I can not test with a wired connection, and I havent used FME for a long while. Maybe I should invest in a new PCI wireless NIC... though it is strange.
I'm assuming you ran FME with the same router hardware back then? Otherwise we need to test FME (and it's free, except from your time).
Else, if the NIC works with everything but XSplit+games it must be related to either one. Maybe you updated a driver for the NIC (try rollback and/or check for even newer update). If XSplit is at fault I'm quite baffled, but let's not forget this is still beta software. No harm in writing a post on their website asking if anyone else has seen this.
Not sure I can provide much more help, before further testing and results are posted  .

Ill see if I can find the links and guides to setting up on JTV and test it out.
EDIT: Well, initial tests have FME working fine

It's a really peculiar thing that XSplit messes up your network connection, but that is what everything points at. From here on out, you could try a different NIC and/or ask XSplit for advice. I'm sorry I couldn''t solve this with you

hello!
I'm having a problem with Xsplit which is whenever i log into the application it tells me An error was encountered while trying to initialize you folders. The app quits on me and I can't do anything at all with it. could anyone tell me what I can do to fix this?
Sorry for bumping this with an old problem but it's still in xsplit and I've been having this problem up until just a few minutes ago when I managed to figure out a solution for this.
See the thing is that when XSplit launches, it tries to create a folder named XSplit recordings in the following location: "C:\Users\yourusername\Videos\XSplit Recordings", if you accidentally delete the Videos folder, or for some reason it isn't created, XSplit will try to create a folder inside a folder which doesn't exists, and you will get this error.
So this is how to fix it:
Go into "C:\Users\yourusername\", and see if your "Videos" folder is missing, if so, remake the "Videos" and "XSplit recordings" folders with the exact same name and then start XSplit again, and it should work.
so for example:
I can navigate to C:\Users\myusername but I cant find any videos folder, so I create a folder named "Videos" in the \myusername folder, and then I go into the new "Videos" folder and create a folder named "XSplit Recordings", now I start XSplit and I can stream once again! Hope you guys understand and that this helped someone.
Good luck

Hi guys, i could need some advise.
Rig:
i7 920 at 4.2Ghz
6Gb DDR3 1600
2x GTX 580
100mbit download
10mbit upload
i would really like to run at HD HQ 1080p...
these are my current settings that work (framerate 30)

![[image loading]](http://www.abload.de/img/2374w.jpg)
I mean its looking good, but its not like ingame with ultra graphics - I see streams that are looking like you would play yourself with ultra graphics - how do i achieve this ?
and second: is it somehow possible to stream also fullscreen ? even though i play sc2 in window mode, there are other games that do not support window mode.

Could you link us to an example? That way we could better evaluate it
Edit: All settings look perfect, except try changing the "preset" to get better quality - note this will eat a lot of CPU . My understanding of the setting is that is controls how much time/effort XSplit will use on compressing each picture (slower means more thorough, more quality - faster means less time, less quality).
About streaming games that doesn't support windowed-fullscreen, I know that XSplit are working to implement this in their future builds. For now the GameSource feature is your best bet, but it only works with a select set of titles (which are unknown to me as I only stream SC2). But basically I think/hope that any DirectX game will be able to be streamed.

I'll drop my issues in this thread as well.
I'm currently streaming on this setup:
CPU: i72600K
GPU: MSI GeForce 560 Ti
RAM: 8GB
Bandwidth:
![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1432678054.png)
Ingame settings: Ultra
1920x1080 windowed fullscreen
XSplit settings:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ghfFt.png)
FPS: 24
Resolution: 1920x1080
Stream URL
http://en.twitch.tv/obbeskrutt
I've recieved complains all day that the stream appears to freeze every now and then, so I've tried different settings quality and bitrate settings, but regardless of settings, the stream continues to freeze.
I'm having the stream open right now as I post this, and I can see how it just act bananas. Quality is superb, but the constant freezing make it unwatchable.
CPU load hoovers at ¨~30%, and XSplit is using uploading in ¨~ 1-2mb/s. No other background applications are running.
Any suggestions? 
Let me know if this post doesn't belong here, and I'll be quick to remove it if that's the case.

I'd suggest starting with lower settings, to find something that does stream well, and then slowly increase settings until you hit your problem. Try starting out with 720p, 1500 kbps, xsplit default encoding quality 6, medium in-game settings, and see if the lag fixes itself. Then change one thing at a time until you hit the problem.
Lots of folks are trying to stream 1080p, but honestly as a viewer there's very little difference between 720p and 1080p. A smooth 720p stream looks better than a jerky, blocky 1080p.

I've decreased the settings to
Quality: 4
Resolution 768x432
Framerate: 15
Bitrate 400 | Buffert 800
And I'm still encounters severe freezeframes. Audio is still playing though.
I made a complete uninstall of of Xsplit (was running the dev build previously) and reverted back to an older version (RC 4), but I'm still having issues.
I've also tried streaming though FMLE to both Justin and Ustream, but again, same problem.
I'm lost

Try local recording. That saves a video file on your hard drive, and we can rule out the network / Justin.tv. StarCraft only uses the hard drive when loading a map, so if you have a replay running it shouldn't affect XSplit recording to the hard drive.

Excellent suggestions by Msqrd above (except, during replay hard drive is actually used). Try those.
Secondly I'm having severe issues watching justin.tv/twitch.tv streams all day today. The exact problems you are having (freeze video, audio fine).

Msqrd; I've made several tests with local recordings, but the results are ok when recording locally.
I guess the culpit is my connection then, but I find it odd...
![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/1432951797.png)
As you can see, my connection shouldn't act as a bottleneck. I've checked my router settings, firewalls and all that good jazz, but nothing. Even tried to bypass my router and plug myself directly into the backbone, and still justin.tv act all bananas on me. Same thing happens when I try other streamingsties, such as UStream and Own3d.
This is so saddening.

I watched about 5 minutes from 18 min and on in this VOD: http://en.twitch.tv/obbeskrutt/b/292482614
No lag whatsoever . Are you sure it wasn't a temporary problem with justin and/or the viewers that couldn't download your 1080 stream?

I also noticed that the VOD's are fine.
Thank you so much for testing it out. Think I've found a semi-good setting for live viewing now, though it's not about half as crisp as I would love it to be. Running at 30fps though.

So I'm trying to stream, and i get huge lag spikes.
My settings:
Computer:
AMD Phenom X6
8GB Ram
Xfx Radeon HD 6950 2GB
Network:
26.02 Mb/s
5.02 Mb/s
Someone clear this up, should i be trying to stream at 2-3k since i have 5.02 mb/s UP speed, or do we have to divide this by 8 cause of the bit/byte difference and thus ending up with only 625 up speed to stream with?

Please show us *all* your xsplit settings, otherwise we can't help. Also link to an example of the lag spikes. Just like "Obbeskrutt" above^^.
You do not need to worry about the difference of bit vs. bytes. You have 5 megabit/s upload, so you should input about half that (=2500 kilobit/s) in the "VBV max bit rate" box.

nice tutorial thank you very much

Awesome mate ! It works great :D

to anyone having stream "crispness" issues set your video encoding to a slower setting, and not the xsplit default. The lower the setting the more crisp it becomes.
|
I have a feeling that the new version of xsplit is causing these problems. I was streaming perfectly fine 2 weeks ago, didn't change any of my settings, and all of the sudden after I update the program, every time I turn it on the thing looks like a slideshow no matter what settings I try. It seems to be the problem that every other poster has brought up over the last week.
