The Honest Tiger

Well an entire week without any issues so looks like it all came down to stability issues on streamlab's side. Thank you for the support though Fraser, hopefully you won't have to hear from me in the distant future.

Just a quick update, seems I was right in the beginning, there was stability issues at streamlabs. Dual output seemed fine tonight but I'll get back to you maybe Friday to check.

I know, you'd think it'd be smart enough to choose one over the other and let's not celebrate yet, I need to test this theory.

My word I think I figured it out, basically, my youtube stream is using it's own stream key and url so my pc is trying to stream to youtube directly and via streamlabs at the same time.

Personally I think it might be the streamlabs servers. The way it works is rather than overloading my pc by it handling the data to two different platforms, the data is sent to the streamlabs servers which then distributes it to the platforms. By doing solo platforms, I'm streaming directly to the servers myself rather than through streamlabs via dual output.

PC wired to VM as you suggested.

Well I can stream to tiktok but youtube just buffers like crazy now.

Yeah my PC has a reserved IP as do all the devices and yeah I put that to open and I'll give that a try.

Yeah, the hub is in router mode with the router in DMZ, apart from that, I've made no other changes other than the ones you suggested but I undid when it didn't work.

So I just started a stream, the LED showed for like 10 seconds then stopped for the gaming console rule but nothing for the rule 443 rule.

Nothing, no packets sent or received and I know how to set up the rules... auto congestion control, PC traffic prioritization set up as a games console and rule 443 set up for both source and end point but no LED.

So, an interesting development that I don't believe should have happened. With congestion set to auto and the 443 and console rules set, Traffic Prioritization was not activating but I managed a 3 hour stream with no issues. However, when I switch congestion to Always and removed those rules, I literally couldn't connect to any sort of server at all.

What about the wireless setting? Also, am I applying this to WAN?

So I'm setting my PC up with the Games Console option then adding another rule for port 1 to 443 for source and 443 for destination?

Pretty much yeah but the problem just happened again now during stream with the settings you told me to do a few days ago with 20000kbps and I made a rule were every port is opened for my pc and it was active last night and even that didn't work. How can youtube not be receiving enough video for smooth streaming at 20000kbps??
