Roku Stick是将内容流式传输到电视的最具成本效益的方式之一,但它并不是观看 Twitch(watch Twitch)的最简单工具。虽然Roku曾经有一个官方的Twitch频道,但现在已经没有了,而且这个非官方频道也被删除了。
如果您想在Roku上观看(Roku)Twitch,则必须使用非官方方法。我们已经测试了其中的几个,以找到最有效的选项。但是请记住,在为(Bear)Roku重新发布官方频道之前,可能会出现很多故障。
如何通过 Twoku(Roku Through Twoku)在Roku 上观看Twitch
当前设备上 Twitch 选项的最佳方法是通过非官方的Twoku应用程序。它仍处于 alpha 阶段,因此缺少很多功能。例如,您不能参与聊天(甚至不能看到它)。搜索功能也受到限制。
希望随着Twoku的发展,将会有更多的功能可用。这是在您的Roku设备上设置Twoku的方法。(Twoku)
- 转到https://my.roku.com/account/add。
- 在搜索栏中输入twoku并选中验证码的复选框,然后单击添加频道。(Add Channel.)
- 在出现的警告中 选择确定。(Okay)
- 在下一个弹出窗口中选择是,添加频道。(Yes, add channel)
完成此步骤后,您可以在频道阵容中找到Twoku。选择它以启动Twitch。您将能够查看当前流、搜索特定频道或类别等。您也可以登录自己的Twitch帐户。
- 导航到Roku 设备上 的登录按钮。(Log In)
- 在您的移动设备或计算机上,转到two-web.herokuapp.com。
- 输入您在屏幕上看到的四字符代码。
- 阅读Twoku所需的权限并选择屏幕底部的 授权。(Authorize)
完成此操作后,您的Roku设备将切换到Twitch主页面。但是,您将能够在侧边栏上看到您关注的频道并选择其中的任何一个进行观看。您无法从Twoku频道关注新频道,但它是在不使用移动设备的情况下 实际观看Twitch内容的最佳选择。
如何通过屏幕(Screen)镜像在Twitch上观看(Twitch)Roku
如果您不想将您的Twitch信息提供给随机的非官方应用程序,您还有其他选择。Roku可以在您的 iOS 设备上 镜像屏幕。(mirror the screen)
- 在您的移动设备上打开Twitch应用程序并选择您要流式传输的频道。
- (Swipe)从屏幕右上角向下滑动以打开命令中心(Command Center)。
- 点击屏幕镜像(Screen Mirroring),然后点击您的 Roku 设备。
- 如果这是您第一次在Roku上使用(Roku)Airplay或屏幕镜像,您将被要求输入一个四位数的代码。此代码出现在您的电视屏幕上。
此选项在您的手机上显示聊天,并允许您与其他观众交谈,同时将流本身留在电视屏幕上。您还可以通过移动应用导航到其他频道。会有暂停,但新频道会自动出现在您的电视上,并在您的手机上留下聊天记录。
如何通过网络浏览器(Web Browser)在Roku上观看(Roku)Twitch
Roku允许您通过几个不同的选项设置和使用网络浏览器。最简单的方法之一是从笔记本电脑镜像屏幕(或通过 Miracast 等应用从 Windows 10 PC 投射。)(cast from a Windows 10 PC)
对于移动设备上没有Twitch(Twitch)应用程序的用户(或者只是不喜欢Twitch移动应用程序的用户,这是一个更好的解决方案,因为与桌面版本相比,它还有很多不足之处。)
- 在屏幕右上角的Mac桌面上选择命令中心(Command Center)图标。
- 选择屏幕镜像(Screen Mirroring)。
- 从出现的设备列表中选择您的Roku设备。(Roku)
Mac屏幕上的任何内容都会出现在电视上。如果这是您第一次将Mac连接到Roku,系统将提示您输入代码。完成后,您可以在浏览器中打开Twitch并完全访问所有服务,而无需中间应用程序。
如何通过Airplay在Twitch上观看(Twitch)Roku
在Roku上观看(Roku)Twitch的一种潜在方法是通过 Airplay(through Airplay)。类似于屏幕镜像的过程;事实上,它的运作基本遵循相同的基本原则。但是,如果您不想镜像屏幕,则可以轻松激活Airplay。
- 打开Twitch应用程序并选择您要观看的频道。
- (Swipe)从屏幕右上角向下滑动以打开命令中心(Command Center)。
- 点击媒体控件右上角的 Airplay按钮。(Airplay)
- 从兼容设备列表中点击您的Roku。
内容将显示在您的电视上,而聊天本身仍保留在您的手机上。切换到不同的流会导致显示短暂暂停,但随后也会在屏幕上显示内容并将聊天留在手机上。
虽然最简单的解决方案是让Roku恢复官方Twitch应用程序,但似乎很快就会发生这种情况。这很可能是由于亚马逊对Twitch的所有权,以及他们对Fire TV 中竞争流媒体设备的所有权。
不过,在此之前,这些方法是在Roku设备 上观看Twitch的一些最佳方式。(Twitch)
How to Watch Twitch on Roku
A Roku Stick is one of the most cost-effective ways to stream content to your TV, but it isn’t the easiest tool with which to watch Twitch. While Roku once had an official Twitch channel, it no longer does, and the unofficial channel has also been removed.
If you want to watch Twitch on Roku, you’ll have to use unofficial methods. We’ve tested several of these to find the options that work best. Bear in mind, however, that until an official channel is re-released for Roku, there may be a lot of glitches.
How to Watch Twitch on Roku Through Twoku
The current best method for an on-device Twitch option is through the unofficial Twoku app. It is still in alpha, so there are a lot of features missing. For example, you can’t take part in the chat (or even see it, for that matter.) The search function is also limited.
The hope is that as Twoku evolves, more features will become available. Here’s how to set up Twoku on your Roku device.
- Go to https://my.roku.com/account/add.
- Type twoku into the search bar and select the checkbox for the captcha, then click Add Channel.
- Select Okay in the warning that appears.
- Select Yes, add channel in the next pop-up.
After you finish this step, you can find Twoku in your channel lineup. Select it to launch Twitch. You will be able to see current streams, search for specific channels or categories, and more. You can also log into your own Twitch account.
- Navigate to the Log In button on your Roku device.
- On your mobile device or a computer, go to two-web.herokuapp.com.
- Enter the four-character code you see on your screen.
- Read the permissions Twoku requires and select Authorize at the bottom of the screen.
After you do this, your Roku device will switch to the main Twitch page. However, you will be able to see the channels you follow on the sidebar and select any of them to watch. You can’t follow new channels from the Twoku channel, but it’s the best option for actually watching Twitch content without using your mobile device.
How to Watch Roku on Twitch with Screen Mirroring
If you don’t want to give a random, unofficial app your Twitch information, you have other options. Roku can mirror the screen on your iOS devices.
- Open the Twitch app on your mobile device and choose the channel you want to stream.
- Swipe down from the top-right of the screen to open the Command Center.
- Tap Screen Mirroring and then tap your Roku device.
- If this is your first time using Airplay or screen mirroring on your Roku, you will be asked to enter a four-digit code. This code appears on your TV screen.
This option shows the chat on your phone and allows you to talk with other viewers, while leaving the stream itself on your TV screen. You can also navigate away to other channels through your mobile app. There will be a pause, but the new channel will automatically appear on your TV and leave the chat on your phone.
How to Watch Twitch on Roku through a Web Browser
Roku allows you to set up and use web browsers through several different options. One of the easiest ways is to mirror your screen from a laptop (or cast from a Windows 10 PC through an app like Miracast.)
This is a better solution for users that don’t have the Twitch app on their mobile device (or that just don’t like the mobile app for Twitch, since it leaves a lot to be desired versus the desktop version.)
- Select the Command Center icon on your Mac desktop in the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Select Screen Mirroring.
- Select your Roku device from the list of devices that appear.
Whatever is on your Mac screen will appear on your TV. If this is your first time connecting your Mac to your Roku, you will be prompted to enter a code. Once you do, you can open Twitch in your browser and have full access to all of the services without the need for an intermediary application.
How to Watch Roku on Twitch Through Airplay
One potential method for watching Twitch on Roku is through Airplay. It’s similar to the screen mirroring process; in fact, it operates on essentially the same basic principles. However, if you don’t want to mirror your screen, you can activate Airplay just as easily.
- Open the Twitch app and select the channel you want to watch.
- Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open the Command Center.
- Tap the Airplay button in the top-right corner of the media controls.
- Tap your Roku from the list of compatible devices.
The content will appear on your TV, while the chat itself remains on your phone. Switching to a different stream will cause a brief pause in the display, but will then also show the content on the screen and leave the chat on your phone.
While the easiest solution would be for Roku to restore the official Twitch app, there doesn’t seem to be much hope of that happening soon. Most likely, it’s due to Amazon’s ownership of Twitch, as well as their ownership of a competing streaming device in the Fire TV.
Until that happens, though, these methods are some of the best ways to watch Twitch on your Roku device.
