Bug Report Red Bar Latency?

[Silvygaming]

Hey fellow OBS fanatics!

I have a question regarding my stream I'm running over at twitch.tv.

Now, my main problem for tonight seems to be the Latency or Transferring of Data towards twitch (I assume that the green, yellow or red bar measures latency towards Twitch?). As you can see below I have a decent ISP and judging by that there should not be lag or a red latency bar.

Can somebody confirm what the bar is actually measuring? It is the stream of data from my computer to Twitch, is it not? And if it is Red, which it currently is for me, regardless of what bitrates I am streaming with, are the problems I'm asking about on my end, or is it actually Twitch's servers overloaded?

My stream settings are currently:
10 Quality
Bitrate 4000/4000
Frankfurt server
720p
30 fps

It is not your latency but more so your connection to the server. If it's red, you're either on the edge of dropping frames or you are. It certainly doesn't look like you lack the bandwidth for a 4000/4000 connection, so I'd say it's your connection to Twitch.

This is a good tool for finding your best Twitch server, which might not always be the closest to your location.

Thanks for that quick answer man! Does this mean that I can't do anything about it? Basically, Twitch servers at full capacity?

Also, using that program you supplied revealed that I should use Amsterdam as my Twitch server. Will give that a try.
