Is this the first post here?

Yes

Does anybody have any experience streaming a PS3 with a capture card? I think the one I got is incompatible with it, but I wasn't sure if there was some kind of trick to it or not.

Anyone know who to stream Xbox One to twitch but using obs and a facecam as well?

You need a capture card to use obs (edited)

11:31 AM

right now the best one is razer ripsaw for being as good and cheaper than the elgato one

hi everyone, i assume this servers are full of streamers so i'd need some help, in form of a personal convo is preferred but links to guides would be very much appreciated as well. I feel like going a lil aggressive by streaming on multiple platforms but i haven't figure out how to use the software properly and i have no knowledge on its benefits and consequences

2:08 PM

and is my strategy on going aggressive by streaming multiple platform is a good idea? or would it backfire me?

@Deleted User What is the capture card that you're trying to use on the PS3?

10:04 PM

So I haven't streamed anything for several months, and I came back to it today to stream some old school NES, and unfortunately my stream was super laggy. Nothing in my settings or internet service has changed since the last time I streamed, other than me replacing my old microphone (a Blue Yeti) with a new one (AT2035 through a Focusrite Scarlett Solo). Any ideas on what could be causing this lag?

I don't think changing the microphone would cause the lag considering you're going through a USB device. Maybe something running in the background is interfering? Have you installed any new software, or not used the computer at all in a while? Maybe it's updating in the background.

I'm using an agptek capture card. I only bought it because it can also take component video input, but I don't think it can decode ps3 video feed. I might need a different capture card for that :(

Hey I'm wanting to start streaming in the new year as it seems like it would be fun. Do any of you stream over WiFi? The room I plan on doing it from has no eithernet connection and I rent my house so I don't want to run a bunch of wires

6:26 AM

6:27 AM

That's the WiFi speeds from the room I want to do it from, not my full connection but not terrible

6:30 AM

My full connection is 300 down 15 up unlimited data

It is more than possible to stream on this internet. I stream on a worse connection and my stream does just fine

Anyone have advice for mobile streaming? Don't have a pc right now, so mobile is my only option for a bit, but I'm having an issue recording my voice while using discord. Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I'm using StreamLabs

I kinda wanna start streaming with Streamlabs, I got a ryzen 5 3600 and a 2080s, where can I find the optimal settings for streaming?

I know streamlabs has an optimize option in the settings @Ratsch

I used that one, but they don't seem to be optimized As for encoding it went for software rather than the Nvidia nvenc encoder

Hey! I'm having a strange problem. When I record in simple output, in Streamlabs, the audio doesn't seem to be recording? When I try to play in VLC it says "...cannot decoded mp4a (AAC...)" but every app I try to play the file in can't recognize the audio. I've tried Windows Media Player to Premiere Pro. Premiere recognizes that there's an audio track in the file browser, but it won't actually import it, just the video. If I record with advanced output on but make no changes to the settings it works fine. It was also recording fine two days ago. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know a smart light bulb that will work on the unsecure network? Or do you know a way around it to make it look like it’s secure?

Apparently it's impossible to google this question

11:09 PM

How do people live stream while moving around in public? Mobile streaming on the street and stuff

ok so I’m having a problem currently, does anyone know any free video editing softwares that is genuinely good?

@Deleted User there's a lot of potential answers depending on what you're looking to do, but shotcut or openshot may be worth exploring

9:25 PM

@Mojave#2427 are you looking to stream live? The answer may involve using a lot of mobile cellular data if so. Depending on how you want to do it you may stream directly to twitch from the mobile app or connect to a laptop and use streaming software on there to do anything more complex

9:26 PM

@ColeLaF first, why does the network have to be unsecure?

9:27 PM

Doing this leaves a very large potential attack vector

9:27 PM

And smart devices are currently rather ripe for security issues

Streamlabs OBS - anyone ever run into issues with a mic only being picked up on one audio channel (left), regardless of input settings?

2:45 AM

@Deleted User Davinci resolve is hands down the best free editing software around.

hello, when i right click on anything on obs it shows up on my other monitor.

11:11 PM

like the settings window will go there or the small windows when you right click something to change its properties

can anyone help with duel pc stream set up im stumped and need help

@chizz what have you tried, what errors do you get, how have you set it up?

hey guys

2:10 PM

i have this Pc, ryzen 1600x, 16 gbram and a gtx 1050 ti

would i be able to stream fifa 20 to twitch?

I have cox internet so my data usage cap is 1TB, what bitrate should I set my stream so I don’t go over the amount. I want to be able to stream consistently

I'm Asutralian so I have 3.76 Mbps upload speed. Can someone help me with my streaming settings? I've tried testing my settings almost everyday for a whole month and nothing seems to work.

I’m looking for suggestions, I recently got an 1151 partial build from a friend, and I’m looking to use it as a dedicated stream PC. What CPU should I get? Aiming for 1080p60, but I’m not sure what the cap should be for the power. I could easily get something that’ll hit that bar. But I want to save as much $$ as possible.

Hey guys, i am looking into OBS, moving from Streamlabs. I've got it working ok, but now looking into alerts, and overlays for donations, and user activities. Is it true that OBS has none build in, and that i need other software for this? do you have any recomendations for what i can use (mainly allerts really). Does twitch have features that i can directly build into obs?

my webcam is always displaying a white screen when being used on any program. antivirus isnt blocking access and i uninstalled and reinstalled drivers several times. anyone know how to fix? (edited)

I would like to stream 2 webcams at the same time any decent free webcam hosting can do this and can stream at 1080p 60fps?? (edited)

11:56 PM

Would Youtube Live be a good option for 24/7 streaming??

Sorry for asking as I feel like this is one topic you guys always get. I have been streaming on/off but have not streamed as often as I would like as the stream itself looks horrible.

Hey guys, I am hoping somebody can help me with some basic information about what type of hardware I should have between a XLR mic i'm planning to get and my computer. Specifically, I need quite a bit of clean gain for a electrovoice RE27 mic, and I want to have latency free mic monitoring

4:58 PM

I was thinking about a Scarlett 8i6 but if I do EQ and noise gate and whatnot in OBS I'm guessing it will not be reflected back in the mic monitoring? Would a mixer be a better choice? If so, is there one with enough gain to run a mic like the electrovoice? Thanks for any help

@Nutcracker Syndrome I'm not familiar with your mic, but I use an AT2035 XLR with the Scarlett Solo. The readings you are provided by OBS are not in depth, and really only let you see the volume of the microphone, so if you wanted to fine tune the highs mids and lows of your voice I would recommend a more advanced interface that would give you those readings. To be fair though you probably can't get that as well as no latency without a high price tag

I just picked up a C922 Webcam what is the best free streaming service to test out my webcam. Which one of these free services is the best Younow, Konduit, Smashcast, Vaughn live, Vimeo. I am not a gamer.

@DJboutit Well, you'd first want to use a program like OBS https://obsproject.org/ and get yourself a scene. Next, I'd honestly recommend YouTube Streaming, or even Facebook, but there are other platforms that could be better for you, depending on what kind of content you create.

I having a problem I have been testing streaming to Youtube with a C922 I am using OBS or Streamlabs and my stream on youtube will getting any higher than 360p any ideas how to fix this?? (edited)

8:34 PM

Can this webcam stream at 1080p or does it only record video at 1080p??

Hi All! after many years of watching streams and playing video games ive decided to jump in head first. i don't expect anything to come from this aside from a fun hobby and would love for someone to help me get started because I've run into just about every technical problem we can. ive picked up an el Gato HD60S+ capture card and when i began recording gameplay we hit frame rate caps and couldn't figure out why. I'm pretty lost in all aspects and would love somebody who has been through the ropes to help me out. Thanks for everything in advance!

Can anybody help me

Yellow icon in OBS, any idea why?

Hi guys. I need help with something. I have:

a gaming PC
macbook pro

What I want is: From the gaming PC I want stream the macbook pro screen. In other words, im going to use my gaming pc as streaming pc and the macbook pro as the gaming pc. But, ofcourse, not going to play in a macbook pro. I'm going to stream programming stuffs.

This can be done a few ways

7:24 PM

The first is via a HDMI Capture Card

7:25 PM

Either this one, for the ability to reverse and capture desktop to macbook: https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-PlayStation/dp/B01DRWCOGA/

7:26 PM

Or this one, plugged into a PCIE 3.0 X4 slot in the desktop: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014MQIVPS/

7:27 PM

The "In" port is the source you are capturing, and the "Out" port is where you can pass through the source to some other display, like a TV

7:28 PM

you need at least Two HDMI Cables to do this method, and the capture card itself

7:29 PM

Alternatively, you can do something similar using NDI OBS. I have a resource I can link you that is applied to audio, but also supports Video over ethernet/wifi.

7:30 PM

@Jonathan

7:31 PM

I just don't want to overstep my bounds by linking without permission

Anybody have a SMG overlay image I could get a copy of??

Got a weird audio issue for you guys. I sound fine, but audio from discord sounds tinny on stream and nowhere else. What is causing it?

Is your I game audio slider lower on obs? Like your mic input is high but the device audio slider is lowered?

I need help with an issue with my Scarlett solo third Gen and my mic. I have an at2020 plug into the pre amp, for reference everything works straight out of the box with the driver updates. The issue I'm having is that I'm using line out to achieve higher mic quality but the line out is creating static and my computer's audio is hear from mic. Any way I can fix this?

That would be it @Shanecus ,thanks much

@untitledcookingkitchen glad I could help

How do you post a Twitch stream on Facebook

@DJboutit as in a Facebook status?

with like a video player

1:52 AM

I see some on twitch promote groups

1:55 AM

Maybe those are from Facebook live

Yea a lot of the ones that are active streams on Facebook are from Facebook streaming

1:57 AM

If you are affiliated or partner you have to normally wait 24 hours before posting on other sites

1:57 AM

So you can’t multi stream your twitch content then, they want it unique to their site for that time.

1:57 AM

You can stream and hour on twitch. Then switch to mixer. Then switch to Facebook if you really want.

I run a internet radio station I just have a webcam on my station room I am not a gamer.

2:02 AM

I stream at 900p

Ah, well then I would just find what medium works best. Facebook will hit people you directly know faster, but in all you should try to combine all socials to market

Ok thx

Alternatively, you can do something similar using NDI OBS. I have a resource I can link you that is applied to audio, but also supports Video over ethernet/wifi.

@Avalon the Dargon Slayer send me a DM, mate. Also, thanks for helping me out. I ended up finding the same answer! I might get a Elgato HD60 soon.

Hello, my job is looking to stream their service on youtube or twitch. What do recommend for camera How get it on the computer Get it streamed

@ReaverCity how far out does the camera have to see? One person or like a class room?

Class room

8:06 PM

It is for funerals

@ReaverCity I would suggest getting one that has panning if it isn't too loud or disruptive, plus it can usually auto focus on the sound of who is talking. You seem them in classrooms a lot. Like the https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=35520&gclid=Cj0KCQjwx7zzBRCcARIsABPRscNBxujSkEXBkCY2kTKeCEzr8cmXLhpsnhPd8woDFJfj2ExEB_KteoQaApNBEALw_wcB would be decent for that

This Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Conferencing Camera is designed for video conferencing in medium-sized conference rooms and is perfect for meetings with 6-10 participants. It works with computer-based

8:40 PM

If the panning may seem loud to the setting a nice logitech pro would get you by. It will be stationary and you control the zoom on that when you set it up

8:40 PM

I hope that helps some

Thanks

8:55 PM

I think wide but sationary camera is more of what we are looking for

The monoprice is looking pretty decent do you know how good it does for wide shots?

It was in a few of the classrooms I went to and we never had issues with it. However, your exact needs are something I don't have experience in. I am primarily a magic and variety streamer.

Oh cool

hey

3:47 PM

OBS said it no longer supported my version

3:47 PM

So I updated and now it won't open

3:47 PM

I have a GTX 1080 8GB

3:47 PM

Drivers are up to date

any logs in %appdata%\obs-studio\logs ?

4:14 PM

I've done some googling and loads of people have the same problem but with different solutions. Try removing and reinstalling both obs and your drivers

4:15 PM

clear out installation directories of obs

Hey all, Mostly PC but want to run the new Doom from my Xbox with the overlays of my pc. So I’m needed a capture card. Need suggestions on cheap and easy probably from Best Buy?

Hey all, I'm running a stream where people are calling in over discord video chat and then I'm broadcasting those calls through OBS onto youtube. Basically, was wondering if theres a way for someone to call in such a way that my computer doesn't have buffer the call in discord, and then in obs as well before it goes out to youtube. Seems to make the stream lag a bit. Basically call in "directly" to obs either by hiding the video component of the calll on discord (or another app), but it would still show up as a source in obs, so I'm not have to buffer two videos at once. Let me know if that doesnt make sense, sorry I'm new to all this!

Wassup everyone! I am looking for guidance. I have streamed for a hobby from time to time.. but I am still lost in all settings and stuff.. And should I be using obs studio or streamlabs obs.. what are the major differencies with those? I have following setup: -Intel i9 9900K, OC'd to 5,1 GHz -msi rtf 2070 super -16 gigs of ddr4 so if there is anyone who would find some time to talk with me in DM's or in here. I would really appreciate that :3 Thanks in advance! -Kupru-

for some reason in OBS the red outline that let's me resize sources isn't appearing now, any ideas why?

https://www.speedtest.net/result/9169007387 my speed test. So is bitrate still relevant in 2020 when it comes to downloading streamed videos ? Because I can stream perfectly fine at 1080p only problem I'm facing is the limitations twitch put on my upload because I cannot stream a perfect 1080p picture 6000 mbps just isn't enough for a fast-moving first-person shooter.

Hey guys. Any suggestions on a software to record/live stream multiple Skype or Zoom guests in a live-show fashion?

hey guys so im new to streaming and i stream League of legends to youtube from obs i plan to try mixer once i get my stream key however im currently having an issue the gameplay on the stream is slower than the gameplay itself its not delayed slow its just feels like its in slow motion sort of and im not sure how to fix it my obs settings are 60fps 3500kbps etc my internet is very stable and i dont have issues with the network. i would be thankful for some advice thank you

Hey guys, new to streaming and wondering if anyone knows how to route my SSL 2+ properly through Voice Meeter. I can route ableton through it so I know it can work but I can’t get the microphone to work. Like the signal is coming out but voice meeter doesn’t register it. The alternative is I route everything through the ssl and open an audio channel in ableton but then I can’t control the microphone as freely.

Hello, I'm new to the streaming thing and I'm trying to figure a few things out. I just picked up the Elgato HD60 S so I can stream ps4, switch, and possibly PC. My current headset is one designed for PC using the 2 3.5mm jacks. I mostly intend to do single player type games, so team speak isn't something I'm worried about, but I'm curious as to how I can use the capture card for getting both my game audio and my audio at once. I have seen the videos of using a y-set up to plug my headset into a single 3.5 jack, then use Chat Link as well to connect it all, but if I'm not playing multiplayer games, would I potentially be able to get away with just plugging in the Mic portion of my headset into the capture card? If not then what suggestions would you have? Also, before I even unbox the capture card, I did buy external as I read it works better for more console gaming, but should I maybe swap to the Pro instead? They were the same price where I picked it up at and I can easily add another card to my PC if needed.

I want to stream 8 DVDs of Dream Team 1992 Summer Olympics basketball. I would do one per day over 8 days. No commentary by me. Just Marv and Bob. How do I do this?

Hello all. New streamer and I'm having a pretty irritating issue with some delay/lag. Here is the problem I am having. I am trying to stream from a console, and am using Streamlabs OBS. Now, for the viewer, the stream if fine. Audio and visual sync up. The problem is on my end as I play! I'm experiencing some visual delay/lag that is hindering my ability to play. I streamed Smash Ultimate, and was reduced to commentating since everything I saw was roughly a quarter of a second behind, and left me unable to play well at all. How do I fix this delay in visual? The odd thing is, at one point when I was testing before I started my stream up, everything ran just perfectly! Then as soon as I started up, the delay hit. It even does it offline! Feel free to DM me if you know how to solve this. (edited)

Hi everybody. Not 100% sure this is the right place to be asking but I have a bit of a technical problem with just recording/streaming. I am a school teaching in Australia that is trying to upskill my workmates in recording videos online during the pandemic we are currently facing. I am showing them how to use the xbox game bar as its the only software that is installed on their work devices without having to get them to come back in and install something better like OBS. I am currently trying to record a video of a guide on how to set up the Xbox game bar but I cannot seem to get the overlay to appear when I record using OBS. Was wondering if anyone has tried to do something along these lines and knows how to actually record the overlay that appears. Thanks in advance TLDR: does anyone know how to display the xbox game bar overlay when you are recording a screen capture (edited)

@Deleted User This discord isn't for movie streaming

hey guys, I have got a elagto 4k60 pro recently and it seems to have some audio delays that increase the longer I stream, does anyone know a fix for that? I mainly use streamlabs obs, but I got the same problem using obs studio CPU: AMD Ryzen5 3600 SSD: CRUCIAL P1, 1 TB SSD, intern RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX GPU: nVidia RTX 2080 Super Capture Card: Elgato 4K60 Pro Microphone: Røde NT1-A Klinke Audiointerface: Focusrite Scarlett Solo (2G) (edited)

So soon I'm going to start streaming again for some speed run stuff along with messing around with friends however to do so I will need a capture card and need suggestions on that subject. If anyone has any affordable yet effective capture cards that they have experience with or just think highly of if they wouldn't mind linking them to me that be wonderful

@SynC_CHB I'm not an expert but anyone who can answer will first need to know: what platform are you streaming from and what kind of cable? What resolution/framerate (no need for 4k or even 1080p if you're streaming retro)? What operating system and what setup (TV, no TV)?

Also what do you deem affordable for the card

By the way personally I'm looking for a cheap capture card with Component In ( + sound) and USB out, no need for HDMI. It has to work with Linux ie. no weird proprietary drivers needed... if anyone has any pointers, thanks

9:13 AM

I don't know if USB 3.0 is any useful if I plan to stream 480 or 720 (Component) from an original Xbox?

9:17 AM

a cheap HDMI to USB would also work (for the same usage) as I have the cables to get an HDMI output from my original Xbox but I can't find anything that is not wildly overkill

So. This project of mine is going to be the end of me and its starting to really annoy me and I'm looking for a solution. Can anyone give me some options for 24/7 365 streaming endpoints from OBS? A group I work for has a damn red-tail hawk nest up on their billboards and they've wanted me to live stream this. I was initially using Facebook Live to stream 24/7 but it keeps randomly disconnecting and expiring the video now and now it looks like the streaming over 8 hours option is completely remove (I'm guessing related to Covid-19 and bandwidth constraints). Does anyone have any solutions?

What is the deal with Destiny 2 and needing to move it from Steam to your PC for saving? I had a lot notes pop up in the beginning of launching the game.

hey guys so i am having a major issue past few days with dropping major frames i have been using the same settings for past few months but lately i just keep dropping frames i just dropped 70000 frames in 20 mins. my internet is a good speed ping 9, 194 download, 235 upload. but as of like a week ago i just keep dropping frames and idk what to do. im using obs.

@lumpy1313 One thing that happened to me recently is a Windows update changed my priority on certain programs when they are running. Try opening OBS, running a test, opening task manager, going to details, find the OBS process, and setting that to high priority. See if that fixes your issue

I’ve been wondering, i need an editing software for a project I’m working on and I wanted to know if stuff like filmora has a watermark on it or if there’s any editing software you could recommend that’s free.

hey so my stream labs is just showing a black screen instead of the capture. i turned off the hdcp setting and nothing happened everything is plugged in and the elgato is sending everything through. all i am getting is a black screen. i am using an elgato hd60 s+ does anyone know what's wrong? @Shanecus (edited)

Yea I can call through here now while my dinner cools a bit

thanks.

12:01 AM

Hey, everyone. New streamer here. So I'm doing a project where I'll need a bar to fill up manually (therefor I can't modify a Streamlabs widget... I assume). I know jack sh- about coding and computers, so a pal wrote a javascript, but I don't understand how to use it as a source on my stream. Can anyone help me with this?

1:32 PM

I tried adding a browser source, but 1) I don't know what I'm actually doing and 2) the code just appears as text rather than the bar I want.

hey i was wondering if anyone knew the specs required or a pc to be able to run stream labs and obs?

is anyone available to help me out?

hey guys! is anyone able to help me with a streaming issue?

@lordtubington9 if you post the problem someone might have a solution

@Dastr95 Hey, so if you create two files in a folder

11:08 PM

one called bar.html

11:09 PM

11:09 PM

and one called bar.js

11:09 PM

// [email protected] version is used // Docs: http://progressbarjs.readthedocs.org/en/1.0.0/ var bar = new ProgressBar.Line('#container', { strokeWidth: 4, easing: 'easeInOut', duration: 1400, color: '#2af560', trailColor: '#eee', trailWidth: 1, svgStyle: {width: '100%', height: '100%'}, text: { style: { // Text color. // Default: same as stroke color (options.color) color: '#9999', position: 'absolute', right: '0', top: '30px', padding: 0, margin: 0, transform: null }, autoStyleContainer: false }, from: {color: '#FFEA82'}, to: {color: '#2af560'}, step: (state, bar) => { bar.setText("100/386 obtained"); } }); setInterval(drawBar, 1000) function drawBar() { bar.animate(1.0); // Number from 0.0 to 1.0 }

11:10 PM

and then add a browser source

11:10 PM

and choose bar.html

11:10 PM

11:11 PM

you'll get a bar like this

11:11 PM

I changed the script so it will auto refresh

11:12 PM

so you want to adjust the setInterval(drawBar, 1000) to something bigger, that will do it once a second right now

11:12 PM

and on each refresh it will get the numbers here

11:12 PM

step: (state, bar) => { bar.setText("100/386 obtained"); } }); setInterval(drawBar, 1000) function drawBar() { bar.animate(0.5); // Number from 0.0 to 1.0 }

so if you change them in the file it will make the bar longer

11:13 PM

and change the text

I will get to this straight away! Thank you so so so so much, I will absolutely do this. Can I paste these codes in two notepad files then and change the file type to .js/.html just by exchanging the .txt with those names?

yes exactly that

11:14 PM

bar.html and bar.js

Awesome, man! You're a savior. I can already tell it works!! Is there a way for me to change the appearance of the bar somehow? Not that this is necessary at all, I love it the way it is right now, just curious.

it's this part in the js file

11:17 PM

strokeWidth: 4, easing: 'easeInOut', duration: 1400, color: '#2af560', trailColor: '#eee', trailWidth: 1, svgStyle: {width: '100%', height: '100%'},

Awesome! I'm so happy right now, this is fantastic!

no problem. I might have made a mess of the timer a bit, I thought the js was doing it but I left a test refresh in the html. I'll have a bit of play and update you in a bit

Noticed I couldn't find a way to not have it fill automatically, but I don't mind that for now!

Yeah I think slobs only uses the first instance. Let me have a look at that, I'm interested to see how it works. I've not looked at widgets or anything before

Is the "setInterval" command unnecessary perhaps, if I want to fill it a little bit for every time I catch a new Pokémon?

11:24 PM

I have no clue about coding, but I assumed that this is the part of the code that fills the bar on its own.

Okay so the interval in the js is redundant so you can replace it with this

11:27 PM

// [email protected] version is used // Docs: http://progressbarjs.readthedocs.org/en/1.0.0/ var bar = new ProgressBar.Line('#container', { strokeWidth: 4, easing: 'easeInOut', duration: 1400, color: '#2af560', trailColor: '#eee', trailWidth: 1, svgStyle: {width: '100%', height: '100%'}, text: { style: { // Text color. // Default: same as stroke color (options.color) color: '#9999', position: 'absolute', right: '0', top: '30px', padding: 0, margin: 0, transform: null }, autoStyleContainer: false }, from: {color: '#FFEA82'}, to: {color: '#2af560'}, step: (state, bar) => { bar.setText("100/386 obtained"); } }); bar.animate(1.0);

11:28 PM

and in the html file, this part

11:28 PM

setInterval('reload()',14000)

11:29 PM

replace it with setInterval('reload()',600000)

11:29 PM

and it will load the bar every 10 minutes, set it higher for a longer time

11:29 PM

and then every ten minutes it will update the bar size and the numbers with whatever you edit the file have, so you could change it from bar.animate(0.1); to bar.animate(0.2); (edited)

Okay, is it perhaps smarter then to set it for a shorter time, assuming I want it to update as soon as I change the number? Say I set it for only 10 seconds, does that mean it will take 10 seconds for it to update once I change the number?

11:31 PM

Maybe I misunderstand how the code works.

yeah, but the bar takes some time to extend out, so it will be flashing as it extends if that makes sense

11:31 PM

like here

11:31 PM

http://rootaccess.uk/snips/bar/

11:31 PM

it will do that every ten seconds

11:32 PM

which might look a bit weird

Ohhh, i see. So this way the bar won't fill up all the way, but only to the percentage of x/383?

11:33 PM

And stay that way for 10 minutes, unless I change 'x'? (edited)

unless I change

No, with the auto refresh it will update every ten minutes to show whatever it's set to regardless, so say if it starts of at 0.1 it will fill that much and refresh every ten minutes, if you have changed the value in that time, after ten minutes it will show the new value

11:36 PM

Maybe there is a way of removing the animation on the bar, so you could set the refresh to a lower time without it looking like it's rebuilding the bar all the time, would that suit how you want to use it more?

I don't know how to say it in technical terms unfortunately. What I want is for the bar to be filled up the percentage of x/383, and fill up more whenever I add x by 1. So say i have the number set to 190, it should be about 50%, then if I change x to 191 it should be larger and stay that way until I change.

11:40 PM

I don't mind the animation at all of it going up, I don't want it to fill up to 100% on its own but depend on the x/383 thing that I change manually.

ah, okay I think I know that you need, so right now bar.setText("100/386 obtained"); is just set that doesn't change, and the bar is set by bar.animate(0.2); where it's a number between 0.1 and 1 (1 being full), so if I make another bit where you just enter a number out of 383 and it will fill the ratio of the bar up by that %? (edited)

Exactly right! You don't have to unless you want to, you've been really helpful anyway. But it would be absolutely golden!

11:49 PM

Well, I think it's exactly right anyway haha

No that's fine, i wanted to learn how stream labs did it's widgets

So instead of saying bar.animate(0.2), would it be something like animate(x=y/383) or some stuff?

11:50 PM

Awesome!

I'll probably make it more straightforward where you just a number at the top and it calculates the rest of the values

Oh yeah haha, makes a lot of sense.

@Dastr95 okay try this

12:13 AM

bar.html

12:13 AM

12:13 AM

bar.js

12:13 AM

// [email protected] version is used // Docs: http://progressbarjs.readthedocs.org/en/1.0.0/ var obtained = 100; //set this var ratio = obtained / 383; var bar = new ProgressBar.Line('#container', { strokeWidth: 2, easing: 'linear', duration: 0, color: '#2af560', trailColor: '#eee', trailWidth: 2, svgStyle: {width: '100%', height: '100%'}, text: { style: { // Text color. // Default: same as stroke color (options.color) color: '#9999', position: 'absolute', right: '15px', top: '15px', padding: 0, margin: 0, transform: null }, autoStyleContainer: false }, from: {color: '#FFEA82'}, to: {color: '#2af560'}, step: (state, bar) => { bar.setText(obtained + "/383 obtained"); } }); bar.animate(ratio);

12:14 AM

it updates once every 30 seconds so it's not always building

12:14 AM

and you set the number in var obtained = 100; //set this to set the caught amount

This seems to work the way I want! It refreshes when I "refresh cache of current page". Is it possible to refresh it automatically? Just saving the file anew doesn't seem to be enough. When I do this, like before the bar refills every time I fix the number.

So it's not possible to refresh it when you change the number (it is, but not with something this small) but it should refresh every 30 seconds and get the newest number you put in

All right, great! Maybe it's enough to remove the animation. I should be able to just add a hashtag before that whole string and it should be inactivated, right?

12:23 AM

Just so I don't get rid of it.

a # to comment a line? Which one?

Yes, I was thinking possibly the last one that says bar.animate(ratio), but perhaps this needs to be active. Maybe // is the correct way to make it a comment instead.

If you comment that line it will just have an empty bar on the next refresh, I'll have a look to see if there is something that will hold the bar as is on each reload.

It seemed to be enough to change the duration from 0 to any number.

12:32 AM

I tried making it into a comment and it did indeed not work. I think I solved it by messing around wiht duration.

ah yeah great, I just tried setting it to 1 and that solved it, good work!

Yes, interesting how 0 makes it animate... Last question, I'm sorry for spamming the channel! I tried changing the style of the text by adding a size: '60px', thing in the text string, but this did not work... Is it possible to change size and perhaps even font some other way?

You can change the colour with something like color: '#ff3300', I'm not sure if normal css styling works with it for the font though, you might need to experiment with that a little

Will do. Thanks! I've managed to mess around with the look a little and will see what works best! Thanks again, you're the best!

No worries at all

Hey everyone. I'm having some mic issues and trying to fix them in OBS. I have a basic Neewer 700. I'm trying to adjust filters on OBS and can't add reaper add-ons because I have a mac. I made this video for a friend of mine to help but maybe someone on here has some feedback for me. Thanks!

11:26 AM

Andy can you help me?.mp4

Shared with Dropbox

Hey so I think until I get a new mic and camera, in gonna stream with my iPhone, but I wanna use my ps4 to game, is that possible?

Yes you can stream to twitch or YouTube off ps4

But can I have my iPhone as a facecam I mean

Maybe like this? https://obs.camera/docs/getting-started/ios-camera-plugin-usb/

iOS Camera Plugin for OBS Studio | Camera for OBS Studio

How to stream with the iOS Camera Plugin for OBS Studio

PS4 has a proprietary camera you have to use

Really? Could I not just use a capture card? I might order one

Yea if you use a capture card and go through your pc then yes. Sorry ps4 has native twitch as well and I thought you meant through that

Oh I see

10:40 PM

Sorry I’m new to all this haha

10:40 PM

Apparently I can do it through ps4 remote play, but that’s not connecting to the server rn so I’m stuck

What is the typical bottleneck for video delay between OBS and Facebook Live or YouTube? If I connect my camera right to those platforms there is no delay. If I use OBS there is a sizable delay. I've tried reducing bit rate and resolution and setting it to faster processor speed. Is this just a simple hardware/encoding wall I'm running up against?

Lol, I just signed up in here to ask basically the same question as Matte

7:48 AM

I have a Cam Link 4k hooked up to my macbook pro and I'm trying to stream my lectures to students via youtube using OBS studio but I found that the stream can be very stuttery, even though I have very good fiber connection.

If you are running it at 4K what is the bitrate you have it at?

9:51 AM

Honestly also with @Matte you probably have too low of a bitrate

9:51 AM

I run my streams at 6k bitrate so it comes out smooth and can be in HD

9:52 AM

@AJ♋ if you didn’t get it all figured out I can help in the morning. Short stream turned into two competed horror games and a seven hour stream xD

I'm only doing 1080p into the camlink and streaming to youtube at 720p

Perhaps a 2015 macbook pro is just too old and slow? I wondered if it's worth building a windows machine for streaming

@ローリー Laurie I'm in the -exact- same boat you are. I've had to transition to teaching class online and I'm looking to make my lectures better. The screenshare functionality in Zoom is "buggy" at best and I'd rather cue up slides and materials in something like OBS or another live broadcast software and cycle through them as opposed to sharing. (edited)

2:09 PM

I'm not running at 4k, my C100 is only 1080p and I have tried setting the output to that, 720p, and SD 480. I've tried this on my 2012 Macbook Pro, a Windows 10 laptop, and my PC with a Geeforce 670. I'll try turning the bit rate up, though, I had been making it smaller. (edited)

2:13 PM

Okay, more stuttery with the higher bit rate. Still sizable delay between my actions and what shows up in the window.

2:17 PM

It's almost as if whenever I start the stream in OBS and then start it in FB it doesn't begin with video at that moment, it wants to begin from the first frame of whenever I hit live in OBS no matter what

After a lot of fiddling I am 99% sure my problems were caused by my pc being a little on the slow side and not being able to move all the data around

2:21 PM

I put the bitrate at 2000 and it works well enough

2:23 PM

So I have a camera for me to talk into, a screnshare for slides and a camera pointed at my table for writing by hand, I can switch between them using hotkeys. There is about a 30 second delay but that is fine for my lectures

2:23 PM

I was planning on using zoom/discord for office hours, Q/A and more interactive stuff

Is your institution requiring synchronous class?

I'm at two different places. One is essentially saying "It's up to you" which I quite like. The other is trying to do some sort of asynchronous class thing it's a mess. They pushed out a 20 page document to try to explain to staff how things work and I still don't know what is going on.

Yeah that sounds like us. They told us we need to do everything synchronously but have given almost no support to do it

I'm not so much worried about the actual content of the courses, more just the general wellbeing of students. Especially first year students at the university. They're not going to have the same socialising opportunities as normal.

2:28 PM

Probably in 6 months time they still won't feel like they're started university

Absolutely.

2:28 PM

My last two weeks have been consumed with just managing my students anxieties and worry

2:29 PM

Someone told me that no one is going to remember how we taught this semester, but instead how we treated them

It is the start of the academic year here. The university was insisting students come on to campus to register for classes....

Oh wow

"There's just no way to do it without them being here in person"

2:30 PM

It's still a very analogue society here

2:30 PM

I'm actually quite positive. It's kicked me up the arse to prepare a bunch of video lectures that I had been meaning to do for ages

Right? Like I’m kind of glad for the change in some ways. I’ve been able to focus on things I never have time for

2:31 PM

But on the other hand I’m losing students left and right because they have to take jobs during class time cause they lost their regular one

2:32 PM

Most of my international students went home and so now I’m trying to manage time zone issues

The big question mark right now for me is assessment

My institution went satisfactory with credit, unsatisfactory with credit, and no credit.

2:35 PM

I teach a skills based class and now that they can’t produce anything I’ve basically got nothing to grade

3:12 PM

Can somebody help me fix this? I want it full screen but it does this

Okay so oddly, mine doesn't do that, is that fullscreen on the left clickable?

@Shanecus still not connected to the server! Guess it must just be my area right now

@Misio you pick what one u want before u hit stream both do the same thing

@Whiteic3 I can't reproduce that issue when I try it

4:49 PM

That being said, what resolution is your desktop at right now? Is it much lower that the stream resolution?

Might be my shotty old tv it cant even do 1080p gotta buy a monitor

check the stream resolution in the scene here

4:51 PM

if it's much bigger than the desktop resolution, that might be why it's so tiny

4:51 PM

under the scene editor tab

4:52 PM

you could try and match the stream res to your screen, which might sort it out

Hello I have a potentially complicated question. Is anyone a wizard that can help me?

Careful he may be a wizard police... “No sir none of us are wizards here”

1:57 AM

Lol what’s up?

Okay maybe a wizard is not required, just someone smarter than I.

1:57 AM

Here is the situation

1:59 AM

I am stuck at college, and we have an esports computer lab, really nice setups. I want to play switch games on stream, but alas, I am poor, and I think I have an idea for a way to avoid buying a capture card. If I hook my switch up to another monitor, can I view that screen from my desktop and stream that?

Any ideas lol

I asked a few friends and I don’t have any good answers. It seems like in concept it should just work, but no one could figure it out leading to some hilarious discord chats xD @Spooompl the short of it is a capture card works best and was made to do just that. There may be a good way too do it but the only one who got it to work even a little got bad stuttering and the video wouldn’t get rid of the outside box that said sharing screen

Thanks for the help!

5:15 AM

Even if it didn't work!

If I hear back from others I will let you know.

Hello everyone. Just curious. I have a masters m3u8 file from a streaming site. I open it in vlc and convert to MP4. Here is the issue, the first part comes in perfect, bht the rest there is no audio. Can you please give me some advice. Thanks

Do you mean a movie streaming site?

Well a TV site

Sorry, this isn't really the place for that, this is more live streaming

Gotcha

I mean if you have obs open and the file type set to mp4 and then screen cap what you want to record that should work @randymc1908

5:08 PM

Like when you wanted to record a tv show onto VHS back in the day :p

Thanks. Will give that a try instead of direct from stream.

Yea that’s my guess lol

So bit of a weird question but what are the chances someone can actually get your IP address? Someone joked about it today in my chat but seeing videos of people getting swatted really freaks me out

The odds are small, you can have protections and firewalls up, but at least on twitch most the people there are there to support and be friendly. Malicious people on the internet totally exist and that's hard to combat. Just have protections for you pc in place and don't go surfing the dark web all the time looking for creepypastas

Like VPN’s and such? I’m looking into them now. I don’t know much about them apart from they can help protect you

I am looking for a free video automation playout software that can stream to Twitch anybody know of anything. I not looking for OBS or SLOBS

@Shanecus I kind of love how "surfing the dark web all the time looking for creepypastas" is your example of dangerous activity

Lol do it and find out xD

I used to love creepypastas a loooong time ago

I need some help with my green screen if anyone is available to help me out

@Misio oddly enough I’ve had ten people in my chat now ask me to record creepy pasta readings xD

7:15 AM

@Thomas what time zone are you in? I can help tomorrow time depending. Just finished 13 hours of streaming after an early access event and trying to catch up on all the discord stuff xD

Central standard time, I’m available after 2:30 cause I stream 11:30 - 2:30

Hello guys, I have a question as someone who was using SnagIt for 15+ years I want to find a program for Windows that would be able to capture video.. The only caveat is I am interested in an app that lets you choose a codec. I would prefer editing codec vs the regular h264. The ability to choose the FPS would be a welcomed addition, but not really a must.

Hi! I'm having difficulties to set up my gear to record/stream properly with OBS. I have a gaming computer I bought from someone I can no longer find on my facebook (it was a friend of an ex) and I'm just getting frustrated trying to solve the problems on my own using any tutorials or youtube videos. If someone could try to help me, that'd be wonderful!

Looking for a streaming app like OBS that can apply video and audio effects, but pass it back through to any web-cam enabled app e.g. Zoom

4:28 PM

basically enable effects for web conferencing

4:28 PM

similar to OBS for gaming/streaming

There is a windows plugin to go from OBS to Zoom

5:45 PM

That I couldn't get working on my windows laptop, unfortunately. You may have better luck

What kind of spec PC do I need to stream in 4k (not games)? I have the 4k camera and a decent internet connect.

anyone here use Davinci Resolve for 4k editing?

When streaming with Hauppauge and webcam, I'm pretty sure the delay of the Hauppauge makes game and webcam not sync correctly. I looked up filters and there's some kind of async delay thing on Streamlabs. Can I use this? When I set that number really high I don't personally notice a change. Has anyone else had this problem before and fixed it?

can someone please help me out

7:31 PM

im hearing double and echo music after each follower and its driving me fucking insane

7:31 PM

using the normal obs

@Aleyazor there is a table here you can use to look up data usage on twitch

7:58 AM

https://streamfar.com/2018/11/22/how-much-internet-data-does-streaming-on-twitch-use-not-a-lot/

user

How much internet data does streaming on twitch use - not a lot - S...

With new data caps in the United States, it’s important to know how much data you’re using while streaming. Below is a handy chart that can help you see how much internet data is used to stream on Twitch. It shows how much internet data you use in 1 hours of twitch streaming. ...

7:59 AM

I'd also say, that if you try to use a mobile data connection to stream from, your provider is likely going to notice and throttle you, especially if you try to tether from a PC

7:59 AM

it will very much depend on the quality of your plan and the hidden limits they impose

i don't think they impose any limit

8:00 AM

i've tried streaming from ADSL and the upload speed is like 0.8mb/s

8:00 AM

lol

8:00 AM

it's very very very bad

Okay so for example, in the UK on my mobile plan if I tether to my PC my speed is throttled right back after 30 minutes or so of usage. That isn't advertised, but it is what happens. On mobile plans they vary so much it's difficult to know what will happen, it depends on the company and where you are in the world

8:02 AM

My guess is you will hit limits if you try to stream 1080p video from a 4g connection, but the only way to see is to test I guess.

the thing is i couldn't get the stream to work on 1080p

8:05 AM

i entered the right coordinates in obs and it only shows 720p resolution when going live

8:05 AM

in twitch.com

maybe take a look at @Shanecus tutorial on setting up your stream bitrate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NeIJsUSk38

Shanecus

Understand Bit rate & Audience as a New Streamer

thanks!

9:10 AM

i read something about twitch partners and affiliates and stuff so i guess that's why i can't stream in 1080p?

9:10 AM

i need to achieve partner or affiliate?

So tonight was my first stream, I had an audio issue with my Elgato HD60 Pro on PS4 where game audio wasn't coming through. So to fix it I set the Elgato's audio to come through my PC using Output Desktop Audio (DirectSound) in the Elgato's settings but this ended up causing lag in the rest of my stream. If it matters I was streaming 720p60 at 4k bitrate, connection is 100/10 and before I switched the audio to come through my PC from Elgato it was perfectly smooth. (edited)

4:14 AM

I saw a video that said another way to do this was to click the Gear next to the Elgato's audio bar in OBS and turn on Audio Monitoring for the Elgato so maybe that would work better.

I've been looking at a lot of stuff, noticed Elgato's website says it recommends using OBS Audio Monitoring so definitely going to try that tonight instead of the Output Desktop Audio, I think that's definitely the problem. Watching back the stream the lag spikes start at the exact point where I turn that on. (edited)

hey guys where to find non copyrighted music for streaming?

11:27 AM

I stream both on twitch and fb

11:27 AM

twitch no problem but fb my stream are muted

@misterpogeinspace have you tried searching for 'royalty free music' or 'public domain music'?

I did in youtube sorry

11:51 AM

search for "non copyrighted music "

11:52 AM

My goal is to just play a playlist either in my local pc, youtube, etc and be blocked by Facebook and not get sued when the author hear on twitch

Did you not find any when you searched on Google? I found quite a few sites within the first few results

@misterpogeinspace if you have Spotify you can search stream beats and use all that music

hello guys i have a dual pc audio problem, im wondering if anyone could help

Sorry just wanted to post a quick tech support question, ive got an elgato game capture hd and i want to connect a camcorder to it to use for my face cam, I can find plenty online listing panasonic ones as good, but they mostly say the 770, which I 1: cant find and 2: cant afford, in my budget and in good nick is a Panasonic HDC-SD700, would this be suitable for my use ?

1:56 AM

ive been googling for an hour now and so far have only found one obscure streaming site listing it as compatible (some business site)

hey everyone does anyone know how to get twitch chat overlay on my streamlabs obs stream? So I can see the chat over my own game? (it already goes over the stream but i cant see on my game)

Hello guys, I am really struggling with my twitch alerts on Streamlabs OBS. I have some great alerts which are 10 seconds long. These are custom animated alerts. The alerts no matter what i try will only stay on my stream for 5 seconds and not their 10 second duration. (duration slider does not work). I have to use custom fields etc. Is there a line or something i need to add / edit in the HTML or CSS to enable the alert to stay for the full 10 second duration? This is very frustrating and would appreciate any help

Since I can't use OBS mic filters to chat in games, does anyone know of mic filters that can be used for chatting with randoms and teammates in game?

Hey guys, I've just started streaming lately, would like some advice on some concerns that I have. CPU: 3700x GPU: 1080ti Ram: 32GB Internet: down= 43.31 Mbps; up= 14.79 Mbps I'm trying to stream 60fps on either 720p or 1080p, but I'm not too sure what the settings should be on the encoder and bitrate, could someone help me with this?

@Sim go to #tutorials and look for the understanding bitrate video from shanecus

Anyone here familiar with using EOS Camera Movie Record or SparkoCam?

I wish I could help but I honestly have never worked with those programs

No worries

Can some one help me? I was excited because I got the Elgato HD60 S in the mail and I plugged it into my laptop which is a Surface Pro 4. However, the software kept telling me that I need to plug it into a USB 3.0 port. Surface Pro 4 and all other models have the standard 3.0 port so I’m kind of confused as to why it’s not working.

Do you have multiple ports on the surface? Does it run a USB 2 and a USB 3? (edited)

hello

9:18 AM

i'm trying to stream VALORANT,

9:19 AM

but whenever i enter the lock screen to lock agents, the game capture becomes black

9:19 AM

the background of the app, except the overlays of the game

9:20 AM

What OS and capture software are you using?

windows 10 and streamlabs obs

Can you try running OBS as administrator? right click, run as administrator

i did

9:24 AM

it's always run as admin actually

do you have any other overlays you can disable, AMD, Steam Xbox?

no i don't, the other games work fine for me

9:26 AM

this happens only on game capture

9:27 AM

display capture seems to show the background picture

9:33 AM

setting the game to windowed mode solved the issue

9:35 AM

or not, this is weird lol

maybe have a read through here https://www.reddit.com/r/obs/comments/fwq703/cant_stream_valorant_in_fullscreen/

i figured the issue, it was in game capture propertie

9:53 AM

however i have one more question about uploading past broadcasts to twitch

9:54 AM

does it use more internet data to upload past broadcasts or it's automatically stored as the live goes by

9:54 AM

i'm getting lags while streaming so i think i'm gonna turn that off if it uses data to store past br

L@Misio my laptop has one USB port and it’s a 3.0 I was thinking of getting an extension though

@Laddddie this is a total guess, but it might be worth looking at, does the surface USB port have enough power to power the device? If not a powered USB3 hub could help, it might be worth researching if that is an issue with the elgato

Hi Guys, Can we add an mp4 video on the scene features of streamlabs? Cant seem to find any tutorial in youtube I wanted to show a slideshow/loop of my products when my stream is starting and when I am on break to my viewers. Thanks!

I have an MP4 looping as a media source for my brb screen, it should just be possible through those means

1

8:40 AM

set it to loop and you're good

How to I add the mp4 on streamlabs?

9:03 AM

As a source on my live panel?

You add source and you add a media source

9:06 AM

the mp4 can then be set to loop

9:06 AM

sorry for late reply am streaming

So I will just it the mp4 on the sources panel and not use anymore the scene panel?

So what you want to do is create an entire scene dedicated to that source you can switch to when you're on break

9:10 AM

Create scene > put source on that scene > sit back and relax

Got it

9:12 AM

Can you point me to the right direction how to create my own scenes?

yeah so in the scenes box, there should be a + icon

9:14 AM

click that and name the scene

hiya frens, am i able to get some advice if anyones got the time? RE: pixilation during stream, i have looked at SO many guides and nothings working for me..

its only really HORRIBLE when things are moving fast but thats all of OW lol

What's your bitrate you stream at and what cpu preset do you use?

is something over 6200 good enough?

For bitrate?

2500, i tried 2600 and 3k and was met with hella lag... :/

You shouldn't need a bitrate of over 6200, but it depends on your resolution you are trying to stream at

9:38 AM

@clawdeeyar What cpu preset?

i feel like its bad i dont know what that is so MAYBE we're onto something!

The artifacting isn't so bad compared to other streams, but it could be changed based on the cpu usage preset

9:40 AM

Sometimes if your cpu can't handle it, it will make your stream suffer

do you mean % of cpu being used?

Are you using OBS or streamlabs OBS?

streamlabs obs

In the output settings, you can choose advanced and it allows you to select the cpu usage preset

ah yep! its on very fast

and what is profile setup to?

none

You can change it to a higher setting to allow for a higher priority for your cpu's decoding

so thats probably been my issue all this time?

because yeah it was on none..

It's not necessarily the issue, but it could help in making things look a little better

9:44 AM

artifacting usually occurs during high speed in games or in very dark images, it's just a matter of slight tweaking to make things look better for your stream

9:45 AM

@misterpogeinspace Everything end up working with that Media Source?

9:48 AM

@clawdeeyar I am done streaming now, so if you need a little more assistance with troubleshooting feel free to ask

alright ill give that a go

ill try just yeah mess with some levels a bit more ontop of that to find the sweet spot. from my pc specs though, do you reckon my pc should be able to produce a decent stream? its about mid range id say

thank you SO much for your help!

Your pc can definitely stream what you are shooting for, it's just minor tweaks and adjustments that are needed is all

9:50 AM

And no problem, happy to help

9:52 AM

hopefully you wont hear from me again, but i will keep you in mind if i need any more help

9:52 AM

honestely dude ty for the time really appreciate it

Of course, we'll be here to help

9:53 AM

No prob, like I said, I finished streaming, I've got the time lol

Hey! So I am trying to stream FFXIV, and have had some problems before with PC games that I've always seemed to be able to fix. But I can't at all make FFXIV appear correctly in Streamlabs. What settings do you use? I've tried full screen game capture, borderless windowed game capture, windowed game capture, windowed window capture, borderless windowed window capture. I've tried literally everything yet it doesn't show up correctly. It just looks like this. Any tips?

I'll look into it in a second

5:07 PM

@g0ld_dustx happy to hear! Hopefully other issues don't persist

Much appreciated!

I will try to get this knocked out for you, just keep in mind I have to update ffxiv to test it as I haven't played it in a while

Very kind of you to take your time to do this! I'm going to try some stuff meanwhile.

Sounds good, best of luck

5:25 PM

So when you set up the game capture, did you have it set to auto-detect or did you specify which window to capture?

I've tried both. Just now I had it on auto first, and then tried specific window. Neither worked.

Have you also tried running streamlabs in Administrator Mode?

5:26 PM

(Run as admin)

Yes! I just tried that now.

alright

Whenever I try window mode it doesn't capture the game's window, but like a frame of whatever was behind it almost.

Got it, I'll see if I can find anything out

It's pretty random though. Often just black. Thanks

What's your OS and version of streamlabs?

Windows. Streamlabs 0.21.2

Windows 10?

Yes

alright cool ty

I was going to give up and use display capture, but that doesn't even work now. I think everything else works fine, but not capturing FFXIV or the display...

I've got it up right now and am capturing without issue, so I will try to break it

Awesome! Thank you.

So what are your settings currently? Also have you tried monitor capture?

6:53 PM

Nevermind, monitor has fps issue with it it seems

Final Fantasy XIV is in borderless window mode. I'm using window capture on Streamlabs with multi-adapter compatibility on and am capturing the window [unknown]: FINAL FANTAXY XIV.

6:54 PM

I tried display capture which didn't work at all, I assume that is the same as monitor capture

It is

6:54 PM

So far I am having no issues with the capture

6:55 PM

Can you screencap your graphic and display settings so that I can copy yours?

In FFXIV, I assume? Or Streamlabs?

ffxiv please

There you go!

6:57 PM

for the display settings can you scroll down and send the rest please

Are you doing all of this on one monitor?

Yes, and on a laptop.

Alright delete your capture sources, close streamlabs and reopen in admin mode and readd resources

7:10 PM

Let's just start it from scratch because i can't replicate your issue with these tweaks

Done, but have not added capture sources yet. Which do you recommend for this test?

Game capture or window capture, if you are in borderless windowed either will work

Looking for a game to capture and black screen on window capture! (edited)
