I'm looking for ways to improve the quality of my stream I've run into a bit of a snag, as I'm not sure what else to change to ensure the quality of movement on my stream doesn't get too blurry. I'm currently streaming State of Decay and on still images everything is fine. Even slow moving parts the quality is watchable however, when ever motion starts happening whacking zombies with a dozen or so on screen or less or rolling stream starts to get blurry.
Specs for streaming:
Mac Mini
i5-4278U 2.6GHz
8GB Ram
Intel Iris 5100
My upload is as follows:
1.8 - 1.9 Mbp/s
In OBS I've got my Max Bitrate to 1500. After streaming for 5 hours last night I lost only 4 frames. Video settings are 2.00 downscale so 960x540, Bicubic sharper filter and 30 FPS.
I use the Elgato HD capture card for capturing console games as to alleviate the stress of the PC doing all the work. I've been streaming in 480p w/ 25FPS for a while thinking my PC probably won't handle it but since increasing my upload from 1.2 to 1.8 consistently PC seems to handle these new settings quite well. My CPU usage never hits anything above 75% so I've got a bit of room to play with if need be.
Here's my latest stream so you can see how when there's movement the stream get a bit blurry. Now I am watching it back on a 24" monitor so not sure if it makes LOOK really blurry because 540p is being enlarged but making the screen smaller thus making the Twitch video playback smaller does make the stream look amazing. Just wanting to know if there are any real changes I could make to make movement less pixelated.
Here is what I believe to be the latest log by OBS of that stream.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Now I'm assuming that I may be held back by my bitrate as a higher one would ensure a clearer stream during movements. I *could* try setting it to 1600 but anything higher and I'd be passing the recommended 80% of your total bitrate for streaming rule.
