Question / Help Weird upload Problem Higher works, Lower drops frames

[Rykzon]

Hey Forum,
my upload is 2300(im sure of that)
so when I stream at 1700 obs is going to get stuck at 1666 upload at drop massive frames. I can stream at 1800or 1900 just fine though. Whats up with that?


log of 1700 stream https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108955574/2014-03-15-1838-56.log
log of 1800 stream https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108955574/2014-03-15-1841-57.log

I know the streams are short, but this is 100% reproducible so far in 10+ tries.

Im lost.

Try the things recommended on this thread: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/dropped-frames-disconnecting-lag-read-this-first.8870/

Well I can stream on a higher bitrate without frame drops, so I dont know how anything there is gonna help me. I tried different servers/services, no shaper.

 

[dodgepong]

Well, it does seem strange. What if you try streaming at 1600kbps? Do you still get frame drops?

Is there a reason you want to stream at 1700 instead of 1800?

 

[Rykzon]

1600 caps at 1666 too with the same outcome.

I would like to stream at a lower bandwidth to leave some bandwidth for my roommates :P

 

[dodgepong]

Can you try some other bit rates further down? It's strange that it starts dropping when your bit rate is too low. I would be curious to hear what happens at 1000, or 1200, or 800, or other bit rates in that area.

 

[Rykzon]

very low works fine, its just that area around 1666

 

[dodgepong]

Can you try turning off Automatic Low Latency mode and see how that changes things?

 

[Rykzon]

Yep thats it, low latency makes it cap at 1666 and drop frames in a really weird way. Like every 10s at first 1-2 then 100 and so on.

 

[dodgepong]

Ah, so disabling that makes it work?

That's generally a setting that should not be enabled unless you know what you're doing.

Strangely though, it worked for a long time and started with this yesterday.
