Just noticed that favorite streams feature is broken, the fix is done and ready. We will wait a day or two too see if any other bugs pop up though.
Keep reporting bugs and give us feedback!

JulianSidewind - Yes Julian , somehow I messed it up. It saves the favorites but next time you run ScC , it doesn't reads / respects favorites. Fixed it but since it's not a breaking bug , holding it for a while in case any other bugs come up.

Can someone tell me where the registry for this app is located, because i need to remove it (read: uninstall the program) just so i can update to a newer version.

Hey everyone , apologies for late response , I've been quite distracted / busy for a while now.

I released a small new version , fixing favoriting streams bug.Nothing big but should help to organize streams window a bit.
http://sccalendar.codeplex.com/

JulianSidewind - Hey Julian! Added it as soon as I saw your post yesterday , enjoy!

SpearThruster - Normally you shouldn't need it , as ScC will automatically replace old key. You can just uninstall the current version you have and run new version's setup. In case there is a special case with your system ; it's located in "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run" by the name of "StarcraftCalendar"

On the other news , I've done a spring cleaning today , remove a lot of streams which haven't been active for a long while. I'll add them again if they become active but almost everyone switching to Justin these days and our list was full of old and now useless livestream / ustream stuff. Stream updates should be 2x faster and more stable now!

Also I'm working on ScC2 more than ScC these days. ScC wasn't built to be a big application like this , so the code infrastructure was not ideal for this kinda application. I'm writing everything from scratch and it'll take a damn long time but hopefully if everything works out , it'll be incredibly stronger than ScC.

There are 2 things I want to ask you guys about ScC2 tho ;

1) I'm planing to use Microsoft's new Metro UI for ScC2.
Why?
I love minimalistic UI , it's clean , everything is clear , easier to use , a lot faster also I've never done anything in Metro UI and trying / learning new things is a big encouragement for me

Another reason is I don't want to use Blizzard art anymore , as it may become problematic in future ( copyright etc.) , trying to play safe.

What does it look like?
[image loading]

Obviously this is just an wip screen ( work in progress ) but shows the general design pretty good I guess. It's also pretty versatile , you can resize left and right columns to 0px if you like , and there will be lots of animations when it's all done ( animations are an important part of Metro UI ) , so I guess one screen shot isn't enough to tell the story.

So?
Please let me know if you like this Metro UI idea. It's important for me to know these kinda things at this early stages of development where it's easy ( easier ) to change / redo big things like this so I would really love to hear any UI ideas and comments from you guys.

2) What'll be the name of the application?
ScCalendar is probably the worst name one can come up with for such an application. Sounds bad , looks bad , just pure bad. ScC is far from a calendar application at this moment and ScC2 will be even bigger ( supporting other games as well etc. ) , so we surely need a better name.

Like what?
I really have no idea , I'm not even sure if it should be something sounding fun or professional so there are no limitations. Oh maybe only thing , it shouldn't be something limited to Starcraft. More like a name for all-around e-sports community tool... Hmm yea it's hard and I'm seriously bad when it comes to naming stuff , so any suggestions are extremely welcome!

Let me know what do you think about ScC2 , you can also find me on TL Irc Channel ( as [ScC]Tiax or Letranger ) or use our feedback system built in. Thanks in advance , now gotta go back to work...

Personally, I prefer the starcraft-related windows. The main reason I don't like the Metro is the colour scheme. Looks too colourful and unrelated. Maybe make the colours similar to B.net. I love the current UI and how it got progressively better. Maybe add the Metro to the skin list, but not make it mandatory?

JulianSidewind - I'll definitely add a Starcraft skin , actually it'll probably be pretty easy to skin that chancing it to exact same ScC look shouldn't be hard. I haven't done skin support yet tho , I'll see how it goes but I definitely have plans for that. But you're also right about , color scheme. Maybe the design would look much better & relevant with BNet color scheme , gotta try that! Thanks man!

Tiax;mous, thats not the only registry because i am still having a problem updating to the current version of ScC. Whenever i start the Setup.msi i get "There is previous version of this application already installed, please remove it through Add/Remove" (Note: That i DID remove the registry you pointed me at, and also there is nothing connected to ScC in Add/Remove Program).

Please save me fast, from the awful experience which is - watching streams through a browser.

SpearThruster - Oh for some reason I thought you were asking for the key's ScC manually put there. Well I'm not really good at Window issues but as far as I remember , registery keys for that is stored in ;

64bit systems
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
32bit systems
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

you'll see lots of GUID's there , check for "Display Name" attribute on the panel right side.

Also you can find any ScCalendar key by searching for the name "ScCalendar" , it'll also lead you to folders above I guess.

Please let me know if it does work or not.

PS: And I definitely agree , browsers sucks for watching anything longer than 10 minutes

Tiax;mous, after deleting of what seemed to be around ~30 registries and ~2-3 folders containing bunch of ScC related registries, i am sad to report that the installation still can't go through. I found and deleted all registries that were associated with the name "ScCalendar". Did anyone else have the problem, when updating to the latest version of ScCalendar? :L

P.S. I am Usurper btw, your favorite tester.

SpearThruster - Oh man , where have you been? Ok you're having a weird problem , which shouldn't happen with standard ScC uninstall & install. I would like to hear if anyone else had this problem but it sounds like a system specific problem , can you find me on TL Irc , lets talk about this in detail? ( no need to go deep tech in Sc2 General topic I guess

)

On the other news , ScC2 is coming along pretty nicely , I'll post a progress report with a few screens soon!

Okay guys, so we fixed this, by simply copying the whole installation folder over again. And no, Linux packages, have nothing on us.

Is this "New Update" notification a false positive, or is it just not uploaded yet?

JulianSidewind - Released 1.4.3b last week to fix that favorite stream bug , guess you haven't get that yet?

On the other news ; development of ScC2 is going pretty slow these days , I should just stop wasting time on neat tricks , eyecandy etc and concentrate on main features ><

With the Stream player able to be launched as a standalone app, can we open up a specific stream not on the list? Every now and again something new will pop up (atm, the IM vs. World Team Matches) on a new stream, and it would be handy to be able to temporarily view streams that aren't on the list. I'm addicted to being able to easily view streams in a nice handy window that stays on top of everything

Gamgee - Hey Gamgee! I'm still not conviced that such a feature can be implemented without too much bug and would work smoothly but lots of people are asking for that so I guess I'll have to implement that in future. But in far future unfortunately , at the moment I'm already pretty busy with ScC2

And another bug fix version ScCalendar 1.4.4b is released!

A few days ago , one of ScC users reported that Calendar event descriptions are broken ( "You broke ScC" message in event descriptions ). I investigated the issue and turns out Calendar editors started using a new hyperlink syntax , which crashed our current parser. Since it effected more than %75 of events in calendar , I had to release a fix.

I know most of you guys really don't like downloading a new version every week but well I can't really leave it broken , can I ?

Hey Tiax,
http://www.justin.tv/hotspursc/
still isn't on the list.

I'm trying to not sound like a dick but I can't think of a way, so I'll leave it at that

Thanks :D

JulianSidewind - Hey man! First thing came to my mind that I added it and then deleted by mistake while cleaning up old & unused streams ( as I'm pretty pretty sure I added it the day you asked for it ) but just checked our database and see it is still there.
It was , for some reason , looked offline tho , although it is online ; probably got stuck for some xml problem ( justin.tv's xml is a little problematic , not answering every xml request etc ). It should be online at the moment , I'll recheck again later to see if it'll get stuck again. Apologies for the inconvenience

Tiax;mous, Hi! I bring tidings of a new bug! (it's what i always do, did you expect something different duh?). So in this new version i can not start any stream. All i see is a black screen. Theorybug with me? :d

EDIT: Blegh, found the fix on the first page. Everything is fine and dandy now. Oh just that i still don't have any UNINSTALL option even on my brand new Windows 7 copy. :|
