Home

Home is the page you land on when you sign in to pyre.stream. It answers three questions, in this order: what would happen if you went live right now, what needs you, and how your channel is trending.

Home is read-only

Nothing on Home starts, stops or arms anything. There is no go-live button, no ad control and no bot switch on it. Every button is a link to the page that owns that action, and for going live that page is Stream Manager. The panel at the top says so in its own words:

Go-live controls stay in Stream Manager. This card only shows what will happen when you press it.

Open Stream Manager takes you to the controls.

Right now

The wide panel at the top is Right now. It shows what would happen if you pressed Go live, without pressing it.

Part	What it shows
State	`Offline`, `Live now`, `Test armed` or `Test running`
Viewers	`{n} watching`, while you are live and only when the platform reports a figure
Route	How your stream will travel, for example `Pyre cloud` or `Your PC sends`, and `PC online` or `PC offline`
Destinations	Each platform, `on`, `off` or `not connected`
Test stream	`not armed`, `armed`, or `running, {n} min left` (see Test stream)
Reconnect card	`set`, `default` or `off` (see Continuity)
Next stream	Your next scheduled stream, whether it will be announced, and when it last synced
Bot and chat	How many channels the bot is in, and whether it is muted or paused

Unknown is never zero

When Home cannot read a value, it shows n/a with the reason beside it rather than a number:

Could not read this right now.

Nothing Home failed to read is ever shown as 0. A zero is a claim about your channel; a failed read is only a claim about the connection. The same rule runs through every card below.

Needs attention

A short list of things that actually need you, each with a link to fix it. The card’s subtitle is only real items, and it means it. What can appear:

your email is not verified, or two-factor sign-in is off
the bot is not connected on a platform, is muted, or has its replies paused
a platform connection needs a reconnect
your schedule sync is failing, or an announcement channel is failing
redeems, store redemptions, held alerts or song requests are waiting for you
billing: a low balance, no credit left, or a trial that is ending

The card only appears when something is on it, and its footer says what an empty Home means:

Nothing here means nothing is wrong.

Set up

A checklist for new accounts, with five steps:

Verify your email
Connect a platform
Add a destination
Go live for the first time
Turn on two-factor sign-in

Each step reads done or to do, and a step still to do carries one line on how to do it. The subtitle counts what remains, as {n} of {m} left. “Go live for the first time” ticks itself the first time Pyre records a stream. When every step is done the card goes away:

This card disappears when every step is done.

Last stream

A teaser for your most recent stream, never a rolling window: Peak viewers, Chatters, the length of the stream, and Clips created when the stream has clips. If the stream matched a slot on your schedule, the line under it says when you planned to start and when you did. See full summary opens it in Analytics.

YouTube reports its viewer figures a few hours after a stream ends, and until it does the card says so instead of printing a partial peak:

YouTube has not reported this stream yet. Its numbers usually arrive within a few hours of you going offline.

Last 30 days

Six tiles, each compared with the 30 days before and drawn as a small line per day:

Tile	What it counts	Tag
Streams	Streams Pyre recorded	`metered`
Hours live	Time on air	`metered`
Avg viewers	Average viewers, from once a minute samples	`estimated`
Chat messages	Messages in your chat	`metered`
Support events	Cheers, subs, resubs, gifted subs, Super Chats, memberships and tips	`metered`
On time	Scheduled slots you kept, of all your slots	`metered`

The tag on each tile says where the number comes from: metered is counted by Pyre from your own sessions, chat log and support events, estimated is built from the viewer samples Pyre takes while you are live, and reported is a figure a platform sent us.

A change from nothing to something reads new rather than an infinite percentage. On time reads as {a} of {b} with how many of those started on time, and it is not compared with the 30 before. With nothing on your schedule in the window it shows n/a and no schedule in this window.

These are the same totals the Analytics page shows, folded from the same data, so the two cannot disagree. An account that has not streamed yet sees the Analytics first-run text instead of six empty tiles:

Your first stream will show up here.

with a Go to Stream Manager link.

Supporters

This month’s tips sent to you through Pyre, not subs or memberships: your five latest tips and a Top this month line that adds up each supporter’s tips since the first of the month (UTC). Each amount is shown in the currency it was paid in. Pyre never converts currencies and never adds different currencies together:

Shown per currency, never converted.

With no tips this month the card is hidden. Tips opens the Tips page.

Community

One 7-day window: New chatters, Returning chatters, Top chatter, Top emote and Mod actions. The top chatter and top emote come from chat stats, which is 7stats and reads Twitch only. When your channel is not tracked there, the card says so:

Top chatter and top emote come from chat stats, which cover Twitch channels only.

With nothing in the window the card is hidden. Community opens the Community page.

Schedule

Your next three scheduled streams, each with the day, time, title and length, and announced beside the length when go-live posts are set up. With no slots the card is hidden. Edit opens Schedule and social.

Recent clips

Up to five of your latest clips from the Twitch clip library, with title and view count. The footer is plain about what is missing:

The library reads Twitch clips. Kick and YouTube clips are not in the library yet.

Without Twitch connected the card offers Connect Twitch. With Twitch connected and no clips yet, the card is hidden. Library opens Clips.

Refreshing and failures

Home reads everything again every 30 seconds while it is open, and nothing on it is cached for longer than that. If a refresh fails after a good read, Home keeps showing the last good read and says how old it is:

Could not refresh. Showing what Home read {ago}.

If the very first read fails, there is nothing old to show, so the panel says:

Home could not load right now. Stream Manager still works.

Where the numbers come from

Everything on Home is your own data: your stream sessions, your chat log, your tips, your schedule and your clips. Platform figures, such as live viewers, appear only where the platform reports them, and they carry the reported tag.
