Enables radio mode in Chrome web browser

Image from store Twitch Radio Mode

Description from store The extension runs Twitch radio mode in Chrome. Saves network bandwidth, RAM, and other device resources. "Radio mode" is a feature in Twitch mobile app, with which users can play only the sound of the stream, instead of playing the full video. The feature is useful for radio or music streams. After installation, there will be a new "radio" button in control panel of the video. Radio mode can be started/stopped by a single click of this button, and users can engage in the chat just like when they play video streams. NOTE: If you have any issues using the radio mode button, please refresh the webpage and try again. The original source code can be found at: https://github.com/c-rainbow/twitch-audio-web Frequently Asked Questions - Can I use this extension in a recorded video, like past broadcasts, highlights, clips, etc? This extension only works for a livestream. - Can I collect channel points with this extension? No, you cannot collect channel points if the video is not played. - I cannot use radio mode in the main page. For now, the extension only works in the streamer’s channel page. Release notes v0.6.0 (2022-08-21) - Fixed a bug that the radio mode was stuck for ~30 seconds before the audio is played. - Used authorization header to get access token if the user is logged in, to not play unnecessary ads. v0.5.1 (2022-07-12) - Fixed a bug that the radio mode was stuck for ~15 seconds before the audio is played. - Fixed a bug that the radio mode button is always disabled for some people For all other release notes, please refer to https://github.com/c-rainbow/twitch-audio-web/blob/master/.webstore/descriptions/en.txt

(2023-09-16) Klyu BM: It works, even the default ads don't appear, great but you don't earn channel points. press F5 just in case
(2023-09-05) Lucas LL: Useless. I cannot listen any radio
(2023-08-30) Kilabarus: Sometimes the button doesn't appear even after several reloads of the page
(2023-08-21) Alessandro Ricci Armandi: It works, but sometimes stops working and needs to be reinstalled for some reason
(2023-08-10) Carlos Tull: Would be good, except sadly it cant take FFZ into account and use the audio compression function.
(2023-06-01) chaz z: It doesn't work anymore. It's grayed out all the time saying "Radio mode can be used only in livestream"
(2023-05-04) nasko: ONE MAJOR ISSUE - you don't earn channel points while being in Radio Mode. Apart from that, the extension works great when it comes to playing live videos in Audio-only. This is the reason why I am giving it three stars - it does the job, but not fully.
(2023-04-15) David Osmond: Works great, just what i wanted... but i don't use Chrome, would really love to use this, any chance of bringing it to Firefox?
(2023-01-02) AndrStorm: The traffic size is the same as 160p video
(2022-12-09) doćmo: This extension as of 9th of October 2022 seems to not work anymore, hope you guys can make some sort of workaround so it works on twitch again.
(2022-09-30) K Goon: 라디오 아이콘 하나 클릭으로 간편하게 쓸 수 있어서 소리만 들으면서 다른 작업 하기 좋아요.
(2022-09-07) Антон Захаров: Need an option to force start in radio mode always
(2022-08-22) Lucky Spices: It worked the first 2 or 3 days, then it worked for like 10 minutes and now it does not work at all. All it does it pausing the video but there is not sound at all.
(2022-08-22) Gren tree m: It used to play audio immediately when radio mode is turned on but for some reason it doesn't now, and it also stops playing audio sometimes.
(2022-08-13) Dilane Mars: I wanted to test the radio mode, but I can't see the button, despite the last update.
(2022-07-05) Chiro: good does its job
(2022-06-09) Domenic: Installed it, refreshed twitch stream I was watching, the "Radio Mode" button showed up bottom left of stream (By the volume). I clicked it and it worked perfectly, first try. (installed and tried on June 9 2022, so maybe they fixed whatever issues twitch updates caused the app to not work for some?) Would recommend the extension if you're looking for audio only/bandwidth saving.
(2022-05-10) Godz Fire3 (GodzFire): Doesn't work since a new Twitch update that also broke a lot of other extensions. Hopefully this gets updated soon to see if it actually works and with VODs.
(2022-05-08) Omar Patel: doesnt work at all. doesnt show extension option on twitch.
(2022-02-23) N D: 잘 쓰고 있었는데 갑자기 안 되네요.
(2022-02-05) NightBot: Terrible, doesn't work 75% of the time.
(2022-01-09) Jonathan Ramot: It works exactly as intended; however, my channel points stopped accumulating on the stream. Unfortunately, the only way for me to continue accruing points is by playing the video.
(2021-12-19) Milan Nedeljkovic: Perfect! Twitch should have this option without extension, thanks god somebody created this. Now I can play games and listen to the streams in the background, no need to waste additional bandwidth, ram, cpu usage etc.. Love this!
(2021-12-18) AndKp: Очень хорошо
(2021-11-09) Juan Audrica Naufaldy: Twitch Radio Mode v0.3.1 Chrome Version 95.0.4638.69 (Official Build) (64-bit) This extension doesn't work. No "Radio Mode" button in the extension, only Configs -> "Autoplay video when radio mode ends" switch.
(2021-10-20) C Bartlett: Using latest Chrome 95.0.4638.54. Radio icon shows on twitch vods (right of volume slider), but is greyed out and unclickable. Works fine in live streams, but NOT vods. Any alternatives?
(2021-07-27) Andres Rodriguez: No entiendo que hace esto aquí, en ordenador no funciona y la descripción dice que es para móvil. Debería llamarse Twitch Radio Mode FOR MOBILE.
(2021-07-26) Tam: Works perfectly! I wish it could run in mod view but im just glad it works!
(2021-07-20) yosri navyfield: Exactly what i needed, works as intended.
(2021-07-10) Drelkag: Amazing extension, lets me keep up with 1080p60 streams with my horrible connection. 👍
(2021-06-21) Fairly Vinyl (Fi): Clicking the 'Radio Mode' button does nothing for me.
(2021-06-18) LeoIsLame: It worked fine on first install but after i pressed the radio button with the vod paused it stopped working entirely even after uninstalling then reinstalling
(2021-06-10) Gonzalo Hernandez: Working, if it doesn't work press f5. Nice app
(2021-04-19) works
(2021-03-29) Ethem Boynukara: it's works perfectly

(2021-01-22) Emirhan Gül: it doesn't work
(2021-01-18) Connor: Perfect :) Thanks
(2020-11-17) 하나: 무난히 좋네요. 방송을 켜놓고 다른 작업을 하고 싶을때 백그라운드에서는 버퍼링이 걸릴까 우려되고 화질 조정은 하기 싫을 때 정말 유용. 단축키가 하나 있었으면 더 좋을듯.
(2020-10-26) Arthur Hong: 잘되네요 감사합니다

I'm missing this addon in Firefox, any chance it will be published there in the future?
(2023-07-25, v:0.6.0) Godz Fire3 (GodzFire): Radio mode for VODS?
I'm looking for this exact same thing but for VODs I watch. Is this an ability that can be added?
(2023-06-01, v:0.6.0) C Rainbow: ANNOUNCEMENT (June 2, 2023)
Hi everyone, this is the author of the extension. Recent changes in Twitch API made many third party tools unusable, including Streamlink, Alternate Player for Twitch.tv, and Twitch Radio Mode. I am currently working on a fix and will update it as soon as possible. Thanks for waiting.
(2023-06-01, v:0.6.0) chaz z: Not working anymore
"Radio mode can be used only in livestream"
(2023-01-05, v:0.6.0) Andreas Benci: Extension available for Firefox?
Hi! Firstly, thank you very much for this extension - its simple and works well (everything one wants in an extension). I've recently moved over to Firefox and was wondering if this extension is available on firefox? Any similar alternatives I can find are in the firefox extension store are inferior to your one. Thank you!
(2022-07-13, v:0.5.0) C Rainbow: ANNOUNCEMENT (July 12, 2022)
Hi everyone, this is the author of the extension. There is an issue with the recent version (0.5.0) that the radio mode does not start for about 15 seconds after the button is clicked. I am working on a fix and will submit the new version as soon as possible. In the meanwhile, please wait for 15 seconds for the radio mode to start. The reason for this delay is Twitch's advertisement, during which Twitch just sends a silent audio to the extension. I believe the workaround I used for 0.5.0 was now blocked by Twitch, and I'm working on a new one. I apologize for the trouble.
(2022-07-11, v:0.5.0) Salvatore Cresce: Button not working during live streams
Hello, the button becomes gray when I play it during live streams. It used to work until two days ago. I tried uninstalling and re-installing it, but still nothing.
(2022-05-09, v:0.3.1) DN_Sempai: Button present but not accessible
the radio icon appears on Twitch but is grayed out and not accessible
(2022-05-08, v:0.3.1) saku saku: DOESNT WORK
BUTTON IS THERE BUT YOU CANT CLICK IT,USELESS
(2022-05-08, v:0.3.1) Edd “eddto”: Not working any more
The radio button can be seen loading up as the stream is loading and disappears behind the audio compressor from FFZ. Disabling all other extensions doesn't bring it back. Hope it can be fixed. It might be having issues with other extension updates or chrome updating.
(2022-02-12, v:0.3.1) Libertarian Rants: Moderator View
It seems it doesn't work while I'm in the Moderator View, no matter how much I reload the page. This sucks, because otherwise this really has helped with my bandwidth
(2021-12-25, v:0.3.1) Quilliam Wallace: Button doesn't work
So I think it doesn't work after a certain time spent on a stream? It is fixable with a simple refresh, but wanted to let you know regardless. Other than that the extension is great!
(2021-11-24, v:0.3.1) Александр Тудаков: Autoplay radio mode
Hello, how i can do autoplay radio mode, when i'm loading page? I dont want to use button, but automaticly playing will be good
(2021-05-13, v:0.3.0) Tu Tran (chubbstep): Extension doesn't hold viewership
I just tested out your extension and it doesn't hold viewership. I want to offer this to my viewers who are listening to save bandwidth but it's not taking into account viewership. It only does viewership count for the first minute or so and then it dies out. Will you fix this?
(2021-05-13, v:0.3.0) Tu Tran: Can you update extension to auto-enable radio mode
Can you update extension to auto-enable radio mode? I am finding it a bit annoying to have to do this on some music streams I change back and forth to.
(2021-04-25, v:0.3.0) pacoesba: Viewer count
Do you know if twitch will count me as a viewer if i use this extension?
(2020-09-30, v:0.1.0) Brian: No longer working as of the new ad changes
New twitch ad changes messed up adblock filterlists, which now have fixes, however, it also affected this extension
