hi, i have been trying to stream to twitch for a few weeks now and have had lots of problems. i seem to do ok for a bit then drop frames and lag out of the stream and wow. here are my speed results. http://testmy.net/results any help would be awesome
Question / Help help with the right bit rate!!

5mbps upload are fine. 3500 is the limit that twitch wants you to use (you can go higher, but this is more than enough).
Try 3000, this is a good bitrate - people can still watch it and you have enough bandwith left to do anything like using a FullHD webcam in skype at the same time.

I would do 2500. This would allow more people with bad internet to watch your stream. Quality will be lower but its worth it.

Lag spikes in OBS or while watching your preview on twitch (live, not the recorded file)?
Twitch is laggy, you cant do anything about it, the only way is to lower the bitrate. If its OBS we have to see the logs. If you dont have any frame drops in OBS and your bitrate doesnt turn red while streaming, its not on your end. To check the stream quality check your recorded stream files on twitch [and local too, OBS is using the same settings for streaming & recording] - if you dont see any lags there, its not your problem.
2500 is fine for 720, if you stream 1080p - you want as much bandwith as possible to make it look good (but not too high, there are still people who have really bad internet).
I was streaming 1080p 30FPS with 3000 bandwith as a test. OBS was fine - 0 frame drops, green connection (3,9mbps upload) but the preview/channel video was buffering and i got some lags too.
Just play around with the bitrate - if 2500 looks fine for you, use it. Or if people complain about 3000+.

The default path is: C:/Users/YourUserName/AppData/Roaming/OBS/Logs.
Just take the last one or two where you was streaming for a while with frame drops and any problems and upload it here.
There is anything we need - your hardware & software specially so we can see what are you using.

Its easier to use the option in OBS to upload a logfile, as described here:
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97/
its very simple: In OBS select Help > Log Files > Upload last Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.
To get into the appdata folder without "unhiding" it, you can simply enter %appdata% into your explorer address field. But the OBS option is easier and does everything for you.
