He Guys,
Just wondering how you guys would deal with the following issue:
I use a somewhat strange two pc streaming set up because of my 21:9 monitor. It's native resolution (and therefore my gaming resolution) is 3440x1440. I do not know of any capture cards that will handle that correctly (or will a 4k capture card deal with that?). In order to still use a two pc stream I have the following set up:
Gaming PC has two network cards. One is used for all regular internet/gaming traffic. The other is used to stream with OBS at 20000 kb/s in the full res (3440x1440) to my laptop. This laptop has two networkcards as well. One, strictly for the stream (this one picks up the mentioned stream) a second for internet (and stream) traffic. Using NginX the OBS on my laptop pics up the stream from the first PC (as a mediasource in OBS) and adds the built in laptop webam and an overlay....The audio is coming from my gaming system. All audio from the laptop (=streaming system) is disabled.
At the start of the stream I delay my webcam with roughly 3,5 seconds (1 second because OBS on the gaming pc buffers for one second) and 2,5 extra because that is the delay between two pc's. At the start of the stream, al is well....But after some time (say an hour) I start to notice that de webcam actually needs more and more delay to stay in sync with the audio from the game pc...Restarting both systems helps of course...but the viewers won't like that....
My options are (as far is I understand as streaming n00b):
-> Don't send microphone audio from gaming pc to streaming pc and use dedicated mic from streaming PC.
I don't think this would work because that would mean my voice and my mouth would be in sync on the stream, but would not correspond with the game image after a while.
-> Connect webcam to gaming pc and send everything as a single, synchronous stream to the second pc.
I don't want this because I do intend to use a webcam with background removal in the near future. This would use CPU power on the gaming pc that I want to keep for the game. The streaming PC has enough CPU power to spare, so that should take the webcam at all times....
Very curious about your suggestions OBS community!
Regards,
MG
