Hi! Because you actually interacted I updated and checked what changed since my test.
The Good: Windows seem finally to be recognized. When I tested a while back about half of all games I tried have not been recognized and general windows where not found at all. Couldn't capture a non-game window, no browserwindow.
Which all was the main reason I didn't even try one stream with meld. It was literally only usable for screencapture.
The Bad: Chat only seems to work for twitch.
Streamsettings only for Twitch and missing the go live notif.
When a browsersource does not load (e.g. Mixitup because it's not active) instead of showing nothing you putout the error which might lead to IP Adress leaking depending on the usage, when the user for example doesn't use intranet ips but real ones for services that they don't want to show to the public. This is a very severe security problem.
Windows Captures capture the windows title bar, which you generally not want on stream (nitpicky from me maybe)
Windows, Game and Displaycapture are in the same drop down which can again be a sercurity risk. A wrong click and you maybe show a window you don't want to show (or not yet) because you wanted to select a game, not a browserwindow. Those should be seperated. This is especially atm problematic as you don't fetch the windows application icon which would lower the risk.
No Studio mode. I can not edit and prepare the scene while live. Viewers have to watch everything.
No noisegating or backgroundsound filtering.
The unacceptable:
No free FPS choice - While 30/60 are in general enough it should be up to the user. While I restrict everything locally to 60fps there are many streamers that stream at 144
No encoder choice. Just "hardware" or not.
No MP4/Hybrid
No Rescaling
No Ratecontrol
No Keyframe Interval
No Look Ahead and Adaptive quantization
No B-Frames
No Custom Encoder Settings
Sound Monitoring does not work at all
Just plain useless
Some stuff has been named differently just for the sake to name it differently to have your own name for things, which makes it very hard to adapt to a new software, especially when used names in e.g. OBS already where are common used terms for everything without personalizing names or terms to the software
UI is barely configurable. You are allowed to switch the scenes/layers and the inspector but that's it. You can't arrange everything the way you need.
While a few options are maybe nitpicky of me many of them are just the absolute minimum to be able to control your stream perfectly.
If I am missing any settings I am listening.
