Exact way to stream with FME to JTV - READ HERE

[Nghtmr9999]

ruXxar, regarding your stream quality, your upload speed might be your bottleneck. However, I watched some of the stream from the link and it didn't look half bad. Your computer should be able to handle the stream, so I'd recommend lowering your datarate a tad and see if that makes things better for you.

I just got everything working.. except for having skype running at the same time as im streaming..

Anyone else solved that issue and can tell me how you solved it? Some link to some guide or something would be very helpful since im completly lost in this atm : (

By having Skype running, I assume you mean having voice chat and game audio at the same time? If so, I believe you'll need a mixer. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of these, so someone else would have to help you =/

Depends alot on what you're trying to broadcast as well as what type of OS you're using. Windows 7 is a multimedia OS which almost makes using an external mixer useless. It has it's own mixing capabilities. Make sure you have a good mic and there's a few prompts that you have to check off in your recordable devices.

I've been trying to get this running for quite some time though I just recently got a new connection which I've been waiting for to see if it works.

Specs:
Dual Core 3.2 Ghz
Gforce 8800 GT
2x2GB Ram
Windows 7 (32)

Speedtest:


I should be able to stream HD, right? Though I prefer a smooth/lagless stream over incredibly high quality. I've been tinkering around for quite a while but it never gets over 13 FPS and for some reason I can't seem to be capable of changing the output. It always streams at 1920x1080 it looks like.

Here are my current settings:



I also had some trouble with the audio at the beginning but reinstalling the drivers gave me back stereo mixer and now I'm using audiorepeater if I want to get everything on stream.

cd "D:\Spiele\[] Stream\Flash Media Encoder 2.5"

Which results in this and has started giving me the error in the 2nd cmd:


This certainly doesn't look like 1280x720 as I put it in the xml either but if I can stream in 1920x1080 that probably shouldn't matter:
Justin.tv - zerebreat - Broadcasting LIVE on Justin.tv


Judging by previous posts I guess I should go with a datarate of 4000 because of the spikes which can hit twice as much? Trying that didn't change anything and gave me that error for the first time though it happens on all datarates now.

I also had some friends in TS look at the stream and it felt choppy most of the time and while streaming I couldn't really understand them most of the time because they lagged for me while my upstream in the cmd showed only ~1000kbps.

Sat Apr 02 2011 18:27:49 : The profile selected is not a vaild XML file (Yes it says "vaild" not "valid" in the command box)

Sat Apr 02 2011 18:27:49 : Closing Application

It seems as if though the program is starting up but closing due to an invalid xml file? is this correct? Also I should point out that I DID save the XML file in "Unicode" Format.

I have run out of suggestions to try to get it to work and I would really love to get this to work if anyone could please help me out!

Sorry I had to type out most of these things, I took screenshots but couldnt find a way to resize the images to fit to the limit of the attachment so i was limited and had to improvise.

Thank you for any responses I would love to fix this!!

[Nghtmr9999]

Is it a true XML file? By that, does it have a .xml extension, and not a .xml.txt extension?

[dimensionzero]

Yes, Nightmr. It's a true .xml file. i changed its extension and verified it.

[dimensionzero]

Also, another way to verify that it's a true xml file is that the icon is completely changed. Same with the .bat file

[Nghtmr9999]

Hmm... Is your .bat file NOT saved as Unicode?
