nope

Ethernet, or WiFi?

Ethernet

Also, @LucaLynxDrive mentioned checking the Bind to IP setting. What does that show in SLOBS for you?

ive tried each setting, Im currently set to default

Here's where my head's at: You cannot connect to Twitch servers, evidence is connection error from SLOBS, validated by TwitchTest.

7:43 PM

It could be permissions (Run as Administrator for both SLOBS and TwitchTest)

I always run them as admin

It could be that your network is set up as Public and the Windows Defender firewall settings are being applied instead of Private settings

My brother(who refused to help me, is a Computer Sci major and said I might need to open the port 1935 for twitch on the network)

It could be a ports issue ^^^^^

okay, so i need to figure out how to open the port

It could be a policy issue on the router

okay, time to call frontier

I wouldn't, they're worthless

they're my provider

7:45 PM

I know they are

If they see green lights in their app, they can't help you with device issues like that

rip okay, Ill go take my brothers powerstrip till he helps me

LOL

7:46 PM

forced collaboration

thank you for the help though! most help ive gotten

No worries, happy to help

@TenderSausage would you have any idea why it wouldve stopped working? Because I was able to stream for a month, then in changed. Any Idea why it would suddenly change?

TotallyVintage

@TenderSausage would you have any idea why it wouldve stopped working? Because I was able to stream for a month, then in changed. Any Idea why it would suddenly change?

when it happened to me it was because i switched from wireless to Ethernet, and since obs was trying to connect through specific means it didn't work.

@TotallyVintage So, like what @LucaLynxDrive mentioned, sometimes if your local IP address is assigned to specific binds you may lose connectivity when it changes. (edited)

I never changed it

9:26 PM

Ive always been Ethernet

Right, but has your IP changed?

Shouldnt have

Your router likely assigns them dynamically (edited)

^

Here's an example

so my router automatically changed it

Possibly

9:27 PM

Check this out

9:28 PM

Let's say you set up a port forward while your IP address was 192.168.1.100

9:28 PM

Over time, you buy a smart tv, thermostat, lights...

9:28 PM

all have a unique IP

9:28 PM

One day, the power goes out

9:28 PM

When your router comes back online, which device gets 192.168.1.100 this time?

ohhh

Ideally, your PC

9:29 PM

but in a dynamic environment, it could be any one of those devices.

wouldnt If my streamlabs IP in settings matches my IP in command prompt it work though?

Not necessarily

oof

In the case I mentioned above, the router is the culprit because you don't have the right IP according to the routers port forwarding rules. (edited)

okay, cause config says my IPv4 is the same as in Stremalabs. How would I fix this?

9:30 PM

Do I have to go into the router and re port forward>

9:30 PM

cause I did that earlier

You'd want to verify that everything is still accurate

okay

9:33 PM

alright so let me lay this out for you. Our internet comes in through our Frontier modem. It hooks to my brothers and dads PC, but for some reason doesn't do Wireless. We have an ethernet connecting a NetGear r6080 router to it. I ethernet to the router because I am too far from the Modem. This router runs all the wireless for phones and TV and such.

9:33 PM

thats my situation

9:33 PM

it wasnt a problem until wednesday this week

A tiered network (edited)

9:33 PM

nice

Ive encountered 3 other people that had their streams stop due to not connecting to the streaming servers also on wednesday

9:34 PM

so I would theorize this is on twitches end?

9:34 PM

but I cant confirm that

9:34 PM

and obviously other people are still streaming cause twitch isnt down

Knowing what I know now, there is one thing you can do very quickly

9:35 PM

figure out how to plug into the Frontier box and see if you can get a connection with Twitch servers.

9:35 PM

Your network configuration has a network within a network

9:36 PM

it doesn't affect things functionally, meaning all of the devices are all connected to the internet, but the wireless network exists within a wired LAN in your case, instead of them existing together.

okay, and if it still works than its a router problem>

Yes, a network configuration problem specifically

9:37 PM

it can be corrected

alright,

TenderSausage

@vovuey I'll watch the video now and see what I can pick apart. I stopped using StreamElements in 2018, so I need to get reacquainted

That's the weird thing, it doesn't show up in engagements (edited)

@vovuey Well that's certainly interesting...

TenderSausage

@vovuey Well that's certainly interesting...

I probably should have mentioned the video was 3 years old

@vovuey I'm saying that's interesting because my screenshot was taken from inside my account (edited)

11:15 PM

meaning I have that option and you don't for some reason

TenderSausage

meaning I have that option and you don't for some reason

It could be because I used the overlay editor on a pre-made overlay, instead of from scratch

vovuey

It could be because I used the overlay editor on a pre-made overlay, instead of from scratch

Nope I created a custom overlay and it still doesn't show up

TenderSausage

@vovuey I'm saying that's interesting because my screenshot was taken from inside my account (edited)

Guess I won't be using media request, because I left twitch. https://www.tomshardware.com/features/best-streaming-platforms twitch ain't worth it (edited)

TenderSausage

I suppose that explains it

Yes, but I'm still upset, now I gotta figure out another way to display music

Hey guys, new here and was wondering if someone could help me, looking for a 2nd pc rig just for the streaming part of stream labs or obs as well as running the mic and webcam. Already have a gaming pc but looking to destress my main rig, what would you guys recommend in the smaller budget side (around 300-400) for a computer to just run the streaming aspect

@SnickerxDoodle You could try using an Intel NUC, some of the 6th Gen versions are right around that price range with an i5 2.9GHz 4-Core and 8GB DDR4.

5:57 PM

Other options include a custom build with slightly dated parts you can get on sale

am i allowed to post twitch links and yt links????

Hello! I’m looking for info about mics and headsets. I’ve got my eyes on the TB 700 gen 2 because it can do an xbox connection AND bluetooth. Is it ideal for streaming on OBS?

4:57 PM

its that or the Steel 7 that ive been hearing a lot about

@maccajude11 Not in this channel. You can find an appropriate channel in the list for promotions.

6:38 PM

@Deleted User Do you stream console or PC content?

i want to stream both

6:56 PM

and i realized for xbox i can use the party app on pc with the headset to chat if we end up using xbox party chat

6:56 PM

@TenderSausage

anyone know of a good guide to calibrate the brightness in streamlabs when streaming xbox?

7:06 PM

7:07 PM

There should be eyes inside of these boxes but they're just pitch black

@Deleted User personally, I’d go with the Steelseries Arctic 7.

7:10 PM

In my experience, Turtle Beach cans are lightwight.flimsy, and the drivers produce a tinny/not full sound stage.

7:11 PM

I've not heard the 700 series in real life, though, so take that for what it's worth

yeah ive been looking at reviews

I HAVE listened to the Arctis 7 and they are really nice, and quite comfortable. The battery won't do 24 hours like they claim, but it's noticably longer than most other wireless options.

7:12 PM

I have not listened to the Gen 2, but I assume the audio components didn't change much.

the only reason im look at TB is because if i get the elgato and run my xbox to it and capture in game voice chat and my mic at the same time on obs

7:15 PM

theoretically

@Deleted User You can. It might be easier to control everything on the PC, though.

7:16 PM

It also doesn't show up on stream when you manage chat, mute, etc.

yeah

It's really 6 or half dozen at this point

7:16 PM

It will work both ways with either headset, I'm pretty sure

7:17 PM

you have a ton of options

7:19 PM

My recommendation would be to just use the console for the game and little else, and to use the PC for everything else. I'm making some assumptions about your streaming PC's specs.

nah youre right

7:20 PM

im just thinking about all possible solutions

7:20 PM

and problems

@DeusExMacchiato You can apply a Color Correction filter to the source within OBS and adjust it that way.

do i ever use game chat to talk anymore? no, i dont, but what if i want to? lol

You'd still have that option, I think

in reality either one i get will work for what i want

Yeah

im just trying to cover ALL the bases

7:22 PM

the only thing with the 7 is that it doesnt connect to xbox directly, you have to use the 3.5mm

@TenderSausage thanks i'll give that a go

@Deleted User I am reversing my recommendation after reviewing microphone sound samples. The Turtle Beach is a better option. (edited)

@TenderSausage sweet, im gonna test the one i have at home first before i buy anything

9:07 PM

i have a 600 at home that does direct xbox/w10 pc connection

9:07 PM

so im gonna test that first

Hi guys! Hope you guys can give me some advice on my current PC specs (see photo). Would it be able to support streaming COD? If no, which parts should I considering upgrading first? Graphics card and RAM?

1:14 AM

Hi guys, I have a dual streaming setup. I just a few details need to sorted in regards to chat, microphone and voicemeeter mixer.

1:26 PM

So i have a usb microphone should it be connected to my streaming or gaming pc? Same with the voicemeeter app installation.

1:27 PM

Also discord setup on my streaming or gaming?

Good morning I’m a up and coming streamer looking for a good webcam to use while streaming but I don’t have any monitors or anything like that. Is there any good webcams I can use to stream off my Xbox One X. My setup 100% supports 4K UHD and pricing on the webcam doesn’t matter.

@neko.xvi The best way to test this is to do a test stream. If you'd like assistance setting that up, I'd be glad to help.

5:52 PM

@BlindStein It all depends. I'm in the process of creating a 2-PC map for this purpose. It's still in the concept stage. Here's my setup map right now (incomplete).

5:53 PM

I'm still not sure what the ideal setup is. I'm still weighing all the pros and cons.

This helps a bit....gets some of my question answered

5:55 PM

Since i am going to use voicemeeter as well.

@GimmeYaAuntE You're wanting to stream from the Xbox One X without a PC, correct?

TenderSausage

@GimmeYaAuntE You're wanting to stream from the Xbox One X without a PC, correct?

Yea

After all of my setup my money got drained and nothing was left for mixer and web cam so i am using voicemeeter and my standalone phone as a webcam

5:58 PM

Plus i have a usb mic

5:59 PM

But just to confirm i should be using all of this on my streaming pc yes?

5:59 PM

Mic, mixer, webcam

@GimmeYaAuntE I know they support all Microsoft and Logitech webcams. If money is no concern, the Brio will let you do 1920x1080p60 (if the Xbox lets you configure it as such, I don't have a console to test).

TenderSausage

@GimmeYaAuntE I know they support all Microsoft and Logitech webcams. If money is no concern, the Brio will let you do 1920x1080p60 (if the Xbox lets you configure it as such, I don't have a console to test).

Thanks for the help

6:04 PM

It says it’s a 4K capable webcam I’ll give that a try.

@BlindStein Right now, I have my mic plugged in to my Game PC, because I've been too lazy to set it up properly.

6:04 PM

@GimmeYaAuntE Yeah, 4Kp30

TenderSausage

@BlindStein Right now, I have my mic plugged in to my Game PC, because I've been too lazy to set it up properly.

I understand the lazynezs

@BlindStein The map I posted is a current state, and me in the process of mapping everything the right way.

TenderSausage

@BlindStein The map I posted is a current state, and me in the process of mapping everything the right way.

Will be waiting for the whole map....i am sure it will help loads of other people

I'm working on it slowly over the week. Hopefully I'll have it done by the weekend.

What's your favorite streaming software? Obs is cool but it seems really complicated.

@VelvetPurgatory I use SLOBS. It's convenient for me and includes most everything from OBS that you need. I have X-Split and intend to test it, but haven't.

I purchased an Elgato 4k60 Pro and later realized my stream PC doesn't have a PCIe slot big enough to fit the card. So I went out and returned it today and got the HD60S+ but I can't get it to work. For a little while i started to freak out and think it was only made for consoles but that doesnt seem to be the case. I think its because i don't have an HDMI 2.0 cable for the 'out' side of the card. But I realized since I'm not doing console streaming, am I better off just returning the HD60s+ for a HD60 Pro? I dont need the portability of the HD60S+. My monitor is a Pixio Hayabusa (240hz). Should i keep trying with a capture card or maybe just stick with NDI scan converter? (edited)

@LaFlamaBlanca The HD60 S+ doesn't require that you plug in an output.

6:43 AM

The requirements are that you have an HDMI input and an available USB 3.0 port.

6:43 AM

Is it possible you have it connected to a USB 2.0 port?

so say I'm playing a game via a capture card. The game audio is being played on stream via the capture card, my stream can hear me via my usb microphone. If i want my stream to hear a discord call, what scene do I use?

2:00 PM

@ me if you can answer

@Cal There's not enough information to give you an answer, unfortunately. Is this 2-PC, or console+PC? Where is Discord installed? Where is your Microphone plugged in?

Console plus pc

@TenderSausage have you used it before? Im trying to send my gaming pc’s screen to a streaming pc. No its not a usb 2.0. I dont understand how not having the output utilized would do anything

Discord is on the same pc I'm using to stream and the microphone is a usb

@LaFlamaBlanca I'm trying not to be offended by your question. Of course I've used one.

4:45 PM

The capture card doesn't require an HDMI out because it uses the USB 3.0 connection. The HDMI out is simply a passthrough.

4:46 PM

You CAN use it if you need it, for example in situations where you have a device with only one output, like a console. (edited)

4:47 PM

In a 2-PC setup, you're better off using multiple outputs from your video card instead of using the HDMI out on your capture card because of flexibility.

4:48 PM

For example, you will need to have all devices on a single output set at the same refresh rate. Not having these in sync can cause issues. (edited)

4:50 PM

If you use a DP for your monitor and a separate HDMI for your capture card, you can run your monitor at one refresh rate and your capture card at a different rate. In your case, this is necessary because you have a 240hz monitor and a 60hz capture card.

4:50 PM

Running your 240Hz monitor through the HDMI out on the capture card will cause refresh rate issues.

4:50 PM

@LaFlamaBlanca Does that all help?

Yes thank you. I need to reread it though, lol. Not sure if i understand it all

4:53 PM

So, is there even any point of having it? Should i go exchange it for the hd60 pro?

They are effectively the same thing

4:54 PM

Just different form factor

4:54 PM

There are some differences, but they're minor

You said “In a 2-PC setup, you're better off using multiple outputs from your video card instead of using the HDMI out on your capture card because of flexibility.” I dont understand.

4:56 PM

“”If you use a DP for your monitor and a separate HDMI for your capture card, you can run your monitor at one refresh rate and your capture card at a different rate. In your case, this is necessary because you have a 240hz monitor and a 60hz capture card.”” So how do i set this up? (edited)

Run a DP cable straight from your video card to your monitor

4:58 PM

Run a seperate HDMI cable to your capture card from your video card as well (edited)

4:58 PM

Within Windows, mirror your primary screen to your "secondary screen", aka. the capture card.

4:58 PM

You can then configure the refresh rates independently

Ohhhh interesting. Okay very cool

5:04 PM

And so then i need to run an hdmi from the output on the capture card to my stream pc, right? Or no?

Yes

5:05 PM

No

5:05 PM

wauit

5:05 PM

The USB 3.0 should be plugged in to your stream PC

5:06 PM

The USB 3.0 connection is how your stream PC recieves the video and audio from your Game PC or Console via HDMI.

Ohhhhhhhh

I can draw you a picture/diagram if that would help

Really?

Sure

5:06 PM

Gimme a minte

Yea if you dont mind, that would be awesome

So here's my setup

5:07 PM

5:08 PM

In the bottom center would be your Elgato device

5:08 PM

There's no line for HDMI out from the capture card because I have my monitors hooked up to the video cards directly

5:09 PM

I should have labeled that cable...

5:10 PM

@Cal What output device are you using for Discord?

wdym? i will probably have earbuds in so i can hear my pc audio

5:11 PM

and they have a mic on them

In Discord, you can select the output device you're using. What is the selection within the Discord settings? (edited)

default

@Cal Can you send me a screenshot of your scene real quick from OBS?

5:14 PM

I'd like to see the sources

how do you get notifications/alerts sounds back to your game pc? voicemeteer?

That's how I do it, yes

5:14 PM

But I'm trying to figure out a better way

5:15 PM

my full map is a bit further up in the chat history and has some of my initial Voicemeeter mapping

5:15 PM

It's still a work in progress

yea i remember us talking about that. thanks for all your help. how can i test that the audio is going through the capture card to the stream pc? Im just playing some music right now on gaming pc, and i have the 4k capture utility up on the Stream pc.

5:22 PM

also do you think im better off with the actual pcie card? the hd60 Pro??

TenderSausage

I'd like to see the sources

you just need to have a desktop audio input source right?

5:23 PM

thats what someone from another server told me

LaFlamaBlanca

also do you think im better off with the actual pcie card? the hd60 Pro??

I think im just going to take the HD60S+ back and get the HD60 pro. this reddit post kind of sold me https://old.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/g7xufj/elgato_h60s_or_hd60_pro/

r/Twitch - Elgato H60s+ or HD60 pro?

1 vote and 4 comments so far on Reddit

Does anybody have a Elgato Wave 3, or Samson Q2U? I'm looking to get some pictures to use on my blog. DM me if you do

@LaFlamaBlanca The point about data rates is valid. Overheating is situational.

5:42 PM

@Avalon the Dargon Slayer Not currently. I have a Blue Yet, Blue Yeti X, Fifine K669, and a Fifine K690 if you need a shot of one of those.

5:42 PM

I hope to get those two microphones soon, maybe by June.

5:44 PM

@Cal I'd recommend switching the option from default to your desired device in both Discord and OBS.

5:44 PM

5:45 PM

TenderSausage

@Cal I'd recommend switching the option from default to your desired device in both Discord and OBS.

i dont have a speaker though. I use earbuds

That's not the point

6:10 PM

It's the device name

6:10 PM

Make sure they match

6:10 PM

And are not set to default

6:11 PM

It won't say Speakers (Yeti X) for you. It will say whatever device you have connected to your PC.

@TenderSausage Hey Tender one more quick question. Im about to go exchange the HD60s+ for an HD60 PRo (if they have it in stock). when i get that and get it installed, all i need to do is run an hdmi from the gaming pc to that card's IN port on the stream pc, correct?

@LaFlamaBlanca Yeppers (edited)

7:07 PM

The HD60 Pro is a good move. Having the hardware H.264 encoder is a huge benefit.

1

@TenderSausage Awesome, glad to hear that!

@TenderSausage I don't need those atm, but I'll definitely keep you in mind for the future if I do!

7:59 AM

I ended up getting away from my pc till just now

does anyone know anywhere where i can download free transitions? @ me if you can answer

@Cal Have you looked through #royalty-free-assets?

4:43 PM

Also, many of the tutorial videos in #tutorials have source files available for free

4:43 PM

Additionally, some of the vendors like NerdOrDie and OWN3d.TV have free assets, too

4:44 PM

FWIW Own3d.TV is running a 50% off sale

@TenderSausage Hey Tender. was hoping to call on you for help once again. I've got voicemeter banana installed on both my PC's but im absolutely struggling to get it set up correctly. Every tutorial video wants to set it up with just one microphone. but I'm trying to set it up with two microphones. its a complete headache and im getting my own gaming pc's audio feedback into my headset right now. I have my stream PC using a blue snowball microphone, which is what i want viewers to hear. But on my gaming PC, I have my logitech headset with mic, and that is what I want Discord and my games to use. so friends/teammates etc hear the audio from my headset, but my stream gets the blue snowball audio. is this possible?

Could you reminde me Why are you trying to use two mics again? (edited)

4:58 PM

Sorry, that sounded rude the first time

4:58 PM

Would you rather just port one mic to both sources?

no you're fine i understand. I guess its more for my own convenience more than anything. i just dont like having the snowball anywhere near my face when gaming. i guess i could put it back up above my monitor and try that.

TenderSausage

Would you rather just port one mic to both sources?

If it makes things that much easier, i guess i can for now

I’m pretty sure we can figure out how to use just the headset mic (for your setup, it will probably give the best audio quality)

5:00 PM

I’m going to be tied up for a bit today with work, but I can hit you up a bit later. I think I have enough I do to draw a map for you.

@TenderSausage sounds good, no rush. thank you sir.

Plus, the need to set up basically the same setup, so I can test it before I recommend you make any changes

Sounds good

I'm currently working on a 4-PC setup, but I need to get the 2-PC setup dialed first

5:04 PM

1. Stream PC 2. Game PC 1 3. Game PC 2 4. Console/ Game PC 3

5:04 PM

Trying to have it all ready for November's Extra Life Game Day charity stream.

Oh wow that sounds intense.

It's mostly rinse and repeat once you get the 2-PC setup done

5:07 PM

But I'm hoping it turns out well. My next goal is incorporating remote players over VPN using NDI to see if I can get 8 players concurrently.

5:07 PM

And then run a single Among Us stream with all players on-screen.

5:09 PM

That one will be a bigger challenge because I anticipate syncronization will be a huge issue.

I thought i had it all up and running, i was so close. but im getting a slight echo from my gaming pc whenever i have sound coming in from my streaming pc. something isnt set up right. my brain is tired now.

Sorry @LaFlamaBlanca I didn't get a chance to get your map done. Got caught up with work, then HOA meeting, then kids, then sleep, then 5AM call with the Bulgarian team (I'm in Oregon, USA). (edited)

No worries man! I think I got everything set up for now

i might actually go live now and test it out

Dope, let me know if you want a viewer

do you know if there is a way to stream on twitch in like invis mode?

Yeah, Bandwidth Test

4:16 PM

You use OBS, right?

yes

There is currently no built-in test function in OBS. To try to test your streaming environment, you can run a "test" stream with Twitch by adding "? bandwidthtest" or "? bandwidthtest=true" to the end of your stream key string.

ahh its all good ill probs just go live then

1

LaFlamaBlanca

ahh its all good ill probs just go live then

I'm on whenever you go live

sweet just saw you followed, i followed you as well!

I could hear you for a second there

yea its getting my microphone, not the stream stuff though. idk

4:24 PM

do i need an audio output capture? or audio input capture?

Can you bring up voicemeeter from the back real quick?

stream pc?

Game PC

here is stream PC

4:26 PM

Did you set up a virtual cable between the two PCs?

4:29 PM

Heard it for a second

hmm no i didnt, but i have it installed

I'm trying to remember your setup

4:30 PM

you have the HD60 PRo

4:30 PM

Yous desktop audio just needs to be assigned to that output

4:30 PM

Turn on the A2 button on your Desktop

4:31 PM

from the Game PC

4:31 PM

Hmmm

4:31 PM

What device is assigned to A2?

4:31 PM

At the top, click on the little down arrow on A2

4:32 PM

Top one

4:32 PM

The HD60 PRo

4:32 PM

Do it on A2

4:32 PM

Yep

4:32 PM

I can hear it

4:32 PM

Now it's just levels

4:33 PM

I can't see A1 bewcause it's behind your camera

4:33 PM

Is the level good there?

4:33 PM

Turn up A2

4:33 PM

it's at -60

4:33 PM

Yep

4:34 PM

Oh you're right

4:34 PM

sorry, it's rearly (my excuse)

4:34 PM

Yeah, let's check over there

4:34 PM

the lVU loooks gfood on the game PC

4:34 PM

it could be the output, too

4:34 PM

Check in Windows/Recording devices

4:35 PM

Output

4:35 PM

Playback, sorry

4:35 PM

the HD60 might be turned down in there

4:35 PM

Top one, I think

4:36 PM

All the way up

4:36 PM

Use Voicemeeter to limit

4:36 PM

Boom, in business!

so do the limiting on stream pc or game pc?

Yep

or is it both?

You have the flexibility to adjust on either side, really

4:37 PM

I adjust on the stream PC

4:38 PM

Eventually, using VBAN Cables will help

4:38 PM

Because you can map inputs 1:1 from your game PC to Stream PC

4:38 PM

You can also use Potato's virtual buttons to set up macros

TenderSausage

You can also use Potato's virtual buttons to set up macros

for like scene selection and what not?

That'll help with source muting and stuff

4:39 PM

volume increments, ets

gotcha

I use a Stream Deck, but that's a free option

4:39 PM

I 100% recommend a stream deck, but it has a cost

4:40 PM

The standard

4:40 PM

15 button

4:40 PM

It's not a mandatory thing, but it is SOOO handy

what do you use it for? scene selection

Yep, and a top of other stuff

4:40 PM

control my Elgato Key Light

gotcha! very cool

control my home security cams

4:41 PM

turn on and off house lamps

4:41 PM

trugger sound board

4:41 PM

Any autoimation supported by IFTTT is supported, too

4:41 PM

I would boost thMic on the stream PC

4:42 PM

Same

how do you boost it?

Where is this mic connected?

stream pc

On your stream PC, it looks like the Blue is only assigned to one output

it is

4:44 PM

Enable B1 on it

4:45 PM

I hear yuou now

4:45 PM

on the Yeti

4:45 PM

On the Snowball, I mean

4:45 PM

But I do hear the echo

4:45 PM

Disable the headset from The issue is the headset mic

4:46 PM

that needs to get turned off from transmitting to the game pc

4:46 PM

So there are 3 microphones currently?

2, snowball on the stream PC, headset mic on gaming pc

I don't head the echo now.

4:48 PM

*hear

4:48 PM

Yep

4:48 PM

Check the input settings on the stream PC

4:48 PM

Just make sure it's not turned down

4:48 PM

Yeah

4:49 PM

Do you have G Hub or the Blue software installed?

yes

Check G Hub

4:50 PM

see if it has done something silly

4:50 PM

G Hub is better than the Blue software

4:51 PM

Right, do you have G Hub on the stream PC, too?

4:51 PM

Hmm...

4:51 PM

Is the gain dialed down?

4:53 PM

That's a little better

4:53 PM

What is your master level in OBS?

4:53 PM

Nevermind, that won't matter, the game PC source is fine

4:55 PM

I don't think that's terrible

4:55 PM

If you can get that mic any closer, it will get better

4:56 PM

As long as the face is toward you

4:56 PM

That's better

4:56 PM

Yeah!

4:56 PM

You sound hella better

4:57 PM

I have a Heil PL2T, it's decent if you can get it on sale

4:57 PM

It's a bit pricey at retail

cool ty so much man!!

No worries

4:59 PM

What mount is on it?

5:00 PM

I meant on the mic, I'm looking it up

5:01 PM

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-602000-Thread-Adapter-Microphone/dp/B00AJHE54G

5:01 PM

Do you have one of these? It might have come with your boom.

5:02 PM

You sound pretty good

I don't think you need a pop filter

5:05 PM

They're mainly for plosives (hard P and T sounds)

5:05 PM

You're far enough away where it's not a huge problem

5:06 PM

Do you It shouldn't

5:06 PM

I have 2 monitors and a capture card setup too

5:07 PM

You're only mirroring the one display

5:07 PM

So it shouldn't cause any issues

5:07 PM

I use a Canon 60D and a Logitech C922 Pro Stream

5:08 PM

I'm planning on upgrading to a Sony a6400

anything else you can think of that i could improve on?

I headed to Twitch chat

Anyone use Streamlabs OBS and Xbox? I seem to be missing a lot of gradients when i look at the output

3:48 PM

3:49 PM

There are a lot of gradients of grey missing above the top color blocks and in the lower right

3:49 PM

filter color correction settings with gamma, brightness, contrast etc dont seem to help much

@DeusExMacchiato Check to make sure your input is configured with Full color range. Adjusting the color space might help too. (edited)

i'll try that again thanks

I have a BRB scene in slobs that has no mic capture but i can still hear myself

Hey need someone who knows a lot about capture cards from PC to PC!

@Princess Bean What do you have configured in your audio settings?

5:04 PM

@ifoxmani What is your question?

@Princess Bean Are you monitoring your microphone in SLOBS?

Hey! So I have a 2 PC Stream setup and I have a couple of questions:

How can I be able to have my follow/dono notifications show up on stream WITH me being able to actually hear them? Right now I am only aware of these events because of my twitch bot, and sadly its pretty late to notify sometimes.
What is the best way to use something like NohBoard on stream? NohBoard is a program which displays my keyboard inputs, but im unsure how to do this on 2 computers. Thanks!

(edited)

It seems we need a video/guide for 2-pc setups

Do you guys think a 2 PC Stream Setup is even worth it? What does it provide that a 1 PC setup doesn't?

5:24 AM

It feels like a 2 PC Stream Setup is doomed to be a MUCH lower quality simply because of all the stuff you don't have access to

5:24 AM

is this true? or do i just not know how to use it well

The main benefit of a two system setup is that your gaming PC is free to be the tip top of its performance potential. So, like, if you play competition level games, it’s worth all the hassle. (edited)

You think so? It just feels like such a massive hassle, like even something as simple as using voicemeeter to transmit audio from 1 PC to the next is absurdly inconcistent

It’s also leaving your second PC free to make your stream look as good as it can.

Okay but how is it possible for me to have a good looking stream on the 2nd PC though? I can't window capture anything, I can pretty much only monitor capture what my main PC is looking at

5:47 AM

and have like streamlabs widgets (which are also inconsistent at best)

Well you’d be sending your Gaming PC to a Capture Card on your Streaming PC.

5:48 AM

Just like you’d do for a console.

Right

5:48 AM

so its just transmitting my monitor

5:48 AM

and I wouldn't be able to window cap anything from my gaming PC since my stream PC doesnt have access to that

Well it would be showing everything on your gaming PC, so you should show your browser or whatever just like a game.

Right yeah but I'm saying for example when I'm speedrunning I wouldn't be able to incorporate LiveSplit into my overlay without blocking a part of my game

5:50 AM

because I can't window capture it

5:50 AM

or if i play something on spotify i cant show the song title on stream for the same reason

Well a lot of things like Spotify you’d be doing on the Streaming PC

5:52 AM

Basically anything not a game would be on that. I don’t know how LiveSplit works so I can’t talk about that.

Wait what?

5:52 AM

How would I listen to the music though?

5:52 AM

if my headphones are plugged into my gaming pc to hear the game?

Well that’s why you’d need a mixer

Is that not what Voicemeeter is for though?

5:53 AM

Or is that a different thing

You’d need a hardware mixer

5:53 AM

To bring in multiple inputs and blend them, and then output to your OBS and your headphones.

5:54 AM

Two system is way more complicated than one.

Oh god lol yeah

5:54 AM

Would that be how I'd hear my alerts on my gaming PC too?

Yeah, exactly!

hm okay

5:54 AM

how much would that run me?

Oh boy. I mean that depends a lot on what you already have. Like, if you have USB only headphones and a USB mic those wouldn’t work.

5:56 AM

If you just need a mixer it wouldn’t be too bad....but like all things that depends on how fancy you wanna be.

OH wait I do have an audio interface for my mic since its XLR

5:56 AM

would that work?

5:56 AM

or is that also different

If it’s a mixer maybe, if it’s just converting XLR to USB or something than no.

its a behringer UMC202HD

Dual PC Streaming setup WITHOUT a Capture Card (2020) NDI & OBS Studio

Queue

its a behringer UMC202HD

Yeah that’s not a mixer, just an audio interface

ah ok

Well the network thing might work fine for you, but you’re still dealing with your audio issue.

6:00 AM

If your headphones are 3.5mm you could just buy a 3.5mm splitter, two male to one female, and plug those into the headphone jack of each PC (edited)

6:01 AM

Then plug your headphones into that, to hear your Alerts and your game. (edited)

That would actually work?

6:12 AM

Wow I will say though this NDI thing works much easier than using a capture card + Voicemeeter, are there any downsides to using this as opposed to a capcard?

6:17 AM

Hm I guess I can't have the audio that I physically hear be a different volume than what the stream hears

6:17 AM

but on the otherhand voicemeeter randomly stopped working on my Streaming PC lol

hi can i meet with someone to help me out really quick? need help with my el gato hd60s

@ifoxmani what's up

i can see my apps open on my stream to my streaming pc streamlabs.. but not my desktop...

Please confirm: From your Game PC, you have 2 outputs: 1. HDMI to HD60 S 2. HDMI/DP/DVI to Monitor

No. HDMI from Gmaing PC to el gato (input).

7:48 PM

and HDMI output el gato to streaming pc

@ifoxmani

What if it’s a laptop though

What if what is a laptop? (edited)

Oh hold up I think I’ve got it thank you!!! If I have more issues I’ll ask again thank you!

No problem

@TenderSausage i have run into issues

@ifoxmani What's up?

are we able to do a call?

I have a meeting in 13 minutes.

8:46 PM

I'l hop in chat real quick

now my mic isnt working gimme a sec.. el gato got be screwed up

@ifoxmani I guess it was a short call

9:07 PM

I'm going to uninstall Banana and install Potato on both my PCs, be back shortly.

whats wrong with voicemeeter?

4:35 PM

Also @Chorazin I bought that 3.5mm splitter you suggessted but there's a bunch of static when its plugged into both PCs at the same time

4:35 PM

is that just.. something thats gonna happen? or what

Hmmm sounds like one of them isn't shielded or grounded properly.

4:39 PM

That is the cheapest way to make it work, so that's why I suggested that first

hm well ive tried swapping the ends

4:39 PM

both male ends work perfectly fine individually

4:39 PM

but when i have both in, the issue comesout

One thing you could try that I've had luck with cheap 3.5mm plugs is having it plugged in 90% instead of having it plugged completely in.

that didnt work sadly

I just had voicemeeter corrupt and lose all my settings. Word of the wise: SAVE YOUR SETTINGS!

4:54 PM

Once you have them saved, check the box to load them at startup

4:56 PM

Other than this little glitch @Queue, I've had no issues with Voicemeeter

damn that rly sucks

I recommend it a lot
