I'm gonna be gearing up for streaming this week. I have some questions about single monitor set ups. Like, if I'm just recording a specific window, what happens if I alt-tab to check the twitch chat? Would it keep piping the hypothetical content of that window to the stream, or would it cut out temporarily?
It seems like setting up an IRC client for twitch might be the way to go, since its pop out window is super finnicky, too, so thanks for that post above , Vifs.

Depends on your setup. If you use a direct hook to the game on OBS or Xsplit, it shouldn't capture anything else on the monitor since its linking directly into the DX9/11 engine for footage. If you use Window/Monitor capture, then yeah you end up with WYSIWIG.

As for setting up a good setup, I'd say stream at a resolution lower than what you'd usually want to, then drop your chat window underneath. With single-monitor setups, economy of space is important and you really don't need to be playing at barely-below fullscreen. This will also help offload stress on your computer.

Yeah, I'm planning to do the OBS direct hook. So you think I'd be better off just running in windowed mode at a resolution that lets me stick mIRC in a margin somewhere? Is there any downside to just alt-tabbing? If it just freezes the stream for 30 seconds while I glance at the chat, I'm not too worried about it. My monitor's not all that big, so I don't want to make my window smaller than it has to be :shobon:

Pretty much. Back before I got a 2nd monitor, I streamed everything while playing it at 720p just so I could economize space. I still do that to this day too since it frees up a lot of resources.


deadly_pudding posted:

I'll experiment with it this week. It looks like I can probably run in a 1600x900 window without losing too much, so I'll try that with an IRC window popped to the right. Thanks for helping me out.

That can work if you have a 1080p monitor, but you aren't going to be seeing much chat. If you're alright with that, then go for it.

Polsy went ahead and set up an auto-updating page to tell you if LP goons are streaming right now, check it out!

Also I set up some guidelines for posting your stream in the thread in the second post in case people weren't quite sure how to put it.

Oh hey that's really cool. Does it auto-update or do people need to refresh to see who's live or not?

Also, on the guidelines you say don't repost every hour, would it still be a faux pas to repost daily since that's effectively how often I stream? I ask because I've been putting archive links post-stream for a specific game I'm streaming.

That's fine, that's not what I mentioned that in the post for.
There were people who reposted the same single-running stream every 1 or 2 hours on the same day which is overkill and needless attention grabbing. It happened a lot in the previous thread too.

Ah thanks. I usually don't tend to plug a stream so often, but I'm really enjoying Odin Sphere and figure others might like it too.

Also, I don't think the link in the OP for IRC clients is working quite as intended. It links to the page where the post is rather than the post itself.
Toddy's on top of things. :p

So I'm thinking of making a proper banner for the Let's Stream thread, but I'm kinda having an inspirational dryspell. My general idea is a computer emitting wireless signals, but I'm not sure what color scheme to use or what size would be appropriate.

So far I have two actual ideas, but I can attempt any other ones if they're better:
-Computer shilouette with the retsuprae logo on the screen and the wifi signals.
-Dude sitting at a computer, computer has the wifi waves

Warmal posted:

Between those two ideas I say the first one is better. But instead of the retsupurae logo maybe go for something that makes it more about just streaming instead of them. Someone might think it's a Retsupurae stream thread if that's there. As for colour scheme I say just about any will work since "stream" doesn't exactly shout a single colour. I think a good detail to ad would be the end of the banner breaking off into pixels considering streaming is sometimes just not reliable or not the best quality on a given day.

haha, have it get more like pixel soup the further from the center you get. That'd be clever and feasible.

I guess the computer doesn't need an icon either, though it would seem a bit bare.
