Hello guys and thx for your Help.

I try to get my twicht stream working with obs now since a week, but still got my problems and don't know what to do.
Read so much forums and saw so many tutorials but I don't get it fixed. Maybe someone here can help me.

I am from germany.

Got VDSL 100 (80 Mbit/s down / 20 Mbit/s up)

My Hardware:

Asrock Z87 Extreme4
Intel I7-4790k
16 GB Kingston Hyper X DDR3 Ram
Geforce GTX 980 Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0 +
Creative Soundblaster Z

Running Win10 as OS. Also tried it with Win7

I attached my OBS logfile at this post.

Running BF4, Star Wars Battlefront, The Division and other actually games with 150-200 fps easy.
Also got no Problems with my CPU while running OBS at same time and render for 720p or higher on 60 FPS.

Also tried to stream on different FMS URLS: normally I would take EU: Frankfurt, DE, but also got the same problem at EU: Amsterdam, NL. or London, UK

One more point: When I am online in twicht and streaming live with OBS (with Gamecapture mode) and got my own stream on my second display on twitch.tv It works great. But for all the viewers out there, it doesn't. I don't get the loading circle on twicht.tv all 5-8 seconds. But all others out there get it permanently.

I am looking forward getting some response and I am very thankful for ever help I can get

thx for the quick answers guys. I just set up win10 the day before yesterday. Before that I used Win7 and already tried to stream just on 30 fps and also reduced onto 2500 Kbps and so on. I also tried different hosts with different bitrates and so on....Always got the sam result. Maybe I really just got such a bad unlucky location here :(

PS: Also already tried to set up my stream with xsplit. But that didnt work anyway. With xsplit I even dont get a constantly stream

Go to 2000kbps then. It doesn't look like you're dropping frames, so your connection isn't the issue. It's your viewers' connection to the Twitch video server. You can't control that, but you can help by using a lower bitrate, so worse connections don't have to download as much data from Twitch to watch smoothly.

Even going to 2500kbps will cause a lot of people to buffer.
Stick to 2000kbps or lower (down to a 1500kbps minimum for 720p@30fps).

Ok. Yea...understood. I will try set it up with that lower bitrate. As I meant....I just got a unlucky location here.
But what I cant understand. tiwtch.tv is the biggest streaminplatform (for games) so far. And I am able to watch streams from every part of the world without any problems.
You know what I mean? There should be so much viewers and streamers out there having the same problem.

Ok...but my viewers got the problem getting no constant stream from the twitch server. But why I dont got the problem the other way round? its the same distance when I send my signal...or when I watch a stream on twitch.tv?!? In your link there is the info: Twicht sends out the streams all over the world from San Francisco. So why can I watch other streams on 1080p without lags or delays and so on. Because as you already said....I had no framedrops up to the twitchserver. So my signal is as good as any other from the world.

Yes, it's your viewers' connection to the video server that is the problem.

The ingests and the video servers are different systems.

There are many possible reasons for why their connection may have an issue; a bad route to the video server, your stream not being replicated to closer servers by Twitch, ISP throttling, watching over wifi in a 'noisy' area. There's nothing you can do about it besides lower your bitrate to try and minimize the problem. Complaining about it or comparing your stream to other people's won't help, because that's the way it is. All you can do is try to work around it as much as you can.

But I still can't understand one point. I knwo two of my test-viewers. They are both from germany. My stream is always sucking when they try watching it. But every other stream, from usa, germany, UK or anywhere else of the world, is working great when they're watching it. Also 1080p streams

With a certain amount of viewers you will also benefit from better stream distribution.

Can't tell you a fixed number here though.
