Amazon Ending Twitch Roku Channel for Good in September


Back in November of 2017 Amazon evacuated their official Twitch streaming Roku Channel from Roku players. Any Roku users who previously had the Twitch Channel introduced on their Roku at the time got a notice message saying the application will never again be refreshed however that they can at present use it. Unfortunately new Roku proprietors would be not able include the official Amazon Twitch channel now however that is evolving. 

As of late Twitch reported designs to end support for what they call "v3 endpoints" as they move to the v5 rendition. Unfortunately the Twitch Roku Channel keeps running on v3 and Twitch has not reported designs to discharge a refreshed Twitch Roku Channel running on variant 5. This implies on September twelfth at 11 AM Pacific the current grandfathered Twitch Roku Channel will close down. Presently in the event that you need to stream Twitch on your huge TV you will require a Fire TV or Android TV gadget. (Or on the other hand use AirPlay for the Apple TV.) 

"Much obliged to you for being an esteemed individual from the Twitch Developer people group. This change is a piece of our proceeded with exertion to improve designer items which empower makers such as yourself to convey the intelligent encounters that make Twitch what it is today." Twitch said in an announcement on its engineer blog. 

Here are the dates you have to know: 

September 5 – 24 hour shutdown beginning at 11:00am Pacific 

September 12 – Permanent shutdown beginning at 11:00am Pacific
