Question / Help Dropped frames - cant pinpoint problem

Hi there,

incredibly new to streaming on twitch and to OBS in general. I've followed several youtube tutorials on how to setup your Elgato HD 60 flawlessly on OBS but I am still dropping frames (despite OBS telling me I'm not?). Wondering if it's an issue with my capture card or my settings are right. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!


I've included my latest log from a test stream that i've done. Also my download speed is: 33.55 MBPS and my upload speed is: 11.33 MBPS

Terribly sorry if this is a thread you've seen more than once but I've tried everything out there. :/

THANK YOU !!

What makes you think you're dropping frames if OBS isn't reporting them?

thanks for replying! :) i'm only assuming its the problem after having a friend watch the stream. audio cutting randomly and it skips parts in the game. guessing its not the case from what you can see?
 
A single, small log file might not be enough, show us more OBS log files, preferably when your stream skips frames?

If streaming to Twitch, go to Twitch settings, channel, and turn on archive broadcast. After streaming for some time, past broadcast can be viewed.

Change that to 700.

22:18:19: CFR: no

Turn that on / yes.

Otherwise, statistics look good but can't really tell because your logged streams are all very short, a minute or less. Try streaming for at least five minutes, especially where the problems occur, and post that log file.

hey there! So I did the changes you mentioned and still seems off. What's weird is I downloaded XSplit (being throrough here..) and the video seemed to be fine, but here's a new longer log to look at

https://gist.github.com/40f468b3b48d9da4d028

I really do appreciate it! Thanks again :)
 
Is that the right log file? Longest stream was only 3 mins or so and the other two changes weren't made.

Edit: Checked your VOD and your character was just standing there. Make sure to make it at least five minutes of high-action gameplay. You want OBS to log something close to a worst case scenario, and motion is hard on video encoding, lack of motion is easy.
