AIMemeLord went live on Twitch for the first time. Image generation, YouTube media feeds, vibe theming, and live chat all running end-to-end. Then we kept building: a creator dashboard, three new overlay panels, queue persistence, playlist management, vibe-aware idle injection, and a full channel ownership handoff from Jefebot to VibeBot4000.
First Live Stream
The session started as a "tightening" pass on existing work but quickly turned into a live stream test. Image reveal positioning was broken — percentage-based CSS transforms that shifted when the image got bigger. After several iterations, we landed on fixed pixel coordinates (reveal at 668x238, 780px; PiP at 15x105, 384px) with a simple fade+scale animation. No more translate percentage math that breaks when you resize. The "GENERATING FOR" viewport was lingering after images appeared because the idle fallback had an 8-12 second delay before its first tick. Two fixes: clear the viewport HTML immediately on generation_complete, and fire the idle fallback instantly instead of waiting.
The Overlay Glow-Up
The overlay's bottom row went from a single Live Chat box to a three-panel layout. Meme Feed (pink accent, left) now owns all the demo/humor messages — 230+ shuffled entries including system jokes, fake chat activity, output flavor text, and command tips that double as advertising. The Neural Processing terminal on the left is now reserved for real pipeline events only. A new Now Playing panel (blue accent, center) shows the current track and next 10 upcoming videos. Live Chat (green accent, right) stays where it was. Chat messages no longer bleed into the terminal as fake "PROMPT" entries.
Creator Dashboard
Built a full creator control panel at /overlays/aimemelord-dashboard.html — single-page vanilla JS, dark theme with the neon aesthetic, responsive enough for phone use while streaming. Vibe selector with visual buttons for all 8 themes, image generation with prompt input, media queue manager with per-item remove and jump-to-position, playlist loader with shuffle/replace toggles, and status indicators polling every 10 seconds. The kill switch requires confirmation and toggles to a resume button.
Queue Persistence and Playlists
Media queue now persists to disk on every mutation using the same atomic temp-file pattern as stats. Pipeline restarts no longer lose the queue. Added playlist API endpoints: GET /api/playlists, POST /api/playlists/{id}/load with shuffle and replace options, POST /api/media/shuffle, and POST /api/media/jump/{position}. A /queue-playlist skill loads playlists from the CLI. The classic-memes playlist has 102 curated videos. A queue sync bug was also fixed — when videos ended, the overlay advanced its local queue but never told the server, causing repeated plays.
Vibe-Aware Idle Injection
New background loop: after 10 minutes of continuous idle (no chat, no generation, empty queue), the pipeline auto-queues 4 random YouTube videos matching the current vibe theme. A vibe-videos.json map provides 13-15 curated videos per vibe — cyberpunk gets Perturbator and Kavinsky, lo-fi gets Nujabes and Lofi Girl, dark-fantasy gets Elden Ring OST and dungeon synth. Falls back to "default" (classic memes) if the current vibe has no entries.
Channel Ownership Handoff
VibeBot4000 now fully owns #oceanmanor. Jefebot does an early return on any #oceanmanor message — no first chatter tracking, no welcome service, no commands. VibeBot got a greeting fix (removed the ! command filter that was skipping VIPs whose first message was a !checkin), a "Sir Alio" nickname easter egg, a single-user remove API endpoint, and @mention responses disabled. Jefebot's #aimemelord channel now uses the "meme" personality for @mentions instead of the polite "please" mode.
