Hi,
i would greatly appreciate some help from the experts here, as i can't get my stream up and running. On my end everything shows perfectly and no reports of lost frames but the viewers cant watch the stream for more than 5 seconds before it starts lagging. My internet speed is 20/20 on fibre, i tried lowering everything to 30fps, lower the overall qualitiy, disable CBR, it still lags.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Lower your bitrate, for non partners using 3500 is just asking for trouble as not many people can actually watch that lag free. I know your stream looks really nice now, but you have to make compromises. I have been personally streaming 720p@30fps with around 2000 bitrate and been happy with it while allowing people to watch it.

I already tried that and accepted that i should begin streaming 720p @ 30fps, but it still lags. The best i've been able to keep it stable so far is with CBR disabled, then as long as im not in-game, the stream works. As soon as i enter the game ( LOL in my case), the stream starts lagging every couple of sec. Maybe i just have the wrong config for 720p @ 30fps, but I have already tinkered and experimented quite a bit, but as soon as i get in-game it becomes unwatchable..

Stream buffering (where the little circle pops up) is due to bitrate being too high. You have to keep dropping bitrate until it stops happening.

Some people might also just lag regardless of the bitrate, because their connection to twitch is really that bad. Sometimes my friend can't watch a 500 bitrate stream.

Thanks for both of your suggestions, i will try lowering the bitrate even further and i'll ask another friend to check out the stream and report in case lag might be behind that. Will report when i get home and try it out.

Thanks again.

Please let me know, what will work out for you in the end. I also dont want to lose out on too much of the stream quality.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. I want a watchable stream, but I also don't want it to look like poo, lol

Ok so i did what you guys said and kept lowering the bitrate, i got all the way to 1000 but the stream is still lagging.
Any other parameters i could change to fix this issue?

So after further testing i've lowered the bitrate to 900 and 1000(lags but not so frequently) and it works, but the quality is pretty bad. If i go any higher it starts lagging, but i dont understand why that is. Is it possible that this is my isp provider throttling the upload speed? Spedtest shows somewhere between 18 and 20 upload and download so by that logic it should support 2000 bitrate without any problem.

If OBS does not report any dropped frames, then it is a throughput problem between the Twitch video delivery server and the people trying to watch your stream. There's not really anything else you can do at this point.
