| − | [http://twitch.tv Twitch.tv] Streaming Integration is currently in Beta. Streaming on twitch.tv is free to get started, sign up first at http://www.twitch.tv/signup
| + | '''UPDATE:''' No special ISBoxer configuration is needed for Twitch Streaming. |
| | | | |
| − | == Known Issues ==
| + | Our Twitch.tv bot recognizes streams with ISBoxer or Multiboxing in the Stream title, and our web site will begin listing streams matching that, provided the streamer has registered with our site. |
| − | * Twitch SDK feature: The video encoder is h.264 from the Intel Media SDK. This is currently the only encoding option available with the Twitch SDK. It's not the best quality, but it works pretty well.
| + | |
| − | * Twitch SDK feature: Audio capture includes all audio sources on your PC -- including microphone. To prevent microphone capture, Mute your microphone or disable it in Windows
| + | |
| − | * Twitch SDK issue: True 1080p resolution (1920x1080) is not currently supported by the Twitch SDK, because 1080 is not evenly divisible by 16. Use 1920x1072 or 1920x1088 instead to work around this issue.
| + | |
| − | * ISXTwitch Feature: Capture is currently synced with a specific game instance of your choosing. When the game FPS is low (e.g. during loading screens for some games), capture will also be that slow.
| + | |
| − | * ISXTwitch Bug: The game instance running ISXTwitch may crash when closing
| + | |
| − | * Not yet implemented: The Twitch login window does not currently include support for Tab to switch to password entry, or for Enter to log in. For now you must actually click.
| + | |
| − | * Not yet implemented: Desktop Capture check box is not currently functional, and is always checked (no other capture method at this time). This is sufficient to record all game instances including [[Video FX]].
| + | |
| − | * Not yet implemented: Previously used stream configuration settings do not yet save
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | == Installation == | + | == See Also == |
| − | Download and install to your Inner Space folder (should be selected by default by the installer)
| + | * [[Twitch Action]] |
| − | * Full install, including Twitch SDK dependencies: '''Come to [http://isboxer.com/chat ISBoxer Chat Room] and ask Lax for beta download''' | + | * [[Open Broadcaster Software Integration]] |
| − | * ISXTwitch Update only (smaller, no dependencies): '''Come to [http://isboxer.com/chat ISBoxer Chat Room] and ask Lax for beta download''' | + | * [http://isboxer.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=53 ISBoxer.com Twitch Streaming forum] |

| − | == Usage after install == | + | |
| − | (Note: In a future version, this sequence may be eliminated and integrated with ISBoxer)
| + | |
| − | # Configure an In-game Inner Space console Hotkey in your ISBoxer Character Set
| + | |
| − | # In game, in the game instance you want to control streaming from (and capture to sync with), open the in-game Inner Space console with your Hotkey
| + | |
| − | # Type in "run twitch" with no quotes and press enter
| + | |
| − | # A Twitch login window will pop up. Enter your twitch.tv username and password and click "Log in"
| + | |
| − | # After logging in, a stream configuration window will pop up, with default options that may not be as you desire:
| + | |
| − | #* Capture Cursor is enabled by default
| + | |
| − | #* Audio Capture is enabled by default (includes microphone)
| + | |
| − | #* Source Left (X), Top (Y), Width and Height boxes default to your primary monitor
| + | |
| − | #* Output Width and Height defaults to 1280x720 (720p). These values must be evenly divisible by 16, but otherwise most sane resolutions should work (as limited by Twitch)
| + | |
| − | #* Target FPS defaults to 15
| + | |
| − | #* Max Kbps (Maximum Bitrate) defaults to 1500. Raise this value to improve quality (or lower to decrease). Limited by your network upstream bandwidth
| + | |
| − | #* Adaptive Bitrate defaults to OFF (unchecked). When checked, the encoder will attempt to improve quality in the case where frames are being captured at a slower rate than the Target FPS
| + | |
| − | #* CPU Usage defaults to Low, but may also be set to Medium or High
| + | |
| − | # After configuring the options, click "Start Streaming" to begin streaming to Twitch.tv!
| + | |
| − | # During streaming, a small window with Pause and Stop buttons is visible. Click Stop to stop streaming and return to either the Configuration or Login screen
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Tips ==
| + | |
| − | * Video encoding takes plenty of CPU time. It is recommended to adjust your CPU usage for the Slot you'll be streaming from, to use all of your available CPU cores. To do so, select your Character Set in the top left pane, then the Slot number in the bottom left pane. In the bottom right pane, click the "Performance" tab, and make sure each of your CPU cores are highlighted.
