Twitch delay and rtmp #1597

Closed rhazor closed 7 years ago

rhazor commented 7 years ago

Watching Twitch on VLC or MPC-HC delays stream to like 30 seconds and it's impossible to follow chat.

I found some infos that watching through rtmp would reduce delay, but problem is that passing player-passthrough=rtmp in livestreamerrc or simply running a command e.g. livestreamer twitch.tv/channel source --player-passthrough rtmp does nothing and ignores it and runs in default hls.

Also I tried adding these in livestreamerrc, but no change:

hls-live-edge=1
hls-segment-threads=3

I'm on Win10.

Twitch use hls format. Not rtmp.
