When I try to launch, I get an error that reads: "It seems your settings file is corrupted. BlizzTv will be start with default settings and you have to reconfigure from the Preferences menu." But then it doesn't launch at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

@spacemunkee, do you get the same error every time?

@snax, winrar or http://www.7-zip.org/.

Cool app. I'll plan on following this and downloading it once I get home from work.

One problem I see with the stream feature is that there is no ad block.

@roostersamuria, sorry but that's not possible (at least legally). I'll be not going against google's (youtube), ustream's or others rights to serve ads for the free services they provide.

Still you can do that with a hosts file you can find from the web but i'll be not implementing an embedded option for it.

Update: AFAIK, youtube and blip.tv allows streamers to also revenue-share, i don't want to piss of our lovely streamers :D

i'm working hard to sort the things out and expecting it for this weekend if everything goes well. The best & foremost improvement will be on subscriptions. You'll be able to drag & drop a youtube or whatever stream link to blizztv window and it'll automatically create the subscription for you.

I checked the directory and there was no debug.log. Hopefully something comes to you. I am really looking forward to checking this out. It looks like a great app.

Actually, I decided to try to redownload this and install it in a different location and it works from my C:\users folder, but not my c:\program files. So now that it's working I will check it out. :D

No more Justin.tv streams? Also, can you explain how to add video subscriptions, because no matter what URL combination I try it says that it is an invalid url and I can't click and drag, using the slug seemed easier.
