Solved Stream slowdown/buffering on twitch.tv
-
I have an issue with twitch.tv. Only in full screen all streams randomly slow down and need to buffer then jump and continue play until it happens again. Sometimes twitch reduces quality but most of the times it stays at source. In normal or cinema mode it works perfectly fine and quality stays at source.
This does not happen with other browser i tried Edge and Chrome and I tried deactivating all extension but that did not help either.

Clearing the cache and other data in vivaldi seems to have fixed that. Thanks

It was absolutely awful for me yesterday. Not as bad today. I deactivated the Twitch adblocker thinking it was that. It didn't help yesterday or today so it doesn't appear to be the cause.
I'm having some weird issue too where these two things will happen at once. I'll get signed out of Discord on desktop in Vivaldi and Twitch will show "connecting to chat" the next time I go to a new stream or reload the one I'm watching. The only way to get things working again is to close out of the browser completely and reopen it.

@ninewest Today I uninstalled vivaldi completely and deleted everything. Reinstalled it tried with disabled and enabled extension and the issue is still there. I give up. I'll use Edge for twitch for now and try later in half a year or something

This is a really old thread, but this fixed it for me:
- Go to vivaldi://flags
- Search for #disable-accelerated-video-decode
- Turn it off and restart Chrome
Hope this helps someone else.

i've had this problem too as of this last week or so, extending in a different (milder) way to youtube videos as well, and while long-term results are pending this seems to have helped already
well, a little, anyways; twitch seemed better but youtube is still playing at like 15 fps for no discernible reason
