Keyframes on HLS for YouTube?

[AS-3Ddruck]

I started using today HLS instead of RTMP/RTMPS for Streaming my 1440p Video.
Something i noticed is that the Keyframe Intervall is important for HLS to work right?

So i set the Service to "YouTube - HLS" and entered my "Stream Key".
After that i went to Output and set on my CBR 20000 kbps a Keyfrme Interval of "3".
This should work right?
Because sometimes i get stutters in my stream without skipping/dropping Frames.

Did i everyything right?

(I belive this was the right Logfile: https://pastebin.com/ZYZyDS5f )

Set it to 2. You will reduce latency & your stream should look better with more I Frames.

Just looked at your log, it's already @ 2 seconds not 3 as you stated.

Muxer errors & NDI is wrecking your audio too, real fast....

Yes, i guess this was before i set it to 3.
But why does my Stream still laag on the Viewer end?
Watched the Stream on my 2. Monitor and my Phone.
Booth had the exact same freezes for 1-2 Seconds.

What is that?

 

[rockbottom]

The log file appears to be truncated, all network info was removed. I suspect you're using Wi-Fi but beyond that, how the hell would I know?

 

[AS-3Ddruck]

I remove nothing.
I use Cat 6 Cables to my Router with a Gigabit Connection. (1000 Mbps Down 50 Mbps Upload)

 

[rockbottom]

For your purposes (Streaming), that Gig means nothing Jon Snow, you only have 50Mb/s upload (maybe).... Can't tell if there's an issues there cause it's not in the log.

You should try to figure out your NDI wows, fix the internal shit before you start streaming.

 

[AS-3Ddruck]

https://youtu.be/ospL3j54j3g just move to 9 min and you will see those stutters.
Bottom left is CPU usage + Upload as a Text Overlay.

So you know it is internal?!
How?

 

[rockbottom]

Your NDI is causing issues & it needs to be fixed or it's just going to wreck your stream even if you get the HLS working flawlessly.

 

[rockbottom]

Your NDI version looks new enough, just don't upgrade past v4.6 for now. I haven't had any issues with NDI5 but some have.

I posted NDI guides in this thread earlier today, they may help you figure out what's going on if it's your network causing trouble.

PC LAN Network/Communication Issues

Does anyone know of step by step guide for OBS NDI that includes setting up a LAN network. I am always having issues despite making bother PCs discoverable. I always get unidentified ethernet adapter when plugged into my ethernet switch/hub. I do not run my ethernet though my internet router...

I reinstalled NDI again from this Source again (Gaming PC + Streaming PC):

Release obs-ndi 4.9.1 (Ubuntu package bugfix) · DistroAV/DistroAV

This release fixes an issue targeting the Debian/Ubuntu package. For the latest Windows and macOS release, see obs-ndi 4.9.0. Only use this release with OBS Studio v25 or above! Changes since 4.9.0...

checked and uchecked Allow hardware acceleration

Any other Ideas?

 

[AS-3Ddruck]

Okay, i guess it works now.
Installed NDI 5 on my Gaming PC and Streaming PC.

If there is a Issue that comes with it i updated this Thread.
