What is Twitch DVR player?
Twitch DVR Player is a Chrome extension that enhances your Twitch streaming experience. It replaces the standard Twitch player with one that supports DVR, allowing users to rewind and forward within a live stream. It is an invaluable tool for users who don't want to miss any moment of their favorite streams. However, the functionality may be broken if the streamer has disabled auto-publishing of VODs. Notably, the extension allows users to toggle between the standard and the DVR player at will.

Extension summary

Never miss an exciting moment again with Twitch DVR (not actually affiliated with Twitch in any way). Replace the standard Twitch player with one that supports rewinding to any point in the stream! Jump back and forth between live and previous content. Installing the extension will automatically replace the Twitch player with a player that supports DVR. You can toggle between the DVR player and the regular Twitch player at any time.

NOTE: Twitch has added a feature that stops VODs from auto-publishing on some channels (streamer can toggle this on and off). This breaks Twitch DVR Player and unfortunately there's nothing I can do about this if the streamer has it on (they might not know).
