New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Hi
Since my new girl tag has been up I have not been getting much traffic to my room. Since then I have upgraded my internet so I now have up to 20 download. I also read your guide on how to stream in hd720. So today I went out and purchased a new laptop. The Hp pav 15-ak 085na ( Google). It meets the full requirements sm ask for for hd720. So I set it up tonight. First I downloaded the smbroadcaster and set up my cn20 cam. It calibrated it to the settings of hd720 with the resolution correct but when I tried to stream it wasn't working and the bitrate went down to around 200. So then I decided to download the fmle encoder and first attached the hd720 preferred settings file and this didn't work so then downloaded the legacy high file and again my cam was all pixelated and there is still big delays from my cam to streamates site as I viewed my stream on the website. What am I doing wrong here. Why am I having these issues. And how do I successfully stream and in hd720
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Are you using an Ethernet cable to stream? How is your lighting?
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Yes and lighting fine. It's an issue with the bitrate and computer. Bitrate is going to like 200 or less. Getting crashing and pixelated image
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
When you say the Encoder didn't work what is it doing, is it giving you an error? Was exactly is it doing?
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
No it's streaming but the picture quality is awful and the bitrate is dropping really low. Just to check, to stream in hd720 what setting a should I have the encoder on and also is it possible with a c920

I don't use the SM broadcaster but quite a few ladies have posted on here that they had issues with it calibrating and bitrate dropping. Yes the Encoder works with the c920. Here are my settings....
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
I will try this again shortly and let you know the update. Brb
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
A lot of people spoke about turning off every program but the broadcaster and eliminating noise as much as possible while calibrating. This might help you - doing that allows me to stream in the absolute highest quality but it tends to put a bit of a strain on my computer so I typically try get it to calibrate to "high".
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
just tried those exact settings you had. Started off good. Good picture at around 1200 bitrate within a minute it dropped to 200 bitrate and became pixelated
what the hell is going on
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
In your OP you say your download is 20. What is your upload speed..?
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Down is 70 up is 20. Went live yesterday also
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
I had the new internet go live yesterday and I just did a speed test and it's showing 1.0 down and 0.2 up when I have paid to be upgraded to 70 down 20 up. I'm going to call them tomorrow. Is this the issue u think
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Sounds like your internet is having issues yes. I'd definitely call them. In the meantime try shutting down your modem/router and leave it off for a min. then back on and see if that may reset it to work properly.
The upload is the speed you need to pay attention to. My upload is 5 and I can run several sites in HD with no problem.
I have an i7 with 12 ram and even though the SMbroadcaster calibrates at very high quality, it doesn't give me as good or as clear a broadcast as the regular encoder at 720, so I've switched back. It worked at first but seems they changed something that makes it not work for me. The encoder works awesome for me though.
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Hmmm. Going to get onto my internet provider tomorrow asap. Hopefully this is the only issue causing my problems
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Yes, that's way too low for hd720 streaming! Do a few speed tests over the course of the evening and see if it changes a lot. Your provider might be terrible and drops your speeds frequently, or maybe you only get 70/20 every now and again at weird times when no one's on the internet. Either way, you need to contact your ISP and get it sorted out, because that's unacceptable.
Last time I upgraded my internet (I'm with Comcast), I had to spend a full day on the phone with customer service getting them to give me the speeds they promised. Thankfully, the rep was really nice and understood that I don't need 120 down, I really needed more speed up, so after a lot of trial and error, we got that to work.
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Hmm weird. So I just ran the speed test on my old laptop and it was 15 up 30
Down. New laptop is giving the 0.2 up and 1 down reading. How is this possible. The new laptop is a quad core i7

Hmmm Strange. Does sound like it's a problem with the laptop. Did you buy it new? Maybe contact the brand's support dept. if you did.
Honestly I'd be tempted to take it right back to the store and exchange it (maybe even choose a different brand or at least a different model in case it's a defective batch).
Would be faster than spending a lot of time trying to troubleshoot this one when you could exchange it and be online with a computer that works, making money.

Hi
I just tested it again this morning and it has gone back to its usual internet speed. Put on the encoder with the 1280 settings. Started streaming was getting an average of 1400 bitrate and 24 frames per second. Is that ok?? And enough for hd720
Also I'm still noticing a big lag from my stream to when I watch myself on streamate at least a 8-10 second delay in the stream?
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
On streamate, you can go under my reports to my ranking to see how how your bitrate etc is. It says that 750 or above is the best score for bitrate, and 29.97 or above is the best score for frames per second.
I'm not sure about the lag.
If you don't mind, let me know how this helps your placement and traffic. I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade my laptop. I'm not using the encoder or anything, and I checked and I'm on the 5th page, but sometimes I'm doing pretty well. For me I seem to have more luck in the late afternoon/evenings, but when I've worked during the day I don't get much traffic and it's mostly time wasters.

I'm with Laurie on taking the computer back. I know you said its working fine now but it would really suck if the computer started acting up after the return period expired. Personally I stay away from HP computers. I had one when I first started camming, the fan on it was so bad. When I recorded clips using my webcam I could hear the fan in the video, I also could hear it during camming. I swear it always sounded like it was about to blow up. I bought my niece a HP a few years ago(I wanted to get her a Sony but she was set on HP. I told her HP was kind of sucky but she didn't want to listen.) and the fan was still loud, after a short period of time the fan stopped working. After that I went with Sony and then Lenovo.
If your old computer can handle it try testing the encoder on that one, you'll probably need to use the lowest settings. If there isn't a lag then you know its your new computer. If there is still a lag then you know its your internet.
Re: New laptop so I can stream in hd720.... Issues help!!
Hi guys. I think it's down to my internet speed as last night when I tested it my internet speed was practically bill. Today I tested in am and it was much faster and I could stream in hd720. My new internet went live Thursday and they have said it will be dodgy for first ten days whilst they test the lines.
