OBS Studio 19.0.0 Auto-configure Feedback Megathread

[Fenwick17]

Would it be possible to implement a user selected bitrate cap?
It returns 6000 using NVENC, however I don't have the transcoding option on twitch so 6000 is higher than I would like to use.
It would be good if you could cap it at says 3000, and it will return the best results based on that, deciding whether to use x264 or NVENC at that specific bitrate.

The point of the test to identify what your PC and connection can handle. If you're an advanced enough user to understand that you don't want the bitrate that high, the auto-config isn't really for you. Also, Twitch provides transcode options for pretty much all streams above about 10 viewers these days.

Can you get me a log from when you try to use the auto config? Do help -> log files -> upload current log after running the test and getting that error.

Tried it again this morning and it worked like a champ. Question though, it suggested my bitrate to be at 6k, should I lower that to say 2k?

Entirely up to you. Lower bitrate will invariably mean lower overall stream quality, however.

Auto-configure works on YouTube but not on Church server?

I would highly recommend a prompt to run this tool is made when a new user first runs obs, so that if they don't know about this tool that they can still receive the benefits.

We already do. :)

Looks like your server is expecting a username/password for auth and you have none entered? Since that has nothing to do with the autoconfig, can you make a separate thread for more assistance?

Sorry if this is the wrong Thread. I do have username and password entered in to the Settings/Stream URL, Stream key, use authentication is checked, and and user name and password are all filled in
I can stream to this server I was hoping to use the training wheels. My Thought was that the
Auto-Configuration Wizard is not sending the username/password.

Wanted to comment and say that using the auto-configuration has changed my stream immensely (in a positive way). I used to have trouble streaming some games at 720p@30fps, but now I can actually stream some games 1080p@60fps, while still retaining a solid bit of performance in the game, which is something I never thought possible. I was actually looking into buying a second computer just to get the stream looking more solid while maintaining the ability to play on my gaming rig, so the auto-configuration may have just saved me several hundred dollars.

I know the results of the auto-configuration won't be this solid for everyone, but I highly recommend it to anyone who happens to be on the fence. Thank you for this amazing feature!

New user - using the OBS Studio 21.0.1 (64bit, windows)
Auto-Configuration Wizard Beta
Streaming setup
Under the Stream Information dialog I have the following selected
I would like to check the box to "Estimate bitrate with bandwidth test (may take a few minutes), but, I am not able to check the box.

Is this a bug or is this option not available for the YouTube service?

 

[dodgepong]

The bandwidth estimator was disabled for YouTube because YouTube started flagging the test streams with copyright violations for some reason, even though it's just static.

Hello

I have had a problem with the obs studio, it does not let me transmit, it tells me to check the transmission server or that a firewall is blocked.

Testing: http://prntscr.com/ip2ek4

I have tried to deactivate all the antivirus and firewall and change the transmission code but the same thing keeps coming up.
