Spotter Network Affiliated Streamers

[Adam Simone]

I was just curious about this. I was following the storms using GR3 and I noticed not nearly as many streamers were showing up as usual. It looked like just Severe Studios streamers were on there. Are the new iMap guys not putting their position through SN anymore? It was kind of nice when all of the SS and ChaserTV guys were on there, it made it easier to track which streamers I wanted to watch.

Could be any number of reasons.

-not sure if the iMap switch over on CTV is affecting the lower icon count
-some chasers no longer stream unless they absolutely have something to stream
-some chasers not posting their position to prevent leeches (see recent thread on the topic).
-in areas where storms have already compromised cell towers (battery back-ups in storm ravaged areas already depleted and no commercial power)

or any number of reasons I can't think of.

I know that SN has changed some of the links around for their placefiles... the one I used no longer is a valid link

My limited understanding is there is a problem with the interface between SN and iMap.

I'm not in control of CTV anymore so not sure how they are doing that however I do know that iMap does it differently then either CTV or SS did.

I saw CTV & iMap streamers (LB & Nick) indicated by video icons on each of them for their MI chase tonight.

Yeah, we've had a couple changes recently and Tyler has been very accommodating. We were working through the bugs, but things appear to be working. Sorry for the inconvenience.
