Alternate Player for Twitch.tv — Alexander Choporov (CoolCmd)

Advantages of the player:

• Less stops during playback: if necessary, the player settings can be tuned to your Internet connection.

• Instant replay of the last minutes of the live broadcast, optionally with increased/reduced speed or frame-by-frame.

• Hides Twitch ads. Ads that streamer embeds directly into the stream will be shown.

• “Audio only” mode. Ideal for music listening.

• The extension automatically opens chests with bonus points in chat.

• You can set the size and location of the chat, even while in full-screen mode.

• In chat (for example, attached to the bottom or top side of the window) there is room for much more messages and emotes.

• You can completely disable the chat: it will not consume computer resources, and you will not be in the chatters list.

• Changes volume by mouse wheel.

• You can colorize the player interface to your liking.

• Takes up less RAM.

• Rapid start-up of the player. This is especially noticeable on slower computers.

• Allows you to disable stretching the small video to the player size.

• Allows you to continue viewing the broadcast in another player, for example Media Player Classic, VLC Media Player, or MX Player.

• Large number of useful (and not so) settings.

The extension requires your permission to access several domains where Twitch stores its video. The list of domains may expand over time.

The player can playback only live broadcasts and does not affect playback of videos.

I do not recommend using the extension without a mouse, because touch screen support is incomplete.

You should not block the JavaScript on the website Twitch.tv, for example in the NoScript extension. Also you should not block the loading of HTML5 video, for example in the Flashblock extension.

Extension is tested only in the Firefox browser. Operability of extension in other browsers based on the same engine, for example Tor Browser and Pale Moon, is not guaranteed.

If you have problems with the extension, first read the help. To do this, in the player right click the view area, then in the menu click “Help”. If you still have questions, then in the same menu click "Send Feedback". If you cannot start the player, send an e-mail to the extension developer. The e-mail address is located somewhere on this page.

This extension is not an official Twitch application. The extension was created by independent developer, who is not affiliated with Twitch Interactive, Inc company in any way. The extension inserts part of the Twitch.tv website — chat — into extension player.

The extension is also available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers.
