Added a rejection setting to prevent the tag from being re-attached if an incorrect auto-tag is assigned.

If it is currently being broadcast, please check the "Autotag" field on the broadcast slot management page (https://live.erinn.biz/login.live.php),
After the broadcast, from the "List of past broadcasts" → "Recording settings" → "Auto tag" field on the broadcast slot management page,
If you delete an autotag by clicking the "X" button on the right side of the autotag you want to delete, that tag will automatically be added to the rejection list.

Once a tag is on the rejected list, it will not be added again, even if it is included in the title or description.
*This rejection list is applied only when a tag is set from the title or description, and is not applied when Coffret etc. recognizes the running software ID because there is no erroneous recognition due to the mechanism.

If you are added to the reject list by mistake, you can remove it from the page below.

2020/04/21 07:12 Addendum Due to lack of notification to those who have newly started distribution within the past two years, many people were unintentionally subject to deduction.
We have made an improvement so that the experience value subtraction for the deleted deliveries will only be from today (2020/04/21).
Once you access the broadcast slot management page, the subtracted amount will be restored.
Please note that if you delete the distribution record after today, it will be subject to subtraction.

Since we have received many inquiries that "the broadcaster level suddenly rebounded",
I will explain the specifications.

Experience points at the streamer level are calculated from the cumulative broadcast time of “undeleted” streams, the number of comments, etc.
If you delete the distribution record yourself after the broadcast, the distributor level may be reverted.

This calculation process for subtraction is different from addition and is a heavy process, so it is performed during database optimization approximately every two years.
For this reason, there are cases where the broadcaster level suddenly decreases sharply, but (currently) it is the specification. note that.

kukuluLIVE dynamically determines the storage period for recordings based on the class of the broadcaster and the number of views of recordings.
Due to the increase in the number of distributions and the rise in image quality (bit rate), the amount of storage required per hour is increasing rapidly.
Adding and maintaining recording servers and storage is becoming difficult.

For this reason, only when the allocated Storage Server storage capacity is critical.
The storage period may be shorter than the indicated number of days.
These are done automatically and will return to the previous specification when sufficient storage is available.
(Permanent storage done on tickets will not be canceled)

Regarding the recording of important distributions, please overlay comments on the distribution video and save it locally on the OBS side.
Please consider uploading to YouTube etc. after distribution.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but we ask for your understanding and cooperation.

Conventionally, the push connection destination address (RTMP connection destination) and stream name were changed each time a broadcast slot was acquired.
It is now fixed for each account ID.

The push connection destination address is fixed to "rtmp://rtmp.erinn.biz/live/" for all accounts,
The stream name will be your account's API key.

If you wish to change your password due to a leak, etc., you can do so by clicking "Change" in the "API Key" field on the login page.
https://live.erinn.biz/login.php

When using "OBS connection destination automatic setting" or "kukuluLIVE easy setup", this fixed address is not used as the connection destination is automatically entered into the software each time.
This function is for the following people.

・Those who use XSplit or ffmpeg (those who cannot use automatic configuration)
・Those who connect GoPro etc. via the external RTMP function using the kukuluLIVE Encoder2 smartphone app ・Those who are streaming on multiple sites simultaneously ・Those who are streaming from a Mac ・Those who are not aware of the existence of Coffret

This function connects to a traditional push server via a reverse proxy server, so
Connecting directly with a non-fixed address as before is more advantageous in terms of latency and stability, and is also lower cost.
If you are in an environment where you can use the "Automatic OBS connection setting" built into kukuluLIVE Coffret, please continue to use it.
The feeling of not wasting 1Mbps will make tomorrow's kukuluLIVE more comfortable. We thank you for your cooperation.

-Added a function that makes it easier to find streams that are currently distributing your favorite content.Streams that include tags that have been saved using the "Save search" function will
It will be prioritized and displayed in the upper left of the broadcast list on the top page, and the background will be blue.



Please see below for the "Save Search" function.

- Added a new item "Rainbow". "Rainbow" can be exchanged for Kukupo.
If you say "/rainbow" in the comment of the stream while there are enough rainbows left, you can make a beautiful rainbow appear on the stream screen.
There are different types of rainbows, and rare rainbows may appear.
A happy thing will happen to all logged-in viewers who were able to see a rare rainbow.
(Kukupo will be randomly distributed to everyone, the number of scratches for today will be reset, the required Kukupo for heart points and titles will decrease for a certain period of time, etc.)

Kukupo exchange form

・The "B Bomb" item has been abolished <br>The majority of people do not know about the existence of Mabinogi's B Bomb,
We have discontinued this feature because we received many requests for its discontinuation.
For those who owned B-bombs at the time of their abolition, we transferred Kukupo compensation equal to the unit price x number of bombs.

Added a feature that allows you to set the distribution thumbnail to any image.
You can also set a different thumbnail for each distribution, or automatically reuse the default thumbnail.

The default thumbnail can be set from "Feminine Power Up" in the broadcast settings on the broadcast slot management page.


If you want to set it for each broadcast, you can do so from the broadcast slot management page after acquiring the broadcast slot.


Thumbnail images can be specified as "JPEG, PNG" images with a size of less than "1920 x 1080" and a file size of less than "2MB".

If "default thumbnail" is set and no thumbnail is set for each delivery, the default thumbnail will be used.
If both thumbnails are not set, the captured image of the distribution will be used as before.

Thumbnails are used on the broadcast list screen (thumbnail mode), when posting a distribution URL to Twitter, and in the playback pop-up of the browser.

kukuluLIVE dynamically increases or decreases the number of servers in 30 second increments depending on the load on the distribution network.
In preparation for spikes, individual containment rates are kept at around 50% of the limit,
Basically, viewing will not become "heavy" due to the load on the server side.

If the video stops or buffer waits occur frequently during a specific distribution,
This is most likely caused by the distributor's OBS (encoder) settings.

Especially in an environment where the settings of the computer are set to the limit,
Even if it works fine immediately after setup, problems may occur unexpectedly when you start a heavy game.

If you are a broadcaster, please check the settings below once again and make sure that you are comfortable with the settings.



1: The encoder setting "x264" is very heavy because it is software encoded.
Use hardware encoding whenever possible.
Although it varies depending on the environment, "NVIDIA NVENC H.264 (new)", "H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework)", and "QuickSync H.264" are hardware encoding.
Newer OBS allows for lighter weight and higher quality hardware encoding. If you are using an older OBS, we recommend updating to the latest version.

2: Bit rate setting <br>If it is too high, communication stability will be impaired, but if it is too low, the encoding load will increase.
We recommend setting it to around 1500-3500Kbps.

3: Presets (CPU usage presets, target usage, etc.)
In an environment where the above encoder setting is "x264", if you set the preset to "slow", it will become extremely heavy.
Please set it to "faster" at most in the relevant environment, and "veryfast" if it is a standard specification.
In a hardware encoding environment, increasing the preset will not reduce stability, but
We recommend settings that are as close to latency and performance as possible.

[Q&A]

Q. I didn't have any problems with other distribution sites, but why does kukuluLIVE require a margin in the settings?
A. kukuluLIVE achieves ultra-low latency streaming with a minimum delay of 0.5 seconds, so even the slightest processing delay will cause the buffer to reach zero and playback to be interrupted.
Other distribution sites have an average delay (buffer) of about 10 seconds, and since processing delays can be absorbed during this time, insufficient specifications are less likely to surface.

Q. Will the image quality deteriorate if I use hardware encoding?
A. The image quality is lower than with software encoding, but it can be compensated for in most cases by increasing the bit rate by about 20%.

Q. Will using hardware encoding slow down the game?
A. Live broadcast encoding does not run the GPU at full power. At most, it is about 10% of the maximum load.
In most environments it is almost negligible.

Q. Is this the same reason why Time Shift may not play properly?
A. In most cases, the cause is the same. Timeshift is provided without encoding as standard, but
Only when we detect an inadequacy in the data, we re-encode it and provide it.
For this reason, insufficient specifications may cause a longer time to provide timeshift or lower image quality.

It is possible to display the game screen of a guest in a remote location on the distributed video in real time.
"kukuluLIVE VirtualCam over Network" has been released.

When distributing a game together with a guest, in order to "show the viewer the video from the guest's perspective",
“Broadcast on the guest side and use the PinP function as a joint broadcast” or
There were methods such as "importing screen sharing from Discord etc. using OBS".
It has the following advantages compared to those methods.

・It can be directly integrated into OBS, so there is no need to configure it every time. ・You can display the guest's video on the distribution with almost no lag. ・There is no increase in bandwidth consumption on the viewer side. ・There is no need to set up broadcasts on the guest side. (Can also be broadcast on)
・Video size and display magnification can be fixed ・Videos from two or more guests can be received at the same time, or can be sent while being received ・Inputs from different PCs can be combined into one video ・Can be separated from audio (calls) (use Discord etc. separately)
*Since " kukuluLIVE FaceRig over Network " can also be used at the same time, it can be separated from the FaceRig avatar.

Example 1) When inviting two guests and showing everyone's screen on the broadcast:


Example 2) When transmitting and receiving game footage and FaceRig to each other for joint distribution:

---

[VirtualCam transmission settings (guest side)]

1. Start "OBS (v26 or later)" or " XSplit Broadcaster " and configure the appropriate settings as well as for distribution.
*You can also use the free version of XSplit, but the logo will be included. There is no need to make a distribution connection from XSplit.
*For OBS (v26 or later), start it and press "Start virtual camera".

2. Open the "kukuluLIVE VirtualCam over Network (Sender)" page below from Chrome or Firefox.
https://live.erinn.biz/login.vcam.sender.php
*Firefox has better image quality than Chrome, but uses more bandwidth.

(If you are using Coffret, open Coffret's "Tools" > "VirtualCam over Network" > "Send your OBS/XSplit video to your collaboration partner".)

3. Allow camera use.

*If you are asked to select a device, select "OBS Virtual Camera" if using OBS, or "XSplitBroadcaster" if using XSplit.
*If you cannot use it, please try closing all other applications that are using video (such as OBS) and restarting them.

4. When the "Start VirtualCam Preview" button appears, press it.


5. When the VirtualCam preview starts, press the "Start Publish" button.


6. Once in this state, preparations on the guest side are complete. Please notify the broadcaster of the URL to be set in the other party's OBS. This URL is unique for each kukuluID.

---

[VirtualCam reception settings (broadcaster side)]



1. Confirm that the version of OBS is "24.0.3" or later, if not, update to the latest version from "Help" → "Check for Updates".

2. Press the "+" button for sources and add the "Browser" source.


3. Naming the source is optional. Press the "OK" button.


4. Paste the URL of "kukuluLIVE VirtualCam over Network" notified by the guest into "URL".
Set the width to "1280" and the height to "720".
Be sure to check "Shut down source when not visible".
Once the settings are complete, press the "OK" button to close.


5. Settings are complete when the guest's video is displayed on the distribution preview.
Hide browser source when not in use.

When calling the same guest, the setting is completed just by displaying the browser source.
When calling other guests, please change the URL of the browser source or create a second browser source. You can call multiple guests at the same time.

*If your avatar moves jerky:
Go to OBS "Settings" → "Advanced" → "Sources" → "Enable hardware acceleration for browser sources" and restart OBS.

*If the playback start button appears:
After confirming that "Shutdown source when not displayed" is turned on, hide the source → show it, it will be reloaded and you can play normally.

---

[Q&A]
Q. Is it not possible for guests to stream?
A. Yes. XSplit can be dedicated to VirtualCam and streamed from OBS, or OBS can do both.

Q. Can the conventional joint delivery function be used at the same time?
A. Yes. Send and receive each other with "kukuluLIVE VirtualCam over Network" and make sure that the other party's screen is displayed on both streams.
If you get a broadcast slot and join in that state, PinP will be hidden, and only the total number of viewers and the join in the comment section will work.

・You can now delete automatic tags for broadcasts <br>You can now delete automatic tags in cases where unintended tags are added, such as when a game is launched by mistake.
You can delete it from the "x" on the right side of the tag on the "Broadcast slot management page".


Because of the function to delete tags that have been unintentionally,
The currently running tag (last tag) cannot be deleted.

After the distribution ends, you can also delete it from "Recording settings" in "List of past broadcasts" on the "Broadcast slot management page".
