Question / Help Scene switch problem, lag reports

Kowalski99 · Mar 1, 2014

Hi guys,
I am quite new with the usage of open broadcaster. So far I could solve most of the problems on my own. Now I have 2 thinks which I don't know how to fix.
The first one appears when I am switching scenes. I wanted to play League of Legends and need 2 Scenes, one for the client and one for the game. The first picture shows the client before I go ingame and the 2nd picture shows it after the game. As you can see the client size shrunk in the Stream. When I disable and reenable the source, the client is shown in his normal size. Any Ideas how to fix it?

The other problem might be a problem with my settings, I am not sure about it. When I set up my Stream in twitch, 2 of my friends helped me out. Both reported the same kind of lag where the stream loads every 5 seconds for 5 seconds. I checked it with my Laptop (I stream from my PC) and didn't had any form of a lag. I used https://obsproject.com/estimator to see which settings suit best for me. Does anyone have an idea why they have theese lags? Both can watch other streams without any troubles.

Kind regards
Kowalski

What method are you using to capture the client?

As for the delays, you aren't dropping frames to the issue is most likely between Twitch and your friends, not having a fast enough connection to the Twitch servers to download your video fast enough. You can try lowering your bit rate to see if that helps them, but there's not much more you can do. The buffering issue shouldn't happen to everyone who watches your stream.

I capture the client with Game Capture

dodgepong · Mar 2, 2014

You need to capture the client with Window capture, not game capture. It doesn't really work on the client, just the game.

Ok it solves the problem. :)
Thanks for your help.
