[DR] Live Streams

[[R] NuclearGeneral]

LIVE STREAMS -- v1.0

 

This application will allow you to create your very own Live Stream system that rivals pretty much any live stream application/page out there today. What this application does is allow anyone you specify based on permissions to submit their own Streams. Right now this system supports Twitch.TV and others are going to be added shortly down the road.. The user will submit their Stream Name or the URL of the stream which is then parsed and displayed in the Stream Listing/Grid page.

This is done by collecting various information from that channel's source through the API(s) and output for display on the page. The user can then click on any of the submitted streams to be taken to the Stream's Display which contains the video feed. From this screen, you can watch the stream, toggle the embedded chat and chat if you have a twitch/justin.tv account, comment on the streams and rate them as well. There are also 3 buttons that you can click to take you to the actual feed on the Twitch.TV site, add a stream and finally, a "DIM" button which is a sexy feature that will dim everything around the video for easier viewing.

 

This application comes with an application menu that has an Overview Page, Settings Page and a Converter page for those that have the IP.Content version of this app. It also has 30+ settings for complete control over the application from requiring submission approval to enable/disabling a box-shadow of streams that are unapproved and much much more.
