Im lost

[kristinabutler23]

I recently started streaming again on twitch and my first 2 streams were fine, no frame drops no losing connection and i streamed close to 8 hours those 2 streams each. Now when i stream within an hour my frames start to drop my kbps drops to 0 and i get attempting to reconnect mutliple times.

speed test : 373.18 download and 11.40 upload

i dont know what im doing wrong, if its JUST my internet sucks or what. My settings are 2000 kbps, audio bitrate is 192 my video encoder is x264. When i test my stream in test mode everything is perfect, but when i stream it drops. Its so embarrassing and idk how to fix it.

Speed test don't measure rtmp protocol which is the protocol used for streaming.
Please use this app

TwitchTest |r1ch.net

Test your upload bandwidth and connection quality to Twitch

r1ch.net

Anything bellow 90 quality is bad and most probaly an issue on the ISP.
Also, a log file from a test stream is needed.

are you on a wired or wireless connection (either WiFi or cellular internet)? if wireless, throughput, by design vary over time
and some wired ISP can have bandwidth contention (congestion) at times (just like a freeway)
is you streaming computer the ONLY network device in you LAN (home? no smart devices, no other computers, etc) if like most people there are many other networked devices in a typical residence... and you compete with those other devices for bandwidth

And then there is the possibility that somethign is running in the background on your PC that is causing the issue

i am hard wired into the gaming router, there are at least 8 other devices connected. I think it just may be my internet because even not streaming ill disconnect from the internet playing games

you need to have some real-time monitoring in place on LAN and WAN link, otherwise you are doing the equivalent of driving blind-folded
