Question / Help OBS Failed To Connect To Server - YouTube (log file included)

[NewbStreamer45]

I tried everything, but I just can't start my live stream test even though I have my live-dashboard open. I included a log file, only look at the bottom though, that was my last try. Please help if you can. If you need more info, just ask for it.

PS: "Beim Datenbankaufruf ist ein nicht behebbarer Fehler aufgetreten." is german for "An unsolvable error occurred during the database call."

Looks like something is flat blocking your connection. Check that you don't have any antivirus or security software that could be blocking OBS' normal function.

Also, verify that you have Bind to IP set to "Default" in Settings -> Advanced in OBS.

I had my firewall and windows defender completely deactivated. Still doesn't work.

Edit: I already tried all options for bind IP.

Something is blocking OBS from even accessing the website to check for updates. Probably a 3rd party firewall if you have one, a lot of products remain active even when supposedly turned off.

I don't think I have a firewall like that installed on my computer. Maybe I need to unlock ports on my router?

Just because I'm interested, why does it say "loading of module failed"?

You don't need to open any ports. If you can access this forum, your router is already working fine. This still smells of antivirus / security software interference.

Those warning messages are due to extra DLLs that are supporting files for other plugins and not OBS plugins themselves.

 

[Fenrir]

That's normal, those are required components for plugins, but not plugins themselves. OBS tries to load any modules in the directory, but since they're not actual plugins, the load fails. This is normal and nothing to worry about.

 

[NewbStreamer45]

Well, is there a way to find out what software is blocking the access? I couldn't find any fishy software in the Programs And Features window.

 

[R1CH]

You may want to use something like www.malwarebytes.org to verify your system isn't infected. Some malware can break DNS functionality.

 

[NewbStreamer45]

Oh my gosh! It works now after using malwarebytes! Thank you so much!!!

@R1CH FYI: I was reading forum but still I needed to tweak router settings to make OBS work (with Youtube). Firewall was at high, now at medium WAN to LAN traffic is allowed and OBS works.

Also side note: somekind of internet speedtest could be useful. Or an option to automatically lower/adjust settings > output > video bitrate until there is no/only little Dropped Frames (network). I had to go from default 2600 to 500...
