Bug Report
- [x ] This is a bug report and I have read the contribution guidelines.
Description
streamlink 1.0.0 on windows 10 64bit (latest updates) has a chance of playing pre-roll ads before loading the twitch stream. sometimes it will partially play the end of an ad (i.e. 1 or 2 seconds), sometimes the entire ad. sometimes the ad is low resolution (480/720), sometimes 1080p. sometimes you get expected behavior (no ads).
Expected / Actual behavior
expected: play the stream straight away
actual: sporadic pre-rolls play, then the stream.
Reproduction steps / Explicit stream URLs to test
- use streamlink 1.0.0
- execute streamlink using cmd line "streamlink twitch.tv/sodapoppin best"
- other twitch streams can exhibit the same issue, but not always

i'll stress that this is sporadic - sometimes i'll get an ad no matter how many times i load the stream. sometimes i won't get an ad at all. this first started happening for me on march 14th.
bonus: alternate player for twitch.tv plugin (chrome/firefox) has the same issue.
