Question / Help Why is my stream so pixelated?

Everyone can stream in 1080p in perfect quality. You just need the hardware and the bandwith to push the quality.
Mostly that means: at least 4mbit/s upload (stable) and a decent overclocked FX-8350 or i7 (sandy, or newer) CPU to handle the x264 load while encoding 1080p 30-60fps on the fly.
The other thing is being able to watch it.
1080p hits hard on the hardware while decoding it, so people with slow systems and/or mobile devices can get in trouble.
Second one (affects twitch.tv mostly) is the delivery of the videofeed to your viewers. You can send 1080p without problems, but not everybody would be able to watch it without buffering because ISPs cant get their crap together and transfer a live video without buffering to the people from all over the world.
Partnership on Twitch.TV just means that you a) have a transcoding option for people with shitty hardware/connection, so they can lower the quality. And it will be avaliable anytime, for non-partnered people this will become active after they hit a decent viewer number live. And b) you have to option to monetize your content via ads and subscription (4,99$, 50% of it is yours) and get some additional benefits like smileys, sub-icon whatever.

your problem is not in the stream only, thats what i try to explain u buddy and why i sended u this link few times. u have a resolution issue anywhere, u setup 1920x1080 in windows but u run all time at 1536x864. your obs log is only the first time u saw this did u tryed it ? its only 1 click

what says that window ? 1920x1080 or 1536x864 ? 1536x864 is a really shitty resolution, u have 16:9 display runs on a near 4:3 solution ^^
here is a really nice manual where u can see how resolutions works

Ah well, all this trouble. I mainly wanted to stream for a select few friends but maybe another time. Either way, I know it's not my internet and my PC can record in 1080 no trouble, I don't know why it's so jittery when streaming.

Then stream to a different service. Just check out the OBS service selection, there is almost anything. If you stream without music, you can do it on youtube (or if you have the new beta streaming option). Otherwise use hitbox. First: they dont have the bandwith problems, second - their bandwith cap is higher, so you can push out higher bitrate for crisp videoquality (if your friends have the connection to watch it!).
Its not on your end. Twitch is sometimes twitchy. While i can stream and watch anything with a max bitrate of 4500-5000 (6000kbps upload, so sad), a small amount of people gets buffering at 2500 or higher for no reason at all. Every investigation points at their ISP being stupid enough to not deliver a proper connection/routing to San Francisco. And no it doesnt matter where you live or what server you are streaming to - no transcoding means > west coast USA, San Francisco. Have fun telling your ISP that your routing to the twitch server there is crap - you will most likely hit a wall of ignorance.
hmm, how many upload u have ? maybe its this, i stream in full hd too 60 fps its np, u have any laggs on my channel ??
