Hey, I always get a notification there is a live stream as if it’s a new post when I’m scrolling in my feed. I find it a bit distracting and repetitive. Otherwise it’s great, thanks!

Hey, thanks for the report. We’re aware of this and currently working on a fix.

Great, thanks!! 🙏

Audio rooms is in the roadmap ??? 👀

Background play for me so I can respond to a Signal message or something without the audio stopping 🫡

Or I can lock the phone and keep it playing

Is it possible to link Nostr with some of the apps that link chats between platforms? I only stream to the Fediverse and Nostr but it would be amazing to integrate the chats in OBS (I understand this is possible with the big platforms).

For the nostr chat add zap.stream/chat/YOURNPUB to a new web source overlay or as custom OBS widget. Using your npub over eventID will always shows your current chat, no need to update each time you go live.

If you want to combine multiple chats, take a look at:

I would love to see that all the muted words would actually be muted for real. Seems not work.

Hey Neo, we can’t seem to reproduce this issue. Can you tell us what specifically is not working for you or provide any reproduction steps?

Please keep in mind that muting words will not remove content from users you are following.

This is a great feature request. We’re working on it!

That's amazing, thank you guys 💜

There are still a couple of problems. The streaming notification banners I’ve disabled aren’t showing up when I open the app, on either the web or Android versions, but they sometimes reappear after I’ve been on the home screen for a while.

Also, the issue mentioned in this message is still happening: profiles where I’ve turned off streaming notifications incorrectly show as muted when I view them, even though they aren’t actually muted.

Thank you for this information! We’re looking into this now.

How does primal handle the chat?

We've noticed that many people do not display in chat (chat or zaps) depending on which app they're viewing from (including Primal). I was able to fix this issue for my own stream by using the noStrudel chat instead of the ZS chat. Reason - on noStrudel I could change the socialgraph/wot settings to ensure NOBODY is being filtered from chat because they exist outside of the SocialGraph.

The stream host can control whose chat messages are displayed. However any user can switch this setting off to show all messages without moderation (under chat filtering)

that's good to know. thank you

Fix the notifications for replies in threads already. This problem has been ignored since day one and is a big reason why many don’t use primal as their main client. Should be an easy fix but it never gets addressed for some reason.

Just make a separate notification feed for the live notifications 😉

I’m perfectly happy seeing them at the top of the main feed. It doesn’t need to be a notification type at all IMO

We’re gonna clean all of this up!

Awesome!

A client for ipad

Thanks for the update! Loving the improvements so far. It would be awesome if you could also add an option to highlight favorite streamers in the notifications.
