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.

Any solution for this?

Do you have mbstring and iconv installed on your server?

Good evening,

We are struggling to get this mod installed. We are running vB 4.2.2. We are using quite a few other vB mods from dbtech and have had no issues.

The files appear to be installed in the correct areas and the product is properly installed onto the forums.

We are not seeing any type of adminCP link like the rest of your other dbtech mods have. We are also unable to see it at all from a direct link on our forums.

I'm sure you'll need more information from me, so please ask.

Thank you in advance for any assistance we can get!

update: we were able to get it installed. However, it says we do not have access to the channel. I've looked everywhere for a way to adjust it and we just don't see it. There is not a permissions tab in the admincp, and when we access the direct link it says we cannot access it, even as admins.

update: issue fixed! Nice mod! Installed and MOTM vote!

Great Mod!

If you can add Ustream, would be awesome considering both works with new consoles.

Hope this is still being worked on, vbulletin really needs a good twitchTV mod.

Nice integration

[mitchelltrout]

very nice, we had our own custom coded twitch.tv integration but this is much cleaner! only thing we are missing now is a forum sidebar block to display currently online streamers. any way you can add this?
