Question / Help Stream stops when no video is played

[Tintenkobold]

So I have a new start screen without any movement expect my chat window. So there is an image source, a browser source and that's it. Today I noticed the stream stops when OBS looses focus. This is reproducable and I think it has to do with some source types. OBS seems to think "nothing happens" with only image+browser source and stops the stream.

Any idea how to fix this? Playing a dummy video in background?

Post a log please. OBS does not have any code that would stop a stream automatically on it's own like that.

That's the strange thing: There is only 1 log. But there are 3 videos at Twitch (one not available, maybe Twitch bug since it was a very long stream).

I read somewhere that if bitrate for a stream falls too low (below 1000 Kbps), Twitch ends the stream. It sounds like your bitrate dipped too low twice, resulting in three Twitch VODs for one streaming session. However, if you're streaming with CBR, that shouldn't happen. As Fenrir asked, please post a log so that we can have a look at what's going on.

I use CBR. I can not post a log since there is non. There is only one log from the third stream start which lasted 8 hours then. Should I post this log anyways?

Yes.
