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.

The pages look the same, just making sure it is correct to have both.

Twitch.php is the old file from before the mod was renamed - you can safely delete it. You can verify this by looking in the latest zip download; you'll see there's no twitch.php file in there at all.

The ID I entered is UCOzc04eg4hGpXfF8GvBbNyg


Do you know what could be wrong ? Thanks

Hi there,

Could you please post the error message you receive?

Changed Features:

• A fresh copy of the jQuery library is now only downloaded if one has not been downloaded previously. Requires updating of all other affected DBTech mods to take full effect.

Live Streaming Suite v3.1.3:
Fix: Implemented a change to comply with Twitch’s API change

I realize that this mod is a little older and hasn't seen much activity here, but I've downloaded, installed and began some testing to see if our members like it, before considering any paid version.

I have everything setup on both Twitch and YouTube, as well as configured AdminCP settings for them.

They both work locally on Twitch and YouTube sites, indicating they're streaming video correctly, but when I click on either from our site, nothing appears at all for Twitch and YouTube throws shows "An Error Occurred .. Please try Later" when you click play button.

Has anyone successfully got either of these services working with this mod, or have YouTube and Twitch changed some API's or something else, that negates its use now?

Thanks...

Regards,
Doug

The reason why they are blank is that the channel does not have a background image for when it's offline (Twitch) and it has never been seen online (YouTube).

Can you please make sure the mod sees each of those channels online at least once, then try again? You can do this by bringing the streams online, then refreshing that page until you see both of them display as online in the mod.

Ok, added background image for Twitch... shows up fine off-line... still nothing showing through mod interface....

YouTube is streaming fine locally, but get an error every time I click on Play Button to view the stream.

Thanks anyway ..

Doug
