[Sapiens]

Settings > Video
Downscale your resolution to 1280x720
Change your frame rate to 30

Settings > Advanced
Change your scene buffering time back to the default of 700

If you're only going to make local recordings, refer to

You're streaming at 1600x900 at 60 FPS, which is a bit high. Either drop the framerate to 30 fps or use a 1.25 downscale to lower the resolution.

Then capture a new log file from at least 5 minutes of attempted streaming. Your log file only shows one stream that's far too short for us to determine anything.
