Twitch streaming from PS4 is now live

Where is the Twitch app?

I want to watch Twitch, not just stream to it. And I don't want to just use the silly interface that lets me see other PS4 users streaming.

I want a legit Twitch experience.

It's kind of funny that the Xbox One seems to have broadcast to twitch delayed to 2014 while they'll have an app for watching streams at launch, but the PS4 has broadcast but no app for viewing streams currently. I hope this is coming in the future. While I kind of like the silly interface for PS4 streams, I obviously want the ability to watch non-ps4 streams on the PS4.

I hope at some point they allow for quality options as well. I'm not sure if the stream is 480p due to that being all the PS4 can handle without affecting game performance, but I know my bandwidth can stream at higher bitrates than the PS4 does.
 
what's being blocked when streaming? Other than the DUI. I know knack blocks the hidden spoils. and in-game menu. unsure why considering they don't even block the cutscenes. shouldn't even bother blocking it .

You can watch streams on the console.

If I am streaming while In a party does it broadcast everyone's voice?

I don't believe it does. It wasn't doing it when I was streaming. I wish it would. Perhaps if you use in-game chat it will be picked up in the stream, but I haven't tried it yet. Maybe someone can confirm that part.

I was watching a Knack stream and an Ass Creed stream and the player was talking just fine to us.

So that works. Do you mean are all the voices from a part chat? I doubt it...

So is Twitch for PS4 just another application or is it more integrated with the hardware natively? Just curious.

Completely integrated with Ustream as well in the PlayStation Live area on the XMB... It doesn't open a browser or anything.... You don't install it and cannot uninstall it...

Right now, it barely seems like any streams are being archived...

I saw archived footage on those streaming PS4 games, i think you set archive enabled on the Twitch site?

Stream archiving on twitch is actively broken right now, not just for PS4 but for everything. I've lost my last 4 non-ps4 streams to the ether and I have automatic archiving selected.

I thought that's how it operated. So does it utilize the "background" processor like what game recording/dvr does?

Yeah it will pick up your own mic just fine, but I think the guy I was replying to was asking if it would pick up all party chat, to which I said I don't think so. I wish it did so people watching my stream can hear me talking to my friends as we play and it's not just a broken conversation.

Man that stinks. I was really hoping I could get music unlimited to get picked up and party chat. Maybe in the future.

No, it's been broken for a while. If I had to guess, it's premeptive measures to do away with archiving all together. If every console on the market and every PC are going to stream in a method that's easier now than it's ever been, there isn't a video sharing service in existence that can store that much data for any sort of reasonable amount of time.

They don't really have to either as most traditional streaming services can spit out a much higher bitrate copy of streams to a computer.

But if they're getting rid of it, I wish they'd announce it so people can plan for it. I lost a really good Dark Souls segment I had planned on backing up on my youtube because of this.

I don't know if this is the most appropriate thread for this, but it's at least the most recent and relevant in order to get the discussion started.

I'm a partner and admin on Twitch, therefor I can create Twitch Teams. What if I were to make one for GAF? I already fired off a message to EviLore to get his blessing on this, but let's assume he approves and figure out the basic details now so I can get it setup by the end of the day, before the official PS4 launch.

Specifically I need a team name(such as NeoGAF), short team name(GAF) and URL(http://twitch.tv/team/neogaf) to create it. The rest, such as color, banner, and logo can come later. Membership would of course be open to all GAF members.

What's a Twitch Team? Here's the Twitch Admin Team I'm on, and there are many others.

I would definitely be interested in this, for sure.
 
Has anyone received error ce-353230-3 when trying to stream? I have tried resetting my stream key and that did nothing. I can't find info on this error anywhere.
 
Ever since last night I can't get most of the Twitch streams to work on my PS4? A few did but most were just constantly loading with no end to it. On the other hand every Ustream stream I tried worked so I figured this is Twitch problem if anything. Is anyone else having this issue?
 
I really think that game streaming will definitively be one of the biggest surprises of this new gen. I just decided to watch some streams last night and i was a surprised to see that the Twitch stream with the most viewers at that time was hosted Agry Joe who was playing Knack, you can all imagine that combination.

Not sure if it will ever be huge, but I think it will definitely continue to grow and be a staple in the console community. We just need more PS4/Xbone owners and more games. In a few years I expect to see dozens of console games with 1000+ viewers on Twitch. That may not sound like that big of a deal but growth takes time.

But until then, is anyone seeing the same problem I'm seeing with "Live from PS"? Which is that not every Twitch stream works(the vast majority actually) from within the PS4. But every Ustream stream works just fine. Just curious if this is me, Twitch, or something else?
 
Having trouble watching Twitch streams on my PS4 today. I can only watch the first one listed, a FIFA stream, all others show a loading animation. UStream is fine. And I can watch the Twitch streams from my PC fine, any ideas what is going on?

edit: seems to have sorted itself and is fine now.
 
Anyone have any tips for better quality? My upload is 30 Mbps, so I have to assume it's a Twitch/PS4 settings issue. And yes, I selected "Best" quality on PS4.
 
Managed to be the most popular Blacklight: Retribution streamer for a little bit! 6 whole viewers (including me and my sister)
 
Why are people saying they cant watch streams from the PS4? Go to "Playstation Live" on your console and watch any Twitch/Ustream stream.

Nope. I'm hardwired on Best. Certain games look like dump the entire time. I think it's because the speed test on the PS4 even hardwired, is only 2mbps upload while my wireless PC is 35mbps upload.

I suppose I can start collecting names and channels to add if/when the Team is up.

I am up for this. I was going to start streaming my Killzone MP sessions I play with GAFers but something official would be nice.
 
My account was banned earlier this week from streaming Playroom, and two emails later I still haven't heard back from Twitch about un-banning me.

Should I just give up and create a new channel?

Me neither man. And my streams were laughable in content compared to others.

I would say if you create another channel that voids what I (and you) might want to put in our emails to them as a plus for having our channels reinstated i.e. "I got banned but I'm not going to make another channel like I could easily do , I want to come to you and talk fairly to you about this first" defense. And if it's an IP ban it wont matter anyway, which 80% chance it most likely is. Also Twitch staff are on holiday until Dec. 3rd. So if you haven't heard from them by now (us) it is not likely until mid next week. Just create a Ustream account and send a message to twitch that way (how do you like losing members from your site?) I've tried to be patient and fair with them but I might have to do something if I don't hear back from them by this week, This is ridiculous.
 
Is there an optimal download speed for viewing PS4 streams on the Twitch website?

My friend has been trying to watch my PS4 streams on his pc all weekend and it's been lagging like crazy for him. My upload speed should be 7mbps which should be ok right? His internet is not the best so I was wondering if his download speed could be causing the lag?
Any tips at all to get rid of this lag? Or could it be down to the PSN issues this weekend?

Definitely interested in this as well, I filled out the form. I mostly stream fighting games, and random Wii/Wii U stuff (Rhythm Heaven Fever. :3)

Not sure if I already signed up but if have a PS4, a Twitch account and I already stream on PC and PS4. Plus I have a fast connection.
