The platform’s return to the newest Samsung smart TVs will be happy news for streamers and. Now thousands of people have to go out and buy a Chromecast etc. Twitch (which is owned by Amazon) once had an app for Samsung smart TVs, but it was retired in 2019. Subsequently, a thread was created on the Twitch forum with the following message, “The Samsung TV Twitch application has been removed due to it not being official. Now as a reaction, on the Twitch forum users have been talking about bringing the app back to Samsung. Whatever the reason be, now Samsung Smart TV users have again come to front demanding answers to their Twitch related questions.Ī few of its users want to know when and if the Twitch app will be made available for the Samsung smart TVs. It could also be perhaps because Amazon pressured Samsung into crushing the third-party app. The possibility that the Twitch app was harvesting data from its users remains. In the case of the Twitch app, Twitch had previously opened its API to allow third-party developers to create apps, however, this API is no longer available due to policy changes made by Twitch earlier this year.” Samsung Electronics explained why the Twitch TV app was taken down, “On Samsung Smart TVs, developers can create and submit apps using an SDK (Software Development Kit). It is no longer available for Samsung Smart TVs.” Samsung’s customer service representatives responded to its confused customers with a message that read, “the Twitch app has been retired. In fact, there had been cases in which the whole point of buying a Samsung smart TV was for this app. It goes without saying that the untimely banishment of the app from the Samsung App Store was nothing short of a shock to Samsung smart TV users. However, there had been an unofficial Twitch app that was taken down in April 2019. In fact, Twitch never had an official app for the Samsung ecosystem since 2015. You can open a new issue on the GitHub repo.Twitch is the world’s biggest game streaming platform, but to this date, the platform has not released any official app yet. Where can I report a bug or request a new feature? I'm limited to what is available in the Twitch API, so certain features from the Twitch web or mobile app (e.g., voting on predictions and category viewer counts) are not available at the moment. Why is feature "X" from Twitch not in the app as well? Twitch does not provide VOD chat messages with their current API, so VODs with chat are not possible yet. Hopefully, this changes in the future! Can I watch VODs with chat? Not yet, because Flutter (the framework that Frosty is built upon) doesn't officially support TVs just yet. Will Frosty support TVs (Apple/Android TV)? Is ad block planned?Īd block is not planned because it would probably violate the Twitch terms of service. As a workaround, Frosty has a message delay option that lets you set the delay (in seconds) before each message is rendered. There is a delay of around 15 seconds due to how the native iOS player works. There is currently no straightforward official API for getting the raw stream URLs, so streams rely on the auto setting for now. Why are some Twitch features not in Frosty?įeatures are usually limited by what is allowed in the official Twitch API, so some features (e.g., voting on predictions and total view count for categories) are not yet available.
