what it do
Avatar
my shit just done fucked it today
10:48 PM
switched from terraria about an hour into my 1 viewer stream to valorant and my bitrate was switching from 6k~ to 100
10:48 PM
not only was my bitrate fucked but my game was just constantly stuttering
10:48 PM
even though yesterday my stream and game was perfectly fine for the 3 hours i played besides some minor hiccups
10:49 PM
explain to me o great one what went wrong 😦
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:49 PM
Stupid question but have you had any internet issues/restarted your modem and router?
10:49 PM
And in what way was your game stuttering?
Avatar
not had any internet issues at all
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:50 PM
lagging? high cpu or ram use?
Avatar
and my game would freeze for a few seconds at a time
10:50 PM
i thought at first it was my server selection cus earlier in the day my game wasnt affected
10:50 PM
but after i jumped into a comp game everything went wrong
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:51 PM
was your ping spiking or was it fine?
Avatar
my gpu and cpu frame times have gone up drastically since yesterday
10:51 PM
my ping was constant so nothing on that end
10:51 PM
i have an ethernet connection so i didnt expect that to be the problem
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:51 PM
Well if your internet is crapping the bed, the connection won't change that
10:51 PM
Ya know?
10:52 PM
As for your game was your cpu throttling?
10:52 PM
Have you checked task manager to see if there was any spikes in that?
Avatar
i checked and was staying around 80-85%
10:52 PM
i have an i5-7500 and a gtx 1050ti
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:52 PM
Is that normal for you?
Avatar
yeah 80 to 100 is normal in most recent games
10:53 PM
so cod or valorant seem to do that to my setup
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:53 PM
huh alright
10:54 PM
Drivers and updates all good and recent?
Avatar
yeah checked drivers after game and they were up to date
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:54 PM
When was the last time you updated drivers?
Avatar
my last update would of been when the recent geforce drivers came out
10:55 PM
so 4/15/2020
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:55 PM
alright just making sure that isn't a cause
10:56 PM
was your RAM being maxed out while streaming and playing?
Avatar
i have 16gb at i think 3200 so with valorant theres no way it would use that much
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:57 PM
what are you stream settings at out of curiosity

that might be where the problem is tbh
10:57 PM
lemme get em up
10:58 PM
what do you need to know specificaly

GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 10:58 PM
It may assist with a lot of offloading stress on your pc
10:58 PM
do you do streamlabs or normal obs?

output and video settings
10:59 PM
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 11:00 PM
just set your output to 720p just to have an easier to scale output and your bitrate doesn't need to be that high
11:00 PM
you can change it to 4500 at most
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 11:01 PM
Up until recently it looks like you were streaming at 1080p but you don't need it that high at all
11:01 PM
hopefully the encoding will take some stress off of the cpu
Avatar
yeah yesterday 1080p worked fine all stream so i was confused when it just shit the bed today
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 11:02 PM
That also may be in part to internet, as far as the streaming aspect of it goes, if you were having internet issues and the stuttering was only seen on stream, that means you would be losing frames
11:02 PM
I am not seeing much frame loss in your vods though so that isn't likely for Valorant
Avatar
i did stream pretty late last night
11:03 PM
around until 2:30 am so wasnt much in the way of stress on internet
11:03 PM
but theres only really one other person who uses the internet at my house
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 11:04 PM
yeah but dependent on isp they can throttle speeds whenever, but doesn't seem the case here
11:04 PM
Have you messed around with the video settings for valorant?
Avatar
so the issue seems to have been hardware wise yes?
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 11:04 PM
By all means your computer should be able to play it, but stuttering on your side would be indicative of hardware
Avatar
the stuttering only occured when i was streaming and in game
11:05 PM
so idrk
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 11:05 PM
So normally the game is perfect?
Avatar
game played a solid 144fps when stream was turned off
11:05 PM
yeah
11:05 PM
in menu average 600fps
11:05 PM
in game upwards of 150
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 11:06 PM
there could be a link between game capture conflicting with the game software, but i don't see how it would isolate your pc from how other streamers have it set up
Avatar
its really weird cus game capture worked fine with other games
11:07 PM
could be vanguard thats causing issues idk
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/17/2020 11:07 PM
Could be
11:08 PM
If the small changes that we did don't affect it, I would restart your computer and try again. Worst case scenario, I would try normal OBS. A reddit thread said that SLOBS didn't perform as well with the game as OBS did
11:08 PM
Food for thought (edited)
Avatar
ok will do
11:08 PM
ill see how it goes next stream and if the same happens again after trying normal obs ill come back

Legit can just rock a blue yeti, it's good quality but I recommend getting a mic stand with a shock mount as well

i think they sell bundles
6:08 AM
but if you don't have a shockmount you might hear the vibrations if you have it on your desk

Okay I need some help. I have a rebel t6 and am using it as a webcam and today was my first stream and the battery on the camera only lasted two fucking hours. How could I get longer battery life.

Hi guys, i'm looking for your expert insight. I am running Streamlabs OBS and want to be able to stop/play an audio clip by pressing a key on my keyboard. Any ideas on how to do this? I've tried hotkeys but don't see the option to run or play media when I add the audio media file. Thanks for your assist!

Hey everyone! If I were to post my specs, could someone recommend the best OBS settings to reduce pixelated streams? I have tried so many different settings, but can't seem to find the one to have a decent stream output
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/21/2020 3:49 AM
@Migz one of your best bets is a programmable soundboard for that kind of thing, I'm sure there are tons of affordable options
3:50 AM
@winstoniantv what kind of commands?
3:50 AM
@Gin what's your system specs looking like?

Avatar
@GrimmmReapa Thank you. I was hoping there was functionality within Streamlabs obs to do this because I have their app so I can use my iPad as a remote or deck. Do you recommend any broadcast software besides obs or Streamlabs obs that has this functionality and may be better?
Avatar
@GrimmmReapa Also, I have an Xbox one I can use to stream to save CPU for obs, but only 1 ethernet option so not sure if i should ethernet xbox or pc to maximize stream quality
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/21/2020 5:55 PM
@Migz honestly in terms of ease of use and compatibility, OBS is gonna be the best. Whether it's streamlabs or regular
5:57 PM
@Gin Ethernet to PC. But as far as the pixelization, it's called artifacting. The only downside is, despite what your computer is capable of it can also be affected by what is happening in the game too. Even a really good streaming set up and good settings can still have it happen
5:57 PM
But you can minimize it by tweaking your obs settings

How are my specs for streaming? Can I get a decent stream output?

Don't need to like her, it's all good. You just crop the image and enlarge it
5:27 AM
@Gin sorry man, works been rough this week. Just got off. You can get decent streaming output it just needs to be within the realm of reason for your specs and your internet. It seems very viable, but you just gotta tweak the settings to get it right
5:28 AM
But like I said, a lot of streams experience artifacting, especially if you're not a partner. Quality issues are always going to be around, just gotta get something that works fine with fast motion

Hey guys, what are my options for streaming My main PC is i7 8700k, 16gb RAM, RTX 2080 Super, 2x 1tb SSDs I have a laptop, Dell G3, i7 processor, 16gb RAM, cant remember the GPU but its half decent Then I also have some old components laying around (i7 4770, 8gb RAM, SSD) and an Egato HD60 Pro Can I get a good thing going with my main PC and laptop? Would it be worth building the pc from spares to use the Elgato in it? Any advice much appreciated, thanks
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/22/2020 7:36 AM
you could stream totally fine on your main PC
7:36 AM
you can just stick that elgato in and start rocking
Avatar
Lord ICONOCLAST 5/22/2020 7:39 AM
Oh, well thats good to know then haha. How would I do that (in the hardware sense), so ill put the elgato into the pci slot, then put hdmi out from my gpu, into the elgato, then a hdmi out of my elgato into my monitor?
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/22/2020 7:40 AM
You wouldn't need to do that if you are gaming and streaming on your main pc
7:40 AM
just game capture or display capture
Avatar
Lord ICONOCLAST 5/22/2020 7:41 AM
Ah, so it would be going through the Elgato but like internally?
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/22/2020 7:42 AM
It wouldn't even need to go through the elgato
7:42 AM
it can all be done on obs
7:42 AM
the elgato in this case isn't necessary unless you had another desktop to stream from
7:42 AM
or you can use it for console gaming

Lord ICONOCLAST 5/22/2020 7:44 AM
Oh I get ya haha, thanks. And is obs the best software for streaming then?

GrimmmReapa 5/24/2020 3:20 AM
Is there an issue with game slow down or losing frames?
Avatar
nicoleauditore 5/24/2020 3:26 AM
i mean sims 4 is slow AF alone so I kinda have to close all other stuff on my computer. having OBS and a google chrome tab with twitch so i can manage my stream makes my computer sound the same way as when i play sims 4. so i think trying both would just be like asking my computer to spontaneously combust

It's possible that it could just be the graphical settings are making it work extra hard. basic intel graphics from the processor can't handle games very well at all

hiya, im new to streaming and i got a couple questions is thats okay? i dont really have a good set up for streaming so ive been doing it off my xbox and will be doing off my laptop but my main will be the xbox. when using twitch through xbox to stream is it possible to have it look like it does for when someone uses it from pc, by this i mean the visuals so if i gain a follower i notice it doesnt come up and alert like it would on other streams i watch and like the additional visuals that are on there?

Not sure man, that seems pretty high. My only guess could be interference from nearby electronics or some issue with your mic or pc

@Baked hey my dude, as far as visuals go, unfortunately consoles don't rock a feature like that. Most people achieve that through the use of OBS with plug ins
6:54 PM
And @Deleted User are you using a Logitech headset mic?

That shouldn't have anything to do with it. However if your audio is peaking, like if you're yelling or getting loud, it might cut out
7:02 PM
Otherwise static could indicate a bit of a shoddy wireless connection like if it's being blocked
7:03 PM
I'll try to find some other possible solution just gonna shower rq
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 5/30/2020 7:34 PM
Looked into your headset and found out it was a wired one. A lot of people report on the jacks that plug in being a possible cause if the ports are dirty and all. Some recommend getting a usb sound card to act as a buffy

What if, so you know on laptops you can get the xbox companion app which allows you to stream your xbox onto your laptop. What if i stream my xbox onto my laptop and then streamed the stream if that makes sense?

got some request, new to streaming, just trying to figure out what direction I should look into / google, to setup my stream properly. what I would like to do is to stream via my Xiaomi Yi 4K action cam, but that one doesn't have audio input, and good audio is essential. I have a Zoom H1 and H4. How would I stream the footage from my action cam and audio from Zoom while out in the field, via 4G?

@PixlPvnk Not familiar with that, but I googled this and found a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZawZic65ggk
9:41 PM
@Tomei Your set up is kind of difficult, because action cameras would either have a streaming option or not. Plus since you have a zoom h4 it can plug into a dslr for sure, but to set it up with all the equipment you have would be either a really elaborate set up or not be very compatible. I'll look a little more

Hey guys, new streamer here. I have pretty crappy wifi but I'm still usually able to stream at 720p 30fps. However, sometimes my bitrate will drop down from a steady 2500 to fluxuating from 0-1000. When that happens, it stays that way the rest of the night, and I can't stream. It's awful. I know that if I buy an ethernet cable, my internet speeds will be WAY faster, but in my situation, would an ethernet cable help if its the internet itself that drops out? Any help would be much appreciated (edited)
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 6/2/2020 10:30 AM
It is dependent if it is your ISP throttling or losing speed at a certain time of day or if you have other people using the internet more at the same time in your house
10:30 AM
Aside from that, ethernet will be better normally

2:14 AM
i know this is google-able but all i can find is like copyright-safe music apps which is fine, but like, i need to know how to connect the music player to twitch through OBS if that makes sense

If your desktop is playing the sound it should be going through automatically
2:38 AM
Unless you want it to only go through the stream and not your desktop audio
Avatar
nicoleauditore 6/7/2020 2:41 AM
but like usually i'll have my headphones in cause i use those as my mic
2:41 AM
so then any sound coming through my laptop would be coming through my headphones
2:42 AM
so would i need to have like a separate mic/headphone setup in order to do that?
2:46 AM
oooh wait i could play my music on an external bluetooth speaker

So I’m have cpu issues while trying to use ableton (music making software) and running OBS at the same time on my MacBook Pro. Does anyone have any experience with running a couture card from one Mac to another? Seeing a lot of forums about console to Mac etc but nothing really about Mac 2 Mac streaming
3:14 AM
Capture card*
3:15 AM
Figured I could have my production laptop just handling ableton and all the cpu intensive work on that end. And then use another MacBook for streaming

As long as the other mac is capable of using the capture card you have, there are no problem with that

blur or pixelation when streaming is pretty common

ah, even though that's from local recording? is it just a product of the bitrate?
4:33 AM
and is there any other settings that might reduce it?

GrimmmReapa 6/17/2020 4:34 AM
WIth recording it will be affected by the bitrate a lot more, mostly because you can do much higher bitrates

You can adjust some settings, but it won't make it look exactly crystal clear like a lot of us hope

The reason I ask is since you are running Nvenc instead of h.264, but with your gpu it shouldn't effect it too much
1:45 AM
Does obs say you are losing frames or cpu is spiking?

yes
1:45 AM

should I change to software x264?
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 6/21/2020 1:46 AM
You gpu is more powerful than mine and I can rock wz with nvenc as well so I doubt that's it. Generally a loss of frames can be the encoding device or internet issues

but im recording
1:47 AM
not streaming
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 6/21/2020 1:47 AM
So for recording it might be a little more strenuous, I would try going to h.264 at high bitrate to see if the issue persists
1:48 AM
Because the setting for high quality medium file size is your gpu actively recording and compressing while you are playing a game
Avatar
so what would you recomend?
Avatar
GrimmmReapa 6/21/2020 1:49 AM
Switch the encoder, raise the bitrate up quite a bit and do some recording tests
1:49 AM
make sure you adjust the bitrate in the recording section, you might need to switch settings from simple to advanced

Honestly, if you have the option to do verizon's gigabit, I would just go for that over all. However, different ISP's have things different in their marketing, so it would depend on what the plan upgrade says that will change your download and upload speed

@Sumaru Honestly as long as you have a broadcasting software. Like OBS or SLOBS and some energy you can make anything work. I have friends who hit affiliate on the PS4 stream platform as well. They beat essential to stream is just saying you want too. The little details fall away as you get into a grove

Ah, so what are you struggling with then when you asked for essentials?

Anything that I might need to garner more people. Look a bit better. And show my personality more

Well using every avenue you can helps. Like when I go live I get about four to five people just from my Facebook post. One or two from twitter and more for all over. But just saying “I’m going live” on twitter and everywhere doesn’t help either. So show the people that you have fresh content I’m each direction. I use a new meme I make on Facebook for when going live since memes trend well on Facebook. I link a video with my Twitter and so forth.

Hey guys, new here but I have a quick question. Is it possible for me to record on streamlabs at 1080p while simultaneously streaming 720p?

Want to make sure it's easy for my friends to keep me tabbed but keep the best recording quality for youtube videos later.

Anyone know their way around an ATEM mini pretty well? Just got mine and am having trouble going from my audio mixer into the mic in. Im using a dual-xlr>3.5mm cable and am getting a bunch of distorted noise. Manual isnt giving much info on how the mic input is configured

not quite technical support but am I allowed to drink on stream if I'm underage?

The answer to that is categorially no, you are not allowed, due to being underage. But the real question is "Will anything bad happen to me if I drink on stream underage?"
