ScC 1.4.2b is Released!
Troubleshooting tips: IMPORTANT
+ Show Spoiler + BNet Style ScC Player not working issue + Show Spoiler +On February 14 2011 03:06 Gamgee wrote:Ah ha! I've now got the new player working. It looks like the issue was simply that I didn't have Flash installed, per se - I use Chrome as my main browser, with IE as backup. Since Chrome comes with its own flash player, and IE uses the ActiveX plugin, I'd never had any need to install the standalone Flash plugin that other applications would use (and Adobe likes to be helpful and not let you install it again easily). It's possible that other Chrome users would have this issue as well; if so, here's the easiest way I found to install it: 1) Open a new tab in Chrome. Type in Code: about:plugins into the address bar, hit enter, find Flash Player. If you click the + Details button in the upper right of the page, and Flash Player only lists "gcswf32.dll" as the plugin file, then you don't have the Flash plugin installed. 2) From that Plugins page, disable Flash, and then navigate to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer; if the native flash player is still enabled, it will just say "Chrome comes with Flash, so use that k?", but with it disabled it will let you download and install the latest version. 3) Go through the flash install process there - once done, check the plugins screen, and you should notice that Flash now says (2 files) next to it, and has two listings when you click the + Details button. You can now disable the listing for "\NPSWF32.dll", and re-enable the listing for "gcswf32.dll", to use the built-in flash player for Chrome again.
Changelog
+ Show Spoiler +
- Reworked how stream listing works. Can now handle more streams and is very stable. (active)
- Reworked how adding a stream to our list works. This does not affect the user. (active)
- Fixed a problem with justin.tv streams showing up as offline in old player (active)
- Fixed a problem with the own3d overlay (Informing you that own3d doesn’t support auto play yet) showing up when you tried to switch FROM a own3d stream (should be when switching to).
- Improved the look of new player settings, you can now see the stream you’re tweaking :D
- Reworked how stream notifications work. New setting: Display all stream notification / Only favorites.
- Added more information to streams. Language, league (including bw), featured (TL), race (and caster). Default is Caster (microphone icon).
**** This will progressively get more accurate! If someone is filed as a caster/terran/other but isn’t please send us the correct information though feedback or the Teamliquid topic! This information is put in manually so everyone does not have their correct information yet! ****
- Lock ratio option (for easier resizing) added
- The name bar now doesn't show when in flash mode. This enables the user to have access to justin.tv resolution controls. Added a notification about how you can toggle the flash back off with T.
- Reworked the look of new player overlays.
- Removed borders from all windows
- Updated the styles for ALL windows to remove most of the battle.net 0.2 ripoffs.
- Experiment: Removed old style windows (to see if anyone will notice, also they’re ugly)
- Added a retry option if the server fails to get stream information on startup.
Changelogs are boring tho right? So ;
WHAT'S NEW?
- First of all , we now got RACE and LANGUAGE information for streams.
- We also got a MUCH MUCH better stream notification system , so I really doubt you'll miss any streams with ScC anymore.
- We also changed the main style a bit , windows are less bulky now and looks much better ( at least to me )
- We removed all old styles which increased performance and stuff. So yea it works&feels faster now!
- Oh another big thing , ScC Stream Player is now a STAND ALONE APP! I tweaked it to work as a stand alone application and ScC setup will create a shortcut on desktop so whenever you want to watch streams , you can directly jump in player just with a double click !
- Lots of other UI improvements , ie ;
- ScCPlayer top bar is not blocking Justin quality settings anymore
- ScCPlayer Settings layer is smaller so you can see the stream while tweaking Contrast & Brightness

oh damn 
can you be more specific about the problem , isn't there an error message etc.?
does it crash instantly , or after loading bar appears?
Also installer should have checked it beforehand but you got .Net 3.5 right ?

Could you make an option to choose what screen the notifications pop up on? For multi-monitor setups it'd be awesome to move it to my off-screen.
It's awesome anyways though, good job!

This is actually very impressive. Really like and love the idea. Gonna download now and have a play. Are you planning on releasing the source code at any point?
#And I just actually read the rest of the post, cheers :D

Whenever I try to watch a stream it does this:
Other than that, fantastic work man!

I just solved the XP problem! It's such an unbelievably problem that I'm still in awe. Here is the story if anyone cares ;
It turns out there is a difference between Vista icon's and XP icon's and for some reason a WPF application using an icon with .png in it ( aka Vista icon ) crashes the application instantly without any warning/error etc. So yes , my whole application suddenly become unavailable on Xp systems because of a 64x64 png image burried in an ico file -_-
I'm uploading XP compatible version in a minute.
Tytanium - I also checked dual monitor stuff and I'm pretty sure i can implement that without too much trouble but the problem is ; i have one monitor so there is no way i can test the code if it's working or not  I'll try to arrange somethings in a few days tho.
|
Tone - Thanks man , i hope you'll like it
ZoidbergMD - Hmm it looks like something about ie is wrong. Actually Stream Player window , hosts an ie browser ( which is why it uses more ram than any other thing in application ) ; and to watch streams in Stream Player , you must have IE Flash Player installed. Can you please check adn tell me if it's installed ? IE Flash Player is different than FireFox or Opera flash player tho , so you may not have it if you're using one of them.
ScC 1.2.1b is now XP compatible ( or at least it should be ). I tested it on a virtual machine but still it would be awesome if someone else can check&report
|
Yup, that worked. I had flash installed only on Firefox and not IE. Thank you for the help, and keep up the amazing work, this is one of the best apps I have ever seen in my life. Fantastic work!

Wow, wait- what? This is sick man, thanks!
Works fine, and runs fine on my laptop- which isn't that great.
|
I checked that in early stages of ScC development and decided TLPD support isn't really useful as I'm linking any player/map name to TLPD directly anyway. ( so i don't need details about player/map )
But somehow i just saw UserStreams Support NOW and died a little inside.
Thanks to my awesome reading comprehension , I created a web service with threading and other sorts of magic to gather data off 300 streams xml in 50 seconds and actually was pretty proud of that part of my code ( not included in ScC Source Code , that's another web application project ).
I'll contact zatic asap to learn about details like formatting etc.
Thanks RaGe
emperorchampion - Oh glad to hear that. My words about performance was probably exaggerated as I'm kinda obsessed with performance related stuff. ( probably because I'm rather bad at writing high performance code ). Nice to hear it's running smoothly on your machine

thank you sir for being in my life.
this program is amazingggggggg

Very nifty, nice work

Hey, I had this exact same problem and with many other things using Internet Explorer, it had something to do with the ActiveX plugin with it and I just used to deal with it for months, finally did some looking around and found a way to fix it.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html
Go there and follow those steps, fixed it for me so good luck. 
Edit: Also, it's working on xp.
|
This is great. It seems like I'm always forgetting about events on my own  <3
Works fine here on w7 x64

O_O. Wow. THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

StarcraftCalendar has stopped working
A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is availiable
Yup it was the .Net framework - The installer didn't check the first time for some reason, but 2nd time was the charm.
|
This is amazing. Might get more coverage if you posted it in a different section.
|
This is really neat, is there any way to modify the streaming window so that we dont have to watch advertisements? Firefox with adblock is able to do this for livestream and ustream.
|
Brilliant mate, very, very impressed. Only suggestion is if there is a way to work an Adblock option into the stream part, that'd be great. I'm not sure if that's even possible to do though, but it'd mean a lack of stream ads clogging the window.
Keep up the good work mate :D
|
^Sisko beat me to it. Apologies for the double suggestion.
|
Shrinky Dink , Opti.SRB , MrBroly ,GeForceFX , SuperXlax - Glad you guys like it!
gogogadgetflow - Thanks for the XP confirmation , your first first gave me a heart attack tho
Lumb - Well i thought General Forum would be the best place to post about it , would sc2 general have been better? Hmmm this is important for me because higher user/download numbers mean everything to me at this moment. It's an open source , free , community tool after all ; the one and only thing an unprofessional programmer can get out of it is the satisfaction of high user/download numbers. ( I probably should post this on battle.net forum too , in a few days. )
Sisko , Throllax - Actually yes , there is a way to block adds , it's not an elegant solution but still ; If you're using Firefox/Opera/Chrome etc as main browser and not using IE for anything important, you can simply disable Javascripts in your IE and you won't get any adds in ScC Stream Player anymore as they are Javascript based adds. Again obviously this is not an elegant solution and i'll be looking for a better one in future but till then ; it may be useful considering the unpopularity of IE these days.
Speaking of which , i forgot to add in the first post ; ScC only supports Ustream & Livestream at the moment. That means the 90% of TL User Streams but still , I'll add other stream services in the future.
|
TL android app and now this... In one day ... X-mas comming somehow soon this year
|
Great program! Only two slight problems on my end. I have my taskbar on the right side of the screen and when the notifications pop up they're aligned on the right side UNDER it like so >
ive also had a minor error report pop up but i ignored it and it seemed to work fine
otherwise AWESOME aplication
|
LlamaNL - Whooops , that looks bad. But there isn't any other bug reports at the moment , and i don't have a second monitor to work on multi-monitor support so ; unless something more important comes up , I'll be working on this tonight
Uriel_SVK - Haha developer fighting!?
|
It would also be nice if i could rightclick the taskbar icon and select what i want to do from there.

Hmm you should be able to do that? I'm not quite sure i understand what you mean tho ; doesn't menu appear when you right click the icon?

hello,
any chance to make this app as a webservice so everyone can enjoy it (mac/linux) ? I'm a web developper using .Net also, althrough i'm not familiar with .Net 4.0 i'm a decent C# programmer and of course kickass html/css/javascript one so maybe i can give you a hand with it, actually i've been looking to help the community but i didn't knew what to do and this sounds great.
I'll take a look at the code if i find the time & motivation (i run low on both atm ). I'll send you PM if i start to code some stuff.
|
I've been waiting for something like this! Gonna give it a try when I'm home
Thanks!

Awesome, and looks cool. I'll have to test it out when I get home ^^
|
Umm, it works perfectly but when I click a stream all I see are the options and a black screen where the stream should be playing. Suggestions?
|
You should for sure make this into an Android app. I would die if this was on my phone.

Amber[LighT] , tofucake - Glad you like it
ZoidbergMD - Aww don't get me started on mobile phone development. I hate the fact that they can create a simple application ( even under 1000 lines of code ) , sell it for 5 bucks and make thousands because no one really cares about 5 dollars when it comes to mobile application ; meanwhile i created a huge application ( compared to mobile phone apps ) and if i dare to ask 1 dollar for it ( not that I'm intended to) I'll get crucified right next to Kotick. Damn cellphones , driving me mad...
On a serious note , there is a slight chance for an android app in future. maybe.... maybe.....
( Oh but i can get it on Windows 7 mobile if anyone wants/cares )
Ayush_SCtoss - Hmm I seems like a connection problem ( which i had a few while development , thanks to my beyond awesome isp -_- ). What happens when you Right-Click the middle black part? You'll probably see a Flash Player Context Menu which means ScC connected to my server , got the flash player BUT there is a connection problem between you and stream provider ( livestream / ustream ) so you can't play the video. And unfortunately there isn't much i can do about it if that's the case.
Oslo - I'll add them in 5 minutes , but I'm actually pretty sure i already have Hashe , LzGamer and probably Response. Oh but as you said , i can't see them in streams window , there must be a problem with the code , I'll check that asap. I'll add rigid and ubertoss but ScC doesn't support own3d yet , so i can't add Gretorp for now. ( thats wierd tho , i love gretorp but i didn't know he has a stream )
Edit : After a quick and veeery confusing debugging session , i just noticed that the titles of those streams ( hashe , lzgamer , response ) are
"Terran Stream by HasHe" ,
"Jacob Winstead" (lzgamer) and
"Jonathan Layman" ( response ).
Just look for those titles in stream window , they must be there  i also added UberToss ( title = "Spiritof[AoV]" ) and Rigid , enjoy !
Marou - It's using 2 main web services at the moment , TL Calendar Xml service and my personal stream data service. Both are free to use at the moment but I'll probably have to limit stream data service usage pretty soon. Coding for a gaming community is incredibly fun , so I'll help as much as i can , if you're planing something ScC code is a little messy at the moment as it's extremely rushed. I have to rewrite all regex stuff and add more threading etc.
Project at the site is not full tho , it lacks visual/design stuff , so it won't run as a project but all code is there.

This is incredibly handy.
No longer will I miss the beginning of SPL games because I am not paying attention.
Thanks a ton, this is a real help to the community.

ScC 1.2.2b is done!
- Taskbar Bug fixed ( Thanks to LlamaNL )
+ Show Spoiler +
- Multi Monitor Support Added ( Thanks to Tytanium )
+ Show Spoiler +
- Also change the stream system a little , you probably won't even feel the difference but if anything goes wrong , please let me know and I'll rollback that change.
PunitiveDamages , Ygz - I'm glad you like it guys.
ZoidbergMD - Well I'll see what i can do about Windows 7 mobile in 1-2 months. I haven't even saw a W7 phone yet , so i'll need some time to see if i can find a W7 phone to work on.
Also if you guys want to help/thank etc ; all i need at this moment , more users ( aka more encouragement ). So PLEASE ;
- Report the bugs so i can fix them
- Tell me if you want any additional features
- Spread the word! Let your friends know about ScC!
|
This program is soooo good. Thank you for all the time and effort put into it.
If you haven't already done so, could you add Minigun and HasHeT to the stream list.
Thanks again so much for this.

I just quoted myself to save "version changes" from the deeps of 2nd page.
Paperscraps - You're welcome , I'm glad you like it.
Hashe's stream is there , check for "Terran Stream" tag in stream window. It's the truncated version of the original title of Hashe's stream "Terran Stream by Hashe". I'll fix this when i redesign streams window soon.
And I'll add minigun's stream in a minute Enjoy

Wow, I love it. This could be like starcraft's own ESPN.
I'm a developer (in university right now, on a Co-op program work term atm), and I want to get in on this project. There's a couple bug's I've already noticed,
Most noticeably, on the calender main screen, if you click on an event to read it's description and mouse over the newly expanded box, you can no longer scroll, until you move the mouse over a different part of the window.
Also, when an event is within like 1 minute, the notifications were popping up like every 10 seconds, not 100% sure about the exact situation that causes it.
Also, you are missing some files in the source tracker (I pulled the source to check these issues out in code). stream.xml is missing from the project root, and the entire content directory is missing. This is likely either that you forgot to push the project file to the source control, or you forgot to include those files in the commit.
Would it be useful for me to stick this in the CodePlex issue tracker? Will the discussion and issues pages on the codeplex be monitored?
|
baaluo - Thanks man , glad you like it.
s_i_l - Thanks for your interest & time!
The issue you mentioned about calendar window is not a bug really ( it's a feature! ). But you're right i could have been better. The thing is , there is another scrollable editor in those event boxes and when your mouse is on the description of an event ; you're actually scrolling that description but of course if the description is short , ScC hides that editors vertical scroll so it feels a little weird. Check an event with long description like "MLG Pro Circuit Dallas Day 2" and you'll see what i mean. I'm not sure if i can change this behaviour but I'll look into it , thanks!
Notification timings should be customizable , and I'll try to add that in next big version. But the problem is ; there is lots of variable in those timings so I'll need a huuuuge settings window for that.
Ok i just check it and actually it's more spammy then intended because of some leftover code. Normally it was suppose to stop giving notifications when the remaining time ( to event ) is below 10 minutes , but for debugging and precision purposes i put that to 10 seconds for forgot to change it back to original -_- I'll fix this in the next version.
Source is not %100 there yet , all code ( cs files etc ) is there but I'm not releasing visuals/styles at the moment. I'm not really sleeping on my stupid png files but i really not sure about releasing WPF Style files yet. ( which makes text boxes , combo boxes , labels and buttons look like Sc2 style. About window is like a showcase for them ). Once ScC is out of beta , I'll probably release them all
About CodePlex Issue Tracker ; I think it's better if you post here so that every other TL user can see what's going on and talk about it etc. I doubt non-developer users will bother to read&post at CodePlex Issue Tracker.

Installing now :D will fill you in soon.
Sounds like such a good idea though man!'
EDIT:
GREAT PROGRAM! Love it, I'm also running it on dual screen mode and it works perfectly :D

Tiax;mous: About the calender window, I now see that it is operating as intended.
My suggestion would be that they should act like long text fields in normal windows controls, that is: if the mouse is over a scroll bar region within a scroll bar region (and any amount of recursion), then the innermost region should scroll with the mouse-wheel, until it reaches it's top or bottom limit, at which point the second-most inside nested region should be under the control of the mouse-wheel, and so on. (add a whole lot of newlines in your forum reply form, it should act like this).
The way it currently operates makes it seem as if the window is frozen, as moving the mouse wheel while in the middle of a document should always provide some sort of movement on the screen (unless it bottomed or topped out entirely of course), as this can be very disorienting if you scroll past an expanded item, and it suddenly stops moving.
Another issue is that if the calender window is open, and then you do something else, say open a browser on top of it, then pull up the system tray menu again and hit calender, nothing happens. It would make sense to force window focus or at least flash the backgrounded/minimized window to show that it is already open (again, it just feels like it's broken otherwise).
And please for the love of god, release the whole project in source control! Because #1: it's under the full GNU license which means that you're supposed to release all of the code (although I suppose styles are a bit of a data-vs-code grey area...), #2 This is a freaking awesome app, but it has issues, and I know how to fix those issues, but the lack of ability to build the project is driving me insane with a case of want-to-develop-itus, and #3 mercurial is great, because whatever changes I make to my own fork, you can just refuse my code push, but I still have my little fork operating how I like it.
TL;DR: Sorry for the rant, but I feel like a kid in fat camp who is being taunted with an ice-cream sandwich that he isn't allowed to eat right about now.

The icon for the for the pop up keeps appearing every 5 minutes while not showing anything.It's a bit annoying. Also it tends to over advertise a bit, popup every 5 mins in the 30 minutes before something airs.

Vasili - Glad you like it! Hardest part about multi monitor support was carrying my old and extremely heavy 17" monitor all the way across my house to my room My back is still aching , ouch
tofucake - Oh thanks for the report tofucake. One of my friends reported a similar problem , but he said it's not crashing the application , pretty rare and happens at start up. Just curious if it's the same bug. And of course I'll look into it today , Thanks!
LlamaNL - Hmm I'm not quite sure what you mean. Pop up Icon appearing at the task bar? ScC shouldn't create a popup if you disabled notifications or uncheck that event. Maybe it is creating the pop-up but it hides behind your browser or something ( any other big/fullscreen app ) because it shouldn't create a icon at taskbar without a visible window on desktop.
s_i_l - Indeed you're right about scroll bars in calendar. I'll look into it , but I'm not sure if i can achieve that exact behaviour.
I don't quite get the problem about window selection tho. If you have a Calendar Window behind your browser , you should have a ScC icon for that Calendar Window in your taskbar right? Why would you want to choose that window from menu again? I'm pretty sure i can implement that easily , but i never thought it would be useful
Wow now i feel like Gollum :D My precious Stylesss! But seriously I'm not over protective about them , just PM me your e-mail and I'll gladly mail it all to you (and any other serious developer), no problem It's just that putting them in a public space felt wrong , I'll gladly share it with anyone serious about it but not with every 12 year old and their grandma
Also you can find my e-mail in my Public Profile , just in case.
|
Tiax;mous Basically, the issue is that the calender window is open, but I forget about it/don't notice it (For example, it's behind another window, and I have a lot of windows open so I don't notice it in the task bar). Thinking that the window is just not open, I bring up the menu, click the button and nothing happens. Usually after a few clicks I remember that the window is in fact already open, but there are more intuitive ways for the app to handle this.
My appologies, I didn't consider the fact that there would be alot of non-development type people looking at it. I'll send you a PM.

s_i_l - Oh i see , Ok I'll look into it asap. If you already have that window open somewhere , program should change focus to that window eh? Easy peasy.
Edit : Done! It'll be in next version
Also sent the full code , glhf

the application runs absolutely smooth on my XP machine and i srsly fell in love with it.
especially the streamer is awesome. minimalistic and small.
great job!!
|
WOW dude ! :D
RESPECT !
This is the tool I NEEDED !
Many many many thanks. So far - works flawlessly.
P.S. : One small issue - Adverts keep appearing while watching the streams thru it. ABP perhaps ?
|
Mob - Thanks Mob , glad you like it!
speedphlux - You're welcome! Unfortunately Stream Player is based on IE , which is my only choice when it comes to development. If you're not using IE , you can disable Javascripts in your IE browser then you won't get ads in ScC Stream Player anymore! Indeed it's not an elegant solution but that's all i have for now ( I'm working on it tho ).

Sometimes when i try to open it from the notification area it will throw up this error:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Also it would be cool if when you double click it just throws up the last 5 notifications instead of the menu. And keep access to the menu to right clicking it. (or give us the option to select a default action for the double click)
|
LlamaNL - Thanks for the report LlamaNL , I'll definitely look into it.
Also that's a pretty nice idea , adding more functionality to ScC icon. Double click isn't working smoothly but I added it like this ;

It'll be in next version ( releasing tomorrow or next day )

LlamaNL - Hmm I'm not quite sure what you mean. Pop up Icon appearing at the task bar? ScC shouldn't create a popup if you disabled notifications or uncheck that event. Maybe it is creating the pop-up but it hides behind your browser or something ( any other big/fullscreen app ) because it shouldn't create a icon at taskbar without a visible window on desktop.
I've figured out what is happening. When i'm actively browsing and an alert pops up, it won't always be on top. Especially if i've just clicked in a window. I had turned the sounds off so i didnt understand it was showing me a notification.
So a notification pops up, i click a window, and the notification is hidden behind the window before it has time to fade in. It should be 'always on top'.

This is brilliant. I'd recommend getting rid of the black loading bar though. It looks awful compared to the other screens. A small splash screen would be nice, if it was just letting the user know the program was loading.
This should definitely get more exposure. I'm trying to get more into starcraft 2 but the sheer amount of tournaments and whatnot is kinda overwhelming. Don't even know where to start. What is it that day9 always says about making esports more accessible? This program does just that. <3
|
Wow this looks so good, can't wait to try it
|
LlanaNL - Notifications used to be "Always on Top" but sometimes with some games , that creates some problems. (Like unintended switches to ScC in the middle of game ) And of course the last thing i want , is to disturb users gaming. I'll look into it tho , if i can find a way to prevent that and still keep pop up's on top , I'll add it back in for sure.
blomsterjohn - Thanks man , please don't forget to post about what you think about it afterwards
Darren1337 - In the earlier beta stages , before adding that loading bar , a few friends told me that an instant response after running application would be nice because loading process takes 2-3 seconds and they cannot be sure if they mis clicked ScC Shortcut or not in those 2-3 seconds. So it's like a confirmation window , "Yea it's running now , you didn't mis clicked" etc. This is important especially when a user running it for first time ( who even don't know it's a system tray application , expecting a big window in the middle etc )
I thought it looks cool but I'll work on it today if you think it's ugly. Just a little bar , I'm pretty sure i can beautify it.
Edit : Better or Worse?
+ Show Spoiler +
Indeed ScC needs more exposure at the moment. But unfortunately i can't code & debug & add new feature & create visuals & do marketing & post long detailed presentation posts in every forum IN my exam week That's why i need you guys to spread the word and help me.
The whole point of ScC is to bring the community to your desktop ,
we got an awesome community in TL but browsers capabilities are extremely limited ,
we got a Battle.Net 2.0 in game which is......... well not as good as we would like it to be ,
and ScC is like a love child of those 2 , TL services , on your desktop with all the eye candy and visual style of Sc2 !
And indeed it also makes Sc2 more accessible to the crowd. I have friends who don't know anything about Sc2 but still watches tournaments/streams because it's there , just 2 clicks away with ScC.
If only a big community favorite name like Day9 / Wheat / JP etc , give ScC a shot
In the other news ; s_i_l joined me for the development of ScC ! Hopefully ScC will improve faster from now on.
Next patch will be released soon with few bug fixes , UI improvements and a whole new feature!

Where can i download the XP version?
Does the Version in the OP work for XP as well?
|
|

I love this program. The main thing I love about it is the streaming windows can be made like 95% of full screen. I am also running 2 monitors, and i like to watch on one screen and do other things on the other. Since I cant have videos full screen unless they are the active window, i have to shrink them to do anything, but with the streaming window from the program, i just maximize it on one side and its really large and is a negligible difference from full screen.
I have a couple requests though.
1) If i click on the icon in the notification area and the menu opens, can you put an option there to close the menu so it can disappear without having to refresh the notifications or having to open something.
2) MLG cast functionality. If this was added this thing would be perfect, but I can understand if its a huge problem because I have never seen this stream embedded in any other sites, and i know you're working on it.
3) A restore down option. When making full screen with windows 7, to shrink the window again you have to hit alt+space and then select restore to make the window smaller. It's ok for me, but if someone doesn't know the shortcut, it may confuse them.
4) Online updates, which you probably are working on for when it's not in beta anymore, but just in case
Edit: Sorry to sound demanding, but it's hard to suggest over the internet without sounding like a dick. Call me a high templar, cuz i'm just giving some feedback :D
Thanks a lot, I love it.
|
JulianSidewind - Glad you like it!
1) You can actually simply right click the menu and it'll disappear just like notifications . Left clicks opens , right clicks closes.
2) We are planning to add tournament casts but we won't have a Blizzcon or MLG for a long time now and adding Gom support would be illegal so i guess there is no need to rush function for now .
3) Oh i just checked that and noticed [1x] is not working at that situation , thanks for reporting that of course I'll try to fix that.
4) I'm not sure i understand this one tho , you mean something like auto update to download&install new versions? Well i guess i can implement such thing but to be honest , I'm not really eager to do that for many reasons like , it'll kill my website bandwidth and probably cost me a decent amount of money etc.
PLEASE do ask for more , knowing that peoples using&loving my application is the thing keeps me going. More feedbacks = Better ScC = More Users = More feedbacks = Rainbows and ponies EVERYWHERE!
|
Oh cool, right click is awesome , yea i figured casts with specific companies would be difficult.
|
Do I have to dl the new version? Or will the previous version function properly if I don't dl the latest version?
|
Ayush_SCtoss - Well I'm doing my best to not break somethings in the older versions while adding new stuff so yes , you can use older versions ( at least for now ) but it's much better to get most recent version with bug fixes ( as you can see in this topic ) and lots of new features/improvements.
I'll release 1.2.3b pretty soon ( tomorrow i guess , damn exam week ) and yes 1.2.2b and 1.2.1b will still be functional , no problem
|
will the program detect if a new version comes out?
looks cool btw =)
|
JulianSidewind, Blackhawk13, and basically everyone else - I'm going to take point on a method for doing an auto-reminder for new versions.
This won't be as nice as firefox's auto-update feature (where it automagically says that the program is updated), as that would require us to host our own download server (very expensive for a starting open source project).
What we can realistically do, however, is use web services to detect if a new feature has been released, and then a reminder message will pop up when you refresh your stream/calender/social feed info. (oops, did I just drop an upcomming feature there?) That reminder will provide a link for you to open our download page to get the newest version. We'll do our best to not make this as bothersome as adobe updater.
You can expect this functionality to go public in a week or two.
|
Hey guys ,
I just wanted to inform you about what's going on / new features / new patch. I'm having an extremely hard time as this is my exam week but still , we're improving it non-stop.
A few days ago we decided to skip the small patch we were planning ( 1.2.3b ) and concentrate on a major patch ! ( 1.3.0b )
As i said , 1.3.0b will be a major patch which means new features ; IRC CLIENT & RSS READER ! I have been working on chat and s_i_l has been working on rss for a few days now , and hopefully both will be released this weekend.
A few pictures now ;
New loading screen , Darren1337 didn't liked the old one
+ Show Spoiler +
New Menu with chat button ( i'll also add rss pretty soon )
+ Show Spoiler +
you REALLY want chat channels? Well enjoy! ..... till I remove it at ScC 2.0
+ Show Spoiler +
Lots of little improvement. For example , stream tags now has current viewer count and streams are ordered by this number.
+ Show Spoiler +
And lots of other smaller stuff like a restore down option for stream windows ( Thanks to JulianSidewind for reporting that ) and smoother mouse movement in calendar window ( Thanks to s_i_l for both reporting and fixing that )
Our latest release is ScC 1.2.2b at the moment , and as i said we're planing to release all these this weekend.
Don't hesitate to post here and ask for any further improvement / features you want.
And please if you like it , spread the word and let your friends know about it!

A way around the app popping up over a game is having an "away" button, that disables popups.

well we have such an option at the bottom of main menu , but still what if user simply forgets disable them before launching the game. Maybe i should give user an option to activate "On Top" with lots of warning messages and leave the choice to them. I'll look into that. It's extremely easy to implement but I'm simply not sure if it's a good idea or not , at the moment.

Just realized the "about" screen text is modifiable. The textboxes should probably be locked, unless you're okay with it

Ben Türkçe yazıcam. Dostum ellerine sağlık seninle gurur duymamak elde değil. Yeni sürümü sabırsızlıkla bekliyoruz ve forumda da dediğim gibi Türkçe dil paketi ve anlatımıda istiyoruz

JulianSidewind - oh i didn't noticed that About window is just like a showcase for Sc2 Styles components , and editing them won't effect anything , so i guess I won't fix it for now , thanks anyway.
Bursat - Thanks for your kind words Bursat , I'm afraid it's not allowed to post non-english on TL but hopefully mods will allow for just once. I'll definitely add language support in the future but at the moment I'm concentrating on new features and app-wise improvements.Once we release all the feature ,we have in mind ; we'll go for such improvements like language support etc.

Can't we see the non-featured streams and infos like race and description in the streams menu? It would be great if we could.

Actually it's grouped by online/offline not featured/non-featured , but yes as you said there should be a way to see the details of stream without opening it etc.
As i said before I'm not quite happy with UI design at the moment, I've done lots of improvements for 1.3.0b but still I'll probably redesign them all pretty soon ( especially calendar window and streams window )
For example , 1.3.0b Streams window ; still wip

Better?

We decided to delay RSS feature for a bit , as we weren't %100 happy with it yet. It'll be in our next release with other new features!
Hope you'll like it! Please don't hesitate to report any bug or ask for new features.
Darren133 - I hope you'll like the new loading bar better
LlamaNL - You can now set left/right click ( on icon ) to show notifications.
Ayush_SCtos - Older versions should still be working without any problem. Do you really want to miss chat rooms tho?
JulianSidewind - [1x] button in the stream player is now restoring down the window as intended. Still i recommend using Flash Players "FullScreen" feature. It works kinda smoother.
Just let me know if you find any more bugs or want any kinda of improvements As you can see i'm trying to fix/implement things according to feedbacks , as soon as possible.

I am using Microsoft 7 64-Bit, and I have Framework 4.0 installed.
When I choose to ignore the error and continue, at first, the program kind of runs in the background but is inaccessible. The icon is present on the taskbar, but I can't open any menu or even close the program.
What's odd though is that during this time I can view the menu of the app, through the taskbar preview, or windows tab function (alt+tab)
After 15 mins of trying to access the menu, it finally pops up on the screen, however, after clicking the refresh calendar option, the same thing starts all over again.
Also, it has randomly crashed on me once, however there wasn't any data in the windows message, only "This program has stopped working."
I also realized that I can see the loading screen through the taskbar preview when I start the program, but nothing shows up on the desktop.
I have tried reinstalling the program a few times, after rebooting and whatnot. Basically, it doesn't give the error message anymore the first time I start it up, but it runs in the same manner.
Any ideas? Really looking forward to getting this to work. If there is anything else that you need, let me know.

HOw did i miss this. Omg, this looks so good! Im gonna download this asap

novandaz & fevax - Thanks guys , glad you like it!
never_toss - It's just moved from general forum to Sc2 general , and it seems general forum isn't really active compared to sc2 general these days
Ziken - hmm this is interesting. Seems like you're having a problem with one image in the menu , converter class fails to do it's job and somehow get an "out of range exception". I'll look into it , I'll try to reproduce the error on my machine but I'm also using 64bit W7 and never got an error like this before. But i got a few questions , which may help me solve this one ;
Is it happening occasionally or every single time? ( you said "randomly" , can you just skip the error and keep using the app ?)
Have you used ScC 1.2.2 before this one? Had you any problems with that?
If you haven't used 1.2.2 before , and if you got a few minutes to help ; can you install & try that please? So that we can see if that's a problem with 1.3.0 or general.
1.2.2 had over 500 downloads and I've only heard 1-2 crashes yet so this looks like a problem with .Net or your system. I'll definitely look into it & do my best tho

This application is so fking awesome, I think you are on very good way.
-Only thing I'm missing atm is to be able set nick, and additional channels in setting for IRC

Glad you like it! Actually there is a pretty decent options menu at top right , first button in the stack. Indeed it's a weird looking icon for an options menu but i got so used to it that i never thought new user will ( obviously ) have problems with that.
You can set your nickname , change color codes , add new servers etc in the options menu. Floe Chat is so damn powerful
( you can also use /nick Blah to change your nickname )
It doesn't have a special button for channels as irc command is pretty easy for that ;
/join #TeamLiquid
or
/join #myfavoritechannel
Also you can right click to server tab ( irc.quakenet.org ) , and create a new server tab from the menu there. Then right click -> connect -> "server name" to connect any other servers , you previously added from options menu.
Also you can right click any tab and detach from main window....
hmm I probably should write a mini guide for Irc client eh?

will there ever be a filter added? for example if I don't want to have to X off a certain league whenever it pops up

Hmm I'm don't quite get what you mean. If you mean filters for notifications , you can uncheck the check box from notifications itself or in the calendar window. You won't get a notification about that event anymore.
Ohh you mean just disable , let's say all Proleague event all together eh? Hmm we don't have such a feature at the moment but considering the proleague spam going on in the calender , maybe we should have..... Thanks Lil.Sassy

Okay, to clarify what I meant by randomly, basically, the error that I posted above, that is, the unhandled exception error, for which i posted additional details happens only upon running the program for the first time, after which, even if I reinstall the program, the error doesn't show, however, the program runs in the same way (I can only view it in the preview screen).
Its actually running but I just cant seem to access or use it.
It only crashed once, randomly, and windows gave no error. This, I think, may have been because I was continuously trying to get it run, changing things like installation directories, and process priority in the task manager.
Other than this one instance, the program never crashes, it just runs in the background, Inaccessible.
I just tried installing an older version, and the exact same thing happened. Upon installing and running for the first time, the same error shows up;
Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.

The above error is for v 1.22
In case you are unclear by what I mean by inaccesible;
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/tDokX.png)
Basically, it appears on the taskbar, and I can see it in the preview, but when I click on it to open, the desktop remains empty. Likewise, the icon on the right side (time area) is completely unresponsive.
By the way, the response is the same for both v 1.21 and 1.22
Hope that clears it up.

Ziken - Hm thanks for the detailed description and I'll definitely look into that but I'm afraid , considering that you're having same problem with all versions which are downloaded over 700 times up to this time , this is a problem with your system or .Net installation. Or maybe some other program somehow effecting it ( anti-virus etc maybe? ) I'll post here and contact you via PM as soon as i manage to find a solution for this one. Thanks for your interest and time ziken

Starcraft Calendar 1.3.0.1b Hotfix Released!
Hey guys , i know this way quick but i talked to R1CH last night ans he asked me to modify my Xml Request function which gathers data from TL Calendar so I HAD TO release this hotfix. Obviously this new function works much more better&smoother for both ScC and TL now. So thanks to R1CH for that!
Also while working on that , Tnud reported a few bugs and asked for a few improvement in TL IRC Channel ( my nick is Tiax there btw , don't hesitate to say hi )
- Scroll in Calendar Window is at the right hand side now.
- "Open in default browser" option added to streams window.
+ Show Spoiler +
- Fixed a bug where some messages with some certain keywords doesn't go through IRC Server
- Fixed a bug where input textbox in Chat vibrates under certain circumstances.
Thanks to Tnud for all of it and helping me test them!
Also believe me i know you don't like a new release every single day and having to download it all over again. It's much worse for me as i can't release hotfixes and patches the second i find&solve a bug/problem. Buuutttt...
![[image loading]](http://www.fireberry.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/farnsworth.jpg)
Good news everyone !
I think i found a way to implement Auto-Update feature into ScCalendar! It isn't implemented yet , not in this patch , but I'll be concentrating on that now and hopefully next version will have auto update. If i succeed , you won't have to download any setup again and i can happily release fixes/patches/versions every single day! :D
|
Nice ! Will try this now.
-fyi the download didnt work for me Used Explorer instead of firefox and it worked.
|
Hey is it possible if you could also include an actual calendar into this application? It would be awesome if there is a calendar of which we can set our own dates and such. It would be so much more useful then google calendar Plus it would look far cooler
|
I just spent like half an hour playing with the timestamp formats....
Anyways, think you could include an option in the irc settings to not show notifications of people changing nickname? There doesn't seem to be any notifications of people joining/leaving the channel which is great though!
You did a great job on the irc chat otherwise though, it's going to replace my mIRC!
As for errors, setting the number of notifications,
For any number n>5, the list gets shifted up by ~n-4.
For n=6, it shifts up only a tiny bit, negligible
For n=7, it shifts up that tiny bit + a whole notification size
For n=8, it shifts up that tiny bit + 2 notification sizes
I will try and get a few screenshots for you.
Other then that, great revision, keep up the great work.
Edit: Tiax;mous, check your PM's for screenshots of error.
|
WarChimp - I'll redesign calendar and streams window in the future ( probably 2 patches from now at worst ). And I'm thinking about implementing a full scale calendar there as you said ; but obviously such a work will take time to implement & test. I'll actually add that to our Issue Tracker now ( http://sccalendar.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic )
HTX - Interesting , codeplex is a pretty big website&community ; they shouldnt have such bugs in their system
|
Hello folks.
I am using this application, as I have installed it yesterday, and it is great. It is colorful and looks appealing. It links to popular streams, and makes them easy to view from inside the app. The settings are just what you need, and nothing more, it seems. I think this should be somehow provided as the default IRC client of recommendation on TeamLiquid. It's like an all-in-one package.
|
Tiax;mous awesome I can't wait :D
|
|
|
Yea!
This app is awesome! It's kinda sad that it's in sc2 general since it moves too fast to get noticed
|
is it possible to leave it always on, cause its kinda annoying to reclick on the task bar every time i want to check a diffrent tab, since im useing dual monitor i can just leave it on left screen always open.
|
tnud - Thanks man , a big part of those improvements are thanks to you
thesideshow - I love you too!
Megaman - Thanks megaman , glad you like it! Dont hesitate to contact me for any improvement you want.
JulianSidewind - I'm sorry somehow i missed your post in my previous one. Indeed we need a detailed option for system messages. I hided join/quit/left messages at last second before release ( i'm just trying to make it look like sc2 ingame chat) , so didn't have much time to add an option for that but without a doubt I'll add that soon. Also I thought nick changes are important just to prevent changing nick and fooling people every 5 seconds
And yea about the notifications , actually they work as they should on my system (24" & 1920/1080 ) but obviously it's not working with different screen resolutions. I'm trying to test everything as much as i can but can't catch every bug . Thanks for reporting and detailed screen shots tho , I'll fix that asap!
Hugoboss21 - Hmm you mean the menu right? Of course i can do that , i can easily do that ; it's just that i never thought someone would need such an option. I'll need a big huuuge options window soon

Best application I downloaded recently. It's a must have for anyone who watch streams and want to stay aware of the scene.

Help? I don't know if it is the program or my computer.
|
Keeler & eKe - Thanks guys , glad you like it.
NuKedUFirst - Hmm well you're having a problem with msi installer , which means either it's corrupted as it already says , or ... well i don't know Have you tried downloading setup again?
|
!! Got it to work, I only received half of the required files the first time I downloaded the msi. Got 'em all the second time and it works great! Well done!

Man you almost gave me a heart attack there Hope you'll like it !
|
Wow this is freakin awesome! Downloading right now.
|
This is fan-fucking-tastic
|
this program is fucking amazing, I dont know how this thread hasn't gotten more attention before now
|
this program is very nice, I have a huge request from you though which A LOT of people will probably love... could you make it so that your program overrides the flash de-maximize on action on another monitor? I have 2 monitors and if I maximize a stream on one of them and click on something on the other it goes into windowed again :S this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine and like 100% of my friends who have more screens than one, it would be a insane good feature!
|
Nub4ever & HollowLord & mOnion - Thanks guys , glad you like it! Thread is just moved from "General Forum" to "Sc2 General" , and it seems "General Forum" is not as active as i thought.
lolwhat - Hmm doing that in the way you describe is impossible. BUT if you're using W7 you can simply drag window to the top of your monitor and I'll maximize the window ( pretty close to fullscreen ). You can then restore back with [1x] button. ( sometimes it fails to resize the content inside , just resize a little and it'll fix it automatically )
|
When I run the program after a fresh install, I get the art on the bottom-right of the screen and the flavour text (eg "Acquiring flux disk"), but shortly afterwards it crashes, with an unhandled System.IO.FileNotFoundException. I fired up a debugger and found that the exception message was:
"Could not find file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\brn\ScCalendar\ErrorLog.xml'."
That file doesn't exist, but by creating it myself (leaving it empty) I am able to fix the crash and run the program fine (as far as I can see). I'm on Vista 64bit.
edit: as a feature request, is it possible to display the [SC2], [BW], [Misc] tags for each stream? Or is that already possible? The program is fantastic, though, and thank-you for making it.

That is a flaw in flash. There are scary hex edits and programs out there that try to fix the problem... but they are scary. Nothing this program can do about it

rocketboy77 - Oh god i was so sure i excluded that from project , damn i really hope that won't create much problem for other users. I'll put this to first post , thanks so much!
(btw it was supposed to log something inside that file , can you PM me what was it? )
At the moment , ScC Stream Service is seperate from TL User Streams , thus i can't get the tags & TL names of the streams. But I'll look for a way around , i really want to add those 2 things.

New bug i discovered while in day9tv chat. The chat was fine for most of the stream, but when i typed something, it stopped responding slightly after. Restarted chat, stopped responding instantly.
Before this occurrence, the last time it stopped responding was a few hours ago when i had it on for quite a while and it just stopped responding. I didn't click debug, but if it happens again i will and post results.
Edit: can i also request the Response stream :D
|
won't let me download, screen just goes grey, has anyone else had this issue?
|
JulianSidewind - Hmm interesting error with the stream chat. ( you said day9tv chat so i believe you mean the stream chat right? Not Irc? ) But it's probably something to do with Flash , not ScC ; because what you saw in stream players & chat window is just an Internet explorer with maximized player&chat. There is hardly any code behind that , belongs to me. I'll still look into that tho , Thanks for reporting
Also Response's stream is there actually. The thing is I'm not using TL stream page to generate data , but using my own service. So streams aren't listed or named by their TL usernames. Response's stream title is "Jonathan Layman" which is probably his real name? Thus you can find response stream by that name in streams list ,
Lists are first ordered by viewer count , then alphabetically. But response's stream is pretty popular that even when it's off line it has 10-20 viewers , so if it's off line you can probably find it at the top of off line list or at J section. Enjoy!
n0xi3 - That's a weird issue about CodePlex and probably your browser. Someone else also mentioned that before , probably your browser blocking CodePlex's javascript etc. You can simply use IE for a min or check your current browsers script options. Codeplex is THE open source community of Microsoft so no worries , you can enable scripts
|
I like this program for many reasons, but one main one is that it is so suited for those going on IRC specifically for TL. It fits the match wonderfully.
|
Tiax;mous - Thanks for the response I think adblock blocks the script, would of tried with IE early but had to head to class. Do you have Rigids stream on there?
Edit* Found it, was at the top of the list not with the other "R"s
|
Megaman - Thanks man glad you like it!
n0xi3 - As far as i know there isn't any good IE ad blockers. I guess i can find a work around but that'll take time. Again if youa are not using IE , you can simply disable Javascripts in IE which will stop any ad ; but obviously that's not an elegant solution...
We're working non-stop , you can find our changelog here. It up to date.
Also the issue tracker here
Added tooltips for non-standard icons.
Added new settings icon for the IRC client

Hey Tiax, Got it all setup and working good, The only problem I have is getting the IRC to work. It connects me with my handle and says in the server info that I am connected to #teamliquid and shows the player list... but the channel itself will not show up... in fact if i join other channels they do not show up either.... any suggestions?
|
Wow just DL this, really a nice program, thanks for the work I'll be using it constantly.
|
FLuE - Glad you like it FLuE ! Don't hesitate to post for any bugs / requests
n0xi3 - Hmm now that's weird. Actually I'm not even sure if i get it ( well it's 8am here so i blame the sleeplessness ). So you can connect to irc.quakenet.org , then the server windows says that you're joined to TL , then you can even see the other users as a list at the right hand side ; but the main chatbox in the middle doesn't appear?
If it's not too much trouble , can you PM me a screen shot of that? Also if you haven't already , can you check the 3 button at the right bottom side and tell me how they behave? For example ; rightmost one suppose to pop up a little window with all chat windows name in them. Can you see anything in that pop up?
Yea , that's a lot of questions but I'm trying to understand what's going on so i can ( hopefully ) help. You're the first person reported such a bug.
Thanks in advance

Has the bug been fixed which would spam the notifications 1min b4 the game started?

It actually was the IRC chat.

Tiax, sent you a pm with the pic, let me know if you have any suggestions, I guess I worded the problem a bit wrong as I do not see the player list on the right side, but the server lists the players in the channel in the server window (main window).
Thanks for all the help man its greatly appreciated.

dang nice program, didnt see this till now, def gonna use a lot!
|
we need more people like you in TL, sigh all I did was translate a chinese article about Sen =(
anyways great work!
|
Flaunt - Gotta admit I'm not %100 sure about that , as far as i can say ( and Tnud says so ) yea it's fixed , actually there is an event in 3 mins , I'll check that out and edit this again
Edit : Yup , checked that , no more spam! :D
JulianSidewind - Oh i see , I'll look into that , thanks
n0xi3 - SOLVED! According to screenshot you sent , you got empty space in your nickname which cause this problem. Merge the words in your nick or use _ , and it'll work perfectly. I'm a newb in IRC so I'm not really sure if this is a irc behaviour orScCFloe problem at the moment. They say it's an irc issue!
Suffo - Thanks Suffo , glad you like it!
SubPointOA - Thanks man , I'm doing all i can! And here is an idea ; actually if you want to help , you can translate a few keyword to Chinese for ScC? I'll start working on multi-language support soon , and of course Chinese support would be huge! I'll probably release a word-list soon and as for help from community for translations

Here is a screenshot of the error, It's pretty redundant, but when I click debug nothing happens.
|
JulianSidewind - Oh i see , debug doesn't do anything because you probably don't have Visual Studio or it's equal on your PC. Well I haven't tested ScCFloe on Ustream servers , tomorrow I'll do that and try to recreate the problem on my machine. Then hopefully i may help. Thanks for the reports and screenshot !
Aaaand as an extra content , here is a wip ( work in progress ) shot of a little improved Streams Window ;
![[image loading]](http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6320/streams8.jpg)
Added stream service provider logos to tags and remove the "open in default browser" icon. You can click provider logo to open in browser now. Also as you can see we have own3D support now ; well their information service is pretty clumsy at the moment but hopefully they'll fix that till our next release.
I'll probably change the Refresh Data button next. Also our stream service is faster now , you may even feel it with your current ScC Client , Xml Process time is down to 50-70 seconds from 120 seconds!
|
wow seems awesome thanks a lot!

I actually do have visual studio :D
It's probably because i don't have the source code for the debug button to direct me to.

First, quick bump because I absolutely love this program. Really makes it much easier to just follow everything that is going on, consolidates a lot of information so you don't miss out on some event or stream. So with that said DL this!!
Few suggestions/issues. Please let me know if any of this can already be done and I'm just missing it.
First, a setting so that when I hit "notifications" it would stay up longer. Finding that sometimes it disappears before I can ready through all of them and see what is going on. Also would love if on the notifications there was a little icon maybe in the bottom right to designate if it is an SC2 or BW event. Interested in SC2 and not BW so much and would be quicker to gloss over those. Maybe that would also lead to a setting where you could choose all notifications or just SC2 or BW notifications?
Anyway, just minor suggestions I really think this is a great program and find the interface to be easy and creative. Sorry if this sounds a bit overkill w/ the compliments I just really enjoy when people take the time to create something that is going to save me time/make life easier more enjoyable. Just the simple things sometimes do it.
|
snorlax - Thanks man , glad you like it!
JulianSidewind - Interesting , at least you should have been able to get a detailed error message.
Anyway , i think i fixed the bug you reported earlier , where too many notifications mess up the placement. Well instead of trying to fix an unvisible thing , i decided to limit the notification count by your monitor limits. If your resolution can fit 10 , and you've selected 15 in the settings , it'll just show you ten ( the way it always should have been ).
FLuE - Thanks FLuE! About your suggestions ; you can easily move back and forth in notification details menu , so i didn't thought you would need more time to click them all. So you can just click one then move to next or previous right?
I guess i can add a tag for BW events , can't exactly remember the data xml at the moment but as far as i remember , it contained "type" of event. But I'm not a fan of adding that to popups as it'll get too crowded in those little boxes. Instead , i can ( and i will , soon ) add a filter to calendar window ; where you can filter out proleague events etc. We'll really need that as lots of users aren't happy with proleague spam Sounds better eh?
Also thank YOU for feedback , I love to hear users feedbacks , suggestions etc. so please don't hesitate to post and ask for more !
Also a little update on our progress ; along side fixing bunch of bugs , today i re-skinned ScCFloe Settings Window! A few more things and ScCFloe will be %100 Sc2 Style.
![[image loading]](http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8481/programmanager26.jpg)
Still a wip tho , needs a little more tweaks.
OF course i'll switch ScC options window to this style as soon as possible and hopefully then we'll have a lot more space for a lot more options , and we'll be able to let you customize ScC a lot more!
|
I got the irc error again and the an error window came up when i clicked debug, i hit break and i took a screenshot of it, when i get it again ill hit continue instead of break and see what happens and report back.

If you don't like something PLEASE tell us! We'll fix it!
I added your feedback to the issuetracker and it will most likely be added for the next release (Soon™). Like Tiax said, the event feed has some information but unfortunately not the game being played. We can probably add proper filters for proleague and other regular events since they have their own type (so does GOM).
The event types have their own icons, so if you ignore all PL, MBC and Ogn icons = no more BW for example.
If you like ScC please spread the word, the more the merrier :D

Thank you for all your help! It isn't easy fixing/reporting bugs when we cannot reproduce them on our systems

if i may make a tiny little suggestion.
i feel the program would be even better if you did some news following. almost like built in rss feeds, withouht having to add them in manually, so we could check out the latest news from one view, you could put like tl.net, and starcraft2.com, and other major starcraft 2 news sites.
also possibly add twitter feeds into it, incorperating some popular twitter feeds like artosis and incontrol.this would be nice to get to see the twitter feeds without having to have like 10 bookmarks
also more streams would be perfect. right now i only see about 5 or 6 online when tl shows 31, not that there needs to be all of them, but some of the more bigger ones liek cella and the root people would be awesome

Is any plugin, software, or whatever required to make the streaming work? All I get is an image icon in the top left corner and a black screen.

Yes, you need flashplayer for IE installed.
go here with internet explorer: http://get.adobe.com/se/flashplayer/
How do you like the app so far?
masterbreti: Tiax will be back in a couple of hours, he'll answer you better then I can. I think we got most of that on the way though :D
|
Hey everyone ,
GreyFox.me - As Tnud said , you probably need IE Flash Player which is for some reason different than FF/Opera etc plugins. It's easy to miss that if you're not using IE like the majority these days
masterbreti - We are actually working on Rss & Tweeter following support at this moment , and both will be released with next version. ( by the way , you can check our issue tracker for these things , we use is as a TODO list )
And about more streams , i added own3d support a few days ago. Their service isn't working smoothly as livestream or ustream but hopefully they'll fxz that soon and it'll be %100 till our next release.
Other than that ; as you can see , more than half of those streams in TL list has lower than 10 viewer any given time. And because having ALL of them slows down the stream update process , we decided to leave some of the less populars ones out till users request it.
We currently have about 300 streams , and can add any stream you want instantly , just post here or PM me their names
And , today's progress ; other than lots of change in code part , i've added featured streams support to streams window.
+ Show Spoiler +
Of course we'll need a better logo for that That part is still "work in progress"
And also added event filter , which is requested by many ;
+ Show Spoiler +
At the moment we got 3 types of event ; BW Events , Gom Events and Community Events. With those 2 little buttons on top left , you can filter or search about those type of event. If you left click , it searches those kind of event , if you right click it'll disable notifications for those type of events. So Sc2 players can easily disable BW event notifications spam with one simple right click
Other than that , current change log is here ;
+ Show Spoiler +
Added tooltips for non-standard icons.
Added new settings icon for the IRC client
Added new setting: Keep menu open (Until minimized/closed by user
Added open in default browser to offline streams
Added tooltip to offline streams showing full name
Added a checkbox to keep the stream window always on top
Added settings to show/hide nick changes on IRC
Added settings to show/hide joined/left/quit messages in IRC
Added a lot more streams.
Added support for Own3d streams (As good as it gets, own3d doesn't have a real api)
Added a small icon to distinguish featured streams.
Added quick ways to select/deselect all GOM/BW events
Added autodetect for updates. Whenever an update is available a new bar will appear on the popup menu linking to our webpage.
Changed the icon and placement for Open in default browser.
Changed the event search so it also searches through event descriptions.
Reskinned the settings window for the IRC client.
Merged Settings and About bar to save space
Fixed a bug with leftover debugging code (ErrorLog.xml FileNotFoundException)
Fixed a bug where clicking the IRC title area caused the program to crash
Fixed a bug where "Open log location" in IRC settings only worked if you had any logs
Fixed a bug where Refresh Data on the streams list would not work
Fixed a bug when the program tried to load more notifications then possible to fit on screen, it would misplace the start of the list.
Fixed a bug where the loading window and notifications would steal focus.
Fixed a bug where not closing the program properly would result in unsaved settings
Fixed a bug where the program would crash if your internet connection didn't work on startup

Just a status update on development here.
RSS & twitter support are sitting at about 90% completion! Tiax is just going through the UI so it follows the Terran command-center theme, and we're testing the crap out of it.
It will ship with support for some of our favorite RSS and Twitter feeds. The list currently stands at:
Team Liquid News
Sc2 (unofficial) blog
Day9's Blip.tv feed
Day9's twitter
DJWheat's twitter
GomTV's twitter
Blizzard's SC2 twitter.
If anyone is a follower of another social feed, and thinks that feed should be shared with all of the users of StarCraftCalender, please post here to recommend them!
|
How about artosis's and tasteless's (callmetasteless) twitter?
|
JulianSidewind - Well users can add their favorite rss and twitter feeds themselves at the moment, but as you pointed out ; artosis and tasteless should probably come by default.
And currently work in progress ; ScC Settings Menu;
+ Show Spoiler +
We're working as hard&fast as we can and hopefully , we'll be able to finish a few more features till release ( blip.tv support for daylies maybe? ).
If you want anything else ( or fixed ) ,
you can post here ( best option as everyone can see what's the problem and the solution ) ,
PM me ,
find me at TL Irc Room all night (EU) as "Tiax" or "[ScC]Tiax"
mail me sccalendar@hotmail.com

I really do like it but is there a possibility to create simpler layout ? Without pretty graphics etc etc just as simple as possible ? (and maybe less pc usuage ?)
|
CryGirl1921 - Glad you like it!
We actually have plans about a ScCLite or making current app skinable but at the moment , we're concentrated on new features & improvements. Once we released all core features once , we'll start working on things like design (skinable UI) & support (multi language).
At the moment we're reusing Terran theme ( which i created even before starting ScC ), in every window. And i only decided to redo the settings because had a free night while waiting for other developers to finish some functions ( syncing code ). So it's not like we're spending time in eye candy or etc.
After this release ( 1.3.1 in a week ) , I'll see what i can do about skinable UI or at least an option for minimalist & worksafe skin.
Thanks for the feedback!
|
I'll be brutally honest here, and before everyone flames me just realise i say this for the good of the application...
--------
This fucking rocks :D:D. Consolidates so much information into something I can just briefly glance at to make sure I'm up to date and not missing something i wanted to watch.
It's really slick too, and goes nicely with a lot of the w7 standard themes :3.
I'm trying to figure out how i can have the main menu permanently up on the desktop, but without it having priority over things like my browser, any tips?
Great work all in all. really good addition to the community.
EDIT. one thing i particularly love, is the countdown bit, no longer do i have to convert every single different timezone into my own GMT..
i just know "it starts in 5 hours". Brilliant
TRIPLE EDIT:
IF there was some way to add in a notification of GSL matches starting to go live, that would be hamazing, although i'll be buying ticket as usual to watch the vods afterwards
|
Here is the irc error window, i waited this long to post it because i thought if i hit continue it would show more detail, but it did nothing, so here it is:
+ Show Spoiler +
Hitting Break just brings me to a bunch of assembly code that I really don't want to read through, but if it's necessary I can post it too.

Scrimpton - Glad you like it Scrimpton , Thanks for the kinds words and the heart attack you gave me after those first 2 lines
About the menu , we added an option to settings for that and it'll be in next version. IF you activate it , menu won't get closed till you go right click on it yourself. It's just stay there as long as you want.
Notifications for GSL is pretty hard as they don't have a official service for that , but we're adding twitter feed support now and I'm pretty sure someone ( artosis? tasteless? or just one of the fans? ) will be tweeting about GSL events & games and you'll get the notification!
JulianSidewind - Thanks for the report Julian , PM'ed you and I'll be waiting for a detailed error message if you can get one. At the moment it's like fighting in the dark for me

Thanks for the feedback, sounds great.
It's just such a nice app to use really convenient.

Making great progress over here, the rss is moving along nicely.
For me as a user of ScC the most important new feature is honestly keeping the stream window always on top. So simple yet to important :D
Many things to look forward to and trust me when I say that Tiax is working as hard as he can!
PLEASE keep posting bugs and errors you get. JulianSidewind is a role model!

Could you make a version of ScC thats only the chat? (if its not too much trouble.)
I think it would be more useful to me and other people who don't really watch streams much (or watch it on their browser) and don't really care too much about events and stuff.
Thanks
|
Eleaven - Thanks Eleaven , glad you like it!
Mulu - Irc part ( ScCFloe ) is actually another standalone application , right in ScCalendar/Chat folder ( Floe.exe ). You can directly start the client and connect irc from there if you want. That's actually what ScC does when you click Irc button at the menu , so if all you want is chat ; you'll be fine
Oh and also , i had a few free hours today and made a new style which will be probably used for Rss window. I can also switch the calendar window to this style if you guys think its better , anyway here it is ;
+ Show Spoiler +
Left one is new , clean & works smoother. Got a smaller header and a bigger description area (which we'll need for rss).
Right one is good old calendar window which is used by last release.
I would love to hear what you think about them , which one you like more&prefer and why.
Bnet Theme vs Terran Command Center Theme!

Why don't you make an option to switch btwn b.net theme and terran theme, then when HotS comes out you can add a theme like that and an option for is and same with MotV.

Just quoted myself so people can see the pic...
JulianSidewind - I was planing exactly that , but switching to a skinable style till next release is pretty hard to be honest. Localization of styles will be a pain in the back considering , my current style files are total mess.
I really want to do that for next release tho. Skining and multi language support ( both based on localization etc ) are the 2 big things i have in mind for 1.3.2.

I'll be going to DH tomorrow so you're left alone with Tiax :O
Keep him busy during the next 4 days! Remember, feedback feedback feedback!
Also.. the changelog for 1.3.1 is getting seriously huge. :D

And yea we're taking it slow with 1.3.1 release , just trying to be sure everything is perfect. So you still got a few days for any requests / reports , if there is anything new you want in 1.3.1 , just tell me!
Edit : Also any feedbacks for this design is extremely welcome , as I'm still not sure about it. [Pic]

Thank you tiax;mous, didn't notice! :D
I'd like if you could add an icon to it though.

Mulu - You're welcome! And yea somehow i forgot to add our sc2 icon to that , fixed now
Also still tweaking UI these days , while waiting for some other parts to get done. I changed the main window frame style from green to blue. Now everything is BNet blue , can't decide if it's too blue tho ;

Can you add "The Legacy Observer" to your stream listing?
Ustream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/legacy-observer
Name: The Legacy Observer
Regarding how to add new channels, it might be useful to create a small webapp that allows them to fill out the fields so you can quickly create a list of the basic information you can easily copy/paste... or even create the code automagically that you copy/paste.
Just a thought.
|
LegacyObserver - Hey there , of course I'll add it as soon as possible
Edit : Added , you can find it in ScC Streams after next stream data update ( less than 10 minutes )
Also i just found out my stream service was broken today , after some changes i made early in the morning. I quickly changed some small stuff right before leaving for class but somehow that little stuff manage to break down the whole thing Apologies for the inconvenience , i just fixed the bug so it should be OK now.

This is still down for me =(... it crashes on startup and I tried reinstalling and will not install.
The error is says something along the lines of Can not read the source database
|
Hey, love your app... but it's driving me crazy!
The reason why is this - got addicted to using it on my laptop (4 years old, runs Vista 32) last week since I wan't home, found it on these forums. Got home Sunday, installed on my desktop (i7 built myself, Windows 7 64) and it worked great... until I just rebooted.
Now whenever I try and run it, it crashes giving me a windows crash error saying "StarcraftCalendar has stopped working" and I can only close program. I get the icon that pops up in bottom corner of screen ("Fueling cache disk" or "Excavating data post-processor") and sometimes a black box around that.
I've tried:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling, reinstalling in different locations - in Program Files, Program Files (x86), Users etc.
- creating an "ErrorLog.xml" file and placing it in the folder (as per another user)
- All of the above, rebooting in between each thing, etc
- Checked for .NET updates (have .NET 4 installed)
Any help would be really appreciative, I can't get this to work and absolutely love it.
Edit: If I go into the directory and open up FLOE.exe in the chat directory, that opens up and works fine... but that only allows me to use the quake chat thing, not the parts I enjoy the most. : /
Thanks
|
I had this happen to me too, but only twice when i rebooted, after that it worked fine, i suggest just living normally until it decides to work on it's own. Took me 2 reboots to start working again.
|
n0xi3 , letzgoterps , JulianSidewind - Hmm these all actually sounds like connection problems. If you're using "run on startup" , it may be trying to connect xml services before your OS set up the internet connection , or maybe your firewall is somehow disturbing/preventing the data request&response.
Also letzgoterps , i don't know if you missed it but i sent you a PM. I guess leaving ErrorLog.xml empty doesn't fix it at the moment , you gotta add
<root></root>
into it. Just that one line.
This connection related problems are solved for next version and i even added log4net logging system to ScC which hopefully will help me understand&help your problems much much easier.
I know we're late for 1.3.1 release but i have to wait a chunk of code he's writing at the moment
and s_i_l is terribly busy these days as he's not an unemployed bum like me
We're working as hard as we can tho , have no doubt. And hopefully gonna release it pretty soon (tm).
|
Thanks for this awesome app! No complaints at all, works really well. Keep up the good work.
Apologies if these things have already been mentioned:
I'm getting one minor crash when trying to use the chat feature, when I try and change my username through the interface. Changing my name directly in chat using the /NICK command works just fine however.
As an improvement it would be great to have more customization of how frequent popups appear, perhaps limiting them to only once an hour or so?
|
Great job keeping up with the new streams coming out. Idra and Tyler were on there as soon as I heard they started streaming. Great work.
|
Gotta get Minigun in there! I love watching his stream.
|
Absolutly awsome app. Great job and thank you very much
|
Hey guys , apologies for the kinda late response , i was trying to finish new stream player and streams window so i can post with work-in-progress pics!
eskimofu - Thanks man , glad you like it! I'll look into the chat issue , and yea i also want to put lots and lots of new settings for customization , it'll be much more customizable in new version (1.3.1) no doubt!
JulianSidewind - Thanks Julian , yea I'm doing my best to keep up with new streams!
Wolf - Minigun is there! Look for the title Minigun-Sc
Seikhor - Thanks man glad you like it! It'll get soo much better pretty soon!
It's 6am here and I'm sleepless as hell so I'll try to cut it short. I'll post screenshots and then I can write more about the new features hopefully.
ScC 1.3.1 Work-In-Progress Features
New Streams Window ; I've just started this today , and pretty much done the general outline. Tweaking the details now. With this new design you can easily read the descriptions , handle favorite streams etc much easier. Also you can switch back to old streams window from settings if you want to.
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7562/streams15.jpg) ]
New Stream Player , now this is HUGE. New stream player is 100x times more powerful then the old one. Now we don't have to bear with stupid flash limitations! You can left/right click on video , left click&drag , right click and open context menu , move your mouse at the top part and get the top bar , double click on video to fullscreen and lots of other stuff.
+ Show Spoiler +
And another nice feature is , you don't need to close stream player , open the ScC menu , open streams window , just to switch to another stream now ( which is especially painful when you're watching something fullscreen ) Now you can simply right click and open small "Streams Window" where you can quickly see only streams & switch to whichever you want. You can now just go fullscreen and switch & watch streams all day long!
+ Show Spoiler +
What we can do with our stream player is just limited by what you guys want , so don't hesitate to ask for any other thins you want. I just want to get this , "de facto" stream player for Sc players so if you guys have any requests , I'll do my best to implement it!
When?
Actually it's all pretty much done. We just need to gather up pieces and test for a while and it's good to go! ( soon TM ) Just a few more days , one week at most

I'm going to use a few ideas from other things I've used or seen, that are actually pretty neat or useful IMO.
Notifications suggestion:
Add an option to change the length that event pop ups are up, using odd numbers starting at 1 second, ending at 7 or 9 seconds. Just having the ability to just have really brief pop ups is pretty useful, since 5 seconds is kind of long, especially if you're only skimming.
Calendar:
I'm not exactly sure how all the coding and such works, but I think a really cool feature would be implementing something like 30boxes (online calendar service). If that would be possible, I think that would be really cool to add in.
|
Kitani - Hey Kitani , thanks for the suggestions!
I'll definitely implement those settings , see the old ( the one you currently have ) settings window was too small and it was pretty hard to fit in something there. Now that we have a much bigger settings window , I'll do my best about notification timings , calendar/calendar notifications options , stream player options etc.
I also thought about calendar with boxes before but the problem is , events in TL calendar has pretty looong titles and I'm not sure how useful it can be with only a few words of title / description. I was thinking on something like that new streams window i posted above ; 30 square boxes for events at left side and then the details part at the right side etc. but as I said I'm not sure about the
usability of square boxes for such long titles & descriptions. But guess I have to try and see , I'll probably have some time tonite or this weekend. I'll gather up something and post here for your thoughts
Howl67 - Juuust a few more days
|
That actually sounds a lot like the new Twitter UI, where you can click someone's name on the left hand side where most of the information is, and on the right, there would be an expanded set of info, and older tweets etc. etc.
What 30boxes does is you just click the box, add events and you can edit them and all. For long events, it just does "Partial event name" and you can mouse over it for the full title and details.
I think it would be really cool to integrate a calendar/organizer into your awesome-looking UI and such. Can't wait for updates man.
|
This is great but im trying to get it running! ill message if i get any probs with it, thanks again!
|
SiGurD - Please let me know if you like it or not! Also any suggestions/requets are extremely welcome.
Kitani - I've been working on Calendar window for like 6-8 hours now , tried 2 different designs both based on squarish calendar cells and both failed miserably.
The problem is , there is NO standart for calendar items like title length or description syntax or event count. There can be 2 events or 20 , events may have a 50 char long title or 5. It wouldn't have been a problem if we're using standard style but with Sc2 Style UI , it's pretty hard to make it that flexible.
ie.
Live on 3
2010 Sony Ericsson Global StarCraft II League Season 3: Round of 16 Day 1
I'll keep trying but I'm afraid grid like calendar style won't fit in.
|
Great program, I will definitely use it for stream and checking up on events everyday rather then Team Liquid Calendar(trying to spend less time on TL lol.)
One problem I have with it though is that you cannot click on any links in chat or on bottom of streams. I think that fix would not be that hard.
Thanks for the great program.
|
Barett - I'm glad you like it!
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "link in the bottom of streams" but I'm pretty sure you can double click on links in Irc. ( Or did you meant stream chats? ) Also you should be able to click links put at the bottom of videos ( like subtitles , not sure what they are called ). Hmm need more data
Also quoting a part of my post ( situation report ) at the bottom of last page ;

I see, good to know you'll keep trying though.
Another idea for the calendar, you could leave it as it is, but just add in your own events so they show up like the normal TL calendar events?
|
I just thought of a feature you guys could add as I was using the calendar.
A search function.
So I could jump directly to an event which I would otherwise have to scroll through many events for.
This could work either like a ctrl + f search where it jumps to these events, or a search like in windows where everything disappears except the matching results.
|
Kitani - Yea I work a lot these days , no worries if there's a way to do it , I'll find it
And about personal events , we talked about that with a few friends in the earlier stages of beta and most of the persons said it's kinda out of context. It shouldn't be hard to implement that but it's hardly helpful to the accessibility of community events which is the thing we're concentrating at the moment. But when we're done with the main features , yea sure we can add this asap
JulianSidewind - Hey Julian , well we have a search box in the calendar window if that's what you mean. At the top bar of calendar window? I've improved it a little after 1.3.0 and it'll be better in next version but still should be enough for quick searches.
The problem with searching is , your keyword must be in title or description and for example , there isn't a single "gsl" in gsl events so you can't find them by searching for "gsl". That's kinda impossbile for me to fix tho , as the data comes from TL Calendar that way.
|
LOL I totally didn't notice that search box, even when I was looking to see if there was one. Noob mistake, my bad

Well in the bottom of streams i specifically mean HuK's stream. He has a scrolling bar on the bottom with links to his TL forum and such, and when I click them nothing happens.
And as for chat, yes the Stream Chat you cannot click any links in there either.
I do love this program though. I will be a long time user as long as you keep it running.
I have used it everyday since i found it!
|
JulianSidewind - Haha no worries Keep them coming tho , I love working on user-requested stuff as I KNOW someone will be happy when it's done
Barett - Hmm interestingly , I can click those links and it opens them in another IE but since i never cared & thought about them , it may not be working in different systems.
And I guess you won't like this news but actually those links will be totally out of reach after next version. There will be only video area , no top bar , not even the bottom flash bar ( working on this at the moment ) and the whole area will be used for click&drag the window. ( and of course right-click etc )
Personally I hate interactivity ON video , like livestream links at top etc. They are distracting and you're one misclick away from another web page you probably don't want to go.
Design choices are always the most painful ones when you're working on a community tool as you can never please everyone. I guess I'll pass on those link but I can guarantee you , the new stream player features will make up for it
|
I just made the suggestion because the UI looks amazing, and it may help people use a calendar more often, so they can have their SC2 and do their school too. GL on the calendar, I'll let you know if I have any more ideas.
|
Just wish to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful program :-D
Keep up the great work!
|
Im on Windows 7 and using Google Chrome. If that helps
|
Kitani - Well it was a good one too! It'll be in my To-Do list , right after main features. ( I'm pretty much sold when you said "it may help people use a calendar more often" )
eos - Glad you like it eos!
Barett - Yea probably an IE related issue.
By the way , I added Justin.tv support yesterday. I started working on it the second i heard Catz&Minigun ( and ROOT in general i guess ) switched to Justin.tv , and it's pretty much done but country limits are killing me

Holy shit this is awesome.
Working fine here, windows 7 and chrome.

It indeed looks awesome, no more missed matches for me !

PLS for the mac OSX version. Wud be epic :-)!!!

holy shit batman, nice work!!!

I just wanted to say, this application is freaking amazing. Awesome job.

This is amazing! Thanks for working so hard on it! :D:D:D

Clow , Jakalo , , Baerinho , Bortlett , silencesc - Thanks Guys! Glad you like it.
dwillow - Unfortunately it's kinda impossible to port a .Net application to MacOS
GetGood - Hmm so you're not having connection problems with Irc server , and ScCFloe is handling the problem and reporting the problem ; so the first thing comes to my mind is another application , a firewall for example , is blocking ScCFloe's connection to Irc Server. Can you check that if it's the issue?
|
I like this, but have a suggestion... could this be smaller? I have plenty of resolution but don't really need all the UI elements and text to be readable from 10ft away.

Seems likely but I'm unsure how I would be able to check and/or make exceptions for ScCFloe if that's the issue. I'm running Norton Internet Security 2011. I tried connecting to another port and got another error

it could be nice to be able to manually add the stream of our choice (provided they come from one of the major streaming sites such as Ustream, Livestream, etc.) and have a notification when these get on line.
great program too, I use it all the time
|
I couldnt find is it possible to set an alarm for an upcoming event you really dont want to miss?
|
I hope my stream appears on this! :D
|
AndrewZorn - Aww the fonts are too big right? That's all because of my bad eye sight and obsession with readability.
I'll start working on skinning soon and add an extremely minimalistic skin option right away but I'm afraid i won't have time for it before next release 1.3.1 so we all gotta wait a bit more for it
papaz - The client you currently have , doesn't have Own3d support. We'll have both Own3d and Justin.tv with next release and I'll add bNy's stream right after this post.
CursedFeanor - Well personal stream entries sounds good in theory but the problem is , it will slow down whole ScC a lot and that delay will cause lots of new problems. See , currently you're getting all stream data ( ~300 streams ) by my own xml service , which means roughly 1-2 seconds for 1 http request & 300 streams. But if you add , like 10 personal streams , then you'll have to wait around 15 seconds for 310 streams. And beyond that , 15 seconds waiting time creates many more problems like UI interactivity etc...
tldr ; If you want another stream in , just tell me and I'll add it right away , believe me it's the fastest way possible
Jakalo - Hmm I don't quite get it , you mean you would like another alarm system except notifications?
aka_star - :O Just post the stream link man , I'll add it right away!
GetGood - Unfortunately it's pretty hard to say anything about this , because it doesn't really seems like a problem with ScC but a problem with your system. Also port should be 6667 no matter what , it's the port Irc server is using , not your machine.
|
Just installed, can't believe I didn't see this earlier.
AWESOMEEEEEEEE
|
Only thing I would like is some sorting options on the calendar ... like maybe have a list of dates where you can minimize the events listed under certain dates ... just to reduce scrolling.
Other than that THIS IS PRETTY COOL
|
0mgVitaminE - Thanks man , please also let your friends know about ScC
rocky13 - Actually just yesterday , I implemented the exact same thing , a filter for each day! There are days at the bottom and you can filter events by clicking them etc. I haven't completed the visuals yet tho , I'll post a pic as soon as it's all done

Holy shit this is amazing! I can't believe I didn't see this before today but I find it extremely useful. The only problem I've had, you've responded to already- it crashes when changing the nick in the irc settings menu. (/nick works fine for now) Other than that I love it, major props and I'll be looking forward to future updates.
+ Show Spoiler +Also LOL @ I love SNSD message. <3

thanks for the fast reply
One of the streams I like to watch and that isnt included is SjoW's : http://www.own3d.tv/live/8002
Other things I'd like to see added... Adblock. I don't know if this is possible, but I'm not used to see all those ads while using Firefox and it's really annoying to have them on the streams all the time, having to manually close them and all. If it's something possible, this would clearly increase the quality of the user experience.
It would also be nice to be able to have a stream fullscreen on a monitor and be able to work on the other screen (dual monitors) without loosing focus. I could achieve this in Firefox using Ignopatch (http://deve.loping.net/projects/ignoflash/) and it might be integrated in your program I think since you have access to the source code.
In any case, thanks for the efforts you put in this application!
|
its freaking insane , thanks
|
this is pretty sick haha. I went to the streams section and refreshed it and it told me a stream was online when it wasn't though =/
|
This software is incredible. You need to keep developing software like this.
|
This is so awesome :O
Needs some stream updates though ^^
Like SjoW and IdrA comes to mind.

Yeah, I figured as much. I contacted IT this morning and it turns out they recently closed the connections which is why I thought that connections would still open through other clients. I'm working on getting around this but that's my own problem. Great job with this btw, I don't think I said that to begin with.

Hey everyone!
scintilliaSD - Actually that was supposed to be fixed. When I first implemented stream player , even after I closed the window , it kept playing the sound as you described ; but then fixed it by disposing the stream resources but somehow you still got it eh? Does it always happens or happned for just one time? Or anyone else got this bug?
xBillehx - Thanks man! Unfortunately I can recreate the nick change problem but I fixed some problems with ScCFloe so hopefully that'll help. ScC Irc is a wrapper over Floe Irc ; It's damn powerful but gotta admit I can't control it %100. Still any bugs related with Irc Settings should be fixed now that i changed it all for next version
CursedFeanor - The version you got ( 1.3.0 ) doesn't support Own3d , but you'll have both Justin & Own3d with next version. Also you can block ads with editing host file , and again I put the details in next version but till then you can check This TL Topic
Fullscreen problem is a flash related problem which I can not help. But if you're using Window7 you can always drag the window to the top of your screen and it'll get fullscreened (kinda). You can go back with [1x] Button or Alt+Space.
chukolna - Thanks man , glad you like it
Grobyc - Streams data is refreshed every 10 minutes , so yea if it was last refreshed at 14.10 and then a particular stream gone offline at 14.11 , then you'll see it online for another 9 minutes. Gathering data for ~300 streams takes time but I'm working on that , I may lower that 10 minute timer soon.
GrapeD - Well I'm doing all i can but I also got lots of university related stuff , projects and thesis so it's pretty busy these days Hopefully I'll be done with all those stuff by the end of january , then I'll be able to concentrate much more on ScC.
Piski - Hey Piski , glad you like it. Idra should be there , I added his stream the day he started it , but unfortunately Sjow is using Own3d. We'll have to wait a little longer for Own3d
GetGood - Oh I see , well good luck with it Also thanks!
And I'll post a few work-in-progress pics in a minute!
The new timeline for calendar window , still working on it tho, especially the visuals. It scrolls as you click other days , so yea there is 30 days not just those 5 Also I probably should get fonts smaller and go see a optician..
+ Show Spoiler +
And this is the new stream player , no top bar , no bottom bar , nothing on video area. You can get the top bar ( minimize & close & chat and stuff like that ) by simply hovering your mouse there and you can get bottom flash bar with a toggle button ( from keyboard or top bar ( probably both) , haven't decided yet.

Why can't i maximize the menu? I managed to do it once, but i think it was quite a random occurring. Windows 7 64-bit
EDIT: WOAH! The chat interface is so StarCraftiesque! I LOVE IT! But seriously maximizing the main option bar is really bugged.
|
Usurper - Hmm maximize the menu? I don't get it , you don't mean a full screen menu right?
Also edited my last post and added new pics of calendar window & stream player!
|
Tiax;mous I can't view the menu bar (the one containing Streams, Notifications, Settings, About), unless i click on ScCalendar in my tray bar, wait for it to appear on my quick launch bar, then hover with a mouse over it (for the aero styles to kick in), move my cursor to the small aero style window, right click on that window, and hit maximize.
If there is any other way, please do enlighten me.
P.S. Thanks for this man. I am uninstalling my old IRC client as we speak. Such an impeccable design and vision.
|
Usurper - I'm looking into it , and talked to a friend ( Tnud ) about it and he said he's getting a similar thing when he changes his monitor setup while ScC is running. Like if he turns down the 2nd monitor or changes something in Ati Catalyst settings etc.
So are you using multi-monitor or using Ati Vga? and what happens when you go ScC settings and set the monitor again? ( even if there is just one )
|
I have ATI HD 5850, latest driver, single monitor. I selected //./DISPLAY again from the drop down menu, but it didn't do anything.
|
Usurper - Then I'm afraid I'm not able to say more about it at this moment , I'll investigate the problem tho and fix it asap. Thanks for the report , I'll post here when I find more about the problem & solution.
|
Tiax;mous It just started working, for no reason. LOL! Good luck debugging random occurance. :D

Yes, I mean a system which is like a common alarm clock or calendar reminder where I can browse upcoming tournaments and set an alarm (audible) which goes off when it is about to go off. Is it possible?

We already got the "notify me when this and this event starts" down, adding a sound effect to it shouldn't be hard
EDIT: Like an *add sound notification to this event* button? Yep, very possible. Just need to find a small and catchy tune imho :D
|
Usurper - Ah nice to hear , it's probably the monitor settings taking effect late. Still I'll look into it and hopefully fix till next version.
Jakalo - Oh man that's a pretty nice idea , damn simple and awesome , I don't know how i didn't thought of it before. It would be nice if it plays a custom file , say SNSD with every notification etc. Gotta try that asap , thx for the idea!

Hey, nice app you've written here, I was just wondering if it was possible to include an "Always on top" feature for stream windows? As an avid multitasker I would like to be able to watch a stream while browsing websites.
Otherwise great job!
|
I had some trouble finding the application after installing it, mainly just be being dumb, but maybe include it in the windows startmenu?
But now that i found it! Awesome work m8!! If you keep updating and refining this, i'm sure it will become immensly populair!
|
Speckled Jim - Thanks man! Added "Always on Top" for next release , damn I really have to release it soon , the changelog is HUGE.
Crovea - Didn't Setup created a shortcut on the desktop? Currently it's installed in
C:\Program Files (x86)\brn\ScCalendar\
and yea I added start menu shortcuts (start & uninstall) , it'll be in next version
Also glad you like it and thanks for your kind words!
|
Oh, I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the calendar minimizes me during notifications when I'm in SC2. Almost lost a couple games because of this , is there anyway to fix that?
|
Grobyc - Omg I tested it a lot , just to prevent that and somehow still happening? This is the reason we don't have on-top notifications although everyone is asking for it .
Is it when ScC pops up notifications? And you're using Fullscreen setting (Sc2) right?
You can (and yea maybe should) disable notifications from quick settings in menu ( bottom-left ) but still it shouldn't have happened. I already changed how it works for 1.3.1 but still....

Yeah I'm using fullscreen SC2 setting (not windowed fullscreen). It gives me the notification sound as it minimizes my SC2. I'm using v1.3.0.1 according to the "About" section.
|
Grobyc - Ok actually after your post i just decided to release new version asap. I'm already sitting on loots of new features and no need to keep people waiting for an extra feature or two. I'll probably release the new & much better version in a day , or maybe even tonite if everything goes well...
|
Not working for me. Crashing on startup as soon as the graphic on the bottom right loads. Tried the xml with <root></root>.
|
OK guys, anyone else willing to beta test this version AND has a ATI HD 5850 with the latest 10.11 Catalyst drivers, PM me. There is this issue with maximizing menu bar, that the creators of the program are trying to pin-point.
Thanks and cheers.
|
I continue to use this application, and that sure says something, because I don't usually use new apps for that long, but I've been using this for like a month or more now. IRC looks so good with this, and the streams are very easy to access and look at with their stream chats.
Try this program out if you haven't yet folks.

Wait till you see the version. It's even MORE awesome. Somehow. :p

ScCalendar 1.3.1 is finally here!
Uninstall any previous versions of ScC before installing 1.3.1
Troubleshooting tips:
+ Show Spoiler +* This app NEEDS .net framework 4.0 client profile. Download here. Restart your computer before running ScC.* Run the program as administrator. Especially the chat client Floe! You can do this by checking the box (file properties) in the picture below. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/l5l3z.jpg) The file is located in Program Files\brn\ScCalendar\Chat * Use the old stream player. Some people might have compatibility problems with the new one resulting in black screen or nothing happening when you double-click/play a stream. On December 18 2010 13:14 JulianSidewind wrote:

SeanShepard - Hey there , you may wanna try the new version , lots of errors are fix with this version.
Usurper , Megaman - Thanks for the support guys! Glad you like the new versin :D
And thanks to Tnud for detailed post&screenshots! But I want to clarify somethings ;
-first of all that top bar in stream player is only there is you move your mouse there. No normally it's all just video area.
-Rss will be in soon. We actually have it at the moment but I'm not satisfied with the performance so we decided to release this while I keep working on Rss.
All the populer UI demands from previous version is in this one , BW-Sc2 Event and Date Filters
for calendar , a clear and more readable (descriptions) streams window , FAR FAR better stream player with "always on top" ,volume control with mouse wheel , quick switching streams , brightness & contrast settings ( overkill? lol ) , Justin.tv ( Catz & Minigun & Trump and many more! ) and Own3d Streams...
New Stream Player is the big thing in this version , and I love working on that so if there is anything else you want in the stream player , just let me know.
Enjoy!

JulianSidewind - Hey Julian! To be honest, I totally forgot about those ads while coding new stream player , as I never get them after host file change. So yea as Tnud said you may want to consider Host File changing , you can instructions and an example host file in settings window
marklarmark - Yea that's a problem we're having in some particular systems , you need to run ScCFloe as admin to fix that. If you're using the default path , you can find the exe in ;
C:\Program Files (x86)\brn\ScCalendar\Chat
Right Click -> Properties and there should be an option for "Always run as admin".
Still I'll look into this problem soon , also need some veery little UI improvement here too.

Thx for SC Calendar. It was great job.
|
This is the sickest thing I've ever seen on TL
|
Do you have any plans on implementing a sort/search system in the stream browser? Like being able to search for a particular stream without having to scroll through them all would be sweet, not to mention listing only favorites, etc.
Also, I just got a notification for the Drewbie vs TT1 showmatch, but the calendar told me I broke the app so I don't know if I'm supposed to be able to go directly from there to the stream. Cause that would be neat.

We're definitely looking into sorting streams.. the sc2 stream explosion is really fantastic!
In the beginning we had so few streams that we had problems with the window looking empty lol :D
The problem is that TL doesn't keep track of who's supposed to stream what, you have to set your stream to "I'm streaming this". We don't have that access to that information right now. That the calendar told you "you broke the app" doesn't sound right though.. It should just open the calendar and expand the event. Looking into that.
Tell your friends about this app, keep leaving feedback

I find this useful even though I have TL open whenever my computer is on. The notification system (which can be customized) is great. So many times I've missed the beginning of a StarCraft event because I was watching a movie or was cooking and forget to check how much time I had left. The calender filters are very handy as well - oh, and say for MSL events, it will tell you who is playing in the first game in the notification. Very nice.
The interface for finding and watching streams is great too. Really polished and easy to use. I also like the chat more than mirc and the other programs I've used.

Trying to watch DJ Wheat's stream through it and all I get is a black screen. Is it incompatible?
Edit: All streams are a black screen.

Hey everyone! Oh my God we're spotlighted?! WOHOOOO!! :D
Seele , VonLego - Thanks guys , Glad you like it!
Osmoses - Stream Search should be easy. I never thought it would be needed tho , because offline streams aren't really useful at the moment , as we don't have "stream archive" feature yet . ( And it's all thanks to ustream and their stream info xml service documentation which probably hasn't been updated in this decade.)
Seriously I tried archive thing , but wasn't able to make it work with Ustream and thought it would be lame to say "New Archive Feature ( except Ustream -_- )". Hopefully I will find how to do it tho.
Oh and also about that "you broke the calendar" thingy , unfortunately yes , I also just saw the same thing after a looooong while ( first time since early beta - alpha ). The problem is , TL Calendar Event descriptions hardly have any standarts&format so although it may look like I just pull the Calendar Xml and put the description there ; that's probably the hardest part of ScC ever.
And when my god awful parser fails , it shows that stupid text ( which i don't even remember , it still exists , sorry )
I probably rewrite that parser soon.
Osmoses - "When mouse is not over" is a little hard in the environment I'm currently working in , but yea that probably would be the most elegant & prefered behaviour for the menu. I'll look into that soon , but till then fade away timer & always open settings will hopefully be enough.
synapse - Thanks man , let us know if you like it!
Xxio - Thanks Xxio, Glad you like it! I'm really doing my best , and hopefully it'll get much better , much faster when I'm done with my exams&thesis by the end of january. Then it'll be 7/24 ScC coding
Tevinhead - There are 2 possible causes for this ;
1) You don't have Flash Player for IE installed. And yes it's different than Flash Player for other browsers so you need to run IE and install the player there. Basically our Stream Player is based on an IE browser so it won't run without IE Flash Player. This is a comman problem as no one uses IE these days thus don't have IE Flash Player.
2) It's a rare occurrence but sometimes our new player just doesn't work in some systems. I'm currently looking into it but unfortunately there is a possibility it's a problem beyond my reach. Till then you can use the old but still pretty useful stream player , which you can activate from Settings -> General tab.
Now I should go back to coding , there are bugs to fix , errors to handle and features to add!
Please let us know what you think about ScC and PLEASE let your friends know about ScC. We're a pretty small team after all and all concentrated on code so it's pretty hard for us to spread the word. Thanks in advance!

I think the problems with the Floe chat are related to the fact that all it's configuration files are stored in the Program Files directory which is read only on newer versions of MS Windows. I would really like a modification for keeping the config files in the %APPDATA% directory.
All in all a nice app. I miss the 'event in the next hours, minutes format' is it possible to get the time remaining for an event instead of the specific hour it starts without reverting to the old style of the event window?
|
mulander - Oh you're totally right about config issue , haven't tried yet but you're right about writing program files so yea that should be the problem. Can't believe how i forgot that , I just wanted to keep everything in one place so users can easily find whatever they are looking for and edit by hand if needed etc. Should fix that soon...
And of course I can put old format back in , and to be honest I wasn't even noticed i changed that. I just thought it would be better if users can see the hours etc in calendar so they can schedule their day easily. I mean , you can now easily say "Oh i got 2 hours after EventX and before EventY so maybe I should go out for a lunch at that time" with current style.
But sure , i can put the old timer back in event description part , along side Date of event.
Thanks for the feedback mulander!

Please take timezones into consideration if you want to leave the new format alongside the old one. Currently the new format informs me that the next event is at 05:00 (that's 5 am) but my local time is 10 am at the moment. This makes it completely useless and confusing for me and probably other people that prefer to schedule events based on their local time.
|
This is incredible. The level of integration you've achieved here is astounding. Thank you so much for this!
|
mulander - Whaaat ? Oh my God it should be converted to your current time zone is it not? I'll check the code right away , normally every DateTime should be converted from Korean Time Zone ( TL Calendar based on it ) to User's Current Time Zone , and of course if it's a big bug if it's not. Currently my client works as intended but I'll go check the code now...
Atticus.axl - Thanks man , glad you like it!

Now that you mentioned it I double checked.
The Go4SC2 #65 was properly converted from 22:00 KST to 14:00 CET. The thing that made me think the conversion was bad are the event from the Shinan Bank Proleague and Gosucoaching show match that are scheduled for 05:00 am and 06:00 am in the app but not marked as finished.
|
mulander - Oh man you gave me a small heart attack there , I'm very excitable when it comes to ScC errors ( Especially breaking ones like this ).
"Finished" thingy is based on TL calendar , it pretty accurate in general , but not always ( when mods are asleep probably? ). Since I have no chance to know if an event is finished or still going on ( some are 30 minute events , some are 3 hours ; and I don't wanna label a 3 Hour long event as "Finished" after only 30 minutes into it ) , I decided to stick with Tl Calendar's judgement , and yea it's not %100 accurate all the time.
|
found a bug, if you turn down contrast, the treamers goes opaque
|
Grend - Yea I'm aware of that , it's probably a bad written pixel shader or my bad implementation. Gotta admit i dont know much about pixel shaders as it's a whole different specialty. Buuut I decided to act like a pro and leave it as it is and call it a feature , instead of a bug :D
Joking aside , I'll try to implement much more pixel shader effects in future ( and implement them better ) to improve video quality , for now there is just those 2 and yea implementation isn't perfect. ( till then , can we act like we got 3 effects , brightness&contrast&opacity there? :D )

Doesn't work for me
I'm using an msi gx660r laptop and when i start it, it pops up on my taskbar. I can hear it making noises but the window doesnt pop up. If i hover my mouse over it on the taskbar, i can see the preview of it and it seems to be working fine, but if i click it it doesnt open. Then after a little bit it disappears from the taskbar and it appears as one of the little icons on the bottom right of the task bar. Clicking that doesn't do anything but bring it back to the main taskbar space with the same problem as before
windows 7

pzea469 - Hmm , can you tell me what happens when you right click ScC in taskbar and select maximize? Also I guess you have an Ati GPU and a single monitor right? It sounds like the problem , one of our friends had before. It seems like a placement issue but haven't been able to solve it yet. I'm on it tho. Thanks for the report!
|
Yes ati. Well when i right click it nothing happens, theres no option to maximize. Also i can't close it regularly either so i have to use the task manager to end the process. Glad to know ur on it, it looks great.
|
pzea469 - Unfortunately it's pretty hard to fix a bug that i can't recreate and work on but i'll do my best
|
Source for this background please.

Wow this is SOOO AWESOME. Thanks a lot for this app!
However i can't find a way to mute stream 
|
Is it possible to close google ads in streams? I couldn't click the close-button.
|
noproblem - Tnud took those screenshot so he'll probably help you with that soon Ok I just remembered Tnud sent me that wallpaper before so here it is.
Kaniol - You can use mousewheel to control volume ( this is app-wise volume control ) but indeed it doesn't totally mute it even at 0. A stupid little "round" function messing that up and somehow i missed it while testing. Of course I'll fix that and probably add an extra button for mute in next version but till then you can use Flash Volume Control ( Press T or Toggle icon from top right to Toggle Flash Interactivity ).
Oh actually the Application Sound Slider in Settings should also be able to totally mute stream sounds too. But this ( and mousewheel ) also mutes notifications so be careful

I think this is mentioned in the first post under settings and removing ads. =b
Also, where is the like button because this is so awesome. Mad props and much thanks for the amazing app! Keep up the good work. =D
|
Popping back in to let you know the notifications are awesome, but I'd prefer it if the menu didn't come up after each one
|
I'm having a problem with the "run at windows startup" option. I change it to run, click apply. Then when I go back to settings, it's changed back to not run. Also, I agree with a previous suggestion of sorting streams(Osmoses). I switched to old interface because all online ones are grouped together. Changing this one thing alone and having all online at the top would make it much better to manage. Also, having a restore button on the stream window to go back to original size would be awesome so that you don't have to right click to bring it down. (This took me like 3 days to find and I was like OHHHHHH )
Edit: oh also, will the "new update" button change colour when there is a new version or something? Or will it be there/look the same all the time?
|
slmw - You can Toggle Flash Interactivity ( T or the icon at top right ) and close it OR edit your host file to get rid of them once and for all! Although I'm not a fan of totally blocking the ads , ad spams doesnt leave us much choice
Arefel - Thanks man! Glad you like it
Osmoses - Thanks! I don't know if i got that wrong but you shouldn't get menu after notifications unles you selected "Always Keep Menu Open" in the settings. Then of course it pops up menu right after notifications. Or maybe you found a new bug! Need more data tho , please tell me more about it!
JulianSidewind - I just checked the run at startup settings and yea it's bugged as you said. But I'm pretty sure it's just an UI bug , so it should work as intended when you select one and click "Apply".
About streams window , guess I should explain what's going on a bit. Actually new streams window is working on a much much more elegant & better & powerful system compared to old streams window but at the moment it's just not really polished to reach it's full potential.
Now , actually new streams window also keeps online streams to top. The problem is , old streams window only refreshes streams data when you click refresh button , meanwhile new streams window refreshes data every 2 minutes. But auto update working at the background doesnt re order the list like manual update does. So 30 minutes ( 15 auto updates ) after your last manual update , lots of streams go online/offline etc and the list looks mixed which is pretty dumb¬ intended as you said. So all you gotta do is clicking refresh and it'll re order everything in the list , and i'll fix auto update ordering asap
At the moment stream order in new streams window goes like this ; online streams -> favorite streams -> featured streams -> Viewer count ->Title ( alphabetically ).
So when you click refresh once , it'll bring favorite online streams at top , then featured online streams , then just online ones , then offline favorites , then offline featured etc..
I moved "restore size" to context menu because the top right part was getting stacked with icons. I thought it was pretty visible in context menu tho Also you know you can fullscreen and back with double click , so who needs "restore size" anyway
Edit : Also you shouldn't be able to see New Version button at the moment Julian , how did you (or how did I lol )even managed to do that :D Or did i get it wrong? Normally it shouldn't appear in menu at the moment and only appear above settings button when there is a new version.
|
@pzea469
The correct work-around for the time being is, hover the mouse over the SCC icon in taskbar, preview window will appear and then - right click THE PREVIEWED WINDOW, then Maximize.
EDIT: I am Zealot. \m/

Basically I'm watching the EG Masters right now and whenever I get a notification the menu comes up as well, and then I have to right click it to make it go away :3
Also, the full screen ads are killing me.

For now you can toggle notifications on/off with the icon to the left on the menu until we figure out what is going on. I THINK Tiax fcked up and always brings the menu back up if you have it set to "keep up until rightclick" regardless if it was open before or not.. You can prob just change the setting back to "disappear after X seconds" to fix this.
I strongly recomend doing the host file edit to fix the ads.
Options > windows. This requires a restart of ScC or maybe even a restart of your PC. My hosts file is included.
EDIT: Usurper darting in as extra help :D Thanks

In Russia there are two popular site about Starcraft 2:
goodgame.ru
sc2tv.ru
For us, there stream players such as Bratok, Dimaga, Strelok
If you suddenly add Announce their streams into the program it will certainly increase the number of Russian users of this program.
Russian language support will also not superfluous, but it is not necessary I think.
Yes, I found this thread on the Russian forum: forum.sc2tv.ru, all users in this forum leave positive feedback.

I approve of this app :3 it's amazing, someone give this guy a medal!

it works fine, but for some reason the menu window hides in the right-bottom side of the screen
![[image loading]](http://s006.radikal.ru/i213/1012/85/6f11040438a7.jpg)
windows 7x32
oh, it's ok - setting minimal font for windows fixed it
author must have a barrel of free internets!!!

Love it so far, especially the ability to fullscreen streams and force them to stay on top, especially nice with dual monitors. I would love the ability to open youtube videos in it too
One problem I do have is that fullscreening a stream results in massive CPU load.
Watching EG Masters, I can play it fine in Firefox or IE and fullscreen it with no issues (including fullscreen), and I can watch it with SCC in a small window with no issues (CPU load <25%), but when I fullscreen or enlarge the SCC video window CPU use hits 50% (quad core processor, so 2 cores being fully used, Core 2 Quad at 3GHz) and it drops a lot of frames, so that it's noticeably laggy.
|
Usurper - Thanks for the help Usurper , and gratz for you Zealot! ( guess I'm also close to zealot eh? )
Osmoses - You can handle adds in two ways as Tnud described. Shouldn't be a problem after host file thingy
Tertyshny - Thanks man , glad you like it! I would LOVE to add Russian , Korean , Chinese streams in , but it's pretty hard for me to find my way in Russian , Korean , Chinese web sites so frankly , I didn't even know those players had streams that are not listed in TL User Streams. If you guys can provide me the links of streams you want , I'll add them as soon as possible.
Valashu - Thanks man! No need a medal , just please help us spread the world as much as you can , download numbers and happy users are a big enough medal for me
xerurg - Oh OS font settings affecting the menu placement? That's weird , and i definitely gotta check that out , thanks!
Lonyo -Hopefully we'll have some kind of youtube support with Rss , I just wasn't happy with the rss performance so didn't wanted to release it half baked.
That much of a CPU usage is unexpected tho. It hangs around %20-25 on my computer with fullscreen but still... Actually it's just a maximized browser , so nothing special going on at the background ; guess i should check out the cpu usage of flash player first. I'll look into and fix it as much as I can , thanks!
Edit : I just fixed the "New Update" button problem , it seems i forgot to change version file in the server so ScC still thought there is a newer version etc. Thanks Julian! ( yet again , man you're an awesome tester&user )
|
Tiax;mous - I confirm that font size solution. I switched to small (default) from large, and what do you know... both loading screen, notifications AND the menu appear in the lower right corner. :D
I would like to have font size on large so please look into it, after all.
Cheers and thanks once again for everything.
|
Usurper - Yeay I fixed that , a little more harder than I thought but fixed nevertheless. Give me a few more days tho , after I fix a few more little bugs etc I'll probably release a little new version
|
Your "Zealot" post dedicated to me. <3 :D
|
The update bar disappeared, and I see what you mean by sorting streams by refreshing, works great now, but the run on startup option is still funky. If it changes, I'll edit this post saying it fixed.

Usurper - Yay zealot! :D
JulianSidewind - I'll fix that too , no worries. But it should be working normally and starting at windows startup when you choose it right?
noproblem - You're welcome!
It was an extremely tiring day so I won't be able to code much tonight , but already fixed some stuff;
-Map names in BroodWar events fixed
-Fixed some certain event descriptions causing errors ( "you broke scc" error )
-Fixed the scroll issue in calendar window ( at the moment it doesn't scroll when you mouse is over an event description)
-Fixed the auto update messing the list in streams window
-Count down timer added to event descriptiopns ( like ; "x hours y minutes to this event" )
-As I said in my previous post , fixed the 125 & 150 Dpi problems ( aka "medium&big font size" in windows screen settings )
-Also fixed the version files in the server so you won't get "New Update" button till there really is one.

@Userper
Thanks for the help, but it doesn't work for me. It does bring the window up and i can click things, but after 3 seconds it goes away again. If i click settings, the settings will stay open until i get out of it. But yeah, thanks for the help.

The program is so awesome, thank you very much Tiax;mous.

implement ad blocker plus and im hooked.

I just set the option and restarted and it worked. I don't know why it wasn't working earlier :S

when I try opening the program I get an icon in my taskbar and in my system tray but both of them don't do anything. I might be doing something wrong?

Hey, I can't close ads in the stream player. (ustream)
Also, why can't I put the chat tabs on the top like I could in previous versions? Did I just miss it or something? Its probably there and I just don't notice.. >_<
Also, will ScC have an update option or do we have to redo settings every time theres an update?
Lastly, could you make the order of chat servers be changeable (without having to redo everything)? Like say I want to make TeamLiquid irc the first one and something else second, ect.
Sorry for my overuse of also.
Thank you for this great program of course!
edit: An option to rename streams would be cool too, maybe to the players name instead of.. like Liquid'HuK could be HuK. I mean I don't have any real use for it, but I think it would be nice, I'm sure somebody would like it.
|
pzea469 - Still it is the Windows Font Size problem right? Can you please check that out? It should be somewhere like Right Click Desktop ->Personalize->Display , and ther should be 2 choices %100 - %125 - %150. The version you have should work as intended with %100 ( default ) but no with other options. If this is your problem , as i said it's already fixed for next version.
Tich - Thanks man! Glad you like it.
theriv - Technically , our stream player is based on IE and unfortunately there isn't a good ad blocker for IE. But there is always , host file editing , check the Settings -> Windows tab
JulianSidewind - Yea that dropbox is glitching , will fix that soon
MeSiaH - This also sounds like the DPI ( Widows Font Size or whatever it's called ( actually doesn't have a name under window settings )) problem. Can you please check ,
Right Click Desktop ->Personalize->Display and "Set Custom Font Size". %125 and %150 is messing up our positioning at the moment. I probably should release a small new version soon as lots of people having this problem.
Mulu - You can toggle Flash Interactivity ( T or icon at top right ) and close OR can edit host file and save yourself from trouble once and for all
Chat tab had "always on top" in previous version? Hmm I don't remember that , gotta check tho lol. Or maybe i misunderstood you?
Well we don't have an import&export settings yet , as we don't have too many complicated settings. But I guess you should be able to copy&paste config files before&after uninstalling by hand and keep your settings , haven't tried yet tho , gotta look into it.
I'll see what I can do about server ordering , but till then you should be able to change t by hand from ScCFloe.config file in ScCalendar/Chat folder. You can see there are "Server" tags under Settings etc. I'm not sure why would you need it tho , can you explain that a little?
Changing stream names could be troubling. It'll be hard to keep it considering you'll get the original name from XML every 10 minutes and I'll have to find&match old name & new name etc. Technically of course I can , but I'm not sure if it worths the risk ( introducing new bugs etc )
And thanks! Mulu!

Alarm clock for upcoming tournaments didnt make it in this version?

OP THIS PROGRAM IS FUCKING AMAZING, THAT IS ALL.

How i watch whenever HuK and IdrA get paired with each other:
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/EVsXY.jpg)

Very cool program! I appreciate this from both a convenience standpoint as well as an interface and usability standpoint. It shows a real attention to detail and tons of thought
My one concern is that my task manager shows it's using a lot of ram when simply idle in the background - almost as much ram as firefox with 10 open tabs. I'm on windows 7 64 bit with the latest version of sccalendar. Any thoughts?
|
MelnaisKrauklis - Uh alarm clock? If you mean the notifications , they should be working same as before , other than that we never had any alarm thingy. Notifications aren't working for you?
eveo - Thanks man , glad you like it!
Usurper - Haha nice idea Usurper , how did you manage to have 2 stream players with top bar open , that beats me tho o0 Autohide isn't bugged or something right?
m-ray - Thanks man! ScC is easily not a light weight application but still it shouldn't be that bad. Can you tell me more about it ? For example after how many hours and with how many stream players on , you're having that much memory usage etc. Thanks in advance
|
Well, Tiax;mous, when you first open chat and you right click and then press connect it has the different servers in the order they are added to the list. I think putting them in order of importance would make it much easier to click the one you want, or just make it look better. (Maybe I'm just being way too picky! ) I also re-ordered by hand, was fairly simple, thanks!
By chat tabs on top I'm talking about all the tabs you put up in the chat to connect to an IRC, like the server tab, ect. In the version I last had (from a while back, I always forget to update stuff ) I could put them on the top and still type messages on the bottom, it felt much more clean than when its on bottom, in my opinion.
If I turn off notifications will I still be notified when my favorite stream comes on line? Since I don't want event notifications, are the stream notifications considered different? I haven't tested it to see, but I guess theres no reason not to ask. :D
Thanks again!
|
thanks turning my display to 100% worked
oh did I mention that this program is awesome? :D
|
Hey Guys !
This app is sooooooo awesome ! oO !
Your are so ballers...
Thank you so much !
|
MeSiaH , RaistlinZrg - Thanks guys , I'm glad you like it!
Mulu - Oh I see , Ok I'll see what I can do about server listing but gotta admit (and as you can guess ) , it's not that high in our to-do list
And yea i took out tab positioning for some reason o0 Can't even remember now tho , so guess I can put it back in...
Hmm I guess turning notifications off blocks them all but yea probably it's better to ahve an option for each feature , calendar & streams ( and rss in future ). We already have one for streams , can't block just calendar events tho.
|
Okay Thanks.
|
Wow the new 1.3.1 is amazing. Fixed alot of the things I had problems with.
Great great great job man.
Its so great I cannot stop saying GREAT!
Glad you got a shout out on TL's Twitter, you deserve it.
|
Oh, wow. I also forgot to mention.. this version makes my volume on my computer go up all the way when I start it. Is that normal? Any way to turn it off?
|
Barett - Glad you like it Barett , and thanks for your kind words! And about TL's twitter , I already thanked in private but it doesn't hurt to thank again in public ;
Thanks JWD , for that Tweet which was the first big publicity we had. It was a huge boost for ScC and our moral.
Also Thanks Xxio and some other mods that I don't know , for putting our thread in "Spotlight"!
Mulu - Oh it's not normal especially if you're using Vista/7 , but it's also not that surprising if you're using XP as I didn't had much time to test it on XP. Currently our sounds settings are using some Vista/7 compatible code and yea they may not be working as intended in XP.
Can you give me details about your OS , then I can fix that as soon as possible. It sounds like a big problem......get it? Sounds like big hahaha yea ok I bettert shut up and go back to coding
|
We've found a strange... bug?
There is some kind of problem with the memory management of the streams window. When you close it still takes up a bit memory.
However, if you close the streams window and open + close settings it resets back to "normal" levels. We have no idea how or why this is happening but it is
(C# has an automated memory management so this really shoudn't be happening)
If you are on a low memory system you might consider using this "fix" until we figure out exactly what's wrong, although the C# garbage collector should kick in and clear this memory right up if it's needed by the system.

I love it! but are the streams taken from the TL list? o.O cause qxc's stream doesnt show T_T
|
Juliette - Oh God , thanks to your post I just noticed my server was down for last 5-6 hours , I've been coding for hours now so I didn't even noticed that.
Apologies for the inconvenience , I fixed it already , should be working as intended now. And yea qxc's stream is also there.
We really need a better server & server side code. I'll definitely look into that after rss ( which is going pretty good btw)
Mulu - Oh as i guessed it's XP , I'll fix this as soon as possible , Rss feature is going better then I expected so I'll release them all instead of a hotfix.
Again apologies for stream server stuff , if you ever notice streams data is extremely old ( there is a time label at the bottom of streams window ) ; please post and let me know and I'll fix it asap.
|
hmmm when i try to play a stream within the program it just shows a black screen. If i try to switch that to a different stream it shows a loading screen but just stays on that. Launching to the external browser works fine. I've tried toggling the flash interface. Any ideas?
|
SultanVinegar - You probably don't have IE Flash Player , so please check that first. IE Flash Player is different than FireFox/Chrome/Opera Flash Player so it's easy to forget that. Just lunch you IE and install flash player again and it should solve it.
If that's not the issue also there is a rare occasion , where our new player doesn't work in some systems for some reason. Then all you can do is to switch to old player from Settings-General tab.
In the other news , I've almost finished the RSS with pretty good performance ( loading 8 rss under 5 seconds at the moment , down from 20+ seconds). It also supports Twitter and YouTube Channel Rss and Blip Rss ( aka. Day9 Rss ). Also you can watch YouTube videos in our new player and Blip Video's in our old player ( Blip player is acting very weird and they have ad's in different locations (like top right >< ) which makes it hard to watch with new player.)
Also I've been working on memory usage all day long , and I can say next version will use way less memory and work much faster.
|
Holy cow... This makes the nerd in me very, very jolly!
|
much appreciated app, thank you for the work
|
That is so awesome. Testing now and liking a lot. Grats for all the effort. Spreading the word =)
|
yess thank you
how long does it take for the streams list to update with a new stream that's just been put up?
|
Chewie , anatem , r3z3nd3 - Glad you lie it guys! And yes please spread the word , that's one thing we really need at the moment!
Juliette - Streams Data refreshed every 10 minutes , so at worst , you'll miss the first 9-11 minutes of a stream.
But to be perfectly honest ; I really hate our server side code as it's not %100 stable and crashes time to time. I'll rewrite it all as soon as possible , probably right after my exams & thesis.
I've been working on Rss and memory usage for a few days now. I manage to lower the memory usage a lot , especially for streams window. It's hard to put in words tho , tldr; next version will be much lighter compared to 1.3.1b.
Rss feature is all done and I'm testing it now , rss , twitter and youtube is working smoothly. ( still having problems with blip video's tho , as i mentioned before. At worst , you'll play it in our old stream player on link the link to go to the blip's website ). Here is a screen ( visuals are still wip ) ;
+ Show Spoiler +

So I've installed, but when I load the program I have no window. It's running in Windows Task Manager, it shows up as an icon in the bottom right, but no window. Clicking (left and right clicks) on the bottom right-hand side icon pulls up the task bar icon as if the window is open, but nothing ever appears. After a period of 5-8 seconds, the task bar icon disappears.
Right clicking the bottom right icon opens no context menu, and right clicking the task bar only offers the option of pinning, closing, or selecting the window. That also means I have no direct way of shutting the app down other than through the Windows Task Manager.
I'm Windows 7 x64, I have .NET 4.0 for both x64 and x32. I should also note I'm on a dual monitor setup and wondering if it's having troubles deciding which to show the primary window on.
I apologize if this came up before, I paged through a few of the pages on this thread but did not have a chance to page through them all. Any ideas?

chuckg - It sounds like the dpi problem reported before. Can you please check ;
Right Click Desktop ->Personalize->Display and "Set Custom Font Size"
the version you have is only compatible with 96 dpi ( %100 ) not with 124&146 ( %125 & %150 ). I've already fixed this bug for the next version so I'm planing not to release it soon ( at least not this week ) Or maybe I should? Hmm , just let me know if dpi is really the problem you're having and if you're not OK with using 96dpi ; I'l try to arrange something
pzea469 - Oh I'm glad that worked , now that you can use ScC properly , let me know if you like it or not
Don't hesitate to post guys , I don't want to act like an annoying girlfriend who always wants to hear she's pretty , but statistics ( from codeplex ) & happy users are the only things keep me ( and every other open source free application I guess) going , so please , post
|
Tiax, it was definitely the DPI issue. I'm on a 32inch HDTV as a primary monitor, so scaling up the DPI is a must for me. But, please, don't change your release schedule. I'm perfectly happy waiting till you get the next release out, I know how annoying it can be to patch in changes across multiple versions. The option to change the DPI is also found in Personalize->Display, which is titled "Make it easier to read what's on your screen" - Medium (125%) and Large (150%) effect the DPI settings directly (but are written in dumb so the rest of us understand it).
I've spent the last 15 minutes clicking around the app and, holy fuck, keep up the amazing work.
A quick bug concerning dual monitor display: If you full screen, the "shared edge" (ie: where you move your mouse from one monitor to the next) of the monitor currently *not* displaying the stream/video shows about 2-4 pixels of the blue border typically surrounding the window. What it looks like you're doing is expanding the window's borders out of the display area and not dropping them and, as a result, it's showing on the edges of the second monitor. Hope that explains it well enough.
|
hey guys. struggling to get the player to work. encountering blank screens as some have done in the past. installed flash for iexplorer and that went off without a hitch but still encountering the same issues. sorry if i missed a solution previously posted, any advice?
|
chuckg - Oh good to hear it's just DPI problem , as I said I won't release next version this week but maybe I can get you ( and some other volunteers ) a beta (of beta ) of the next version before release so we can test bug fixes and rss etc. I'm extremely busy these days tho , thesis & exams etc , it's going pretty slow at the moment
And about that border issue , shouldn't be hard to fix it , I'll look into it asap , thanks for the report!
rivallen - There is a rare issue where , our new stream player doesn't work in some systems. So please switch to old player ( from settings , uncheck "use new player" ) and try to use old player. If it's working ; then it means that you're getting that bug with new player , which I haven't been able to solve yet I'm still looking into it tho , also can you please post your OS / Ram / Cpu / IE version ?
|
hey there, thank you for the quick reply!
switching to the old player did in fact work. my specs are as follows:
OS: win 7 64 bit
RAM: 6 gig corsair xms 1600mhz
CPU: i7 920
IE version: 8.0.7600.16385
hope some of the info might help you out. saw they released a beta of iexplore 9, will try installing and see if there is any change, as that is the only thing i really have control of.
edit: no difference with newer ie version.
|
rivallen - IE version shouldn't cause such a bug , it's probably something related to the 3rd party browser (which is also built on IE but still ). It's extremely powerful ( brightness&contrast and all kind of pixel shaders , skewing / rotating (1-3-4-6-7-9 in numpad) etc. ) but unfortunately it's not extremely stable. I'll still look into it , at least I gotta be sure that it's not the ScC code causing that problem. Thanks for the report !
|
aah i see. sigh, i would be the exception to the rule! ><
but again thank you for the work you have done. it is a really useful tool and i am very appreciative of your efforts.
good luck with further releases!
|
my only dissapointment... it doesn't come with the hot asian chick in the background T_T
|
rivallen - Thanks man , hopefully I'll fix that player bug too as soon as possible , no user should left behind
Zuan19 - Yea everyone is asking about her , maybe we should add that to setup or something I've posted a link for full version of it a few pages ago, if you missed.
I've been working on memory issue for last few days , I've look into every part except player and it's much better now. Player is still using a lot of memory but that's inevitable I'm afraid. But when it's working at the background ( where you need it to use less memory ) , it'll work much better&faster&lighter.

I'm looking for starcraft 2 cursors for use in windows.
Started this program and these were epic! Could you make a separate upload for just the cursors?

ScCalendar 1.4.0 is released!
Uninstall any previous versions of ScC before installing 1.4.0
Troubleshooting tips:
+ Show Spoiler +* This app NEEDS .net framework 4.0 client profile. Download here. Restart your computer before running ScC.* Use the old (not bnet style) stream player. Some people might have compatibility problems with the new one resulting in black screen or nothing happening when you double-click/play a stream. * If you're using old player (and possibly new) download flash for Internet Explorer. Yes I know. This will fix any issues with the flash player not loading. * Run the program as administrator. Especially the chat client Floe! You can do this by checking the box (file properties) in the picture below. The program files are located in Program Files\brn\ScCalendar\ and its subfolders On December 18 2010 13:14 JulianSidewind wrote:
I find I am unable to click the little x on the popup ads on the streaming windows and I have to wait for them to lower on their own. * We have an option active by default that puts a "window" over the player to stop the flash interface from activating (notice no control bar). You can toggle this with the third button from the right in the auto-hide top bar of the window (dishwasher/window icon). That will make it accessible to you. On a side note I suggest you do the hosts file edit, options > streams. This requires a restart of ScC or maybe even a restart of your PC. My hosts file is included as an example and is perfectly usable on all systems. * If all else fails please post in this topic OR use the feedback form OR contact someone who has the [ScC] tag in #teamliquid.
What's new
Rss!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/kAWhr.jpg)
Rss also means blip.tv, youtube and twitter. We also added a search feature (here searching for day9 content.)
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/2V9qq.jpg)
Youtube support through rss!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/MQnSH.jpg)
New notifications!
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/1Tfyi.jpg)
Changelog:
+ Show Spoiler +1.4.0 Changelog: * Added RSS support (and fixed all the bugs that came with it) * Added a simple way to follow a twitter account (twitter name) * Added a preview tab to the rss to follow the update process. * Added open Youtube videos in player (from RSS), this might get extended into a general youtube player in the future. * Added new notifications style! * Seperated new player process from ScCalendar main app. * This comes with the benefit that now scroll volume controls individual stream sound, not entire application. * Fixed an issue with the own3d overlay staying/not showing where it’s supposed to. * Fixed an issue that caused a permanent “loading..” screen if you tried to stream switch to the stream you’re on. * Fixed an issue where the stream chat would only open once (if you closed it you couldn’t open it again) * Fixed an issue with the bar on old player, pixel perfection and tooltips added * Fixed an issue where a different dpi then normal would misplace the menu and notifications * Fixed an issue with some settings not saving properly * Optimised code * Optimised server bandwidth usage, this really will not affect the end user.
Please use the feedback button (menu, bottom right next to close) for any issues AND stream requests. We’re currently in a phase where everyone is switching stream provider so bare with us.

SirDawid - You can find the cursor set we're using here
Somehow I forgot to add it to "About" window as a credit , my bad , I keep forgetting stuff like that. Thanks and Kudos to Darc1n for awesome cursors!
chuckg & Usurper & many others had DPI related issues - ScC is now compatible with 120&144 dpi. Enjoy!
Also a little note for 1.4.0 , we haven't updated the "new version notifier" yet. I thought it would be better to have a few feedback before announcing it through ScC. Please let us know if you like it , if it's working fine etc.
|
Tiax;mous I actually am sticking to default icon/font size... can't fathom why I've changed to large in the first place, but nevermind that...good bug is a dead bug. :p The few subtle changes are looking great, and i definitely feel a much faster response time from the menu, probably due to your memory management thing you were working on.
Glad you and Tnud are still doing this, cause it's a wonderful tool that will be useful for times to come.
Cheers, and stop by @ IRC from time to time, to vent on how hard your university thesis is. :p
|
Something a few people seem to be missing is that you can actually customise what icons are visible in the notification area.
Just right click the taskbar select properties and click customize (xp/vista/win7)
I only have ScC, speedfan and my network icon always visible for a clean look.
Please enjoy 1.4.0 and don't hold back posting in this topic ^.^
@Usurper, thanks for your feedback!
|
Usurper - Hey Usurper! Glad you like the new version! We're doing all we can but now that we released this version , I got my exams starting tomorrow so gotta take a short break from ScC And don't even get me started about thesis haha
And by the way , I somehow believe Brightness & Contrast Settings in player is an extremely overlooked featured. SO I took a few screenshot to show you how you can fix , painfully dark streams ( which is veeery common )
+ Show Spoiler +
As far as I remember these screen taken with 0.03 Brightness and 0.28 Contrast Settings. There isn't one ultimate brightness&contrast setting which is always better than the original. It depends on the stream quality and numbers may change for every stream but just remember that you can tweak brightness & colors in a few seconds and probably got a much better stream easily.
You can play with it from Context Menu ( Right Click on Player Area ) -> Player Settings -> Brightness & Contrast Sliders.
Unfortunately these effects ( pixel shaders ) aren't even professional stuff either , so I'll probably improve them and add much more in the future. Enjoy!
|
Tiax;mous - I'm already using that pack actually! Strangely enough, my own cursors are alot bigger, which doesn't look that good imo. Any tip on how to resize them? Other than edit all of them one by one in some .cur program :\
Now i actually realized there are smaller ones, 24px, thank's for making me recheck the folders x)
|
SirDawid - Oh cool , I really should have put a note about darc1n in "about window" but somehow forgot that. I really don't want to take credit for other peoples work
|
Tiax;mous - Got my cursors up, looks great now! ;D
But hey, BUG REPORT: The Rss-window is not closing. The [x]-button isn't responding to clicks. It's possible to minimize though, but the only way to really close it is to right-click the correct window in the taskbar and close it from there.
Also, a question. When uninstalling an older version so that i may install the newer, is there any way to save my settings in between the two versions? For example, I have a certain font in IRC, custom timers on notifications, etc. What can i do to easily apply the same setting on the newer install?
HF composing a nice answer =P
|
SirDawid - Uh can't close a window ? Now THAT is weird. The code behind that [x] button is so straight forward that i can not even imagine why/how would such a thing happen. I'll say "I'll look into it" but there isn't much to look into in this one
Can you give more information about it please , when does it happen? Always? Even right after when you first run ScC? UI may not respond while loading feed so you're trying when "loading" process done , right?
All settings are saved in config files , all you gotta do is taking a backup of that config file before uninstalling.
For ScC 1.3.1 ; ScCFloe , config file is located at ;
C:\Program Files (x86)\brn\ScCalendar\Chat\
For ScC 1.4.0 ; ScCFloe config file is located at ;
C:\Users\{Your Account Name}\AppData\Roaming\ScC\Floe
Actually , as you can see , we changed the config file placement with 1.4.0b so you probably don't even need to take a backup before uninstalling from now on. I'll test that and edit this with %100 info
Edit : Yeap , change ScCFloe settings to somethings absurd , then uninstalled ScC , then re-installed ScC , and ScCFloe settings are still absurd!
So as I said , you won't need to do anything extra from now on. God know why , I didn't do the same for ScC Settings tho , no way to save them through uninstall - reinstall process at the moment. Gonna fix that in next version for sure
|
Tiax;mous I am indeed trying after the loading process. And i'm sure that i'm clicking on it since it highlights just as the minimize/options buttons. They do respond to clicks, aswell as close-buttons on other windows, such as irc, calendar and streams. But no, the close-button in the rss-window is not responding. I understand that it's rather strange that just this button isn't working and none of the similar around it. But hey, hope you manage to find what it is ^^
For others,, Anyone else having the same problem with closing the rss-window?
If not, it might just me and my usual luck regarding tech ^^
Anyways, glhf m8
|
SirDawid - Ok here is an idea ; can you please run ScC as Admin and try close button again? I just remembered there are some other thing going on while closing Rss Window , so "run as admin" may fix that issue.
I fixed lots of stuff which makes ScC require "run as admin" (on some systems , not all) but still , I'm afraid I messed it up again >< Let me know if it fixes the issue and if it does , I'll try to explain it more. ( probably tomorrow tho , gotta go get some rest now , got exams tomorrow >< )
|
Tiax;mous - Well, it's working now! >.<
I'm having a hard time understanding why the close-button in this particular window should be any different from the other ones in other windows (chat, calendar, streams).
Thanks for helping me out anyway, good luck with this in the future, really good software so far!
|
Love your application, don't love that I don't show as a featured streamer (I am one).
|
No matter what I do, I can't even get framework 4.0 to install...
But from what I've read/ seen, it looks awesome.
|
SirDawid - Ah as I suspect , it's a file writing problem. When you click the close button of Rss Window , it saves all rss feeds in an xml file so ScC can read them of that file and won't need to download them all again 2 minutes later. But the problem is , it's saving that file in the ScC folder , which is in C./Program Files which requires admin rights to write.
At the moment you can't close that window because Windows block ScC process which is trying to write a file in that folder. And whenever you open Rss Window , ScC downloads all feeds again because there isn't a cache file to read them of. Gotta fix this soon , not a ground breaking bug but a big one.
Wolf - Apologies about that , there are 300+ streams in ScC at the moment and lots of featured stream in TL so it's easy to miss a few here and there. Should be fixed now , and speaking of which ; here's a deal ; show ScC & ScC Floe & ScC Stream Player on your stream and I'll double feature and triple favorite you!! Just kidding of course , but well we really need more publicity these days.
On a serious note , I saw nearly all streamers using a Irc client at the background , has anyone tried ScCFloe for it? It should be like Sc2 Chat Rooms which is available with Alt+Tab shortcut
And again if there is any stream you want in , just post here , or use our feedback window to report , or PM me etc. Just contact me and I'll add it asap.
Zabimaru - Aww that's bad. Have you googled with bing about the problem? If it's a common problem , no doubt Microsoft guys have a solution for it as .Net Framework is pretty crucial product for Microsoft.
|
If you're having problems with Rss/settings window not opening properly run ScCalendar as admin, that solves the problem.
A "hotfix" kinda deal will be released after a few more improvements.
|
Thanks so much for this, dude. If I could request for changing time formats and showing time until event starts in the calendar without having to expand the event (like in the pop-up notifications). Great app!
|
baeracaed - It was pretty much like that in our previous version but decided to switch to HOUR : MIN format as it's much easier to plan your day like this. Hope you noticed all those times are converted to your own timezone so it's much easier to have a look and see if it'll be a busy night tonite and/or see when you'll have to time to go for a lunch.
After all notifications will warn you about incoming event anyway , and show you the time left to that event as you asked. Calendar Window is for like planing your evening or day.
Another thing I noted , we still have more 1.3.1 users than 1.4.0 users ; although we have an update notifier , lots of users haven't switched yet. That's kinda weird , is there any particular reason i don't know or ?
|
I love you so much Tiax! I've been using my dual monitor setup to keep an eye on 3 streams while watching casts in full screen. Goddamn this app is great.
|
chuckg - Glad you like it man! It's working with 146dpi smoothly now isn't it?
And one thing that we really need ; if you like the app and want to help us a bit , please let your friends know about it! If you're using any other big Sc2 forums ( reddit , german/swe/russian forums etc ) please post or talk about ScC there etc. There is a limit to what we can do with 1-2 man , and unfortunately marketing , advertising etc is so far beyond that limit. Thanks in advance !
|
We're working on sc-streams.com support and a few bugs for now...
If you want anything else added to ScC please let us know!
|
Hey everyone ,
As Tnud said , we'll probably release a small version soon. Fixed a few bugs , tweak some little things here and there etc. We haven't really received any bug reports anyway , guess it'll be completely bug free soon.
If you got anything in mind , any feature or improvement ; you may want to contact us soon and I'll try to get it in next version.
We already got some things in mind , but the more the merrier eh?
|
Profile surfing would be cool. A framed version of sc2ranks.com perhaps.
Check the Android sc2 app "Barracks" for inspiration
|
I was checking my bookmarks, and found this thread. I'm not sure how I forgot about this, but damn this application is good! Good work, you've created a really neat application.
The app is 100% perfect for me, except for the inability to remove those adds by Google. I know it sounds selfish, but the adds always block something in the screen and annoy the hell out of me.
Thanks for making this and updating it regularly!
|
Tiax;mous Here is something to add to your time consumption. The IRC program, the first time it draws on my screen it's overlapping my taskbar. I need to reduce it size, and then maximize it again, just so it draws correctly.
Cheers
|
SirDawid - Hmm I'm not sure if that'll be useful tho , I mean you'll check probably one person a week and it's much easier to do it through browser eh?
Deyster - Hey Deyster , I'm glad you like it! Have you tried hosts file editing ( check streams tab in settings )? Normally I'm against ad blocking but unfortunately some stream service providers are really spamming ads these days , leaving us no other choice
Usurper - Hey Usurper , Where have you been! I'll check the irc positioning , can you tell me what screen resolution you're using ? Or even better can you send me a screenshot or something? Thanks!
|
Tiax;mous My resolution is 1920x1080, 22" Monitor. Here is the screenshot.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/v7jqr.jpg)
Cheers mate.

Usurper - Thx Usurper , I'll fix that for next version
but now ;
ScCalendar 1.4.1b Released !
It's a small version. No new big features or even noticeable big changes really.
Fixed a few bugs here and there , changed Rss file placement so you hopefully won't need to run it as admin anymore.
Also added Sc-Streams support , well it's not %100 yet but still functional and worth having till it's %100 next version.
You won't loose your ScCFloe settings when you update , have no worries about your server/channel/font setups ; they are all safe.
You WILL loose your Rss Settings tho , unless you back them up before un-installing current client. So if you have custom Feeds added , here is how you can keep them throught updating process ;
+ Show Spoiler +
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\brn\ScCalendar and copy recfeedsource.xml to a safe place , like "My Folders" or just simply "Desktop".
Uninstall current version of ScCalendar.
Install ScC1.4.1b.
Copy&Paste your backup recfeedsource.xml to C:\Users\YOURNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\ScC
Run ScC , everything should be there.
Please report any bugs you found or problems you had , so we can improve ScC better&faster.
Thanks in advance!
|
I'll just go ahead and post this one here too:
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/2Yyb5.png)
Sometimes it's really awesome not only being a developer, but a user too :D
Tiax added a bunch of screenshots to the codeplex homepage
As always, GIVE US FEEDBACK/SUGGESTIONS <3

A few pages back you mentioned that some people have problems with the new player (just get a black screen), and have to use the old player - unfortunately, I'm one of those people. It looks like with the b.net player turned off, the RSS won't load youtube videos; I can open them in browser, but I can't play them with the 'old' player (nothing happens - with the b.net player turned on, I get the splash screen and the window pops up, but it's just a black screen). Is that intentional? If so, any troubleshooting I can try to do to fix my problem with the new player, or information I can provide to help narrow down what the issue is with it? My activex flash player is up to date, but that's the only thing I've looked at so far.
|
Gamgee - Hey Gamgee , first of all , apologies for the late response ; busy days ><
Unfortunately I still haven't found the problem with new stream player , it just doesn't work on some systems and considering that the new stream player is probably the best thing in ScC , it's a big loss
And you're right about youtube links , I guess I forgot to add youtube support to old player so it tries to open it in new player even if you're using the old player.
This old-new thing is kinda stupid , I'll totally remove old player if only I can fix that problem.
Thanks for reporting it Gamgee!
|
Really great program, keep up the good work.
|
chromate - Hey Chromate! Thanks man , glad you like it!
We slowed down a little these days but guess I'll start working on improving stream services soon , as it's the most popular feature in ScC.
Let me know if there is any other feature / improvement you want!
|
Hey Tiax, I'm sure you don't remember, but if you check page 4/5, there was a problem I was having running this app when it was v. 1.22 I think.
Anyways, I saw this topic after a while, and I decided to check to see if there were any updates. So I downloaded the v 1.41 and it works with no problems. :D
Also incase you're wondering, the problem at that time was related to some error with the microsoft .net framework, however, I was using the latest and same version at that time as I am now. As to how the problem got solved, I have no Idea, but either way its great.
Thanks a lot for the update, so I can finally enjoy this awesome app.

Babump!
Working on switching out stream service to sql (instead of xml) which also enables me to do some work... i.e add proper names to all the streams (ex Stefan Andersson becomes MorroW).
EDIT: Aaaand it's live, will need an update to ScC for the names though. Stream service is now faster
EDIT2: Ok, hoold on.. now all justin.tv streams are online lol - fixed
New notifications service is also being worked on, it relies on a twitter flow and should be faster then the current system.
Random bug fixes also included .
We're in contact with sc-streams and they've hinted at releasing a proper embedded player next week :D
Still not working: Own3d still doesn't support autoplay...they're slow....very slow..
Justin.tv quality settings are kinda unaccessible atm due to our fancy name tag (will fix).
Maaaaybeeee add a stream search in next release too.
Tiax will show up later and add the details... also there's something else awesome in the works that's taking up a bit of scc development time~
|
Hey Everyone!
As Tnud said we're working on stream service quality these days.
We were using basic and crappy IO & XML based system for stream services till now , which I always hated but had not time to fix. From now on we'll be using a much better , faster , stable , easy to maintain Sql based system. You can already feel streams window is reacting much faster and precise.
Also with this new service , we increased the stream number too. We used to process 300ish streams every 10 minutes in old system and now we got 400+ streams processed every 5 minutes. Actually we have no limit to stream count really so if we're missing any stream you know&like , just let us know and we'll add it in 5 minutes
Also many users have been asking for race / language / league details for streams which will help sorting etc. We're working on that at the moment , but that will require a client update so we're planing an update soon ( in a week or two ).
Another issue we're working on is stream notifications ; since the whole stream service is working much better now ; we'll also change and improve stream notifications. You won't miss any stream out there !
Also I know I've slowed down a lot recently , but there isn't much more to do with ScC at the moment as we're not even getting any bug reports anymore and I don't want to bloat ScC with useless features. We still got a few in our TO-DO list but don't hesitate to ask for any other features/improvements you want.
I hope you all like&enjoy ScC , also if you don't use/like ScC please let us know why. Those kinda feedbacks are really important for the improvement process afterall
|
I can't believe I just found this. I have been using it all day and it is a fantastic app. Only thing I wish it had would be to show me what races the streamers are, but it is not necessary. Great work!
|
spacemunkee - Thanks man! As I said we'll have streamer race / language / league and even more extra info in next version soon which will hopefully improve streams feature even more!
Also just added the streams of Gretorp and InControl ( WOO GRETORP!!! ) Enjoy!
Edit : Argh last few posts now lost forever in previous page >< OK a short summary ;
We've improved our stream service so now we're processing 400+ stream data every 5 minutes. This even effects your current clients so you can feel Streams Window acting faster and more precise!
And now we're working on race/language/league and more additional stream data for next version!
|
i love the irc client, some suggestions.
- customize background, for example i would like a solid black color.
- type/text inputbar only when active toggle option
- option for removing the frame of a detached window
- nicklist, remove the blue border, and the black line.
- size of type/textbar customable
pretty much like that :
![[image loading]](http://www.abload.de/img/suggestions4ary.png)
so it would look like that
edit : customizeable colorcodes for ranks like irc admin, op, halfop, voice, normal
edit2: it also looks like the irc got some issues with utf8 encoding "äüöß" and so on. when dealing with miranda clients.

watching streams through the player uses some massive cpu power, at least on my side (quadcore 4,0ghz win7x64) if i dont use the flash interface and go fullscreen the cpu usage is insane.
e: the bigger the stream window the more cpu usage.
400x200 window = 5%
1024x768 window = 25%
1400x1050 window = 50%
1680x1050 window = 55%
1900x1200 window = 70%
that should be addressed
|
Farakes - Hey Farakes! Glad to ehar you enjoy Irc Client. First of all , as always , I want to say it's all based on the awesome work of Nedry ( floe.codeplex.com). I've done some skining and little improvements here and there but I really don't want to steal his credits for it
I really like your ideas , maybe except autohide on textbox as it'll cause main chat area to move and will make it harder to read etc. Other than that guess I can add autohide for userlist and top bar , gonna try them out asap.
Also have you tried detached mode? I'm using & loving it really , check out "Detach incoming queries" and "minimize in system tray" from Settings -> Windows. Then detach your channels ( Right Click Tab button and click detach ) and minimize the main window (you only want your server tabs there I guess). Every new incoming query will pop up like Msn windows and detached windows are much smaller than standart one ( I guess you already know that as you said , "remove the frame from detached window" , but I don't get it ; you mean the light blue border? Then how will user resize it tho? )
This is , for example , how I use it ;
![[image loading]](http://i55.tinypic.com/243i3y0.jpg)
Last 2 chars of names and color coding is enough to identify who's talking , and first 2 chars are enough to see who's on or not. Working pretty good for me at least But yea guess autohide for user list and top bar would be even better!
And about performance , yea resizing the who window is much more costly compared to full screen on flash , but as far as I know your only option with flash are standart size and fullscreen while you can resize the ScC Player Windows as you please ( for example I use my player at bottom left corner too , like chat windows ). I'm afraid it won't be possible to improve performance in that , but consider this ;
If user has 1 monitor and fullscreen the player ; he probably doesn't need CPU for anything else anyway.
If user has 2 monitors and want to fullscreen player in the 2nd one ; Flash won't let him do it ( I heard it's fixed in last version but still many doesn't have it ) while he can easily fullscreen ScCPlayerWindow in 2nd.
Also I guess those numbers are kinda misleading , yea it seems its using CPU alot but I'm working with 3 VisualStudio2010 and fullscreen ScCPlayer (2nd monitor) no problem (and my computer isn't high end or something). So yea there is a room for improvement but I doubt it's a big problem as those numbers indicate.
Thanks for the detailed post tho , really appreciate it. Makes me want to work more and more on ScC ( been kinda busy with some other stuff lately ). Please don't hesitate to post!
PS: I just added Finnish and Polish Assembly Winter Streams to our stream list too , 413 streams and counting!
|
yeah, im using the deatached windows, i keep my irc chans on a third monitor so i dont have to tab through them.
without the borders, maybe you can make it so that you can move the windows at the edges, or dont make them moveable at all, should be no problem if the borders are switchable through an option or hotkey.
as for fullscreen and flash, thats true but with a minor hex edit you can force flash to keep up the fullscreen even without focus, but thats not practicable for the it unsavy userbase.
i guess the performance only is a problem with a "power" user like me who likes to keep track of multiple hd streams.
but i really like this tool and i really appreciate your support and the time you put in it.
keep up the great work
edit:
thats for example how some channels look on my good old mirc over the last 10 years, time for a nice ui upgrade
![[image loading]](http://www.abload.de/thumb/rustyoldmirceeob.png)
|
Farakes - Well making it borderless and putting an hotkey/option to switch should be easy but it's not really user friendly. Personally I love switch hotkeys and would have no problem with such system , but you know standart/casual users will think it's damn complicated and hard to use.
Ie. I'm pretty sure lots of people who tried ScC Player doesn't know that they can switch between flash and ScC UI with just (T) button and thought it's damn hard to use because of that. ( Speaking of which , you can always hit (T) and use Flash Fullscreen feature )
Just to be clear , I'm not trying to undervalue ( guess it's the wrong word >< can't find a better one ) the fullscreen performance issue. It's just that , even the numbers look big ; I never had performance issue because of ScC. Maybe that's just me tho, so , beyond numbers and stuff , did you felt any slowdown or something because of ScC or ScCPlayer?
Thanks for the support man! Honestly , it's the only thing keeps me going. There is no money or fame or anything else in such opensource application afterall ; just the satisfaction of knowing someone uses & likes my work
To be honest , I'm not a fan of UI work either but it's an app for Sc2 community afterall , so I felt I have to sacrifice some poweruser stuff for eyecandy and cutesy visuals
I really need a Xaml designer who knows what he's doing to handle those stuff , but damn they are hard to come by.

overall performance is great for me, no problem at all.
only "issue" for me is resizing windows or windows not in the default flash size when having multiple streams open.
everything else works very fluent and smooth.

Is there anyone else unable to close the little bottom popup ads when using this program?
EDIT : I notice the Ustream version of GosuGamers casting gets called "GosuCast" and doesn't show up live when it is
|
DreamScaR - You should be able to switch to Flash UI ( Shortcut : T ) close and switch back I guess? I'm not sure as I'm using a custom hosts file thus can't see any ads ( which you may want to try , more information in Settings -> Streams )
Also thanks to your post I just noticed we're having a little trouble handling 2 streams working under same channel GosuGamers and GosuCast streams seems to work under same channel I guess , and system only reads one ( GosuGamers ) at the moment. I never noticed that before as it's pretty rare I guess , gotta fix that asap , thanks DreamScaR!
EDIT : Ok guess I fixed that , GosuCasts seems to be offline at the moment so can't check it but we have both TeamLiquid and TeamLiquid LQ online for example so seems to be working fine now. Somehow I never noticed that before and as soon as I fixed it we had extra 5-6 streams online , oh silly me. Thanks again DreamScaR!

Hello again! It looks like the justin.tv streams aren't working while using the old player - it shows them all as offline. I saw this had been a problem a couple of days ago, is there any way to fix it for the old player too? And again, if there's any troubleshooting info I can provide to get the new player working, let me know
|
Gamgee - Hey Gamgee , I just fixed Justin problem for old player. It was a weird Internet Explorer issue ( old player is based on IE , new player is based on Chrome ). It's fixed now , tried it and was working as it should , still it would be nice if you let me know if it's working after you try
Unfortunately I still have no idea why new player doesn't work on certain systems. I'll keep trying tho , I really want everyone to switch to new player as it's worlds better than older one
|
Ah ha! I've now got the new player working. It looks like the issue was simply that I didn't have Flash installed, per se - I use Chrome as my main browser, with IE as backup. Since Chrome comes with its own flash player, and IE uses the ActiveX plugin, I'd never had any need to install the standalone Flash plugin that other applications would use (and Adobe likes to be helpful and not let you install it again easily). It's possible that other Chrome users would have this issue as well; if so, here's the easiest way I found to install it:
1) Open a new tab in Chrome. Type in about:plugins into the address bar, hit enter, find Flash Player. If you click the + Details button in the upper right of the page, and Flash Player only lists "gcswf32.dll" as the plugin file, then you don't have the Flash plugin installed.
2) From that Plugins page, disable Flash, and then navigate to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer; if the native flash player is still enabled, it will just say "Chrome comes with Flash, so use that k?", but with it disabled it will let you download and install the latest version.
3) Go through the flash install process there - once done, check the plugins screen, and you should notice that Flash now says (2 files) next to it, and has two listings when you click the + Details button. You can now disable the listing for "\NPSWF32.dll", and re-enable the listing for "gcswf32.dll", to use the built-in flash player for Chrome again.
Now that I do have the new player working, I did have two feature requests/questions
1) While watching justin.tv streams, I've noticed that the option to select the resolution is masked by the title bar that appears when you mouse over the top of the screen. Any easy way to fix this? I tried toggling the flash interface, which did fix the volume and full screen options being offscreen, but trying to mouse up to the resolution selection just causes the title bar with the stream player options to pop up and cover it. (EDIT: Toggling full screen allows me to change the resolution without having the title bar pop up, so this isn't needed as much)
2) Any chance there could be a toggle to lock the window resize ratio? ie, when resizing the player, you can scale it larger or smaller without having to worry about getting the ratios right again to prevent th letterboxing.
|
Gamgee - Oh man you just fixed our biggest bug ever! Tried it on a virtual machine and it totally works! Awesome work man thanks a lot again and again! :D Now I gotta find a way to make it easier for users to fix it , but at least now I know what's really wrong.
Quality thingy for Justin will be fixed for next version , unfortunately it'll require a client update , not much I can do from our servers etc. Everyone is switching to Justin these days so I really want our Justin support to work smooth & bug free. I'll probably just remove top var from Flash UI or make it smaller for both Flash/WPF UI so it won't block quality settings etc.
Locking ratio is a good idea , and I'll try to implement it. Technically it shouldn't be hard to implement I guess but there are soooo much to do these days so unlike Justin quality problem or streamer race/league support ; I can't really guarantee it. But sure I'll try and implement it if I can

First of all: AWESOME app man! Absolutely love it.

lolwhat - Hmm doing that in the way you describe is impossible. BUT if you're using W7 you can simply drag window to the top of your monitor and I'll maximize the window ( pretty close to fullscreen ). You can then restore back with [1x] button. ( sometimes it fails to resize the content inside , just resize a little and it'll fix it automatically )
Running a flash video (forced in fullscreen) on a dual-monitor setup is not impossible. Just google it and you will find a modified version of the "npswf32.dll". It works! However I think the users themselves should do the file replacement.
Also, whats the deal with the need to report streams to you? Why can't you just use the teamliquid.net stream list? Sorry, if I have misunderstood something here?
Requests:
* Search box on stream window
* "Follow mode"/Get notified when streams (picked by the user) go online

HellGreen - Hey man , glad you like it!
Well yea I know about Flash hack and even using it for a long time but I can't really ask people to use a hacked dll when ScC Player can already achieve the same effect eh? Also I remember a few friends having troubles with hacked Flash dll's so I can't really take responsibility for such things.
We already have the big part of TL streams , all featured ones and most of the non-featured streams. But the thing is ; even TL doesn't have all Sc2 streams out there ( except streams with 5-10 viewers I guess ). For example there are some streams , as far as I know , removed from TL for illegal content ( Gsl restream ) and there are loooots of Russian streams etc ( evn dimaga has a stream which isn't listed in TL ). Also I'm pretty sure there are other Chinese , Korean , German etc streams out there too , but well I can't really track all countries community forums etc right
We really need a search box in streams window but it's kinda hard to implement that in current system. So unfortunately it probably won't be in next version , but after that I'm planing to redo lots of things ( including streams window ) so eventually we'll have it.
We have "Favorite" for notifications but stream notifier isn't working smooth now as far a I know ( a little slower than I like ). You can select streams in streams window and click star from right panel to favorite it. We'll improve stream notification very soon ( thanks to our stream service it should be easy and muuch better ).

@Stream lists/providers
Yes, I completely understand that teamliquid.net is not the only provider of listed streams. Still it seems like a Sisyphean task to manually update the list, and newly created streams wont automatically appear . Other apps such as the "Stream Tracker" have implemented the teamliquid.net list just as it is, which works quite well. To extend this to other websites wouldn't be impossible. Although I admit I currently do not know how the back end of your system actually works, maybe you could make a submit page, so the actual procedure of getting the stream listed, would be faster/easier (less work for you)

I see. It may just be me, but I only took the "favorite" marking as a thing to make the stream stand out visually. And I'm pretty sure I read all the mouse-over tips in the UI. How does the notification work? Pop-up? Finally I'dd like to add another suggestion: A schedule tracker for each stream, that shows which weekdays and times that user has streamed. It would make it possible to reasonable guess when the stream goes online. And it would be fun to see who streams most hours/week or w/e.
Error report:
When opening "Steven Bonnell II" aka "Destiny" through the browser option, the webpage comes up with a error. The link is wrong: http://www.justin.tv/Destiny - Starcraft 2. The correct one is http://www.justin.tv/steven_bonnell_ii (again if you just screen scraped the teamliquid list this wouldn't happen :D)
I will keep posting suggestions and errors if/when I find any.

HellGreen - Well newly created streams doesn't appear on TL magically either :D For example I'm pretty sure we have idra's and incontrol's streams even before TL , that's all about if I'm ( or tnud is ) awake at that time.
Also parsing TL pages are risky , say our next version will be extremely successful and will be downloaded by 5000 peoples first day. Aaaan TL decided to change 1 word in their live streams page which will break down my parser. Now can I really ask 5000 people to go download it again? At the moment I have all control over streams and I'm loving it. If I parse TL streams , it'll be between you and TL thus I'll have no chance to interact with it or fixed the bugs etc.
Indeed it's like hidden at the moment >< I'll try to remake and improve streams window (which will hopefully help with these kinda problems) after next patch but I guess it's OK for now. Schedule tracker is haard and I doubt it worths the effort really. Other than lots of coding work etc, it'll be lots of process for your CPU too , updating a database every 2-5 minutes. We can have something like "Last Online" tho , we already have something like that in our database so I should be easy but the problem is ; it means 400+ new lines for our streams xml which will increase size and make it took longer to download. I'll try it tho.
Yea it seems we have a little problem with a few justin streams links , I'll fix it soon thanks for reporting
Please keep looking & posting any other errors you find

Thanks for all the detailed replys, man. You are so dedicated and I love it.

I see your point. And you may get some streams before TL does. But still, I would guess the amount of streams that TL get before you is even larger? No? Maybe? . Anyway, please do consider my suggestion to make a submit option (either through web page or the app) - of course you may need a validation system/moderator group.

Well, that could be solved by design. I.e the "StreamTracker by disco" app, relies on data not from teamliquid.net, but from the author's server. He has made a server side script that does the parsing and saves the data to (i presume) a database. The clients only requests data from the server. Problem solved . If I read your reply correctly, you already use this method to some extend?

I recognize the work needed to do it. I humbly suggest this feature, because (again IMHO) it seems like a majority of the viewers would like to know "when is the next show?". A tracker would give them a tool to figure out a "schedule pattern" for the streamer in question.
I respectfully disagree on a CPU load problem though. It's all about serving the data (ie. in plain xml). I have read in the thread, that you are very observant on making the app as light as possible and I fully respect that (although I'm not completely disregarding that the built-in flash player is about 100% more CPU intensive than my browser (sarcasm+humor applied) :-D).

Also related to the above "schedule pattern tracker" suggestion, you could make it an option in the app, if you're worried about the xml file sizes. That would address the problem I think .
Again, I pay huge respect to you (and your team). The app is awesome already, I'm just offering input. It's of course all up to you, if you like my input or not. The reason I found your app, was because I was about to do my own app, and that's why I have quite a lot of ideas/suggestions. No matter what, I will respect your decisions as the author.

HellGreen - I love talking about ScC , so no problem really Also I always need fedback and new ideas since I'm pretty busy with coding , I really can't sit back and think about those kinda stuff these days.
I see your point. And you may get some streams before TL does. But still, I would guess the amount of streams that TL get before you is even larger? No? Maybe? . Anyway, please do consider my suggestion to make a submit option (either through web page or the app) - of course you may need a validation system/moderator group.
Well we have a feedback feature in ScC for that , also anyone can post here for any missing streams too. I can't see how would a webpage help further? Adding streams is eeeassy and if it's on TL , it'll be on ScC in a few hours if not minutes. What we need help for , is russian , korean , chinese streams.

If I read your reply correctly, you already use this method to some extend?
Well it's pretty much how ScC Stream service works , except we're gathering data ourselves , instead of reading it off TL. And still if TL Coders change one little thing in that page , our service will be down for hours and then I'll need to write another parser for it. Relying so much on a web page parsing process ( I would totally do it if TL had a detailed stream info service / rss for it tho) doesn't sounds like a good idea to me really.

Well actually it's a good idea , the problem is whenever someone asks for a new feature or improvement ; I ask myself "will it worth the effort?" And it's not because I'm being lazy or something , the limiting factor here is time. I'm the only coder for ScC at the moment , and I already got a decent amount of stuff to do so for now , I'm only going for things with high importance/effort value.
To me , stream schedule sounds like a "good to have" thing. It also requires a pretty good amount of code and it'll be haaarrrrdd to visualize ( UI , believe me it's a bitch and visualizing dates , times in a timeline........oh boy )
Guess I look like a nay sayer now , but at this moment ; I can't really see it helping ScC more than other stuff I'm working on. So yeah , in future , when I'm done with main features and maybe got some coding help ; sure I'll give it a shot no doubt
I really love & appreciate your feedback. ( Also thanks for the kind words ) Keep them coming and I'll do all I can to improve ScC
Also as an additional personal note : I passed my final exam today and guess I'm graduated now! WOHOO! Now gotta find an EU / US university for master grad degree or a job I guess

i just reinstall this program, but somehow my stream list is missing. so i can't watch stream now.
how to solve this?

tomwizz - Can you please try "Refresh Notifications" from menu or simply restarting ScC? That glitch happens when ScC can't connect and get streams data from server and should be fixed by a refresh or restart.
Please let me know if it's a persistent problem tho , may be something new.

thank you
now it work perfectly for me. i think that was my connection problem.

tomwizz - Cool! Please let us know if you like it or not
As I said before , I'm working on streams window improvements these days. Just added streamer race ( terran , zerg , protoss , random , caster (mic icon) ) and language to streams window. Here is who it looks like ;
![[image loading]](http://i53.tinypic.com/mmfjtg.jpg)
Oh and just noticed it ; I'll just remove that bottom Last update info box , we won't need it anymore. ( too lazy to get a new screenshot )
Also guess I said it before but I also added lock ratio option to stream settings ( it doesn't look too smooth so its just an opiton for now) as Gamgee requested.
And someone mailed and asked for persistent player positioning , just finished that too , now whenever you run ScCPlayer , it'll be at where it were when you last closed it properly. Trying to get it all work better & smoother for you guys.
I'll also change / improve stream notification system , and then I guess we're ready to release a new version. Let me know if there are any other improvements you want guys !
Edit : Guess we also need a new icon for "Featured" , it's hard tho , believe me I tried a lot of different icons for it , nothing really fits Maybe just a bold nice blue "TL" instead of an icon....

This is awesome, using it as we speak . Ty for this.

Hello. I really love ScCallendar! But i have a problem. The only way i can watch a stream is by using "Play in Default Browser" because when i want to watch it with ScCallendar only thing i see is a black screen and nothing happens. I read that i should install Flash Player for IE (im using chrome but i did downloaded Flash Player by IE) and to install .Net 4 so i did that as well. But it just wont work. Please can Anyone help me? Im using Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks.

Ebuzola - Glad you like it Ebuzola!

First of all ,
Keis - I'm sorry for late answer, I just don't like to bump my own topic with 2 line posts Glad you like it man , thanks for your post!
and ,
ScC 1.4.2b is Released!
Changelog
+ Show Spoiler +
- Reworked how stream listing works. Can now handle more streams and is very stable. (active)
- Reworked how adding a stream to our list works. This does not affect the user. (active)
- Fixed a problem with justin.tv streams showing up as offline in old player (active)
- Fixed a problem with the own3d overlay (Informing you that own3d doesn’t support auto play yet) showing up when you tried to switch FROM a own3d stream (should be when switching to).
- Improved the look of new player settings, you can now see the stream you’re tweaking :D
- Reworked how stream notifications work. New setting: Display all stream notification / Only favorites.
- Added more information to streams. Language, league (including bw), featured (TL), race (and caster). Default is Caster (microphone icon).
**** This will progressively get more accurate! If someone is filed as a caster/terran/other but isn’t please send us the correct information though feedback or the Teamliquid topic! This information is put in manually so everyone does not have their correct information yet! ****
- Lock ratio option (for easier resizing) added
- The name bar now doesn't show when in flash mode. This enables the user to have access to justin.tv resolution controls. Added a notification about how you can toggle the flash back off with T.
- Reworked the look of new player overlays.
- Removed borders from all windows
- Updated the styles for ALL windows to remove most of the battle.net 0.2 ripoffs.
- Experiment: Removed old style windows (to see if anyone will notice, also they’re ugly)
- Added a retry option if the server fails to get stream information on startup.
Changelogs are boring tho right? So ;
WHAT'S NEW?
- First of all , we now got RACE and LANGUAGE information for streams.
- We also got a MUCH MUCH better stream notification system , so I really doubt you'll miss any streams with ScC anymore.
- We also changed the main style a bit , windows are less bulky now and looks much better ( at least to me )
- We removed all old styles which increased performance and stuff. So yea it works&feels faster now!
- Oh another big thing , ScC Stream Player is now a STAND ALONE APP! I tweaked it to work as a stand alone application and ScC setup will create a shortcut on desktop so whenever you want to watch streams , you can directly jump in player just with a double click !
- Lots of other UI improvements , ie ;
- ScCPlayer top bar is not blocking Justin quality settings anymore
- ScCPlayer Settings layer is smaller so you can see the stream while tweaking Contrast & Brightness

The release seems fine since we haven't gotten any bad feedback yet =D!
On a related note.. please don't forget to add your contact information when you send the feedback. The current system needs it for us to be able to reply

I still have issues with the app, not showing up in the correct place, on a multi-monitor system.
The event-ticker is showing just fine (see picture A), but when I left-click the tray-icon, I only get the top 1½ menu items (see picture B). Actually it bothers me beyond that, because I can't close the app due to that button is not shown on a visible part of my screen.
I run a three monitor setup, say monitor 1, 2 and 3. They are placed horizontally next to each other, the bottom of each monitor are aligned (see picture C). The main monitor is #2. The Win7 Start-bar is placed on monitor #1. Furthermore monitor #1 is rotated 90° (portrait mode).

HellGreen - Hey HellGreen , nice to hear from you again!
Ouch , your monitor setup is hard Working on different sized monitor in multi-monitor environment can be painful sometimes.
First of all ; did you had this problem with previous version or just 1.4.2b ? You never said anything about monitor problems before iirc. ( Actually I just noticed the version you're using is not 1.4.2b , so I guess you just changed your monitor setup so never said anything about it before eh?)
And you seems to use #2 as your main but your system uses #1 as main which is in portrait mode. Can you try to make you standard monitor ( #2 in that picture ) , system main and try on it?
Also can you please check your Dpi settings and tell me what dpi you're using? We have fixed Dpi related issue in previous release but still , might be important.
By the way , as Tnud said , we got a few feedback mails without contact information guys We can't turn back to you without any contact information so please don't forget to add it if you're sending a bug report / request etc.
Oh and I forgot to say in previous post ; we also have a twitter account for our stream service now!
http://twitter.com/sccalendar
Our stream service tweets every stream going online and you can check the stream history of any streamer by clicking their ID's. Should be also useful for mobile phones , as far as I know all modern mobile phones has a twitter client application right? So enjoy!
( Also I'm a newbie when it comes to twitter thingy , so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or can improve it somehow )

When opening stream chat I am not able to type anything in the chat?

Wow just downloaded and this thing is amazing, saves a lot of time to see the stream viewers and stuff. Was wondering if there could be like a Pop-out default browser option under maybe Play in default browser. I like popping out tons of streams and watching them instead of watching on JTV.

Hey you. Of course, I will try to answer your questions

You are right. I just recently purchased my no. three monitor, but it ran fine on my two monitors (after you fixed it in a earlier version, mentioned somewhere in this thread). Back then my start-menu was on the main monitor.

If I do that, the app shows up correctly
(I take it, you need this information to troubleshoot, 'cause I can't have my portrait monitor as main, 'cause then SC2 will run on that ).

I run on Win7 default 100% (=96 DPI)
Now that I momentarily can use the entire menu (just joking), I will be sure to update the app.
I'll keep you posted with anything I can, to help your work on this great app :D

Thorantham - Hmm which streams ( and stream providers , lik ustream , justin etc ) does that happen? Justin.tv for example chaging so many thing these days , they switched to a new stream player these days for example , so they may have broken somethings
ImHuko - Hey Huko , glad you like it man! Excuse me but I don't understand what you asked for You mean something to open streams in browsers other than your default one? By the way you can run more than one ScC Player you know. It WILL use lots of ram but if you're not doing anything else , you can easily run 5+ ScC Players and watch everything at once
HellGreen - Hmm so it seems like portrait mode causing problems It'll be a hard fix and will take time man ( as I only have 1 ( okay maybe 1.5 with my old 17" lol) monitor.) It maybe a framework related problem too , as I get numbers for positioning from framework etc.
My previous question was just to understand what's going on, but now it seems switching ScC monitor settings is the only quick solution. Have you tried that? You don't need to change your main monitor or etc , just check ScC Settings -> Windows and Monitor settings. I guess that's the only quick solution I got to offer

In my previous post I did not change away from portrait mode. I just made the portrait mode monitor the main monitor (through Win7 display settings). I can add that switching the position through your interface (changing monitor as you suggested) really adds to the complexity of this problem. I switched between all three (that I have) and none showed up where expected. One was completely off-screen, the other two were showing parts of the menu, like in my original post.
I completely realize I have a unique set-up, and that you shouldn't give it full attention. I will continue to use the app as best as I can (primarily on my netbook). Thanks.

We'll look into it
Can't promise anything though, it's really tricky working with all these possible monitor setups.

HellGreen - I'll do what I can , but as Tnud said , monitor settings is a bitch to work with
ImHuko - After a little research , now I get what you meant I'm afraid that doesn't look easy but I'll try it anyway. Still , by then , you can just launch multiple ScC Players

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!
|
tnud, are you talking about the bug that when you click the star, it doesn't stay selected?
|
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]](http://i.imgur.com/EMYAY.jpg)
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. :|
|
SpearThruster - Hmm that's probably a non-sc related issue as I haven't touched stream player at all for a few patches now. Have you tried the solution in OP , under "Troubleshooting tips: IMPORTANT" spoiler ? Probably it's a chrome flash player related issue.
Also I just noticed yesterday that I forgot to change version number of last version. I had to fix it and re upload 1.4.4b , so if you downloaded 1.4.4b and still get "New Update" button , that's why. Apologies for inconvenience , I blame my MIA tester Tnud for every single thing wrong with ScC
|
I come bearing a bug and a suggestion.
First, the bug.
I've only tried this on justin.tv streams, but when you switch UI to the justin.tv UI, more often than not, the controls are unusable. The mute button doesn't work, and the quality buttons at the top don't work. Also, if you click on the stream itself, the "picture" if you will, the streaming app changes to browser mode and opens up the page with their stream and chat on it.
Now for my suggestion.
Is there a way to save the favorite streams for when an update arrives? Perhaps writing them to a text file once favorited, not needing to read from them again, but when we reinstall sccalendar, search for the file and read form it to recall favorited streams. scratch that, too hard to implement something that runs on installation. How about a button on the streams page, that when pushed will search for the file and read the written streams and remember the favorited streams.
Thats my two cents.
Thanks, Tiax :D
|
Pants536 - Hey man!
Oh that's weird , I just checked player and as you said stream provider UI isn't working smoothly. I'm pretty sure that's new tho , Justin.tv is improving their stuff these days so maybe they changed something because I don't remember having such an issue before. I'll look into it of course , oh and by the way , guess it works when you're on full screen mode.
DoubleClick -> Switch to Flash UI ->Change Quality -> I REALLY need beta testers
ScC settings and stream stuff isn't persistent as you said , and it's totally my fault. Can even say "my stupidness". The problem is , when I started ScC , I was just planing to implement calendar event notifications ( not even the current calendar window ) so the infrastructure of the application is terrible , actually there is no infrastructure to speak of. Then I keep adding things , and patching holes but I really can't keep doing that. Current code is a mess to work with , application is getting bloated etc etc. That is exactly why I already started ScC2
Of course it's possible to implement persistent settings , one way or another ; but I just don't want to keep adding stuff to ScC from now on ; just little bug fixes ( like the player issue you mentioned ).
Also should I release a fix asap now? I mean I'm pretty sure lots of users doesn't like a new version every week , but I can't leave it bugged right?
|
Don't worry too much about it, it's no big deal until next major release.
|
Is there a possibility to watch the current Stockholm Invitation DH tournament, via the player?
Tiax;mous pretty please? :p
|
Pants536 - Hopefully next major release will be much much better
SpearThruster - I'm working on it for a while now , but Justin.tv isn't really helping. Their stream info api is limited to 45 queries per 5 minutes and I got 96 justin.tv streams to refresh every 5 minute >< Gonna fix this asap.
Edit : Ok I guess I found a new and better way to do it , it'll take a little time to implement tho , hopfully if it works out , stream service quality will be drastically better.
Edit2 : Ok implemented the new system , I feel kinda silly for not finding this out earlier ( actually I'm pretty sure this isn't in Justin Api Wiki either so it's kinda their fault ). From now on , my server gonna get&process 1 xml per 5 minute instead of 96. This means a drastic improvement in speed and quality ( justin servers didn't answer half of those 96 requests , sigh ).
|
Tiax;mous, you deliver yet again. \m/
|
Another stream request if you don't mind - justin.tv/naslseasonone
On the off chance that you aren't currently watching to see how this whole NASL thing turns out!
|
SpearThruster - New justin code working sooo smooth and beautiful for now that it makes me wanna cry
Gamgee - Added , thanks to Tnud! Enjoy!
|
This program is awesome!
J/w, how do streams get added on here, does it automatically pull the list from TL? One of the guys I watch a lot isn't on the list. He uses ustream, does that matter?
|
bovineblitz - Hey man! We are using our very own stream list and service , which grants us more flexibility , stability and better service. There is no limit for streams tho , if there is a stream missing ( like streams with very very low viewer count and activity ) , just let me know and I'll add in minutes. You can use feedback window in ScC or post here ( posting here is better I guess , as it'll be like an announcement for that stream and other users will know it as well etc. )
tldr ; just contact me somehow and give me the stream link!
Also yet another wip shot of scc2

Okay, update from this bug.
The justin.tv UI works perfectly if I make the window fullscreen. If the window is not in fullscreen mode, the UI just doesn't work.
Note: When I say fullscreen, I mean maximized, or clicking "fullscreen" when you right click on the stream.
|
Pants536 - Yep , I noticed that too. It just happens on Justin streams so it's probably a justin player related issue. I'll fix this for next version but I really don't know when there'll be a next version at the moment ( if ever ). But I'll fix this eventually , for another version or scc2 Thanks for the feedback!
|
Hey Tiax,
I'd like my stream to be added. It can be found at: http://www.justin.tv/redeuxtv
I've been working full time and was taking 16 credit hours this semester so I haven't been streaming much, but I'm a master level 1v1 / 2v2 player and should be streaming more now that it's summer. If you'd like I can post back later once I've actually started streaming often and have some vods up to clarify the legitimacy of my stream.
You continue to impress me with this program. Awesome job and thanks for everything you're doing for the SC community
|
redeux - Hey there! I just added your stream to our list , it'll be there in a few minutes
Man you're a hard worker , full time job , school and Sc2 altogether >< If only I was such a hard worker , we all would have been using ScC2 at this moment
And thanks for your kind words , I'm doing the best I can , and it's always a pleasure to see you guys like&use it
|
For some reason all of the calendar events show up as being three hours earlier than they actually are. How do I fix this?
|
Hannibalbarca - Hey there! I'm sorry I wasn't around for a while now and I just saw your post.
If I recall correctly , ScC supposed to start from somewhere around 2 hours to pop notifications and then pops another notification half the way etc. ie. 2 hours -> 1 hour -> 30min -> 15min etc. It may become a little spammy if it's a busy night but shouldn't be too disturbing. Also you can always stop notifications from "Notifications" button at the left bottom of menu.
|
No, but I mean like on the calendar itself the listed times are three hours ahead of what they actually are; I'm in US East time and the NASL pregame that starts in 3 hours is shown as happening right now.
|
Hannibalbarca - Ah I get it now. Well ScC uses TL data for calendar ( based on Korean Standart Time ) and then gets the time zone of the user ( from .net framework ) , and converts Korean Standart Time to users time zone. I believe this is not a common error tho ,so I guess there is something wrong with your system particularly. Either OS time zone is wrong or .net is messing up somehow.
