Right
Random static on my AXIS camera live stream.
- Thread starter John Zapf
- Start date
at this point I know using AV1 encoder fixes the problem. Absolutely nothing else fixes the issue I can change every setting everywhere else and I can change hardware computers etc, that's the only thing that fixes the issue.
Going to do a little bit more testing now. I just set it back to a different encoder to see if I can recreate the error get a OBS recording and see what's going on. And by doing this I'm just gonna try to take YouTube out of the loop and see if it's actually coming from OBS or if it's something that's happening at the YouTube level. It usually takes anywhere from a minute to 8 hours to occur so we will see.
I just hate messing with it because I lose a lot of views when the stream goes down. And right now is the offseason so I need every viewer I can get.
But this is the best time to get all this figured out, during the offseason. Because during nesting season I have anywhere between 300 and 1200 viewers full time and I need to recoup some of my money.

Thx, I'll make sure to put that in my troubleshooting steps.

Again my thought with YouTube is they want 320 at the most on sound and if I have 3 cameras streaming 128 each on sound that's over 320. So I just need to make a recording from within OBS and see if it's coming from OBS or if it's just coming from YouTube I never narrowed that down. I only heard it on YouTube and never listened to OBS as I dont have any sound devices install for the desktop on OBS, so I cant listen to it. but I can make a recording with OBS when its happening and listen to it.
I don't know can you answer this question for me? so are the three streams considered tracks in audio output if I lower the audio output to say 96 does that affect the output of the three camera streams. I don't know if they're considered tracks? I'm lost at this part of obs. I'm sure I'm reading more into it than necessary but again just trying to figure things out. I don't see anywhere in sounds to control the total output of sound. I know YouTube prefers 41.1 kHz and no more the 320 kb's
Acualy I just looked and they are saying they prefer a Max audio bit rate of 160 on live streams. But again they say they prefer around 6800 on the stream and I'm way above that also. So I'm just wondering if my audio goes over that maybe the problems on their end I don't know I'm gonna wait to recreate the issue and see if it's coming from obs or coming from YouTube.

Each encode can contain up to 6 audio tracks. The bit-rate for each track is set on that tab. Tracks are selected on the Streaming & Recording Tabs. Open Advanced Audio Properties to customize the tracks.
I dont see where I can control audio bit rate for the streams.

Multiple Audio Track Recording Guide | OBS
OBS Knowledge Base. Split your audio into multiple tracks for recording
yeah I don't do any recording at all from obs just use it to stream what you see very limited and I keep the resources very low I don't need to record or do anything I just need to stream this one thing. I do all my video editing and davinci resolve I do all my sound editing and studio 1 pro I just use obs to stream this one thing I don't get any more technical with it than that all is good.Multiple Audio Track Recording Guide | OBS

Well nothing failed in the time I was here, so I put it back to AV1. I am more than happy with AV1 it's the best compression and best picture available and YouTube supports it, it works great, so there's no reason not to use it. And it lowers my GPU from 20% to 15% so it's a win, win, win.
AV1 came out in 2018 and everything is supported and working great now so I'm gonna use it, no reason not to. It's just amazing how long it takes everybody to switch over to new profiles. i'm still trying to integrate webp photos for websites and even avif and I gave up still not much support for either one of them, lots of issues everywhere, it's just amazing how long it takes for everybody to adapt new standards.
I've been doing this a long time. I started live streaming this same nest cam in 2012 via my wazza media server, things have come a long ways. My only bottleneck the entire time has been my Internet. Still waiting for fiber i can't believe it, I ran fiber in Qualcomm stadium in San Diego 32 years ago and i still can't get fiber at my house in 2024!

And I'm loving whatever compression we're using right now look at olive 5:14 PM she's just glowing. I'm a professional photographer i use the best cameras available looking great. https://youtu.be/ITBYocvH8ZU
and that Live stream is a perfect compression test all those feathers and fine lines and colors.
