Bug Report Auto-Streaming?

[jollydan]

I have been trying to set up scenes so I can be ready for streaming, but OBS starts streaming as soon as I open it up, and I press stop streaming but it goes right back to streaming. I tried to completely to delete my stream key but it just keeps making new windows appearing that it couldn't connect over and over again. And the streams ARE connecting because I can see them in my previous streams... I even uninstalled it and it still did does it!

Do you have a hotkey set to start streaming?

What you're looking for is to hit "Preview Stream". This doesn't send out any data, but lets you see what the stream would look like, and you can hit Edit Scene and move stuff around as needed.

No, I click Preview Stream, and it starts to actually stream, which I know it is streaming because it's in my past broadcasts.

Note to future searchers: jollydan did indeed find that he had a hotkey set that he was accidentally pressing after he started the stream, which was causing the stream to stop.
