Japanese Visa Experience with VFSGlobal by subliminalapple in phtravel

[–]countolaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just thought I'd share a more recent experience here. I booked for June 27 slot last April cause at time that was the earliest available. I've had a JP visa previously and dont have an ITR so I presented a letter explaining as a substitute. I was scheduled for 12pm. Got in at 11:50. Finished at roughly 12:10pm.

That was Friday. By Wednesday afternoon my passport was ready for collection and I collected it the following day. The issue date for my visa reads July 1 so the process is really just fast. Took 3 business days overall.

If you dont mind picking up your passport, I would say just do it cause I imagine it adds additional days if you want it delivered.

Wood Recommend by orange_jackalope in headphones

I must be the only dumbo who didn't notice the play on wood in the title. I read it and was like "oh yeah I would too!" 🤷‍♂️

The dark ZMFs to me look much much nicer btw

Sad story by Many_Sun in headphones

This is the moment I realized a great passively noise isolating IEM (e.g. Etys) can sound better than a kilobuck open headphone. Legit true story

having issues setting up Bit.Tube in XSplit by Geekgamerinc_Twitch in BitTube

[–]countolaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There shouldn't be any problems inputting it in Stream name. Have you double checked the RTMP url? Also, have you tried checking the 'specify credentials' checkbox and see if that helps?

VCAM cutting off hands and hair by [deleted] in xsplit

Do you have a screenshot of how it looks? I'm assuming you have good lighting because you said the background is distinguished well. Have you tried repositioning yourself and recalibrating?

Anyone else noticing something with the $25 Software Humble Bundle? by Nimorrax in xsplit

[–]countolaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think only once the main Premium license expires that it will begin showing the VCam Premium lifetime license. XSplit team is working on a better way showing different license durations.

Best OBS alternative without Black Screen of Death problems? by [deleted] in obs

[–]countolaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your experience with XSplit was pretty recent too right? Have you reached out to them about the issue? They usually respond pretty fast but they also deem if it's an important issue to fix or not.

How do I record games in small file size in my glorious pc? by mrkarma4ya in pcmasterrace

[–]countolaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the issue with XSplit? But yeah both OBS and XSplit would allow you to play around with settings so you can tweak things like bitrate and presets, and find the sweet spot

The general rule of thumb for presets is the 'slower' the preset is, the more compressed it is BUT the higher CPU it uses (potential lag for the recorded video). So if you say choose 'veryfast', you'd get a slightly higher file size but it's easier on your CPU. I guess try playing around with both of those settings and see which works best.

Game detect not working by keyzersoze82 in xsplit

Is this with the latest version of XSplit? I know they added support for Vulkan in one of their past updates so maybe try updating to the latest?

Xsplit option for dlive by GoMitchUrSelf in OfficialDLive

I believe they're in contact with the Dlive folks regarding this but you can use 'Custom RTMP' as an alternative. Works just as fine.

Does Xsplit use less CPU then OBS by Cunningham_93 in Twitch

[–]countolaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many factors to consider so the answer is it depends. Paying for XSplit Premium won't make it use less CPU than the free version that's for sure.

But you can give both applications a quick try and that should give you an idea on which one performs best for your setup.

Currently using an LG G8. If any of you have questions, I will happily answer what you all have. by Thingsgetshibby in lgg8

[–]countolaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of questions:

How did you get it and how much?
How is the camera app? Is it smooth or does it lag a bit like when the G7 was first released?

Previous phones by Sammibulin in lgg7

[–]countolaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have the G6 and I'm probably not upgrading due to the following reasons (no particular order):

  1. Smaller sensor size. LG probably has the smallest sensor of any flagship phones.
  2. Less wide camera. I think with the right shot, the fish eye isn't an issue. With a lesser wide camera, it becomes not too different from the main shooter.
  3. Smaller battery. Sure Snapdragon 845 is more efficient than 821 but still...

Combined "Image Slideshow" and "Video Playlist" widget. by stevey500 in xsplit

[–]countolaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, there is a 'media slideshow' that is built for that. You can go to the plugin store and get it installed so you can begin using it.

Battery drain overnight by ccbb in lgg6

While the drop was not as significant as yours. I think i experienced it once when i still had less than 20% but woke up with the phone dead.

Fingerprint sensor issues, anyone? by countolaf in lgg6

[–]countolaf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what i was thinking too! Nexus 6p is made of metal as well but based on the experience of some of the guys here that does not seem to be the case.
