Hi there,
Sorry if there's a thread around about that, I've searched extensively and could not come up with a solution.
I am currently using OBS 28.0.3
I've been streaming so far OK on twitch with no dropped frames and green bitrate and everything's been smooth. I installed that plug-in ( https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases/ ) since I wanted to multistream on Youtube as well. I've set the plug-in accordingly, everything works kind of, but there's that red bitrate every time I start the plug-in to start streaming simultaneously on Twitch and Youtube. I mean, starting the YT stream with the plug-in just triggers a drop in frames and an orange/red bitrate warning.
My upload speed is 100 mpbs on contract and in reality - testing it with multiple tools - hovers around 85 mpbs.
I am a total scrub on twitch and have no affiliate contracts and whatever and can only stream up to 6k. 1920x1080, nothing too fancy.
Doing the simple math, my upload should be more than enough for doing both streams. I know I am sending twice that 6k signal , but still ... ?
I've tried a lot of stuff, from adding OBS to firewall exceptions, to fiddling with bitrates, to adjusting almost every option out there, switching servers and disabling almost everything ( not that I have much except just a simple chat ) - sometimes it might just work in the green area for a bit, but would start lagging soon and people are telling me the stream is messed up. Eventually, the VODS themselves seem pretty ok and it's like it's a network thing and not the system / GPU lagging or something like that - so there's no evidence of that happening on the VODS, or at least I haven't seen.
So, tl;dr - starting the plugin craps connectivity and shoots me into red bitrate with Twitch becoming laggy.
What I haven't tried though is switching from YT being my main account connected to OBS and having Twitch as the second output. And I haven't actually tried streaming to YouTube only. I will try that today, but here's a few logs that can shed light on the matter, I hope.
The one from Nov.3 , a 4-ish hour long one has the activation of the plugin during the first minute where the red bitrate spikes. I then disable it, so if there's anything - it should be fairly visible as a result?
The second one from Nov.2 is a with both streams going on for 2 hours with constant spikes and red bitrates.
Again, sorry if that's been resolved someplace else, I could not find a fix on these forums.
