Free TeeBoard v0.1.5 beta

[DeezjaVu]

You could still make emotes optional and leave that to the opinion of the streamer :)

That means I'd have to put in all the work first :)

The way it is now, I'm able to parse IRC messages super fast as I skip everything that isn't a message, I don't parse users nor their status. That means the widgets are super responsive and super lightweight, just the way I like it :)

If you're developing a pure IRC client, you can spend time on parsing everything. TeeBoard however does and is a lot more than just that.

I've seen IRC clients break when joining a room with 100k people in it for instance.
I tested TeeBoard connected to a chat room (beyondthesummit) with 30k people and then ran 16 copies of the chat widget simultaneously. CPU usage was between 1 and 3% and I was able to change fonts and colors on the fly. Now 30k is still ways from 100k, but still, I think that's quite impressive.

Enjoying this tool, thanks for all your hard work - it really shows.

Having an issue with Follower notifications, I can't tell if it's working and the Notification Widget displays "Unable to connect to Teeboard: Error #2047". I'm not sure what I need to provide for more information, just let me know and I'll get it posted here. Thanks again for this.

Error #2047 indicates a Security Sandbox Violation, which means you haven't added the widgets folder to the Flash Player trusted locations.
In TeeBoard, hit F1, select "notifications" or "widgets" and follow the instructions.

Love all the latest changes! Great program.

Is there a file somewhere that stores the banned followers? I would like to import my list of banned people into it. Versus waiting for them to show up again and wait for them to follow.

Be nice if Twitch didn't let banned people follow. Not sure why they allow that.

Glad to hear !

Names are stored (as are most TeeBoard settings) in a so called Flash cookie (SharedObject). Unfortunately this file is not in a simple, readable format (for security reasons), so the only way to edit it is through TeeBoard.
I wouldn't mind adding an "import" button to the popup window when you select "edit". Just would need to decide on a formatting for the imported list of names, something like:

name1,name2,name3​

or

name1
name2
name3​

If you have a preference, let me know.

It's Twitch, what do you expect :)

Import from and Export to text and csv files will be in the next update.

My earlier issue with OBS recognizing Grooveshark's audio (with the help of this program) has been fixed! But no I'm having issues trying to get my chat feed to work within OBS. Might you have a detailed guide / video showing the setup procedure?

Probably best to see if the chat can connect with TeeBoard first.
In TeeBoard, click "widgets -> Chat". Click the "eye" icon at the top right, which will open the chat in a new window. Wait for a message saying "connected to TeeBoard".
In TeeBoard, click the "chat" toggle switch at the bottom left, which will make a connection to the Twitch chat server. In the chat window it should then display a message saying you've joined your channel's chat room. You can now either type something in your chat (via IRC or browser) or, in TeeBoard at the bottom, click the "test" button. This will send 20 messages to the chat widget. Note, these messages are not sent to the Twitch server, they are sent to the chat widget directly.

If that works, you're good to go. Click the folder icon in the top right, which will open the chat widget folder. The html file in this folder is what you need to add to OBS.
In OBS, add a CLR Browser source and point it to the html file in the above folder. Set the dimensions (width / height) as desired. Note that you should not scale the source in OBS as this will make the text look bad. Change the size by changing the width and height in the source properties.

Let me know if the above doesn't work, especially if you get a security violation error.

A video is in the making.. if only there were more than 24 hours in a day :)

In OBS, add a CLR Browser source and point it to the html file in the above folder.

Unfortunately, 'Browser' is not listed in any of my available source options in OBS (I know this isn't a TeeBoard issue it's more so my own). I've downloaded the 64bit version (CLR Browser Source Plugin) and extracted the file + folder to the OBS plugins folder. Upon restarting OBS, I still don't see 'Browser' when I attempt to add a source capture...

I don't recommend using the 64bit CLR Browser version, it's unfortunately pretty unstable, especially on win 8. I'm not sure why it doesn't show up in OBS though. In case you have Skype, contact me here: https://sites.google.com/site/deezja/contact and I'll then send you my Skype ID.

First of all thanks you for great program, superb work!

I've been thinking about doing a separate color for the channel owner (you, the streamer) and may still add that, however, streamers are usually not the ones chatting :)
Mods / user colors is not very likely to be added, simply because I don't bother parsing them at all. That is, TeeBoard does not have a user/mod list, nor does it retrieve user colors from IRC. Basically I'm ignoring everything that is not a user message.

If you will be implementing that, can you add capitalization of streamer name?
Twitch support it in channel name but unfortunately in chat itself, but this could be easily done in TeeBoard (I think?).

Hi DeezjaVu,

I'd been using your tool, and found it to be awesome, but yesterday I updated both Adobe AIR and Teeboard to its latest versions, and now for some reason the program just won't launch. I've tried regular clicking, and running as administrator. Uninstalling and re-installing Teeboard, but it just does nothing.

It's there in the Processes window, but nowhere to be seen anywhere else.

Do you have any idea what's going on?

Thanks

Im having this same issue. Any help would be great, thanks.

Im having this same issue. Any help would be great, thanks.

Embarrassingly enough, the reason why I was having this issue was because I had placed the CLR Browser Source Plugin files in the wrong folder. Check under 'Program Files' ('Program Files (x86)' if you're running a 64bit system) for OBS.

I recommend right-clicking on the OBS application and looking at it's properties. Specifically the "Start in" field (to find out where you need to place the plugin files).

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the Reply Machine! Some how I fixed it.

Check if this folder exists: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\TeeBoard\widgets\chat
If it doesn't, manually copy it from the TeeBoard install directory.

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Yo! Back again (by the way, thanks for the reply, haven't been here let alone streaming since then) now I got this question for you, why the drop shadow on the text in the chat widget? I'm not very familiar with flash otherwise I'd disable it myself, can that be an option? I want my chat to fit the color scheme of my channel and the purples I use don't sit will with the outline/dropshadow that you have around the text (I also have the chat font downsized and it makes it hard to read as well).

 

[DeezjaVu]

why the drop shadow on the text in the chat widget?

Because in most cases it makes the text more readable and/or stand out from whatever is behind it, especially if you disable the background (alpha = 0) and the chat is on top of a constant moving background (like gameplay).

I'll look into adding an option to toggle it on/off though. (Edit: it's already implemented and will be in the next update)

Without the source file(s) you can't. An swf is a compiled end result.

I want my chat to fit the color scheme of my channel and the purples I use don't sit will with the outline/dropshadow that you have around the text (I also have the chat font downsized and it makes it hard to read as well).

Be careful with small font sizes, it still needs to be readable by the viewer (no point in having it on stream otherwise). Do you maybe have a (fullscreen) screenshot of what it looks like?

I can understand, I'll be looking forward to possibly seeing a toggle.

I use the chat for myself since my viewers are already on my channel talking, it's an easy way to have my browser closed without missing what people say.

It appears to exist, yeah. It's populated too. But still no luck with the program itself. Any other thoughts?
