Helping KATG get a stready fast webcam stream for live show.

Well, so far it seems there has been some issues getting a live feed up for the liveshows. Webcam streams take up a lot of bandwidth and there isn't really to my knowledge any good broadcasting software..

But then I found http://www.stickam.com/ its a free webcam community where people can view your webcam for no charge and the quality/framerate is excellent. I used it for an event I hosted and I think we maxed out at 50 people, with no signs of issues from their side.

Now the issue you haven't been webcaming might also be the fact that you are streaming the feed to a shoutcast server. But it really shouldn't be an issue as the stream is max ~128kbit and the webcamstream is somewhere around ~300kbit. Most US connections have a upload greated then that.
