I have been trying to get OBS to work for days now. I am streaming via twitch and my stream will be fine for about 30 seconds then it just freezes and stays frozen. I dont usually get dropped frames but a few times towards the beginning I did but now it mostly just freezes with no dropped frames. I can stream with xsplit flawlessly in very good quality with no problems but I want to use OBS because its a beter software but I cant even get it to stream for me. My internet upload speed is 11mb and I have tried using different servers. I've read tons of guides and tried changing all kinds of setting only to have the same issue. I am running windows 10 and my pc specs ill list below along with my log file

nvidia geforce

I7 6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz

8GB RAM

Have OBS record to file while streaming, does the freezing happen to recorded file too?

There is something I just found in log file, the webcam capture at 1280x720 using "MJPG" will put a lot of CPU load. Reduce your capture resolution to maybe 640x360, 30fps or lower, and then change from MJPG to something else like RGB, YV12, i420, YUY2, UYVY, or something. Webcam running at 720p 30fps can only be captured compressed (MJPG) over a slow USB 2.0 speed.

Maybe check again to make sure to use low webcam resolution (maybe 640x360) and change output format to anything except MJPG/H264.

Is it working fine with webcam unplugged?

It wont even let me change it from MJPH. In the drop down thats the only option. I havent tried it without the webcam. Even my recordings freeze.

If you haven't tried OBS-multiplatform, maybe try using it, which is a different download from regular OBS.

Newer log still shows MJPG 1280x720...
I am not sure what may be the problem on regular OBS and MJPG capture.

Looking at log file cpu usage profiling looks of video thread ok. This really appears to be connection problem.
When starting stream, maybe try open command and do: ping -t google.com (ctrl+c to stop)
