Set output stream to CBR in options, bitrate is still dynamic, any ideas why?

Hey everyone, sorry if I'm missing something but I set my stream bitrate to CBR in settings, however it appears to change to a dynamic bitrate when actually streaming.

The stream log confirms that CBR is chosen but then gleefully states that it has switched to dynamic bitrate:


22:31:42.874: [x264 encoder: 'simple_h264_stream'] preset: fast
22:31:42.874: [x264 encoder: 'simple_h264_stream'] settings:

The log continues to state the changing bitrate. Any way to ensure CBR?

I've attached the full log if you wanna see the whole thing :)

All help is greatly welcome and appreciated, cheers!

You turned on dynamic bitrate in the network settings. This adjusts the bitrate CBR uses depending on network congestion, it's not a encoder rate control parameter.

Nice R1CH, thanks for highlighting my blunder, you the best :D
