I'm hoping someon can help me with this.

When using OBS, sometimes it works for me. Sometimes it says "Failed to connect to server"

So I try it another two or three times, and sometimes it works.

**

And now I have a new problem. I hit the "start streaming" button. The green light comes on. Everything seems to be working. But the stream is not showing up on my YouTube channel. Nothing.

Then I shut it down and try again. And it doesn't work.

Then I shut it down and try again and it says "failed to connect to server."

Then I shut it down and try again, and it works. The livestream shows up on my YouTube channel, and everything is fine.

So that particular test was successful. Then I shut it down to try to test it again to see if it will work two consecutive times ... and it fails. The green light is on, all systems seem to be working, but the livestream doesn't show up on my YouTube channel.

I've tested about 12 times tonight. Two or three have worked. Four or five have resulted in the green light coming on, but it's not working on my youtube channel. The other times, it says "failed to connect to server."

**

I have had the "failed to connect to server" problems a few times in the past.

But this is the first time I've had issues in which the green light comes on, things seem to be working, but nothing shows up on my YouTube channel.

Anyone have any idea what the heck is going wrong for me?

**

I have a different stream key than I had in previous weeks. The thing changed for me on youtube for some reason. So I typed in the new one, and I get the same result. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I'm an idiot on this stuff.

Anyone have any suggestions or solutions or prayers for me?

UPDATE: now i can't even get the green light to come on.
