There's something wrong either with TM or Twitch HK01 (Hong Kong?) CDN.
My bet is on TM because some other website also sometimes slow to load.

I found a temporary solution but you need "Twitch Buffering Fix" Chrome extension and switch to Seattle CDN server. It's already removed from Chrome Web Store, but you still can find it on Github.

Well today everything seems to be getting worse. More website affected.

As for Twitch, today I think San Jose server seems to be better. Watching sc2proleague right now on Medium. It'll still disconnected every few minutes, but atleast not every few seconds.

Maybe safe, I guess~ I got it from Web Store before it was taken down. But you can try my modified version below, if you still need it.

I always use Google DNS, but yesterday issue got nothing to do with DNS. But since last night everything seems to be back to normal.

By the way, I made some modification to the original Twitch Buffering Fix extension. Even on 8mbps Streamyx, usually I'm unable watch Source quality on our default Twitch CDN (Hong Kong). But then I found the address for Tokyo CDN and so far in my test, I'm able to watch most of Twitch stream in Source quality. But of course Source quality still depends on many variables such as how the streamer set their bitrate and stuff. So if it works, then good. If not, just switch to High quality~

So for those using Streamyx 8mbps, give it a try : Twitch Buffering Fix [ND] 1.0.5.1.crx

Changelog :
1.0.5.1
- Add Hong Kong server
- Add Tokyo server
- Add storage permission to remember the last selected server
- Add white background to the icons

I took the source code from Github and made some small changes as stated in the changelog. That's all. It still the same as the original, just with additional server selection which in my opinion seems to be more logical for us to use from South East Asia.

As I said before, by default Twitch set us to use the Hong Kong server. But for whatever reason I can't watch any stream on Source quality. But when I find out about the Tokyo server, it seems to work better than Hong Kong. So I modified the original extension and compile it for some friends. Might as well share it here.

So its up to you to decide which one is better >_<

Not sure if the IP range are the same for Unifi, but for Streamyx, I reconnect my connection until I got IP 115 and most website seems to work just fine. But to watch Twitch stream I still have to change the cdn server to Tokyo or Seattle to get smooth Source quality.

Check my post in page 1

Try change your IP address. Get a different IP range from the one that you're using right now.


According to Twitch staff on reddit :

"Skipped frames are not related to bandwidth. We renamed the field from dropped frames to help prevent this confusion. A skipped frame is a frame that was downloaded and probably decoded, but could not be rendered to the screen in time."

"Dropped frames are frames that were encoded but not delivered. Skipped frames are frames that were delivered but not rendered."
