Question / Help Missing servers for Twitch

I live in Western Canada and the Seattle server is by far my best choice for server based on the twitch tool, but now OBS doesn't show the server as an option in Twitch's drop down list. I've read that this has something to do with Twitch's API and not an OBS issue - but my question is if there is a way to connect to the server by specifying an IP or domain for that server? In terms of connection and quality - the other servers pale in comparison. Thanks for any help here.

Same. I was wondering why the Stockholm server was missing, since it's a lot better for me than Frankfurt. Earlier I tried xsplit due to other issues with obs, and it has a lot more servers available to use.

@Electrocudead The US West: Seattle,WA is marked as offline by twitch (https://stream.twitch.tv/ingests/) and won't show up because obs requests a server list from the twitch api.
@krillep Same as above with the EU: Stockholm, Sweden server

First, thanks for that response. So is it just a matter then of waiting for Twitch to correct the API then? Is this something that happens often? And there's no workaround at all? I don't mean to drag this out but like I said; Seattle being unavailable is the difference of about half the connection speed and a quality of 30-40 vs. 100 for me.

As long as the twitch api tells obs that the server is not online, it won't show in the server list. You can add it manually and try if you can reach it. (the rtmp url is listed on the page i linked to)

THANK YOU. I didn't even notice the url on the right side. Just played a couple games over overwatch streaming at 1080p 60fps without a single dropped frame and perfect stream health. Quite different results than any other server that shows in the list. Thank you again!
