I used most of the settings from the<a title=\"Twtich OBS Page\" href=\"http:\/\/help.twitch.tv\/customer\/portal\/articles\/1262922-open-broadcaster-software\"> twitch page<\/a>, which is out of date a bit.\u00a0 Only I kept getting a black screen in the preview. And then when I tried to switch back to ShadowPlay, I also got a black screen. You have to shut one down to use the other, I think.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Anyway, I ran a bit on <a title=\"CMorrigu on Twtich.tv\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/cmorrigu\">my own channel <\/a>just to make sure nothing was broken, and ended up with a <a title=\"Shaalaanaa Character Overview Low Res\" href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/hwECILdKol4\">silent character overview vid at low res.<\/a>\u00a0 For some reason, ShadowPlay was set to stream in 480p instead of 720p.\u00a0 I ended up re-recording a <a title=\"Shaalaanaa Character Overview\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/cmorrigu\/c\/5432274\">similar video in the higher resolution<\/a>, which did quite a but for readability of items, etc.\u00a0 Later, I finally got OBS working with <a title=\"Dungeons &amp; Dragons Online\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ddo.com\">DDO<\/a> in windowed mode, according to the stream preview.\u00a0 Just before going live, I tried speaking and that didn&#8217;t work.\u00a0 Not unusual, for some reason on my 8.1 laptop, I have sound issues like that fairly often.\u00a0 It took a minute or two, then it seemed to be working, so I went live.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I had 2 laptops, a TV, and a tablet all involved so I could keep track of things. Aside from those setup annoyances and having to run windowed, it went well technically.\u00a0 I will probably look into overlays and other fun stuff for OBS in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t have much of a plan, so I did a short hello then started running a daily epic series. <a title=\"Druid's Deep\" href=\"http:\/\/ddowiki.com\/page\/The_Druid%27s_Deep\">Druid&#8217;s chain<\/a>, <a title=\"Don't Drink the Water\" href=\"http:\/\/ddowiki.com\/page\/Don%27t_Drink_the_Water\">DDtW<\/a>, <a title=\"Partycrashers\" href=\"http:\/\/ddowiki.com\/page\/Partycrashers\">Partycrashers<\/a>, and <a title=\"Devil Assault\" href=\"http:\/\/ddowiki.com\/page\/Devil_Assault_%28quest%29\">Devil Assault<\/a>.\u00a0 This kept the action going on screen while I did some commentary and background. I figured it might take some time for people to tune in, with it being the first week, <a title=\"Time Zones\" href=\"http:\/\/www.timeanddate.com\/worldclock\/\">time zones<\/a>, and so forth.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><a title=\"Cordovan Profile\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ddo.com\/forums\/showthread.php\/450463-We-re-looking-for-livestreamers-to-join-our-Community-Stream-Team!\">Cordovan<\/a> made a couple comments in chat, so I knew it was all working.\u00a0 There was a comment or two from random viewers, but not much traffic at first.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>From there, it took off a bit. Chatters grouped up with me in game, I joined a few groups running quests I wanted to play, and chat picked up. It worked itself out pretty well.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The most frequent question was which server. <a title=\"Thelanis\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ddo.com\/forums\/forumdisplay.php\/10-Thelanis\">Thelanis<\/a>. I&#8217;ll have to see about getting that put somewhere prominent.\u00a0 There were some other questions about build, gear, quests, chat commands, etc.\u00a0 I think I should make an email address for those, and advertise it so as to have some in stock to start out the stream with.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I won&#8217;t always be on the same character, but it will be on Thelanis. I gave an overview of my top 3 most played characters on stream.\u00a0 Depend on schedules, my SO might be joining me next time. This first go was too hectic to give up a machine for, I think it will be fine next time.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I did look up some forum threads, so I have more topics for discussion if chat doesn&#8217;t prompt. And I tried to watch <a title=\"Cordovan's DDO Livestream Wed 2014-11-05\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yauqReo_R-0\">Cordovan&#8217;s stream earlier today<\/a> for new topics as well, though I was mobile and didn&#8217;t catch it all.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Thank you to Cordovan for the <a title=\"DDO Streamers thread\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ddo.com\/forums\/showthread.php\/450463-We-re-looking-for-livestreamers-to-join-our-Community-Stream-Team!\">opportunity<\/a>, and the community for the support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DDOStream 2014-11-04 CMorrigu I had planned on using ShadowPlay, which is what I had been using for all my recordings and streams.\u00a0 Unfortunately, when I started preparing I\u00a0 realized that there was no option for a different stream key.\u00a0 So I had to give myself a crash course in OBS instead.
