About Flashback
Flashback adds instant replay capabilities to live streams directly in the browser.
While you watch a live stream, Flashback continuously records a short rolling buffer of the video in the background. When triggered, it instantly replays the last seconds without leaving the page.
Key features:
• Instant replay for live streams
• Lightweight overlay player
• Runs entirely inside the browser
• No backend or external services required
Flashback is built using modern browser media technologies such as MediaRecorder and MediaSource Extensions, implementing a DVR-style replay system directly on the client side.
Patch Version 1.1.0:
- Fixed DVR reset when switching Twitch channels
- Replay now closes cleanly when the source video changes or is lost
- Improved DVR session reset behavior to prevent stale chunks from leaking into new sessions
- Improved replay cleanup stability.
