I stream using OBS as part of my way of earning money via artwork. However, for the last three weeks, I've been suffering from massive instability issues when using OBS, and I'm running out of options.
For about an hour or a little less, things are okay. However, around that point, the OBS indicator starts flashing from green back to red, and the framerate drops until the stream is stuck in perpetual buffering. If I stop for about a half hour and come back later, it's fine again, but eventually in a half hour-to-45 minutes it'll start happening all over again.
I've attempted to troubleshoot this problem using every possible vector I can think of but continue to come up empty. I've checked my internet connection up and down, both wi-fi and Ethernet cable and have concluded it's not the cause of the issue. I've lowered my bitrate and my FPS, still nothing. I've tried this with both OBS Studio and the older OBS program, the issue spread across both platforms as if they were the same one. I've opened up a firewall port reported to resolve issues, and it did not work. I'm at a complete loss as to what's causing this problem and the inability to stream artwork for commissions is really starting to create problems for my livelihood.
I'm desperate for help at this point, and would be deeply grateful if anybody could help pinpoint what's going on here and point me in the right direction as to how to resolve it. Attached is the log file of my last attempt to run a stress test to see if I had resolved the issue, of which I failed to do.
