Hi all !

First of all I would like to thanks again everyone here, you guys are just simply the best.
Special thanks to Jim, R1CH, ths|jack0r and han-d, mainly the last 2 for the Dual comp setup (http://www.helping-squad.com/two-pc-streaming-or-recording-without-a-capturecard/)

I have streamed 10H with this setup, and I am pretty glad of the results. (http://www.twitch.tv/2x2actionfox/b/573245170)

But I would like to improve it, and actually make it as nice as before in terms of design.
Comp1 = i7 laptop = Streaming Computer
Comp2 = i5 stationary = Playing Computer

First question is :
Would like to know if there is a way to control my scenes (and therefore the design) from the Comp1 Streaming computer, instead of the Comp2 Playing one.
(SC2 Scene switcher react to SC2 behavior and allow me to add sources such as Virtual Keyboard and XChat regarding of SC2 state, and I would like to it from Comp1 cauz the single monitor on Comp2 prevent me to do so)

Second question :
Since I am not (yet) familiar w/ the dual comp setup, han-d gave me some configuration to test but both of us aren't sure.
If I want a clean clear 720p@60FPS on twitch, what setup do you guys recommend for Comp2 and Comp1 please ? (you can find upper a link of a VOD of what I succeeded to achieve)
(incoming : printscreen of current configuration)

Last question, is there a way to monitor the streamed FPS on the viewer end ? I mean sometimes OBS display 60 FPS live and when I watch VOD its looks like 30-40 sometimes (when I still have ~100 FPS ingame, and no CPU/GPU/RAM overload)
Edit1 : I think I just found the perfect and answer to that last question, and oh what a surprise, it comes from R1CH => http://r-1.ch/analyze-twitch-vod.php?url=http://www.twitch.tv/2x2actionfox/b/573245170
Do you guys see anywrong in this analyse please ?
Also is there anywhere else http://r-1.ch/ I can find all R1CH ressources/magic ?

Guys, I am very happy to announce you that I finally made the Dual Computer Setup w/o Capture card, w/ Nginx, working very very fine.

Huge thanks to Jack0r, Jim and Han-d.

If you guys trying to achieve the same architecture, I would be glad to help you if I can, post here or in PM.

Here are my final settings, logs and VOD:

I just oppened a survey to decide if 1080p>720p according to you mates.

I have two pcs both with windows and would like to try this setup but would like to avoid using nginx if possible.

You can check Logs and you will see both of my computers are running Windows 7 :)
Nginx is also available for Windows, and you just have to run a .bat, thats all.

Ah ok, makes sense, thank you. Now what I have is a original xbox made into a PC with an i3 - 540. Is it possible with a Capture card to use it as a streaming PC or will i absolutely need something beefier?

Sorry, no idea about that.
I can help on doing what I did, but pretty much nothing more*. Open a new thread !
