Mogulus streaming.

[Thulos]

Ok I started playing around with Mogulus streaming tonight. I've got it mostly figured out and am using, VHScrCap, Adobe Flash Media Encoder and Mogolus. The one thing I can't figure out is how to force it to only display the wow window. in the VHScrCap Config I select the wow window for capture but it still captures whatever is the foreground window. Although this isn't horrible because I can start recording and flip back to wow and only show another window briefly, I was wondering if there is a way to force VHScrCap to only capture the wow window.

My stream site is http://www.mogulus.com/thulos

I have one av recorded and on loop and am playing around with recording others.

Also, I see ellay records his ventrilo as well as his live wow session. I'd like to figure out how to stream my microphone input as well as the default sound window, so that I can narrate and stuff.

Typoed it, sorry fixed.

I tried this with Flash Media Encoder and VHScrCap, but the flickering was way too bad for me to be interested in. I'm assuming that's because it's dropping frames on the way to the server. Any way to combat that aside from upgrading internet connection?

I didn't have this problem running 640x480 stream which was taking about 256kb up. I did have the problem of it causing extra wow lag having Mogulus studio up. For some reason the browser with the studio was eating a lot of cpu while the actual encoding software wasn't doing as bad of a job. If I closed the browser it would keep my stream running and all my wow lag went away. I'm out of town right now but I did bring my boxing setup. Thank god i'm visiting gamers. ROFL. Working on getting my 5 setup up and running with a different second comp (laptop).

I fixed the problem on mine, had to switch to windowed mode was all. Now it works flawlessly, never any flicker. Also, I have the studio running on my browsing laptop, so I don't have to worry about it slowing my main system down. Check it out http://mogulus.com/teamteht

I couldn't help myself setting up Mogulus after I've seen your stream.
Thanks for the helpfull info.

Now to improve the quality and get the adobe thingy going decently,
it connects, it starts streaming, but mogulus acts like there's no stream and just keeps an empty que.

I can get it to work with just the VHScrCap capping it directly into my mogulus browser,
but from what i've understood it's better for quality and fps to use the adobe thingy.

Without a doubt, the Adobe media encoder helps. Helpful hint - make sure you're running version 1.5.0 of VHScrCap. I get far better performance with it, I think because of the MultiCam app included with the most recent version.

I downloaded VHSScrCap 2 days ago and already played with the multicam thing,
so i'm sure that's not a problem

Can't wait to get back home and toy around with it some more.
(In between brd boss attempts naturally )

Oh, it works, but I couldn't get it to work as well as the 1.5.0 VHScrCap-only version. With multicam, I was getting frame drops and freezes in the live feed even at 10fps and 200kbps. After switching over to 1.5.0, I'm getting smooth running with no freezes at 20fps. Keep in mind this is at 640x480 rez. I haven't gone higher cause I think people can see the action pretty clearly, and my priority is a smooth picture, not a high-rez one.

Another hint - don't minimize adobe media encoder! I get a VERY noticeable quality/framerate decrease if I minimize it, but it's smooth as glass if I just leave it up and bring the WoW window to the front on top of it. Probably has something to do with changing processor allotment.
