Hello, i'm with the community radio station KXCR in Florence OR. We are streaming our live feed on Twitch via OBS Studio 31.0.1. Our live feed keeps crashing randomly. The interface shows the "start streaming" button but has no effect, our only recourse is to restart the program which is tough as we maintain a 24/7 stream. If anyone would care to help i'll submit regular updates. i'm attaching our most recent log files. Would it be a good idea for us to upgrade our software?

Update OBS and test again.
that is update to 32.0 and try again?
we crashed again, got a message about a streaming key problem but we just got a new one. I'm attaching the last three log files. I don't see anything in them that gives me a clue. Yes we will upgrade to 32.0 as soon as i get the ok but it seems as if 31.0.1 should run w/o randomly crashing...

it isn't crashing, your connection is dropping and it is failing to reconnect. I mentioned to upgrade because you are many releases behind and something related to this was fixed so it would reconnect gracefully. the root cause would still be your connection.
Streaming is still up as of 11:50 AM PST.
I found https://r-1.ch/analyzer/ - what is our "Twitch channel name or URL"? https://kxcr.net/listen-live-1 doesn't work nor do any variants or page source digs i've tried work.

Works perfectly, thank you - "Stream Uptime: 18h 32m 45s"
We are still having our streaming crash every few days, something about a missing license file or something. I will try and capture a log file next time it dies. But today i heard something WRT Twitch - "Twitch has a 100 hour limit per stream so it will automatically disconnect you at that point." - is this true? We are a non-profit non-commercial community radio station so we are looking for a free streaming platform if possible and i notice OBS Studio will talk to a number of platforms, is there a more appropriate platform for our audio stream?

Yes, Twitch does not allow you to stream indefinitely. Last I heard it was 48 hour cutoff, but I don't know that they document the actual length.
