Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 OK second attempt, immediately after my previous post I remembered it was Men's day at the haircut place and that I needed to go get my mop-head removed. Anyone up for some games now?
E3vE3 WAZ HEA Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) So I finally learned how to use my capture card I got for Christmas......who wants to help me test it out tomorrow with a couple of test matches? no it wont be streamed i don't know how to do that........yet Edited January 3, 2013 by E3vE3 WAZ HEA
Tiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I'm actually going to stream netplay matches, if anyone wants to join they're welcome too. Going to have it up and running in a bit, it's going to be called Training room Also Alter stage only please, this will actually be my first attempt. http://www.twitch.tv/maowerz# Stream page
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Also Alter stage only please, this will actually be my first attempt. Why....?
Tiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Why....? Apparently it reduces lagg more than other stages according to that other thread.
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Apparently it reduces lagg more than other stages according to that other thread. Oh, it's spelled "Altar" btw. I thought you meant "only choose a custom stage no custom bgms please" as in "don't alter the bgm, alter stage only" lol Also, looks like the stream has exploded.

I just restarted it sorry XD it was falling behind anyways
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 My friend's saying the stream is so laggy it's unwatchable :/ (choppiness)
Tiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Might be his net, since mines are watching it just fine ._. I'll try restarting the stream again with different settings Edited January 3, 2013 by Tiger
Tiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Why is everyone passing against me I was restarting the stream XD!!
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 tsk tsk get in here and get your ass handed to you in front of everyone watching mac.
Tiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Can someone give me a review on how the stream is going, I'm checking it here and there and don't see much of a lagg issue with it .__.
sinder Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 So I finally learned how to use my capture card I got for Christmas......who wants to help me test it out tomorrow with a couple of test matches? no it wont be streamed i don't know how to do that........yet i lol'd because this was ignored, yet there was another guy doing exactly what you're doing i wouldnt mind being one of your experiments Tiger your stream is fine btw
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 It's fine for me now, before it was really bad though, lots of hangs/loading freezes. Regarding how "realtime" it is I don't know. I don't watch the stream while playing cuz I hate people who do that lol I have a really nice capture card myself but I can't use it for streaming because I cannot play the game while using it. I'd have like 1/2 second of video delay which is 100x worse than network delay.

I was just checking it since you said it was unwatchable, but glad it got better, these matches are actually pretty fun even though I'm still terrible. Thinking of hosting Training Room streams on specific days since it's not really putting much strain on netplay

Thinking of hosting Training Room streams on specific days since it's not really putting much strain on netplay Well my friend still reports it as unwatchable, and he watches 1080p/720p streams like perpetually. What's the bit rate of the stream? Also, I feel like the asshole that's ruining everyone else's fun in this room >.>

Also, I feel like the asshole that's ruining everyone else's fun in this room >.> Not really XD I actually enjoy getting my ass beat by someone who's better so I been having a lot of run to be honest, in addition it's the entire propose of my training room hosting anyways. My friend and I are having fun though we keep getting paired up together And um saids video bit rate is 8106 Kbps?
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 And um saids video bit rate is 8106 Kbps? That seems really high to me. The internet seems to suggest that something around 2.5k is what you should aim for for 720p
Tiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 That seems really high to me. The internet seems to suggest that something around 2.5k is what you should aim for for 720p Sure I'll try it now, only doing a few more matches here before turning in. Didn't know it was too high XD
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Sure I'll try it now, only doing a few more matches here before turning in. Didn't know it was too high XD Here's a link that might be helpful: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=220584 Not too out of date I think. (They're talking about streaming Starcraft II so that's what "SC2" means all the time lol)
Tiger Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Alright I'll read it to improve future streaming then, thank you
Ctrlaltwtf Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Probably the single best thing you could do is reduce the frame rate on the capture device to 30fps instead of 60. BB runs at 60, but it's totally unnecessary to watch it at that frame rate on an internet stream. Especially seeing as the game uses sprite-based animation. I dunno if you already have it configured that way but doing that would literally cut your bandwidth usage in half. Quote from that link: Going above 25 FPS does not yield many benefits while taking additional CPU to encode.
