Question / Help OBS stops stream and reload it randomly.

Good afternoon! I need very big help, please! For the fifth day I’ve been tormented with the OBS settings, and no matter how I change them, the stream stops sooner or later, and starts automatically again. Frame loss occurs, streaming speed drops to zero.

Screens of OBS Settings:

Specs of my PC:
1Tb HDD (Not ssd)
4k Monitor
1080ti Aorus xtreme edition
AMD FX-8350
16GB Ram DDR3

I tried connecting directly to the PC, without a router. Nothing changed. I called the provider. He checked the ports, and said that they were all open. Tried to ping through CMD> Ping youtube.com - packets are not lost. The technical support operator said to write a post on the OBS forum, and say this infromation to you. He said, thet people maybe will help.

Hello

please read pinned posts they say provide a logfile
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/please-post-a-log-with-your-issue-heres-how.23074/

Please try to include a recording/streaming session when you experience problems while streaming or recording,
as OBS only writes important performance data during recording or streaming sessions.

If you have solved your problem yourself, please let the others know how you did it If someone else has the same problem,
he will find your post, read it through, is no step closer to solving it, and has wasted some time.

19:36:59.260: [NVENC encoder: 'streaming_h264'] settings:
19:36:59.260: rate_control: CBR
19:36:59.260: bitrate: 5000

20:26:03.035: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 743 (0.4%)

At a bitrate of 5000, you had very few dropped frames due to network performance. This indicates that this bitrate is about right for your connection, perhaps a little high.

20:26:56.592: video settings reset:
20:26:56.592: base resolution: 1920x1080
20:26:56.592: output resolution: 1920x1080
20:26:56.592: downscale filter: Lanczos
20:26:56.592: fps: 60/1

You then removed the scaling..

20:32:57.247: [NVENC encoder: 'streaming_h264'] settings:
20:32:57.247: rate_control: CBR
20:32:57.247: bitrate: 30000

...and increased your bitrate by 6 times. Not sure why you would, given that the previous session indicated you were on the edge of what your connection would do at 5000.

20:33:16.337: Output 'adv_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 639 (59.3%)

... and at a bitrate of 30000, 60% of your frames are dropping. Honestly I expected more.

Your general speedtest results are not relevant; they measure your ISP's last mile connection only and are generally optimized for good results. OBS log showing actual performance to an ingest server are a much better indication. When OBS says frames are dropping, that either means you need to lower your bitrate, or you need to troubleshoot your connection.

5-6000 are usual streaming rates. 10k to youtube is not unheard of. 30000 isn't really used by anyone; that's a bitrate for a lower quality local recording, not a stream.

Yes, i know all of that, thank you. I lower my bitrate to 2500-3000 for test, and result was simple. Right now, i register on Restream and try to stream using this site. For now, no FPS drops and no dropping stream. Will test longer to be sure.
