How To Cast.

Casting is fairly simple. What Iv'e used is either FME+SCFH or just xsplit. I prefer xsplit since its easier so ill give the tutorial through that.
1) Download xsplit here
2) There will be some rectangular buttons at the bottom left corner, chose the first one, then add a camera or screen region.
3) Add your JTV account, by clicking file, then saying add account or something along that line.
4) At the top row there will be a drop down that says broadcast, click it, then select JTV.

And BAM your casting. Just remember if you have your stream up at the same time to mute it, otherwise there will be extreme echoing. Hope this helped.

Here is the way to cast with Fme+scfh (the old way, the same that tom does it)

1) Download FME here
2) Download SCFH here
3) Unzip SCFH into a folder and take the one out that had the city image, and open.
4) Now open FME and you will get a thing in scfh that says something to do with fme. Double click on it to open it, then in Fme you will see something in the visual device, make sure that it is scfh.
5) Get your code thing off of JTV here. Then click config file.
6) After you get the file, make sure you know where it is. Then go to fme, then click file, open, then find the file that you got from the config, open it. Then save.
7) Now mess with the setting to see what works the best for you and your computer to limit lag, and manage quilty.
Now at the bottom click start, it will automatically go to your JTV and start to cast.
9) With scfh you can have select the area where you want to cast, with select area or something like that.
10) You will eventually learn more and how it works better.

Once again your casting. I dont recommend this way, since it takes more computer space than xsplit. But if you want to be like Tom use this way.

Thats great but how do i cast with game audio and my mic at the same time?

Depending on what your using, with xsplit it automatically picks up your game, and if you have a mic it will pick that up to. With FME there are a few programs that are out there i cant think of one off the top of my head, but I still recommend xsplit.

The FME/SCFH way is, in my opinion, really easy to set up and understand. No matter which way you go, FME is going to eat at your CPU Usage, so if you don't have very much RAM, then I wouldn't suggest broadcasting until you have more. I run on 2x4GB sticks of RAM and it's tough on my computer, but it's manageable.

As for the steps, I would put this in before step 7: Visit www.speedtest.net in order to view your download and upload speeds. This will help to determine what settings you should have for FME.

A good tip to use is to make it so that your kb/s needed in FME is half of what your upload speed is.
Ex: My upload speed is around 0.84Mb/s so I should be using around 500kb/s or so. However, I push it by having 700kb/s.

You can mess with it as you see fit until you have a good setting for your computer.

As for getting your game audio along with your mic through to FME, what I use is a program called VAC (Virtual Audio Cable). I had torrented it in order to not get the voice saying "Trial" every 3 seconds when I was using it.

I don't remember where I got the true version from, but if you look for it, I'm sure you can find it.

Even though you think that Fme is strait forward, you should try xsplit, it doesn't eat your ram, even though there aren't as many settings to fool around with , its basically fool proof. And I like it for if i play a game online my ping doesn't rocket up and i don't get kicked.

And i just wanted to post this, since i was 1 post away from thirty

Haha, you point dummy.

Anyway, the reason that a person would use FME is to get the good quality streaming. Without it, such as just using JTV and some other program, your cast will look crappy. Although I cannot vouch for Xsplit since I've only used FME in combination with VHScreenCap or SCFH.

FME I find less ram eating on my computer and xsplit was unreliable for me

Well, if you thing xsplit looks bad check out my old casts.

I would much rather keep my eyes in my head rather then gouge them out of my head because of bad qaulity

Use xplit it takes both.

Derp

Yeah xsplit is free, and i think its a better way to cast. I used it a few times in my days. Just last month i casted minecraft. No one came -_-... So i think it has a better quality of any streaming items that are free on the market right now.

FME = my way of casting

Why has this turned into a war of which is better, i just posted this to show people how to cast

I dont know : P

Sorry, I meant it to be a showing of opinions of both methods, but then I got some back up. People can choose what they want.

but backup is a good thing

Xsplit is terrible compared to SCFH imo

Tom have you tested it out, since for me it works a stupid amount better. And dont put xplit in fme, you can cast strait from xsplit.

Yea when I cast I at most get three people I forget to watch chat and no mic set up they loose interest. I will be messing with xsplit this weekend. I just need to work on my mic settings so my wife cannot be heard in the background bitching at kids camping in blops. Oh yea also you can use scfh as a camera in xsplit.
