I hope OPS studio can add the feature to restart the stream when the Internet goes down for a few seconds.

1) Disable Game DVR
2) Disable HAGS
4) Determine the correct audio bit-rate & set everything accordingly. You seem to like switching back & forth
3) According to this your encoding H264 not H265 so why are you using HLS? I never tested it but since you seem to be the only user having trouble with the reconnect, this might be the issue possibly.

Maybe you can try with one stream and see how it behaves when the internet goes down. Instead of waiting for the hiccup just disconnect your OBS system and reconnect and see how it behaves

In such a rather complex/atypical setup it can be difficult to find the root cause of your problem.

My approach (over the last 45 yrs as an IT guy ;)) would be to reduce the number of potential failure sources to identify the root cause.
As said in my experience OBS does a reconnect if the connection is lost for a short time.

If the issues are down to OBS not being able to handle the 3 parallel streams correctly:
  1. get yourself Virtual Box for free
  2. setup 3 separate virtual machines with OBS
  3. setup each OBS for one of your camera streams
just an idea...

So what I've done now is moved two of my cameras back to Camstreamer that's a very reliable setup it streams directly from the camera to YouTube via Camstreamer and that's fine I don't have any overlays or anything on them I don't need them on the OBS server, and I know those two streams will never go down again. So with that done I'm not running my streams in multi mode anymore I'm just running my one main stream with all my overlays on the OBS server so we'll see if that fixes the reconnect issue.

Reconnecting to YT stream works for me just fine. I have a sometimes flakey WIFI which goes down every now and then. But so far OBS always was able to reconnect to the stream.

Looking at your error messages this looks more like an issue of your system rather than OBS.

Do you use the YouTube login or the Stream Key? I am using the Stream Key, just wondering if that is the issue.

Thank you, and Cox Internet is all there is in this neighborhood, I have pink platter running 24/7 and there is a truck in the neighborhood all day every day helping to keep the Internet going because I call them every day and right now I have a $750 credit on my Internet, so don't go down that road I'm doing all I can there. I have a business connection with 8 static IP'S 200mb's down and 50 mb's up. No fiber here.

Game DVR is not installed. but i did go into the registry and there was one setting there (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore) and I set that to zero.

well I was using stream key and it never reconnected so I just switched over to the login using the broadcast and we'll see if that fixes the reconnect issue?

And I'm just curious you said you did IT, I'm just curious of what IT you did 45 years ago? When I started 33 years ago it was on a 386 computer I loaded 3 floppies for Windows operating system. Internet was just getting started with dialup. I'm just curious of what you did IT wise 45 years ago?

I am also on Cox Internet (and have been for 20+ years, back to original @Home days)... interesting that Internet (IP) is relatively stable, but Cox DNS has been completely unreliable for a couple of months, for me ... stopped responding (briefly, but enough to lose connections, streaming TV, etc) yesterday night 3-4 times (... I'm aware of pointing to alternate DNS providers, also know why that isn't necessarily a good thing, but I'm getting pretty close... So happy local municipality has partnered with a new company to bring fiber optic to residences in entire city... fingers crossed it won't be too long before I can get something better than Cox cable Internet, at a reasonable price). Despite other's experiences, my Cox Internet connection has been pretty reliable for MANY years... these DNS issues are new for me

Oh, and I started in IT 40 yrs ago with a portable (suitcase) 8088 (DOS 1.x on 5.25" floppy) with a 10cps daisywheel (as so much better quality than 9-pin dot matrix printers), with prior experience in school was trash TRS-80 and Commodore PET using cassette tapes. 45 years ago... not PC client/server, but plenty of Mainframes (less powerful than today's smartphone), Mini's and other such (with the aforementioned early PCs in the early 80s. IBM PC XT with 5MB HDD and early color screens available to regular consumers in '83?? ... from memory)
33 years ago, I started at a large company and had the benefit of knowing how, and access to, a T-1 lines largely to myself after-hours... back when you could scan Yahoo's new Internet website listing (globally) daily/weekly and check out most every new site in about an hour or less

nice thanks for the info. Yeah when I started 33 years ago office networking was BNC and boy did that suck.

So Cox was just here and we swapped out the modem again. We did find a discrepancy on the one that was here having the wrong power supply. So we swapped the modem and the power supply hopefully that solves the modem going down three times in the past two months never had that problem before just Internet issues. As far as Cox and the reliability I have to agree it's very reliable but as you know coax is a terrible system and there tends to be a lot of noise on it and it causes a lot of problems all the time, and mainly for me because I use so much upstream. I'm the only one in the neighborhood that uses this much upstream so I always find the problems. Downstream is never an issue they have way more channels. I cannot wait till they get fiber here.

But it's RG11 straight from the box out front to the house and there's no splitters it goes from that RG11 to an RG6 right to the modem.

And now that I have just the one stream going on the OBS server and I have it using my YouTube account and broadcast, and not the stream key, when the modem came back up everything connected automatically, yay!!!!
