Sadly its not the same for me. It does seem daft I cant select a slightly lower quality setting for even playback.


Try the test I did on YT last night: https://gaming.youtube.com/watch?v=hcEMCz9dqik

Better?

Miles better. It was also 1080p60. Looked maybe a wee bit softer. I don't tend to have a problem watching Pedz streams or actually one of your earlier ones I tuned into.

You can stream to both YouTube and Twitch with restream.

Now that the archive has processed on that, some thoughts:

9Mbps is too high
I can't maintain a solid upstream at that rate. I checked the stats on some of the archives that TWA said worked/didn't on Twitch. Pedz's streams are about 2Mbps, the DS3 ones that were good for him were 5Mbps, and the ones that didn't work were 9Mbps. Some of my Twitch streams at 9 actually worked fine, and it would appear smooth if your connection and GPU could handle it, but some others (if my connection was being taxed) weren't even getting to Twitch properly and the archive was strawberry floated. On YouTube, initial testing at 9Mbps was great, but in the stream last night, it started falling apart a bit so I dropped it down to 6Mbps and it was rock solid from that point forward

The YouTube dashboard really is great
The affect of not being able to maintain it at 9Mbps was that the game audio died and only video and my voice were being broadcast. Because I can't hear that issue as I'm streaming, I would never have known, but after a couple of minutes, I looked to the dashboard and it was reporting audio issues and suggested it wasn't receiving a stream from me that matched my target bitrate. I was able to rewind the stream to see the affect it was having on it, so I lowered it and it immediately went back to green status, staying there for the rest of it. Sharing your stream is a breeze, and the time elapsed is prominently displayed, which is relevant because...

YouTube archiving takes a REALLY long time
A side effect of having transcoding is that it has to churn through the video and output it in a ton of different formats when saving to your videos. Normally, YT processing takes 5-10 minutes for any video I upload, but those are short. A 4GB+ 90 minute stream takes about 4 hours to pop up on your channel. It might make sense to break up a marathon level stream into 1 or 2 hour chunks so that it doesn't take forever to finish processing.
