11849 and a short session streamed with more technical issues

Today I played for 17 minutes taking my total logged time to 766:44.

Today's technical issues were mainly that my PS3 needed a system update. I had intended just to play while I drank a cuppa, but once I'd gone to the effort of setting up for streaming, that I should actually do something (although I did consider a private practice session). I still have some new songs to download still.

I could do with some time to do a long session, and get some additional songs played I haven't played on bass before.

No stream or playing today

Major tech issues today. Yesterdays setup didn't work at all despite *nothing* having been changed.

Initially the video capture card wasn't getting the video feed, but it was getting the audio. So IT Crowd solution: turn it off and on again.

<reboot>

Now the video is working but not the audio.

Uninstall the mixer software

Install the latest mixer software (much newer).

<reboot>

Try getting the game audio through the audio box. Notice that the capture card was now getting the audio.

Everything back together the way it was supposed to be.

[looks at clock] And that's lunchtime over and gone.

11829 and a short session

I was wanting to try and get the mac to record the video, but it's being a pain. And after rebooting it's ignoring it's keyboard again!

This streaming session was plagued by problems. 

First off my main audio interface has stopped talking to the laptop, I've tried changing the USB lead and still... nothing. Something else broken that I can't afford to replace.

Then when I tried to start streaming, I was getting encoding errors from OBS. So I abandoned the first attempt to stream, closed down most of the applications, and started again. Yet again, nobody I know followed me, they've all got better things to do I guess. It's the same old story: when they need something I'm on the speed dial. If I want something, then tough: who are you. Why do I bother?
