Mike Liu (ID: 0000003238a0a6bb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/12/2023 its working for most streams, but like others have said, sometimes a stream will be online but after clicking to open the stream, it will show offline. i think its due to pre-roll ads? i find that if i refresh the stream enough times, sometimes a preroll ad will play and then the stream will play after that. but certainly does not happen with every stream for me. but other than that issue, i dont see any ads. edit 8/21 now when ads are playing, the video will go down to 360p, if you refresh the stream at that time, the ads will play. not blocking pre-roll ads anymore in some channels 10/11 pretty much doesnt work anymore
