Issues with 24/7 livestream.

[btempyy]

Hey all,

Just set up a 24/7 livestream for a group I am working with. The flow of equipment is as follows:

Ubiquiti G5 Pro camera > Ubiquiti 8-Port Switch > Ubiquiti CloudKey+ for RTMP output > RTMP Media Source in OBS, running on a mini PC > YouTube

My main concern is the stream seems to disconnect due to issues after a while, sometimes 12 hours, sometimes two. I've reviewed the rest of the setup and everything else seems to be okay, so I'm not sure what's going on. What I have been able to note is that after I see the livestream is down, and I remote in, OBS states that it is connected to YouTube and streaming with no issue. However, when I go onto YouTube, it isn't detecting OBS at all. I have attached a log file from the most recent time.

If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, they are much welcome.

Your network connection to the server is dropping out. That's repeated multiple times in the logfile. Unfortunately I'm not sure if YouTube allows retrying/re-connecting to a stream when the connection fails, or if an entire new stream needs to be set up each time. IIRC they don't outright reject a sent stream without setup, so even though OBS is sending it and thinks everything is fine after the reconnect, their servers aren't making it available to the wider world.

But yeah, your network connection is the issue.
