Description

Video is smooth but audio is continuously stuttering. I tried changing hls-live-edge and stream-segment-threads but nothing changed. I tried watching the stream with a low quality but same problem. You can hear how it sounds in this clip:

Neither a Streamlink Twitch GUI issue, nor a Streamlink issue.

This is a rendering issue of your player while consuming Streamlink's output after a stream discontinuity, where decoding- and presentation-timestamps are messed up. Stream discontinuities are explicitly unsupported by Streamlink. I don't know about VLC, but MPV handles this well in most cases, and when not, you can simply clear its buffer by pressing enter (re-reading Streamlink's output).

Thanks for you answer and sorry for the noise, I'll try with MPV

All good... btw: stream discontinuities = transitions when ads get embedded into the stream by Twitch
