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:


* 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: Idle - the component exists but is not active


Yellow/Orange: Processing - stream is starting up (streams only)


Red: Live - the component is active and running


Warning Icon (Gray): No input assigned - stream cannot start without an input assigned to it


Stream Status Indicators

The stream indicator shows the current state of your stream:


* Gray: Stream created but not started


* Yellow: Stream is starting up


* Red: Stream is live and running


* Gray warning icon: Stream has no input assigned (cannot start)


Overlay Status Indicators

The overlay indicator shows whether graphics are active:


* Gray: Overlay created but not in use


* Red: Overlay is active (either linked to a live LIGR stream OR the production URL is being used in external software like vMix/OBS)


Input Status Indicators

The input indicator shows whether your video source is connected:


* Gray: Input created but not receiving video


* Red: Input is receiving video feed


Destination Status Indicators

The destination indicator shows the connection status to streaming platforms:


* Gray: Destination configured but not sending


* Yellow: Attempting to connect to destination


* Warning + Retry icon: Failed to connect (retries every ~20 seconds)


* Red: Successfully connected and streaming to destination


Important: If destination indicator is red, LIGR is successfully connected and streaming. When 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 shows who is capturing match events:


Live scorer name: When match scoring is provided by someone using the LiveScore app, their name appears in the table.


EXT indicator: When match scoring is provided by an external data provider instead of a live scorer, "EXT" appears in the table.
