Question / Help Dropped Frames

Well recently i have noticed an increase in frame drops with my stream. My internet gives me 4.5mb upload speed.
I used to stream at 3500bitrate with 720@60fps and had no issues. Now recently i have been getting issues.
I tried going down to 30fps and 2000bit rate however i still drop frames after about 1 minutes, is that most likely an issue with my ISP?

If you're having issues with dropped frames, make sure you try all the things on this list: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8870

And make sure you try all of them...a lot of people say they try them all, but actually don't.

My shaperprobe showed no issues and i have tried all of those steps. Still start dropping frames after about 1 minute or so. Fortunately i have an engineer from my ISP coming on tuesday to take a look at it

Only a few dropped frames here, but it increases drastically the longer i keep the stream on.

You have a nice CPU and GPU. However, the evidence suggests that OBS can't encode fast enough, not that your ISP is holding you back.

19:55:42: Total frames encoded: 11346, total frames duplicated: 255 (2.25%)
19:55:42: Total frames rendered: 11117, number of late frames: 35 (0.31%) (it's okay for some frames to be late)

What are you running besides OBS? If it isn't just your game, get rid of it. What game are you playing? You might try increasing the processing priority of OBS.

I am playing League of Legends so not an intense game for me. CPU is overclocked to 4.3 but OBS doesnt say that.
Just spotify, skype, OBS and firefox. The rest i close

I have the EXACT same problem.

I have seen this problem all over forums from evga, obs, various isp providers and twitch. Have never seen a solution.

Have tried every recommendation suggested. 100d/20up, various obs settings, full rebuild, fresh installs, isp tech support, isp physically inspected, new modem, etc. Nothing.

My stream Twitch.tv/Gigasnail worked fine until Jan. 1st. For ~ a year. Personally I don't think it's an OBS issue as xsplit, fme and other broadcast software has the same issue. That being said I could be 100% wrong.

What windows service pack are you running?

Not at my PC atm so cant tell you the exact service pack, but all of my PC is up to date drivers, and OBS etc. Havent gave xsplit a try but i will just as a test.
My PC has no performance issues when streaming which is good, however frames still drop constantly which is a bit confusing to me

Yeah I have the exact same issue. I think it's a combination of something twitch has done with their servers and how it affects the different streaming programs. I have a 4mb upload speed and used to stream 2500kb all the time with no dropped frames. Now I can't even stream 1000kb with obs without still losing some frames. I posted on this same topic a few months ago with no help really except to call my ISP which wasn't even the problem. I unfortunately have to use other software now just to be able to stream close to 2500kb. It's frustrating.

I'll post this link once again before this thread spirals out of control with a thousand people saying "me too": viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8870

That is literally a 100% exhaustive list of all the things you can try to alleviate the problem of dropped frames. Lower bit rate (a lot), change servers, try other streaming services, check for throttling, make sure you're not streaming over wireless, try bypassing your router, check your router for QoS, try disabling firewalls, update network drivers...

I mean, if you have really tried all these things to their fullest degree and nothing helps, then there's nothing else we can do to help you. Dropped frames are caused by insufficient network connection to the streaming server, so the issue has to be network-related.

This has all been tested on Frankfurt, London and Amsterdam. I am from England and all servers cause similar results of dropped frames after a few minutes. This appears to occur regardless of what settings i use 60/30fps and ive tried from 1500-3500bit rate.
Any further setting alterations you recommend? Tested with xsplit free license and i was not dropping frames from that so not sure if im having a compatibility issue

I'll post this link once again before this thread spirals out of control with a thousand people saying "me too": https://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8870

That is literally a 100% exhaustive list of all the things you can try to alleviate the problem of dropped frames. Lower bit rate (a lot), change servers, try other streaming services, check for throttling, make sure you're not streaming over wireless, try bypassing your router, check your router for QoS, try disabling firewalls, update network drivers...

I mean, if you have really tried all these things to their fullest degree and nothing helps, then there's nothing else we can do to help you. Dropped frames are caused by insufficient network connection to the streaming server, so the issue has to be network-related.
Click to expand...

Yeah I tried all of those things in that thread but sadly none of them helped. I wish if possible that OBS would contact twitch and perhaps find out what server changes they have made which have affected the program so much. A lot of people who stream at 1000kb or less may not be affected that much. it's those who like to have high quality streams that are having the most issues. Hopefully one day it will be solved.

That log clearly shows you're having RTMP stalling, which means you can't push video to the streaming server fast enough over your connection to the server. Try again with a lower bit rate, and keep lowering it until it starts working.

Well I don't know what's changed the past few months When I download and upload files I get my max upload speed of 4mb which has always been plenty to stream 2500kb, I've even streamed 3000kb before without this problem. I've been having this issue with OBS since November. If I use ffsplit this does not happen but it I can only stream up to 1800Kb on that one withoug having any problems. The way OBS works for me now it will drop frames even when I've lowered it to 1000kb. I have two hard drives one with windows 7 and the other with windows 8 and they both do the same thing now with OBS. It makes no sense at all. Not sure what is causing the problem at this point.

Your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 isn't fast enough to run OBS well, certainly not at 60fps. I had one of those, and I was lucky if I could do 20fps on UltraFast.

Second, turn Constant Frame Rate back on (i.e. Yes).

Third, lower your bitrate to 1000, let it run for five minutes, and post a new log file.

Fourth, "Total frames encoded: 1353, total frames duplicated: 36 (2.66%)" - Duplicated frames means your computer isn't keeping up. You've sorta compensated by making the stream size smaller (540p), but not enough. This is irrespective of your internet not being able to handle the bitrate. Reduce the fps to 30 for starters.

Fifth, make your own thread instead of hijacking someone else's. Its likely that your two cases aren't actually that similar.

You couldn't be further wrong, I've ran it that way for months no problem in the past. cpu usage is 20% and at 720p it would be around 30%, If I use 30fps the cpu usage is only 1/2 of that. Anyway u didn't help anybody anyway so who cares what you think since u obviously don't know much about computers. Hijacking don't make me laugh. Oh yeah and btw the problem has nothing to do with the fps, it's all because of the bit rate which should not be happening.
