Broadcast (source livechesscloud) • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

I'm broadcasting the OTB tournament, the games are published to livechesscloud and it is a source for lichess. Everything works fine, I've found glitch though.

When the broadcast starts to parse/scrape the page before the tournament starts, it sasys 'Found an empty PGN at index 029. 8.'. What is ok. Then all games started, but 1st board. It still complains the same. Once move is done on the first board, evertyhing is fine.

Not a critical issue.

As a general note, if one of the boards in the livechesscloud is empty or improperly setup, it can choke the broadcast the way you’re describing. Using https://github.com/lichess-org/pgn-mule we can turn the JSON format into a more stable and proper PGN the broadcast can parse.
