Yeah, on OBS, you ONLY put in the stream key, not the path. Took me a minute to figure that one out.

I'd be totally ok with paying a monthy charge to stream a reliable high quality service. As much as this sucks there's no way their operating costs aren't very high. And how much have we been paying for the service? Most of us - nothing.
Don't watch your own stream. It kills your u/d rate. If you want to interact, just pop out the chat.

There needs to be a way for the streamer to manually choose certain users to stream in real time to for when it's a stream where multiple people are talking over Skype. My friend streams occasionally but the delay of like 10 seconds is hard enough for us to not be interactive enough. And there's no way to cut it down. The outside parties could still have the 60 second delay, but all the people actually part of the stream need to be able to interact in real time video wise.

Many streams are like that, and many are not. Dansgaming regularly has 2000 people in his stream. He doesn't use sub-only chat, and yet it's one of the most civil, normal chat rooms I've ever seen on Twitch. It doesn't even scroll too fast to read what's going on. There are other people who have good chat rooms too.

As much as an issue Twitch is at the moment I still wouldn't touch Hitbox with a barge pole, the current CEO of Hitbox.tv was the CFO of Own3d.tv.
Own3d fucked a lot of people over when they were going under leaving the majority of the partners unpaid for months before closing.

Does this have something to do with my PS4 stream yesterday being laggy and skippy as hell? Like, it would run in slow motion, then skip ahead to catch up, pause to buffer, etc. Never seen that before. Or is it just the servers not coping? I have 10 Mbps upload and 100 Mbps download, so I doubt it's my connection.
The best way to get Twitch to improve its service is to make the market more competitive.
If that means supports someone else who may not be reliable- is Twitch being reliable at this time by providing such an inferior product?
With the way Twitch is, I'd give the hitbox folks a 2nd chance.

so that interact feature for the PS4 is pretty much useless now.... also the future take over a friends game/give items feature
USTREAM step your game up so that you could become the norm streamer since Twitch is leaving the title open

Yup. Simply the quality of streaming is why I don't use Twitch.
Call me crazy, I dont think it was ever an intention to use Twitch or UStream to do this. Think remote play.

It's true, which is why I made an account on this site. While it's small, I hope the potential comes.
Free except for the people who are paying customers?
Turbo?
And anyone who subscribes to a channel.

Yes. Hitbox chat is broken.
And regarding Hitbox:
I'm about to give up with this service, personally.
Too many ad's: If I go edit my video's or watch my own recordings in the Video Manager, I'm forced to look at an ad. If I send the link of a video to a friend; another ad. If someone pops open my Stream and starts watching; another ad. (Same with refreshing the stream)
It would be one thing, I think, if you were to monetize your videos, to have ads, but another to force all your users to have them EVERYWHERE at all times. I guess this is the only way they are making money for now, and I hope for their sake, once their user-base increases, this changes.
Going to try Ustream next.
Don't know where else to ask this so I'll ask here. Ever since this update twitch has basically become unusable to me. Steams buffer for me nonstop every few seconds even on mobile quality. Is there any way to fix this? I have no problems watching 720p video on youtube but twitch barely even wants to buffer :l
