    Haha, fair point!

    Thanks Eon and Max :smile:

    I have messing about with streaming software etc today. Will try to do a first stream on or be Monday. I can't promise the content will be any good but will give it a try...

    I don't ever watch Twitch streams mate, though there are a bunch of reportedly good ones on Sky Poker already, & between them they stream most nights of the week.

    I have just Followed you on Twitter though, to help get the party started.

    Good to see you are still alive and well-you made a trip to Vegas very enjoyable.

    Really hope you have managed to quit smoking.

    Take care

    Phil

    Cheers Phil :smile:

    Hope you are well mate!

    The Twitch thing is proving difficult. I have a 4g wifi router as my home broadband because I live in the sticks. The stream just buffers constantly.

    Not sure what to do. Any tips welcome (apart from move house lol).

    There are a handful or regular pro streamers in the house tho.

    Evening Mark and welcome back to the Sky streets.

    The most significant factor for achieving a smooth stream is your internet upload speed. Anything less that 3mbps will probably be a complete non starter and ideally you'll need upward of 5mbps. 4g internet might be a stretch at a guess, but run a speed test to see what you're getting - upload speed is key.
  • markycashmarkycash Member Posts: 2,837


    How about 0.3mbps ?

    Looks like a non starter...

    Appreciate the help though folks! At least I know.

    *skulks away to the drawing board*

    This is my speed fwiw

    OBS resource heavy on PC so need a semi-decent machine, although @Shrimpy28 did manage on his potato before he upgraded. :)

    Hi Mark.
    Great to see you back posting, hope you and family are ok.
    May be time to ditch the dial -up and invest in broadband mate 😉.

    Haha Tom :smiley:

    I managed to mess around with things my end and get the upload speed to just under 3mbps.

    Have streamed a lot today to test it out. I didn't mention to anyone I was streaming though so not sure many saw it and not sure whether it worked lol

    I will stream a bit tomorrow evening and maybe someone can let me know if it is working well enough.

    Will give this streaming malarkey another go from around 7pm

    Username Marky_Crash and link should be here

    I didn't have Twitch set to save previous broadcasts so I can't view previous videos yet to see if the video quality is watchable. Hopefully it isn't a buffering mess due to my connection :smile:

    Appreciate any followers and feedback as I am totally new to this streaming stuff.

    I stopped by a couple of times last night and the audio was fine but the actual screen was frozen.
    Good luck tonight.

    @markycash - enjoyed your stream tonight Mark, hopefully many more to come. Well played on winning the £22BH - was quite a lengthy heads up battle so glad that you prevailed.
