RTMPS vs. HLS

A few weeks back, I started running into streaming issues at a few arenas in our area, where I had no issues previously. These technically fall under a different municipality than our home arena which has remained rock solid. Different IT groups managing them.

Speedtests at these arenas produced 100MB + Up and Down. Bandwith is not the issue. Earlier in the season, I was able to stream at these arenas and nothing in my config has changed. It works perfectly elsewhere.

I can open YouTutbe and watch videos. I can I even use my camera as a live webcam. It's the combination of OBS and YouTube that causes the issue. I stream to YouTube using an RTMPS key. I don't fully understand RTMP vs HLS, but read that one is TCP and the other HTTP. Is this likely a protocol issue?

I've been to arena's where Facebook and YouTube are blocked. But here, both still work. Would moving to HLS produce a change or likely give me other headaches I'm not yet aware of? Or am I looking in the wrong direction for troubleshooting?

Thank you in advance for any feedback!
