Hitbox can now do IRC as well. It's unofficial but written by someone who actually works there:

Ooh I was looking for info on this. Alongside this new nonsense, Twitch hosed up their IRC servers so I can't connect to that via HexChat either.

Clearly you should use my IRC client, but really I was having problems connecting yesterday, I just let it sit there and after a minute or two it connected.

Wow, that absolutely makes me sick. There's a lot of things I still want to watch, and a lot of things I want to be able to watch in the future, but I'm not some big company like, say, Twitch, who can afford to keep things on their servers...

On the risk of sounding stupid(good chance on that). Do you guys think this will be more of a reason to switch to Hitbox? Not talking about the big streamers twitch name but more about regular folk.

Roar posted:

Anything you really want to save forever and ever can be downloaded using this - it gets the flv files for you in super inconvenient 30 minute blocks but it's better than nothing.

For the record, you can combine those to a nice, full video without any skips or reencoding by creating a text file that looks like this:

code:
file 'live_user_username_1369179110.flv'
file 'live_user_username_1369180913.flv'
And then running ffmpeg with:

code:
ffmpeg -f concat -i temp.txt -c copy 	combined.mkv
Regarding saving streams in the future, you should always just record locally. Just check that "Save to File" checkbox in the OBS options and it'll automatically output the same thing it uploads to your HDD.

More on Twitch changes: Audio Recognition is coming for VOD (archived streams). I don't stream much so Ican't really comment, but this might make archiving streams now a bit more of a priority. Possibly why the Youtube backup is currently disabled?

Some funny things are happening with regards to this, like videos on their official channel being muted (see http://www.twitch.tv/twitch/b/548824097). Also there's this

Not to mention that the muted effect doesn't affect streams that are downloaded via the downloader link I put up earlier.

I get why they're doing it but this changes literally nothing for anyone with an ounce of technical sense.

\/ Oh I'm sure they'll fix the space bar thing at some point. Unless they're literally blocking out the audio from the source video, though, I can't imagine they can fix the downloaded version.

If they're serious about this, odds are they'll try to "fix" that as soon as they realise. If they are serious, well, the move's already caused some backlash (can't gauge how serious yet, way too early to tell beyond the nebulous announcement that, all of a sudden, Hitbox had a large influx of folks.)

I got into my car and ate my chalupa with a feeling of accomplishment.
Heard that the YouTube exporter desyncs stuff recorded on OBS, so I'm currently trying to save all my soon-to-be-purged VODs locally which is a huge pain in the butt. Anyone have some tips on how to make it go a bit more smoothly? I'm using nightdev to download them, FormatFactory to convert the FLVs to mp4 (which is happening at a glacial pace) and at the end I'm going to try and patch them together in premiere (and do some minor cuts/editing)

e: also to add insult to injury, one of the 30-minute chunks from an old past broadcast is missing. Is it gone forever?

What's the feeling on stream donations in general? I notice that some Twitch people do it, but I was informed "they're usually jerks".

I don't mean using SA or this thread or anything for plugging a donation stream, I just meant in the general case.

I couldn't care at all if you have a donation link on your stream or not, it's no different than having ads enabled on the let's plays on these forums.

If people can get an extra pizza from doing a half descent stream of whatever then I am totally fine with that.

Are you seriously asking me technical questions? We've done two streams together now and they've both been technical-issue trainwrecks. Anything more complicated than "push button to start" will usually need some elbow grease.

But I'm not talking about streaming, I'm talking about viewing. It may just be because of that whole jumping boat to hitbox thing but it was stuttering like crazy the whole time I was watching it:
