Hello,

I am checking out the vMix software to prepare a minecraft game livestream with about 4-5 people simultaneously. When starting vMix on a regular windows laptop at location X, the desktop capture is running on a desktop pc (Radeon R9 290, i7-2600,8gb,gigabit) on location Y. When connecting with the desktop through the external IP, the desktop capture is giving not more than 6fps. This is the same case when using vMix on the powerful desktop (location Y) and the desktop capture software on a macbook (location X) and even on another windows laptop on location Z. We never exceeded 6FPS in all cases whilst the minecraft game is running fluently. According to the 'desktop capture performance' KB article, we meet all requirements..

The bandwidth is not the problem - there was plenty of bandwidth unused in all scenario's.
The CPU was also not the problem - vMix was using not more than 10% and the desktop capture devices also had enough left.
The image qualtiy 'medium' and 'low' JPEG were used, only for the minecraft window.
In some cases WiFi was used on the Desktop capture device but that should not be the problem as there was plenty of bandwidth left.
The port 20555 (UDP/TCP) was forwarded in all the routers at all locations.
Selected framerate 25 in vMix.
We are using the free vMix package.

Do you have a solution for us?

Thanks in advance!
Tom
