 I tried alt-tabbing to restart the stream or switch scenes, but the OBS window was impossible to grab a hold of, there were some really weird graphical glitches with duplicate taskbars (not visible in the VOD of course). http://www.twitch.tv/raziel2p/b/354913054?t=2m20s | ||

 Gonna try it when I get time to play with it a bit.I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but most people use the colorfix reg. | ||

This is likely to be something you already know, but in case you don't, every menu background and their associated elements have a unique 256 color palette in starcraft independent of the game palette, and if you try to mix and match those in a mod that replaces those pcx files, you get some major color distortion going on because it needs those specific palettes in those areas. You can grab those palettes from the various Background pcx files. However I have no idea how battle.net's ui works. | ||

It's as if OBs crashed from that point on. Any help with this? =/ Example 1 Example 2 Both happen at around the 3:20 mark. the same thing is happening to me | ||

You can actually make OBS capture the inside BW window (no title/minimize/maxmize/etc. bar) and outside window (with the title bar/etc.) in WMode automatically and you can still see overlays, unlike XSplit which automatically captures just the game, not the overlays - it's just indispensable for casting. The only con is that the bitrate varies a lot more (and is higher) than XSplit so it dropped some frames until I configured it a bit better, but the bitrate is still more than XSplit. I'll try to further tweak it to reduce the spikes. Maybe it's because of the higher quality of sound. I like the interface way more, it's faster and cleaner. I just love it. As for ease of use/setup, OBS and XSplit are pretty much the same, maybe I'd give a tiny edge to OBS. Thanks for the plugin R1CH (and all the work on OBS), it's awesome, going to use OBS + BW Full Screen plugin all the time when I stream me playing. If I knew/understood more I'd help code for it. :< Btw, is there any way to add overlays when streaming full screen? They don't have to be visible inside the game, just on the output and the OBS preview. There must be some way to capture the overlays and mix them in as a source with the full screen bw output source. | ||

With XSplit it used to have small stutters, but with OBS everything is smooth, even on slower encoding speeds and 10 quality on like 500 kbps upload.

It should work fine if you add in images and such, as long as you layer them correctly. | ||

Thanks! :D Just checked it out, this is amazing, I've always wanted to have an overlay while streaming full screen! :DDDD Now too bad I don't have a second monitor for chat. xD Edit: Seems you can disable and enable overlays and other windows obscuring the software window capture if you enable or disable aero. | ||

I've got W7 64 bit, and using 32 bit OBS (obviously, since this plugin is only for 32 bit). Try the latest version, of OBS and all software. It freezes only when you stream with OBS and this plugin? Does it freeze when you play music/youtube or stream with other software while playing? EDIT: Btw, there's a simple auto scene switcher plugin that works with BW: http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1785 | ||
