OBS is free. or am I missing something.
Youâre right. I take back what I said because I was talking at cross-purposes (i.e. video capture on a PC for a separate device).
@Gerrie_Delport_ODZ @Steve_Hammatt OBS is well free.
But with a PC (instead of MAC) we are not able to get acess to AppelTV sreen
How are you connecting the PC to the ATV? You need video capture hardware, e.g. an Elgato device.
ATV and PC are on same network only. I donât have âcapture hardwareâ.
I see itâs so easy to perform sreem mirror with MAC and ATV with QuickTime Player.
I donât have a ATV but do a search on google for OBS record ATV.
Youâll need a capture card of some sort. i use one of these (discontinued)
or new version
Elgato i would highly recommend as well.
There are some cheap capture cards although i have no experience of them so canât tell you if they are good or not. The main difference between the really cheap capture devices is they just transfer the signal for your pc to encode. Where as the above and elgato will encode on the fly so putting less load on your computer.
iâd be interested to try some like this if it works then itâs cheap.
This just appeared as a notice today for me, 1 day to go. I have to buy a new PC as mine is fully integrated all-in-one! BAH! I donât care what my FPS is, this isnât a shooter game
It is happening with March update - not before mid March.
Nevertheless it is a 3D game. Where would you draw the line in terms of acceptable performance? Zwift literally only exists because of how it looks; a 3D virtual world to ride through instead of a bunch of graphs and text. Creating that world and running it somewhat smoothly requires a base level of suitable hardware.
Itâs a shame that your system seemingly canât be upgraded and so youâd be forced into spending money by this change, but if you donât care at all how it looks and just want to train then there are many other platforms that will continue to work on your PC indefinitely.
PS: used all-in-one PCs with 20in screen that will run Zwift roughly as well as an Apple TV 4K are readily available on eBay. Theyâd want an extra 4GB stick of RAM adding, but otherwise theyâre ready to go. They have an SSD so Windows will boot in under 15secs and Zwift in around 30secs.
Theyâre ÂŁ65.
Thank you for all clarification.
Unfortunately my PC is not located close to my ATV.
And all âcapture cardâ shall be connected by USB to the PC.
Am I now one of the few who can no longer sync custom workouts with AppleTV just because my PC no longer meets the minimum (graphics) requirements?
@shooj As Dave asked before, is there a plan to address this?
Good excuse to sack the Apple TV off.
Hey, now! Themâs fightinâ words!!
Itâs only because I was searching eBay for cheap PCs he could use solely for that purpose (roughly ÂŁ40 by the way
) and then I thought it would be daft to buy one and not upgrade it a littleâŚ
Dave, why should I?
I donât see the need to upgrade my PC just to sync workouts. Thatâs just rude of Zwift that there isnât another option here.
It was a joke, but thatâs one of the drawbacks of the platform people overlook.
