Hello,
I've been doing livestreams on facebook for a while with no problems but lately I've had some issues.
When I first start streaming, the bitrate seems to spike, like if I'm watching the "stream health" on FB it looks like a heart attack. Then it drops the connection for a bit (maybe 30-60 seconds) and finally reconnects and everything is fine.
I'm using a 2014 MacBook Pro. I've got a lot of settings kind of low because the CPU couldn't handle higher ones. (768x480, 24 FPS). I suspect it has something to do with my bitrate settings, but not really sure what is optimal. Not sure if it matters, but when I do the streams, I go from a still image to a 1 minute video intro to the live camera. It seems to be happening when I play the video, but today I tried without and it happened anyway.
thanks for any help.
