Streaming QuakeLive in Fullscreen (38 comments)

( Forum: QL)

Posted by defi @ 20:16 CST, 12 November 2011 - iMsg

Asked to post this up in a thread; just a way of getting Quakelive to work fullscreen in xsplit using the program "Shiftwindow". Made a quick video if people want to give it a try, noticed my sounds out but its the same without shiftwindow atm (maybe just a bug Ive picked up), so if anyone would like to confirm. Seems to require 2 monitors so you can use the program to find quake while its fullscreen (doesnt register in window mode).

video:

Shiftwindow steps used:
-Ticked "Window Title" and Grab Quakelive once fullscreen.
-Set to monitor needed so above co-ordinates are right (might work with mon select but didnt a few for me)
-Enable "co-ordinates shift" and grab "Quakelive"
-Hit Trigger

xsplit caps at 100fps, was only 25 in that vid. Just had a mess around and the sound works fine now

It would be cool to see some live streams from the players. Probaly one of my favourite things about sc2 at least is the live streaming.
Hope some players get it going.

<< Comment #6 @ 04:05 CST, 13 November 2011 >>

I did experiment a bit.

The monitor in which you play must be monitor 2. If I set it as monitor 1, xsplit either crashes as soon as I switch to fullscreen, or gives an error while launching.

in_mouse should be set to 1. If you set it to 2, the cursor is forced at the left margin of the app, and if you rotate left and click you remove focus from ql.

I haven't tried play online yet, but I guess this is a bandwidth killer.

edit: ah yes, sound works.

I'll try this later when I've got time. I thought about using Sizer to lower the entire window by 1px, but never got around to it. I'll see how this works later :)

How about the item timer? Is that the bind one or the one from a place where you'd get in trouble for naming it? (at least anywhere where id is reading lol)

No, I was referring to the timer that was visible in-game when you picked up quad. I've got a hud on a toggle/vstr that switches the practice timer's visibility (although I never use it xD)

What is the hardware and bandwidth requirements to stream in full HD?

<< Comment #13 @ 15:37 CST, 14 November 2011 >>

By

thecoupe - Reply to #11

I couldn't find any hardware requirements but for bandwith Justin.TV says for HD you have to have at least 600kb/s up with H.264 encoding or 700kb/s with VP6.

any particular reason for playing whit 1921*1081?

<< Comment #17 @ 22:12 CST, 14 November 2011 >>

By

pikaluva13 - Reply to #14

That's so the screen can record it in fullscreen. He's actually playing in 1920x1080 (you can see it in the video)

<< Comment #21 @ 14:16 CST, 15 November 2011 >>

It doesn't work for me. I think it's a problem with my laptop though as I've never been able to show anything via screen recorder in fullscreen.

this actually works pretty great. thanks OP.

works with fmle/vhscrcap/shift window with no "huge" fps hit. only thing is you have to set your dual monitors to the same resolution beforehand (if you don't have identical dual monitors). also works for q3.

wish i had better internets otherwise i'd stream ql/cpm whenever i played :<

got it to watchable/playable. it's pretty low res but looks ok when i watched the vod of it on my 1080p monitor. 384x240 @ 750br 15fps (i only have 1mb upload, plz forgive)

ill be streaming #uscpmpickup games whenever i play now. twitch.tv/rushzor

i have 2 different monitors. one 120hz crt the other one some old lg flatron tft. when i start ql it wont go fullscreen. what am i doing wrong?

<< Comment #38 @ 14:07 CST, 24 January 2012 >>

By

0x5f3759df - Reply to #37

make sure that they're both set to the resolution you want to stream in. so make your crt @ whatever res @ 120hz, with your lcd at the same res, but whatever refresh. basically, you're running ql in a borderless window that gets shifted to your monitor that the game is being played on.

i hope that makes sense, PM if you have any troubles.

work with xsplit + shift. Im trying to get 1080p to work, but I think it takes a insane amount of bitrate. Still lagging when set to 8000bits

If you are a twitch.tv partner and have a change resolution-button, sure, but I bet not many of the QL streamers will have that unfortunately. Not many people can watch a stream that requires you to have a 5000kbit download-rate just for the stream.
The bitrate difference between 720p and 1080p are just not "cost-effective" enough.

<< Comment #28 @ 14:56 CST, 5 January 2012 >>

I don't get it. I've watched streams tons of time in full-screen. OR, since I've never streamed before and am ignorant, were all these streams actually windowed mode just made bigger? idk. but this new program is sort of like 'real' fullscreen?

when I stream (720p 30fps) I use windowmode and 1280x720 resolution for QL. so the resolution I'm capturing is the same as the one I'm broadcasting. any upscaling is from when you watch the stream in fullscreen.

since I don't see the point in 1080p resolution for ql streams (rather have 60fps stable) I'd rather use windowmode anyways.
