Synopsis
Enter the stream server parameters in the main screen, than go to 'Stream quality' screen and enter the parameters you choose :
- Width and Height : size of the video that is transmitted ( different form the size you see on the screen )
- Framerate : framerate of the video stream
- Video quality : theora encoding quality ( 1 to 16 )
- Audio bitrate : the audio bitrate transmitted to the server ( usually 64/96/128/256 )
- Audio channels : the number of requested channels ( generally 2 : stereo, the mic is mono but output is stereo ).
- Audio rate : the audio rate of the recording ( usually 44100 ).
Finally, enter your stream metadata in the 'Meta Data' screen :
- Name : name of the stream
- Description : description of the stream
- Genre : genre
- More info : an url that describes more your project.
Then, click the 'Start' button and the stream should start.
Notes
On small android models, use a low value for the video size ( 160x128 ) as well as a low framerate ( 3 ).
In fact, here the trick is to launch a streaming and see how many frames you get per second, and then stop the stream and enter this value in the framerate and start again : this guarantees an optimal synchronisation of audio and video.
