general

this is what I use, I can go higher than 6k without issue

but 6k seems the most balanced when I reencode down for the other resolution options

i have an nvidia gpu

but i dont have the option for that

dropdown at the top

simple/advanced

yeah

you have to stop the stream

to change it

also FYI, OBS is a little weird, it'll pretend it changes options somtimes while you're live, but will just be lying to you

yeah

For software encoding, simple options work fine, but for some reason the Nvidia encoder has really weird default settings

keyframes being 1 is the big thing

preset/profile matter less

found it

very top

haha

i thought it was a diffrent drop down you were talking about

do you have h.265?

or are you like me, rocking an older GTX card

i have a gtx 1070

yeah, no fancy encoder for either of us

1060

ope

so did i do something wrong

or am i good

anyway, change that 0 to a 1

keyframe interval

okay

that's the only setting that matters

tells the server to time the frames, instead of trying to dynamically adjust

my stream is black and white now

ah

nice

lol

other than the double audio (which is hard to avoid when you're testing)

now you muted all the audio

you klutz

in OBS, if you're capturing a window, rather than a region

you can split that audio off from your desktop audio

lol

yeah

how do i split

are you doing window capture?

i am captureing a window

yes

oh

i see

nvm

I'm not sure what OBS looks like by default now, but I have cool sliders at the bottom

nvm

still double

i have only the window providing audio

but still double

hmm... yeah, I see what you mean

you on W10?

yup

ah

if you open up your sound panel, what audio options do you have?

or whatever it looks like on 10

we got it

alright, nice

does we got it mean you fixed it?

i thought

but if i mute obs i get no audio at all

now I think you just muted your audio again anyway, this is just Windows being terrible at audio channels your two options are to use a virtual channel or to use the "browser" feature in OBS

gonna try browser

I'm looking to see if any of the other OBS options let you split audio

I thought for sure window capture did, I remember it doing that at least

audio seemed like it was working for a second

yeah

still was double

i think i got it if i can figure out how to swap what source firefox uses
