Review on πŸ“Ή Enhanced LiveU Solo Wireless Encoder for Facebook Live, Twitch, YouTube, and Twitter Live Streaming by Tony Wilson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Didn't work with my GH5 and LiveU isn't the only game in town anymore.

Unfortunately, that didn't work with any quality setting on my GH5. The device has a maximum resolution of 1080p at 30 fps and is said to be scalable and adaptable to any HDMI input, but a company spokesman said there are some issues with some models at the moment. The image would appear but freeze randomly and constantly for a few seconds regardless of internet speed. I showed a solid 5Mbps upstream and still got the result. Also for Youtube if you don't have 1000 subscribers you need to use a workaround which I never bothered to try after the FB Live stuck issue. Overall I just didn't find it very elegant. They could have slightly improved the situation, but I think they decided against it. The entire installation should be simplified. I know companies love subscriptions and make $$ after you buy them, and the fact that I HAVE to use their expensive services just doesn't make it worth it to me. There are other options that cost less money and offer connection, it's not the only game in town.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
