Question / Help rtmpsockbuf_fill, existing connection closed by remote host (Need Help)!

[Kelden Coates]

So I've been streaming for a while now and this has just recently started happening randomly. 5 seconds after I start streaming I get a message that says this.

rtmpsockbuf_fill, recv returned -1. GetSockError(): 10054 (An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.) RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.

at first I just renewed my stream key and it worked, but now I'm getting it again and resetting my stream key didn't work (although I will try it again). But as I looked up the issue, many have said that it could be a firewall issue and I need to disable my firewall.

Only problem is is that I don't know how to identify if I have a firewall or find out how to disable it. Thanks for anyones help in advance! I love obs!

Did you try different ingest servers?

Same issue, dunno how to fix it. If I keep clicking start stream eventually it connects but sometimes it will disconnect later and I have to go through the hassle of forcing it to start again.

Its very frustrating, I haven't had this issue until recently.

You choose a different one from the drop-down in settings - broadcast settings
