Ustream tip

[coxie]

Dont know if this is the best place for this admin if not feel free to move it

If you are watching a stream via ustream and it jumps and lags a bit try clicking on menu and adjusting the buffer slide to 3,4 or 5 that usually makes it less jumpy.

Thanks

The topic fits here well!

coxie wat settings u use on ustream wat % for the pic quality and that?

[coxie]

i use about 70% to 75% for pic and about 13 for sound and 12fbs

[uggla]

i use setting close to that when i get 10 meg will play around with higher settings

my streams look really poor on ustream, but look brill on justin.tv (on justin choose best server for a brill picture)

[padaxes]

How do you choose the buffer settings and quality setting? Pressing menu just changes the screen size for me. Right clicking gives me small flash player menu adn cannot find those settings on there.

[uggla]

they have changed the player doesnt seem the options are there anymore

[coxie]

which makes this thread totally useless , feel free to delete it admin or supermod

I try to stream with my FME on ustream but always i have problem on the picture and i have only 3-4 viewers. I don't think ustream is so good

[uggla]

i seen ustream with 10,000+ viewers in very good quality if 3 can view everyone can

doing a high bitrate stream using fme can hammer a slow cpu check your task manager see how much % your cpu is using if its close to 100% thats gonna be your problem

*WORK IN PROGRESS..*

TO GET THE OLD STYLE PLAYER

ustream.tv/swf/3/viewer.118.swf?embed=169483&loc=/&cid=USERID

EG. HDSPORTZ popout URL is:
ustream.tv/videoplayerpopup/channel/299067
so to get the old player it would be
http://www.ustream.tv/swf/3/viewer.1...c=/&cid=299067

[Admin]

@J-MC: does that run better then?

[J-MC]

I was hoping to test it but nothing seems to load. I'll keep trying though

edit: What I've learnt

old player is at
cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/3/
new is at
cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/

I managed to see a game after I entered the user ID into this URL.. and then reloaded it.. duno about performance tho
cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/3/viewer.110.swf?cid=USERID

[sassinapoli]

is there any direct rtmp url? for ustream?
Thx a lot.

I love Ustream, compared to the rest its brilliant. You can change so much, stream only video or audio and has so many fun features like poles and overlays. Only downside is viewership isn't as high as Justin.tv.

[uggla]

seen iraqgoals with over 8,000 streaming in high quality that isnt possible on justin would buffer too much

How come sometimes when broadcasting all i get is a black screen. any ideas?

hello, i got some problem with ustream.tv

today i wanted to watch Bayern:Karlsruhe (football game) on ustream.tv

but it lagged so badly that it was unwatchable. every 5 seconds it stopped playing for some time (long than it actually plays)
and this wasnt the first time. i dont remember the last time when ustream worked well for me. was some months ago i guess


is there any way to stop it?

what i noticed was: on the right of the window(where the chat is) it said a couple of times "connect, disconnect, reconnect" and something with "security blocked". but then the chat window appeared too


you guys can help me?

[uggla]

if the big 4 in the premier league are been streamed its gonna struggle due to viewers.

its a direct stream off a server not p2p
