Question / Help Bufferingproblems

[eqlzr]

Hi!

So I'm having this strange problem that I can't really figure out. I'm having 100/100 mbit, so streaming at high bit rates shouldn't be a problem. But it is. When trying to set the bit rate to more than 2k the streams starts to buffer a couple of seconds every minute. Even more often the more i raise the bit rate. The little box in the bottom right corner also starts to pulse between green and yellow indicating that something isn't working as intended.

When running speedtest everything looks good and i'm getting the speed i'm supposed to, so the problem isn't in my connection.

Would really appreciate som help here.

If you are streaming to Twitch, and especially if you are European, this is pretty much normal. Yesterday I was unable to watch even my 1200Kbps test stream without major buffering issues. While you may have 100/100, there is no guarantee that the connection between you and the ingest server you have chosen can sustain anywhere near those speeds, or that the connection between you and the server feeding you the video through the player can either.
