Bug Report OBS Streaming with higher bandwith then set

[Gol D. Ace]

Version that I'm using 0.448a

When I set the video bitrate to 1600 and the audio bitrate to 128 (= 1728) I get spikes with over
243 KB = 1944 kilobits.

unless you set Buffer size to 0, you are always going to get spikes up your bitrate + buffer size.

However, don't set your buffer size to 0 or everything will go to hell

you can get spikes with the encoder, but the thing is that your average will still stay the same -- so it will basically compensate for that spike. If you want a more consistent bitrate, you have to lower your buffer size or use CBR

Is setting the send buffer to 0 the same as disabling the send buffer? Because I have it disabled.

Ah and using the CBR option in the OBS testversion doesn't work for me.

You shouldn't disable the send buffer, that will result in bandwidth waste. The buffer size is in encoding settings.
