Twitch.tv update imposes delay up to 60s in streams, viewer interaction impacted
- Thread starter FallingEdge
- Start date
I find it hard to believe the amount of buffering has dropped when I never had any before this month and right now watching some Counterstrike I'm buffering atleast twice a minute even though it's not even using 10% of my bandwidth. I'm not saying they're fudging the numbers, but they're fudging the numbers.

Anyone know if there are options for hitbix in OBS already? I'm on my phone till Monday and can't check myself.

Yes, I just setup a hitbox profile with OBS. It appears to be the recommended settings.

A 60s delay would really kill the point of a livestream in my mind.

Any time you spoke, it would echo, as if you were watching your own stream, so we would hear you and then the stream.
Something like that. I couldn't tell if the game sounds were echoing as well.
If your mic is going through both your streaming software AND DOTA you'll get an echo. that's what I'd check first.

A lot of the changes they've implemented over the past year don't jive well with certain encoder settings. So, it's entirely plausible that whatever streams you're watching are set up in a manner that was compatible with the old method but has problems with the new one, and the streamer just hasn't configured things appropriately. (Basically, ask whoever you're watching if their dashboard says that their configuration is "Excellent" or not. I wouldn't be surprised if you're still having problems even if this is the case, to be honest, but it's worth checking.)
A lot of the new encoding criteria they've laid out for streamers is rather restricting. One specific change that was kind of big is that you're not supposed to use variable bitrate video at all anymore.
Hahaha, that's pretty much how it came off to me.

What do you mean by options? It supports OBS supposedly.

Their twitter account made it extremely clear that they're not thinking about changing it. The only thing missing was an actual "deal with it".
That makes sense. I don't play DOTA so didn't realize the voice could be coming from the game as well.

Well just if it was in the stop down already or if I'll have to input parameters myself.
Blog post up: New Video System: Update after One Week in Full Service
Edit: NVM, meant to update when I saw the post. Forgot to do that and I'm late. I'll show myself the door...

I guess this means we aren't getting our Twitch affiliation...
Are you referring to the Twitch team? It's not an affiliation. It'd be a page that lists channels of GAF members. No more than that really.
That's up to EviLore. I had responded to a PM of his last month, but still no reply-back. I'll try again early Jan when I can set time aside to set the team up, invite everyone, and manage any potential issues that might come up.
Cool. That was still a cool idea.

The comments from the twitch stream is pretty interesting from a technical standpoint. You're actually downloading small files of seconds of video?
Is there someone on here familiar with the technology? They're saying that the large providers went to this and that's what they had to move to as Twitch is getting larger and ultimately things became unsustainable the way they were.

"The new system is more flexible to work with, which will allow for us to do cool things in the future that were not possible with the previous system."
Hopefully that means DVR functions like Youtube live streaming has.
Testing again..

Don't know if my echo is gone. Have put mic in steam it self to a dedicated button but won't be pressing that and feedback would be nice.

I don't think AGDQ ever read the stream chat, or do so in a dialogue capacity.
It does. As well as quality options for everyone who streams, not just partners (paid streamers) like it is now.
As well as reducing the capacity for streamers to interact with their audience, this change also introduces incongruity for viewers, as viewers are often watching different parts of the same broadcast. There was evidence before of some viewers being behind the "front" of the feed by something like 3-4 minutes. Theoretically it could end up being much worse than this depending on how often they view a buffer.
Salty tried dealing with it adding a delay to the bet system but because the delay is kinda random, it works only partially.
Last test for tonight i think i found the problem of the echo.

Say hi in the channel and leave a comment!
Edit : Found the problem! I had my mic also on my webcam lol. Tested with 3 other people and sound was now crystal clear and stream was pretty good thanks for the fellow gaffers! Also more people need to sign up here. Works pretty amazing!

I'm really thinking about trying this new service. One of the things that would help would require a mass following. Unless you're an already established streamer, it'll be tough to get an audience. I've had about 20 second delays on my Twitch channel and it's pretty much unbearable. I pretty much just type now to answer/interact.
Just wait until you get a good run spoiled by chat because you're on delay.
I think I will watch AGDQ in fullscreen for the first time.
Just tried to stream to hitbox.tv but encountered severe stuttering problems. I really would love to use this service because of how awful Twitch is, but I can't stream at an acceptable bitrate.
Also, I did a timing test with a viewer to respond to my chat.
hitbox.tv took 17 seconds
twitch.tv took 27 seconds
anecdotal, though.

SGDQ had so much buffering for me this year that I just had to hide the chat. I think I might carry on doing that.
With that said, events like SaltyBets, VGCW and various other speedrunning practice streams generally rely on the chat in terms of interaction between the viewer and what's going on onstream (ex: SaltyBets with matches starting 30s after bets are made, VGCW chat reacting to what's going on right then and there along with the broadcaster himself, Cosmo and other speedrunners practicing and taking questions and reacting right along with their chat).
Smaller streamers who just do it for fun are generally people who interact more with their audience because they're either streaming for their friends (like I usually do, and I interact with my audience all the time), they're playing games that require choices and may leave it up to their audiences (ex: if they're playing visual novels, RPGs with choices, old CD ROM games with narrative branches like MODE, etc. -- yeah you'd have to sit there for minutes waiting for your chat to catch up and deliver their votes in that case), or various other reasons. It just feels like Twitch is catering to a lot of those bigger events.
And I'm watching someone stream on hitbox right now, and there is a toooooooon of ghosting going on. While the chat is faster, you do have stuttering and stuff. Audio seems fine. It's just the video. :/
For some reason I can't seem to get the video to work on HB. It shows the ad and then nothing. I do hope the service gets some traffic though.

Sounds like Sony needs to provide their own PS+ only streaming service that allows us to view others and interact like with Twitch but with much higher quality streams and none of the bull.

This is terrible, it's so clear that they know they're doing something which won't affect their biggest events but will be hugely detrimental to the smaller streamers.
Did you get the path key and such already? Select hitbox in the thing?
