XSplit Broadcaster Public Beta 6 (Core: 1.0.1112.0503)
- Bandwidth tester improvement: Test flag for stream provider. This tells the stream service provider that the incoming stream is a test stream and they should bypass social triggers and stream playback
- Justin/TwitchTV plugin update
Ingest locations are now picked up from Justin/TwitchTV API. Changes will only be affected during creation of new channels or editing of existing channels.
- Option to exclude unsupported/incompatible direct show filters (new- needs documentation and further testing)
- Official Support for Hauppauge Colossus
- Beta Support for Hauppauge HDPVR
Known issue: Requires special driver http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/s ... html?tab=2
There are still some stability issues which we are working with Hauppauge to resolve so don't post issues here - we are aware of most of them already.
- Official and improved support for Black Magic Shuttle and Intensity Pro
Support for Black Magic capture cards also includes audio played back directly when source is added
- MP3 format has been completely replaced by AAC audio which provides a better quality at the same bitrate.
- Improved handling of source problem
If XSplit is not shut down properly then XSplit offers to disable sources or start a new presentation on next start-up
- Improved Chroma Key and Color key
Added special smooth and antialiasing filter
- New optimized de-interlace option for live streams
- Show dropped frames in title bar
- Shift-right-click to directly show direct show config/menu
Known issue: Can cause crash in special situations
- Bandwidth tester for broadcast plugins
From inside the Plugin settings it is now possible to verify that a constant bitrate of vbv-maxrate + audio can be transmitted to the target server consistently.
- Broadcast plugin update notification
When new broadcast plugins become available XSplit will now notify the user during login and offer to install the updated plugin(s)
- Separate live-stream plugin from IP Camera/RTSP plugin
RTMP and RTSP live stream is now split up as two separate sources. For RTSP stream, you now need to use the Add IP camera menu.
- Blog.tv broadcast plugin
- Speex audio support
- Enable VBV-Maxrate and VBV-Bufsize settings on Local Recording plugin
This is useful to limit bit-rate of local recordings and to check "performance" of a local recording with exactly the same settings as a live stream
- MP4 file format available as local recording format for pre-ordered users
Automatically recorded Broadcasts are always saved in FLV format. but now users have a chance to change local recording file format to MP4 (or for not automatic recording)
- Change default VBV-Buffer multiplier
It seems most streaming services use a flash buffer below 2 sec. We have therefore changed the default vbv-buffer to match a 1 sec flash player buffer. This settings should really be matched against each of the streaming services supported (we will get to that).
- Source Plugin Store
Yup ...its pretty cool. We have made a "store" so you can choose between several optional source plugins. In the future we expect user contributions and a much wider selection.
- Source plugin improvements
Live-stream, Image Slideshow, Video Playlist, and Whiteboard Overlay
- API support for external sources
XSplit now supports external sources programmed in an programming language which supports COM (.net, C++ etc). The feature is still undocumented we will send out documentation to those who wish to have a go. So basically your C++ or , .net application can generate frames for a source. (Thanks to Will Ascend for helping us to test this future - Will promised to make the original starboard available to users as an external source)

- 3082 - Buzz Issue
A short burst of buzz can sometimes be heard when media players stop or when clicking back and forward in a browser. The latter is the case with IE which executes a wav file when you navigate. The issue is there only on some machines, and it seems to be an issue related to speaker capture. The issue is believed to be related to sound drivers or OS. (The buzz sound is actually never captured, it happens when sound stops being send to speakers and XSplit is open)
We have a fix for the issue that we will release soon.
