Streaming for Shenmue

[Yama]

I'd like some honest opinions and input. I've had a PVR for a while now and finally came across Open Broadcaster, an open source program for live streaming. I was using X-Split though it's pay service and convoluted nature really turned me off. I did some test streams via Open Broadcaster and they came out great. I just ordered a clip mic so I could clearly present my voice while listening and even talking via my gaming headset seamlessly. I'm happy to have the hardware for leisure purposes, though with it all in place started to think of some bigger things I could do.

I was thinking of doing some scheduled broadcasts on a per disc basis, in order not to burn out and make it easier and more enjoyable for viewers. It'd also give it a chance to catch on. The great thing here is I have the PVR-1 which allows, composite, s-video and most of all component. I have the transcoder to go from VGA to component from my old set up (just posted it in another thread) thus the stream would be the official Dreamcast version running original GD-Rom discs in crystal clear fashion. There's something said for running the original software via the original hardware in an upgraded fashion versus emulation streams and I think many would appreciate it.

Just gaining interest here because like anything and everything in this community, it takes support from all ends. Presented in the right manner and promoted properly, this could be a great awareness event for our Tweetathon's, community and overall ambitions in general.

I support anything you guys do.

And stickers for vehicles also. #SaveShenmue and a logo of the game. No doubt, I'd get one.

It always depends at what time is going to be that streaming.

I could design a special presentation and even forward video calls on screen here and there with fellow fans during intermissions and such. I'd like to create a community stream of sorts, not just another lonely guy running through Yamanose aimlessly (as fun as it is).

I support anything you guys do.

Much appreciated.

As you said, and I will add that some sort of Google Hangout while streaming the game, would be very interesting to watch and engage in (even by comments), incorporating a live Shenmue discussion with some selected members on it. Surely, a promotion of our campaigning endeavours while, could only help and do good for the cause. But before, it must get as much of exposure so to attract potential viewers, and create a steady schedule, as much as approachable (according to various time zones) by all.

I configured the new mic, worked with syncing voice input to match the video delay and did some layout tweaks. Tested with a friend and optimized the mixer, all is working just fine.

I'd really like to do this and would ask everyone's support in making it a success. The first could be short and simple with What's Shenmue. Let me know who's willing to support by promoting and we'll start making this happen. I can make a five minute test video soon.

You should have a look at what this guy uses for extra stability:

Thank you. As always, I can count on you.

I can promote this in many Twitter accounts, in Facebook groups/pages and a blog. I would need to know the planned schedule though.

I'd be up for that! I've never actually played What's Shenmue myself, so it'd be a curiousity worth pursuing for me. Please make the time slot at the weekend and at a good time for us in other parts of the world.

[Stocke]

Really good idea. Name the time, and if I'm awake I'll definitely tune in.

[ShenSun]

Anything the Shenmue community does, I fully support.

Let's make this happen.
