yea i think it would be more natural to just have a list in the program itself with checkboxes to subscribe the feed/stream/podcast instead of having the current 'website browsing'

edit: like you could add a list named 'all available streams' which is getting loaded from your website, kinda like this:

@tabbi, thanks for your feedback, i'll be improving the catalog interface. The website based interface has advantages like easy adding/suggestions to catalog, categories, ratings, comments and so.I still have things planned for it, when they're all implemented, it'll be lot easier to use.

Hey raistlin. I have one important question:
From where does your program get the current events, streams, videos and so on?

i.e.: Can i be 100% sure that there is every tournament from the TL.net tournament tracker in the events list of your program?

Are there all streams which are currently online at TL.net? or featured on TL.net? or streams from other sites aswell?

Please give some info about where the content of your programs comes from.

THanks

Events module syndicates its data from TeamLiquid calendar.

Other than we maintain our own list of catalog for streams, video channels, feeds and podcasts.

Progress update: I'm dedicating the upcoming release to improving the module architecture. Although this improves the code base & will make it easier to maintain, it's benefits will be also visible; like data updates for modules will be 2x to 4x faster.

Additionally i'll be fixing more bugs & glitches.

This may take a bit long, but when all finished will be one of my favorite releases.

Hi, just a bit of feedback:

How about a view-count in the videos module? Just something simple: like the number of views the video had gotten next to the name or something. You could take it further and color-code the views so that the ones with a lot of views stand out.

Also, is there any way to make you able to remove the frame around the window of the app itself, like you can do when you double click videos or streams. It would make it fit into your desktop better and it would look really nice and slick too :D

Anyways, love the app! :D

Thanks for your feedback. I was in a short vacation so i'm able to reply it a bit late.

That sounds quite good and i'd like to also incorporate more video details functionality also, so i'll be putting this on my todo list.

Bordelerless main-window also sounds good and it also suits my plans about making it dockable to screen-edges. I'll be also adding this to my todo list.

Progress update: I'm %90 done with improving the module architecture, it's quite faster & robust now, though i'll be also applying some more hot-fixes for bugs discovered since last-release.

Expect an upcoming release in upcoming days.

So basically yes, ever tournament from TL 'calendar' (not the tournament page though) gets syndicated.

Are there all streams which are currently online at TL.net? or featured on TL.net? or streams from other sites aswell?

Please give some info about where the content of your programs comes from.

So we do also cover most of the popular streams around but its not exact same copy of TL stream database.

Hello !
Nice work ! But can-you add DailyMotion to the stream ? A lot of French stream is on DailyMotion.

Example : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfnik7_millenium-tv_videogames#from=embed&start=183

Progress Update: I'm mostly done with the upcoming releases development, have just a few things to do and i'll be releasing after.

1- Open the folder that old version resides in.
2- Copy the subscription.db file.
3- Paste it to C:\users\%user%\AppData\Local\BlizzTV\ folder. (replace %user% with your username on your computer)

and will download & install them as needed. Tested the installer for most possible configurations; WinXP, WinXP-64, Vista, Vista-64, Win7, Win7-64.

1 - This was an an unintended issue because of the new installer based release. With future releases, it'll be just locating your database correctly. Solution:

As 0.22-beta version is distributed with an installer, it'll be installing the BlizzTV to Program Files\BlizzTV folder. If you want to use your old subscriptions database prior to version 0.21-beta, follow these steps;

1- Open the folder that old version resides in.
2- Copy the subscription.db file.
3- Paste it to C:\users\%user%\AppData\Local\BlizzTV\ folder. (replace %user% with your username on your computer)
4- Restart BlizzTV.

2- Can you give the stream-links you're having problems?
3- Just checked the justin.tv and i was be able to set it. Can you provide more details please? (ie. the stream link you're having problems).

So I just tried to add iNcontroL's stream (on justinTV: http://www.justin.tv/incontroltv ), using the slug: incontroltv

Unfortunately I got an error:
There was an error parsing the stream. Please check the Stream provider, slug and retry.
