Question / Help Frame drops/Buffer errors

dramabomb · Jan 24, 2013

Hello, I wanted to make a new thread for this since my old one was getting off topic. Recently, I've been experiencing some major issues streaming and I'm not sure if it's OBS or Twitch being terrible.

Log of my most recent stream:

As you can see, there are some issues. I have tried two different gigabit routers, no router at all, multiple versions of OBS, and I've even tried XSplit/FFSplit, all resulting in the same exact issue. This has been happening for a few days now. I've tried multiple bitrate settings, same issue.

I have more than enough Internet, so could someone shed some light on this? It's becoming a real issue for me and my viewers, as it's breaking up the VOD page into several 2-5 minute long videos as the stream disconnects/reconnects. Personally, I think it's a Twitch/Comcast problem and out of my hands, but I am always open to suggestions from all you helpful people on these forums. :D

All i can say its twitch and own3d issue, i been having alot of frame drops with twitch lately and own3d.tv doesnt seem be better.
Only thing that been fine is livestream's swedish servers.

My connection is 100M/10M and Speedtest gets me around 8M speeds to Netherlands from Finland.
PC is i7 3770k, 16gig ram and gtx680.

Downloaded the latest stable test, same issue. I am at my wit's end. I have a brand new router, ASUS RT-N66R. It is not on my end. Please someone help before I just give up streaming.

Hmm, the log files has some new logging info that was probably included in the test version, but I'm not certain what it means. Maybe Jim or R1CH could interpret it?

Grimio · Feb 1, 2013

It still looks like you need to lower your bitrate. Try something extremely low like 1000/1000 and go up from there.

dramabomb · Feb 1, 2013

I've done 3500/3500 just fine a few weeks ago.

alex_bababu · Feb 1, 2013

I had similar issues. CBR or VBR with low latency mode helped!

It's x264 stuff.

Anyway, have you called your ISP and asked them what's up? It's possible they are throttling stream data. If it's happening with all programs, it is definitely some sort of connection issue but not necessarily on your end.

dramabomb · Feb 2, 2013

I spoke to them multiple times and they confirmed no packet shaping. Shaper Probe returns the same results.

I know people get upset here when you bring up other streaming programs, but I am able to stream using the new version of XSplit at 3500bitrate, Quality 10/60FPS with no issues for hours on end. It seems that this program just stopped working for some reason. One week it was fine, the next week I was getting buffer errors with absolutely nothing changing on my end.

flavored · Feb 2, 2013

Sounds like you've upgraded to the new/beta version (but I may be wrong). Downgrade, that helped me.

dramabomb · Feb 2, 2013

Unfortunately, multiple versions of this program resulted in the same error, where just a few weeks ago, it was working fine for me. Sadly I am going to have to stop using this as I'm losing viewers. I'll revisit it later on. Thanks for the help all.

R1CH · Feb 2, 2013

Most likely your routing or available bandwidth has changed since it last worked. Did you try switching ingests?

dramabomb · Feb 3, 2013

I'm thinking you're right. I try going back and forth between VA/VA Secondary. Anything else gives me a red box.
