Hi,

I have a very specific question :

I run a radio on YouTube 24/7 with OBS studio hosted on a server (remote computer)?
I'm having issues occasionally (buffers/offline-online) with either obs, the server or youtube, i'm not too sure.
I'd like to know if it could be possible to have 2 or 3 servers with OBS studio on each of them streaming the same content on YouTube at the same time (with the same streaming key), if an issue or buffer happens on the server 1, the server 2 or 3 are used as backup and keep the streaming session without buffer.

I don't know if it's clear enough, let me know if you need additional informations,

Thanks in advance,
Dim

Can not possibly work whatever key connects as the latest will be the one streaming. You would have to creat some sort of Script to determine the quality if your current stream and switch over to the next server when problems occur but that will still come with some downtime (seconds)
