So, I would very much like to be able to live stream on occasion as opposed to tinychat so I can stream movies while I work. However; every time I click on the LS client, it opens its little loading bar, them promptly crashes and defaults to the "send error report" page. What do I do to fix this? Yes I have googled it and the few things that did some up included some degree of coding...I promise you if I try this my computer will explode. I am computer dumb dumb here. I have uninstalled it, re-installed it...three times. I tried chrome and firefox, I restarted my computer after each install, closed all other running programs. ...I'm burnt...someone please help me. I have been coming back to this to fight with it for almost three months now...I give up doing it on my own.
Livestream limits the bandwidth of 3rd party broadcasting programs to 500 kbps, which I've discovered works fine for art at a decent resolution, since it doesn't move much, but not much good for movies or video.
I'd try out Furstream. Picarto is more polished, but Furstream is a smaller community, and since it's all furry work, you're more likely to be found by people interested in what you're doing. It does have its issues now and then, though, so I usually keep livestream as a backup.
I'd be happy to walk you through all the setup. It's not too complex, but it's good to know what sort of settings work best, since unlike livestream's software, there's some configuration required to get a good stream. The good news is that once it's done, all you have to do to start streaming again in the future is click a single button.
I open IE and start a stream like normal, then open your movie stream like netflix, then open ManyCam and set the input screen as your movie stream tab. Now open tinychat in Chrome, start another stream and pick ManyCam. You will have to mute the chrome's tinychat session or else you'll get bad feedback.
it's a bit complicated at first but makes sense once it's setup lol
It looks the same as Producer, but unlike Producer, I could actually get Procaster to run. :| I'm not sure if you can do split screen streaming unless if you have a second monitor, because that's really the only option I see for it (under Settings > Desktop > Start capture second monitor)
You have to go pro to allow more than 50 people into your stream though, or at least I think you do it's been a while since I checked xD and sometimes the audio isn't THE BEST but for the most part I really like using it, so hopefully that helps? @___@
