Okay i recently moved to a new flat and tried to stream and i got the green indicator blinking yellow every few seconds (around once in a 2-10 seconds). Never goes red. I use 2100-2400kbps video bitrate and 160kbps AAC audio.
What does the colors actually tell when it turns yellow? Red obviously means the bitrate is too high for the upload speed. But what does randomly blinking yellow mean? I'm sure my upload speed is easily fast enough for streaming
(VDSL2 connection)
DNA is a Finnish ISP and Finnish ISPs don't have any kind of bandwidth limits
Here is ShaperProbe test results
Here is my log (only few late frames so that's not a problem):
I don't have any kind of problems with streaming but i'm just asking what does the yellow indicator tell.
The keyframe interval is the only setting i've changed after i moved. It's now set to the "recommended" value of 2. Haven't actually tested streaming without it. Hmmm
