I am having problem streaming Twitch.tv on my 512mb Raspberry Pi. I have the latest Twitch.tv add-on from github and my Raspberry Pi stutters and lags after about 10 seconds of perfect streaming, there is no buffering, it just lags and stutters. I have checked the CPU usage and it is only about 15%. The quality is set on Best Possible but it will even lag on the 720p quality option. Also why is there no low, medium, high, source quality options in the addon?

I have tried the settings mentioned on page 16 with all the refresh rate stuff and de-interlacing. I have a 114Mb connection and I can stream Source Quality on my PC no problem.

I have tried overclocking to no avail. Tried all the XBMC distros, currently using Raspbmc Stable.

I am totally stumped, I tried posting on the Raspbmc forum but they deleted my post and refereed me to a sticky post that was totally irrelevant.

Does anyone have Source Quality Streaming working on a Raspberry Pi and what did you have to do? I was thinking of installing Debian with a GUI and trying to stream using Chrome? I thought that would have a lot more CPU overhead though.

I streamed the whole DOTA2 TI3 on the original RPi (128Mb) but now nether will stream at a decent quality.

Any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated! I am totally stumped on this one.

Have you tried changing skins to the basic confluence? Second thought, be sure that all the XBMC addons are fully updated as I seem to have some studdering when its updating, but after, its smooth as twitch allows

You have to be subscribed? What about channels you are following?

Subscription is irrelevant, you can watch past broadcasts for any channel that you are following from the bottom section of the 'Following' menu in the addon.

This is due to the past broadcasts being streamed in a similar way to a live stream and they only have a small buffer which is causing your limitation in skipping forward. Unfortunately this is by design at the Twitch end. You can however jump to the start of any of the 30 minute segments from the 'Current Playlist' menu in XBMC after loading one of the VODs.

It is also worth noting that due to the limitations of control that addons have of the XBMC video player (with regards to seeking to a specific time) we have a known issue that prevents Highlights from starting in the correct place.

For anyone having problems with RPi, the latest version 1.1.3 (available on github here) has some code optimisation and runs a lot better.
