Question / Help Twitch Stream buffers/disconnect every few minutes

Hello all,

I recently started using Nvidia NVENC to stream with my Nvidia GTX 770.
Since i can't stream with my CPU and GPU whili x264 encoding.
Before my new GPU is was able to stream with x264 encoding which resulated in a little lag in-game.

While i was streaming i monitored my connecting to the Twitch server and from time to time i went from red to yellow/green again.
With that i also watch my CPU usage which was under 80% and also GPU was handling everything alright.
So i tested my connection to Amsterdam, because i'm living in Holland.
I also tried to switch to the Twitch server in London, but same result.
My packets are throttled or something, because Holland has net neutrally.

Your connection in the log reports occasional instability, but there were no dropped frames. There was also no report of disconnections in that log, only disconnections you made yourself by turning off the stream.

However, there is a strange message that r1ch must have added recently:
Warning -- Connection Failure: Check TS3 is running and ClientQuery Plugin is enabled

It seems that a teamspeak 3 plugin (ClientQuery?) could be causing some issues here.

Thank you for your reply!
About the connection instability as far as i know my internet connection is good, but is it possible that there is something wrong in the Twitch servers? While playing Guild Wars 2 i do not suffer from disconnections ingame.

But when i'm home i will move the ts3 plugin out of the plugin folder and try to stream.
At that time i was not running ts3 so that is why that message pops up.
Maybe that plugin is trying to pull a ts3 connection and causes my connection instability.
The clientQuery is a plugin of TS3 which needs to be installed for the ts3plugin to work.


EDIT: I moved the ts3plugin to another folder.
After that i was streaming without much buffering.

JIM, YOU ARE MY HERO!
