Hello my name is brandonplaysbr (on twitch). I use obs studio to stream and i would like to say that it indeed does work. All of a sudden everytime i click start stream it would start but still show offline on twitch. I made sure the streaming service was on twitch and i reset my key and verified it is the right stream key. Please help me!

Live streaming is up to 30 seconds behind real time. Start streaming, wait like a minute then refresh your twitch page if it is still offline post a log

14:38:37.329: [x264 encoder: 'streaming_h264'] custom settings: opencl=true scenecut=0

why do you have your x264 options set to this? delete opencl=true from these options and if you are still having an issue post a new log

Thanks so much for the help! My setting is like that because I saw someone added that on a youtube video for "best obs settings".

You're welcome. The thing is since we all have different hardware and all have different wants/needs the "best" settings are different for everyone.
Glad I could Help!

1. Update OBS
2. Your CPU is weak which is causing the lag. Your probably gonna have to decrease the resolution for a smooth stream. A Pentium N3520 is just not gonna cut it for live video encoding. I'd recommend trying 480p (854x480) at 25fps. Might even have to go lower. Also you might want to decrease your bitrate that would also help.

Hmm I still think I need lower settings. Any recommendations? Also game capture seems to bring lag more then something like window capture (which is broken now)

just keep lowering your resolution. Try 360p next (640x360)

actually probably using quicksync encoder might help. I think its enabled on your cpu.

That system isn't suited to running OBS. I suspect it stays close to maxed out just from running Minecraft alone.
