It's a huge improvement on both my HTPC (which is hilariously CPU-bound at times) and my main PC (which isn't). 60fps streams actually show up properly now. Twitch's Flash viewer is assssssssss.

That's...unfortunate lol. It'd be fine if you could at least see PP or something like you can in Endless. That kinda sucks. I lost like, 1 BP/PP since his rank was so high and I stopped caring about my W/L ratio forever ago so whatever, but still just annoying.
please give me links as to where i can download and how the hell i do this witchcraft? i use vlc so that parts done.

Well it happens to the opposite side too when someone wants to gain more player points at higher levels but end up facing people with low player points. Capcom really should allow you to be matched up with these people instead of the one sided search for players of same skill or greater..
You can watch twitch streams through VLC? Teach me sensei
apparently its friendly with linux but gotta use an add-on for windows, or get it on github and a compiler -_-
Glad you guys mentioned this, then! I'll definitely check it out.
There's a compiled binary for Windows, you goof. Just install it and then open up a command prompt and enter "livestreamer <stream URL> <quality (just enter best unless you have no bandwidth)>"
- Install VLC.
- Download Livestreamer (Installer is easiest.)
- On the command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd) type:
Code:
livestreamer twitch.tv\STREAM_NAME_HERE best - Enjoy way smoother streams.
The very first thing to do in these types of situations is to figure out the estimated total, going over a little just in case. Then confirm the number of people willing to chip in. And from there divide the total amongst the number of people and figure out the required amount a single person can throw in. I'm pretty sure there is a good number of people willing to chip in so nobody has to throw in a huge amount of money but that being said I can throw in any amount.

Man, this is some next level stream monster shit, you're gonna love this.
Read these instructions:
http://quickybaby.com/technical-support/(guide)-better-twitch-tv-stream/
Download livestreamer from here:
https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/releases
btw, this is what worked for me on windows 7
Oops, wrong link for instructions, fixed it. Also, I saved the text file using .bat and used the "all files" option.

The installer for Livestreamer adds livestreamer to PATH, or you can do it yourself. Doing so means you just type "livestreamer www.twitch.tv/pr_balrog best" and you get whatever stream you want.
HANDY COMMAND LINE TIP: Hold ctrl+up to go back through your command history. If you close out of a stream and want to re-open it, this makes it super fast.
Oh, and you can also watch archived videos via Livestreamer, but there's no functionality to seek certain times in the VOD.
thanks just did that.
I'd imagine you just copy to /usr/local/bin/
Totally lost my shit reading this line.
I'm going to have to check this out; to be honest usually when I'm watching twitch now I'm using the 360 app on the TV while playing Diablo or whatever on the computer, but for when I'm watching on the PC this seems like a good solution.
Ah, did not know this. All the instructions I saw had shown the full Program Files path written out, so I unzipped it into my own.
*jizzes in his pants*
Edit:
i typed in source for quality, im assuming best and source are the same thing.

Oh man, Bum is streaming in 60fps. Mmmmm.
I will say that I don't like that this gives Twitch no ad money at all. If I could have Livestreamer whilst giving Twitch ad money I'd be happy.

Well since livestreamer is based in Python, and Python comes with Mac and Linux, all you need to do is install pip (http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html), then do
Code:
pip install livestreamerstill on for AE tonight?

I'm gonna mess around with this for sure.
Also twitch through VLC? So gonna mess with that too, tired of twitch being laggy when it shouldn't be :V
yeah bro, ill be on at 9.
I'll be closer to 10:30
Yeah, I get that. I'm not an internet nihilist who is offended by the existence of ads, but if I can't even watch what is offered then what's the point?
Almost -- on Twitch, Source is the best quality available, but Best will give you the best feed available, whereas if Source isn't available and you enter that, it'll error out. It also supports streams from other sources (like Hitbox, Azubu or mlg.tv).
blargh! ill probably be available for only half an hour to an hour since im preparing for a trip. lets see if we can get some sets in then.
now life is complete horseman.
dont know what azubu is but i like it! so much power in my hands!

as I said I'll compile a list later on tonight if you can either post in the thread or send me a PM I can put you down for whatever amount you think you can help chip in for. as long as we have enough people to cover the cost of the trip I can go ahead and pay ahead to secure the tickets. then we can figure out how to gather the money afterwards.
if we can get a little extra it would be nice to rent a q an electric wheelchair so he's more mobile in Las Vegas by himself

I see that. I guess if I end up getting heavy use out of Livestreamer I will subscribe to Turbo to support Twitch anyway.
kk, I'll bop you for 30 mins >;(

Just wanted to mention how good Jay Viscant was at commentating Marvel. Very entertaining and informative. More events should have him for commentator IMHO.

Markman should donate some sticks for raffles.
I am not taking part in raffle-gate. However I would love to support GAF FGC in any way possible. Someone structure something fun.
I'm actually doing a giveaway right now: http://markman23.com/2014/05/26/contest-fightstick-giveaway/
You guys should read some of the comments, they are GREAT.

Even thought he had a 55 loss streak, he still keeps on playing

Holy shit. Also that username.
Que?
its almost as if it was planned out.
Also for commentary, I honestly believe Smash has the best commentators, they always know what they're talking about! At least the one's where vgbc is streaming. For Marvel, the one time Marlinpie and ChrisG commentated at next level was godlike, they knew what they were saying and provided insight for the matches. If commentating is going to be done, leave it to the pros or retired pros like Seth Killian or UltraDavid/UltraChen.
