Question / Help Dropped Frames (Twitch & Youtube)

[dsr07mm]

Hey

I'm pretty sure that I had this problem before my overclock on i7 4770k but I need to confirm this.

I have stable inet connection of 125/5 (4.96 upload 99% of the time). I'm streaming with 3300 bitrate, on both youtube and twitch and I always have dropped frames (300-600) per hour or two.

This is latest log where I had 250 dropped frames in 70 min session on youtube.

Can someone perhaps find some info in this log and confirm that issue is from inet side ? I also hear that people are switching to Windows 7 during last couple months to avoid dropped frames so I'm kinda worried now. I'm streaming on 3300 bitrate/buffer, veryfast preset, nothing to high there, cpu usage is low (under 80% usage on highest used core) in both for example South Park and Call of Duty Advanced Warfare.

I've been having a similar issue while streaming to Twitch lately. I would recommend reading this link if you haven't, and if you have I would recommend mentioning that you have before someone who can help gets to reading this:

I'll also note that I have this issue despite having Windows 7, so while that could be the issue I'm not so sure.

Good luck though, hopefully you can find an answer. I'll certainly be following this thread to see if I can get something out of it.

Yeah I've checked that thread already since I'm around these forums for quite some time. Unfortunately nothing helps from there, so I could only assume that might be something with my region. Not sure where is YouTube main and only server though. Weird, hope that someone more experianced from my log can tell me what is the issue.

Dropped frames area always a connection issue. You could try running shaperprobe to see what your speed is.

 

[dsr07mm]

DiffProbe release. January 2012. Build 1008.
Shaper Detection Module.

Connected to server 80.239.168.215.

Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 4957 Kbps.
Downstream: greater than 200 Mbps.

The measurement will take upto 3.5 minutes. Please wait.

Checking for traffic shapers:

Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 4853 Kbps.

Downstream: Burst size: 12424-14669 KB;
Shaping rate: 88965 Kbps.

So according to this upload is always stable even though I get a lot of dropped frames lately, it's impossible to stream. Download have some shappering rate seems like but when I'm downloading stuff its going on 10-11mb/s since its 120/5 speed and that is expected. Also watching 3-4 streams in source at the same time is not a problem. Not sure what to do. Signals on my modem for upstream:

Power Level:
Channel 1:38.5 dBmV
Channel 2:38.5 dBmV
Channel 3:39.0 dBmV
Channel 4:0.0 dBmV

Also I just did "analyzing" of latest log:

I'm from Serbia, Amsterdam and London are alternatives with 60ms latency, Germany is with 40ms. This is log from Amsterdam and it says that I had 800ms latency.. I streamed at 3000bitrate and upload is stable at 4.96 but despite that red colour in bottom right corner at around 3000 bitrate and fps drops are regular thing :(

Another EDIT: Log is showing that I was using 30fps VeryFast preset while I was using 45fps Faster preset in CSGO. Even page or first link is showing that I was using slower preset..is perhaps OBS broken ? Any ideas ? Wouldnt like to reinstall everything. PC is full with small plugins and things for recording/stream.

They increased dBmV from other city (software work I guess on modem) to 41/42 on both download and upload bandwith.

Although now in DiffProbe I'm getting Burst size which I never had on upstream. Is this normal ?

Upstream: Burst size: 7448-7499 KB;
Shaping rate: 3584 Kbps.
