Question / Help Stream laggy but twitch recording is fine

[Tushazkk]

I am streaming our World of Warcraft Raid progression on twitch since june and everything was fine until some recent updates on the OBS client. The LIVE stream is laggy, it freezes frequently every 2/3s but the resulting recording after the stream session is fine. I have no frame drops at all in the client info.

My ISP have 60MB download and 10MB upload

Here is my twitch recordings in 1080p: http://www.twitch.tv/tushazkk
Here are my current settings: http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/a ... r-software

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Can you post your log? viewtopic.php?f=6&t=97

If the VODs are fine and you're not dropping frames in OBS, then the problem is most likely on the viewer's end. Remember that viewers have to have good enough internet speed to download at the bit rate you are uploading at, and it can sometimes be hard for a streamer to watch his own stream while streaming, depending on network conditions.

A log would help, though.

first of all this shouldnt be in bug reports.

use a program like jtvping or the obs plugin that is based on jtvping to determine the ingest server that works best for you and switch to that ingest server. If you have tried all the ingest servers that seem acceptable and still have lag issues start to lower your bitrate. If nothing helps contact the twitch support and let them know about your problem.

You could also enable the minimize network impact option in the broadcast settings or play around with the latency tuning factor in the advanced settings (f.e. try increments of 5 and see what happens) but it is not recommend since these settings affect the packet queueing.

To my knowledge the network code in obs hasn't changed in a while.

hope this helps and good luck!

Sorry if i'm in the wrong section (bug reports) as dorgol said. I'll upload my logs after work to investigate futher. Thanks for quick feedback and stay tuned.

Ah, as I suspected, your bit rate is ludicrously high. Reduce it to no higher than 3500kbp, which is the most that Twitch is alright with you using.

dodgepong looks like you didnt check the full log.

Tushazkk the last settings you were using seem fine

18:56:44: Video Encoding: x264
18:56:44:     fps: 30
18:56:44:     width: 1920, height: 1080
18:56:44:     preset: veryfast
18:56:44:     CBR: yes
18:56:44:     CFR: yes
18:56:44:     max bitrate: 3500
18:56:44:     buffer size: 3500

you might still want to lower your bitrate a little to say 3000kbps instead of the 3500kbps and revisit my earlier post on how to proceed if your lag problems presist.
