Okay. Here we go. I know it must have been asked already by someone but i searched for a couple of hours now and i didnt find an answer.
Basically i want to share my screen while im playing. This is easier said than done since all classic screen capturing softwares dont work as soon as the output is hardware accelerated. I thought it would be easy by just using a livestream. While this works there is still a problem. The latency is so high (about 6 seconds) that the stream gets useless. Just imagine having 6 seconds delay in a skype conference! This would lead to 12 seconds until you get your answer.
So i began searching. I found that it is possible to stream using x264 with very low latency (http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/249). I found that i should use my own server instead of twitch. I found that it may not even use OBS. However i didnt found how to make any software except open broadcaster capture directx video output. The server isnt a problem since there is a handy tutorial around here.
My question is: Is it possible to archive low latency (<1 second) with OBS? And what settings are needed to archive that?
I know i should use periodic intra refresh. But how do i enable it? I cant find any output of the encoder that may say me wheather the options i set work or not.
Hoping someone is able to answer to this
