According to this log, you attempted to stream for 6 seconds before stopping the stream, and dropped around 60% of the frames you were trying to send.
Dropped frames are always due to a network issue.

The "fun" part about the internet is that 95% of your connection to any given server is entirely out of your control, and can change without warning at any time, if anyone in the route between your computer and the server you're connecting to makes a change or is having a problem.

I'd recommend trying streaming to Mixer with standard RTMP instead of FTL and see if it works better. Their FTL format tends to be much more sensitive to network instability from other cases like this in the past. Do be aware that sites like speedtest.net are worthless to livestreamers as far as network testing goes... they only measure the highest peak throughput rate, not the minimum constant throughput (which streaming relies on).

Thank you much!! It’ funny that you mentioned speedtest.net because that’s when I noticed a significantly low upload speed (1-3mbps) instead of the usual 15-40mpbs I get. So this has to be the culprit.

I called my ISP and they pointed the finger at my netgear router.

I’m going to try again in the morning and see what happens.

Thank you again for the reply!!!
