Question / Help Dropped Frames (network) Please Help

[benthe6th]

I am trying to get into streaming but cannot seem to get the setting right, i have a 35/35 fibre line and the PC Specs are as follows:

1070ti
ryzen 5 2600
16GB of ram
M.2 ssd

i am trying to stream at 720p at 60FPS and i keep getting Dropped Frames (network) but 0% frames missed due to rendering lag and 0% frames skipped due to encoding lag. can anyone help me fix it please

Got the exact same problem (with Mixer), here are my logs: https://obsproject.com/logs/c53NUdVMAAfyY41_
This is the problem for me: [45267973] resent sn 1730, request delay was 154 ms, was part of iframe? 1

Hope it's okay that I answer here, otherwise I open a new thread.

On my side this doesn't help at all. I'm not sure what streaming service benthe6th use, but I use mixer in FTL mode. I only get this messages in this mode, on twitch I don't have any problems.

What does "[45267973] resent sn 1730, request delay was 154 ms, was part of iframe? 1" mean in OBS?

Those are debug logs from the Mixer FTL protocol. Perhaps you could switch to RTMP to avoid issues.

I just don't understand why nearly everyone is able to stream with a slower internet connection and pc but with FTL. The most strange thing is, that I sometime can Stream (from nearly 30 tries maybe 3 worked without drops)..

btw. I'm in contact with mixer since several days and it looks like they don't know what's the problem neither, they asked me to try xsplit..

I don't think your issue is the line you pasted, it's these lines:

19:04:25.108: Queue an average of 54.51 fps (5357.0 kbps), sent an average of 53.02 fps (5179.4 kbps), queue fullness 49, max frame size 146000
19:04:25.241: [3] Got key frame, continuing (dropped 198 frames)

This would appear to indicate that your connection cannot maintain your selected bitrate without dropping frames.

 

[NothingTV]

But that doesn't make any sense, I mean in the log you also see a speedtest of over 14000 kbps. And when I stream to Twitch with the same bitrate (7,5k) I don't have any issues..

It is absolutely possible to get widely varying performance results from different streaming providers, as well as to different ingest servers at those providers.

An OBS speed test uses Twitch, as does the TwitchTest application, but those are testing 1) your connection to Twitch, and, to the extent that it is inclusive of that connection, 2) your last mile connection. It's absolutely possible to have a much worse connection to another provider, as well as for connection quality and speeds to vary with time.
