Lean mean stream machine

Some people have asked how I did it. So for anyone who is having similar windows 7 sync problems.


I noticed that I could stream video games with no sync issues at all, which continues to make be believe this is just a software bug in procaster, not that you would ever know from their shit tech support and forums.

Anyway since it still streams games fine, I figured I may be able to trick it into thinking The VLC player was a game.

I set procaster to the "Game" setting, rather then the screen setting, and Then turned on VLC by directly clicking a file, rather then starting VLC and then loading a file. This caused Procaster to think VLC was a video game.

When using this method however, you have to play the video in fullscreen mode or when you stream it its only a tiny box on the stream screen.

Also you can not select another file to play, unless you load it into the play list, other wise the whole mess will crash, procaster and VLC.

So while its not perfect, It does mean I can stream movies and shows again.

My next day off should be Tuesday so expect some major showtime then, and a little on Monday, likely some video games in the morning.
