Hey thrasher, I'm the one who chatted to you about the inaccessible "Popout" link. Just wanted to reiterate how awesome your site is. It has pretty much been the place to go for me to watch some streams.

I wanted to point out some issues with the new version that introduced pip. I think most are fairly minor but are strange, such as,

Sound control visual does not update immediately when switching between main and pip. If you mute the main while the pip is full volume then switching will show the volume bar to still be showing that it's muted despite sound being on. It'll only update if you change the sound setting, then it'll skip to the proper place.
Stream channel selection does not update. The bottom bar updates, but the actual selection doesn't. If you look at the image below the stream is clearly Tyler's stream, but I had just switched the pip stream to qxc's stream. The bar updates, but the selection doesn't so if I were to press left then the stream would switch to TLO's (and not Mr. Bitter's) because that's to the left of qxc's.

+ Show Spoiler [image] +

The next two issues are probably still minor but are annoying,

Sometimes the sound for an ad in the pip can play over on the main stream. It happens with the damn Olive Garden ad and it happens if the main is playing an ad (with sound) and then you switch it with the pip. The sound will continue playing for the ad even though it's in the pip. I've also had this happen even when I "disabled" the pip and the Olive Garden ad plays (because that ad ignores the sound settings). I was in full screen mode hearing that ad and found out it was because the pip, that I "disabled", was playing that ad.
I'm not sure how this one happens but sometimes one of the streams (pip and/or main) just shrinks to a smaller size. I think this is related to ads that you have the option of closing. If I can get this to happen again I'll take a screenshot. I can't seem to resolve this one without refreshing the entire page. Even if I turn to a different stream, the video size is never corrected.

I don't know if these are common issues, but all of them have happened to me. Thanks again for creating this awesome website!

thrasher.

Hi Garbanzo! Appreciate the very detailed response.

Just hotfixed the volume change bug. Let me know if it happens again.
Very interesting bug. I am diagnosing it right now and am aiming to get it fixed asap.
I've gotten several reports about the Olive Garden ad of doom. I am looking into a way to get around the protection to programmatically change the ad's volume.
I put in a hotfix for the video size issue. Let me know if you see it again!

I should be thanking you! It is through your feedback I can continue to improve the player. Cheers!

I will be avoiding Warp Prism completely thanks to your dishonest advertising.

How does the op not have an edited thing since the date says today and all the following comments are from the past? Feel like a mod did this cuz that makes no sense (even though I'm really tired XD ). Either way if things turn out true than nobody will use this stream tool anymore and hopefully the threads and links can be removed/edited.

No I'm saying the op of this thread doesn't have an edited stamp at the bottom yet it says it was made today but all the reply's up to a few back are from the passed like a month or two ago. I'm saying that's strange since he's not a mod he can't do that and not have a time stamp since this thread would have been created tonight but responded to a couple months ago. Back to the future type of stuff going on in here is all I'm saying lol.

I'd still want to see a response before I'd be willing to take another look at the software. The allegations seemed pretty legit, based on the evidence sited in the thread discussing them, and I'd find them pretty damning if they were true. Publishing software of community interest for a profit is perfectly fine, but lying about it to give your organization geek cred would be really low.

Edit: And a response has been provided. I'm satisfied that this is all just a minor thing that's been blown out of proportion. Still don't particularly care for the fact that the program strips ads from streams, but that's not really the issue here.

Turns out Warp Prism really is run by just one guy, Jong-Moon Kim, under the alias Jake Frink. The old Teevox is dead, this is just using the same name.

So apart from the fake name (my last name is neither Cassel nor Castle, however I am not asking for donations) there was no lying here.

Looks like all the people who quickly pass an unjustified judgement (the original reddit) and the TLers who condemned Warp Prism all look pretty stupid now.

Ah, Reddits sensationalism strikes once again.

Now lets see if they even have the humility to delete their post full of vitriol and at least apologize

"Slick marketing" L-O-L

He lied about Warp Prism's origins for promotion. That's what made people upset in the first place. Look at this: http://imgur.com/qtes1

It was deceitful.

How is that lying? Did you even read the article? He had something already from a failed startup, fast forward a few months he found him self at that problem then he realized he already had something to work with and thus created Warp-prism...

The only thing "deceitful" this guy has done is use an alias
