Glossary
Application data: saved settings, layouts and other information. It is usually separate from the program files you downloaded.
Asset: an image, sound or video used by an overlay.
Baseline: the starting information a connection records so existing data is not mistaken for a new event.
Browser Source: an OBS source that displays a web page as part of your video.
Canvas: the rectangle where you arrange an overlay. Its dimensions are measured in pixels.
Credential: a password, token or private connection URL that gives access to a service.
Desktop companion: the small part of TDSBLive that shows its tray icon and desktop controls. The background application provides your chat and overlay pages.
Dock: a panel inside OBS that you use while working. It does not automatically appear in the broadcast.
Event: something the application receives, such as a new chat message or a supporter notification.
Host: the running TDSBLive application that provides the editor and overlay pages.
HTTP: the way your browser requests these local pages. Ordinary local use does not need an HTTPS certificate.
LAN: a local network, such as computers sharing your home router.
Ledger: the application's record of supporter events and amounts. It is not a bank or payout statement.
Localhost / 127.0.0.1: the computer you are currently using. On a second computer, the same address means that second computer.
Minor units: the smallest ordinary currency unit. For USD, 100 cents equals one dollar.
Overlay: a web page that OBS displays over your video. It can contain several widgets.
Permission: a specific ability you choose to grant, such as letting a widget receive chat or play audio.
Port: a numbered connection point used by an application. TDSBLive normally uses 17474; bot settings can use other ports.
Prefix: Wine or Proton's Windows-style folder containing a pretend C: drive, settings and saved data. A bottle is a managed Wine environment.
Proton: a Windows compatibility system for Linux, originally built for games. UMU can provide its runtime outside Steam.
Revision: an earlier saved state of a layout. It is different from a full application backup.
Runner: the Wine or Proton version used to start the Windows application.
Sandbox: a restricted environment that limits what custom widget code can access.
Session-only: a secret kept for the current run and cleared when the application restarts.
Start at login: an optional setting that starts TDSBLive when you sign in to Windows. It does not start an OBS broadcast.
Token: a secret value used to grant access. Treat a viewing link containing one as private.
Tray / notification area: the part of your desktop's taskbar or panel containing small icons for running applications. On Windows, some icons are inside the up-arrow menu beside the clock.
WebSocket: a connection that stays open so new messages can arrive without repeatedly requesting the whole page.
Widget: one item inside an overlay, such as text, chat, a goal or an alert box.
Wine: software that lets a Linux system run many Windows applications.
ZIP: a compressed collection of files. Extract the full collection before running an application from it.
