Twitch player auto-reload
Twitch player auto-reload is a free Chrome extension developed by patrickvrb. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
This extension aims to enhance the user experience on the Twitch platform by automatically detecting video playback errors and refreshing the player. It achieves this by utilizing the native MutationObserver browser API to monitor any changes on the Twitch player frame. When changes are detected, the extension scans for the presence of the Twitch-provided button for reloading the player. If the button is found, the extension simulates a user click event, triggering an automatic reload of the player.
By automating the process of player refresh, Twitch player auto-reload ensures a smoother and uninterrupted viewing experience for users, eliminating the need for manual intervention when playback errors occur.
