That most likely means that it has problems reading the demo file, what plugin are you using to record the demo and are the demos being stored in a subfolder?

I've increased the timeout, hopefully that fixes the issue

28 is indeed a timeout, from your user flag I assume your server i in Australia which is a likely cause.

The timeout is set to 30s at the moment,if you have experience with compiling sourcemod plugins you can try increasing it yourself, I'll try to update the version on the site in the next few days with a higher timeout.

Adding filtering based on date is planned. As for searching by title, I've thought about it but I'm not sure about it's usefulness since they are uselessly far from unique and only controlled by the server config.

demos.tf is a project I have been working on over the last few months to make sharing and uploading of stv demos as simple as possible.

Uploading demos

It allows you to either manually upload an stv demo or use a sourcemod plugin to automatically upload any demo
recorded on the server.

Finding demos

Once demos are uploaded to the server they can be found trough the demos list which supports filtering on gametype, map and players or you can quickly get a list of all demos you played in or uploaded by logging in trough steam.

The site is mostly inspired by logs.tf and intends to do the for ease of access to stv demos as sites like logs.tf did for ease of access to logs.

Thanks goes out to the people from tf2pickup.net for helping me test some problems with the plugin and reminding me to stop being lazy and improve the site.

The 'map' field in the json api always seems to be empty even for logs that have the map shown on the site

Donation has been made, now time to get myself a i49 and plane ticket.
