Twitch androidtv app is not on par with the sideloaded one

by bennyhillthebest

Tried today the androidtv version of twitch, and i have to say the quality of the image is very bad. Even when i select source quality the image remains SD and very blocky, especially on very fast scenes. So i re-sideloaded the normal version of twitch and everything is good, hd and buttery smooth. Why, why nobody is capable of making a good android tv app in comparison to the usual one? Do the developers really need also to dumb everything down only because it is TV? Why the nba app doesn't still have game stats and i need to sideload the espn app for stat checking? This is stupid /rant

I was just telling a friend that the Twitch app is great. It uses the laidback UI perfectly, allows me to sign in, change video quality, hide chat, navigate my followed streams and add new ones.

Idk what issue you're having but its been fantastic for me.

How did you find it? I saw the news that it was officially released - but I can't find it on the Shield TV?

Is it not compatible with it?

I searched "Twitch" and even tried the Voice search and Said "Twitch".

Nada.

If anyone has an issue with the APP freezing on the Nvidia Shield TV after ads play please report it to Twitch. I reported the bug but they can't reproduce the issue yet.

works fine for me but ill stick with the Kodi add-on cause of the ads.
