Here is a log from 2 days ago: http://pastebin.com/eWgX8qks


I have tried around with x264 vs Quicksync but the viewers didn't noticed any difference
I have tried presets default & fast
I have tried Bitrate 6000, 5000, 3500, 3000

As i was reading this forum :) i used "Gamesource" as scenesource and not screencapturing , the resolution i play is 1920x1080 (capped @ 60FPS due to vsync and my 60Hz monitor). the game is world of warcraft. The Resolution scaling in the videooptions is 1.50 (1280x720)

When i used the log-analyzer tool it said to me that my bitrate is maybe too high and that i maybe should use another server which gives me 2 questions:

the recomendet bitrate when playing 1080 is 3500 ... my possible upload is much higher and i thought the better the upstream is , the better everything is... not much into this technical stuff, only very basic knowledge

I did a check in xsplit and it told me "Frankfurt > all" so i selected frankfurt, which is afaik one of the bigges internetexchangespots in europe

oh, my stream is: http://www.twitch.tv/yuko_none (but there are no archived videos, i forgot to check the new "archive videos automaticaly" box.

The closer you get to 2000 bitrate the less likely it is people will have lag. 6000 is pretty insane for streaming on Twitch. 3500 is about the max we generally recommend people use, but even then lots of people (especially in EU) will have trouble watching at those bitrates.

The only real solution for stream lag complaints are to try other servers to possibly get a better connection, or lower bitrate.

thx for the tipp, i will try to set bitrate at 2000 and use amsterdam for tonight and of course use the recording feature of twitch so i can see it later myself. It's a bit hard to check low connection problems when sitting on 150 mbit downstream
