Question / Help OBS worked for me perfectly for months, now it's stuck at 0kbps

Hello,

After tinkering and eventually nailing down the right settings for OBS, I finally streamed clean clear 1080p daily for months. I got sick and didn't stream for a few weeks. When I came back to stream, OBS just reconnected every 60 seconds. I thought it might be an internet issue, so I contacted my ISP, upgraded my router (though I'm wired to it), and tried direct connecting with my modem with the same results. I noticed that instead of the typical green/yellow kbps fluttering read out, it was stuck at grey, 0kbps.

I've tried disabling windows firewall, disabling anti-virus software, making my PC a DMZ on my network, re-creating new profiles, switching twitch servers, resetting my stream key, etc. I ran the twitch bandwith test program and I get the result "Failed." for every server. My upload speeds are fine (10-15 mbps), though I tried to run a shaping test and it fails to contact their servers.

I don't think it's an ISP or router issue (I've been through three) because it's literally stuck at 0kbps. It never pops up to a higher speed and lags. Everything else I do on the internet flies like the wind. I didn't change anything from when I stopped streaming to when I started, and it's driving me insane. Please helperino!

Seems like you only tried to stream for 7 seconds in that log, it doesn't show any problem.

So this is one of the many times that I troubleshot and just checked it for a few seconds to see if anything changed. Here's one that should show it reconnecting after 60 seconds.

If it helps, I finally got twitch test to connect to the twitch servers and show me my respective connections speeds. This makes me think its an OBS issue more now.

20:32:51: librtmp error: RTMPSockBuf_Fill, remote host closed connection
20:32:51: Connection to rtmp://live.twitch.tv/app failed: Could not access the specified channel or stream key. This could be because the key/channel is invalid, or because the server still thinks you are logged in.

Nope, something is messing with your connection to twitch, but it isn't OBS.

First you should turn off minimize network impact and automatic low latency mode until you get your connection fixed.

I've done as you said, R1CH. D2ultima, what kinds of things commonly would mess with one's connection to twitch?
you might have to redo your password on twitch and reset your stream key. copy the new key to OBS. they had an issue a few weeks back with some hackers and had to reset everyone

I tell you the truth, I did this literally 15 different times over the course of two weeks making certain that it was copy pasted correctly with no space and it did not work. My stream keys would fail to reach Twitch servers. I put in a support ticket to twitch, and today for the first time, the new twitch stream key can contact their servers. Thanks so much for your help everyone!!
