Thanks for this. Here's a direct link:
http://livetube.cc/tag.STG. Streams with a blank timestamp column are live. Right now there is one STG stream, of Strikers 1945. It's the first in the list.
I'm an avid twitch.tv viewer, and what reminded me of this thread (and site) was finally finding someone streaming shmups on there. He's doing 15 days in a row starting at 9pm PST. Day 1 was Gradius III.

I'd like to maintain a list of active links to shmup streamers in the OP. Just provide the minimal direct link to the user/stream. Please let me know if a link is no longer active.
Streams that are known to occasionally play shmups are fine. I checked all the previous ones in this thread and didn't find any active ones.
