Question / Help Quality decrease

I'm streaming on YouTube, and I have for a few days now, and the quality has been almost picture perfect, streaming at 1080p 30fps and running smooth, but for the past 2 days the picture has been a little blurry and shaky almost, it's hard to describe.

Here's how the video quality was a few days ago.

This is the quality now.

You might not notice it I don't know, but I can see it clearly, especially in the bottom corners, around the stats and item frames.

It is entirely possible that YouTube is transcoding your stream to a lower bit rate before presenting it to the viewers, since technically processing power is less expensive to them than bandwidth.

Like I mentioned in your old (first?) post, most streaming services do not appreciate bit rates that high.

Yeah I've been thinking about that to, but seems weird that it just started now and not been so from the start, hopefully it fixes it self, it's just me annoying over it :P
