Well there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with my connection despite the 0 quality across the board. I'm able to consistently stream for long periods at 5k Mbps with no dropped frames or stability problems, so whatever the "problem" is that this tool is reporting it's not actually related to my connection whatsoever, and I've had no luck in tracking down what if anything could be causing it, so I don't know. Hard to trust it at this point.

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to setup my system for some streaming. So I downloaded this app to find out what best twitch server to use. After running the program, i get a RTT result but the Bandwidth for all servers just result to "Failed." Is there something that I should adjust to the settings? Or given my result, streaming is already impossible.

Thanks!
Carlos

That probably means your stream key was incorrect.

So my bandwidth is good enough to stream the content I want, however the quality is lower than the recommended 80. I've also noticed on multiple (and random) occasions that the bandwidth will suddenly drop from 2000+ down to 600 and stays there for a little bit, then goes back to normal. If someone else on the connection is downloading/uploading something, would this affect it? Or is there something else that I should be worried about?

Hello, I tried this tool but it gives me only quality 0 results.
I am from france.
Please, tell me what Quality means and how to improve it.
I am a game developer an I was going to make a twitch game so my plans are compromised if i don't find a solution.

If I run a test longer than 10 seconds the quality is always 0 for all servers. What does that mean?
Here's a test at 10 seconds. Some nights of streaming I get maybe 1% dropped frames while other nights are bad and I get 10% and a few disconnects. This is using the auto setting in OBS. I live in central Illinois but the Chicago server always has the worst quality for some reason but the best speed and ping.

EDIT: I changed servers to Dallas and set bind to IP and advanced networking options in OBS and the stream was nearly flawless today. 0.0% drop. 59 frames in a 3 hour stream. I guess Chicago server is just a bad server to stream to even though it is way closer than the others.

Holy fuck, I've been trying to find a solution to my problem for the past few weeks since I've been streaming and encountering this issue on many occasions throughout my streams.

The problem with me was that my router is actually a router/modem combo (Motorola SBG6782-AC). A 2 in 1 type of scenario. I didn't know this until now because apparently those types of router/modem/Wi-Fi combo units are always a problem. In order to fix it, I had to put the router/modem (or whatever you want to call it) in "bridge" mode, and here are my results:

[image loading]

It's still not as good as what's recommended in terms of quality, but already I'm definitely seeing an improvement to what I had before. I'll run some stream tests to see my frames drop again because that's what really affected me.

Never mind, I misunderstood what bridging does. I've been getting random DCs from the router so that wasn't ideal. I'll be hooking up the router/modem combo to a main router and then bridge, and then see what happens.

Hello everyone. I would be really really appreciated, if some1 would look at this and maybe find a solution.

I Stream for years at twitch via OBS and all was fine. But since weeks i have got a lot of frame drops, so the viewers can hear the sound clearly and fine, but the Video is freezing for the "Frame-Drop-Time" (1-2 Seconds). This happens 1 times in 10 seconds i guess.

The funny thing is, sometimes it works fine! (rare moments..)

So this is what i've done allready to solve the problem:

Contact ISP (Changed Router twice) - they said all is ok (Upload is fine) - btw. i have 5 mb upload.
I tryed another PC with other wires - same problem, obs has still framedrops
I installed all new drivers and OBS has all accesses by Antivirus Kasperky

This is an actual Log of my OBS-Settings:
https://gist.github.com/8cd65979c88d08e558d42a65423bacfd

Speedttests showing, that my upload is stable and at 4-5 MB/s
Twitchtest SHows a QUality of 0 everywhere
but well, i will get some pics in here...

Twitchinspector Screen:
picload.org

Twitchtest Screen:
picload.org

Speedtestscreen:

Please help.

Thank you very much, for Questions or Solutions answer here or add me at steam (twitchtv|Streat)

with kind regards

thats the exactly problem! :|

What a difference a new cable modem makes. Went from a sb6120 to a mb8600. Interesting that the chicago server still blows and I live in central illinois. Guess I'll be using Houston's.

Can someone help me out with a hypothesis?...here is a test I just ran with my desktop streaming/gaming rig.

[image loading]

And yet my macbook (with windows vmware) gets worse results but still manages to get better quality? And of course a 100 quality from my closest server.

[image loading]

Is this because my desktop has a wider ranger of upload instability? Aka... with more speed, there's more variance, and thus shows worse quality? I'm already calling my ISP to discuss my poor upload stability, but this seemed like my only explanation. Is there something I can investigate on my desktop's end to see if something is causing this issue? I don't think it's hardware related, but I could be wrong. I've literally tried every single thing in the book when reading about OBS and how to improve quality/dropped frames, but am at a loss. Especially considering I have streamed 6+ hour sessions early in the year without a hitch.

Hi, I usually stream perfectly, but recently with OBS the square on the bottom right which used to be green is now red, so I have done the twitch bandwidth tests again and they all fail: [image loading]
