Question / Help Stream loading icon

[itayush]

Hi guys!
Not long ago you helped me with the stream settings, now I've another issue.
People who watch my stream, says that every little while the stream get stuck, there is a loading icon for a few seconds and then the stream come backs.
Hope you know what I mean and I really hope that you can help me fix it..

Thanks alot!

That's the stream buffering. Using a lower bitrate is the only thing you can do to help reduce it. Otherwise, it's an issue with your viewers' connection, or the Twitch servers.

I have reduce already reduced the bitrate from 2000 to 1500, and most (not all) of viewers still complain about that buffering..
I have good upload speed and I have free lag with 2000bitrate, so it's definitely not me.
Do you have any other solutions? People will not watch a stream with 1000 bitrate (very low quality)...
Thanks for your help.

Dump twitch.tv and test with hitbox.tv or a similar service.
Change servers and test a lot. If you do not drop frames and everything is fine on your side, the service provider you use is the one to ask. You cannot do anything except lowering your bitrate.
