Well, say, I would like the program to also notify me whenever my favourite [insert x game here] streamer comes online, even though that stream is not featured on TL.net. I guess what I'm looking for is an online/offline check for certain streams. | ||

Thanks for the work you put into this. Will consider the embedding of chat as well as a previous user suggested. But I have to do some research first. Thanks for feedback ! | ||

I know it's part of JTV, so I assume the back-end stuff works the same for both. I ask this mainly because some streamers have switched to using Twitch and I'd love to see them in this player. Keep up the awesome work! Both twitch and justin works the same, in fact the query for channels reports them both as justin type. For the player is no difference - in fact I see normally both in player. Thanks for feedback! | ||

Does the program use IE components? | ||

Yes, the player uses an embedded IE browser for displaying content (both search results and player), and also uses WinInet for performing HTTP. About an old IE: yes, it could be a problem. If is IE6 for sure, since it cannot process internally gzip responses decoding into XML. It's a known bug (InternetSetOption with INTERNET_OPTION_HTTP_DECODING gives ERROR_INTERNET_INVALID_OPTION although they say it is supported - and the gzip HTTP response is not properly decoded). An alternative would be to not let WinInet to do the decoding and perform the decoding myself using zlib or so, but is too much work for an old browser and I'll probably won't implement it. | ||

Events/notification system is in progress. Will incorporate support when a new stream appear online and a list of bookmarked/favorite streams, so when a new stream appears online *and* is in favorite list, will notify user (sound, popup etc.) This will take a while (I am out of town now) but will do it. Many thanks for suggestions! ur brilliant. many thx | ||

[sic] - I am not a native speaker as you probably realized  can you tell me how is correct?)Usually this means a network related error, but can also be a simple bug in search. Can you tell me more about what search have you done, OS version, IE version ? this can help me tracking the error. On the other hand, I will add error logging (useful for reporting back) and a crash handler as well. Thanks for feedback. "Did not complete" or "was not completed" are both fine. I'm on WinXP SP2, and I have no idea what IE version I have. Also, now I know this program uses IE, I'm afraid I am discontinuing use. Shame, it looked very promising. Thank you for your effort. | ||

For example: the TL sidebar looks like this Teamspeak Tourney [SC2] Link # 1 [SC2] Link # 2 [SC2] Link # 3 But your player only looks like this [SC2] Link # 1 [SC2] Link # 2 [SC2] Link # 3 | ||

To check IE version, simply open IE, click Help and then click About. It will display the complete IE version. 2. Why don't use just because of IE? You have technical reasons, or just hate the guts of IE BTW, would you prefer to install a version using Chrome to render HTML at the expense of a considerably larger installer? (17 MB at least for Chrome runtime - and not a stable one) | ||

Will do so in the next version. | ||

I'm not sure I understand why we'd need to install extra stuff if we already have it. However, IE has been proven, version after version, to be pretty damn godawful, and with today's internet speeds, ~17MiB is not a killing blow; especially seeing the nature of the program. | ||

You don't already have Chrome, if that's what you mean. You have to install it. And anyways the version of Chrome you have depends on Gecko version, which is changed from version to version and not very reliable in terms of embedding and runtime - but I digress. The use of IE was simple - at least for now, it *is* already installed on Windows machines and I don't have to bring yet some other browser runtime just to be non-IE. Perhaps the best bet would be to offer three versions, one for IE, one for Chrome, one for FF regarding browser embedding (and maybe one having them all to let use pick). I will consider this. Thanks for feedback ! | ||
