With the release of EVE Online: Rubicon 1.0.8 on the 10th of December, Twitch.tv integration will be added to the client! This will allow you to bypass all 3rd party programs and stream directly to Twitch.tv!
CCP Rise has all of the details here.
Let us know how you would like this feature to evolve in the future, and how you intend to use it. We can expect more streams to pop up in the next couple of months, and we will welcome all of them with open arms!

Sorry for that =( We are disappointed by the lack of mac support as well. Because of the way we emulate EVE for macs we actually don't have much control over this. There's a problem with something called a 'wrapper' and the twitch SDK and from what I understand we have to investigate with an external provider to get it resolved.
Hopefully we can figure it out but our hands were tied for this release unfortunately. |

I wish delay was easier to do, it's obviously the most attractive feature addition. Unfortunately it's also the least probable. Currently we can stream straight to twitch from the client without having to taken on any extra server load but to provide delay we would have to store the buffer on our own hardware for a huge scale of players. It would be difficult to say the least, and would likely mean a giant investment in new hardware.
Hopefully getting the option through twitch gets easier over time but for now partnership is the only option. |

We are restricted in what resolutions we can offer based on the twitch SDK, but you can select from a wide range of options and then you can also choose the framerate all the way up to 60fps and then we automatically adjust the bitrate to handle your framerate selection. |

I streamed EVE in the past in a really sensitive intel environment and did it with no delay or very little delay. I felt that what you gain strategically wasn't worth what I gave up by not being able to talk with stream viewers in real time. It's awkward when someone asks a question in chat and then has to wait 10 minutes to get an answer.
And while it would be nice if the integrated tool was better, I actually disagree that it 'should' be. The nice thing about integration is that it's very accessible. It's appealing to a broader audience who would rather have ease of use than having more options. I think if people start streaming because of integration and then realize they want more features and move to a dedicated tool for it that seems great. |

Yes. Your stream will contain all the audio going on on your system. Microphone input/comms/music/game sound and anything will else will all be included. |

Twitch is live right now so I hope you all have a play around with it.. Thank you all for the feedback so far, it's been interesting to read the discussions on how people may use/improve the system.
Even the DEVs are enjoying trying the feature out, with CCP Fozzie streaming live from Jita.
Remember that this is a basic implementation, we want to see how people receive the feature.

Hi all and thanks for your continued feedback. Rest assured - we are reading.
For those of you having issues with streaming, please remember that streaming is quite an intensive process. Twitch Recommends:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz or AMD equivalent
MEMORY: 8GB DDR3 SDRAM
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
So whilst your computer may meet the recommended spec for EVE Online, you may experience issues streaming to twitch.

This is something we will consider but obviously we don't want people accidentally streaming when they don't want to.
