Simply awesome
Convenient. Doesn’t always work. Even copy pasting the user’s name to the filter list doesn’t show their translations. I’ve only seen it in Robocco’s streams with 1 specific user (their name was “Boxi”-something) and in one Fubuki’s apex stream (name: Des P. / デスパン). Both usernames had japanese characters in their name which might be the cause, but manually putting them in filter list should have at least worked.
Edit: The problem is fixed, but now covers a wider area and shows normal messages from those users as well (for example, without the prefix [EN]). I’ll keep it at 4 stars since it still shows translations and makes youtube streams way more convenient and easy to watch.
Worth it alone for it reducing the memory load of the chat. I always wondered why my stream exploded when I wanted to drop some emojis in the chat. Problem fixed the free translations that appear are just extra value.
You like Hololive? You like this.
further down the hole we go
Best for good reasons.
Epic plus the new chat cpu saver is great and it works
Works great. Latest update to it seems to over-write YouTubes site icon on Bookmarks and Tabs.. which is kind of annoying. It shows a Blue square with BL in it. Disabling the addon makes it go away.
Edit: Fixed in 5.0.4
The hyperchat function is really cool and useful thanks
I love Vtubers <3
does what it aims to do. Certain spam/emote heavy streams such as Coco’s are always hard to catch translations from and this extension helps out a lot.
In addition, the viewing experience is a lot better thanks to the extension maximizing the amount of space that the video and chat box uses unlike youtube which leaves really large gaps and terrible layout.
Thank you devs for the helpful extension!
Very useful to capture the English Translations for the JP VTubers when Chat gets flooded.
Nice
very nice me happy

but somehow it auto adds “[en]” at the front whenever I comment. Its kinda annoying
😀

Absolutely perfect!! Thank you to everyone working on this!!

Not popular enough
Excellent extension. Issue going on with it for me in particular. When I use LiveTL I am getting the following message
” Chat disconnected. Please wait while we try to reconnect you.
Unable to connect to chat. Please try again later. ”
I also use ytcFilter, LiveJimaku and Chat Selector for YouTube Live. I isolated the issue to ytcFilter and LiveTL being incompatible when using one or the other. Not sure what is causing the interference but it just started happening today as of 1/20/2020 8:am or so EST.
I also left a review with basically the same information on ytcFilter. I do not want to choose between one or the other if anyone has time to take a look. Thanks for your time. Thank you for the extension.
This app is SO USEFUL. I cannot state enough how impressed I am by a simple concept put into action. My great appreciation goes out to the creators of this plugin, and the translators who choose to actively help out in translating livestreams for others’ entertainment — I cannot thank you enough! I’m glad I’m now able to be a part of something I love, regardless of the language barrier. I really would highly recommend this plugin to anyone who watches livestreams/VODs of streamers who do not speak their native language. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!! 🙂
love this app
now I can “kusa” with the jp bros
Amazing
