Thanks to our testers and community for the continued support!

The End...

Glimesh is closing. While this is the end for the public service, custom versions of Glimesh can still be used. As as result, Glimboi has adapted to allow for custom server URLs. This means that you can use Glimboi with new versions of Glimesh!

Features

  • Allow custom server URLs in the integrations page.
    • You can now change the URL, HTTP/S, and the client ID
    • Glimboi will use the main glimesh.tv server by default. If you are not planning on using a custom version, no action is required
    • You should avoid using the same data on different servers. It will cause weird issues, and likely crashes/instability.

Custom Servers

  1. Export your bot data! The easiest way to do this is to use the export tool on the Integrations page. You can export all the .db files. If you also want to archive your cache/settings, copy the cache.json (see next step) in the Glimboi data folder.
    • Feel free to look through these files. Most of them are human-readable!
  1. Delete your current bot data. You can delete the data by deleting the Glimboi data folder. Click on the Edit Database button on the Integrations page. Accept the warning, and delete everything from this folder. There is no going back, so make sure you have a backup! (Here is where you can copy any extra files that were not included in the backup. Cache.json is the primary target, but you may have older files from early Glimboi versions you wish to save)
  2. Enter server connection info on the Integrations page.
    • Url: The root URL. Only include the base of the URL. Do not include an ending /, http:// or anything else. Valid entries are glimesh.tv, mywebsite.net, localhost:4000, etc.
    • Use HTTPs. Check this if you want to use HTTPs (SSL / Encryption). The server must support it.
    • Client ID. A client ID can be obtained via the Dev Applications page on the Glimesh website. This can be found in the Glimesh settings. Create a new dev app. The fields can be anything you want, but you must have a redirect URL of exactly http://localhost:3000. Once created, copy your ID into the bot. Do not use the secret key.
      Access Applications via Glimesh Settings
      Default form fields for dev app
      Copy the client ID only
  1. Save your changes.
  2. Restart the bot. (close and re-open, or use the reload icon on the top right)
  3. Authorize the bot. You will be prompted to sign in, similar to how it used to work.
  4. Once authorized, connect to chat and begin streaming!

If you wish to return to the main server (while it is still active), you may do so. Remember to make a backup and delete the old data! The default fields are below:

  • Url: glimesh.tv
  • Use HTTPs: true,
  • Client ID: 468920e4-d88f-46ee-bbf6-94bed88d8872

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where the View Database button failed to load the DB on windows.

The Future

  • Glimboi will not be made to work on any other platform. This is the final update.
  • Glimboi will work on current versions of Glimesh. However, updates to your custom Glimesh instance may break this compatibility. I will not release fixes for future versions. However, I can offer guidance. I won't push any changes to this repo, but I can suggest changes for your own fork.
  • Its been a great 3 years. Glimesh didn't turn out how we wanted, but we still had a lot of great experiences. Thanks to all of our contributors, testers, and users. We made something great! Its been a pleasure to work on this project. Regardless of where your streaming journey takes you (or if its ending), I hope you find happiness.
