I used to be able to stream just fine, either with my Elgato, or with my PS4. But Yesterday and today, the PS4 streams are terrible, and then drop out after a few minutes, telling me my connection is too low. And when I stream from the Elgato and OBS, it seems choppy, somewhat blurry at times, and I skip frames like crazy, even when the game is paused and nothing it going on. Starting up a stream, I drop 10,000 frames in the first minute alone.

This is the log file from when I streamed last before these issues, which streamed well.

And this is the log file from when I tried streaming yesterday where I had a log of problems.

I didn't change anything, and my download and upload speed is the same, so I don't know what the problem is.

My download speed is roughly 9-12 Mbps and upload speed is roughly 1-2Mbps, and my ping is usually in the 30's ms.

You shouldn't use a wireless connection for streaming. Its too unstable and slow. Especially if there are a lot of wireless devices in your home (computers, smart phones, gaming consoles, tablets, etc.).

Use hard wire Ethernet instead.

16:49:01: Interface: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 (802.11, 150 mbps)
16:49:01: Completed handshake with rtmp://live.us.picarto.tv/golive in 99 ms.
16:49:03: SO_SNDBUF was at 65536
16:49:04: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Increasing send buffer to ISB 131072 (buffer: 0 / 169984)
16:49:24: RTMPPublisher::SocketLoop: Stalled for 2677 ms to write 166040 bytes (buffer: 0 / 169984), unstable conn

Realize also, that picarto.tv could have problems, either on their servers or data center network causing you problems.

Wait, Picarto? That's the wrong log then. I never had trouble with Picarto. It's the only time I used wireless for that matter. But when I'm streaming on my PS4, or my Elgato, I used Wired Ethernet every time. For that matter, the log you are referencing is the one I mentioned I had no problems with. I only posted it because I thought I could use a logfile where I had no problems compared with the second one where I'm having all kinds of problems.

THIS should be a log from a time it worked to compare to now https://gist.github.com/1379ca07124407ec7bc109e93f70ed5f
