Hey there. I have a handful of issues I would greatly appreciate some education and reassurance on.
I streamed for 5 hours last night on Twitch. I dropped 649 frames (0.1%), and had about a 15 second delay.
1. Viewers saying they are having to change the resolution to 480 because of buffering. I am aware that some of it may be traffic related, but I wanted to know if there was any of my settings that are weird or out of whack that I could adjust to alleviate the problem. I sort of don't want to stream at less than 720, if I can avoid it.
Settings I am curious about currently are the CPU Usage Preset and the bit rate; I want to make sure my viewers can view at 720 on average hardware, and I am concerned that I am set too high for 30 fps 720.
That amount of dropped frames is pretty low comparatively, right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. The colored box in the lower right hand corner of the OBS window flickers from "green" to "green-yellow" and back. Should it be all green? Is it OK so long as I am not dropping frames?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. I used to have my bit rate set lower....I don't remember how much, something like 2500? When I streaming Pokemon Shield, it would periodically lag on the OBS window, but not on the TV. I ruled out the HDMI cable I was using. When I bumped up the bit rate, that issue stopped happening. The reason why I went to that is because I happened to be looking at the colored box in the bottom right when it lagged, and saw it turn red.
I attached the latest log for y'all to look at.
Thanks for your help!
