I purchased a new motherboard (A68HM Grenade) and processor (AMD A-10 @ 3.4) for the streaming computer, but still have it running off a 10+ year old 300W power supply that is bound to die sooner or later, and some spare 2gb DDR3 Sticks. I appreciate all the donation offers. I did not feel comfortable accepting donations to fix the stream until i was absolutely certain i could get the PC running again. I would be grateful for any donations or assistance anybody can offer. The donation link in the main post of this thread. Total, the mobo and processor cost about $120. I uploaded some (bad) images here of the streaming PC for anybody interested. Just an old clear PC case and an ancient 4:3 monitor that's taken alot of beating. No cable management either. I just put the stream back online before typing this post out. It was strange setting it up again because the last time i had set up OBS/VLC was 2013, on version 0.5xx of OBS (it's at like 20.x.x now). It seems they removed the ability to capture only a portion of your desktop, so i had to window capture and crop the image, and then manually size VLC to 1024x768. Thankfully it does allow me to move the VLC window on the desktop without ruining the stream, so it's an improvement. I had a hard time remembering the correct settings i used so if anybody experiences any issues let me know. Currently the stream is at a bitrate of 1500 and 30 FPS as i believe broodwar is capped at 29 I was unable to get the title any smaller also, which felt strange because i'm using the same version of VLC. | ||

I tune in several times a day when I can and make it a point to look up a player, or a strat, or a map, something BW related that I'm inspired by from what I watch. Thanks for the effort and work that goes into this. | ||

Thanks for the effort and work that goes into this. Thank you for the support! This is why i made this stream back in 2013, to get people inspired and excited about SC:BW and its amazing history!

I'm not sure if it's allowable since this isn't original content but that might be worth looking into. Secondly, can you move the event details to the left or right of the main game window since there are black bars? It currently is sitting on top of the gameplay and blocks the top bar. https://i.gyazo.com/67fb6a489fc2c1b53469da357bde014c.jpg No problem! I have enabled in-game drops for the stream, though i know very little about them. I could probably make the event title display vertically down the side of the video, but i don't think it would be very readable and long titles would get cut off or make a mess. Unfortunantly each VOD is different, Some have black bars, some don't, which results in some VOD's getting cut off. The size of the text is also always the same, so when a very low resolution VOD like the one you were watching plays, the size of the title is much larger. These issues are all a result of the limitations of VLC media player. I've also been looking at partnering the stream ever since twitch made it all automatic. I've had the ability to for awhile but i'm concerned about it due to the content being streamed. | ||

Today i cleaned up the area below the stream and added some graphics. I also decided to finish the affiliate forms and become an affiliate on twitch. Moobot has also been added, with !uptime and !thread commands. More to come in the future! | ||

I set the title size to be static, rather than relative to the video resolution. This will fix having too large of titles on most VOD's, however on really low resolution VOD's the title will still be far too large. I've also been working on cutting useless material off the VOD's, though none of the cut ones have been added to the stream yet. I've started with some of the worst offenders first, the proleagues. Most of these VOD's have been cut in length by over half, removing excess chatter before the game and the playback and discussion of the game afterwards. (Though it is unfortunate to lose the glorious kpop preformances) Example of new title size, from the same game above. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/t6kyeVR.jpg) | ||
