IRC poo poo for twitch

The Good
-Fixes almost every issue with chat (ie. not loading or not displaying messages)
-Because its IRC you get useful features like timestamps and join/leave notifications
-If you are a real nerd you already have a IRC client installed and running almost 24/7
-You can use commands like .ban Name, or .timeout Name Time
-Big IRC clients like MIRC have quite a few plugins for it
-Customizable background and text colors, font, and pretty much everything else, because of this, it is way nicer for chat overlays too
-You can join multiple channels at once if needed

The Bad
-You have to set up an Oauth token, a big nasty string that you wont remember
-As far as I know of, there is no way to have the same username colors in IRC as on twitch
-No emotes(might be a pro for some)
-Harder to setup and use then in browser chat

Recommend Clients if you have no idea what you are doing
-MIRC (super common/popular on windows, but wants you to buy it at start up every time)
-HexChat (open source and will run on anything)
-XChat (A bit old and has basically been remade into Hex Chat)

They have made things quite easy to set up now. Twitch has set up a pretty good guide. Basicly you just point the server at irc.twitch.tv:6667 and log in with your username and oauth key, and join any channel like any IRC channel. Feel free to ask any questions if you can't get it set up, random issue pop up from time to time.

One more thing:
I have been coding a IRC client for twitch on and off for the last few months. It still doesn't have a lot of features fleshed out, but it does fix some issues I have with IRC: Username colors and emotes. I have a github repository set up here, but click here for just the installer. Please note this will only work on windows unless you set it up to compile with mono or something.

Go ahead and request to be added (or removed) if you want, I just picked the most frequent posters from the thread to test. Or, make general suggestions.

If I knew this was how you were going to do things I could have saved you a lot of trouble, I already had something like this for my website, just it didn't work for hitbox or display offline people. And sense it was a get request on my website it would have been pretty easy to wrap some html/css around it.

Edit: Toddy, there is a post somewhere in the old thread where I made a list of OBS vs XSplit, its a little outdated, but it should help you in the right direction.

Okay so I've been trying to set up a stream on Hitbox.tv and I've been having a problem with Open Broadcast Software and my happauge.
Every time I tell it to stream all I get is a small red box overlaying and black screen. Can I get some help with this?

I'm not sure if it works with hitbox.tv from what i understand it should, but the latest software for the HDPVR2 will stream directly, or you can just do screen capture with xsplit/obs.

Polsy, any chance you can add instagib stuff to the streaming page? If so, please put me on it.

As far as I know of there is no public API for instagib out there yet, so till the owner makes it public, or someone finds out how to use it, can't really add anyone to the streaming page. Unless Polsy does some weird thing to find out if people are live, but I'll be honest, if he is doing anything else, at least for twitch and hitbox, he is doing it wrong.

So Geop's solved the mystery of how to tell Twitch's viewer lag to gently caress off.

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s0mr0t

The first step is a bit misleading however. You want to go to Control Panel > Adobe Flash Settings. You'll find it there.

Might wanna put this in the OP toddy.

Everyone do this and stop using hitbox.

Edit: based on what I've read flash and twitch will use P2P connections to help speed up things by building a P2P network of the stream, but I'm guessing someone is a lovely coder at twitch or adobe and it doesn't work and makes things slower, so by disabling the P2P feature you are connecting directly to the twitch server.

I wouldn't say stop using hitbox, its a great alternative service that still has a better latency timer than Twitch...when it works. Once they get out of beta, they will most likely break the "monopoly" on streaming services that Twitch has.

To bad hitbox has audio/video glitches and randomly freeze for half a second all the time, if geop fix really helps stream lag for everyone, I see no reason to use hitbox till they fix the technical issues.
