Question / Help Quality is fine but video constantly loading after 30 seconds

[zenity]

Hey everyone,

I'm using OBS for a while now but I can never fix the problem that I have with Twitch. The quality is really good, i'm streaming at 720p 25 fps. But after about 30 seconds (differs every time) the people who are watching my stream get a loading circle. After 3 or 4 seconds the video resumes again.

Is this a problem with my settings/pc or twitch?

Specs:

AMD FX-6300
12GB RAM
Club3D Radeon HD 7950 '13Series
100 MBit up and down.
1920*1080 screen

OBS Settings:

log plz

Other than that, something you could try is streaming at a lower bitrate. The higher your bitrate is, the better a connection someone needs to watch it.

Unless you are dropping frames, the problem very certainly lies on twitch. But as Lemon mentioned, we will need to see a log file.

Sorry for the late reply. Didn't have internet for a whole day yesterday.

Here's a log from earlier this week:

(Made me lol a bit: 19:06:23: (half life scientist) everything.. seems to be in order)

And here's a log I made just now:

It buffered 4 times. For about 5 seconds each. Total that I streamed was 1:25. The recording that are stored on Twitch.tv are fine. And so are my local recordings. It doesn't matter if the local recording is on or off. It will always have the loading when I stream.

That's the recording at Twitch. It's completly fine.

I'm never dropping frames, and my buffer is always fully green around 3300 Kbit.

It's an issue with your connection to the Twitch distribution server. It doesn't happen to everyone who watches your stream. You can see if streaming to a different server helps, or lowering your bit rate, but there's not a lot you can do. Again, not everyone who watches your stream will have this problem.

Go to hitbox or gaminglive. Twitch is laggy piece of something rotten.

Could you tell me what line indicates that?

10:58:14: Completed handshake with rtmp://live-ams.justin.tv/app in 831 ms.

Is it that?

Edit: Awesome analyze from the website. I see...

Try London?

London/Amsterdam/Frankfurt all look fine, even Paris. So try these, but be aware, they are still sucky twitch servers :)

Yeah the connection seems fine to these servers. But I still get the loading problem every 30 seconds. So the handshake problem is still there. I tried streaming to Gaminglive, and it's way better. Only a 3 second delay and everything is working smooth.
