I have this problem for about a week now. Don't know why it happens, but here is my logfile now from Saturday Stream and you see many End/Start Messages like this one.

=====Stream End: 2016-07-30, 21:02:36=================================================
=====Stream Start: 2016-07-30, 21:02:41===============================================

I also switched from Prag to Frankfurt as server. Same problem. I'm using die NVENC Codec for a while now. No problems and less CPU usage then before. There was never an issue. I have more logs from other streaming days if you are interested in, they look pretty the same.

Thx for any replies or analyzes of the logfile

Maybe a DNS issue. I was having problems making an initial connection to youtube. I replace the URL with the actual IP address and no more problems. Not saying that is your problem, but maybe something to look at. What I found was that youtube live using multi-IPs for streaming and that my stream may have got lost out in the cloud of the internet with DNS resolving different IPs on different routers. Do a traceroute between you and the destination. I had 62 hops between my house and youtube. I'm sure one of those routers served out a inaccurate IP and the stream got disconnected. Also, figure out what your machine is using for DNS. You can point it to Google DNS server 8.8.8.8 and that is more reliable than most ISP DNS servers. I hope that helps or at least points you in the right direction. Good luck!
