Question / Help Black Screen on Twitch but not on OBS

Hi,
When I preview the stream on OBS there's no problem, it shows what it's supposed to.
Then I start the stream, still showing the right thing on OBS.
On twitch it says that I'm live, I get audio, but a blackscreen.
I didn't find any solution so far, most of the black screen issues are OBS blackscreens, but that's not my case...

I believe this is one.
your settings are for local recording not streaming. Please when you see a guide, pay attention to what it is for

Code:
14:37:50: Scene buffering time set to 400
14:37:50: Using custom x264 settings: "crf=0"
14:37:50: Failed to set x264 profile: main
14:37:50: x264: VBV maxrate specified, but no bufsize, ignored
14:37:50: x264: MB rate (489600) > level limit (245760)
14:37:50: ------------------------------------------
14:37:50: Video Encoding: x264
14:37:50:     fps: 60
14:37:50:     width: 1920, height: 1080
14:37:50:     preset: veryfast
14:37:50:     profile: main
14:37:50:     keyint: 120
14:37:50:     CBR: yes
14:37:50:     CFR: no
14:37:50:     max bitrate: 1000
14:37:50:     buffer size: 0


Use these settings:
scene buffering 700ms
remove the custom x264 setting of crf=0
set fps to 30
set your video downscale to 1280x720
set bitrate to 2500
set buffer to 2500


Make the above changes then restart OBS and stream for 5 minutes or more then post that current logfile
