IRC Commands

  • !next - When's the next live show?
  • !schedule - What shows are being recorded live in the next seven days?
  • !suggest - Be heard. Suggest a title for the live show.
  • !link - Know the link for that? Suggest it and make the show better.
  • !current - What's playing on 5by5.tv/live? I've got you covered.
  • !last_status - The last tweet by @5by5, delivered to you in IRC. Sweet.
  • !about - Was showbot coded or did it spontaneously come into existence?
  • !help - Uh, this.

Setup and Customization

Prerequisites

Setup

These commands will get you setup to run Showbot.

  • git clone https://github.com/mutewinter/Showbot.git
  • cd Showbot
  • bundle
  • rake db:migrate

Configuring IRC

data.json

data.json is a file served specifically by 5by5.tv that indicates which show is live. It is currently integrated with title suggestions so that the currently playing show is fetched and saved in the database when a title is suggested.

If you want to remove the functionality provided by data.json, you will need to start by removing the before create hook in suggestion.rb. To avoid the "Show Not Listed" message you'll want to remove the suggestion set break in _table_set.haml and _bubble_set.haml.

Modifying the CSS

Modifying showbot.scss requires that you start the rake sass:watch command. While this command is running, public/showbot.css will be overwritten with any changes that are made in showbot.scss. This annoying setup is necessary due to Bourbon not working well outside of the Rails asset pipeline.

Data.json

5by5.tv uses a JSON API to provide details about which show is live. When a title is suggested, this JSON API is queried and the show that the title was suggested during is attached to the suggestion.

The format of 5by5.tv's JSON is as follows:

  {
    'live': true,
    'broadcast': {
      'slug': 'show_slug_here'
    }
  }

The 'show_slug_here' is the value read and attached to the title suggestion.

Launching Showbot

Special Thanks

  • Special thanks to Rikai for reverse-engineering the setup steps for someone setting up Showbot from scratch.
  • To gouwens for implementing the clustered view.
