Question / Help OBS on VPS !!

[ebanafea]

Hello,


Do you suggest me any VPS that i can work with OBS on it ? .. I do streaming thru Media Source on OBS and i already rented a VPS plan but the problem is OBS using alot of CPU and some VPS when i make the resolution 720p it will not appear like that. Is it because of the Graphic Card ? ..

Hope someone help me and advice me ..


Thank you

A VPS or Dedicated server usually it does not have the necessary hardware to run OBS.
The best option for you is another computer + game capture (Like avermedia or other) + hdmi spliter or buy a better computer.

Actually why i want to use VPS because my internet bandwidth sucks and .. i want to stream things thru OBS ..

Thats why i was a VPS ..

And btw, i use media source and choose to put a link into the OBS not streaming from a TV or Satellite ..

So, hope someone have an idea .. Thanks for replying Yona :)

in the past I saw a tutorial for using vps and I did.
Got less laggy stream, but not always.
When you are new on twitch, no matter your connection, twitch will assign a bad server even using a low bitrate.

I really do not think there is difference in the use of connection using VPS or stream directly.

OBS itself requires a real GPU to work, so it will not run on your usual 10$ OBS VPS. You need a GPU instance, they start at around 100-150$ per month.

If you are just looking for a video jukebox to stream prerecorded files, there are other RTMP clients with that functionality built in; OBS is not intended to be used for dead-file "24/7" video/music channels.
