Did you have SmartBOOST prioritizing Twitch at the time? Was Congestion Control set?

Hi Fraser.

I wasn't aware I could set 'twich' -- I've done so now.  Also, I'm not sure where to find Congestion Control, and what it should be set to.

Go to Ping Optimizer>Advanced. You should see the  Congestion Control sliders.

I had no settings different than their default settings.

Change Congestion Control to 70/70 and set it to always then see if you get better results please

It did fine for a short period... then it didn't. I actually had to kill OBS, and reconnect (after that large block around 11:17PM est my time) - After I reconnected,  you see how it performed.  Very strange.  Also, during that 'outage' I was able to stream with no issues to Kick.

Again tonight -- was super odd.  I changed nothing from the previous night... but had this HARD connection issue with average of 4K connection for the first 5-7 minutes... then after that I quick streaming to kick, which is when you see it level out and perform just fine for the rest of the night... So, not sure what's going on there -- Almost seems like it's considering 'kick' and 'twitch' as 'twitch' and capping  that connection entirely... but not sure how to even show/prove that.

Thoughts?

OBS log decipher.  Only thing that changed, obviously was my XR500 > R3

Is SmartBOOST showing that you're using Twitch at the time? If so, are you seeing anything else at the time using significant traffic? If you delete all other prioritizations other than Twitch does it work any better?

What is the model of the ISP modem/router the R3 is connected to? Are ALL devices connected to the R3?

Cable Modem - Model: ET2251

All Devices are connected to R3, via Hardwire, and 2/5G wifi (22 currently) -- mostly IoT's

I'll check tonight. What's the difference between Livestream and Twitch? (are they interchangeable, is Twitch the streamer's side, and Livestream the viewer's side?).  As I have it currently:

I presume that Video & Streaming is from a viewer's stand-point, as my son's TV is steady streaming videos on Youtube.

Livestream is a group so it'll cover all applications/services within that group (albeit it not many within it) but it does cover Twitch so you only need one or the other being prioritized there. Try it with just Twitch as that's more targeted and see if it improves
