I then swapped accounts, and set Youtube as the main, and streamed to Twitch with the plugin. It also worked. Then I tried to increase the bitrate to 18000 kbps, which is what I use for Youtube. That's when the plugin stopped working. Is it illegal to send that much bitrate to Twitch, or what is the problem? I don't mind if I send 18 Mbps and it gets capped to 6 Mbps, but at least I don't have to set independent encoders. Maybe it's related to the setting "Ignore streaming service limitations" in the Streaing tab in the settings of OBS, which is not a setting that's available through the plugin. Well, at least I got it to work. I'm quite happy now :) Sorry for so many posts

So I figured out, that this plugin only works upto 8000 kbps bitrate. If you go higher either through the OBS encoder, or through the custom encoder, in whatever platform (Youtube, Twitch..), it doesn't work at all. Though Youtube has a 51000 kbps limit, so I don't know why it's also capped at 8000 kbps by this plugin. What's interesting, is that with this plugin I can stream to Twitch at 8 Mbps even though I'm not an affiliate, whereas if I use the normal streaming method, it gets capped to 8 Mbps automatically, unless I check the "Ignore streaming service limitations". By the way, can I get banned for streaming at 8 Mbps without being an affiliate?

Well, I realized that I was seeing myself as live on my own Tiwtch dashboard when streaming to Twitch at 8 Mbps, but then I went to my channel as a different user, and I appeared offline, so yeah, no hack there... Twitch was blocking me unitl I switched it back to 6 Mbps.

Also I realized that it was the obs-multi-rtmp-setup.exe that had installed the plugin in the Program Data folder. And then I had installed it twice by putting it manually into Program files. I was having the problem that the plugin doesn't remember the encoder settings after restarting (I tried versions 0.2.8 and 0.2.7.1), so I removed the files from Progarm Files, and I tried the obs-multi-rtmp-setup.exe, which put them again into Program DATA, and the plugin works anyway, but it still doesn't remember the encoder settings.


I also have some requests, which I don't know if they're even possible or logic:
1. I would like to be able to set different fps for each stream
2.Would it be possible to set a high bitrate for Youtube, and then have it capped for Twitch at 6 or 8 Mbps, with a single encoder?


Sorry and thanks again!

This plugin is fantastic! We are running into one issue and I don't see a workaround. We need to stream to Twitch & Instagram at the same time, but the resolution cannot stay the same on both platforms. Is there a way to change the resolution within the plugin? Thanks again for making something so easy to use!
 
I had this plugin working for several months. I streamed to Facebook Live with OBS, and YouTube with the plugin. The plugin recently started giving me a "Failed to Connect to Server" error. I changed all of my settings to simplify everything. I used Get From OBS, but still cannot connect for the last two months. Anyone else seen the same thing? I'm not sure why it stopped working.
 
Anytime i stream more than 2 my computer goes to 70%+ (facebook group/facebook page/linkedin). I have to shut down the 3rd one. Any suggestions? Currently I "start the stream" then run the 2 off the dock killing the main stream.
 
Hi, great plugin! But please I have an important question. While streaming with this plugin to the multiple platforms, does that require the need for more data consumption or bigger bandwidth than when streaming to a single channel?

Yes, assuming every destination is using the same bitrate, then streaming to 2 destinations will take double the bandwidth, streaming to 3 will take triple the bandwidth, etc.
 
Love to be able to use this, I run LINUX. I tried to download and compile the source, but it's not working. I also tried to do the compile through the command line with GITHUB, but their weird change in login using a token or something and their workaround useing a browser login isn't working either.
 
Hello, has anyone been able to successfully use this addon to stream to 2 different youtube channels? I can get this addon to work with main stream to be youtube and facebook using addon but when trying to add another youtube channel with correct rtmp and streamkey doesn't work. It says its streaming but no video ever shows on 2nd youtube channel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't Youtube have that really terrible system in place where your Youtube Channel MUST be active on your Browser when you start Streaming for it to work, then you have to log out and log in to the second Channel and do that all over again for them to work as well? Not like Twitch where you just press Stream and it automatically works?

Some people claim you don't need to do that anymore, but I literally cannot get Youtube to work without first looking at it before streaming.

i normally grab the streamkey in youtube right before in obs. maybe that is it. the issue is the other youtube channel is not mine they only supplied rtmp link and streamkey.

Any suggestions would be great, I just don't want to pay for restream.io i will only stream to 2 youtube channels once in a while.

Maybe ask around OBS Discord or some Reddit Youtube subs? I know exactly what you mean, but if you don't have access to the account directly before a Stream starts it won't start (I found out this the hard way after almost a week of lost streams).

Some people claimed changing the settings from Live to Schedule or increasing the Stream Delay bypassed the Youtube limit, or using a Direct OBS Integration was the solution, but again, I couldn't get any of this work.
 
Hello everyone, lately I have some spikes in my stream when I use the pluggin with youtube. Should change something? I use 4500 on bit rate. But this is what I use when I do just one platform. Should I change this? or what can I change to fix this?

I have 35 Up/ 200 Down and after 2 streams it is impossible. Last week I was only able to stream to one feed. Unsure if that is a bandwidth issue or a laptop issue.
 
I have not prove with streaming multiple source fb + YouTube + twitch.. No CPU or bandwidth problem.

Is possible change the audio source for specific streaming? I see some option like mixer I'd but I don't understand how work
