Hey Deagle -- could you PM or email me a log file where you're having issues? You can access the logs through the program files folder, or if you're using binaries, type in %AppData%\OBS\logs in to your start/run to access them.
Also, next update the network code will be improved -- there's a slight oversight I made with the design that could cause problems in rare circumstances.

I just tested this, and the difference is highly noticable from xsplit! Just need to fine tune a couple things, but I'm sure I will be using OBS from now on.

Deagle - what settings are u using. It looks pretty good. ;] You use OBS capture or dxtory?

Best quality possible for me. Thinking about decreasing FPS amount.

This is actually true. With XSplit/DXTory I was getting 60-70 fps when streaming on low, 720p60.
Now I'm maxing the FPS cap (100FPS) all game long, when using OBS Capture instead of DXTory.
I don't know what the fuck you've done, but it sure is brilliant sir.

This is amazing. Thank you so much Jim! My point, which everybody seems to have missed, was at encoding performance. Sure, your GAME might be running faster, but very little can be done to make the encoded video any better. If you didnt have the CPU to encode @720p60 with Xsplit, you cant do it with OBS either. Game performance with screen capture is a whole other variable. People saying that they can suddenly encode at settings that they couldnt before need significant evidence for it to be considered anything but bullshit and/or placebo If a streaming program lowers my FPS to below 60 FPS. I can't encode at 60 FPS. If a streaming program does not lower my FPS to below 60, I at least have a shot at streaming at 60 FPS. So if my game is running faster, chances are I have expanded possibilities for streaming. I can give you significant evidence since Xsplit was pretty much broken for me across 3 generations of GPU's, but since its only my system I suppose it could be written off as anecdotal.
Upon overclocking my system, I am now achieving stable 100fps in game while streaming at 1080p60! All hail OBS!!!!!!!

What processor do you have? and how much overclock?

www.twitch.tv/youthstarcraft has all my settings in the info box!

You all are using software capture(OBS) or smth else(DXtory for example) ?
|
I'm using OBS in conjunction with DXtory I'm very happy about my fps performance but there's a problem anytime I stop preview or stop streaming it bassically just crashes the entire program is this common?
|
Please PM me the log files of any crashes if you have time. If you used an installer, you can access the logs from the start menu installation folder -- if you used the binaries, you can type in %AppData%\OBS\logs into start/run.

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone (or Jim, in particular  ) could give me advice on what bitrate, quality, all that jazz I can use with my computer specs:
I have a Samsung Series 7 Chronos (laptop, btw):
CPU: 3rd gen i&-3615QM at 2.3 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 640M
RAM: 6 GB DDR3
Native Resolution: 1600x900
As for my internet, with Ethernet I get roughly 35 up and 10 down. NO, I did not get that backwards. College internet is weird and I've confirmed with others that it's backwards of what it usually is.
So my question is, what Quality, Max Bitrate, CPU preset, Buffer Size and FPS should I stream at on OBS?

Your actual upload bandwidth is probably somewhat variable if you're sharing it with other people. Remember that quality is more "quality balance" between high motion scenes and low motion scenes (will probably need to update the text in the app to reflect this fact), and your bitrate affects how much you can realistically get out of it. But with that bandwidth you could probably set it to 10 and get consistent quality no problem. It seems like you have tons of bandwidth, so I'd try a super high 5000/5000 for video and whatever you want for audio. See how that works out for you. If you get yellow/red on the indicator, keep retrying with lower video values each time (keeping them equal if you don't know what they mean) until you get a consistent green. That's pretty much all you have to do.
Of course, if you're streaming a multiplayer game, you need to make bandwidth room for you game too, so you may want to lower it another 200-500 after that depending on the MP game you're playing. Just remember -- green is good.

I can do the same with a cpu two generations older than yours using Xsplit, FFsplit, OBS or dxtory capture, good if you have better results with one but it needs to be documented.
|
Sometimes I forget that people say Ivy Bridge is a new generation over Sandy Bridge. I generally think of them as the same generation.
That being said, I doubt YouthSC was trying to make a powerful statement about the software. More like just a success story.
|
I'm pretty sure 1080p at 60 FPS is almost impossible without a two machine setup. You can set OBS to 60 FPS, but whether or not you are actually encoding at 60 FPS is a different matter.
|
1080p at 60 is not really about whether you can or can't, its about whether you can or can't when the shit hits the fan in-game.
If you notice, a lot of people can do 60 FPS streaming but back down to 45 or 30 FPS because they want to play first and stream second.
|
amazing program. so simple to use, way less choppy than xplit. my hardware isn't bad but it's not optimal for streaming yet with OBS it's so smooth.
|
Can I stream 420p or better with this internet?

Hej. I have a question. Can u add a options in which we can manual set the ressolution of our stream? Now we can for example downscale it from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 or less. I'd like to try 1600x900 but i can't set it.
Have a nice day. ;]
