Question / Help Elgato HD60 stuttering help.

[bcstream]

Hello all. Ive been using OBS to stream now for a few months and havent really had to many issues ( once I learned what I was doing :) ). I just recently purchased an elgato HD60 to start streaming consoles games. I started streaming Black Ops 3 and noticed some stuttering going on. Everything looks crisp and clean, but its just not as smooth as I was hoping for. Im sure there is some changes I can make to OBS to help, just not sure what those changes are. I'll post a log and any other info you might need just let me know.

I do see that all of it didnt copy. I tried to fix that but the forums tell me the post is to long, am I doing that wrong?

EDIT: Found how to upload. Sorry about that

Try enabling aero in windows.

 

[bcstream]

I think its about the same. Still getting some stuttering, picture quality is still great though.

 

[Harold]

Did you try switching to x264?

 

[bcstream]

Yes, played around with both to see if I could get better results. Both appeared to produce the same stuttering while trying to stream. Would moving up to 16G of RAM help with stream quality at all, on either PC gaming or console?

 

[Harold]

No.

It could be because you're trying to stream a 30fps source at 60fps.

Also, quality per bitrate is worse with nvenc, so you should not stream with it.

Thanks for the help this far, I do appreciate it. I did move around the FPS of the stream, got the same results. Not to sure what you mean by the "quality of the bitrate"?

 

[Harold]

quality PER bitrate.

A 2000kbit video encoded with x264 will pretty much always look better than one encoded with nvenc.

 

[bcstream]

Ah, I see. Any other thoughts that might smooth out the stream ?

Hi,

I see that in the log it says

Use buffering: true - 80000000.

Please make sure that the buffering checkbox is checked and there is a 1 in the text box. Let me know if that helps.

Looking around OBS Im not sure what setting your talking about. Where would I look for that? And thanks for the help here :)

Right click on the Elgato source, then click on properties. There you will see the option for buffering.

I see, thank you. I changed that but stream seems to be stuttering.
