Twispero changelog

Twispero 1.1.0 puts a live picture on Home, adds a stream language filter and chat replies, and fixes a crash when closing from the PS button menu and sound and picture drifting apart.

New

• Home's top stream plays live in its picture, without sound. Press X to watch it. It stops after 90 seconds without a button press, and Settings > Twitch can turn it off.
• Pick a stream language with L1 and R1 on Browse or on a category's Live tab. Home's Popular now row and every category's live streams follow it.
• Reply to a chat message. L1 pauses chat on the newest message, Up and Down pick another one, and L1 again opens the keyboard. This needs a Twitch login.
• Audio only for live streams in the quality menu (R2)

Fixed

• Closing the app from the PS button menu while something played could crash the console. The app now stops drawing the moment the PS5 takes over, which happens before the close goes through.
• Audio and video drifting apart after the stream buffers on a slow connection (#1). Thanks to jumboz95 for reporting it.
• A blank line where a title is all Japanese, Korean or Chinese. The app still can't show those characters, so it skips the line now.
• Twitch's "processing" picture on a past broadcast that's still being recorded. It shows the live picture now.

Known issues

• Channel points, and following or unfollowing a channel, aren't possible; Twitch only allows them in its own apps
• No chat replay on videos
• If Twitch plays an ad, the picture can freeze until the stream comes back
• Emoji and Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters are left out of names and titles
• Only tested on firmware 13.60

Install or update

• You need a jailbroken PS5 with etaHEN, kstuff and ShadowMount+
• homebrew.page and ProsperoStore offer the update, or unzip PPSA99474.zip and copy the PPSA99474 folder to /data/homebrew on the console
• Your login and settings stay where they are
• Close the app from the PS button menu like any game

Chat

• Chat next to the video, over it, or off (R1)

Your login
