[Scrivani]

Just showing up again this possibility.

To apper in Dreamcast Now while playing over BBA or other connection methods

Does it work now?
I am using megavolts iso and it eventually stopped showing/recognizing me online on dreamcast.online
I made a research and found out that in the dcnow.py script file the dreamcast now is trying to connect to https://appspot-2016.******.com (which has same ip as regular dcnow website but different domain name) . So i chaned it to regular not secured protocol and changed the address to http://dreamcast.online and it started to work again. Im not sure what happened and why it broke but in tail var/log/syslog i saw this:

After changing address to http://dreamcast.online in dcnow.py script file this error stopped logging and now i can see me online on the dcnow website, it even correctly recognize games i play on my dreamcast
Can you check yours?

[Scrivani]

Oh right, i need to check. Maybe that backend dc now url expires somehow

[Strik3r91]

The URL is working for regular web browser on PC and web site is opening but maybe it just broke for dreampi script requests.

I am not a smart person and please correct me if i am wrong but if you want to show up on the dreamcast now site would it not be easier to change the internet site to something you can log into with an account? And after that you can choose what you want show up as.

Holsten,

Yes, sure.

But this is a big work in a small feature demand.

Don't think Kazade will stop to build this...

[SEGA RPG FAN]

Nice work. Have you checked in with Kazade maybe just as a courtesy since your now modified unofficial scripts are posting data to his endpoint?

Thks

Like I said:
"I've been talking about this idea with Shuouma and MegaVolt85. I also sent a direct message to Kazade."

But Kazade didn't answer me.

I don't know, but guess he's ok with this.

Shuouma and Megavolt said it was good idea.

I'm sure the service is hosted for all of the Dreamcast community regardless of connection method.
