    // ************** Instructions for connecting to the LiveCoding chatrooms from a 3rd party application. ****************

    Step 1a (Ubuntu/ any OS with aptitude (aka apt-get)) :
    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rsrchboy/profanity && sudo apt-get update
    apt-get install profanity
    --
    Step 1b (OSX w/ homebrew):

    : [password]

    : /account set [username]@livecoding.tv muc chat.livecoding.tv

    : /join [channel-username-to-join] (i.e. "/join unicorn") **

    ***This will work with any XMPP/Jabber client. (i.e. pidgin, messages (OSX), etc. *****
    Generic instructions for any client:

    1) set username = [username]@livecoding.tv (if your client requests the domain then only put your [username] in there and put livecoding.tv in the domain field.

    2) set the chat server/muc-server setting to "chat.livecoding.tv"
    3) When asked for a password use your LiveCoding password.
    4) Join a chatroom/stream



    ** You must have visited the channel in your browser from your account before it will let you connect from a 3rd party client.

    also /help will give you help and /help [command] will explain a command

    p.s. dont mess with any of the chatroom commands it could mess something up





    // *************** instructions for getting the LiveCoding video stream from a device other than a browser on a pc *************

    ** Step 2 will require a computer so you cant do everything from your phone as easy. Im sure theres a way. I just wont be explaining it.



    Step 1a (Android, iOS?): Download VLC app.

    Step 1b (PC, OSX, etc.): Go to nightlies.videolan.org and install the most recent version of VLC for your OS.



    Step 2 (All): Go to the Live Stream you want on your other device and view the page source.

    Step 3 : search for "rtmp"

    Step 4 : copy the url that looks like "rtmp://..........."

    Step 5 : Open VLC and click File->Open Network (For Computers), or Menu->Stream (For phones)

    Step 6 : Paste the "rtmp://" address from step 4 in the Network address box.

    Step 7 : Click Ok/Return/Go and wait a few seconds... the video should start.
