Question / Help OBS Not Streaming

[BruteRave]

I press the Start Streaming button, and end it after a little. When I check my Twitch past broadcasts there is nothing

Twitch does not save broadcasts by default. You have to enable that in your Twitch settings.

Having said that, your log looks pretty bad...you need to lower your encoding settings to stream with that ahrdware, because you're getting a ton of duplicate frames, which is indicative of your hardware not encoding fast enough. I recommend downscaling your resolution to 480p or lower, and raising the x264 preset to ultrafast.

Thanks for that! In Twitch I have it set to automatically save my broadcasts.

Your log file is from a local recording, not a live stream. You might want to check into that. :)

 

[BruteRave]

Haha! Are you serious... no wonder. How do I change that?

 

[Sapiens]

Go to Settings > Broadcast Settings and make sure the Mode dropdown box at the top is set to Live Stream.

 

[BruteRave]

Mode is set to livestream...

 

[Sapiens]

Then the log you posted wasn't from an attempt at live streaming.

 

[BruteRave]

Oh. Ok! Thank you! I will find the correct one...

 

[Sapiens]

The logs are named in chronological order, and a new log is created when you launch OBS. Easiest way to do this would be to close and relaunch OBS, try to live stream for a few minutes, then post the latest log (assuming a VOD doesn't show up on Twitch's site).

Hows this?

 

[Sapiens]

It looks fine and you didn't drop any frames. Twitch should have a short VOD of whatever it was you streamed to them, assuming you enabled the option dodgepong described.

[BruteRave]

Whoops sorry...

 

[BruteRave]

Ok so I have it streaming right now but on my Twitch it says im offline

 

[BruteRave]

Bump! Stream mode is on Livstream and yet Twitch shows im offline

 

[dodgepong]

Don't bump your thread so fast. If you need immediate assistance, go to the webchat (link at the top of the page).

Are you sure you're streaming and not recording locally or previewing? What is the link to your stream?

 

[BruteRave]

What other settings would I have to change? I have the mode set to livestream and I am pressing Start Recording. twitch.tv/bruterave

Sorry about the bumps

 

[Sapiens]

Does it work if you use the Elgato software to stream to your Twitch account instead of OBS?

 

[BruteRave]

Yes it does!
