No doubt twitch is intentionally disabling their features on third party extensions (bit rate/highres, loyalty points). If you request your data from twitch (Thank you european GDPR) you can see that they track all kinds of details about your settings on their home player.

Seems like only a matter of time until they move to cripple extensions like this one. So many efforts to create friction points, haven't seen any of the other tech companies do things like this. Soon our only agency will be to completely move off using the platform.

Channel points stopped working a few days ago. Otherwise, this addon is great and provides a much needed, and curiously missing, audio only player option.

Assuming it continues to work exactly as it's working now, it's much better than the default.

It's alright and it's got some cool features, but it has some delay from the original stream and you can't use 7TV Nightly and FrankerFacez emote extension in the integrated chat. My friends show me the same stream trough discord and this extension has like 4 or 5 whole seconds of delay from the original twitch player.

no longer earns channel points 24-03-2026

Please add BetterTTV or 7TV compatibility, is the only thing I miss. the Chatterino extension combo is not good. Thank for the great work

Issue: “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.

Please add a darkmode for the chat :)

I need full-featuread dark mode

Can 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

Working perfectly. Thanks!

I tried a lot of things to solve the stuttering on firefox, this is the only thing that worked perfectly.

Works 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)

Was working quite well until recently, it will now infinitlely buffer while ads are playing instead of hiding them like usual. I would suggest finding an alternative, as the last update was some time ago.

Starting about a week ago, now when ads play, it freezes instead of lowering the quality until the ad is over.
