Around the beginning of sept there was an update to OBS, since then OBS has been acting very funky. This was the update that happened just as twitch started asking for the 2 sec keyint. Now its taken various testings here and there and trying this and that. Finally we've discovered a few things.

Old versions of OBS still work (Encoder: Open Broadcaster Software v0.467a (test 2) with mind numbing settings(by this I mean..just terribly inefficient) work but new version every time a keyframe is added spikes and it kinda glitches where the sound mutes for a split second and the video pauses. It does this both when streaming and local recording. This is a log of it not working. I feel like there is something obvious that encoder to be like wtf..but I can't see it. halp.

Its a friend's stream, and I've been trying to help...I help people all the time and never has this issue come up. When you do a vod analysis the video bit rate is..sooo spikey its like 500->2300 swapping each second its so odd, I know its not his net since it happens with local recording too...My brain is fried :(

I don't see any major problem, outside of maybe just a few too many frames being duplicated (which can happen for a number of reasons). I would love to see a vod of the problem if possible.

I was really hoping for some deus ex machina, I know that vod isnt great, we can produce a better one with more moving parts. Would it be helpful to also make a local recording and upload that somewhere?
