Mac version development continues.

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Development on the mac version of StreamDesk has continued thanks to @JavaWizKid joining the project. As of current no release date is set... keep a eye on @StreamDesk & @StreamDesk_Dev to keep up to date on mac app development

Many thanks to Ronan for joining the project and allowing the mac version to live on.

Mac version support discontinued

Fri, 06 May 2011

As of today the Mac Version of StreamDesk is unsupported. If someone would like to help develop a version of StreamDesk for the Mac, we would appreciate the support and would welcome you into the team. But do to time constraints, current programmers programming expertise, and technological differences between the supported platforms (Windows, Linux) we sadly had to make the decision of killing OS X Support indefinitely until a developer can take over the workload in the OS X Development.

If you are a Mac OS X developer and you want to take over please contact @streamdesk_dev on twitter.

Contact & Requests

Sun, 17 Apr 2011

We are aware that the requests and contact form may not be sending email and are looking into it. The submissions are also saved so we will still get them so don't worry.

Licence Change

Fri, 15 Apr 2011

The licence has been changed to the Apache 2.0 licence to allow for a more rich and free development community to form around the project. What does this mean to the average user... not much but to the developer community this is a major step.

Btw check out the new Developers page ;)

Site Transition

Thu, 14 Apr 2011

The site has been transfered to SourceForge project web in order to provide a faster and more stable experence. Eveything has been done to make this transition as smooth as possible but bugs may sneak up and I will handle them in a case by case basis.

Edit: Downloads now moved back to SourceForge inlcuding back releases.

Wed, 16 Mar 2011

End of life for all windows versions below 2.1

Tue, 12 Oct 2010

On October 31 database support for all versions below 2.1 will cease to exist. Those who hasn't upgraded will no longer be able to use the application until they upgrade to latest.

This change is due to the fact that the database update has now moved to sourceforge with the open source release of 2.1. With this file move that leaves the file on this site as being unmaintained.

Please upgrade ASAP (oh and pass this on)

StreamDesk is now Open Source

Wed, 25 Aug 2010

After much consideration it has been decided to take StreamDesk open source under the LGPL v3 licence. This will apply to all versions 2.1 or better due to new systems that are being put in place in the OSS versions.

The project page has bee setup at https://sourceforge.net/projects/streamdesk/.

This move should help with further development of the project since the code of new versions will not be shrowded in mystery but be in the clear. Also this means that other devlopers can help make the project better. So bug reports will be even more ecouraged 2.1 on and on.

Thanks for all your years of support.

Recent changes and bugs

Sat, 20 Feb 2010

First off yes I am aware of the The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly bug... It seems to be a isolated bug that effects select machines running XP Pro and it is being looked into right now.

Next off change in the ustream embed code... Many of you enjoyed the fact that StreamDesk didn't show ustream.tv ads. Well due to recent issues I had no choice but to go to the current embed code thus the ads. Being a small time dev I don't got the funds to face any potential issues that Ustream could bring up.

I hope you fellow users can understand my position.

Broken chat & other issues.

Thu, 19 Nov 2009

Yes i know about the broken Wyldryde chat (More noticed by Chris Pirillo fans)... it is broken due to a network split between server owners/most of staff and Wyldryde. This will be fixed in 2.0 (in active development).

The other known errors are in the full post. (Via the "Read More" link)

Hotlinking

Fri, 13 Nov 2009

I've recently notice that people were downloading StreamDesk via direct linkining and bypassing the site. Not everyone understands the damange of hotlinking.

I've since applied anti-leech protection to the downloads.

Ad-free & Donations

Thu, 12 Nov 2009

In the time frame i've had ads on the site I have heard many people say they would be willing to donate to help suppport a site if it was ad-free.

With the re-launch of the site it has gone ad-free now now and now has a area to donate if you want. Remmeber if this product/site is to survive community support is requred since hosting/domain names is not free.
