Question / Help Stream keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

Could not resolve live-sin-backup.twitch.tv: No such host is known

Something was changed for that server, would advice to try another.
(From what i see on github it will be updated with the next release of obs1.)

Thanks for the fix! It worked for 2 days but now i tried all asia servers and it doesn't work. I don't want to stream out of asia, because it would lag.

Here is my updated log: https://gist.github.com/6f29f69667a407bb1527

Edit: Monitor Capture isn't working since I downloaded OBS.

The log that you linked seems like it was only a preview session and not an actual broadcast.

If it was not a preview; what error did obs display when you tried to stream?

Oh yes it was a preview. I never knew they recorded preview logs. Anyway, after a few testing I found out that only Singapore servers were down and my internet was just messing with me. Singapore servers down is a big problem though, because there will be a lot of lag in my stream. Next up I don't know why my Monitor Capture isn't working. Yes I am using 2 graphics card in my laptop(Intel and Nvidia) and via Nvidia Control Panel, I changed obs to High Performance Nvidia and monitor capture still doesn't work. I can use Window capture, but once I switch screens or restart OBS it will not work again.

this is a very helpful tool when finding the best servers to stream to. it should give you a VERY accurate representation of which ingests have the best quality and are able to handle the upload you send to it.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tech-support/478845-twitchtest-twitch-bandwidth-tester

With this tester, choose the region you wish to stream then find the best ingest by looking at the "quality" column as primary, if you get above 70% quality, use the server with the above 70% then the lowest latency

Thanks for the reply! The app was very helpful, but currently I am looking for solution to fix my Window Capture.
 
Well you do have some notifications that the hook is already in use. This is most likely caused bij some other program that tries to hook the same process(game). And that will cause issues.
Please make sure you do not have any other programs running like overlays or other recording software like fraps.

for CS:GO, you should use game capture. window capture only of game capture isn't working. monitor capture isn't recommended for 90% of use-cases.
so try this:
1. remove any monitor captures (as they have issues with switchable graphics), window captures that you used to CG:GO previously, and go ahead and remove any game captures for CG:GO. We will add back a CS:GO game capture in step 4.
2. Follow these instructions: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/laptop-black-screen-when-capturing-read-here-first.5965/
3. create a new global source for game capture, start cs:go in windowed mode, alt-tab back to OBS and click refresh on the new game capture and select CS:GO (no need for anicheat hook or anything else like that) select stretch to fit.
4. right click on the sources for the scene you want. click global sources and select the game capture you created in step 3.



also, as Greendweller said, you have another program trying to capture CG:GO, whether that be a 3rd party overlay or another stream/recording program

this could be nVidia experience, overwolf, Razer Synapse, FRAPS, D3DGear, MSI Afterburner, Action!, TeamSpeak/Mumble Overlays or any other kind of FPS monitor or overlay program

nVidia experience, overwolf, Action! will need to be uninstalled, but the rest the in-game overlays can just be disabled.

So i would need to uninstall nvidia experince?experince that sucks because i rely on it to check for updates. i use mumble and my overlay was never on. my cs go is already in windowed mode and all my scenes are all in global sources already.

ok. if you can disable the overlay and/or streaming function of the software you might be able to avoid uninstalling...also check to make sure steam's new broadcast and in-home streaming are both disabled or unchecked.

Man all the bad things of using a laptop... I will eventually switch to a pc. I will test it out and inform you the results.
