@Cheeseness Would you perhaps consider dual-streaming to somewhere like Odysee or even YouTube? Twitch is very unresponsive and it tends to buffer a lot even with reduced video quality settings. 🙁
@sudo AFIK, Twitch is the only streaming platform that implements an IRC interfact for chat, and that's what I'm testing right now.
FWIW, I only stream low quality anyway ^_^
@Cheeseness I haven't really streamed anything before so I wouldn't really know. However, I tried reducing the quality to 360p and it was still buffering. I had to use NoScript to make it functional enough to watch one of your streams.
If it's too difficult though, that's fine. I just wanted to ask anyway. By the way, I really enjoy your streams. Keep it up! 😄
@sudo But yeah, I don't feel like I have the bandwidth to dual stream (I can barely push 1500kbps to Twitch as it is).
Long term plans are to switch to something like Owncast, but that's a long while off unless I sell a lot of copies of my games in the near future
@Cheeseness That would be cool! Here's to you selling millions of copies of your games! 🥂 🍾 🎉 😁
@sudo Ha ha, fingers crossed!
@Cheeseness I had already considered getting 'Streamlink'. However, I just didn't want to install another piece of software on my computer. I don't really use Twitch much at all anyway. I did check if it was possible to do it just using something like VLC. It's definitely not convenient! 😂
@sudo Ah, there's a way to get the RTMP URI without a lot of fit-arsing around, but I can't recall how off the top of my head and don't want to get too sidetracked while streaming. If I remember, I'll let you know!
@sudo I might've been thinking of this https://github.com/dudik/twitch-m3u8
@sudo Ah, in that case, you may have more luck watching via a less-bloated, dedicated video app like VLC rather than via Twitch's web interface
