Hey Community,
so my problem is that my Stream is not buffering correctly on Twitch.tv on the closest server aswell as 2 others. It buffers fine for some time and then it randomly starts buffering.
With the same settings on Hitbox everything works fine and it never buffers.
I have way enough upload, I'm only using a third what I have.

regards, Felix
 
Bitrate is 2500. Its well withhin the limit, but if you dont have transcoding active, you might expirience some buffering on twitch. Doesnt matter what server you take, in this case your stream will be routed over the San Francisco twitch server and if your ISP or someone between your ISP and the server has problems, you will expect buffering here and there.

Twitch is known for it. Personally i never expirience buffering even on high bitrate streams over 3000 kbps while watching, but i have enough friends who literally cant watch anyone without transcoding on twitch.
 
First: talk to your ISP. They can work around it and find out where the problem is. But if its not in their network - they wont do anything. You can use a VPN etc to change your routing to the server.
For you as a streamer its enough to know that you dont lose frames, so your connection to the server is stable. As a viewer its a bit different.
