Sounds like the routing is messed up. You will need to go into the setup menu and route source 1 to input 1, and so fourth.

[Craig Seeman] “Packet loss can be a problem. Always should be 0%”
How do I check for that?
[Craig Seeman] “What was new, the slides? Size and source codec might have been the problem impacting the transitions.”
Yes the process of having the slides on Wirecast and not external was new last night. I was thinking that when Wirecast is receiving a single SDI input from a switcher, the signal received would be at a constant bit-rate. but switching from a still to live is causing a massive bit-rate fluctuation, and something can’t handle it?

[Craig Seeman] “I’m just plan not happy with New Livestream.”
Amen to that brother!!!
I have gone to bat for Wirecast several times with Livestream sales now, and I have flat out told them that I will continue to use Wirecast as part of my workflow so they had better figure out how to make it work!
The issue I am running into however, is that my clients want to upgrade from an ad-supported channel to a premium channel, but we cannot justify spending $350 a month for occasional streaming. “New” Livestream has a $50 package that seems perfect for most of my clients.

That would certainly work. Even Wirecast’s External Display Output can work if you have HDMI out and can patch the computer’s audio out separately.”Working in broadcast, I am very particular about lip-sync, I would think that solution would throw sync way off?

Thanks Craig, I am going to tweak the output settings and see what happens.
This is a flypack unit, so what I meant by bandwidth issues, is that when we do have a location with bandwidth issues, it is usually the video that stutters but the audio remains intact. Speedtest showed well over 10 MB up last night, so I highly doubt bandwidth was the issue.
This is the first time that I have seen the entire stream “fall apart” like that on the return feed. Hopefully a tweak to the output will clear this up.

I’m running the newest version 4 on a pretty decent machine (off the top of my head)it has i7, 12 GB, RAM, a 1GB video card. CPU usage is under 30% when streaming. I am doing everything at 720p, maybe I should scale down what I am sending to Livestream?
Normally when I show PP slides, I bring them through a switcher which feeds a single SDI to the Wirecast machine. This is the first time I tried importing slides into Wirecast. Even then, usually when we have bandwidth issues, the audio remains solid, but the image may degrade for a short period.
During our testing it worked fine, but I think that was because we were switching between the slides and a static image on camera. Once we introduced the motion from the speaker, that’s when I had issues.
What would your initial suspicions be? I am thinking it is the 720p image being sent to a free Livestream account limited to 500k.?

P.S. I am starting a separate thread regarding the use of New Livestream I would love your opinion on.

It’s safe to assume they will “go rogue” and even if you are 100% sure they are unarmed, your “Bigfoot” may get a beating or worse from this group of I can only assume experienced hunters. It’s a funny concept, but I can see this going south REALLY fast!

Hmmm… Sorry sounds like you have a bigger issue then. Maybe the drive wasn’t seated or something along those lines? Gary would be the one to figure this one out.

Hi Ryan. I typically experience about a 10 – 20% failure rate with corrupt files on the Ki-Pro. The good news is, that most of the time the file will still play on the Ki-Pro. Just hook it up to a machine with an SDI capture card, and you can recover the file that way.

Thanks Mike! That was the link I was looking for…

AH-HA (Lightbulb goes off) So we aren’t going YouTube to Hangout, it is Hangout to YouTube using Wirecast and Virtual Camera…
Oh thank you Wise, Wirecast Guru!
