Question / Help RTMP Buffer size

I know this has been asked before... but I'd like to reframe it a bit. I have an unstable internet connection and there's nothing I can do about it. The "instantaneous" speed varies between 2 megabit and 8 megabit. I'd like to stream at 3 megabits. OBS buffers enough to recover from about a second of connection slowdown, but the buffer runs out and it starts dropping frames beyond that point. I'd like to increase that buffer size so the network can "catch up" at the moments when connection speed is higher. It almost works as it is, it just needs a bit of an increase. FFmpeg has the "rtmp_buffer" parameter for this. Can I do this in OBS? I am willing to compile OBS to get it working if necessary. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would benefit from this.

Thanks very much.

Under the settings, go to "output", select "advanced mode" and there should be a "use custom buffer size".
Hope this helps

It doesn't seem to have any effect, it still drops frames after the same amount of time even if I set the buffer to a very large value.
