White Lilly Services' HighQuality Streamer application for XLoveCam.com

White Lilly Services LOGO

White Lilly SERVICES is proud to present:

WLS HQ STREAMER for XLoveCam.com

Features pack:

  1. Properly uses Adobe® Flash Media Live Encoder 3 in order to capture and encode your video at the highest quality
  2. Let's you customize the output of your video, in that that you can choose the ouput video resolution and framerate, and the application automatically configures everything so that your stream to XLoveCam.com will be at the highest quality, as lons as your video camera evice is capable of sending high quality video
  3. Automatically monitors your model's activity, and the computer's performance during a "live" show, despite it being in the free or private chat, thus you, as studio administrator, will have an additional chance to know faster how to improve your studio's performance (you will better and faster understand when you will need computer upgrades, or how to discuss with your model in order to convince her to stay more or less time online on this website.
  4. More quality - less banwidth usage. This application encodes a 640x480 video with 20fps at a video bitrate of ~1200kbps. This is a gain for both you (as studio owner) and XLoveCam.com (as cam-site provider)
  5. The application is configured to start automatically when the computer starts. Also, after each live session ends, the application terminates itself, frees all the memory occupied and restarts, so you'll be fresh and ready for a new show on XLoveCam.com
  6. Currently the application takes almost 2-4 seconds to "re-boot". This is also good because this way your models will learn to avoid "stressing" XLoveCam.com site with fast "show / leave show" actions as they usually do in order to be back on the first page. You can figure out by yourself that this is also a "killer" for XLoveCam.com servers as well, and mostly because everytime a request for a show is received, on their side there's a lot of "work" on creating a new FMS stream session, etc... their server's usage might decrease with 1-2% only because of this "latent re-boot"
  7. No more BSOD errors! In 2 weeks of using this application on one computer, day by day, it happened only 2 times compared to the opposite, when the computers used to suffer 3 to even 10 BSOD crashes on a daily basis!

 

Click the link to download WLSHQStreamer.v2.2_release5.exe. This still remains our choice and keep it as the stable version until prezent day.

NEW!!! Click the link to download WLSHQStreamer.v2.2_release6.exe

If you want to test it, please contact us in order to receive a DEMO serial number, otherwise the application cannot be used.

 

Future planned features:

  1. Integrate the XLoveCam.com chat directly into this application, thus the model will use this applicaiton instead of using the browser
  2. Stop using Adobe's FMLE and give this application new power, such as a brand new custom encoder which will most probably stream in H.264 at a video bitrate of ~1500 kbps for a 640x480 video
  3. Make this application behave like a multiple-rtmp streamer, so that this single application will be used to stream on various sites simultaneously, using one encoder only
  4. Make this application support other cam-sites too
  5. ... ... ... do you have any feature-ideas?

(i will update this page with milestones and per-feature progress updates as time goes by...)


How does a "live session report" look like on our studio?

CHATLIVE Studio - report from WLS HQ Streamer application

Now, let us explain how you can understand this graphic:

  1. The green bars let you know how long was model's live session that started at the hour time that it belongs to (first bar for example represents a 8 minutes live session that started at 15:45, second bar a 7 minutes live session that started at 15:54, etc)
  2. The blue curve represents the mimimum CPU usage for each live session
  3. The light pink curve represents the average CPU usage that was used by Adobe's FMLE during that live session
  4. And finally, the red curve represents the maximum CPU usage reported for Adobe's FME


How does a model from our studio look like while we stream using this application? Take a look at the following image:

Can you "see" any pixelation?

Can you properly understand the body shapes / curves / etc?

Have something to comment about this? Please do let us know what you think about this application!

(updated info, dated 11 February, 2010)

I have personally made some more tests with this application, and I will post some screenshots too, but a bit later as I have to prepare them.

  1. Test results between WLS HQ Streamer and VerySoft's WebCamSplitter - the best results I've seen (yet)
  2. Test results between WLS HQ Streamer and Super WebCam - this cam splitter is NOT capable of sending a video feed larger than 320 x 240, but yet, the quality of the video it produces is better than the quality of other split software applications on the market. My application is somehow compatible with this splitter, but when you force it to stream at 640x480, it might not work. I will investigate this to see if I will find a suitable solution.
  3. Test results between WLS HQ Streamer and SplitCam - besides the fact that this application also supports only 320 x 240, the quality doesn't even worth mentioning about. I'd definitelly choose not to use this splitter for my business IF I respect myself enough (or the models working for me).
  4. The tests results between WLS HQ Streamer and ManyCam - this application can be situated somehow between Super WebCam and SplitCam, more close at the quality level with the first one, but not as good though. It has only one advantage over Super WebCam despite the quality loss, and that advantage is that the drivers it offers are somehow "stable" on Vista-like operating systems (Windows Vista and Windows 7 - probably any 32 bit version). I've tested it on a 64bit Vista and it is not stable - thus this doesn't worth using unless you have very good reasons.
  5. I've also tested it with CamSplitter 3 - this app's stream quality is clasified by me somewhere between VerySoft's WebCamSplitter and Super WebCam, but doesn't worth the efforts too much, and the video feed's output resolution seems somehow tricky. It doesn't appear to be any way close to what VerySoft's splitter does

Conclusions:

  1. Until present day, there is no splitter application that outputs exactly at the video camera's power. The maximum yet is 640 x 480 touched by VerySoft's app.
  2. The quality of the splitter apps also is questionable. From 5 splitter apps, only 2 are outputing good quality, and only one of them at the desired resolution: VerySoft's WebCamSplitter.

Do we have any solutions to stream real High Quality at this moment? Yes, using video cameras and not webcams, using VerySoft's WebCamSplitter and definitelly using a good encoding application. (real High Quality means a clear video stream, without frame drops, without pixelation, and at the maximum accepted resolution for that video stream (640 x 480). I'm not talking here about webcams that stream 320x240 or 640x480 but at 7-15 fps and with a low quality! I'm talking about real good quality devices)

Do we have any solutions to stream High Definition at this moment? No, there are no splitters to to that, despite that the encoders might work pretty well.

(I'll come back with more feedback and images soon)

We have released the 6th release of version 2.2

Hello dear fellows,

We hereby announce version 2.2 RELEASE 6 which includes several bug-fixes related to functionality and, the most important thing, it uses Adobe's FME 3.1 which was recently released. We have tested it in our studio for more than one week already but Adobe's FME 3.1 doesn't seem the best choice. The most common problems met are:

  • computer restarting due to driver issues between FME and the camera
  • Streaming - it happens many times that FME 3.1 actually sends green screen and not the live feed. This is related with some encoding problems that I will investigate later and come with additional feedback. So currently, FME 3.0 is the our choice for this job.
  • As quality though, it feels like FME 3,1 better processes scenes with high level of movement compared to 3.0 which dropped frames more often. For example in the picture bellow, the girl was mving her left foot very fast up and down... as you can see the screenshot is pretty clear.

 

WLS Streamer release 6 XLOVE

 

With kind regards,

CHATLIVE Studio
