as long as you download it from the official website yes, it is
Avermedia works fine with OBS provided you use the proper settings aka Engine that allows it capture in OBS. I use the latest Avermedia card and its basically plug and play, keeping in mind this is only good for capturing consoles.
You most likely havent been live long enough (or you dont have a game selected on twitch)
you save what you have recorded by either local recording on OBS or by ticking the "Save Past Broadcast" option in your dashboard settings
and you go live by clicking the "Start Streaming" option in OBS
[quote=UbuntuJackson]I've googled and I've seen that the function for saving streams is supposed to be under the channel settings [/quote] it's under https://www.twitch.tv/YOURCHANNELNAME/dashboard/settings
[quote=UbuntuJackson]What is meant by "Add up to 3 communities"?[/quote] You can add something akin to tags to your stream, so it appears in it - makes finding streamers easier for those who're searching for similar stuff. Exmaple if you mainly stream Mario Kart, adding the mario kart community might net you more viewers that are interested in mario kart.
Just as a side note - there's a search function on the "Streams" section of SR.com that limits the search to streams with people playing games they already have a PB in. This filter is checked by default, so if you don't have a PB in that game, people won't see the stream, unless they specifically undo that filter.
Additionally, Twitch's game database doesn't necessarily break up various consoles into different games. Sometimes, the game won't show up because the Twitch game doesn't line up with the SR.com game name. For example, I was streaming Civilization for SNES yesterday. Twitch only has "Civilization" though, so Twitch only recognizes the MS-DOS Civilization page as the "Civilization." So even though I had a PB and all, my stream still wouldn't show up on SR.com. So sometimes that's the issue.

you can enforce it to be shown by adding the game's url short in brackets. for Civilization's that would be [Sid_Meiers_Civilization] that way, even tho the pages share their twitch game they can still be seperated on SRC
Not sure I understand ya there @European_Union
The MSDOS version's [Sid_Meiers_Civilization]
The SNES version's [Sid_Meiers_Civilization_SNES]
If I enter [Sid_Meiers_Civilization_SNES] as the game on Twitch, it still manages to connect to the MS-DOS page on SR.com. Which is fine, tbh, but since I don't have a PB in the MSDOS version, but only the SNES version, I'm not sure it would register me playing the SNES on the stream page of SR.com.
Lol, no easy way to talk about this simple terms.
@UbuntuJackson Should be a "Save Changes" button. Once you hit that, you can just leave the page and you are good.
I think you also have to mark something on your SR.com settings as well to allow your stream to show up on SR.com.
I just checked via api... @NihilistComedyHour it doesn't work because someone set up the SNES versions page inproperly. they added (SNES) to the twitch directory even tho twitch doesn't have that. tell the mod to drop the (SNES) from the twitch linking and it'll work.
/edit: just noticed you are the mod for that page... 🤔
after you dropped the (SNES) from the twitch linking, add the brackets to your stream's title and it'll pop up properly on src
so if your stream title would be "SUB 100 attempts!" then you just change it to "SUB 100 attempts! [Sid_Meiers_Civilization_SNES]"
You say "twitch directory" I assume you mean, the part of SR.com Edit Game that let's you change the SR.com URL, correct?
If you try to change it to [Sid_Meiers_Civilization], it automatically switches it to [sid_meiers_civilization]. I assume this is the case because each game page needs a unique URL?
yes, I mean the "Twitch Name" part of the edit game page. you have to use the same that twitch uses - so SRC can actually denote the game. since the MS-DOS & SNES version use the same twitch name you have to do the brackets in your title to tell SRC that you're streaming one, not the other.
AH, I'm so dumb. Now I gotcha perfectly. Thanks for the help there. And also sorry I temporarily hijacked your thread Jackson.
