Hello,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for this tuto, could not get it working with the others.
The only problem I meet is that the streaming is not covering the entire space on the movie.
(Look at one of my video if you didn't understand, as it's hard to explain : http://fr.justin.tv/arktal/b/280045280 )
Try placing a check mark on the (Resize to output size) box
ReplyDeleteI re-installed everything, went into the jtvgame.xml to change things and got this result : http://fr.justin.tv/arktal/b/280102922
ReplyDeleteBut still can't get rid of these bars =X
@Arktal the black bars on the top are normal for widescreen, look at my video http://justin.tv/lovtrain/b/280016371
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot :)
ReplyDeleteI've setup everything and the stream looks fine but everytime I start it there's some kind of stuttering in the game. The in-game FPS shows I'm running at 100 though so I absolutely cannot figure out what's causing it. Any ideas?
ReplyDelete@ArcTerran Check your upload speed (speedtest.net), make sure your not running a program in the background that might be utilizing to many resources.
ReplyDeleteMy CPU is always around 14% (on an i7-920) and my upload speed is around 7mbps. Even without streaming just having FME open causes this mouse lag/stuttering I'm talking about. I did find out that turning crossfire (2x 4980s) off helped a significant amount, but there's still some left. I'm thinking it might be an ATI problem but I don't know.
ReplyDelete@ArcTerran It sounds like a video card driver issue then, I had a similar issue when I started broadcasting where VHScrc would cause my screen to crash, you can try using the newer version of VHScr but it has a watermark on it =/
ReplyDeleteI love the detail, and it seemed a lot easier than other guides. One problem, when I double click the .bat file it does not bring anything up.
ReplyDelete@DavidHill76 - You should be getting a black screen showing the status of the stream, if the black screen pops up but disappears, you will need to double check your settings.
ReplyDeleteyeah it's not workin, but I found a way to get it to work using another guide.
ReplyDeleteHowever, now, whenever I try to broadcast, the aspect ratio is off, so I played with it til I got it right.
NOW, it won't keep a continuous stream. it will start, then immediately stop.

ReplyDeleteAfter completing all of these steps, and after runing the .bat file DOS opens and and the vh multi camera studio opens and NOTHING else happens.... \
ReplyDeleteedit:
OK so I have to close out the same window three times that keeps poping up and then the DOS runs some commands and closes out...
"Failed To Start Encoding"
ReplyDelete@Jeremy - If it fails to start encoding, try restarting the computer. This is an issue with the VhsCrap because its an older version.
ReplyDeleteHey, i've followed the tutorial to a T, But when i double click the .bat file, command prompt comes up and closes instantly, i managed to ss it, and it says " 'C:\Program' is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
ReplyDeleteUsing win7 btw.
