried all fixes like discconect from app, uninstall app, reset stream key and nothing works. When I start streaming broadcast works but is extreamly laggy, so I reset stream key and start stream again, only to find broadcast of offline again when Xbox says it's working fine. Can anyone help please?!?!?

Video keeps going black and no sound after a while.

When I'm watching a stream, after a while, my video will go black and I will have no sound and it seems to be constantly buffing. The only time it is fixed is when I refresh the page. I can still see the video area and when I hover my mouse over it, it says that the stream is still live but I only see the blank black screen and can't hear anything thats going on. This has happened since April Fools day and I thought it was part of that but it keeps happening even today. Please help! I'm using Firefox on a window's computer.

My Twitch stream buffers on and off every few seconds

Hi, I have recently decided to take the plunge into trying to stream and it honestly hasn't been going too well. After doing some research I subscribed for internet that provides me with 10Mbps upload speeds. This upload speed I believe is a solid entry point to start streaming. I because to stream near the end of January using Open Broadcaster Software. I wanted to stream 1080p immediately so I set my bitrate to be around 3500 kbps. I was getting complaints within my chat saying that the video would buffer every few seconds, but looking at OBS I wasn't losing any frames and testing my speeds showed that my internet seemed to be working fine. I googled around and I learned that when starting a stream Twitch doesn't offer much bandwidth and that newcomers should lower their bitrate to fix the issue. I lowered my bitrate to 2500 kbps. The stream was working fine but every once in a while the issue would come back. I lowered my bitrate to 2000 kbps and I recently saw the issue again last night. My question is, is their something wrong on my end or is it on Twitch's end. I find it frustrating that it's happening because quality of the stream is very important. Nobody wants to watch a stuttering stream. How am I supposed to work my way to becoming a Twitch partner if my stream quality is terrible? People have told me that it's "unwatchable" which makes me upset. I have invested my money and time into trying to get my stream up and running. If there is a bandwidth cap for newcomers I would like to know what my bitrate should be set at in order to at least make the stream watchable.

Black stream

I have now had this issue streaming from both Robocraft and Elite Dangerous. When streaming: Audio comes through fine, but the stream is just simply blackened out(confirmed this with several people, it's not just on my end). And then when I end the stream, and it's saved to past broadcasts, the video shows fine, no black screen at all. Black screen during streaming and perfectly fine video once the stream is saved? I've had no issues streaming to youtube in the past. And I use mirillis Action! I have attempted to: reset the stream key change the uploading server on action! change between avi & mp4 video on action! Any thoughts? I have also tried this from other browsers, besides the 5 other people who confirm its a black screen with no audio. Does anyone have a fix for this? Because it's not my side, is there some fix in twitch account settings?
