Question / Help Encoding overload when playing OW and having WoW queue in background..Specs should be able to handle it.

[dullennn]

I'm getting heavy encoding overload. I've played around with all recommended changes and nothing changes. I simply had WoW in the background sitting in queue...and playing Overwatch as well. Here are the logs for the stream.

22:09:22.912: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 6827 (0.8%)
22:09:22.912: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 16 (0.0%)
22:09:22.913: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 7081/881882 (0.8%)

That's heavy encoding lag? Perhaps this isn't the right logfile.

That’s the log file for my stream that day. I only had Overwatch and WoW open for about 30 minutes of the stream, and than closed OW to continue for 8 hours. I’ll test it tonight after work and post the file.

Seems there is more there as well when you look at it...

22:09:22.912: Output 'simple_stream': Total frames output: 881850 (881866 attempted) 16 frames missed
22:09:22.912: Output 'simple_stream': Total drawn frames: 875082 (881909 attempted) 6,827 frame difference
22:09:22.912: Output 'simple_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 6827 (0.8%)
22:09:22.912: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 16 (0.0%)
22:09:22.913: Video stopped, number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 7081/881882 (0.8%)

Also seems like your using the Nvenc encoder? With your processor you could easily use the h.264 for encoding, but if not need to change the Psycho to disabled

13:59:25.925: [jim-nvenc: 'simple_h264_stream'] settings:
13:59:25.925: rate_control: CBR
13:59:25.925: bitrate: 4000
13:59:25.925: cqp: 20
13:59:25.925: keyint: 60
13:59:25.925: preset: llhq
13:59:25.925: profile: high
13:59:25.925: width: 1280
13:59:25.925: height: 720
13:59:25.925: 2-pass: false
13:59:25.925: b-frames: 2
13:59:25.925: lookahead: false
13:59:25.925: psycho_aq: true

Might help?

Sorry it’s such a late reply. Work has been so hectic I can barely stream. Will definitely try this and let you know! Thank you so much
