Could not Connect to server - Facebook Live

[dannyrodcam]

Today, I was unable to connect to Facebook after installing the OBS update 31.1.0 on my Mac (OS). I had to roll back to version 31.0.4, which worked. Now I have turned off automatic updates because they are not reliable.

Auto updates has ALWAYS been risky, with any vendor, and OBS Studio is no different. And with Free, Open-Source software, the onus being on end-user to test is assumed (otherwise you'd be paying for a QA team). Further, due to 3rd party plugins, which of course are NOT tested by OBS Studio dev team as part of a release process, if you use ANY plugins, it is up to you to either check with each and every single plugin developer before upgrading, or test yourself. That has been true for last 5 years, and I'd bet since day 1.
And there have been reports for MANY months (this thread being one of them), unrelated to new release about Facebook changing bank-end stream connections (protocol security measures), and their /live/Producer page causing issues

So, a new release not playing well with a moving target... not surprising... other reports indicate others having same issue

However, what the OBS Studio developers would benefit from is more details, as within Facebook there are Scheduled vs Ad-Hoc Events, and there are MANY config options within each of those. And then there is configuring some of that from within OBS Studio on more recent releases, vs configuring yourself within FB's Live/Producer... every single one of those variables can potentially be a separate issue

Having the Can't Connect To Server on Facebook Live. Only fix was to go back to 31.0.4.

This is the Windows support forum.
Anyway, you may want to update to the latest version of OBS, 31.1.1
