No Longer Able to Send 8000kbps bitrate to Twitch
Hey everyone,
For the past year and a half, I've been sending ~7500-8000 bitrate to Twitch but just in the past month or so, it has started to cause major issues and I can't go above 6000.
In the past, sending above 6000 would show as unstable bitrate in the Twitch Dashboard but that was the extent of the issues.
Now if I bump to 8000, OBS won't hold the bitrate, the health indicator bars will go yellow/red and my live stream will get major latency/buffering/all the bad stuff.
I know of other creators who are still able to send a bitrate above 6000 so I'm really not sure what's preventing me from doing the same.
I understand it's not a "supported" feature of Twitch but any insight would be appreciated!
Some details that may or may not be of importance...
OBS 31.0.0 beta1
"Ignore streaming service setting recommendations" box checked
Aitum Multistream plugin installed
NVENC H.264 encoding
Canvas set to 1440p for YT streams, downscaling to 1080p for Twitch
Internet Connection: 205Mbps Down, 122Mbps Up (at time of writing this)
