Question / Help Upload constantly dropping to 0 kb/s

Melchoir · Mar 19, 2013

Hello whenever I try to stream to any server with twitch.tv, to any other streaming service, I notice that my upload will constantly be dropping to 0 kb/s and tons of dropped frames and eventually it will just disconnect me from the stream altogether. I've tried so many different options and it just keeps on happening so I now come to ask the experts.

I understand my computer is not the best, but OBS only uses around 20% of my CPU power when it's on so while I'm aware it might be the problem I don't see why it wouldn't use 100% and bottleneck there.

lower your bitrate and bufsize to 2000 and change the audio from mp3 to aac

XeiZ · Mar 19, 2013

30000kbps is way too much for those services, drop it to like 3000 or for that resolution even 1000 would probably be enough.

Melchoir · Mar 19, 2013

Ah yes I forgot about that, I was just messing around with settings because I previously had it at 1500 and 3000 but same thing still happened.

dodgepong · Mar 19, 2013

Can you post a log of an attempt where your bit rate is at a reasonable level?

hilalpro · Mar 19, 2013

if you're keeping the ultrafast preset and 5 quality then you wanna set it at 2000. you can type 3000 but it won't use much bitrate ( just occasional spikes) because the quality is too low.

Melchoir · Mar 19, 2013

Ok I tried with some different settings. I want to stream at my normal resolution if possible so I switched things up a bit. What happened this time was it loaded up and then not 10 seconds later said "disconnected by server"

pick another server and disable "minimize network impact" from the broadcasting settings.

Tried this, I had around 80% frames dropped after streaming for about 5 minutes. OBS was using around 40% of my CPU power, everything else I was doing 10%, so 50% was idling and still very laggy

Well, frame drops are network related, not CPU related. It just seems that you are unable to use the chosen bitrate, for a variety of possible reasons.

I'm at a loss as to what to do. I contacted my ISP and they said everything is OK on their end. Is there some setting or port or anything that would be throttling the amount of upload OBS can receive?

What does your speed say if you test at testmy.net?

I got this after about 10 minutes of waiting. It goes no where.

Uh oh, that's not good...what happens when you run ShaperProbe? (checks for packet shaping)

Okay I got the testmy.net to work. The results are rather pathetic.

As for this shaper thingy this is what I got

Code:

DiffProbe release. January 2012. Build 1008.
Shaper Detection Module.

Connected to server 38.107.216.47.

Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 6615 Kbps.
Downstream: 30890 Kbps.

The measurement will take upto 2.5 minutes. Please wait.

Checking for traffic shapers:

Upstream: Measurement aborted due to high packet loss rate.

Downstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 30277 Kbps.

Hmmm, have you tried setting up your PC as a DMZ through the router? Maybe something in router firewalls is getting in the way.

Verizon still has that stupid modem/router in one thing that they make you use, right?

Bensam123 · Mar 20, 2013

Quality shouldn't be set for 10, try 8, which should help with the frame drops. Frame drops could also be happening if your computer is so overloaded it can't properly put out frames.

As others are stating though, this may be a router issue. I don't know why it'd specifically affect your upload and not your download too. Your download would be more susceptible as it uses more bandwidth.

You also turned up your downscaled resolution to 1368x768 (which would be the CPU side of things).
