New chrome plugin that adds the chat to a VOD from when it was live. if you fast forward it skips along with you. i've tested it with 4 random vods for random people and it works, so it doesn't seem like it requires anything extra fancy from whoever is streaming. it just works.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rechat-for-twitch/ipplilmaapjjklilmmaccfemdmhkoacd?hl=en

how to use it:
1. install
2. open a vod, any vod.
3. see chat

pretty cool.

I'll probably use this a lot, thanks. I'm surprised Twitch had this info readily available for the addon to access, but didn't give us this option before.

I think what this actually does is scrape the chat from the IRC servers and stores them into a server hosted by the rechat people, instead of twitch actually storing the chat information in the vods.

Why would you want to look at cancer when you're trying to enjoy a twitch vod?

This is awesome if it works consistently. I find that when I rewatch vods (especially at big events like i49 when we were playing and I couldn't watch) that I'm missing out on something without chat

While we are on the topic of chrome add-ons, some add-ons get stuck on "Checking..." after I try to install. It's happening with this one, but not all do this.

Happened to anyone else?

Some people like to see twitch chat, because lots of streamers ask important questions or make statements regarding something posted and that info is now available.

Not all twitch chats are awful, just most of the 1k+ non sub only.

Another thing to note, it only keeps messages for 1 week after initial broadcast.

depends on what you're watching. if a CSGO streamer I watched unboxed a knife I would love to see the chat flip out, that's like half of the experience (with the other half being the streamer going crazy)

This, it seems a bit awkward when you watch moments like that and it just looks like one lonely dude hyping over a virtual item. Now having the whole chat of people over the world to go crazy about it is where it's at!
