Streaming With Twitch.tv

Hey guys,

Just wondering if I could get some help for setting up streaming for twitch. I'm trying to use Open Broadcaster Software, but any game I open up in the program just shows a black screen.

Thanks all!

You need to use the games plugin to stream fullscreen games. This is the kind of thing a quick google search can answer very quickly, because I had the same issues. I also stream with OBS.

One of my actual sources is black and not showing up

Are you trying to stream a fullscreen game? You'll need to hook into it using the 'Game Capture' source in OBS. As well, OpenGL games like Minecraft have issues with Window Capture and you'll need to use Monitor Capture to show them. If desktop capture is showing up as black, it indicates that you either need to update windows or update DirectX.

I just today downloaded OBS and started playing around with it.

How I managed to fix it is by right-clicking under "Sources" -> Add -> Game Capture.

Booted the game up and went back to OBS to check Sources -> Game Capture -> Properties -> Application - if that was correct.

Preview mode worked as soon as I went back into the game.

Not sure if that will work for you.

Quick question, not to hijack the thread: We allowed to make videos/stream about the new version of the mod?

Well first of all we have no legal authority to ask you not to do so, That all lies with 343i. Regardless, we encourage everyone to record and stream the mod. If you do well and link us to it it may get shown on our Facebook page!

I believe we are, but I could be wrong. They were posting streams of it before on facebook. It's a general release so I dont see why not.
