We've done streams to FB from our mac that have been up to 4 hours in length (also from a win 10 box for that long.)
Can you post your log file? Also what else is running on the mac and what is your network connection (wired/wifi?)

These logs look to me like you are having a network issue (between you and the server) or else the server is disconnecting you.
The log also looks like you are using the stock software encoder (x264) rather than one of the HT (GPU based) encoders. If you have an iMac or a MBP you should have access to the GPU based encoders. That is surely contributing to your encoding lag on the last line above.

Yes i am using a macbook pro 2015 with macOS Catalina (version 10.15) .How do i changed the software encoder from x264 to HT (GPU based).Thanks for taking time to look at my problem .
okay i saw the encoder i have changed from x264 to Apple VT H264 Software Encoder let me try this and see if its works.
