Ads on version 2.9.0

[yesmar12]

Description

Version: 2.9.0

When I start a stream I get ads every time. I have tested this in version 2.519 and do not receive ads. Both versions are the fdroid version. In both cases I am not logged into an account. Please let me know with any details that I am missing from this bug report.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open twire version 2.90 fdroid
2. Skip the loggin sequence
3. Close the change log
4. Open any of the streams on the top streams page
5. Watch ad

Yep Ad's now showing on twire - seems like a lot of programs have been affected.

"Upstream" info: Twitch is injecting stream directly into the HLS stream, so filtering out the ads is very difficult

Is this app being updated, or the issue looked into? If not what are people using on android?

@sh0wst0pper Twire is still being updated but I've been busy recently so I haven't had time to look into what methods are actually working to block ads. It seems like Twitch has been fixing a lot of the methods to block ads recently but I'll see if I can find something that works. If you know of a method that works, please let me know.

@samfundev no problem at all - i was just wondering as i haven't seen any replies. I certainly cant help either!! I know alternate player for twitch browser addon works, not sure if that helps though!
