One form. Your whole show.

Stream EVE Today

Answer the questions below one step at a time, starting from the Pixel Pals example. You come out with a stream website that updates itself: a schedule and countdown, an episode archive, and the plugins you pick for overlays, thumbnails and YouTube uploads. You don't need to be technical.

  1. Fill in this page
  2. Save your show.json
  3. Run the setup tool on your server

What you need: a rented server, a website address and a Twitch channel. YouTube and Discord are optional; step 8 shows where to find each ID. Nothing you type here leaves this page.

1

Pick a start

Begin from the Pixel Pals example and change what you need, start empty, or load a show.json you saved before.

2

Your show

The name, address and Twitch channel. These appear on every page of the site.

Up to 28 characters. It is the logo text in the header.
Lowercase letters and digits. Filled from the name until you change it.
The address alone: no https:// and no slash.
The name after twitch.tv/
Shown beside times. Schedule times below are always UTC.
3

Host and About page

Who runs the show, and a few short paragraphs for the About page.

About paragraphs
4

Kinds of show

Each kind gets a color tag. The site files a Discord event under a kind when the event's title contains one of that kind's keywords.

5

Weekly schedule

The site uses these when your Discord events aren't connected. Enter times in UTC; your local time is shown beside each one.

6

Ticker and guests

Ticker lines scroll along the bottom bar when nothing live is coming in. Guests are optional: list past guests by topic, and set a goal if you are counting.

Ticker lines
Guest groupsOne guest per line. Add an organization after a bar: Juno Park | Pixel Guild

Look

Keep the Pixel Pals look, or pick your own four colors and a font style. The preview updates as you go.

Replaces the text logo. A wide image about 4:1 works best.
8

Connections and plugins

These IDs let the site read your Twitch, YouTube and Discord. None of them are secret. Leave any empty to switch that part off for now.

From dev.twitch.tv, your app's page.
Starts with UC. YouTube settings, Advanced.
Right-click the server name, Copy Server ID.
Optional. Its posts feed the ticker.
Optional. Any RSS feed.
Owner and name of your copy on GitHub, as in github.com/yourname/stream-eve-today. Your site updates itself from it, and the runbook links to it.
Plugins
9

Your Discord

Optional. New members see these when they join your Discord: a welcome message, and onboarding questions whose answers hand out roles and channels. You copy them into Discord yourself for now, and the Discord guide (step 5) shows where. A later Discord plugin will set them for you.

A welcome message and two questions, with one answer per kind of show.
Post it in your #welcome channel: a short hello and your rules, up to 2000 characters.
Onboarding questionsYou can add up to 5. Each answer can give roles (like Live Pings) and show channels (like general). Make those roles and channels in Discord first, with the same names.

Review and save

This list shows each problem; select one to jump to it. When the list is clear, save your show.json.


      

        
        
        
      

      
Next: upload show.json to your GitHub copy (Add file, Upload files, Commit changes). If your site is already running, it updates itself within 5 minutes. If not, the server guide sets it up, and the server runs the same checks as this page.
