Livestream/Twitch Switch Update (5/13)
« on: May 13, 2013, 02:49:42 PM »
5/13 - Livestream/Twitch autodetector and buttons

Allows the streamer to use Twitch over Livestream if they prefer, popout video and fullscreen3 have also been updated to reflect these changes. If the streamer is live on Twitch when you first load up IG the page will automatically go to Twitch for you. You can't select Livestream while Twitch is live, it will take you to what it detects is live (Twitch) and vice-versa for Twitch if Livestream is live. The switch process might not be immediate, give it a little time before assuming the worst.

I'd recommend not using the buttons if you don't have to, the default page embed should do everything you need for when and if Twitch goes live. The buttons are just there so if people get stuck in transitions or whatever they can switch things themselves. Using the buttons on the fullscreen page will refresh both the stream and the chat, this is not a bug lol.

Do not egg on or encourage the streamer to use either platform, just because there is a 10 second bit of lag doesn't mean close the borders livestream is down blame the greeks etc, their computer or internet could always be the issue, or even yours. It's up to the streamer which they stream on.

If you don't see the implementation of these things immediately clear your cache, and try pressing ctrl + f5.

Leave me some feedback! I worked really hard over this the last month and would like to hear your thoughts :]

The fullscreen button has been moved below the stream into the bar with the other buttons, this is more convenient when the streamer is live on twitch and stands out more now.
