Custom encoder settings for YouTube streaming

[crazyhelmet]

I already have a list of options to set in obs, but it's not making any difference, even if I set options to lower the quality because that would be much easier to see the difference than trying to achieve a too 1% quality.
Is there a special way to set these option?
Is there a way to debug or read a log of my stream to see what options and arguments are being applied?

I'm using Nvidia nvenc h.264 with a 3070

I can provide with further screenshots but not right now

Look into the Menu Help→Logfiles. After a recording or streaming session, you will see corresponding entries in the logfile, including the applied encoder settings. The only exception is custom ffmpeg output - this is not being logged in detail.

I did not get it to work. Tried a lot of different settings, nothing really seems to work.

This is extreme settings, I know, but even with lower settings it doesnt work, Im just trying to push it.

latest logfile presented
encoder settings string: "preset=11 tune=4 profile=2 rc=0 level=62 rc-lookahead=60 2pass=true no-scenecut=true forced-idr=true b_adapt=false spatial-aq=true nonref_p=true strict_gop=true aq-strength=15 coder=cabac"

You're trying to set x264 encoder options, however you're using the nvenc-h264 encoder. This will not work. The hvenc-h264 encoder has its own different set of options.
Since you're trying to copy options you don't understand from some random place, with unknown purpose, I propose you just use the defaults without any special options. You don't need any special options. Without you actually knowing what each option will change for your video, I propose you use simple output mode and just set the bitrate according to your internet connection. Everything else is set automatically with optimized settings already - optimized by the OBS devs in years of experience with OBS and encoding.

These settings don't work here. Don't try to point them out. Just switch to advanced broadcast settings.
In addition, these are settings for x264

If you want to experiment, it looks like this

ffmpeg -h encoder=h264_nvenc

ffmpeg -h encoder=h264_nvenc. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
