I had the same problem, and I have spent an infuriating few days trying to figure out what was wrong. Finally tonight a friend that really has no IT background gave me the solution to fix my problem. I'm not sure it'll work for you, however what fixed mine was going into the settings of the twitch app itself, and changing the stream quality to "best possible" Now all streams play, small or large. Which makes a small amount of sense to my frustrated brain. Smaller streams don't get transcoding, so lower/higher quality options would not work with them. Maybe it will make less sense when the frustration fog clears my brain, but right now, I have all twitch streams on my tv, large streamers and small. So I'm quite happy.

I have this error on all amateur streams.
About 2 weeks before NY all works fine.

It's a bit unfortunate that the intermediate solution is to set the video to "Best possible" since I have limited bandwidth and watching some streams that broadcast at insane bitrates pretty much prevents me from doing anything else on the internet. Better than no solution, I guess.

BTW, has anyone contacted the developer? I was just assuming he comes by here and reads the thread from time to time.

All of the streams show the offline channel logo. I really wanted to see the preview thumbnail when they are online, much like the Roku app or even the website.

Therefore if anyone wants them, I have fixed it:

Goto line 65 of converter.py in the twitch plugin folder.

You should see the following:

Code:

def convertStreamToListItem(self, stream):
        channel = stream[Keys.CHANNEL]
        videobanner = channel.get(Keys.VIDEO_BANNER, '')
        logo = channel.get(Keys.LOGO, '')
        return {'label': self.getTitleForStream(stream),
                'path': self.plugin.url_for(endpoint='playLive',
                                            name=channel[Keys.NAME]),
                'is_playable': True,
                'icon': videobanner if videobanner else logo,
        'thumbnail': videobanner if videobanner else logo
        }

Change it so it looks like this:

Code:

def convertStreamToListItem(self, stream):
        channel = stream[Keys.CHANNEL]
        preview = stream[Keys.PREVIEW]
        videobanner = preview.get('large', '')
        logo = channel.get(Keys.LOGO, '')
        return {'label': self.getTitleForStream(stream),
                'path': self.plugin.url_for(endpoint='playLive',
                                            name=channel[Keys.NAME]),
                'is_playable': True,
                'icon': videobanner if videobanner else logo,
        'thumbnail': videobanner if videobanner else logo
        }

Whalla, you now have live stream previews. You can change the 'large' to small or medium. I chose large for the better quality.

Quote:The texture cache in the future will be auto-cleaning, i.e. textures that are stale will automatically be cleaned out to save disk space. Also, the music and video artwork will be moved to the new system. This will allow the cached versions of these images to be updated whenever the original image changes (eg you replace the fanart with a different version).
In addition, the texture cache will be updated to automatically tell the image control that it needs to refresh itself. Currently if the texturecache detects that a new version of an image is available (whether it be a .dds version or an updated copy of the original image that has since changed) then all that happens is the new version gets re-cached. Thus, you only see the new version of an image once you view it a second time after any change (this allows the image to be free'd from memory and reloaded from the freshly updated version).
