Download Install Compare

Twitch DVR Player is a Chrome extension that enhances your Twitch viewing experience by replacing the standard Twitch player with a custom one supporting DVR capabilities. This means you can rewind to any point in the stream, switch easily between live and past content, and clip moments directly within the player.

Designed to keep you from missing any exciting moments, Twitch DVR Player seamlessly toggles between the DVR-enabled player and the original Twitch player. Recent updates have added a Theater Mode button, improved clipping reliability, fixed critical bugs including chat input responsiveness, and provided clearer error messages for a smooth user experience. Note that the extension's functionality depends on how streamers manage VOD publication due to Twitch restrictions.

User reviews

The Twitch DVR Player extension is praised for enabling Twitch live stream rewinding and pausing, especially as Twitch itself lacks this feature. It works well for users when streamers have VODs enabled, making catching up on streams easier and providing keyboard shortcuts for convenience. However, several common issues appear: the extension fails if VODs are disabled, occasional bugs like freezing or missing playback controls are reported, and there is no playback speed option. Additionally, users note it disables ad blockers, causing ads to play during streams.
Pros
  • Allows pausing and rewinding live Twitch streams—a feature Twitch itself does not readily provide.
  • Easy to use and works smoothly for rewinding and pausing streams when VODs are available.
  • Highly appreciated by users as it enables catching up on live streams without waiting for VOD release.
  • Supports keyboard shortcuts for seeking backward and forward during live streams.
  • Users find it a great alternative that fills a gap left by Twitch's native player limitations.
Cons
  • Does not work if the streamer has disabled or does not have automatic VOD publishing enabled.
  • Some users report the extension stops functioning or the rewind feature disappears after some time or updates.
  • Lacks playback speed control, which users want to speed up catching up with streams.
  • Has bugs like freezing video or the playbar not functioning properly (e.g., inability to clip from a specific time).
  • Conflicts with ad blockers; users report it disables Twitch AdBlock resulting in ads being shown.

Working as expected! thank you for this extension. It's incredible, the CEO from Twitch said that this feature is "too complex" to implement. He doesn't know anything about his business
