How to Stream on Twitch.tv
Posted: July 27th, 2012, 9:05 pmOPTION 1: XSplit
1) If you haven't already make an account on Twitch.tv: http://www.twitch.tv
2) Download and Install XSplit: http://www.xsplit.com/download/
3) Set up your Twitch account on XSplit
Click Broadcast -> Add Channel -> Add Justin/Twitchtv
Then enter your username and password or your stream key which is found here: http://www.twitch.tv/broadcast and press OK
4) Set up your Screen Region
Click File -> Add Screen Region. Then click and drag to match the size of the haxball pitch.
Then on XSplit where you see the sreen which is being output you may need to drag your screen region so that it fills the whole screen.
5) Click broadcast and then your stream name and your hosting
Make a few test streams of some pub games or something and post here so we can see who has the best stream. If anyone has any problems lemme know and I'll try to help.
OPTION 2: OBS
1) If you got Twitch already or know how to stream to Feed Me (otherwise see step 1 of option 1)
Download and install OBS from here: http://obsproject.com/download
(Use this to get an estimate of what ya should put settings on: http://obsproject.com/estimator
Then again haxball's doesnt need high quality stream just solid encoding settings.
2) Load it up, go to settings and then broadcast settings.
Now head to your Twitch.tv dashboard and click the Streaming Apps link in the upper right. Hit “Show Key” and copy your unique stream key into Open Broadcaster’s “Play Path/Stream Key” field. Also put the dashboard link in so you can access dashboard quickly.
3) You should play around with encoding settings to be honest, I don't even know what settings r goat tier yet.
Video settings don't matter at all so don't worry.
Audio is audio you know what to do.
Advanced doesn't really apply but you can play around with it if you want.
Exit outta settings.
4) Now to set-up a screen region you want to go to global sources, add>>add window capture, name it nigga joe's haxball window or something.
At the top you want it to the haxball window, if not there click on drop down or maybe load haxball up genius.
Use inner window not entire window.
Leave everything except sub-region which you should click on.
I have position 410, 278 and size 843, 409. Put these in and then click on select region and put it to size of haxball field. Go ok.
On section that says Sources right click>>add>>global source>>whatever you named your window.
5) Preview stream and see where its all at, if it needs moving around just use edit scene to move it around or right click on source and use properties>>screen region and position/size to center it etc.
Mix settings etc
