FEATURE REQUESTS AND SUGGESTIONS / Re: Streaming video over a local network using SplitCam’s built-in features
Last post by ROBOCRAFTER ART -
Sorry for the long pause in my reply.
Of course — let me give you an example from my own experience; that’ll make it easier to understand what the user is asking for. =)

For instance, I want to stream a feed from my PC to my TV box. There are plenty of apps on it that can receive streaming broadcasts via unicast and multicast.

For example, I can’t send a stream from SplitCam over my local network to
udp://224.0.0.1:9999?pkt_size=1316
and then receive that stream on the TV box as
udp://@:9999.

Also, there are no settings to choose the audio/video codecs or output formats for this kind of stream.

Unfortunately, there’s been a trend lately where software developers seem to forget that local network streaming exists, not just online streaming.

For example, I need to use interactive demo materials for my students at school — and we all know how “well” public schools are funded. So, we make do with what we have. SplitCam actually has great tools, but because it lacks (or maybe I just don’t know how to use) the option to broadcast over the local network (unicast and multicast.), I have to first capture the SplitCam virtual camera in OBS, and then stream it from OBS to the local network… which ends up being a bit of an overcomplicated workaround. =)

SPLITCAM TECH SUPPORT / Re: Whatsapp on PC can't recognize Splitcam as a virtual camera
Last post by Dink4 -
Hello
Try this version : https://splitcam.com/win-download/update/10.7.32_x64.msi

Thankyou so much , the " Splitcam Driver " now comes up under choices of Video input when using WhatsApp Desktop on my PC , fantastic , I did just try the new 10.8.60 , no luck the Splitcam driver does not appear in the drop down list for video input , so I thought I'd give your suggestion of the older version a go , and Bingo :)

Will this be fixed in a newer version or am I best to stay with this older version if I want WhatsApp support ?

The only issue I seem to have is it AUTO DOWNLOADS an update for me to v10.8.5 and has a NAG screen to update it , which I don't need or want to use into MY DOWNLOADS folder , is there any easy way to turn off AUTO UPDATE , maybe by modifying a cfg file , as there is no tick box in UI ?

I have tried adding " offline = 1 " to the " local.cfg " file in " %localappdata%\SplitCam " as suggested on the forum  , as I only use Splitcam on my LOCAL network , no streaming as such , but it still checks for updates ?

SPLITCAM TECH SUPPORT / powered sub hub for multiple webcams
Last post by gmo3 -
Hello. Hoping someone can help me. I use my SplitCam app on my PC for home "security cams". I know I need a "powered SUB hub" [Bus SUB hub handling only 2 of my 3 cams]. Confused on what type I need - how much wattage, what it's called, etc. The more I read about them the more confused I get. I don't want to get one that's just used for charging - I already have one of those.
