No problems after that, except that one of your screens for FMLE shows bitrate for 650 which is beyond what unverified users can use. However after solving these small issues its all working great! Thanks a bunch. Yeah, when I made the guide livestream had no max bitrate. Which is a crying shame, cause viewers are really missing out on some really good quality 2000k streams. It's a pity I can only go up to 500 kbps.
And it's 500 kbps whether you're verified or not. Only premium users can go above.

But i have one question. The stream is great in the site but its a little bit laggy in the game and i am not sure that in iccup it will be good if there is lag for me. Which setting i should lower to improve the quality of play int he game ? Thanks in advance ! You should just set starcraft and camtasia recorder to high priority in task manager. You need more than 1 core to run flash media live encoder. At least that's my experience. I use a Core 2 Duo.

Sorry, but this a noob question about computers.
I have a Core 2 Duo as well, but do I have to manually set the Media Live Encoder to run on one core and Starcraft on the other? Or does the computer set that automatically?
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong because I lag like crazy whenever I start running my LS session. Basically, Starcraft is unplayable.

I would not recommend assigning cores if you don't know what you're doing. It's efficient enough to just let your computer assign cores. If you're getting lag in Starcraft, up its priority only, and shut down everything save for FMLE, Camtasia, and SC. This includes all background processes. If it's still lagging... You need a better computer.

You don't want to assign FMLE above on the priority of sc becuase i guarantee you that FMLE is coded properly and will take every bit of your computing power to encode and sc wont run. What you want to do if put sc on High and FMLE on Above Normal in terms of affinity. But overall quality wont change as you can't really modify the important values in their encoder, 500kbps at 480x360 is actually more then enough quality if we are talking about a proper encoding instead of a live encode.

In my opinion, you should not touch the priorities of FMLE. You should set starcraft.exe to high priority and let FMLE do it's thing. FMLE should use the rest of the cpu power that you have.

Problem < everything worked fine when i had stupid vista just installed win7 and now i cant fix my colors. ;( any suggestions or ideas why is it like that?
nvm fixed it by myself ;D i put Copatability on windows vista and it works fine now

Guys what you think are the best bitrate settings for somebody with 1MB upload?
I have been using 248kbps, 200 video and 48 mono audio for 560x420 output size.
the problem is that if i setup more than 48 in audio the audio lags, and if I put more video I am not sure but people with not good connection get lag even though people with DSL higher than 5MB see it perfectly.

Don't worry about viewers. You have to have terrible internet to not be able to view 248 kbps. Stream at the highest you can stream without lagging. I'd recommend Stereo Audio for Audio cause Mono just sucks.

First time trying to stream here: I'm trying to stream my desktop- not StarCraft yet, and I've got the resolution in Camtasia/FMLE set to input 1024x768 and output 320x240... I've set the bitrate to the lowest possible 100kbps just to see if it works... it does, but when I go into livestream and preview the "external feed", it shows a black screen.(not offline, just a black screen) The same happens when I try to view it from livestream.com/loser777
FMLE shows my desktop in realtime just fine, and its connected to the server and everything (it even says "streaming to primary..."

Well non premium users are capped at a 500kbp/s stream so really might as well use the whole 500kbp/s it's odd that not even half you're capability would lag your transmission. If the audio lags i'm sure there is some settings to manually increase your buffer to be larger.

you filled in your channelname wrong in your FMLE FMS url settings, despite the following warning in the guide:
DO NOT USE TLRAGE AS YOUR CHANNEL NAME
every time you try streaming I get an email in my inbox that some guy is trying to log in to my channel with invalid parameters.
how hard can it be to fill in your own channel name in a url
how can you think having 'tlrage' in your streaming url is correct

hahaha, they still fall for that?
why dont you change the OP and where it says tlrage you change it for [your username here] at least THEY will get the email saying that they are trying to stream to an invalid channel. :D

I use mono cause if I use Stereo some of the sounds of starcraft are going to be broadcasted and the others are going to be lost... I think thats why some people complain about hearing the Nexus sounds but not the units sounds.
When I make test recordings I have noticed that If i put more than 48kbps for audio the audio stops every x amount of milliseconds...

Quite the annoyance. With 5.0.2, the stupid thing is stuck at 320x240

So I bought a new headset with with a mic with an USB connection, not the regular cord you stick in your soundcard. So now in AFML there is no option to get the sounds I hear onto the stream, the only option I have is the Microphone for the headset. So is there any way to get what I hear onto the stream without getting a new headset that I plug directly into the soundcard? (Since I kinda destroyed my old headset in a moment of nerdrage during a big loss streak a few days ago lol)

USB Headsets always have a 'built in sound card', and shows up as a seperate device in windows.
Should be easy to mix mic and output with Virtual Audio Cables in this case.

Nvm, I fixed that problem. But my friend tells me there are some major framedrops when watching, any ideas on how to fix that? :x
