This isn't a log from a live streaming session. Post another one from a live session at least 5 minutes in length.

Are you watching from a separate laptop (not the one you're streaming from)? What bitrate? If you are streaming to Twitch and are not a Partnered caster, it is not recommended to exceed 2000kbps bitrate.

Okay so I did a quick cs:go deathmatch stream.
At first then I started the stream I saw the usual buffering (some here and there) on my seperate laptop, but then I removed desktop "recording" from stream and only streamed game the buffering was almost gone, saw 1 buffering when i load onto the map.

Code: 
10:17:39.788: Output 'adv_stream': Number of lagged frames due to rendering lag/stalls: 78 (0.4%)

Well within acceptable range. I wonder if the monitor capture was lagging your scenes


there is a difference between where the scene pauses then resumes which would be a major stutter or dropped frames and buffering. buffering has no audio, dropped frames will mostly contain audio since audio is handled different from the video stream.

I gonna do a test tomorrow afternoon.

np. some people use a graphic that says "something is missing! stay tuned!" as a transition

Can you see anything what might be the cause?

18:47:28.994: Output 'simple_stream': Number of skipped frames due to encoding lag: 808591930 (100.0%)

wtf? I dunno, there is no way you streamed and dropped 808,591,930 frames. that wouldn't even be possible if you streamed for a week straight. numbers just seem off.


The only thing I can clearly see now is that you need to move both monitors to the nvidia GPU. using onboard is just going to cause two active video buffers. there is no reason to use the onboard.
