Lag on Twitch with UPC (Fix)

mad turnip

So for the past like year or so there has been various fixes for this, the main issue at hand appears to be UPC throttling video services in general.

To get around this you just need to use a proxy for twitch and this can be done by using livestreamer, this will stream twitch through your video player (I use vlc).

A download link for livestreamer is here:

https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/releases/download/v1.7.5/livestreamer-v1.7.5-win32-setup.exe

github page:
https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/releases

once you install that, just create a new file and call it "twitch.bat".

(You may need to go into control panel-> folder options -> hide known file extension types (disable))

and in it insert: (64bit)

@echo
cd c:\program files (x86)\livestreamer
livestreamer.exe --https-proxy https://37.59.120.137:3128/ twitch.tv/nathanias high
@echo off
pause

(32 bit)

@echo
cd c:\program files\livestreamer
livestreamer.exe --https-proxy https://37.59.120.137:3128/ twitch.tv/nathanias high
@echo off
pause

to change stream just edit the "nathanias" part.
to change proxy setting just edit the ip and port.

for a list of free HTTPS proxies look at: http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/

once you have all this done, just run twitch.bat.

I hope this covers everything, and if anyone has any questions go ahead, as I'm sure its not very clear for people that aren't familiar with this kind of software.

Thanks for this. Only found out earlier UPC was throttling my internet (and this is paying for one of the higher end packages).

Very frustrating, but this works very well, thanks

if someone is in need for a proxy capable of doing 1080, just send me a pm.
