Free TeeBoard v0.1.5 beta

[DeezjaVu]

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.

In that case you're much better off using an IRC client. That way, if needed, you can write to chat, mod, etc.. which you can't do with the widget.

I don't use the browser at all, not for watching other people's streams nor for streaming.

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

Did you by any chance add a new user (authorize) or removed an existing one? If so, there's a (embarrassing) bug. Something I overlooked. There's an update coming up tomorrow, so it should then be fixed.

DeezjaVu updated TeeBoard with a new update entry:

Update v0.1.1 beta

TeeBoard has been updated to v0.1.0

Check the patch notes for more info.

Patch notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bb9otl3kEeyCtQQ4d732J3C4cv4d5IofbtdAVakMWKE/pub

If you already have TeeBoard installed, you will be notified of the update the next time you start the app.

In case TeeBoard doesn't automatically (re)start after the update, check the Task Manager and kill the process, then restart TeeBoard.

Read the rest of this update entry...

Update process is broken for two reasons:

1. After update I could not start application, had to kill TeeBoard process (not visible on task bar) and then I could start new one. Not sure if installed correctly but saw release notes upon start so i guess yes.

2. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Update wipes out files in Documents.
I spend a lot of time to make custom notification scripts and all got wiped out, not even in trash! My bad to not copying them but why would I be worried about losing them in Documents folder, right? Wrong!

I would LOVE if maybe you added an IRC client to this tool for the chat. unfortunately I only have so much window space and using all of these tools, it get's impossible to see everything.

It is not broken.

Sorry about that :(

Every time there is an update to one of the widgets, the complete widgets folder is copied from the install directory to the user documents directory and overwrites existing files. I was a bit surprised to see as well that when the folder already exists it doesn't just overwrite existing files, but wipes everything first and then puts a new copy in place. This is different from the standard Windows copy/paste behaviour, but it's kind of out of my hands.

I will look into making a backup of the widgets folder (renaming it if it exists) during an update, which will avoid wiping customized files.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well the goal of TeeBoard is that one shouldn't need "all of these tools" :)

As for an IRC client, that's not gonna happen. There's already plenty of good IRC clients out there, so I'd just be reinventing the wheel.
I personally use XChat 2 for Windows and HexChat is another popular one.

If you have Flash (and some actionscript) skills, you could create your own swf. I can provide you a "hook" to communicate with the main application (TeeBoard). All you need to know really is how to establish a LocalConnection.

I hope this offer still stands, since I would be extremely interested in a "hook" that I could use to communicate with TeeBoard from my own SWF files. I'm an artist and an animator, and not a programmer. I can hack together some semi-usable code from time to time, but if I somehow could hook into TeeBoard and let my SWF files know of new followers, subscribers, etc, I would be one very, very happy camper.

Sure, contact me here: https://sites.google.com/site/deezja/contact and I'll get back to you.

I am about to review / rework the notifications (and probably all widgets) to use a different mechanism than the one currently in place. Instead of a LocalConnection I'll probably switch to a Socket.

Sockets are more complicated especially compared to LocalConnection, but I feel I have no other choice at the moment because of XSplit being broken. The Chat Widget already uses a Socket and was kind of a test and it seems to work fine. At least no one has reported any issues so far.

Given time, I'll see if I can come up with a template type of fla that people can work with that already contains the necessary "hook" for use with TeeBoard.

Hey Deezja! I'm loving Teeboard but I'm running into an error with the Spectrum widget. Whenever I try to use it I, either in stream or in ina preview, error #2082comes up as shown here. I'm probably doing something wrong on my end and if you could help me troubleshoot I'd appreciate it.

ArgumentError: Error #2082: Connect failed because the object is already connected.

That basically means that you have 2 copies of the same widget running, which isn't allowed. As mentioned in the post just above yours I'm looking into switching to a new connection mechanic for all widgets. This will allow you to run multiple copies, but keep in mind that all copies will respond/use the same settings.

Back to your issue :)
When trying out things in TeeBoard, use the preview (preview icon top right) and make sure OBS is not running. Once you're happy with everything close the TeeBoard preview and run it in OBS.

tl;dr don't run both previews (TeeBoard+OBS) at the same time.

I love this program but I'm having one issue which I can't seem to fix myself. I followed the instructions for setting up the chat widget with the html file but OBS seems to crash whenever I try to load the widget with CLR. Could this be a CLR issue? I use 64-bit which apparently isn't as stable as the 32-bit version...

I just get the generic "Whoops! OBS has crashed" message.

Thanks for your frequent work on this. I just started streaming and I love having TeeBoard!

Only thing I can suggest for now is to try the 32bit version.

Hey man, I'm loving Teeboard so far, amazing work! I do have one question though, in the notifications section, for the direction part, no matter what I change it to it still shows up as coming from left to right in OBS, is there a way to fix this? Also, any plans to add a fade-in effect in the direction options?

That seems strange, as that information (data) is sent straight from TeeBoard to the widget. Make sure to only run one copy of the widget at all times.

Something that seems to be really over looked as small as it is would be the Text outputs, which currently do not add a space at the end of the output. Which in return means when you enable a scroll in the text output on OBS the first and last words are mashed together.

Each text file has 10 spaces padded at the back, except for the ones only containing 1 name (like last follower, top donator).

The way subscribers are shown seems to be bugged, or is it how it's supposed to be?

As of now it shows the first subscribers ever, and not the latest ones.

Thanks!

I'll have a look at the code. It's very hard to debug/test as I don't have access to a partnered account. Maybe something changed in the Twitch API and there's a parameter missing. I'll let you know if I find anything.

EDIT:
Can you try the following url in your browser (make sure you're logged into twitch) and replace "CHANNEL" with your channel name:

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/CHANNEL/subscriptions?limit=10&offset=0&direction=desc

This will return json formatted data. Check to see if the sub names in there are ordered correctly and let me know.
The API seems to default to "direction=asc" (ascending), which is backwards IMO, but hey.. it's Twitch :)

Also let me know if you get the following when trying that url:
{"error":"Unauthorized","status":401,"message":"Token invalid or missing required scope"}

EDIT #2:
And here is where Twitch messed up by not being consistent. The followers "direction" defaults to "desc" while the subscribers "direction" defaults to "asc". Lesson learnt: don't trust Twitch being consistent :)

Is it possible to use a animated GIF or other image files to pop up when a new person follows or donates? Kind of like twitchalerts.com? I really love this and its neat to see peoples reactions when they see this show up, would it be possible to get this on teeboard? Or is it possible for me to add it myself?
