Hey

Im streaming 720p 60fps 3,5k bitrate and people having issues with the highbitrate.
I use dual pc setup with Avermedia capture card. So the quality is exellent with low presets.

Like if a friend of mine from sweden tries to watch, he gets buffering all the time. And he's using 70mb internet.
And im streaming from sweden to swedish servers. How is this even possible ?

Is there a way around this? Like using nginx/trancoder or something so the quality is still nice and i can lower the bitrate to 2k?

Another question, CBR or CRF in order to make it work for everyone?

When i use 3500 as bitrate it goes way over, like peaks at 4k and thats ilegal on twitch unless you are partnered.

Any tips? i wanna keep atleast 45fps+ or else there is no use using dual pc setup.

Sorry if something is just bad written.

Thanks to everyone helping out!

you can switch to hitbox or youtube or let your friend use streamlink https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink and set --hls-live-edge to 10. With that setting you can even stream with 40 MBit/s Bitrate at twitch and it doesn't have buffering. But i don't think twitch will be happy with that if you do this while having a lot of viewers.

If you have just streamed, open OBS again and share you last log. If you have launched OBS since then without streaming, please start a new stream - run it for a few minutes while gaming - stop it, then share current log.

You should always use CBR for streaming. CRF will make the encoder change bitrate depending on how much motion there is in the video. CRF is good recorded videos.

Seeing some fluctuation on playback is normal and has to do with the way the video playback works. You only need to worry about what your encoder bitrate is set to :)

That has nothing to do with trolling, it is only a hint how this works in the background and how you can get the max quality out of a plattform. Even though Twitch works after the last changes they made with 20 mbit/s bitrate fine, so streamlink is only needed by viewers that are with a ISP that have a bad peering with Twitch.
