OBS redux

[Matt]

I have tested it now, can finally include splits in my streams, yay!

Everything seems to work great! I installed WavTap to get the game sound from the Elgato.
I got some complains about the sound, nothing huge, but apparently some double effect was present,
that could be heard as a delay/repeat of sound from things that happened earlier in the stream, strange.
So will do some trouble shooting on that.

But yeah, very excited to finally be able to feature splits and to not get those grey VOD preview screen on Twitch
anymore. Thanks again for your awesome work!!

Just to be clear: are you just doing window capture with the EyeTV software? I'm guessing this must be the case, otherwise you wouldn't need WavTap.

@Matt - I don't know what EyeTV software is, but my set up is: I get the game capture from my Elgato capture card/Elgato software, and window capture that into OBS. Yes, I have noticed that I can get sound without running WavTap but for some reason the sound is like way WAY better with WavTap running, than not.
…..


Edit: I have tested multiple streams now and am totally digging the window capture feature!

One big issue I have though is the quality of the stream, it is much much worse than what
I normally get, the smoothness is gone.
Now, could this be because I use the wrong settings (default) or could it
be that I have created too many "scenes", or what could be the issue?

Why are there no Windows builds? ...

 

[Jack0r]

Main reason: We have a fully functional Windows version.
So Mac came first, and linux is also working to some extent, the Windows version will be next I guess.

I meant that OBS Multiplatform itself will support Hauppauge devices. I did not say it would support them immediately.

As i said i misinterpreted what was stated on the last thread. Oh well
I still need to get a HDCP device to record with my HDMI cable, Sony refuses to remove that on the PS3 :(

Hi guys, obs cant get Starcraft II full windowed mode. Can it take it with the game capture in the new patch?
The software is very nice in this early stage! I would like to help but im not programmer! Greetings from Costa Rica! Pura vida!

Thanks* Emanuel Murillo Coto. What specifically happens when you try? You may need to be a bit more descriptive about the problem.

 

[Emanuel Murillo Coto]

Oh sorry, i said nothing about the problem! lol
Well just doesnt appear in the options to get it. I can get dock, safari and any other window but not starcraft II. If i put it in windowed mode (but not full windowed) it can take it, but it's a little uncomfortable play in a little window. I have a little delay with the audio/video in the stream, any suggestion? Thanks!

Well, if you're playing starcraft fullscreen I would generally recommend using display capture instead of window capture, it has better performance, though the downside is of course that it shows your whole screen and thus not always what people want. We're going to be implementing a game-capture like thing in the next version (hopefully) so perhaps that will help with that particular issue.

 

[Shriukan]

Emanuel. Actually you can just select the window in windowed mode and just go back into fullscreen. It's a workaround but it's still game capture :)

Good news, I have the HD-PVR 2 working capturing via directshow in the new version. I've been wanting to get this device stuff out of the way first for windows. Going to finally go through all the devices I bought and get them all working to the best of my ability, then finally, finally I'll be free of the capture device madness (or will I?). At least the roxio, HD-PVR 1 & 2, as well as a number of other devices.

*dies of excitement*

Now I want the windows version even more, I ended up paying for an xsplit license because I hate having to use the screen region work around for console streaming.

 

[Amenince]

I'm definitely excited for this as well. I've been using the Roxio window capture for so long and it's pretty tedious using that method (extra CPU usage from the Roxio preview screen). I actually refused to buy an Xsplit license considering OBS does a fantastic job. I really appreciate the work you guys have done and will continue to do in the future!

thank god. i've been waiting for the roxio fix for ages!

 

[Drumroll]

I'm new to using OBS. Just decided to try out streaming. I have the HD PVR 1 so I'm curious if you have an eta on the new OBS MultiPlatform Windows build? I'm really anxious to start streaming some console games!

 

[Sapiens]

No ETA other than "When it's done."

 

[dodgepong]

New versions tend to release on a roughly monthly basis, though that schedule is not strictly adhered to. I wouldn't start looking for a new release for at least 3 weeks or so, and even then, it might be a bit longer after that.

Aight thanks for the info

I've got the roxio working, HD PVR 2 working, HD PVR rocket working, hopefully the HD PVR 1 as well soon.

AWESOME! I can't wait :)
