Hello I've seen the got everything working so far on my modern stream room except modern online gaming plus streaming upstairs, and retro gaming on component downstairs
I noticed when I was using the house internet: VLC was eating up house internet by blocking my dad's video when we have 1.5 megabits inbound 400 KB outbound. And this was using my technique of Android broadcasting. it seems like I have to get off my house band with in order to raise the roof without interfering with dad's internet viewing. Our home only has at maximum 1.5 megabits in 400 kilobits out, and it's not for being a cheapskate. it's an internet desert. That's the best possible land speed here.
I did two things to alleviate it. the first is doing the actual broadcasting bandwidth on an Android phone by using one of those HDMI capture cards for 10-20 bucks and piping the HDMI out of the second screen directly into my Android. (What's a Mac guy doing with an Android? That's an issue for another topic.)
The other thing I did was I bought a wireless cell phone plan with unlimited quantity of data both when tethered as well as internally on the phone, and when tethered gets tethered speed of 5 to 12 Meg inbound, 2 to 5 Meg outbound, and altogether could get 40 Meg in 20 meg out. By the way I could tether my phone use 2 to 5 Meg out, and get 15 to 18 Meg out for broadcasting the video on Twitch via my Android phone and streamlabs OBS for Android, streaming the video and using a camera capture card program but instead of plugging in a USB camera, plugging in the capture card.
So far, two to five meg outbound will be enough to just get a stream of chat from speechchat.com so my computer voice could announce the words of the viewers and play my video locally on my Macintosh and then pipe the second screen directly into my Android where the rest of the bandwidth could be used to actually broadcast out as well as using one of those easy cap composite and S-Video capture cards, which can run independent of VLC therefore independence of network capacity.
And not to sound like a commercial unless someone could tell me a better deal than what I got which is unlimited 4G voice talk and text within phone and unlimited 3.5 G which is 5 to 12 Meg in two to five Meg out when tethered to computers and video game machines and other Home devices, single user 40 bucks a month.
There was only one problem maximum of a 2-hour broadcast. Because apparently you cannot use a usb-based capture card at the same time that you're trying to charge the phone even with appropriate usb-c splitters. So I have to start with a full camera and plan on ending it in 2 hours.
by the way I got a couple questions here but I don't think it should be part of the main question the main draw. My thing is probably so specific that everyone else would probably just guessing in theory. Questions on my response to my own post.
