Maybe I’m missing something, but what happened to the list of streams on the right side of the page?
I’m working on it! I’ve got all the code figured out… just waiting for Kineda to get back online.
They’ll get it back. Patient is the key.
Nice work Jaxel. Any way to have a direct link per event stream that directs to the actual justin/ustream/whatever page with the video on it?
Also, the mini screenshots of the currently online streams was a nice feature. Not sure if you’ll be able to port that code over, but if you could it’d be great.
The direct link to the justin/ustream/whatever is on the event page.
The screenshots are definitely doable, I will look into doing it sometime next week… right now I’m importing the old media DB and its taking time.
I’d like to see a return to the calendar on the front page with upcoming streams. “Today’s Streams” are nice, but what if I want an early preview of tomorrow’s streams or this weekend’s streams?

Today’s Streams are not even “Today’s” streams… its streams starting in the next 6 hours.
I saw that before. It was just more convenient on the front page. That way I don’t have to “look for it” and that way new members can immediately see it without people having to tell them it’s there.
they are on the front page!
Sorry I guess I’m not being clear. What I mean is not just today’s streams (which is what it looks like). “Upcoming streams” used to include the next X streams (X = ~10?) which could be today, tomorrow, or the next day. There was also an easy calendar to check on… let’s say Wednesday to see if there was a stream on Saturday. I know the calendar is still available, but you have to look for it and people new to SRK may not know it’s there.
Honestly i dont think that is that important.
If you want to know whats upcoming, you are going to have to look at the calendar and be a little bit less lazy.
It’s not just about being lazy. For people who know about it, it IS a convenience thing, but for new people they legitimately don’t know about it. I’ll agree, though, that it’s probably not a top priority.
Great, looking forward to it. Maybe clicking the screenshot will take you directly to the stream site page while the stream event name text stays directed to the event page?
That seems kind of short. Was the stream list on the old site really only displaying events within 6 hours of their scheduled start time?
No, it wasn’t. It will show only the top 5 live stream that was posted ahead. If the stream is 9PM. Then, you’ll be able to see it all day. From 12AM till 11:59PM until it actually started. If I am not mistaken, the new one is only 6 hours of their scheduled start time. Hopefully, this answers your question. Jaxel has the full answer to these.
6 hours is the default… I have programmed the function to accept any number of hours. If Wiz wants to set it to 12 hours, or 24 hours, he could. However, that could clutter up the stream list.
