Twitch.tv playback often only plays audio #944

When using livestreamer to play back a twitch.tv stream on the 'best' quality, frequently the player only seems to get the audio stream, not the video stream.

Sometimes restarting playback multiple times eventually gets me functioning playback, other times the stream never works no matter how many times I try.

I don't see anything interesting with loglevel debug. I suppose this could be a player issue:

My only livestreamerrc change is:

This is a known issue with mpc-hc (See #346)
