I can see that you were able to set the MacOS App Name (as installed) via:

 <AssemblyName>My Stream Timer</AssemblyName>

Which sounds like what I want to do as my app is getting rejected by Apple because the Assembly name is the same as the project name: MyApp.Mac. I would like the app name to be "My App With Spaces" (just like yours).

However, when I modify the to have spaces(<AssemblyName>My App Name With Spaces</AssemblyName>), I get the following compilation errors:

clang : error : no such file or directory: 'App'
clang : error : no such file or directory: 'Name'
clang : error : no such file or directory: 'With'
clang : error : no such file or directory: 'Spaces.exe.dylib'
MMP : error MM3001: Could not AOT the assembly '/Users/benjaminaskren/Development/Xamarin/AssetBuilder/AssetBuilder.Mac/bin/Release/My App Name With Spaces.app/Contents/MonoBundle/My App Name With Spaces.exe'
    6 Warning(s)

I've been digging through your project and I can't see how you did it. So, how did you pull it off?

Application's Certificate is Invalid, probably expired. Unable to run the application when downloaded through MS Store, and manual installation results in this error.

• Create base project
• Implement Protocol
• Implement Dark Theme
• Test upgrade cycle

I would like to know if there are some advanced output formatting options. For example, how can I make a line break?
"Starting in /cr {0:mm:ss}"

Ability to pause instead of just stop/restart.

For resuming a counter between streams or needing to pause during a reset/break etc.

In the count up option to allow starting from a negative time (countdown). This is interesting for movie nights stream or any other stream that you want to facilitate a '0 time'.

I have tested all 3 methods you suggest in the My Timer document, and none of the website links are working with Stream Deck. If I run the same commands from the run menu of Windows it works fine. I realize this is an issue with the Stream Deck and not an issue with your code, but when was the last time you tested on stream deck? I'd just like to see if there is a version that is working with My Tiimer.

In the meantime I've just used the My Stream Timer Extension to give me command line access to the application.

Allow custom fields or pre-defined:

• custom (today)
• hours:minutes:seconds
• total minutes: seconds

Please make an Apple Silicon native build or a Universal macOS build.
The current build needs Rosetta 2 to work.

Thank for your work!

On the latest build of windows, MyStreamTimer is constantly crashing.

I've pasted what I could find for logs on pastebin, let me know if I can test in any way.

Thanks.

Allows to run in background :)

mystreamtimer://countdown/?at=15:30
mystreamtimer://countdown/?topofhour

on UWP, if the application is already open, calling the command does nothing. If it's closed, it works as expected. I'm hoping to automate the beginning of a countdown, but I can't guarantee that the application will be open or closed when the command is called.

Currently when the timer finishes, the text is aligned left. So if you have it positioned on the right side of the stream scene, the finish text is cut off as more characters are added.

Allowing the test to align right would mean the text gets 'pushed' left, rather then right when there is more characters.

Edit: Ignore this I legit forgot how OBS text works!

Edit: OBS's text align didn't actually do anything for this. So maybe not as dumb as I thought!

Is it possible to add milliseconds in output (i.e. {0:hh:mm:ss.fff} )?

When using a countdown to a specific time some timecodes are skipped.
On a 2-minute countdown numbers (1:44 01:04, 00:07, 00:03, 00:02) where skipped. Another time numbers (1:44, 00:53, 00:02) were skipped. Sometimes it straight goes like from 00:04 to 00:02 in time of 1 second. Sometimes it freezes for 2 seconds like from 00:04 to 00:02.

I am using macOS Big Sur 11.6 on Mac Pro 5.1.

@jamesmontemagno
Currently all files are in C:\ProgramData\MyStreamTimer

could you allow use to save these in a custom location?

When i tried to install from https://mystreamtimer.azurewebsites.net/
it says I need to install a certificate first. Tried to install the certificate provided in the same page but even after installing the certificate I get the same result. Error code 0x800B0109

Sure would be swell to just be able to see the local time.

I'm using two timers. One to countdown when I'm going to go live, and a second for when I take a 5 minute break during stream. I've noticed that if I don't close the timer after my go live timer, I can't start my 5 minute timer when I go on a break. Is there a way to either close the timer at the end, or allow the new passed command to supersede the previous command (IE a 5 minute command would start a 5 minute timer even if you started with a top of hour timer).

Let me know if that doesn't make sense, I realize this might be an edge case, but wanted to submit it as a feature request.

Thanks.

I have constant problems with Microsoft store (downloading errors), so could you please make standalone exe file for windows, please!

Hi there! I was wondering if it is possible to use the website or command-line options to add time to an existing timer? I'm looking to use this awesome utility for a challenge idea for my streams where it starts at a certain time and every time I forget to do something, I have to add a minute. I know this can be done with a button but not on a command I could tie to a Stream Deck button. Is this possible or something that could be added?

Thanks for your great work!

Just downloaded it from MS Store - great software! Love it!

But... I am in Central European timezone, and when I use mystreamtimer://countdown/?topofhour it is out by one minute.

I have tried it several times and waited until I went past one hour to test again, and it is consistent.

@adenearnshaw suggested a Stream Deck Plugin on the twitch stream "Converting from WPF -> UWP Round 2 | MyStreamTimer | #Xamarin | @jamesmontemagno".

You could build one on stream with @csharpfritz using the StreamDeckToolkit, see the Docs

Using mystreamtimer://countdown/?to=15:30 is incredibly useful.

It would be nice if this could be done from the UI.

Just wondering if there are fixes or reasons for the glitchy and laggy stream with MyStreamTimer running? I have 0 frames dropped while streaming with OBS yet it lags for that millisecond everytime MyStreamTimer writes a file (I suspect).

Noticed that if you use the app under the same machine on 2 profiles it tries to save to the same place.

Stream Deck launch strings like mystreamtimer://countdown/?mins=6 no longer work with the latest version of windows. Instead a yellow triangle with an exclamation point appears and the application claims that it can't access that location.

It could have been a stream deck update, but I'm fairly certain this issue happened a little over a week ago with the new Windows 10 update.

@jamesmontemagno

I wanted to know if it would be possible to launch
mystreamtimer://countdown/?mins=10 on a remote machine? I have a 2 pc stream setup and i use TouchPortal. I wanted to run touchportal from my gaming pc but i cant run MyST from my gaming pc because it will interfere with fullscreen. When i press BRB button in TouchPortal, i have it switch to my brb screen in obs and then launch mystreamtimer://countdown/?mins=10. This works fine when im running it off the streaming pc but i want to move TouchPortal to my gaming pc so that i can control other stuff. My only issue is MyST.

I have tried scripting in python using a url launcher but it didnt work. I also tried using powershell to launch the MyST app but it cant launch mystreamtimer://countdown/?mins=10

Maybe you have an idea?

I would love to interact with the app exclusively via streamdeck.

Would be then nice to have the following commands:

Add X minutes to the running countdown
mystreamtimer://countdown/?add=x
mystreamtimer://countdown/?remove=x
This will allow to create custom buttons in streamdeck to add and remove x amount of minutes

Start/Stop/Reset
mystreamtimer://countdown/?start
mystreamtimer://countdown/?stop
mystreamtimer://countdown/?reset

For those of us streamers that have a startup tune, it would be great to also allow seconds to be defined for the length of the timer.

Also, another option would be to pass it the path to an MP3 file, have the app determine the duration of the MP3 from the metadata, set the timer to that length, and have the timer start.

ability to reset and start from 0

I just went to try this out with OBS on Mac. The location of the txt file is buried in ~/Library/Containers.. which is hard to find from OBS as Library is hidden.
Is it possible to either default to an easier location or allow the user to choose a location easier to get to?

How do we do the issue in the title above?

Since Snaz has been discontinued, could these features be added to the application?
