ttv-lol / extensions Goto Github PK

Maybe twitch has updated something thats caused TTVLOL to break... disable TTVLOL and twitch works again. But its use (or maybe all blockers) causes twitch error #2000.

Now when i get an ad in a stream this appear instead

Started to get ads on twitch.tv in the UK, they started appearing today around 3 hours ago.

getting fullscreen video ad again today, no purple screen or lower stream quality

As posted on Reddit:

"Just a warning to those using TTV LOL, especially if you are a streamer. The extension currently leaks your Twitch user ID and personal IP to their Russian proxy. For obvious reasons this could be a problem. I have pasted an example below of the redirect URL used.

Hopefully the devs will remove this information from it's extension, as it shouldn't be needed. Not trying to scare people away as I'm sure it was just easier for them to implement it this way but still, it is a security risk.

This does not apply to Purple Ad-Block, which only sends the channel name."

Tested this myself and it does leak that information. Haven't tested purple ad block though.

If you could make it so that only the channel name or vod is is sent, that would fix it.

figured it out plz close it

this website is down https://api.ttv.lol/ and its caussing an issue

First I've seen of this thought you might like to know.

Around 13:26 10/2/2021 MYT (UTC+0800) I got this error. After disabling the extension Twitch run fine.

I noticed that lately my Twitch streams were buffering a lot more often on 1080 60 quality, despite every other website seeming normal, so opened the advanced video stats on Twitch and noticed that the buffer size of the stream was very low, hovering around 1-1.5 seconds if not constantly buffering. Of course, using lower qualities helped stabilize this. After disabling TTV-LOL however, the buffer size for 1080 60 shot back up to normal, 4ish seconds in my case.

I'm no developer, or web designer, so I dunno if this is something twitch changed overall recently, or a direct thing to stop TTV-LOL, but it'd probably be a good idea to look into it in case they're about to do something to really hinder it.

I'm getting midrolls on latest firefox and via the xtra twitch android app. Anyone else? (both using ttv-lol).

Some emotes are blocked in chat and all vods and twitch clips are being blocked like it is treating it like an ad. I am not seeing any options to allow clips?

We all know that sooner or later twitch is going to stop this, can show us how to self-host it?

Looks like Twitch undid your handy work again.

Ads are back as of today. Thanks!

its making all amazon links i click go to your referal link

I have read that apple recently made an Xcode tool that allows you to convert this from a chrome to safari app. It'd be greatly appreciated if you made a version capable on safari.

When using TTV.LOL my viewership does not count towards the stream's viewer count. When I disable the extension, it starts counting me.

We recently learned that Twitch applies trust scores to IP ASN groups when calculating the viewer count as a way of combating viewbotting, so I expect this issue happens because my viewership from Twitch's point of view is coming from your network and not my own IP address. It's not a very pleasant trade-off; I feel bad seeing my friends have four people chatting and yet only one viewer because we're all using this extension to block ads.

Is there any easy solution to this? I don't know much about your extension's internals but I wonder if there's some way of having my browser load a direct 160p stream and hiding and muting it. This way I'd count as a viewer and the streamer would get ad revenue as well.

Although this does block prerolls, it does not mitigate midrolls (manually initiated ads) at all. Moreover, it does not actually block prerolls, either, unless the host page has just loaded. That is, if the player has been loaded but paused for some time, resuming the player will not block the incoming preroll either.

Not working at the moment

Twitch is showing ads again

twitch player is stuck at loading and wont play before the network error 2000 appears. i have to disable ttvlol for the stream to work again

I only have 20 ms latency to ttv.lol and no packet loss after running a traceroute. I don't understand why/how I have buffering every 2 seconds. Using latest Chrome. Additionally, I have 1gbps internet
My friend with about 50 ms latency to ttv.lol experiences no buffering with the extension enabled.

Hi captainswain, first of all thank you so much for this extension, it's genuinely improved my quality of life. It brings happiness to my daily life. I hope you will never succumb to legal threats from Twitch.

I've noticed today that the extension has stopped working. Usually when I get the black screen / network error it can be resolved by refreshing a few times. But now even after refreshing, it stays black, and stream never loads. Hope you will be able to fix this, and thanks for your time. If it matters I am using the google extension on microsoft edge chromium browser.

I am unable to install the extension on Firefox. The extension page (listed in the README file of this Github), links to a dead page stating the extension is not found.

Although the extension does block the ads that appear when you first go into a new stream, it also makes ads appear on channels you are subscribed which is incredibly annoying. Although this can be solved by pressing F5, I can't be asked to alt+tab every 10 minutes to skip them. Could this please be fixed?

This may help for future:

Twitch has this in their settings.js file. I'm assuming, if they block prime subs in IN, they also won't be advertising there, as they can't offer ad-free streaming to subs for India users. Might be worth trying a proxy in India as a fallback in case Russia does give back an ad.

      "prime_blocked_regions": [
	"IN",
	"IND",
	"CU",
	"CUB",
	"SD",
	"SUD",
	"IR",
	"IRN",
	"CHN",
	"CN",
	"SY",
	"SYR",
	"PRK",
	"KP"
]

"prime_sub_blocked_regions": [
	"IN"
]

Russia doesn't seem to be listed, so I'm guessing that's why the odd ad still comes through.

With TTV LOL on the streams refuse to load, but disabling TTV LOL allows the stream to work just fine. I assume "they" just updated something.

api.ttv.lol is giving error 521 and due to that the adblock is not working

Getting a pause every 5 or so seconds, that lasts a few seconds at least. I am using Brave. Is this because I am on Brave, or is there something else?

Seems that they now detect this and insert a purple screen instead of an ad warning about third party extensions.

As of today 25/10/2021 the extension is not working. It causes twitch to give the error. #2000. Disabling the extension fixes this error.

As of today it completely stopped working. (Error #2000)

Guessing is server side @captainswain

Hello. Love this extension but it seems to have stopped working today. I'm on FF and my friend is on Chrome, both having issues seeing ads. Thanks for the hard work.

I just installed the extension yesterday morning and it has a very odd and concerning behavior when bringing chrome into focus. If I am playing a game on the other monitor, and I click onto chrome (at least while watching twitch), after a delay of a couple seconds, the window loses focus, but even more concerning is that it seems to focus to some invisible window that pops up a red x thought bubble message that I am only allowed to type certain letters in that field. This is clearly not something the game is doing, and it stops happening when I uninstall the extension.

82% of the size of the extension is taken by the "common/img" folder, consider converting those images to svg instead.
Extension size being 5x times heavier than usual is a red flag for malicious intent

It works on actual livestreams but when it comes to VODs we get ads once in a while or when starting a VOD. It doesn't show the actual AD but we hear audio and the VOD is stopped.

Ever since I started using TTV-LOL I started seeing this error code with some streams. Refreshing the page doesn't seem to help, or clearing my browsers cache. I have to press the refresh button under the message

at least more than 10 times for it to finally load. I can't seem to replicate the issue because I very rarely get it on the streams that I never see them on. But I did notice that I get the error message at least 99% of the times on xQcoW channel. Why does this happen?

As of approximately 3:00PM PST on 08/18 (time of posting) all Twitch streams have been prevented from loading if the extension is enabled. I am using Firefox 103.0.2 (64-bit) for Windows (10). I have also been told the issue is occurring on Chromium-based browsers as well, but have not tested it myself.

Why is the extension code different to the code on here? I have tried chrome and firefox but both say last updated april. I looked at the code from the downloaded firefox addon and its different. Mainly it doesnt fix the userID/IP leak. Its a bit misleading to show a github link that has different code to the actual extension.

TTV.LOL API is being unstable for the past 2 weeks. Sometimes is online but after a minute is giving error 520 and then coming back. It's being like this since 2 weeks ago.

We have fixed the bug that forced on low latency mode. Let us know if you are still experiencing the buffering, it should hopefully be fixed.

Originally posted by @captainswain in #16 (comment)

I posted about it as a comment under the last thread but the new bug is that we cannot put low latency mode on at all now. It is essentially forced off permanently now, the button doesn't show up under the advanced section at all.

Any plan on adding firefox support?

Since today I'm getting the 2000 Network error every time I load a stream on Firefox. After disabling the addon everything works fine.

Been watching a few streams again and I'm getting midrolls. Not much else to contribute. Let me know if you need more info.

Edit: It just happened on a stream I'm subscribed to. . .

The value & purpose being if this ever gets removed from most likely the Chrome Store first.

And updates would be pushed out faster to users.

Just food for thought.

Thanks so much for the addon regardless!
