Okay... Stream Fail. lol
15 years ago
I can't seem to broadcast for more than a few minutes. I'll try to fix it. Nobody really watched anyway. lol
If anyone could offer any help on setting up with Watch Tail that would be nice.
Here's more details on what's going on. My current settings are:
Recorder: ManyCam 2.4. I have the source set as desktop.
Camera: Microsoft Lifecam Cinima. I'm using the camera's mic as my sound recording device.
When I go to my stream page, I get the pop-up that asks for allowing Watch Tail to access my computer. I click allow. The local storage folder is set to unlimited in case that has anything to do with my broadcast time.
Privacy is set to allow.
After I press the broadcast button, it shows that I'm on the air and I'm about to talk to people in the chat window. But then shortly afterwards, the viewers tell me I froze up and when I try to reply to them in the chat window, my words don't go through. I can type in the text box, but as soon as I press enter, it doesn't send. However, Manycam is still recording and the player still shows that I'm on the air. If anyone can offer any help on how to remedy this, I would really appreciate it.

Step 2, run a speedtest to see if your running at a normal rate.http://www.speedtest.net/
Step 3, Make sure you have flash, shockwave, and java all up to date.
Step 4, try a different streaming site. Many are able to stream on one site with no problems but on other sites they have multitudes of issues. Theres Ustream, Livestream, Justin.tv stickam and other sites capable of streaming. If you intended for adult artwork, be sure to set livestream or justin.tv to the NC17 rating before broadcasting.
Do not use Livestream or Ustreams procaster, just use the basic default webbrowser version.
Step 5, make sure you uncheck any requests to record the stream.
Step 6, make sure that any unnecessary programs are closed. ie Torrents, games, etc.
You also might try resetting your modem and router (unplug the two for about 5-10min to refresh the connection)
You might try a version of Firefox called Palemoon, it doesn't have Firefox's memory leak issues.

And Takashiwolf was the one who was telling me about your streaming problem.
So I guess you would've never seen this either had Takashiwolf not said anything. Hah. Oh well. To be honest, I don't know why I'm stressing over this so much. It's not like people will watch anyway. But I'm thankful for the help anyway. Really, thanks. Hopefully I'll be able to get things up and running soon.
