"content": "- The other week I made this **web-only version of Social Stream Ninja**, which I'm calling the \"lite\" version\n - it only works with Youtube, Twitch, and Kick, however there might be some lingering issues with Youtube permissions I'm sorting out still\n - it is compatible with the dock.html and other custom overlay pages, but it is very restricted in features and functions overall - very basic.\n - it can work on mobile without a computer also; you can full screen the chat from the page and get basic consolidated chat that way\n** It's available for testing and I am seeking feedback: https://socialstream.ninja/lite\n\nWhy did I add this? Some users requested a simple web-only version, for mobile use or some users get easily overwhelmed with options. I'll improve based on feedback.\n\n- I've pushed many small updates over the last few weeks, focusing mainly on fixing bugs and adding polish though. I've been adding some new follower/subscriber events this week as well, expanding support for those events across more sources. The beta version of SSN, via the websocket-mode for Tiktok, Youtube, Twitch, and Kick, have been my focus and there's a few new events added there now. I'll update in more detail once I confirm what actually works after completing some lengthly testing.",

[Podcast Studio is still a WIP}\n - Studio disk capture workflow enforces File System Access permissions, exposes toggle/folder status, and is backed by a published ISO-recording roadmap. \n - Cloud sync + Dropbox for Podcast Studio\n- Queue/approval UX gained a louder knock tone, pulsing queue badge/button states, and snapshot sync so co-directors inherit pending knocks immediately. \n- Wake-lock handling now arms on first pointer/key press, tracks release events, and falls back to a micro keep-alive video on mobile so sessions stay awake.\n- Publishers can set `&prefervideocodec=` to bias SDP codec order for every new peer while leaving viewer overrides intact\n- `&pip` and `&pipme` fixes for recent Chrome updates",

"content": "A feature that has been requested a couple times by some advanced users has been a while to provide CUSTOM AUDIO MIXES back to each guest, and it's finally added.\n\nPreviously I just had a PGM/Mic option, two switch between two different audio sources, but now you can select other guests' audio, the director's own mixed input audio, or even the director's individual (active) audio devices.\n\nSo, lets say you wanted every guest to join you, as a director, with &directoronly on their invite link. The guests wouldn't normally be able to see or each anyone, HOWEVER, now they can -- you select the OBS virtual camera as a video source, and do a mix-minus on the audio for each guest, and then everyone will hear and see each other, without having to actually connect to each other. The director needs a bit of a hefty computer for larger rooms, but for smaller rooms, this is a pretty unique production experience.\n\nObviously this is an advanced feature -- users who do it wrong will cause echo and feedback for their guests, but selective mixing is pretty cool. You can perhaps have 3 microphones, as a director, and each guest can get a different audio track from you. If you have 4 virutal audio cables, the director can send each guest their own unique external audio mix.\n\nFurther, if you want to have the full-mix-minus setup by default, add **`&mixminus`** to your URL as a director, and every new guest will hear the mix minus audio from the director. You will want to use this with &directoronly mode (applied to the guests) to avoid echo, or something similar.\n\nSide note, guests can't have their own audio included back into their own mix. This is just a feedback loop, and I just don't allow for it as a result.\n\nThis feature is on alpha for testing: https://vdo.ninja/alpha/",

"content": "ANOTHER NEW THING ... I've created a tipping service, **NinjaBacker.com**, which is now an option in VDO.Ninja, so you can take tips from your viewers or other room guests. \n\nSo, performer can now receive tips directly from your viewers (and other room guests) during streams. This works with both private *intimate* p2p streams, via an integrated tipping button, or with larger streams to YouTube/Twitch, as I include a QR code video overlay option.\n\nYou can also use it on its own and with some other things I have coming out soon; you have your own donation page, such as https://ninjabacker.com/steveseguin\n\n**How to Use**\n\n1. Add &tip=YOUR_TIP_ID to your VDO.Ninja push link to enable tipping:\n https://vdo.ninja/alpha/?push=mystream&tip=YOUR_TIP_ID\n\n2. Viewers need &showtips to see the tip button and/or QR code\n https://vdo.ninja/alpha/?view=mystream&showtips\n\n** Want to Try It Out?**\n\n You can test tipping using my account without signing up:\n `&tip=steveseguin` (just add this to your vdon push link)\n\nSince my account is in test mode, you can use Stripe's test card to donate fake amounts to me:\n- Card: `4242 4242 4242 4242`\n- Expiry: Any future date\n- CVC: Any 3 digits\n\n*(note: you can't donate real amounts to me).*\n\n**Setting Up Your Own *Real* Account**\n\n1. Visit https://ninjabacker.com/register\n2. Create a username and connect your Stripe account\n3. Use your Tip ID from the dashboard with &tip=YOUR_TIP_ID",

(still a minor firefox audio bug on Safari to fix)\n- I made some improvements to the remote-control of focus and PTZ options\n - right-click context menu gives PTZ options, along with a reset auto-focus option (requires &remote to used on both links)\n- added options to the settings -> user menu for revealing the Full Screen and Picture-in-Picture buttons in the control bar\n - it's less work than using URL parameters to enable these options\n - I also made video previews go full screen to match the full window mode, when using the full screen",

Guests stack 2-per-channel when all are full.\n - &autochannels=1,2,3,5 \u2014 only use specific channels\n - &autochannelmode=roundrobin \u2014 cycle instead of least-used\n\n- Guest preferred channel:\n - Guests can request a specific channel with their invite link, using #preferchannel.\n - eg: `?room=ROOM&preferchannel=3` (&pc as an alias)\n - If the director allows that channel, they'll get it. Otherwise falls back to auto-assign.\n\nNote: Scene/view links still need &channels=8 and OBS needs to be set to 7.1 for multitrack output.\n\nsee: https://docs.vdo.ninja/director-settings/autochannels for more details.\n\nEssentially, you can now automatically setup OBS to record each guest in a scene to their own isolated audio channel. Up to 7 channels. No manual assignment needed, unlike before.\n\n** on alpha for testing at vdo.ninja/alpha/",
