I am really frustrated, around 2 weeks ago I used to be able to stream amazingly. Hardly had any dropped frames. Now I drop frames like crazy I am trying to figure this out but to no avail. Can anyone help me out please would be greatly appreciated.

This is my log for today where I streamed for maybe 10 minutes.

Heres some examples

if you're sure that you haven't changed i single setting i suggest that you change the ingest server to something else not necessarily the closest.

also aac at 320kbps is not really gonna gain anything when comes to streaming. 128 kbps is variable and more than transparent/enough .
