Flash Media Encoder keeps disconnecting.

[LeijaT]

Hi all,

I've tried to set up FME for broadcasting since Procaster takes too much ressources and drops my ingame FPS to 30 or lower. (I usually got around 90 fps)

Messagelog from FME:

And it keeps on re-connecting.

I'm using the following FMS URL to stream:

rtmp://publish.livestream.com/mogulus/LeijaT/username=LeijaT/passwort=[mypassword]/isAutoLive=true

Any idea how to fix this?

LeijaT,

Looks like you are using an incorrect FMS URL. where it should say 'password' you have entered 'passwort'. Please change that 't' to a 'd'. In addition, free channels cannot broadcast at any bit rate above 500kbps with any encoding software except Procaster. As FMLE uses a variable bit rate, setting this to 500 may cause the bit rate to spike and drop your stream. To be safe, you should set your bit rate for 450 or 400 to see if that maintains the connection.
