Still having Issues

[GravewalkerGaming]

I posted earlier in the week here with some issues I was having connecting to Facebook. I uninstalled Streamelements live, and that worked for a single day. I tried to go live earlier today, and i was having the same issues: OBS would just cycle through being connected and not connected. I changed all my bitrate settings, checked my Internet, made sure everything was the way it was before, still wouldn't stay connected. At this point I have no idea where the problem lies. Please help!!

What have you done for real-time monitoring of your Operating System? ie, with OBS have you driven your PC to overload, or is there smethign else in the background interfering with network traffic?
And after uninstalling streamelements, did you re-install OBS to repair the 'changes' {mess} streamelements made to core OBS? and make sure none of your Scene Sources is referencing streamelements content or config?

Hi! I don't currently have anything to monitor my OS. To be quite frank, I don't really know what I'm doing in the PC world quite yet, pretty much just swapped from console. I have a few browser sources that are streamelements based, as those are the ONLY sources I can seem to get to work for alerts. Other than that, I just have a few images and reduced my bitrate A LOT, all the way down to 1000 for video and 96 for audio

The OS has native monitoring tools
And you are NOT using WiFi, anywhere in the data path, right?

Its not possible for me to use wired Internet, so I have to use WiFi

your wifi is micro disconnecting ever so slightly that it effects obs but doesn't disconnect you from the internet. but you would think youd notice that occasionally your not connected to the internet while on wifi or pages take a while to load or something.

Not at all!! Honestly it's pretty fast to load everything, stays connected, no lagging while browsing, watching vids, listening to music, etc. It's JUST streaming

Nature of WiFi and Internet
- historically, most internet traffic was download (consumptive)
- Streaming (or backing up) is Upload
Most home streaming (download) services have built-in buffers to hide WiFi and Internet latency/jitter issues [especially older WiFi which was more akin to a walkie-talkie .. with only 1 client able to talk at a time]
When live streaming, you don't have that luxury (for the most part, especially not with free services)

So if your WiFi is congested (or poorly functioning) is it entirely possible that it will seem ok for most consumptive traffic, just as it is likely that livestreaming is your only traffic type that is sensitive to sustained throughput.
So, yea, appearing ok without understanding the underlying technology, and having trouble with upload livestreaming, is completely within reason [not unusual]. And fixing such a connection issue for you would likely have NOTHING to do with OBS (though there are a couple of network related settings which might help ... or makes thing worse)
As for troubleshooting, there are really more involved methods/approaches, or test with a wired connection [ I don't believe comments like being unable to test a wired connection, unless someone is stealing service and trying to not get caught ... one can almost always move laptop to location with wired connection and use/borrow a laptop dock or USB-to-Ethernet adapter (US$10)].
