Been working on these 2 projects and they actually sort of work together in a cool way, basically imagine a BBS chat room where it can tune a station, broadcasted by someone with whatever they want to stream, live, with automatic closed captioning, is being rendered using ANSI glyphs in true color synced across users with no drift. I think of it as a
virtual BBS couch.

...movie nights, tv marathons, gaming streams, webcams, experiments.
Interesting. However, there are legal considerations when it comes to rebroadcasting commercial programming you mightFor sure - What I'm doing right now rebroadcasting stuff that anyone with antenna could get is a lot less problematic for
want to consider.
Yeah, it's running on futureland.today - you can see the telnetvision
door running before login and also afterwards by navigating to Apps -> Telnetvision.
if one were to play around with the broadcaster in an attempt to create their own channel/relay it can work cross domain and be sticky to a chat room, so like if you were to get the broadcaster / relay setup with
ports open on 20forbeers.com on a channel called 'pauliecast' - you
could make a room on futureland.today
None of my counterpoints mean I think I'm in the clear, definitely consider risk, that's why I'm broadcasting local NBC
versus something that is subsidized by cable subscriptions like ESPN, which is sketchier. Good advice - always consider
risk...

There's a bit more to the update below, but in short the projects are here and there if you want to try or look for the bite sized details: https://github.com/hmderdoc/telnetvision and https://github.com/hmderdoc/avatar_chat_universal

It's only illegal if you get caught! :) Besides, who's going to know about it but a small group of old hackers?
Love it - super impressive over a terminal soft. Thanks for sharing, and its cool that you put the source up on git. NiCE!!
This is sick - maybe I'll have to spin a channel up!!
Also, I'm super impressed w/ futureland.today BBS - very cool creation, Hm - I made a post about it on 2oFB so others know... these gems of BBSes need to be talked about so other users know about the impressive ones. Great w0rk!!
Oh gosh, I wouldn't be w0rried about that - stream whatever the heck you like!
Any chance of a Win32 version?
Any chance of a Win32 version?
There is a windows32 of avatar chat I believe but maybe not the
telnetvision code (relay / door). The broadcaster portion of
telnetvision uses python so long as your machine can run that you
can broadcast. If you email me, I can send you a key if you want
to connect to my relay. But I'll also look into windows32
compatibility now, the relay being the main priority because
AvatarChat universal should run on windows 32 last I checked and hopefully can tune to TV. I'll ping you when I have some new builds, hopefully
not too long here.
Ok - it's ready, I probably should have just done it and then responded given how long it took.

I'd love to get this working, but either it or I need some serious help...
Yeah, I don't think anyone will find out or care unless you did something really bold like take pay per view television and broadcast it - but I'd say only if you advertise and put it in front of your login (which I'm doing with my mod right now). I think if someone has to go through the effort login and launch a door the chance drops to zilch unless some
user wants to be vindictive - but even then I don't think it's very high risk, there are defenses and government has better things to do
I'm using python 3.13.13.

Is anyone using telnetvision with a windows machine and sockets? I only get console output, which isn't cutting it for me. As a last resort, I could use my sbbs gameserer, but I'd like to run this natively on my EleBBS! Would be the same as a Mystic Windows system.

I'm wondering if the email I tried to send you went out, cause I checked
my sent mail folder and I don't see it. If you didn't get my email,
let me know and I'll see if I can dig up the entire details,
but in essence I pushed up a new python version of the broadcaster
which should support Windows (the termios problem you noted) and
there is a newer 32 bit version of the door in the releases which
I tried to add socket support to per your email. I also sent you
some relay information of mine* (in case you wanted to skip step 2, in
order to test step 1) - it's basically a 3 step process: 1. Broadcast (python running on computer with video signal) 2. Relay (daemon
running on a server to receive broadcast frames) 3. Consume (Run telnetvision / avatar_chat_universal [in a tv room**]
Anyways, I updated 2 things based on what you've reported, with regards to #1 broadcasting I updated the python libraries for windows so it
won't choke, pull the latest changes from the repository which have
the python scripts and try re-rerunning. If you need a test relay
#2 you can use mine, just I'll send you (*) creds privately,
or you can set your own up - just mainly breaking things into
testable sections and #2 is the most "plumbing-oriented" feel free to
borrow mine. #3 is what I think you're referring to as far as the issue with sockets, I tried to run with that information and make a new
version of the telnetvision that supports sockets so check that out
in the releases section.
I though that Avatar Chat universal might support sockets already - I'll have to double check perhaps, but in any event you can also tune into
TV with the new versions of that - you'd join a channel and you can
use this syntax `/tvtuner futureland.today 7601 cam` and that would
tune a chat room to a station at a relay hosted at
`futureland.today` port `7601` on the `cam` channel.
Let me know if you've had a chance to look at the latest changes and if
you want to connect to my relay server or anything if that part is
giving you issues. Hopefully the new stuff and some of the debugging
info above gets a bit closer to solving this for you.

<FACEPALM> - I forgot to tag the new build on github, so the new release
binaries weren't generated. Apologies for the idiocy. Should be part of the explanation - latest build was never published, 0.1.2 is
available now and at least the things about sockets I said I did are actually there. <yikes>
