Hi there all!
I am almost sure that it must be justintv fault...but maybe its just sth wrong with my settings.
First some info:
I use OBS on my laptop with sc2 and sc2 hots beta. I belive for more detailed specs u can see my log file.
My bandwidth is aprox 90mbps down/80mbps up with really small variations eg 80down/70+up. Since i HAD some variations on my upload speed i changed MTU size on my router to 999 (from 1500 default) and now i am almost sure that my innternet speed is really fast AND reliable.
I use v0.467a (test 2) version of OBS.
Now, here are the problems that i encountered:
Dropped Frames (Not all times but once every 3-4 streams)
Log file example:
As you can see lots of frames were dropped and my stream was laggy. Sound didnt have any issues.
A second problem that i encountered are some random but RARE freezes during my sc2 games. Only sc2 freezes and opening the task manager solves the issue (i dont have to stop sc2.....just open the task manager!). This happens only when OBS is active...but unfortunatelly i wasnt wise enouph to keep the log file.
Third problem is that when i sometimes set my stream at a bitrate of 2500-2500 insted of 3000.....twitchtv wont show my stream (but it will record it normally). Maybe it was just a coincidence but using 3000 never does that. I know this is a justintv bug....but can it be the bitrate?
So....what do u think? CPU, OBS settings. bandwidth or just justintv problem?
