Alright, I need a tutorial on how to stream using Open Broadcaster Software AND use the AverMedia LGP. I don't know what settings to use, or what to click to link up the LGP. I don't even know how to set up the scenes and stuff :/

I hope you guys can help, thanks in advance!

Have you read any of the guides?

Have you read any of the guides?

I'm so sorry if I seem like a lazy person. So far I haven't found any guides on how to setup LGP + OBS.

I also have another problem. I''ve read through some threads and have found my way to some settings to set up my Avermedia LGP. The problem is that I can't seem to click 'OK' in the Device Selection menu. It gives me an 'Invalid Resolution' error. Can anyone assist me on this?

EDIT: Yet ANOTHER problem. When I've set everything up; I click on preview stream it gives me this red screen of some sort.

That would be because OBS does not support direct capture from the Avermedia LGP (to my knowledge). In order to use the LGP with OBS you will have to window capture the Avermedia software.

Download and install the latest drivers/firmware and the Stream Engine software from AVerMedia's site - http://gamerzone.avermedia.com/products/live_gamer_series/live_gamer_portable/download/en

Reboot, run the Stream Engine software and make sure it's set up the way you want, then add it as a video capture device source to the 32-bit version of OBS. It will not work with the 64-bit version, be sure to run the right one.

Alright, I got it to work but there's just ONE more problem that's bothering me so much. I've been told that when I get a capture card it'll take all the stress off the CPU and I can stream without lagging anymore but this doesn't seem to be the case. Before this, I would stream with OBS but without a capture card, it stressed up the CPU so in-game I would lag but of course on stream it would appear fine. No one enjoys playing while lagging. So like I said I invested into this AVerMedia device but to no avail. Still lags. Any idea on this? Perhaps I'm using the capture card the wrong way?
