Your rtmp url may be incorrect. Did you double check it? Did you try removing the brackets where you put your info in the rtmp url format that I posted?

do you use procaster or webcaster? i followed everything in the guide and it works great, but i'm having issues with procaster's control bar when i go live

the green lines that denote the screen capturing area are permanently showing now whereas before they'd go all the way off screen and essentially not show. now they're all fat and won't even go off screen. obviously they don't show up in the stream itself, but still.. quite annoying for me. =(

talking about these things:

edit: or am i supposed to skip using procaster completely and launch from xsplit broadcaster? brb rereading guide >_>

Move your mouse cursor to the top right edge of the green lines and resize it to fullscreen. That's what I did and it worked.

EDIT: Skip procaster completely and broadcast from XSplit.

You have to add a screen region as Scene 1 from the menu File -> Add screen region... then drag your whole screen from the top left to the bottom right. And go to the menu Broadcast -> Edit channels... -> Hotkey tab for "Switch to Scene 1", check more than one boxes for shift, ctrl, and alt keys in order to not conflict with hotkeying your units in SC2.

I think the hotkeys are set to Crtl+# so it switchs scene to a scene where your desktop wasn't added into the scene. Just change all those hotkeys in the settings and it 'should' be ok. I had the black screen problem but the program seems to use to much processor for me to use it reliably on a low end dual core cpu. A quad core or v.high mhz is probably needed at the minimum i'd say to use this.

I'll try it once more tonight and then switch to VHScreenCap + FMLE for a while then back to livestream to see how low end pc can handle streaming.

"I really need to get a job and upgrade my pc lol".

Livestream gets annoyed anytime I use over 500k and even emails me that I was going over. I think using Procaster on higher settings doesn't give you the warning and just gives max output possible in the range allowed but I can't test as my upload is only barely at that max.

Did you add a screen region as Scene 1 in XSplit? Did you type your rtmp url correctly? If you still have problems, PM me your livestream channel and we can work it out.

What control groups? Control groups in SC2? Make sure to go to menu Broadcast -> Edit channels... -> Hotkeys tab and check more than one checkboxes for ctrl, alt, and shift for all the "Switch to Scene #".

sorry for the short reply but the limit on Livestream is 500Kbps not 500kbps so you can go quite high with ur upload and get really qood quality if you've got a good enough machine

I don't want to. And I don't know how I would. :O I shouldn't have put "Must read!" in the thread title. That was my mistake. I asked Plexa to remove it since it sounds forceful.

yeah, everyone should use xsplit. it makes vhrscap/fmle and procaster as well (seemingly) completely obsolete.
