If you're trying to play the music from a browser and do not have the raw files, you would want to route your browser audio through it's own channel

Is there a way to optimize streaming on a raspberry pi 3b?

Boosta

Hey! I use VLC Media player for my music! I would download VLC Media player to play your playlists, it even has it's own category in OBS!

Thank you. I will try these things out later today.

does anyone happen to know whether OBS Studio will capture color/light altering program effects such as f.lux or similar when streaming via window or game capture?

Yes, OBS Game Capture has a checkbox option to allow 3rd party overlays

1:55 AM

Things like discord, steam, onscreen crosshairs wont show up without that box checked

@Boosta @TenderSausage It seems to be working now, maybe because of the latest patch:

Thanks a lot for the help and input (pun intended)

Big news from Elgato: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410914582797-Wave-Link-VST-Plugins-How-to-Get-Started

Incredible, it would be amazing to put VSTs on my wife's wave setup

4:28 PM

Wave was functional, yet kinda lacking in customization

hey all, had a technical question about stream quality. i have a 3440x1440 monitor, and I have a 1080p video in fullscreen mode (from a chrome tab) if I set my OBS canvas to 1080p and adjust the window stream source to fit the non-black bar part of the video, would there be loss of quality?

No loss of quality no

10:27 PM

You don't lose quality going down (making smaller) you only lose it going up (making larger)

wouldn't this technically be upscaling to 1440p for display, and then downscaling to 1080p for stream? just wondering if it would have a difference if the display was set to 1080p (edited)

10:30 PM

as an alternate scenario, is there a way to set up a virtual display that I can have at 1080p so I can have the video fullscreen but not using the ultrawide?

I mean you can set your display for 16:9 if you want, but no its not upscaling to 1440 if your display is at 1440, its your native.

any suggestions for a virtual display?

I mean why would you want to?

3:59 PM

Set your canvas up the way you want it.

i guess the idea is that I could use a virtual display to have a full-screened 1080p video as the OBS video source, and still use my ultrawide for fullscreen gaming

If you upscale a video from 1080p to 4k, then downscale it again, mathematically there shouldnt be much difference

11:24 PM

I wouldnt even worry about that, id just use hold alt while i reform the sides of the red grid box to crop it in OBS if there's too much on the sides

Anyone know a good voice changer (preferrably free) with an auto tune preset? or an auto tune preset for voxal?

@SomeTexanGuy I haven't been able to find one. I'm testing the Antares Auto-Tune EFX VST right now. Not sure it's worth $175/year for what I want to do. (edited)

Can anyone help me with an issue with SLOBS? I'm trying to set it up so i can play music through my headphones and on the stream without it coming out of my laptop speakers

So step 1 - Get off SLOBS. Its a horrible program and at some point in your future you will want the power and freedom of OBS Studio Step 2 - You need to set the audio output of SLOBS/OBS in Settings. You then also have to match the audio output in Windows. So In windows your output should be Headphones, and then in OBS it should be set the same. Now, if you are trying to use both your speakers and your headphones at the same time, that's when you need a mixer, a Wave 1/3 mic for Wave Link Software, or virtual audio cables @NoseWrecky

@NoseWrecky Along these lines, I (personally) won't be supporting any SLOBS issues due to Streamlabs being terrible people. They are wholly dishonest and should not be a company, IMO. With that said, VoiceMeeter Banana is a software you should look into. If you end up switching to OBS Studio, let me know and I can help you get OBS and VoiceMeeter set up.

Can anyone think of any potential solutions as to why my ethernet cable/internet connection isn't being detected on my new pc? Aside from the obvious restart pc etc? Cheers

@caesar5377 When you plug the cable in, do any lights turn on where the jack is? There is typically a green Link light and an amber Status light.

8:45 PM

There would be lights on both sides of the cable, on the PC end and on the router/switch end.

8:45 PM

If there are no lights, it could be a physical connection issue, meaning a bad cable or hardware.

8:46 PM

One thing that would help to know is if the cable works with another PC, but not this one.

Both a green and amber light are preseny

You may need to load your ethernet driver manually, or see if Windows (assume that's what is installed) is not seeing the ethernet port correctly. 1. If the green and amber lights are solid and not blinking at all: right-click the Windows/start menu icon > click "Device Manager" > check for an entry in "Other Devices" and/or "Network Adapters" sections. 2. If there is an unknown device with a "bang" (yellow exclamation point) and no Ethernet network adapter in network devices, try manually downloading the network driver for your board/adapter/system from the manufacturer, likely need to download on a separate system if possible. 3. If there are no unknown devices AND no ethernet device listed in Device Manager, either go to Windows Settings OR open Network and Sharing Center (Control Panel) > click Change Adapter Settings > see if the Ethernet is listed and possibly disabled > right-click and enable the Ethernet adapter if listed. 4. If the above are all no-go, check your BIOS to verify there isn't a setting disabling the Ethernet adapter. If not disabled I'm the BIOS, the above didn't work, AND the green & amber lights are completely solid (no flashing at all), you may need to contact the manufacturer as completely solid lights can be indicative of a dead ethernet port.

First thing I would do is check the Network Status window to see what Windows is saying is going on. Can you access that and post a screenshot? You can find it by typing "network" in the Start search bar.

Yea, i'd check the router connection and lights like Tender said and I'd also go through the windows network troublshooting wizard, can solve dumb things really easily.

Hey folks, looking for some advice/help. I'm currently on a single pc setup with a R5 3600 cpu, 5700xt gpu and looking to stream on Youtube more regularly. With my youtube stream, I want to ensure that I'm hitting theVP9 codec as most AVC streams look shitty. This will require me to stream at 1440p to do so, but I have the added issue that I'll need to do my rendering with x264 as the AMD gpu codec is useless. Would upgrading my CPU to something like a R7 5800x make a notable difference in terms of capability to stream at 1440p/60fps and game in 1080p?

Have you tried streaming with that setting yet? I'd give it a shot, but theres a chance you could receive a slight bottleneck with the 3600 six core

12:28 AM

I own the 5800x and it does swimmingly, definitely recommend, but its a hot one so make sure you invest in a good cooler

12:29 AM

my streaming pc uses my ryzen 5 now

12:30 AM

and id say that as far as AMD goes, gaming performance doesnt get any better atm

12:30 AM

5800x is a titan

12:30 AM

Plus amd cpus play very nicely with amd gpus

Yeah I've given it a few stream tests and I'm sure it's giving me some lag in game at times. I've got a coolermaster hyper 212 so should hopefully be fine for the cooler. I'm actually thinking maybe just taking the smaller step up to a 3800x as I may need a new mobo/PSU if I went for the 5800x or at least flash the bios on my current board.

what mobo/psu do you have

12:32 AM

the 5800x is not that much more expensive, and it is without a doubt a better cpu

12:32 AM

I could help you flash bios, thats not a huge issue

motherboard is a B350 PC Mate and PSU is only a 550 bronze

Yea 3xx doesnt support 5000 series

12:33 AM

so you'll be cornered into something like a 3700x

Thought as much.

I also own a 3700x, which is very good

12:34 AM

Not much different

12:34 AM

way cooler

I would reckon just the step up in extra couple of cores would be useful for the cpu rendering/encoding

yea, if you see X in the title of an AMD cpu

12:34 AM

that means it comes out of the box ready for boosted overclock

12:35 AM

should work that way after a normal install

Sweet

12:35 AM

I'll give it some thought and a bit more digging after a few test streams in the coming weeks and see what my plans should be

Yea, but dont worry too much about the difference between 3700x and 5800x

12:36 AM

Same idea, just different gen

Nice one. Appreciate the advice

2:18 AM

What should I upgrade next? I want to run games like Apex/Destiny at full 60 fps at 1080p

2:19 AM

(I do have a 4k monitor too, but willing to sacrifice resolution for frames

WickedTurtle

What should I upgrade next? I want to run games like Apex/Destiny at full 60 fps at 1080p

You could try to run the game on fullscreen at 1080p or 1440p

3:36 AM

But other than that, the setup looks decent for 60fps as of the last time i played the game

For some reason my pc is still stuttering, and dropping a ton of frames.

3:36 AM

D2 is running at 25 fps

3:36 AM

And MC is stuttering too chick_cry

Well, since you have 1660 id try to run games at low graphics settings

3:37 AM

I have a 3070 and do that, just makes it more stable imo

3:37 AM

Because the more your gpu has to work, the less frames it can push

3:38 AM

But also, destiny is a cpu heavy game too

3:38 AM

This is what my pc is running at with minecraft

3:38 AM

But still stuttering right now

3:38 AM

Even only at 50% gpu

Do you have GSync on?

3:38 AM

Id try turning Gsync and Vsync off

3:39 AM

G Sync can be turned off in your nvidia control panel

Okay ill take a look at Nvidia

ive had problems with it on certain monitors, so ive gotten rid of it, make sure to update the gpu drivers too

Thank you

Is it possible to use stream delay in OBS to black out the stream in case of emergency (ex. TOS), so for ex. instead of last 5 seconds just a black screen is sent out? seems like an obvious feature. (edited)

Less of a tech support question, but where is the best place to find people to commission for a stream overlay?

@teawhydee Not in a good way, no. They call it a "dump button", and it's something that should probably exist given the DMCA and TOS banhammers. As far as I understand it, the issue is that the delayed content is still in queue to be presented, and there is no way to interject within the bitstream without removing and replacing your stream token with some other value, which would then invalidate the stream session and end it immediately. I suppose it's technically feasible, and could be as easy as a plugin that makes more sense of existing functionality in OBS.

thanks

I purchased mine on fiverr, got a pretty good deal from an indian guy

9:45 PM

make sure to keep on them though, some of them wait until the last minute to start, which means they might miss something

I know some people use delay, which depending on how long it is, will take up more memory. For instance if you have a 1 minute delay on stream, you should be able to kill it before the bad thing pops up and restart the stream. (edited)

9:46 PM

This however makes it harder to interact with chat in realtime.

i know that. I want to be able to black out the stream without stopping it, but thanks (edited)

9:54 PM

I found a solution on reddit: it's not very good

You can create scene (1) with your scene (2) as only input and add render delay filter(s) (one is 500ms max) to the scene (1) and use it normally and switch back to the scene (2) if you need to skip few seconds. You'd also probably have to delay the sound the same amount as video in scene (2).

sounds way easier to just avoid copyrighted content

9:57 PM

Many people will sing or make noise over troublesome music

9:58 PM

play a sample, something like that

10:02 PM

I also use a splash screen for when i dont want people to see things, its just a big logo

I am really impressed by this thing.

@Chorazin Me too! Super good image quality, and the software is better to use that the Kiyo Pro, the other Sony-based webcam that I'm aware of.

Yuuuuup. It took some tweaking in settings to get the settings right but now it looks great. Using my Kiyo Pro as a dedicated cat cam since it was so unreliable. (edited)

1

It's not on-par with my Sony a6400 (and cannot be expected to be), but for the price, it's a clear leader. It's a great camera. (edited)

It's not on par with a $1k camera? Shocked, I am.

I'm mostly stating that for posterity. There's just no comparison to a camera with real glass lenses. (edited)

3:39 PM

Someone's bound to ask the question, there's the answer.

3:40 PM

For webcams, I don't know that there is a better option on the market than the Facecam. My next closest suggestion might be the Mevo, but I'm still testing that camera.

3:42 PM

SDI-capable at 1080p at 15Mbit is the selling point, but I'm having issues getting reconnected with it from time to time. Kind of a bummer.

Yeah, the camera not responding is why I moved away from the Kiyo Pro

TBH, I've had a ton of issues with the Kiyo Pro. It's really picky about almost everything.

3:46 PM

Razer software out of date? Crash. Did your chair creak? Crash. Were you thinking about ordering from Door Dash? Crash.

I went with a logi streamcam, its alright but needs A LOT of fiddling

4:40 PM

probably would go with facecam if i got another

4:41 PM

or use my gopro or dlsr once i get an additional cap card

I have a StreamCam to use on my game screen, works pretty well for me but it can be fiddly. (edited)

Needs an absurd amount of light in my experience

4:42 PM

and i always have to manually adjust the exposure

I have two Elgato Keylight Airs because the lighting in my old house is ROUGH.

I have one LED square above my monitor, but i have lots of tungsten-lighting (edited)

4:44 PM

its kinda weird because i like the warm natural lighting, but i also like the crispness of the leds

Warm is great for living, but rough for filming lol

I also have two Key Light Airs, like @Chorazin. Most webcams (in general) need an absurd amount of light.

yea, i also am VERY critical of my own picture

5:26 PM

but i forget to look at very successful people and notice their cam is doing the same things as mine

5:27 PM

makes things a little less harsh on me

Lighting is the bane of my existence.

I got my framerate issue fixed, but now my wifi adapter just shuts off every once in a while, kicking me off my game and stream and forcing a full reconnect. Any tips?

@WickedTurtle What does your Event Viewer say is going on? (edited)

9:07 PM

9:08 PM

Check to see if there are any issues related to your wireless adaptor under Windows Logs -> System

TenderSausage

@WickedTurtle What does your Event Viewer say is going on? (edited)

I believe this is the event associated with it

10:49 PM

I am getting a buttload of these too

@WickedTurtle Sounds like you're missing drivers. I'm guessing that you have a USB hard drive plugged in?

11:30 PM

I'd recommend installing the chipset and USB controller drivers at the least.

11:31 PM

If you would like help locating the correct files, just respond with your motherboard brand and model.

USB sometimes likes to put devices to sleep, depending on power settings

11:33 PM

ive had issues with it turning things off unless i changed how the device behaves on wake/sleep or whatever (edited)

TenderSausage

@WickedTurtle Sounds like you're missing drivers. I'm guessing that you have a USB hard drive plugged in?

Yes I just got one and it looks like that second event is just from when I restarted my computer. I re-plugged it and I've stopped getting that event

11:44 PM

The first event (WLAN) is what has been the consistent issue I'm guessing

Boosta

USB sometimes likes to put devices to sleep, depending on power settings

I have changed this setting for my wifi adapter and still get the same issue

Do you have the ability to use a normal ethernet cable?

12:03 AM

For streaming, i would recommend using one lol

12:04 AM

i even bought a little usb ethernet adapter for my nintendo switch so i dont have to worry about wifi

Unfortunately I don't

12:17 AM

Modem is on the complete opposite side of the house, downstairs

How did reinstalling the drivers go, @WickedTurtle?

TenderSausage

How did reinstalling the drivers go, @WickedTurtle?

I reinstalled the driver for the adapter, should I still install those drivers you suggested?

I would.

I would.

I haven't gotten an Elgato Capture Card HD60 S or S+ yet, which is more recommended for Switch gaming and PC gaming? I don't completely get passthrough, but doesn't it seem like a waste to passthrough 2160p to OBS on the S+ when streams are basically capped 1080p 60fps?

Passthrough just means you dont need to split the signal to your viewing screen, basically its just a way to get realtime video on your main screen

3:32 AM

Otherwise you could be behind, depending on how good your hardware is

3:33 AM

I have an internal capture card, ive had way less problems with the HD60 Pro

So yeah uhh I have a thing to mount my LED panel to my monitor for my C920 but with the issues the C920 has been causing I’m thinking about replacing it with a Razer Kiyo. Eliminates the LED Panel issue, and the annoyance of the webcam. Any other perks/reasons why Kiyo > C920?

Kiyo's arent bad, although ive heard sketchy things about the Kiyo Pro

10:46 PM

You could try downloading Logitech Camera Control and go over a few guides, usually they take a decent amount of fiddling for a decent quality picture

10:47 PM

c920 isnt bad, but if you're gonna upgrade theres probably better

Well biggest thing is

10:56 PM

I have to plug it into my mobo and not my hub

10:56 PM

plus the led panel eventually yeets itself off my monitor

10:56 PM

and ion wanna end up breaking my 165hz monitor

10:57 PM

So yeah

10:59 PM

and amazon got refurbed Kiyos

Ive never found a great solution to get my leds on my monitor

60fps*

11:02 PM

11:02 PM

But none of my razer setup has ever failed, but i dont have kiyo

11:02 PM

i have mouse, keyboard, mousepad, headphone stand, charger as backups, razers not bad

and since I never do full cam (my background ain't exactly the nicest) 720 is fine

11:08 PM

Anyone tell me how to change the color of that black text?

11:09 PM

I'm using OBS and Streamelements

In the Streamelements web thing

11:21 PM

where you made the overlay

11:21 PM

you can find options for changing the text colors

11:22 PM

I changed mine to white, although i dont plan on using the feature for my main screen

11:23 PM

yea, well razer wont help you with anything if it goes wrong, theyll just blame the refurbisher

11:24 PM

opening those things up voids any responsibility they had to produce a good product

hi all

6:24 PM

new, tech-illiterate streamer here who's spent the past few months investing in equipment

6:25 PM

i'm currently rocking an elgato facecam, which has been great, but i really want to upgrade to a DSLR or mirrorless camera

6:25 PM

I've been reading and listening to reviews but I'm genuinely at a loss

6:26 PM

I'm looking for something that will let me livestream at higher quality than my Elgato Facecam Webcam and also allow me to record long videos for YouTube

6:26 PM

I don't wanna drop $1500 or anything, so I've been looking at the Sony ZV-1

6:26 PM

I'm willing to spend $600-700 on a webcam, but I'm looking for guidance based on what I want. I'd appreciate any advice.

@Jessiah hey, I am not a camera expert, but i want to note that you will need to invest in some type of capture card, a few cables and a mount for the camera, so figure those into the cost.

12:08 AM

4k capture cards aren't as expensive as they used to be

Boosta

@Jessiah hey, I am not a camera expert, but i want to note that you will need to invest in some type of capture card, a few cables and a mount for the camera, so figure those into the cost.

Ok, I appreciate that!

Any further insights from camera folks would be appreciated

Hi, everyone! I'm looking to replace my Scarlet 2i2 (2nd Gen) and I'm leaning toward the WaveXLR. It's within my budget and the new VST support is great. Only thing is, I also want the voice effects that you get from something like the GoXLR or Zoom V3. Basically, and this is so simple, I just want access to reverb and telephone effects on the fly, which is why I'm not itching to drop $250 on a Zoom V3. Is it possible to toggle reverb, telephone, etc. effects with a WaveXLR? I'm aware of Voicemod, but I hear iffy things about that, and as far as I'm aware, it's meant to work with Stream Deck. Thanks in advance!

I tried for about two days to get Antares AutoTune EFX to work with the WaveXLR, and I simply couldn't.

3:50 AM

I don't know why.

3:52 AM

I also tried Voicemod, and it was hilariously bad, like incredibly bad.

3:53 AM

It introduced latency and was choppy

TenderSausage

I also tried Voicemod, and it was hilariously bad, like incredibly bad.

I was afraid of that. Not super impressed with what I saw on YouTube or the website.

I wouldn't recommend buying the WaveXLR if you're looking for the VSTs. They're just not there yet.

3:54 AM

I am literally in this EXACT same spot

3:54 AM

I just bought a Yamaha MG10XUF and I'm liking that so far

3:55 AM

It has USB out on 9/10

3:55 AM

I haven't played with that yet, I am just running from the outputs into my WaveXLR as an interface.

TenderSausage

I just bought a Yamaha MG10XUF and I'm liking that so far

Interesting. That is a complicated looking piece of machinery. Do you recommend it as a companion to the WaveXLR? It looks like it might be able to function on its own.

3:56 AM

I know you just said you wouldn't recommend the WaveXLR yet. But the two of these combined maybe?

BVos

Interesting. That is a complicated looking piece of machinery. Do you recommend it as a companion to the WaveXLR? It looks like it might be able to function on its own.

I think it can.

3:57 AM

I'm running them together currently. It works fine

3:57 AM

The effects are a bit limited, and only have one parameter to change, AND can only be run one at a time

3:59 AM

But for simple effects with a USB input, this little dude isn't half bad

3:59 AM

especially if you're already familiar with mixers

3:59 AM

If not, there are other options, like the Rodecaster

4:00 AM

I think that's my next piece of hardware to buy as I wait for the GoXLR to come down in price

TenderSausage

The effects are a bit limited, and only have one parameter to change, AND can only be run one at a time

One at a time isn't a deal breaker. I'll look into it. Once upon a time, I had an Allen & Heath ZED-10, but I sold it because I didn't need it. Thanks for the suggestion!

4:00 AM

Either the GoXLR goes down in price or your memberships jump

4:00 AM

Both are ideal

No worries. With the Yamaha, you can go out to an effects loop of your creation, using whatever pedals or effects you might already have. Just a thought.

@TenderSausage Browsing the Yamaha AG03 right now. Looks very promising.

I went ahead and got a GoXLR mini. @BVos, it just works

4:50 AM

i havent had audio problems in many moons

Boosta

I went ahead and got a GoXLR mini. @BVos, it just works

I like what I've seen with the GoXLR mini, how it's streamlined and reliable, but are you able to do any live audio FX?

casting voicemeeter into the fires of mount doom felt very cathartic

1

4:52 AM

Most of my live fx comes from Soundboard on the Elgato Stream Deck or through the sample channel on the GoXLR mini

4:52 AM

The GoXLR big boy has some voice effects

4:52 AM

But id prefer software to handle those type of things

4:53 AM

The GoXLR channel system is very good and lets you route anything to anywhere very easily

4:53 AM

all models come with a cough button and a censor button, that gives a nifty beep whenever you fear a DCMA

4:54 AM

Im all software based though, people with higher tier setups might want a dedicated mixing board

4:54 AM

GoXLR also provides support for Phantom power XLR and can push 250 ohm headphones

4:55 AM

so you wont need anything extra if you have good peripherals

I actually have a lot of plugins with FLStudio, so I know I could do everything I need in post, but I was hoping for something I could monitor live. But yeah, this is what's so hard about choosing.

4:55 AM

So no need for a cloud lifter?

Nope

oh perfect

I use a SM7b

I just picked up the Rode PodMic yesterday and have to max out the gain on my Scarlet 2i2, which is one reason why I'm upgrading.

4:56 AM

That's good to know

Rode makes a good dynamic mic

4:56 AM

you should be good with that

Alpha Gaming did a comparison between the SM7b and PodMic, which is why I ended up going with the Rode. He was able to make it sound close enough to the SM7b with EQ, which is one reason why I was looking into the WaveXLR. The ability to apply live EQ

4:58 AM

Just an affordable option until I can spend more on a mic later

GoXLR has its own EQ system built in, along with compressor, noise gate

4:59 AM

Not super duper fancy, but once i set it up, i havent had to mess with much

Wow, great.

I normally dont stan a product too much, but this thing saved me a lot of headaches

4:59 AM

basically designed for streamers

5:00 AM

beautiful LEDs too, i have it matched with my iCUE

1

That helps me filter my choices, thanks. And, yeah, that's a big draw for me. The fact that it's built specifically for content creators and streamers.

yea im a former scarlet solo convert

5:02 AM

I loved the design of the scarlett, but it seemed like there was a lot in the chain

5:03 AM

some people like shroud make it work perfectly though

5:03 AM

so i guess its different for each case

That's true. I think Ludwig uses a Scarlet 2i2 also.

5:04 AM

Not that he uses a ton of FX during his streams.

5:04 AM

Or anything super complex

Yea, i used to add denoisers and vsts and all kinds of crap

5:04 AM

Now i just quieted all the stuff around my apartment that i could, fridge compressor, rattley doors

5:05 AM

Use a simple noise gate, lowered my fan curves, now i dont need much

Was trying to get into streaming last year, didnt work out, wanted to try again this year. Had a quick question regarding view-ability of my stream. So I have a secondary PC that runs the stream that is hooked up to an older, basic 60hz 1080p monitor. It contains my capture card which is an Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro. My question is regarding my monitor and how the stream would be affected if I got a new one. On my gaming PC, which outputs to the secondary stream PC, I currently am running a 24in 1080p 240hz monitor. If I switched to a 24in 1440p 165hz monitor, how would that affect the stream? Does Twitch take care of all that on the back end? Or would I have to run my monitor at 1080p? Would i still be able to stream at 1440p?

Your screen would not impact your stream settings on a dedicated streaming computer.

9:25 PM

However, the HD60 PRO will not accept a signal over 1080p.

So the hd60 pro wouldn't be able to use the 1440p signal at all? no conversion or downgrade or anything like that ?

Don't think so. I'm reading the documentation now, but it doesn't mention downsampling capability.

9:30 PM

Unfortrunately, you're looking at a 4K60 PRO to do anything in 1440p

9:31 PM

(or the equivalent in another brand, i.e. AverMedia GC573, etc.)

Ah bummer. That is the card I had initially, BUT it didn't fit the motherboard inside of the prebuilt that I got from BestBuy to use as my stream PC

Didn't have a second PCI-e 8x or 16x?

It was missing the 2nd piece i cant remember what it was exactly, about to look at it real quick

Mine is plugged into a slot that is much longer than the card.

both extra pci-e slots are only two slots total. one is half the size of the other roughly.

Ah

I'm assuming any sort of adapter most likely doesn't exist.

TenderSausage

Don't think so. I'm reading the documentation now, but it doesn't mention downsampling capability.

thanks for checking into that, preciate it

I think it'd be more reasonable to find a different capture card, maybe a USB 3.x card like the GC553 or the 4K60 S+? (edited)

is that an external card?

Yeah, both are USB 3.0

9:39 PM

I have the GC553, it's good

9:39 PM

But I replaced it with the 4K60 PRO

Better performance I assume?

IIRC, I had some kind of issue with the HDCP with my monitor or something

yea thats much cheaper, i could just get that and a new mobo

9:42 PM

this is the board that came in the prebuilt: b460m pro-vdh wifi (edited)

9:43 PM

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B460M-PRO-VDH-WIFI

B460M PRO-VDH WIFI

Inspired from architectural design with the Core Boost, DDR4 Boost, Audio Boost, Twin Turbo M.2

Thx again @TenderSausage

@LaFlamaBlanca nvidia may let you clone your main monitor with the "capture card monitor"

12:37 AM

Might be worth checking out if you have nvidia

12:38 AM

I clone a 1080p240fps stream down to 1080p60fps, so id imagine nvidia can do some scaling to get the HDMI output on the GPU to output a downscaled picture

Yea, i was hoping so. But not sure. I got the monitor tonight and its 1440p so i can at least hook it up and give it a shot before knowing it definitely won’t work. Ill have to give it a shot maybe tomorrow or this weekend and report back.

@Boosta Is that like a virtual headless display?

12:47 AM

I'll have to look into that. That would have some serious use cases.

12:50 AM

Just looks like this

12:50 AM

1 is the gaming monitor from displayport

12:51 AM

and 2 is the capture card, 2 is cloned from 1

12:51 AM

Nvidia control panel handles the framerate and resolution conversion

12:52 AM

i only have a mere hd60 pro

12:52 AM

not the 4k cap card

also, as a side note, hopefully your main monitor is 16:9

1:02 AM

that will make things much simpler

I'm using the same thing, I've just never configured the clone to downsample in Nvidia Control Panel.

1:12 AM

If 1 were 1440p, what would the output of 2 be?

1:13 AM

I suppose you'd just configure that here...

1:13 AM

Set up the scaling... I've literally never played with this.

1:13 AM

Why, I have no idea.

1:14 AM

Thanks for showing me something new, @Boosta

1:14 AM

I would assume you'd want to make sure the scaling is done on the GPU

1:15 AM

And probably override the scaling mode

1:16 AM

@LaFlamaBlanca In that case, maybe you can?

1:16 AM

Sorry for steering you astray. This might work for you.

TenderSausage

Thanks for showing me something new, @Boosta

no problem my guy, took me a while to figure it out, and im here to spread the knowledge

No worries at all my man, I appreciate your help. And you @Boosta . So, would i be doing the changes in nvidia control panel on the stream Pc, or gaming PC?

gaming pc

1

Cause my new monitor is 1440p and the one on my stream pc is some old junker 60hz at 1920x1080

The monitor on your stream PC makes no difference in this situation; You can safely ignore it

Okay good to know. Thanks all. Ill def report back

Audio streaming at 160kbps which sounds better AAC or OGG??

@DJboutit There is almost an imperceptible difference

1

6:54 PM

And you'd need really high end headphones to even tell

6:56 PM

Only reason to play with filetype is if your having technical issues with the recording - I tried recording on my AMD card using H264 AMF, and the audio was garbled. X264 had no problems.

6:56 PM

Changed filetype to record, and garbled audio went away

6:57 PM

No idea why that fixed it though, if I'm being honest

6:57 PM

nvidia card had no such issue

6:57 PM

Could be driver related for all I know

1

I don't think there's much in the way of file size savings, either.

7:59 PM

found a neat little chart

8:00 PM

Looks like OGG will be the best bet according to this, but i dont think it matters all too much

8:03 PM

heres the pertinent article

8:04 PM

https://www.viwizard.com/drm-basics/aac-vs-ogg.html

AAC vs Ogg: Which is the Winner?

What are AAC and Ogg? How they compare with each other? Come on in and find the answer here.

That article is an ad for ViWizard software. What is the criteria for being better or worse?

Well theyre just formats

1:37 AM

same way something like GIMP might have a brief explanation comparing pngs to jpgs.

1:39 AM

Also I dont see any advertisements in it besides at the top bar where you can redirect to the main page.

1:39 AM

There's loads of alternatives that will do the same file conversions

1:42 AM

I just saw someone ask "which one sounds better at 160kps" which was pretty vague

1:42 AM

so i found a chart that could probably give them more than they needed to sort through

I just don't see anything to sort through. It doesn't give any real reasons as to why one is better, no real measure of "betterness". And the ad is just the fact that they want you to use their software to convert Spotify and Apple Music Files. This is useless copy to sell licenses.

Hey guys. I can stream to YouTube at 15k bitrate and its perfect, 0 dropped frames and consistent conenction. However, to Twitch, I can't even keep a stable 6k. It drops to 2.5k and just hangs sometimes. Any help would be appreciated

Twitch doesn't accept more than 6k

4:18 PM

I mean they will a bit over 6k, but if you are trying to send over 8k to Tiwtch it blacks out

Jahlon

Twitch doesn't accept more than 6k

Yea, that's why I keep it at 6k. But even then it still has problems with consistently keeping it at that, it always drops to ~2.5k, whereas youtube stays consistent at ~15k.

Can you post a stream graph from https://inspector.twitch.tv please?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is what you want, please correct me if I'm wrong, but is this it?

That's the one

9:09 PM

Looks like a configuration issue. Can you provide a screenshot of the following screens in OBS under Setting:

Output (in Advanced Mode)
Video

(edited)

My recommendation would be to stream at 720p60 at 6,000kbps

9:13 PM

Or 1080p30 at 6,000kbps

9:14 PM

720p60 will look better

Hmmm sure that would be no problem, what would be better, rescale output, or output scaled resolution?

Scale your output on the Video tab

alright, what would be better, bicubicbor lanczos? I've tried both and honestly haven't noticed a difference

Bicubic is fine for 85%+ of use cases

Hmmm alright, anything else I could add to this?

No, I'd try that and see how it looks on Twitch

Is streaming and playing from the same laptop feasible? When I use Streamlabs, I have a insane CPU usage on my task manager... Any way to improve it so it doesn't bog down my gameplay? Or is a new computer my only option?

Well Steamlabs is bloatware anyway

10:57 PM

OBS studio is a much more optimized application. However, it all depends on your power.

Jahlon

OBS studio is a much more optimized application. However, it all depends on your power.

Thanks, I'll look at OBS and see how it performs, otherwise I may be SOL

Doughy101

Thanks, I'll look at OBS and see how it performs, otherwise I may be SOL

Yeah, use straight OBS or OBS.Live if you want some extra plug-ins. SLOBS is a horribly optimized software that murders your CPU resources. You may be able to play/stream from your laptop depending on hardware specs, but SLOBS isn't doing you any favors

Aside from that, Streamlabs is a terrible company and steals open-source work to profit off of. Just FWIW.

Hi guys, I started using the SoundAlerts extension and saw that sound with channel points are limited to 5, but I just put 6 sound and there seems to be no limit because its written 6/5. what does this mean? is it broken?

Canello

Hi guys, I started using the SoundAlerts extension and saw that sound with channel points are limited to 5, but I just put 6 sound and there seems to be no limit because its written 6/5. what does this mean? is it broken?

I’ll try to look into this later tonight.

I use OBS, and wonder if anyone can help me figure out why I have lag spikes. In fact, at one point in the last stream https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1259814453 it dropped connection entirely and reconnected several times, resulting in several videos. It’s a brand new laptop, no programs downloaded that aren’t to help with the stream, and OBS says the cpu doesn’t run above ten percent.

@DannyMiii Can you provide a screenshot of your stream graph at https://inspector.twitch.tv, as well as screenshots of the Output and Video tabs in OBS please? (edited)

Will do!

I did some tests in OBS to see whether I should put my noise suppression filter before or after the compressor, and I think it sounds best with 2 noise suppression filters, one before and one after. Is there any reason I shouldn't do this?

@Deleted User Other than extra processing, no. If it sounds good and it doesn't choke your machine, proceed with satisfaction.

could someone help me set up with OBS a really easy way to implement a 5 min countdown that can be easily reset and started when I want to. Also I would like to be able to display a number besides that count down and being able to add 1 everytime the timer is reset. example: Round 1, 5 min countdown. when it is over, I reset it and it says round 2 5 min, and then I press start and the countdown starts, etc. After 3 or 5 rounds I would like to be able to reset the number to 1. thanks in advance.

Is there a go to standard advice for stream lighting? More conference call type streaming than hip gaming guy. I just need to mount some lights behind above / behind my monitors. Would like to stay under $200 and not a harsh color temp. If this is the wrong spot please let me know where to ask.

@CarlDoesStuff Look at the Key Light Air. I have two and they are amazing.

Someone to help me set up my stream I have a ryzen 5 5600x 16gb ram a 1660ti trying to stream apex at 1080p 60fps but play the game at 1080p 144fps getting a lot of rendering lag

Hi I think this is the right chat channel,I'm looking for a fairly priced capture card for switch streams

@Kiryu So what settings are you using?

8:01 PM

@Domo Capture cards really are you get what you pay for.

Jahlon

@Kiryu So what settings are you using?

I just got a cheap gaming pc from Craigslist list so im going to make it a stream pc. I already have a hd60 pro

8:04 PM

How does a 2 pc stream work coming from a 1 pc

So 1 PC is the PC that has OBS on it. Its the streaming PC. It has the capture card as the IN. The other PC is the gaming PC. It OUTs to the Streaming PC

Kiryu

Someone to help me set up my stream I have a ryzen 5 5600x 16gb ram a 1660ti trying to stream apex at 1080p 60fps but play the game at 1080p 144fps getting a lot of rendering lag

Make sure you are running OBS as admin. To show settings, take and post a screenshot of your video output settings in OBS in Advanced mode. Trying to push 1080p60 while also gaming at 144fps is taxing on a single system and rendering lag means the computer is struggling to keep up with both gaming and rendering your stream. Your specs are at the low to mid end for a single system and you would be better off gaming at 1080p144 or even 1080p120, and then streaming at 720p60 or 900p60. 1080p streaming really needs a beefy setup to run on a single system and can be overkill just starting out, but posting your OBS settings can help dial in good quality.

Hello guys, I'm having some trouble using OBS and stream elements. I can't seem to get Game Display to work, it just shows a black screen. I'm currently streaming a duplicate of whatevers on my monitor to get around this for now. Also no matter what I try, I can't get anything but the chat window to appear from stream elements.

I technically needs a couple free college books

Scribd.com?

1:51 AM

I pretty much lived off a Scribd account in college

1:51 AM

My favorite thing to do is use Google to search of answers to test questions. College professors hardly ever make their own exams.

1:52 AM

just throw "site:scribd.com" at the end of your search term and be amazed. Your textbooks are probably there in excerpts, if not in their entirety.

TenderSausage

I'm using a 2 PC setup right now and a problem I am experiencing is that I don't hear the streamlabs alerts for follows and whatnot because my headphones are plugged in to my gaming PC. What is the typical way that people deal with this?

2:38 AM

The solution I am considering right now is to disable the sound for streamlabs alerts in obs and open the streamlabs alerts url in a browser tab on my gaming pc so that the sound goes through my headphones (and also gets sent to the streaming pc)

You can use virtual cables,

I'm not familiar with that, but if you are talking about the software called Virtual Audio Cable, it sounds like that is just used to route audio from one application to another. I don't see how that would help me here.

2:52 AM

Do you mean I should connect the line-out on my streaming pc to the line-in on my gaming pc and use that software to route the streamlabs alerts from obs to my gaming pc?

Virtual cables can be routed over network protocols as well

3:13 AM

With a minimal amount of latency, you send audio from your stream PC back to your game PC.

3:13 AM

You could also do the same with a physical cable and monitor the input, as you described (edited)

3:18 AM

I like to use VBAN, personally: https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/vban.htm

Hellooo!! Has anyone had issues with OBS not showing your game capture?

Yep, many times.

6:53 PM

Some games don't play well with the Game Capture mode. There are some hooks that you can change that might get it to work, but you may need to use Display Capture for some games/programs.

D: ok ok thanks

im not quite sure how to word this so i apologize, but when i am using my elgato HD60 S and i am using it to capture my gamecube, why do my cam and my gifs automatically down res? when i edit scene in game capture hd my gif and cam are crystal clear, but once i save the scene they down res to look kinda bad, i thought maybe it was because i have my stream set to 720, but i dont think it would hurt my stuff thid bad in streamlabs my cam looks great in 720.

also why wont it let me change categories on game capture hd? its just blank and unclickable

Just a quick question. I would like to hear my ps5 and Pc audio at the same time through one set of wireless logitech headphones. how can this be made possible? would a go xlr mini help this?

@DudleyDanger Can you send an example, maybe a VOD link or something?

@Valzion You can monitor both your PC Audio and your Capture Card Audio through OBS

@TenderSausage after streaming last night it would appear it is because my GameCube is rendering at 480 my game capture software is trying to fit everything in a more square frame and down resing everything to fit if you look at my Metroid fusion vid on my twitch you can see what I’m talking about it looks nothing like that on my stream preview at least aspect ratio wise. https://twitch.tv/dudleydanger

@DudleyDanger What webcam are you using?

It’s a J5 create 1080 webcam

8:19 PM

If you look at my other streams it looks fine through stream labs just real bad with game capture

That looks like pixel compression to me. Game capture is shoving all 1080p worth of pixels in that little area and it's creating visual artifacts.

Do you know anyway to force it back to 16:9 for everything minus the game itself?

It's not the aspect ratio that's causing an issue, it's the amount of pixels from the webcam

So lower my cams resolution?

That's one solution; Less pixels to render.

I see

8:28 PM

I know this is a hyper specific problem but hey that what you get for frankensteining a GameCube for streaming

I'll need to reinstall Game Capture to remember what the options are

Righto

Also after streaming a while through my hd60s my picture in my steam freezes but not my audio and it doesn’t show it’s frozen through my capture software so I’ve been watching my own stream to know when it happens you can see that right at the end of my Metroid Fusion stream.

8:36 PM

I wanna say that’s an overheating issue

Have you looked at your stream graph at https://inspector.twitch.tv yet?

Nah lemme check that

8:38 PM

I didn’t even know there was an inspector

you wwwant a screen cap of the inspector?

9:55 PM

im actually just gonna try and transfer everything over to streamlabs cuz im not getting the cam issues. and im hoping the video freezing was an overheating issue and i have addressed that ill see how it goes on todays stream

Hey guys does anyone know a way to get a NightBot command to have an image show up on stream?

for the most part it would appear that just using streamlabs is a vast improvement for what i was doing

1

Hey guys I was wondering how can I mute a sound only for the stream? For example a Pay per view event that I will be watching, I dont want the sound to be streamed live, but if I mute it in Windows I wont be able to hear it, however if I mute Desktop Audio in OBS, my alerts wont be heard during the stream.

I dunno if it's possible but - I stream from through my Xbox cos I only have a Chromebook. I was wondering is there anyway I can include everyone's audio that is in my party, regardless of platform? Currently on my stream you can only hear me & whoever is in my Xbox party. I play with pc and playstation players to and it would be a better experience for any viewers if they could hear everyone. Hope that makes sense.

5:13 PM

Hii someone can help me with the following? I was trying to do a livestream today. OBS does not work, neither does Twich studio. Therefore, I used Xplit, and I thought this one would work. However, the stream apparently was very laggy and bad. Anyone can help me? The foto's attached show the result of my speedtest, brandwith test and twitch Inspector!

5:13 PM

Thank you so so much

bellanxs.

ty ❤️ def gonna check that out since OBS game capture still doesnt work..

Did you try setting a hotkey to focus game window?

5:54 PM

Open your game, then hit that hotkey

@LIL🍭 Can you explain what you mean by OBS and Twitch Studio don't work? Could you send a link to a previous stream?

TenderSausage

@LIL🍭 Can you explain what you mean by OBS and Twitch Studio don't work? Could you send a link to a previous stream?

Well, if I used those two I got this outcome from Twitch Inspector

6:34 PM

However, I increaded my bitrate on Xsplit

6:34 PM

And run a test stream, which seems to work now! Let's hope for the best

I would say the OBS graph looks like some serious settings adjustments are needed. you can't really fit 60 frames of anything into under 1500kbps

Hmm, so this is also about the bitrate?

6:40 PM

I think in this case I should increase the bitrate to 4000 right?

It depends on what your computer is capable of

6:41 PM

What is your CPU and GPU?

6:43 PM

In most cases, if you're going to run 720p60, you'll want to run at least 6000kbps, which is Twitch's maximum

6:44 PM

Technically, you need about 7900kbps to get the best quality, but Twitch won't allow that.

6:44 PM

hmm okay!

Not all computers are capable of running a AAA game with a fully loaded stream encoder at the same time, which is why I asked about the CPU and GPU.

6:46 PM

I could recommend some settings

6:47 PM

The type of content you stream can also affect the bitrate

6:47 PM

Low motion requires lower bandwidth

My GPU is this one NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

6:50 PM

and my CPU is the following: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.59 GHz

Your computer can handle 6000kbps. If you start to experience game performance issues, lower it to 5500kbps and see how that goes.

okay!! thank you so much

Hello, hopefully this is a proper place to ask my question! I'm trying to set up a stream layout with multiple quest webcams for a social game night with friends. In the past when having multiple quests I have just had the discord video call window open (where you can see everyone's video at the same time) and captured it into OBS. Now I would like everyone's video feeds to be separate so I can place them in different places on the screen. One way of doing it would naturally be having the same discord window open and just capture the window X amount of times into OBS and cropping every feed (X being the amount of quests). This would work just fine, if the amount of quests would be the same for the whole stream, but that will most likely NOT be the case and the amount of quests will probably vary between 1 and 6 along the stream. The problem with this method is, that in Discord the video feeds are scaled and arranged differently depending on the amount of participants. So every time someone joins or leaves, I will have to re-crop and rescale every window capture I have in OBS. Is there a way to change it so Discord won't change the scaling/arranging of the video screens when a new participant enters or leaves? Probably not possible to have every participant popped out to their own window? Or does anyone know another video call app, which doesn't change the layout according to the amount of people? As far as I know, for example Zoom works the same way as Discord. (edited)

Now I would like everyone's video feeds to be separate so I can place them in different places on the screen. One way of doing it would naturally be having the same discord window open and just capture the window X amount of times into OBS and cropping every feed (X being the amount of quests). This would work just fine, if the amount of quests would be the same for the whole stream, but that will most likely NOT be the case and the amount of quests will probably vary between 1 and 6 along the stream. The problem with this method is, that in Discord the video feeds are scaled and arranged differently depending on the amount of participants. So every time someone joins or leaves, I will have to re-crop and rescale every window capture I have in OBS. Is there a way to change it so Discord won't change the scaling/arranging of the video screens when a new participant enters or leaves? Probably not possible to have every participant popped out to their own window? Or does anyone know another video call app, which doesn't change the layout according to the amount of people? As far as I know, for example Zoom works the same way as Discord. (edited)

I believe MS Teams has a plugin that will allow you to pass streams through to OBS. IIRC, it allows for "Active speaker" automatically.

Hello everyone. I have some issue with OBS where there is a "source" on my Audio Mixer tab that doesn't seem to correspond to anything on my actual Sources tab. I'm trying to delete it but can't figure out how to, I can only "disable" it. Thank you in advance!

turns out, one of the sources I have is a scene that contained the thing I wanted to delete- if that made sense. haha

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the right channel for this, but I have a question. Is there any other way that I can test out a TTS that I setup from isaiahcreati's Channel Point Bot, other than doing it when I'm live? It keeps on giving the "You can only redeem this reward during a stream" message. Thank you in advance! ❤️

Hello, anyone using Elgato 4k Utility? In my scenario I need to use Elgato Sound something to correct that Utility because otherwise there is no game/system sound in recordings but that is also taking away a spot for my micropohone to be recorded

The best GPU you can buy will be the best one.

Your budget is the limiting factor. How much are you willing to spend? (edited)

under 1.5k if possible!
