The one thing that is a big problem with this is that for some reason unless I know the exact number of pixels I want to show, I cannot get only a portion part of my screen streamed. This program would work wonderful for people who stream games all full screen, but not if people are streaming only portions of their screens. So good for sc2 and LoL and such, but not for streaming more casual games.

I've had no problems selecting specific programs or screen regions...

Add software capture source
(name)
Select Window Capture (instead of Monitor Capture)
Select the program you're running windowed

EDIT: unlike selecting a windowed program in Xsplit, you won't get the window borders - just the screen area.

-OR-

Add software capture source
(name)
Check "Sub-Region"
Click "Select Region"
Size/Move the white box (drag corners, click-hold and drag) until it covers the area of the screen you want to capture.
Click outside the white area or press ESC

EDIT: *note* for manual region selection, the area extends to the very outside of the white box (not the inner black line that's used to indicate the inner edge of the border).

Why not simply use Window Capture and choose Inner window? That should work just fine.

Edit: Oh, cool, that's what the guy before me said, too.

Really great program, runs smoothly and I'm able to stream resolutions I haven't been able to stream with xSplit or FFsplit or Adobe media encoder. Going to stick with it.
Thanks a lot for the guide, great work!
Well, well, well - let's do this :D

Hi thank you for taking the time to create this program!!

I have a couple questions though, would it be possible to have it show mouse clicks like the way that xsplit does? And can the image slideshow source be set to randomize the order in which the images are displayed?

Hey Jim!

I have also a request: I would really love to have 2 possible microphone / auxilary audio devcies.

The problem I have is that i use spotify for music in the backgrond but also want commentary.

So I have to decide either to use spotify (cause it is on "wave"-device) or my microphone.

It would be SO great if you could add that option, cause none other streaming programm has that.

Thanks so much again

Inverted mouse cursor and multiple audio devices is planned -- just have to get the higher priority things out of the way. I try to make room for the lower priority things when I can, but I've just been busy. I can randomize the slide show, sure. I'll put it on the list.

Wow, this looks awesome and open source too! Very appealing compared to xsplits overly greedy (imo) subscription model. Definitely gonna have to lift up the hood and take a look so to speak later when I'm not busy with midterms and such. C++ Is my favorite language so it'll definitely be fun and educational to poke around. I'm super interested in how you managed to achieve such good performance. Thanks so much for your hard work, it's really appreciated!

Any chance to implement a delay option? From my limited knowledge I'd guess you would need to host servers to offer this and thus can't do this with a free program, but for all I know there could be another option.

Will this still be included in the whole free package? Could you shed any light on how you will program this?

Buffer to RAM/HDD, send later.

Of course it'll be included.. everything is free, and always will be. Anyway, it'd be buffering the signal for however many seconds/minutes the user chooses. There are apparently server-side solutions on some services, but from testing they don't seem very reliable, and seem to vary from service to service.

The issues with delaying is getting disconnected for whatever reason, internet outage or just the server disconnecting for whatever reason. But hey, anyone using the delay feature should go into it knowing full well the risks.

If you maintained the buffer of pending frames, even a disconnection shouldn't really be a problem other than potentially adding to the delay.

Couldn't find any specific post for this, but for those trying to stream on a fast laptop using the HD Truevision camera, here is a post to get the camera to capture motion well (remove the blurry low framerate effect on motions)

For me the best server is Frankfurt, DE, but it's quite often disconnects. Is this the server problem or the OBS? :/

Well, I really hope you look at my suggestion (a separate relay that can handle multiple streaming providers and also provide stream delay), To be honest, I don't think it's a case of "must" implement into obs, a separate "relay" will do just fine. I know, it's some extra work but at least you keep obs doing what is supposed to do, capture, encode and forward the data.

Oh and using BitBlt with CAPTUREBLT is a bitch, didn't found a solution to it so far.

I tested this program out and I really liked it. When I set xsplit to 60 fps it never really felt that smooth, but OBS does.

Xsplit: http://www.twitch.tv/wpnewborn/b/335620702

OBS: http://www.twitch.tv/wpnewborn/b/335958517

obs.Jim: The only thing I would really like to see added is a current viewers display. I can't seem to find one for that but it's not a big deal since I can always just go to my stream on twitch to check viewership.

Edit: I also want to point out you'll notice a big difference in audio quality (specifically with my computer's built-in mic) even though I was using the paid version of xsplit and streaming audio at the same bitrate. I don't know if its an audio encoding thing or what.
