Understanding Live and Upcoming Matches

Explains the Live and Upcoming Matches tab, including match details, color-coded status indicators, and how to expand match configuration.

Overview

The Live and Upcoming tab is the default view in the Matches section. It shows all matches that are currently live or scheduled to start soon, giving you a real-time overview of your active and imminent broadcasts.


This view displays the following information for each match:


• Match start time (or LIVE indicator if currently streaming)


• Competition logo (hover to see competition name)


• Home team logo (hover to see team name)


• Score (hover to see venue name)


• Away team logo (hover to see team name)


• Live scorer name or EXT indicator


• Stream status indicators


• Overlay status indicators


• Input status indicators


• Destination status indicators

Understanding Status Indicators

All indicators follow a consistent color code system. Gray means the component is idle - it exists but is not active. Yellow/Orange means the stream is processing, i.e. starting up (this applies to streams only). Red means the component is live and actively running. A gray warning icon means no input is assigned, so the stream cannot start without an input assigned to it.


Stream Status Indicators

The stream indicator shows the current state of your stream. Gray means the stream has been created but not started, yellow means the stream is starting up, and red means the stream is live and running. A gray warning icon means the stream has no input assigned and therefore cannot start.


Overlay Status Indicators

The overlay indicator shows whether graphics are active. Gray means the overlay has been created but is not in use. Red means the overlay is active, either because it's linked to a live LIGR stream or because the production URL is being used in external software like vMix or OBS.


Input Status Indicators

The input indicator shows whether your video source is connected. Gray means the input has been created but is not receiving video, while red means the input is receiving a video feed.


Destination Status Indicators

The destination indicator shows the connection status to streaming platforms. Gray means the destination is configured but not sending, and yellow means LIGR is attempting to connect to the destination. A warning with a retry icon means the connection has failed, and LIGR will retry every ~20 seconds. Red means the destination is successfully connected and streaming.


Important: If the destination indicator is red, LIGR is successfully connected and streaming. When it's red, troubleshooting should focus on the destination platform (e.g., YouTube receiving settings, correct event selection, visibility settings) rather than LIGR configuration.


Numerical Indicators

When you see a number on an indicator (e.g., "2" on the stream icon), this shows how many of that component are assigned to the match. Click the drop-down arrow to see details of each.


Live Scorer and External Data

The Live and Upcoming view also shows who is capturing match events. When match scoring is provided by someone using the LiveScore app, their name appears in the table as the live scorer. When match scoring is instead provided by an external data provider, "EXT" appears in the table in place of a name.


Expanding Match Details

Click the drop-down arrow next to any match to see its detailed configuration, split across two sides of the panel.


On the left side, you'll find:


• Stream names


• Auto Stream status (Auto or Manual)


• Overlay assignment for each stream (or N/A if none)


• Overlay control mode (Auto or Manual graphics)


• FPS/Resolution for each stream


• Ad type for each overlay


On the right side, you'll find:


• Input assignments


• Destination assignments with status indicators
