Okay so my wife got a new desktop, and I was trying to help her setup OBS.

Long story short, when I stream, and/or preview it shows the video on OBS.. When I load up twitch on my iPhone/iPad, and desktop it shows that I'm streaming but only has audio, no video. I even try adding text, and on the preview it shows the text but on twitch it doesn't show any picture/video please help?

Like I mention OBS shows there is a video/picture but when I go to twitch it just shows a black screen, with no picture or video

That is not a complete logfile. We need a complete one from a streaming session at least 5 minutes in length. Just 'upload' from the Help menu and paste the link it gives you here.

Also, try viewing from a laptop/desktop. Older Apple mobile devices can have problems with certain compression, due to Apple being a special Apple shaped jackbooted snowflake.

15:39:35: Trying to hook process: ShooterGame.exe
Warning -- GraphicsCaptureSource::AttemptCapture: Failed to inject library, GetLastError = 5
Warning -- GraphicsCaptureSource::AttemptCapture: Failed to inject library, GetLastError = 5

Turn on anticheat hooking in the game capture, so you don't have to use Monitor Cap. Though as it's on Win10 MC should work too.

Also, that's an ancient CPU, and you're trying to stream 1080p@60fps on 2000kbps through NVENC. Ain't gonna work. It's likely getting overwhelmed and just giving up. Downscale to 720p@30fps, or lower to compensate for the poor quality NVENC provides.

You're also using strexm, which tends to cause pretty significant problems in general. Remote asset management is a neat idea, but doesn't seem to work right yet. I'd say to disable the overlay for now in case it's screwing something up again, while testing at least.

The CPU came out in 2014 its not that old... With NVENC it actually allows more frames then x286 coder.

When using XSplit using the same coding as I did with OBS it runs just fine.. I just rather use OBS though.

It's an X4. Far as I know they stopped making those some time back and went with the four digit typecode. (edit) Ah, looks like they tossed out a few new ones on the budget end of the range; CPUboss shows it as being around a 6300, which likely would have issues with x264 720@30.

NVENC is a poor quality compression method. It already uses bitrate badly. The more frames per second you try to push, the lower your bit-per-pixel density gets, so the worse the quality will get. You're also using a ridiculously low bitrate already. It's going to look like someone smeared vaseline all over the screen, if it actually allows those settings.

XSplit has a lot of id^H^Hnewbie-friendly 'helpers' that automatically try to save you from yourself. OBS does what you tell it to, and if you want to metaphorically burn your house down with settings like that, it's not going to stop you.

But hey, if you know better I'll just say "good luck".
