The Streaming Thread

[Khatovar]

Khatovar Update August 2014 -

With WoD coming, I expect this thread is going to pick up again. By this point, most people should have found their way to the ISBoxer Streams (http://isboxer.com/multiboxing/streams) or the Dual-boxing.com Commons (http://www.dual-boxing.com/commons/streams). If you're going to be streaming, you are best off adding yourself to one or both of those. If you're looking for streams, those should be your first stop.

It's still perfectly ok to announce your streams here, but please be sure to include your stream's URL and broadcast time - I'll still come in and do housekeeping on the dead posts. New posts here remind me to come in and do that. :)

At this point the thread may be more useful for minor streaming help since that's the direction the thread goes when you take out all the "I'm live now! - edit offline" posts. By minor help, I mean little things like what services/programs, easy to answer questions and miscellaneous tips. Please do not post entire guides in this thread! They deserve their own thread, so write it up and you can link it here.

MiRai Edit:
For those using XSplit, this is a handy guide:

Here's a handy list of multiboxing streams (out of the ones I have added to a list to check), filtered to only streams that are currently live:
http://www.dual-boxing.com/commons/streams

I need to find a good spot to put a link + number of live streams or something on the front page.

Yeah, I didn't want to step on that project because I didn't know if it was ready. And I know there's probably people out there that stream so infrequently {like me} that requesting addition to the current Streaming section seems kind of wasteful.

I figured a temporary thread in the interim for just general announcements until that's good to go would bridge the gap nicely. :)

[kate]

On a redundant note, anyone know how I can add my stream to the automatic shows who's streaming deal, or is that no longer working?

Edit: And streaming my druid team in about 5 minutes, probably until about 10 PM central.

[drarkan]

Might I make a suggestion, Use Twitch, I checked out UStream and it is a ripoff. Twitch saves your vids after you streamed so you can get viewers check out your past streams later on. I opted for the Personal license of XSplit Broadcaster and its totally worth the money. Used it in beta and worth the full cost of use.

I will give Twitch a looksee - thanks!

Edit: Twitch seems ok, but the Xsplit tool they push seems really slow, doesn't seem to save the channel information so I have to reconfigure it every time, and since the trial version is gimped in many ways (or is it? I can't tell because the FAQ on the xsplit site is useless) it doesn't look worth the price. If I can find a free tool for streaming my desktop live I'll try that, but for now I'll stick with what works.

[Ualaa]

I used the Xsplit Broadcaster in the beta and liked it a lot.
I went with the professional version, as it wasn't that much more than the personal version.
As far as features go, personal and professional were about the same.

These are the settings I'm using: http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/46141-Streaming-with-XSplit-Broadcaster

Eh, I stopped using Xsplit and went with the good old VH many cam driver. Free and it works very well. I simply will not, ever, not even once, buy software where they gimp the free version so that I can't properly test it; for all I know the problems I had with Xsplit would not be solved by the full version. I don't mind a timed trial and am certainly willing to pay for good tools, but I need to actually be able to test them myself first.

So my set-up now is VH many cam, Adobe Flash live media encoder, and then it just goes directly to twitch. This seems a LOT faster than the Xsplit tool and also has the virtue of working properly etc.

I am also trying to find a good pugin for Wordpress that lets me show when my stream is on and when it isn't but so far it doesn't look like any such thing exists for Twitch, whereas with ustream it does. I'm sure there's a workaround but I need to sort it out.

Edit: I managed to sort it out. I used the embed code from the twitch tv site combined with a widget that would let me run code and now my blog displays the stream automagically. Yay for a totally free (albeit slightly complicated to find initially) set-up that saves videos, lets me stream easily, etc!

[Ellay]

Will be streaming nightly from 9 to 11 pm est. Let's do eeeet.

Edit: probably want a link..

twitch.tv/AelliTV
(http://twitch.tv/AelliTV)

[Ellay]

Streaming now :) If anyone can come in and tell me if the quality is decent. Learning the ropes of the streaming.

[Fat Tire]

Quality is only ok.

When you are stationary its fine but when you move its minecraft. No idea what you have your bit rate set at, you might try 3k. Quality is generally detemined by your upload speed, 5+ mps at least, more is better.

Also might want to play around with your webcam and try an angle either left or right side.

Only watched for a few, best of luck!

[MiRai]

Fat Tire's right, I was watching while you were pretty much standing still an answering those questions and then I left to start dinner. Now that you're in an instance and there's lots of action going on it's definitely showing stutter and pixels.

If you're using XSplit, I added a guide to the first post in this thread that should help you get the most out of your setup while streaming.

[Ellay]

Awesome thanks guys, will wrap this stream up tonight soon then do these fixin's.

[Ualaa]

I'm using:


Enable Game Source

Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97 FPS

Preset: Very Fast
Quality: 10
Max Bitrate: 2300 (kbps)
Buffer: 4792
Audio: 44,100 16-bit Stereo, AAC LC, 96,000 Bitrate.

I'm not saving the video, so don't really care about the compression, hence only 'Very Fast' on the Preset; I'd also like to 10-box without changing settings, so the relatively low CPU usage is great.
I've had the best results with a buffer twice that of the total Bit Rate.

Chances are, I could go with higher settings...
But the quality is great (all of my game text, or my iTunes playlist, is legible while streaming).
And having several torrents going, doesn't impact my stream.

For reference, I box with an i7, 3930K (OC @4.5GHz), 32GB 1600MHz CL8 Ram, GeForce 670 GTX 4GB, OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD x2 (in Raid 0).
My internet is: Shaw Broadband 250 (250Mbps Download, 15Mbps Upload).



I have three main scenes.

The first is the primary monitor only.
The second is the primary monitor, plus the slave regions along the bottom (scaled down)... as if I were boxing with all regions displayed and on one monitor; to be able to scale the slave windows down, I had to use screen region capture rather than game source for the Slave Windows.
The third is a non-broadcast screen, in my case the WHMIS sheet for the Element: Woman.

I generally run with Scene 1.
But do regularly get requests for the "boxing" view.

[Ellay]

Thanks for the information as well Ualaa and thank you everyone to tuned in last night :) it was fun. I modified some settings on my xsplit and it should be even more smooth now, excited to stream again but it won't be until probably Monday :( but from then on. It's on!

[Ellay]

As promised... back to streaming nightly starting tonight in roughly 90 minutes. Not sure if I should make another thread for this so I don't spam up other peoples things.
The quality should be much improved and I am tinkering on the idea of building a new PC if it is warranted.

[heyaz]

so that's what happens... it warned me not to re-enable aero as windows overlap or this or that
I thought it was a performance thing but I saw no difference

[katielynn]

yep i found that out from watching my stream on my other computer. also is i possible to not have to post when u stream since if im home im streaming? i feel like i may flood the forum if i keep posting when i stream.

also 52 yay and streaming again. http://www.twitch.tv/katielynnomg

edit:
maybe first page we have a list of all the stream links and there about online times. or a system to check if there live.

As listed on the first page of the thread, Lax has a Streaming Section set up in The Commons. Anyone who wants to stream on a regular basis should probably contact him about getting added.

[Owltoid]

Not sure if I should keep posting this every day, but I'm now streaming. Probably will for most of the day. The first few hours may have some configuration time as I refine my rogues, but mostly just doing PvP. Come by and say hello! If there is interest we can join Skype so everyone can chat. www.twitch.tv/owltoid

Well you didn't last long, what happened? I heard you were showing SSN's IP Addresses and all sorts of other personal information per some of the viewers that you had in the channel while streaming that did post what you did all over the web, and an admin came and shut you down last night? Clearly something isn't right...

Greeting,

with the arrival of WoW Classic, I became interested in multiboxing.
I created recently my Twitch and Youtube Channel to share content with my various teams.

Merging this thread with the streaming thread, since the only thing being shared are URL links to where your videos are.
