Question / Help YouTube Live Stream Error: Please change the video's container format.

[Mike Russell]

I love this software thank you to the developers. It's so full of features and easy to use!

This is one issue I'm having. It doesn't seem to have any impact on my stream stability but it comes up every 5 or so minutes during my live stream. I'd love to know what it is, why it comes up and if it's possible to stop this error appearing?

STREAM STATUS: BAD

Primary stream:

Please change the video's container format. The current container format is not correct for this configuration.

Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

Thanks. I figured it out and it was related to having a private RTMP server setup.

I posted the solution in the discussion for that thread where others are having the same issue.
