TwitchAdSolutions

This repo aims to provide multiple solutions for blocking Twitch ads.

Recommendations

M3U8 proxies (or full proxies / VPNs) are the most reliable way of avoiding ads.

TTV LOL - chrome / firefox / code
Purple AdBlock - chrome / firefox / code

Alternatively:

Video Ad-Block, for Twitch - chrome / firefox / code
Alternate Player for Twitch.tv - chrome / firefox
ttv_adEraser - chrome / firefox (manual install) / code
ttv-tools - firefox (manual install) / code
notify-strip - see below

Read this for a full list and descriptions.

Scripts

There are better / easier to use methods in the above Recommendations.

Don't combine these scripts with other Twitch specific ad blockers.

notify-strip (ublock / userscript)
- Ad segments are replaced by low resolution stream segments.
- Notifies Twitch that ads were "watched" (reduces preroll ad frequency).
- Audio sync issues? Infinite loading on midrolls? Try (ublock / userscript) TODO: Fix these issues #17 #24.
notify-reload (ublock / userscript)
- Notifies that ads were watched, then reloads the player.
- Repeats this until no ads (which may never happen ~ infinite reload).
- You should expect 3-10 player reloads (give or take). Once successful you shouldn't see preroll ads for a while on any stream (10+ minutes?).
low-res (ublock / userscript)
- No ads.
- The stream is 480p for the duration of the stream.

Applying a script (uBlock Origin)

Navigate to the uBlock Origin Dashboard (the extension options)
Under the My filters tab add twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad).
Under the Settings tab, enable I am an advanced user, then click the cog that appears. Modify the value of userResourcesLocation from unset to the full url of the solution you wish to use (if a url is already in use, add a space after the existing url). e.g. userResourcesLocation https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/raw/master/notify-strip/notify-strip-ublock-origin.js
To ensure uBlock Origin loads the script I recommend that you disable/enable the uBlock Origin extension (or restart your browser).

Applying a script (userscript)

Viewing one of the userscript files should prompt the given script to be added.
