Alternate Player for Twitch.tv

Alternate player of live broadcasts for Twitch.tv website.

Advantages of the extension player:

• Less stops during playback: if necessary, the player settings can be tuned to your Internet connection. • Instant replay of the last minutes of the live broadcast, optionally with increased/reduced speed or frame-by-frame. • Does not insert ads. Ads that Twitch embeds directly into the stream, in some cases can be shown. • “Audio only” mode. Ideal for music listening. • Allows you to select the device for audio output (if more than one device is available): speakers, headphones, TV, etc. • You can set the size and location of the chat, even while in full-screen mode. • In chat (for example, attached to the bottom or top side of the window) there is room for much more messages and emotes (see screenshots). • You can completely disable the chat: it will not consume computer resources, and you will not be in the viewers list. • Changes volume by mouse wheel. • You can colorize the player interface to your liking. • Takes up less RAM. • Rapid start-up of the player. This is especially noticeable on slower computers. • Allows you to disable stretching the small video to the player size. • Allows you to continue viewing the broadcast in another player, for example Media Player Classic, VLC Media Player, or MX Player. • Large number of useful (and not so) settings. • Supports Chrome 49 and Windows XP and OS X 10.6.

The player can playback only live broadcasts and does not affect playback of videos.
