OBS/splitcam problem

[angeIic_asian08]

please help me, i have been streaming with 3 sites(stripchat, bongacams,cam4) at the same time using OBS and tried to use splitcam too but i have the same problem with both app.
when i stream using OBS, my stream on stripchat and bongacam is good and not freezing or lag but my cam4 is really freezing even i tried different settings. my computer is high specs, my internet is 300mbps download and 600mbps upload.
so i tried using splitcam and i encounter the same problem but only stripchat is not freezing, the rest (bongacam,cam4) is really lag and cam freezing even i tried different settings or i even tried the same settings that works on stripchat, i really tried everything i want it all not to freeze like stripchat at the same time while streaming, have anyone here encounter this? do you have solution? thank you

We will need some more information, whats your upload speed? what bitrate are you using? You are split broadcasting to those 3 sites using RTMP? (like where you put the server information into obs for each of them?)

This is the settings that works on stripchat. But it doesnt work on cam4 and bongacams. And my internet speed is 300mbps

My internet speed. It works on stripchat but the bongacam doesnt work well on splitcam and the cam4 doesnt work well on splitcam and OBS

Ok but how are you sending to the 3 sites with obs, are you using rtmp splitting like for example..

Yes i am using rtmp even on OBS and SPLITCAM

I have 0 experience with modern splitcam, only OBS. When you use OBS You dont have it set to change the stream between sites right? All 3 are set to use OBS settings which you have set to quick sync?

yes it is. how about splitcam?

 

[cbhours]

If it's set that way in obs then you shouldn't have any problem. Can you provide screenshots of the OBS multiple stream method?

It doesn't look like your internet is the issue but streaming to 3 sites at once can be quite difficult for some computers / laptops as each site needs to be encoded and sent individually without re-streaming.

I highly recommend enabling re-streaming if u can with Splitcam or choosing a free service like ShineModel to offload a bit of this work. It may introduce a small delay into the stream but it's been worth it for me. Plus the ShineModel browser makes multiple streams easier to handle anyway.

Otherwise you can check Task Manager / Activity Monitor for resource usage whilst streaming and I think OBS has some options that allow you to check for dropped frames, hardware usage etc... I don't use OBS because it's a bit much for my M1 Macbook haha

You can also check if the stream settings are different for all 3 sites and identify any differences. For e.g. if the CAM4 settings are different to Stripchat or Bongacams.

Ok tbf i'm still a bit stumped with the technical stuff regarding re-streaming so it may not help that much. I think each stream still has to be encoded separately but it is worth giving it a try at least haha.

From the stream options you shared though it does look like you're using QuickSync video which is a hardware encoder. This would normally be better than a software encoder but it could signify you're using integrated graphics which could be difficult to do for 3 sites at once. I'd definitely recommend changing the encoder if you can and playing around with that if you have the time.

Otherwise if nothing works it might be an idea to accept that streaming to 3 sites may be a bit too much for your current computer.
At that point i'd look at which sites you earn more from and prioritising them or alternating between sites.

...

You are just splitting the rtmp stream so the encoding is only done once unless you specify different encoding settings for each stream.

I guess that makes sense. I need to research this a bit more to be honest i'm a bit stumped myself. I do know trying to stream to multiple platforms at once was very difficult on my laptop though. 1 was a lot easier, just not sure why yet. My internets fine as well.

Shinemodel and Restreaming did help a lot as well. I'm just not sure why.
