Hi there,
I'm not sure if the problem is with OBS or with my Twitch account, but I'm a newb to this and would really love some help.
I created an account on Twitch today, generated a key, installed OBS, and setup the key to stream to Twitch. When I preview my stream, it looks fine, and when I activate my stream it shows a green light with 2000/kbps. It says encoding is slow, but it doesn't show any dropped frames.
The main problem is, the stream never appears on Twitch. When I go to my channel, I can see that Twitch is reacting to the activation of my stream, because it says "Live" for one second and says "loading video", but the video never loads (even for a second) and it just says "Offline". But it does have that reaction every time I activate the stream.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional and a pretty powerful computer, solid internet connection. I've tried resetting my Twitch key like ten times. No luck there. I've also tried designating a "Game" as the source, or just my Monitor in general. Also, I installed Xsplit and that didn't work either. Same result!
Any ideas? Very grateful for any help!
