Question / Help Help, i'm streaming like i've doubled my upload speed?!

[SvenTheSin]

I'm not a native english speaker and even in my native tongue it would be hard for me to describe the problem. Therefor i've exported one minute of my twitch stream on youtube (i hope that's ok) which shows exactly what is happening and what i can't fix on my own.

In words: Well it seems like OBS is sending the data to fast?! (Yes i have also lots of frame/package lost now). And Twitch is all filthy like "oh yeah gimmi more of that!" and so it seems like i stream everything in double speed. Actually i've no idea what i might have changed. I have a strong guess that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha is to blame here but it's only a guess because that happend after i was streaming Stalker yesterday.

If you need any further information please request the needed information.

Thank you!

OBS: 0.657b
OS: Windows 7 (64bit and up to date)

Edit: Tested with a different Broadcasting tool, everything worked fine.

Edit2: Uninstalled and reinstalled OBS without saving profiles ect. pp. Still got the problem.

That is what a buffer is for.

Post your obs log

Hi,
thank you so far for both postings i will post a log. I think i've tryed to set a buffer allready and it wasn't necessary before but i'll give it another try later.

Max Bitrate is at 2500 (Kbit/s) and i will set the Buffer also to 2500 (Kbit).

I've got a lot of these in the log

EDIT: With Max Bitrate is at 2500 (Kbit/s) and no Buffer and Scene buffering time set to 700 still sync problems.

>23:40:52: Audio timestamp for device 'Eingang (4- Saffire 6 USB 2.0)' was behind target timestamp by 710

Max Bitrate is at 2500 (Kbit/s) and i will set the Buffer also to 2500 (Kbit) and Scene buffering time set to 700 still sync problems with the audio.

With Max Bitrate is at 2500 (Kbit/s) and i will set the Buffer also to 2500 (Kbit) and Scene buffering time set to 400 still sync problems, same (see log).

You're getting a bunch of audio timestamp errors because your scene buffering time is set incorrectly. Try it at the default value if 700 instead of 400.

 

[Harold]

Scene buffering should be at 700.

Have you tried with OBS Studio?

 

[SvenTheSin]

The first log is with Scene buffering 700

The second log is with Scene buffering 400 i just played with it to see if this fix it (it dosn't).

 

[Sapiens]

Please don't play with settings if you don't know what they do, it will only cause problems.

 

[SvenTheSin]

I only test out and set things back to the last value after the test but yes in this case it is maybe confusing so i'll keep that in mind. My settings should be pretty normal btw. and are optimized by twitch settings.

I streamd about 1 month and this suddenly happend without i've chaged anything by myself on the settings. I guess it is an OBS problem because i tested streaming with an other streaming programm which send out the audio normal (so i don't think it's a driver problem).

I'm a littlebit helpless and frustrated because i can't figger it out on my own yet.

 

[SvenTheSin]

Maybe i've fixed it.

>1.) Open a command prompt as administrator, then execute this command: bcdedit /set useplatformclock true
>2.) Restart your computer, go in to bios and check for an "HPET" or "High Precision Event Timer" option, and enable it. If it's not there, that's fine.
>3.) Try OBS again.

It seems that this worked for me.
