Starcraft 2 Commercial Player
The TwitchTV Commercial Runner is an application, designed for Starcraft 2, to automate the process of playing commercials for your viewers. It's intended for both players and casters casting live games.
Allows customization, so you can run some 1 commercial for short games, and more commercials for longer games. Won't spam your stream either from disconnects since it'll detect a minimum required game time.
Does not do any Starcraft 2 hacking (that way I can actually open source it!). Simply listens for a replay to be written, checks how long your game was, and plays the appropriate number of commercials. Even accommodates the viewers that are on the delayed, trans-coded streams by apply a proper delay first.
Latest Version: 2.0.0
Last Updated: 9/25/2012
Github for all source code.
Download the latest version.
Reddit release post.
Require's .NET 4.0 Client Profile. The installer should detect and install everything for you.

Watching for a replay, then parsing it for the game's length is awesome. That's a clever workaround.

It has it's drawbacks. I have the ability to tell when you're out of game, similar to R1CH's XSplit Scene switcher, but open sourcing code that reads SC2 memory is a bit iffy.
The problem here is that it doesn't really work for casters who cast replays, and may freak out if you decide to copy-paste a bunch of replays into your folder. Neither of these should be show-stoppers though.

I think this would be way better for the viewers... But will the streamers actually use it is another question.
|
Amazing, I was wondering when this was coming out. I can imagine just about every streamer will use this, and create a better expereience for both parties.

Looks cool, no more ads in the middle of fights?

Updated to Beta v0.6 and includes suggestions from the reddit thread.
Changes
* Added admin rights to installer to allow .NET and VC++ to install when necessary.
* Included VC++ 2010 Redistributable in installer - Required for MPQLib.dll
* FEATURE: Added more options for commercial delay.
* FEATURE: Added options for minimum game time required to play a commercial.
* BUGFIX: Short games (<1 minute) were still playing commercials.

Will use this! Thanks so much for this ^_^~
|
Huge, huge update.
Changes
* Everything.
The UI was improved, you can now minimize to the notification tray, simpler log in process, the installer actually works, and better default rules with better customization. It's much simpler to customize as well this time around.
I posted the release on reddit, but I know several players have been using the older version of this for the last month. Hope you enjoy!
Also, feel free to read through the Wiki for more information.

Thank you for updating, I would not have updated otherwise!
Again, I'm incredibly surprised this app is not getting as much attention as I think it deserves.
Thanks again ^_^

Speaking of which, the new version will notify you if there's an update. So you don't have to rely on me anymore!

Wow sounds like a pretty sweet program. Glad that our community is so awesome that there are people out there like you who think of stuff like this. GJ

Starcraft 2 Commercial Player has been updated to 2.0
Changes:
* Full Redesign.
* Login opens separately in a browser (fixes IE8-related issues)
* Show Overlay is now available directly in the app as an option.
* Better updating
* Updated to work with SC2 1.5.3 and below.
Remember, this is intended for featured streamers (no need to play commercials otherwise) and currently only works with Twitch. I'm currently researching and considering adding Own3d support in the future as well.
This version should be much friendlier for featured streamers who want to run this now. All the updated source code has been uploaded to Github and you can download the latest version on the updated project site.
If you come across any issues, feel free to either report here or on Github.

Very nice, own3d support would be awesome :D.
