Player now always serving ads #279

Closed ROBOKiTTY closed 5 years ago

ROBOKiTTY commented 5 years ago

Running prebuilt 1.6.1 on Windows.

Not sure if twitch changed something on their end this week, but starting a stream now always results in an ad playing before the stream. This happens regardless of whether I'm starting a stream from the other tabs or clicking refresh in the player.

Yeah, they implemented preroll ads on all the streams they serve, including the ones that orion uses, probably to go along with the end of ad-free viewing for twitch prime subscribers https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2018/08/20/changes-to-twitch-prime-a986f0d8c9a9/
