[Sandw1chPlease]

Is there anyway to reduce the delay? Ill give you my log.
Please help! Thank you !

This delay is created by twitch, noone except twitch can do anything about it.

So why does the popular streamers not got this delay? Will it decrease if i get more viewers? Atm i got no viewers, cuz i started to stream today, but would it help to get more popular and more viewers? :S

All Twitch streamers, popular or not, experience this type of delay now. It's a side effect of the new video system Twitch implemented a while back. Other than ensuring your settings meet the Twitch broadcast requirements there's nothing you can do about it.

Do my settings fit the requirements?

Your computer isn't nearly powerful enough to stream at the settings you're trying to use, but the basic requirements seem to be met. You can view them at http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/a ... quirements

You'll probably need to downscale your stream resolution much further, into the 2.5 to 3.0 range, to get decent performance.

Yep, that's... pretty bad. You need to lower your settings significantly. System's simply too weak to run at what you've got it set at, at-current.

And yes, popular or not, all streams will have an (on average) 30s delay with the new HLS system. Nothig you can do about that part.
