Hey guys! First post here. I'm relatively new to SC2, and brand new to streaming. I can't seem to get XSplit to broadcast at as high of a bitrate as i want. My specs are not the issue; I have 45up/35down, an i5 2500k at 4.6 GHZ, 4gb ram, and a radeon 6970.

I'm trying to stream SC2 ladders at all ultra settings except for the shaders at low (helps me see those pesky observers), but XSplit is refusing to broadcast at a decent resolution and is capping my upload at around 200kb/s. With that internet speed, i should be able to stream in HD. I just don't understand what's going on. I would really appreciate it if you help me out.

Anyone knows what to do when the stream is super fluid but the game itself seems to lag?
Especially when scrolling, I can recognize this.

Dont think its a CPU issue, I dont have more than 60% load and enough RAM.

Is this an issue that most of us have with xsplit lately?

Hey guys I have a question. My audio seems very soft and quiet on my stream. Anyone know why this might be going on? As far as I know all my settings are set up correctly.....

Just turning on XSplit reduces sc2 fps to around 50 from 60...
Does anyone have similar problem like me?
Does XSplit eat up lot of CPU or GPU?

I have
i-5 2.8GHz
4gb ram
GeForce 9800 GTX+

The preview-window of XSplit is a big CPU/GPU drain as it has to capture every frame even when you are not streaming, minimizing the xsplit window should reduce the load.

I tried minimizing, changed scale viewport to 10%, changed options, but whatever I get 10 fps drop

I play sc2 on Mid/High settings but even with banneling bust all over place I have constant 60 fps but when I just turn on XSplit my fps drops to 50 fps
I'm at the verge of quitting cause I've been messing with XSplit for 4 hours and it's not helping me at all qq

60 - 10 to have XSplit on - 10 to broadcast = 40 and I cant play on 40 fps qq

Why is it that when I broadcast and I go check my channel to see what it looks like, all I see is this?

Hey guys I just started streaming with Xsplit and everything is working very well. BUT

When I am streaming my stream is set up on a 10-15 second delay, is this caused by the FPS? I am currently using 30, I have looked around and haven't been able to find anything that has helped. So anyway to get rid of that delay? I find it a little hard to interact with my viewers when they see what I did 15 seconds ago.

there will always be some delay from when you stream to a jtv server and a user receives the stream, 10 seconds is no big deal

So I'll borrow this thread for my problem as it's related to x-split. I just started streaming, but unfortunately I'm using a 16:10 monitor(1680x1050) and I can't figure out what the best option for me is when it comes to what resolution to stream, wether to keep aspect ratio, what way to downscale etc.

I know the majority are using 16

monitors, so I guess it would make sense to set my stream up in order to give the best possible quality for people with this resolution. I can't find any good information about this and it's really hard to try myself.

Motherboard: ASUS P8P67Pro
CPU: Intel i5 2500k
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws x 8gb 1600Mhz
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 570 DCII
~5Mbit up

Thanks for your guide! But I was wondering,

Is my stream audio quality supposed to be this bad? I'm using xsplit.

I have been trying to start a stream as well. I could use some help in finding the best settings for my setup. Here is a copy of my speedtest.

[image loading]

can anybody help me find the optimum settings that i would be able to stream with on using Xsplit. I haven't tried to play a game yet as i am trying to be sure that just doing normal things has a good framerate. Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Something that may be needed for sure is that i use dual monitors. Both are 1920x1080 monitors. I don't know what setting would be optimal with this size of screen and my upload speed. I only play Starcraft on one of the screens

System Specs
Processor (CPU) – Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz
Harddrive - Seagate ST3250410AS
Video Card – 2 NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250
Monitor – Alienware AW2210 (Digital)
Windows 7 32bit

Sorry but i do not know how to find the exact mobo or memory. I have 4GB of memory i know for sure just don't know the type.

Thanks a lot! This helped when I was getting extremely confused by the xsplit website itself XD I was going to wait until I broke into diamond to start streaming, but I don't think I can wait any longer :D

I seem to be having a problem that when i try to add or edit a channel under the properties screen (first picture) it will not let me choose which channel, for example, I will go add channel put in my account and password but it wont let me choose which channel to use (after specifying JTV) it says i need to configure my channel on website or my pw and stuff is wrong but i already had the stream going it just wont let me change the settings now the login info is correct and iv verified everything on the site so i dont know whats going on its just a blank spot

I'm trying to stream League of Legends with Xsplit. I've been playing with my setting a lot and have finally got the stream to be cooperative with my low upload and quality isn't too miserable. The Problem im running into though, is that i cant get the screen to fill up the stream. I get a black boarder around the stream. I switched the resolution to be at 1280x720 but still no luck. I have a monitor that wants to be 1280x1024 to look right. I even tried getting that to look right with 1280x720 but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Specs:
CPU: i7 2.66GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR3 2000
Video card: ASUS EAH5770/2DIS/1GD5/V2
Windows 7

Your source (monitor) is 4:3 format. Your chosen output is 16 : 9 - this is the reason for the bars. You have two options: Set output to same format as your source (ie. 900x720) or stretch the output (by disabling "keep aspect ratio" on the scene). Personally I do not like stretched images, but the choice is yours. Oh, technically you could force your monitor into a 16 : 9 mode too (which would give you a larger PoV ingame - see this).
