    Default Probably a very dumb encoder question

    So, I have never used the encoder before, and decided that I might as well go ahead and try it out since it seems that I will be forced to do it soon anyway if I ever hope to make any money. But, and I am sure this is just me being completely retarded, how the hell does this damn thing work?! When I click "start my show" and get the little window with the code to copy, thats all I get. Where the hell is the actual encoder, how do I open this up to paste the copy into? I feel like screaming!!

    I'm not sure if I'm understanding you. Did you download Flash Media Encoder and is it running when you click start my show? If it is you just need to copy them into the windows on the left side that say FMS URL: and Stream: then hit the green start button at the bottom of the encoder.

    There is a tutorial on how to do it under the suport tab on your streamate model page.

    Hmm...I guess that I am not really certain how best to explain. I did download the encoder, and so now when I go to my page to start my show, that is what I see in the video window "External Encoder" in red letters on a black screen. When I click the green "Start My Show" button a different small window opens up that says "External Media Stream" with an FMS URL written in blue and a STREAM written in blue and a countdown clock that says I must stream in 120 seconds. I am supposed to click on the two things written in blue to copy them. But, copy them to where? I see nothing that looks like the encoder that is shown in the tutorial and no option that I am finding to "open" this encoder thing.

    What does the encoder look like when you have it open? Do you see your webcam?

    At the bottom of the encoder on the right hand side there should be a little arrow near where it says encoding options. Click that arrow to get the pane where you enter in the streaming adress.

    I don't know where the encoder IS. I can not find ANYTHING on my computer that is this encoder. I am sorry, I guess that I am unable to explain this well.

    Ok so you downloaded from the link in the encoder tutorial but you can't find it on your computer? Do you have a download folder that it could have gone in? Try searching your hard drive for 'flashmedialiveencoder'. I'm sorry if I'm not more helpful. If you still can't find it try downloading it again.

    DL it again and remeber the destination folder you choose when you save it. Then follow the guide on SM, and voila!
