Question / Help I have 2 main problems right now.

[vadersdemise]

I would first like to say, you have done an awesome job by making a freeware streaming program! I totally love it, and in my opinion it offers better quality than XSplit.

I have been having two problems so far:

1.) White Screens on Stream

Link to error: http://www.twitch.tv/vadersdemise/b/336121431
Game with error: Battlefield: Bad Company 2

So far this is the only game I played that has this error, I'm not sure why. The stream just shows a white screen but the audio is working. Also, OBS then says "reconnecting" and has a little countdown.


2.) YouTube Live Streaming

I really do not like twitch.tv since I already have a gathering on YouTube. Therefore, I would rather stream on YouTube, since I have Live enabled on my partner account.

I go into Broadcast Settings and change the "Streaming Service" to "custom." I then add go to "other encoders" option on YouTube Live setup page and copy my "Stream Name" and "Primary Server URL" into OBS. I then click apply.

After this I go into YouTube and start my stream and prime up OBS by clicking "start streaming." But once I do that, the program hangs for about three seconds and comes up with the error: "Could not connect to server." I'm not sure why this is not working, as I am fairly certain I entered everything in correctly.


Thanks a bunch!

Make sure you run games in windowed fullscreen mode, fullscreen mode will not be captured by software capture. For youtube, make sure you are splitting the Server URL into an actual hostname and path, you can't just put the entire URL as the server.

Oh man! Bad Company 2 doesn't have the option! Do you think this will or can be implemented into the program in the future?


I've separated it multiple times, yet nothing happens. I may be doing this wrong, and I would like to post the server here, if that is OK with you.

Unfortunately, I had kind of an awkward setup for custom servers, which I need to adjust. If you get "Could not connect to server", then you typed in something wrong.

Let me give an example. The URL youtube could say something like

FMLE URL:  rtmp://545454blabla.stream.youtube.com/myserver/thingy54545
stream key:  superstreamkeyofawesomeness

for my app, you would type "545454blabla.stream.youtube.com" into the server box. "myserver/thingy54545" into the channel box, and "superstreamkeyofawesomeness" into the stream key box.

I will attempt to fix this in the future to properly do the FMLE format

I'm just going to PM you, because my stream server is rather weird. Thanks a bunch for the prompt replies!
