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.

Really nice, but i totally agree with this one! An "always on top" button would be super nice. I love to play a funmap or dota or something similar while watching streams... and dont have two monitors. Also, some form of iRC/Chat functionality would make this ever more badass.

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 !

Excellent work, looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out.

Out of curiosity, is Twitch.tv supported? 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!

I'll try to research this. It is not a trivial feature - while is for sure doable, it's not a one-day either.

Why could an old Internet Explorer possibly be a problem?
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.

can you add a feature to auto-refresh?, and also to be able to see on air AND featured?, if so I would leave this open on my second monitor 24/7

Also would be nice (but less of a priority i think), for the program to audibly notify me when some of my favorite streamers show up in the list (huk signs on, it dings or plays a sound)

amazing program so far.

1. Autorefresh - will do. I am planning custom searches anyways (where you can group, for example, ON AIR, non featured *and* a search for string).
2. 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

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.

Downloaded the installer, its running beautifully! That'd be cool if you could incorporate the event names as well as the stream names.

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

I Can download, install and run the program just fine. However, once the program is opened, I can't seem to load a single stream. All I see is a red X where the video should be. Any idea why? My flash is up to date.

1. 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)

So results grouped by event name, if any. Will do so in the next version.

Third highest used web browser around these days. 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 !
