Question / Help Never ending buffering because of higher bitrate

[domyslnik]

Hi there. With my internet i am able to set max bitrate to even 4.500. I saw on some quides that people are even putting there 15k max bitrate.

But my problem is when i put more than 2000 max bitrate my stream on twitch is lagging. I mean its buffering from over and over. I had that problem watching my stream, same as friends. So i needed to downgrade from 4500 to 2000 but quality is then awful. That really should work like that? Even twitch is saying to put there 3.500, but then buffering will never end.

People streaming at 15000kbps are stupid. It's more likely they are only using 15000kbps for local recording and not streaming. Many places, like Twitch, recommend not going over ~3500kbps, and if you don't have any transcoding available, it will be difficult to watch even at that level. I recommend staying at 2000kbps and don't stream higher than 720p30.

So it should work like that. Meh, with my bad PC i was wondering if i can increase quality with higher bitrate. But ok, thanks for fast anwesr i appreciate it ! Have a nice day/night
