Hi,
So i stream PS4, recently i have tried to upgrade the stream by running my ps4 remote play through my macbook pro - then using obs window capture, i'd stream to twitch. this allows me to change scenes etc, which can add a bit of comedy and class to my streams instead of it just being me and a game.
i have pretty fast internet 30mb/s Down & 12mb/s Up
my macbook can handle ps4 remote play. Its pretty much perfect on the highest settings, no lag, no glitching.
trying obs open on its own it is smooth, i have a webcam and with chroma key set up and that is always totally fine. fps only really reaches 20 tops (but i thought this was due to my settings - i have been endlessly fiddling with them to try get the best stream output)
BUT - when i run them together, it all goes to shit. when i do, OBS doesn't run incredibly slow but the ps4 remote play starts lagging hard and skipping to a point where its unplayable. then, trying to stream it, the quality & fps drops to pretty much a slide show.
I have tried running remote play through 540p settings and lower & there is an improvement on fps, but not huge & the quality of the gameplay is really poor (i have facecam and that works perfectly on stream, no lag or quality issues) - i also used obs autowizard to try get the best settings to stream, but it doesnt seem to do a lot.
My macbook is kind of old now, but it runs PS, after effects & Illustrator relatively well, like i said, remote play works fine with it.
---- MY QUESTION IS ---- is my macbook pro just too old a crappy now? to stream in this way would i have to invest in a streaming pc/laptop? i'd like my stream to be high quality but through OBS so i can add a bit more entertainment to my stream.
is this not how does NickMercs does it? he streams ps4 but its perfect quality
Thankyou for reading, i know its long.
Any Assistance would be very appreciated!
