Not sure if this works for you, but if you 'pop-out' the streams, you can arrange as many of them as you like...

Could have taken a worse screenshot of me?


Ha, sorry man. I was going for speed and just pressed print-screen. I left your stream up after though, that was a decent game IIRC.

Not the ones i watch. Afreeca are also naughty and stream premier league games (football) and those get 1000s it funny cuz it has two Koreans in the studio commentating on it haha.


When afreecaTV gets the license to broadcast something, in this case Premier League, that license also extends to users to rebroadcast. So often times during big sporting events, for example the World Cup, you might see several afreecaTV BJs commentating on it with their own style. One user did this for baseball and eventually got picked up by a network to do it professionally.

However, to keep it on topic, since this is in the SC2 forum, we have the license to SPOTV's SC2 events. Anyone is free to broadcast those games as well.


Wait, everyone can rebroadcast proleague and cast it? Live while the official cast is going on? That sounds amazing. So for example TakeTV could just cast SPL on german over AfreecaTV?


Yes, absolutely. A clean feed may also be available. By that I mean, you may be able to receive a feed with game sounds and no commentary, so that you don't hear the official commentary in the back ground while trying to commentate over it.


Dude this feed would be awesome. How do we get access to this feed?

I'd much rather hear my gold/platinum league friends commentate or try to understand what's going on than hear someone like ToD Nathanias or Maynard. It may drive caster income down but will greatly increase involvement of casuals/players. This is probably going to be Afreeca's biggest selling point, since I think Twitch might shutdown your account if you try to do this. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

I'm trying to test this site out but failing pretty hard on the program. Cannot capture window because my display fail to support a selected resolution? and why is 1280x720 the largest when most people run on 1080? can it not downscale?

Edit: k i figured out a lot of stuff. it wont capture windows if you don't put a working audio capture. you can capture your 1080p monitor and it downscales to 720 ( the quality is horrible when playing sc2). you can add a overlay with the watermark function but you need a transparent BMP file. to add a webcam you need to open another capture box to focus only on your camera feed which needs another program to open up.

That's why some broadcasters will setup their stream with FFsplit and Xsplit. FFsplit / Xsplit will show up as a selectable 'broadcast device'. I will try to make a video to better show / explain.

To give you an example of the difference it makes:
Without FFsplit - http://afreeca.tv/36832190/v/3791
With FFsplit - http://afreeca.tv/36831875/v/3675

There was a patch this week for the audio, but unfortunately the error messages aren't consistent. Sometimes you will get an error message about the selected audio device or sometimes your selected resolution, which is confusing. They are actively working to resolve this issue and it will be updated as soon as possible.

As for the clean feed to SPOTV events (or any events), if you or anyone else are seriously interested in commentating, you can send me a PM.

ahhhh that look so much more better with ffsplit. thanks for informing us that!

Also ffsplit is pretty simple, its very very similar to OBS. and it will show up on Afreecas program in the dropbox. so very simple.

Yeah, I will add this to the OP, I forgot and thanks for bringing this up TBH. I am going to be making a YouTube video tonight explaining how to get your stream setup with AfreecaTV Streaming Platform + FFSplit, and have that added to the OP as well, Thanks!

I believe you can get it set up with OBS, but I am not sure how to do so, the only person I'm sure who knows how would be Arcania aka SnowFantasy, I'll let ya know!

EDIT : Maybe not... sorry! I would try FFSplit. I don't think anyone has figured out how to use OBS in Conjunction with AfreecaTV Streaming Platform yet.

AfreecaTV is planning on improving the video encoding so using FFSplit, XSplit, or OBS in Conjunction with AfreecaTV Platform will not be necessary, but these sort of improvements are not things that happen overnight, please be patient neteX!

Hello.

I am NarutO from TaKeTV - first question would be if it needs to be broadcasted at the same time proleague is running. It would be morning/noon in Germany which isn't the best time or if it can be shown at any given time.

The 2nd question would be if it is exclusive to AfreecaTV or if it can be shown on Twitch as well as our followers and community is based around Twitch?

A short reply would be appreciated

It may be a latency issue for these certain people, I also do not have any problems watching multiple streams at any given time, not sure.

Hey NarutO,

Yes, for the clean feed it would have to be done at the same time as proleague / starleague. Because we would be providing the clean feed, we may ask for it to be exclusive to AfreecaTV. However, SPOTV isn't exclusive with anyone, for SC2 at least, but I do not know their arrangements with Twitch. I'm unable to say whether either party would allow it, so I would suggest checking with both before trying. I wouldn't want TakeTV to get flagged for it.

I was supporting this before i saw that Telecom acted like he used to do.

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/476184-grudgematch-with-bm-newb-telecom

Hes been bming for a while now and im not supporting this anymore. Telecom has some issues.. Hes extremely bad manner and he shouldn't host a show at all.

I thought that after many years that he have changed but no... He haven't. Extremely bm and no respect for others.
Afreeca.TV shouldn't represent him at all....

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/329296-dear-telecom-ggzergwhatever-your-name-is

This guy never changes... I should take screenshot of everything he say! But i didn't do it this time but i know that a lot of people has been involved with this guy...

Why i made this thread is just to warn people to follow this guy... Hes extremely psychotic



JUST STAY AWY FROM THIS GUY! ITS A WARNING
