Exact way to stream with FME to JTV - READ HERE

[gira]

I seemed to have fixed my bitrate issue. It streams at whatever i set it to now except for my fps. Running lots of things or running nothing at all and just streaming the desktop my fps is 13. I have VHScrCap set to 60 and FME set to 30. If any extra information is needed to help solve my problem please ask, i really want to fix this.

gira, i'm not sure if you specified, but are you using FME 2.5 or 3.x? And are you running the adobe FME program or running it via command line?

Also, Tim mentioned this a couple of posts up, but the AMD processors don't quite have the computing power as an Intel CPUs. Something to keep in mind.

I'm using 2.5 right now. I tried 3.1 last night and it seemed to stream at a higher fps with same settings as i had when using 2.5 but would max out all four cores. I use command line btw. Using 2.5 none of the cores ever just stay 100%. One goes up around 80% and the other around 50% so it seems like I have cpu power to spare with 2.5 command line so if my cpu not being powerful enough is the issue wouldn't it just max all cores to try and make the fps better?

EDIT: After messing around taking the resize but leaving the cropping in the xml file and changing bitrate to 800 im getting 28-30fps. Stream looks awesome when im standing still ingame but gets pretty blurry while moving which is probably because of the high resolution at only 800 bitrate. Only problem i have now is dropped frames. Im sure viewers could look past a some blurriness but the dropped frames make look choopy. Anything to help with that?

My monitor is 16:9, 1600x900... But I will do what you said

Oh, so it is. I should've said a resolution not supported by FME.

Ren, did you try running the batch file as the administrator? Your issue might involve write-protection on the folder you are running FME from

[Renjiken]

I just tried that, what i noticed is the avg bit rate starts high and keeps dropping till i get the error error

I think FME 2.5 is broken now.. Even i cannot stream anymore. it was weird. Just 2 nights ago i was able to. I didnt change any settings or anything at all.

My stream works just fine with 2.5.
