Question / Help Streaming thread

[terror569]

Hey guys!
I've got a question about streaming! I know, I know. There is already soOooooO many threads about it but.. I need your help.
I have read even from official support that it is possible to stream with 1Mbit/s upload speed. I also saw a video about it. My up speed is 2Mbit/s and down something over 20 Mbit/s but it's irrelevant. So basically I have this set up ->

• CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1075t 3.12 GHz
• GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5700 1GB - What a old shit! I know and i cri evrytiem
• Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

+ my speed test

I know it deppends what upload I have but..
I'm using this settings in OBS atm. I have set it up from the league of legends forum.

+

And now. This is how it looks when I'm online. Pretty much doing nothing :/

If you have any advice I'll take it! Thanks for reading and help.

I'm not sure where you read all this. But apparently, you didn't read about including a log file so we can inspect your settings. This eliminates the need to upload attachments of settings windows.

From what I can see, you have used some custom x264 settings, which are more suitable for local recording. So start by removing them all. Then, your bitrate should be fine somewhere between 1000 and 1500, no need to make it that low. You can always try decreasing in steps of 100kbps, until you get a stable connection without dropped frames.
In fact, just click the defaults button in Advanced, there is no real need to change any of that. You might look at the x264 preset and set it to a slower value, if the quality isn't satisfactory, and your processor can handle it. But you really should start with the defaults there.

You have disabled Aero, is there any reason for doing this? Generally you want to keep aero enabled. If you then must use monitor capture, you can use the DWM capture in game capture. Note that it can only capture your primary screen though.

Because you are slightly limited in bitrate, you might want to downscale the video a bit.

I'm guessing about some things here, a log file would really help get a complete picture of your situation.

Hello thank you for the answer. I set the default settings and here is the log
//EDIT: Yes I'm also recording videos on youtube
//EDIT2: I have tried stream atm. I guess I would be able to stream with 800-850 bitrate.
After holidays I'm moving out and I'll have new ISP. My upload will be 4 Mbit/s. Now honestly. Will that be enough to stream in 720p? I guess 1080p wont be possible.

I would set that downscale in the resolution to 1.50. 720p at that low bitrate will look like pixelated garbage. also, as the Dev said, you can put your bitrate to around 1000, 1200 would probably be a sweet spot. If your ping is high in the games you're playing, try using the "automatic low latency" mode found in the advanced settings.

You're also clearly using Monitor capture, which is the slowest and lowest quality way of capturing your screen. Capture the DWM in Window capture if you want to capture whats on the monitor, if a game isn't full screened. It'll look way better.

Well I was using Game Capture. But thanks for the reply. I'll try it out
/EDIT: BTW I found out that I can pretty easly stream D3. RoS, but League. No way
