As a precursor I've tried everything in the "Dropped frames..." stickied thread, apart from using a wired connection as that's physically unrealistic when I'm 2 floors away from the router (but my brother's computer, located 2 feet away from mine in the same room doesn't have an issue streaming).
I'm having an issue where obs seems to sporadically drop chunks of frames when I'm streaming. I use AmarecTV to record a capture of a gamecube/wii through a gv-usb2, and then capture the amaraecLive function through "Video capture device" on obs. I also have a couple of window captures alongside that. The issue seems to occur randomly, but often when I do something on amarec (such as starting/stopping the local recording) or happens in conjunction with issues on amarec (capture freezing or disappearing). The main problem I have is that these issues come completely randomly, I can stream every day for a week with 0 or very minimal dropped frames, sometimes find I'm dropping multiple seconds of frames every few minutes or so, and occasionally completely disconnect from the server multiple times, rending my stream non-existent for anyone trying to watch it.
I've spent some time trying to troubleshoot hardware, wondering if it was the capture card (it probably isn't, as the issue persists when I use my EZcap), the usb wifi dongle (also tried another dongle) or another usb device/driver screwing with something (removing everything else didn't help).
Here's a log file from one of the streams that had the issue: https://pastebin.com/98Lg04Hr
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Forgot to mention that the log file might not be too useful, I'm currently trying to get clean attempt at a stream that gets this issue to hopefully provide a better log file, but naturally everything is behaving itself today.
