I already explained in the OP why we don't embed streams at the top of threads anymore. If an event organizer wants to have streams in their thread, they can put it in the OP; which also allows them to have multiple streams.

Okay, support for Ustream.TV and Livestream have been added, with some limitations. Ustream and Livestream's APIs support getting channel information, but they do not support live stream scraping. So you can submit channels on those services (to embed the chatroom on the forums), but they will never show up as live streams in the live stream list... until those websites update their APIs.
In addition, the Ustream submissions only support Ustream's TRUE URLs, not their vanity URLs. For instance, the channel:
Will not work... this is because that is not the true URL of that channel, its a vanity URL. There is no way for the system to know the proper place to get that channel's information. So if you wanted to embed that channel, you would have to use one of that channel's true URLs:
Thankfully though, you can get the true URL by clicking the SHARE > LINK URL button on player block for a channel.
In addition, for unapproved channels, if you wish to use the manual embed, the following is NOT enough:
You actually need to provide additional info in the form of the channel ID:
This is once again, because Ustream's API sucks and hasn't been updated in 4 years.
In addition, the Ustream submissions only support Ustream's TRUE URLs, not their vanity URLs. For instance, the channel:
Code:
http://www.ustream.tv/leolaporte
Code:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/leo-laporte-live
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/1524In addition, for unapproved channels, if you wish to use the manual embed, the following is NOT enough:
Code:
[stream=ustream]leo-laporte-live[/stream]
Code:

Hey guys, I've made some more changes to my stream browser:
http://8wayrun.com/streams/
Now there are "category" options. I have 2 categories set up right now: 3D fighters and 2D fighters... but I can add more categories if I wish. Live streams are routed into those categories depending on which games the live streams are currently listed as playing.
http://8wayrun.com/streams/2d-fighters.2/category
http://8wayrun.com/streams/3d-fighters.1/category
In the past, I have restricted people from submitting channels that don't play 3D fighting games. It was to put emphasis on only 3D fighting games. Now, ANYONE who plays fighting games may submit their channel to the approved channels list.
