I had the video quality scaled to a 640x480 resolution, video bitrate at 1200 and audio bitrate at 128. I did a test stream and asked a few friends to tune in.
Here are a few details of what I've done… Ok, I've gotten things running a little smoother. I'm betting that it's a software problem, many people have the same issue, and guys who have tried wirecast with the same computer get good results.
Many people have this same problem with macs, so I'm thinking there's something changed in ffmpeg or whatever OBS uses to convert to stream and that's causing the problems, this happens on very top quality computers as well, and I had the same problem with cocoa split (it's using the ffmpeg as well) running 320x240 resolution. Twitch says the stream quality is excellent so it's not dropping packages either, which would indicate router issues, if you try to stream too high bitrate twitch will tell you about the stream quality. I've tried streaming with two macs now, and older mac mini dual core and newer i5 both running yosemite and clean installs, nothing else installed than obs and capture software.īoth macs have lag issues and it's not really a 'lag', since lag would be contstant, what happens is that the stream works in cycles so you get a good few seconds and then you get freeze frames for couple seconds, and OBS tells that there's no dropped frames at all.
