This in-game OBSRemote window is ready for streaming control.

As an alternative to streaming with ISXTwitch, Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) control is now available via ISXOBSRemote. ISXOBSRemote requires the OBSRemote plugin for OBS.

Installation

Download and install to your Inner Space folder (should be selected by default by the installer)

• 2014-09-06: Full install, 32-bit and 64-bit: Lavish.ISXOBSRemote.20140906.1.exe

Usage after install

With ISBoxer integration

Configuring ISBoxer.com stream listing

ISBoxer integration is available in ISBoxer 41.8.0429.1 or later

First, enable OBSRemote integration in ISBoxer Toolkit

1. In the top left pane, under Character Sets, select yours
2. In the bottom left pane, under Slots, select the Slot number you want to control streaming from
3. In the bottom right pane, select the "Streaming Integration" tab
4. Check "Load Open Broadcaster Software Remote (OBSRemote) integration in this slot"
5. If you would like to be listed on ISBoxer.com's Streams page (and potentially earn rewards!), click "Configure ISBoxer.com stream listing"
   1. Fill in the "Twitch Channel name" box with your Twitch Channel name. The URL next to the box will change as you type in the box, and you can click the link to make sure you have entered the right information
   2. Fill in the "Lavish Software Affiliate Site Key" with your Affiliate Site key from https://www.lavishsoft.com/account/. You can click the "Check Key" button to make sure you have entered your key correctly.
   3. Click OK
6. Export to Inner Space

Later, use the OBSRemote GUI in-game

1. When launching your team, this Slot will automatically pop up the in-game OBSRemote window, with a button to Connect to your Open Broadcaster Software.
   • Tip: If you do not want to start streaming right away, either ignore or hide the box. You can bring the in-game OBSRemote window back by opening the ISBoxer Control Panel.
2. Click Connect in the in-game OBSRemote window if you have Open Broadcaster Software running, with the OBSRemote plugin enabled
3. If OBSRemote has a password configured, a Password entry box will show up next. Enter your password and click Login to complete the process of connecting.
4. When OBSRemote is successfully connected, the window will have a scene selection drop-down box, a Preview check box, and a Start/Stop button. Hopefully use of these controls is self-explanatory.
5. If you have configured ISBoxer.com integration via ISBoxer, then after Starting your stream with the Start button, check the ISBoxer.com Streams page to verify that your stream is recognized!

ISBoxer integration is available in ISBoxer 41.8.0429.1 or later

You can minimize or close the in-game OBSRemote window after starting your stream!

Integration with ISBoxer.com site

The page at http://isboxer.com/multiboxing/streams tracks streamers who use ISXTwitch or ISXOBSRemote to initiate streaming. To take advantage of this functionality with ISXOBSRemote, you must enter your Lavish Software Affiliate Site Key (found at https://www.lavishsoft.com/account) and your Twitch channel name into InnerSpace/Scripts/TwitchStreamInfo.XML. A sample file with the correct format is provided for you as InnerSpace/Scripts/TwitchStreamInfo.Empty.XML.

Here's what to do...

1. Open the InnerSpace/Scripts folder
2. Copy or rename the TwitchStreamInfo.Empty.XML file to TwitchStreamInfo.XML
3. Run Notepad as Administrator so you will have permission to edit the file -- this may require right clicking Notepad in the Start menu to select Run as Administrator -- and open TwitchStreamInfo.XML
4. Replace the value provided for the LavishKey setting with your key from https://www.lavishsoft.com/account. Note that, as described on the Lavish Software page, changing your password at lavishsoft.com will reset the key.
5. Replace the value provided for the TwitchUser setting with your Twitch channel name.
6. Save the TwitchStreamInfo.XML file

Original file contents...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<InnerSpaceSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <Setting Name="LavishKey">visit https://www.lavishsoft.com/account to get your lavishsoft.com Affiliate Site Key</Setting>
  <Setting Name="TwitchUser">TWITCH_USER_NAME</Setting>
</InnerSpaceSettings>

Filled in data, if your Lavish Software Affiliate Site key is "USERNAME-1234567890abcdef" and Twitch channel name "MyTwitchChannel"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<InnerSpaceSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
