Ok, so I've installed xsplit and set everything up according to some video guides I watched. However when I click within xsplit to broadcast to my twitch.tv channel, it doesn't work. It says in xsplit it's streaming but when I open a browser and go to my channel, there is nothing there. If I check in xsplit it says the bit rate is 12kbps so something is obviously wrong.

The only way I have figured out to get the streaming to work is to go to justin.tv and click "live" at the top right. However when I do that the streamed video is only of the top left corner of my screen so is useless. In fact, now that I just tried it again I can't even get that to work. I click "start" and it counts down 3, 2, 1 and then stops and asks me to enter a title. I do that and click ok and the it does the same thing again.

So I'm at a loss. There seems to be 3 seperate problems all happening which together prevent me from streaming which is a shame as I think it'd be fun to do it when I'm laddering in SC2. Can anyone help?

EDIT: you can see my channel here http://www.twitch.tv/beelzebro as you can see only the top left corner was recorded. I managed to get full screen recording if I turn the resolution waaaay down in xsplit but then the quality is unbearable and it's not worth doing.

EDIT 2: no idea if there's a better subforum than GD for this, couldn't think of one off the top of my head so I just stuck this here. Apologies if it'd be better off elsewhere
 
I've been using xsplit to stream for a while. If you want to log on to SC2 i can take you through the settings i'm using?

What internet connection are you on?

Sure yeah that'd be awesome - Beelzebro 296 I'm on right now

I've got a decent connection. 1.2Mbits upload speed which should be plenty I think?

Yeep that should be more than enough for a decent 720p stream.

Glad you're all sorted. Happy streaming! :D
 
Alex74 very kindly helped me out in SC2 chat and we got my stream working :). I had about 10 different problems to overcome today to finally get to this stage, so if anyone else is interested in starting streaming, or stumbles across this thread on google, feel free to trust me and I'll help if I can.
