If you have VODs being saved automatically can you see if there is something there when you stop streaming in OBS. If a VOD shows up then there is nothing really wrong, and its Twitch being Twitch. If nothing shows up please post a log of a stream session -> https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97/

Nothing saves, not even a VOD. The stream doesn't show up for anyone. I have a second twitch account that is following it and when i start streaming my stream is nowhere to be seen.

That's not the whole log, can you post the gist.github.com url here? From the short log it seems like it is streaming.

That is still not the entire log. Make sure when you opened the log you copy and pasted everything that is in there. There is still more information, unless OBS crashed or something. I just want to know if OBS showed a disconnect log or anything like that.

Yes, much better thanks. It seems like OBS is stopping the stream normally. Do you have hotkeys set up to start and stop OBS? I feel like you are either clicking stop stream or you have a basic hotkey that is stopping the stream.

No i dont have any hotkeys. When i stream i can see everything fine. But on twitch it says im offline, next to the viewer and follower count.
The stream goes online when i use xsplit, however xsplit takes alot more CPU power.

Ok well that log shows you streamed for a few minutes. Just refresh the dashboard page. Everything is working just fine. This is just Twitch being Twitch, and make sure you aren't watching on the same computer as you are streaming from.

Twitch has become more and more a horrible service. I would recommend to activate the archive broadcasts function in your twitch settings. That way you can later check if the recorded VoD is complete. As floating mentioned, everything seemed to work just fine, no error messages to worry about.
