Teeworlds Twitch streams list
twitch.tv/phratrydeicide
Hi all,
I was pondering on alternative ways to make Teeworlds more popular. My idea is for everyone sharing their Twitch channels. We would all follow each other and get the followers counts up. Most likely, we'll end up only in the tens and optimistically hundreds of viewers but our goal will be to reach the front page of Twitch, which can be anywhere from 2.000 to 8.000 viewers.
Further, I was also thinking about a site/page using this modified version of this code which shows online status of a stream, taken from here for PHP:
<?php
if( isset( $_GET['streamID'] ) ) $streamID = $_GET['streamID'];
else $streamID = '';
if($streamID) {
$stream=safe_query("SELECT * FROM ".PREFIX."streams WHERE streamID='".$streamID."'");
while($ds=mysql_fetch_array($stream)) {
$streamID = $ds['streamID'];
$channel = $ds['channel'];
$title = $ds['title'];
$type = $ds['type'];
$status = $ds['status'];
$viewers = $ds['viewers'];
$thumb = $ds['thumb'];
$chat = $ds['chat'];
if($type == 1) $chatz = '<div style="float:left;"><iframe width="650" height="400" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" id="chat_embed" src="http://twitch.tv/chat/embed?channel='.$chat.'&popout_chat=true"></iframe></div>';
// Advertising
$allbanner = safe_query("SELECT * FROM ".PREFIX."bannerrotation WHERE displayed='1' AND bannertype='1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,1");
$total = mysql_num_rows($allbanner);
if($total) {
$banner = mysql_fetch_array($allbanner);
$pub = '<div style="width:650px; height:80px; margin:10px 0px 10px 10px; float:left;"><a href="ads/out/'.$banner['bannerID'].'/" target="_blank"><img style="width:650px;" src="./images/bannerrotation/'.$banner['banner'].'" border="0" alt="'.htmlspecialchars($banner['bannername']).'" /></a></div>';
}
else $pub = '';
eval("\$title_stream = \"".gettemplate("stream_header")."\";");
echo $title_stream;
if($type == 1) echo '<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="360" width="670" id="live_embed_player_flash" data="http://en.twitch.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf?channel='.$channel.'" bgcolor="#000000"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="movie" value="http://en.twitch.tv/widgets/live_embed_player.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="hostname=en.twitch.tv&channel='.$channel.'&auto_play=true&start_volume=25" /></object>'.$pub.'';

?>An alternative with WordPress is here. Another alternative with HTML + Javascript is here, though I neither know how this one works or if it works at all, safely.
Of course, we can all go through this list, but the problem is that it doesn't show all channels (it surely doesn't show mine even with proper tagging, titles, etc.) so it could be a bit problematic.
Anyway, reply with your Twitch stream and we can start having some solid following. I'll see what I can do to keep the top post updated with the full list.
(Perhaps this post ought to be moved to Community News subforum. If mods can edit to update the list, that'd be great too.)
