Question / Help You Tube Streaming Tutorial

Jtime · May 26, 2013

Anyone have a good tutorial for streaming OBS on YouTube for Machinima Partners.
A few problems I'm running into:

1. During Ingestion section, there is NO YouTube video preview box for me that normally appears on the right side.
2. Inputting the Stream Name and Primary Server URL info. There isn't a place to input sever name in OBS Settings/Broadcast Settings menu.

thanks in advance!

Thanks for that!
While, I'm sure my settings are for around 720P, still getting this:

Primary stream:
We recommend you use a stream bitrate value of (2500 Kbps). The current bitrate value (224.00 Kbps) for the stream is lower than the recommended bitrate.

A 720p stream requires a lot of bitrate. 224 kbps is not sufficient for streaming at all, probably not even 360p. Your stream will look horrible with 224 kbps at 720p which is probably why YouTube is giving you that warning.

Yes, I know..all my setting are 720p. Not sure why I'm getting this?

Well if you know the consequences then you can ignore it. I don't know if YouTube allows you to stream while ignoring their recommendation but you should be able to stream regardless. Look around the settings in YouTube to start streaming.

Edit: Sorry, once you have your settings set in YouTube and OBS then start streaming in OBS.

I do notice that on the bottom right of the OBS software, beside FPS it's stays around 130 kb/s(this number bounces around). What does that mean?
When I stream to twitch with theses settings it's fine and looks great.

Can you post a log file?

Jtime · May 26, 2013

Sorry, don't know how to do that stuff.

The last log shows that you're just using a bitmap image which is static, unless it's a .gif file that has animation. If it's static then your bitrate will be low because there's not a lot of data to encode. Having animation in the stream will cause the bitrate to increase. If you want a constant bitrate, regardless of animation, then enable CBR.

yeah, it just happened that I was parked on our live stream 'poster' graphic

YouTube is not receiving enough video to maintain smooth streaming. As such, viewers will experience buffering.
The stream's current bit rate (342.00 Kbps) is lower than the recommended bit rate. We recommend that you use a stream bit rate of 4500 Kbps.
