Over the last week, starting on launch day, @scy has been helping us to make #TIBtv better for you and for artists. A huge debt of thanks to them for all of the help. Here's what we've improved in a week: - custom css and js to enable now playing info (now 100% fancier) below the video on the site - custom css and js to enable scrobbing with PanoScrobbler - a WebScrobbler connector (will take time in their release process) - a chat bot that posts now playing in chat when new tracks play ๐Ÿคฏ ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Does anyone know how to control the opengraph social card for #owncast servers or make the server update the thumbnail image every time a link is posted? See what happens below when I paste this link into this post:

 That preview below has been stuck with the same image for days. Any way to kick it into action? Or to get the animated gif that happens when the federated account posts a "going live" message?
Hey #musicians on #TIBtv A few artists have asked about adding their fedi handle to the @npub1j2q6...mchg posts so people can find artists. If you want your handle added when your tracks play, please ping me in private reply and I will add you! You can opt out later if you want. Also... we already have this capability for the radio bot @npub1e700...9p3q so let me know if you want to be included there as well. I need your fedi handle and artist name (if different).
One more chance to catch the #TIBtv launch at 0400 UTC which is 11pm EST... That is 1 hour from now! Don't miss it! It is excellent thanks to @Roberta Fidora for animating our launch!

Hey! #demoscene people... is there any interest by demo coders to submit videos for our animation array slot on #TheIndieBeatTelevision?? If you know anyone in the scene please ask them to check out:
Roberta Fidora - Animation Array
Animation Array. Roberta Fidora, an alternative, experimental, indie artist from Ryde, Isle of Wight
 โ™ป๏ธ As a viewer, I am definitely interested in watching and listening: demoscene has always been as much about the #chiptune music for me as well as the #graphics. Who knows, if there is enough interest and material, maybe we could have an expanded time slot. #TIBtv
This message is for the musical artists, animators, and video artists who follow me (or maybe you know someone). We are building a 24x7 indie music video and animation channel and you are invited to submit material! More info here:
