SceneSat chat commands

The SceneSat bot can answer a few useful questions right in the public chat.
Send a command as a message on its own, from the website, an app or a connected
chat platform. More commands will be added here as they become available.

Help

Command	What it does
!triggers, !help	Links to this command guide.
!votetriggers	Links to the rating scale and voting guide. !v and !vl without a number show this help too. Votes are saved privately for Sat-U-Rated.
!ping	Replies with pong, to check that the bot is responding.

What's playing?

Command	What it does
!np or !now	Shows what's playing on the main radio channel, with a link for more information.
!np main	Shows what's playing on a named public audio channel. !now main works too.
!np all	Lists what's playing on the available public audio channels. !now all works too.

Replace main with another public channel's name to ask about that channel.
If the name is unavailable, the bot will list the public channels you can use.

During a live show, !np follows the song's artist and title when the broadcast
supplies them. If no song details are available, it says so instead of presenting
the show as a song.

Upcoming shows

Command	What it does
!schedule, !show or !shows	Shows upcoming broadcasts.

Track voting

Use !awesome, !love, !meh and the rest of the 1–10 scale to save a vote
privately for future Sat-U-Rated shows. Past-tense forms such as !awesomed and
!loved refer to the previous track. For a shortcut, !v 1-10 rates the current
track (!v 10 is !magnificent) and !vl 1-10 the previous one (!vl 6 is
!liked); !v or !vl alone shows the voting help. !revoke and !unvote remove
your latest active vote within 15 minutes of its last changed rating.

For each track, only your latest vote in the chosen show period counts. Verified linked accounts share that vote. Unlinked votes are saved as
provisional; show organizers can include or exclude them for any chosen date
range. Vote totals are not public. See the voting guide and full rating scale.

Moodvotes in the player

For a quick reaction to the song you actually hear on a SceneSat station, use
the three mood buttons in the website player or above Play in the iPhone app.
Other supported apps offer React. Use MP3, AAC or Auto (HLS) playback; the reaction
follows your player’s track information, including its delay behind the broadcast.
You can react without signing in. SceneSatID keeps one mood per play across your
devices and syncs Settings → Show mood buttons. Anonymous preferences stay local.
Auto (HLS) may be labelled HLS (auto) in older versions.
Moodvotes are separate from chat ratings. See the moodvote guide.

A few tips

• Use the command on its own, with only its supported argument: for example,
  !np main. Typing I wonder !np will not trigger it.
• Use the lower-case spellings shown here. Voting commands also accept capitals.
• Replies normally appear in the shared chat. Replies on YouTube depend on
  whether posting is enabled there.
• @name suggestions come from recent chat participants. They help you address
  someone; they are not bot commands or a list of everyone currently online.

This page lists public commands. Keep !triggers handy as the bot grows.
