I have been trying to stream xbox 360 to my computer which is an AMD Phenom II X4 840T 12gig 1333mghz ram IceQ x turbo 2gddr5 vid card, aver media capture card averC127, my upload speed is 4.5 mpbs on speedtest.net using an HDMI 1.4a splitter with all 1.4a cables. So I have a fairly good setup and I'm trying to stream to twitch.tv/grapplerandrew. I have been able to do FMLE at 1920X1080 at 30 fps as input streamed at 30fps 856X480 1500kbits video up, 224kbits audio up with absolutely no frame drops. But as soon as I try the same setting on my xbox trying to stream 1080 it just goes green image even when I set it to 2.5kbits video and 224 audio and drops frames like crazy. I tried making my xbox 720p input instead and put that and 1500kbits video, 192 kbits audio and then making my stream 720p it would always stream at 60fps and wouldn't let me change the stream to 30 so it would always drop frames no matter what kbit's setting I put it at. I've also tried to do a 1920X1080 in with 1024X576 as the stream same settings as 480p otherwise and it was slightly better but dropped too many frames. Please for the love of god I just want to stream 720p xbox to twitch. Fight Night Champion is terrible at 480 barely watchable no matter what the variable bit rate is set at :<. Should i switch to paying for xsplit or maybe this dxtory or something?



Your CPU is the limiting factor in your quest to stream 720p. If your motherboard is am3 and supports am3+ socket the best and cheapest way to be able to stream higher quality would be to upgrade to a 8120. Its far cheaper to just upgrade your CPU rather than getting a intel cpu/mobo which would output better quality @ higher resolutions. But for streaming xbox @ 720p the 8120 is more than enough.


I am able to export hours of 1080P 30FPS 40mbps through use of aver media center. Are you really telling me I can't stream crappy 720p stream in FMLE or Xsplit or dxtory without dropping frames at any framerate or variable bit rate? If I have to just keep at 480p I will be sad face panda bear. How do I know if mine support's AM3+ socket? How much is the thing you speak of this 8120?

I just recently started streaming and i used the xspllit tutorial on their youtube page and i havnt had and problem with lag and it runs pretty good but it doesnt look very clear, i have been running it in 720p. Was hoping you could suggest some better settings i figure maybe i messed up or perhaps im able to run better quality. here are my specs

Motherboard- Gigabyte ga 268xp ud4 atx
HDD- 2TB Western digital
SSD- Samsung 830 256gb
Ram- 16g DDR3
PSU- 750w

Thank you very much for the help !!

That rig has CPU & GPU to be able to play SC2 without having the stream disturb the game very much .

Your quality will be limited by your upload speed. Set the bitrate in Xsplit to about 80% of your measured upload speed, which means setting it 2200 Kbps.

I'm not sure what you're using to capture the game (Dxtory vs XSplit's built-in game capture vs Screen Region), but you could experiment with other capture options. Make sure the output resolution of the capture matches the stage resolution.

You could also try changing the preset from veryfast to faster (2700 at factory speed is right at the edge of being able to do faster preset), but if you notice slow gameplay or dropped frames put it back at veryfast immediately.
Can we get an official definition of "all-in"? Please?

i just recently started streaming, tried xsplit but could not manage anything close to decent audio with it so i switched to fmle and using virtual audio capture grabber i got decent audio, and vhscrcap for video.

my screen resolution is 1600x900 which apparently isnt supported by fmle, so what tutorials said to do was crop 1920x1080, but when i try that it crops my actual screen, but for some reason when i leave screen capture region at 1920x1080 it shows my screen normally without black bars. anytime i use a different upload resolution, FMLE will instantly crash, so ive been uploading at 1920x1080 which seems retarded uploading at a higher resolution than my screen displays in the first place...but its the only way i can figure to keep fmle from crashing.

next, i have have an issue where any time i open a program, FMLE will crash. I read that FMLE will crash if bitrate is too high compared to your upload rate, causing processor overload, so i put autoadjust on to drop frames if this should happen. however, i have never dropped a frame, even with this on, and crashes still occur when i open other programs. It seems if i have sc2/LoL/firefox or whatever programs open that i plan to use, it wont crash, but as soon as i open something, crash. This isn't 100%, but probably 75% of the time if i open a program it crashes. Also processor never reaches over 40-50%.

another issue is occasionally i will start FMLE (whether using GUI or command prompt interface) and my stream will not start. however, after stopping, the video will be there, and i can watch it, but the stream is not live while recording to be viewed.

3.6 ghz i7-3820 (overclocked to 4.2 ghz)
corsair h80 liquid cooling
16 gb ram
nvidia geforce gtx 570

upload speed: 20+mbps
bit rate:4000kbps
output size: 1920x1080
frame rate: 25
Format: H.264, main, 4.0
auto adjust: drop frames

EDIT: i tried the OBS streaming software, took less than 10 minutes to download and setup, and works better, is less processor intensive, streams higher quality @ lower bitrate, supports 1600x900, and as far as i can tell doesnt crash.

k I feel like an idiot, I'm streaing using OBS and twitch is the site, but I literally cant figure out where I even set stream resolution quality. I came across it a couple days ago and it to 720p but I dont remember where, and I want to turn it down a bit.

Yes. Make sure that x264 is set to veryfast preset, you're using other appropriate stream settings and try 540p30 then work up

you should also set OBS to save the files offline as well as streaming so that you can examine those files. Twitch playback (via flash player) is a common cause of playback issues when the stream and encoder is otherwise fine.
