I have spent a few hours googling and trying to get OBS to stream to Facebook Live. I always end up with:

16:11:02.656: RTMP_Connect0, failed to connect socket: unknown error (65)
16:11:02.656: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Connection to rtmp://rtmp-api.facebook.com:80/rtmp/ failed: -2

I also tried youtube, same result. My Mac is connected to the router with a ethernet cable.

I have tried:
Safari
Chrome (incognito as well)
multiple attempts with difference keys
using my iPhone as a wifi hotspot and going over AT&Ts network
rebooting router
putting my Mac in the DMZ and disabling all firewalls
verified my broadcast setting conform to Facebook API

Attached is the log of me most recent try with FB.

Thank you. That's got it.

For anyone who comes across this thread, more recent versions of Mac OS X on some systems (I'm on 10.10.5 MacPro) do not have an option to disable ipv6 in the TCP/IP panel of the ethernet connection. There is only Manually, Automatic and Link-local.

Chose Link-local.

Thanks again!
