Miscellaneous Hacks - [DBTech] Live Streaming Suite v3 (vB4)

Live Streaming Suite lets you host a directory of your forum's Twitch.Tv or YouTube channels, complete with stream status, live previews and direct links to users' streams!


Why use Live Streaming Suite?

If you run a gaming forum, and a lot of your users stream content, you know it can be hard to get good exposure on Twitch.tv or YouTube for your members' channels. This mod can help boost your members' exposure by letting them add their own channels to your directory, displaying them in a nice easy-to-browse interface with multiple features that allows viewers to find your channels easily.

You can also use this mod to promote your favourite streamers by adding channels via the AdminCP.

Would you be able to make something like this for General Streams From websites at all Sir?

What other streaming services are popular? We can always look into it for future versions, but from my understanding Twitch.tv is the go-to site for streaming.

thanks...worked but are there permissions I need to change? Everything installed fine and now when going to the page I get

"you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."

no toggle under Admin permissions...

[DragonByte Tech]

Yes, there are usergroup permissions you need to configure

We still need specifics, because of how the backend works, they either need apis or something to expose for us to take advantage. Twitch happens to do just that. We can pass it some data and it passes it back.
