This isn't a recording/encoding performance issue, it's a network thing. I'm not entirely sure if it's twitch or me, so I thought I might find a way to setup a small delay buffer to smooth out uploading to twitch or whoever.

maybe double check using some other streaming platform, like hitbox.tv? check if the stuttery playback is there too
[QUOTE=Brt5470;44435782]Anyone with streaming knowledge know any sort of method to buffer an upload?
I'm on Wifi, but I do have great bandwidth. Bout 70-80Mbps(Real world) speed to my router, my upload is about 10-12mbps. But I sometimes drop frames while streaming at maybe 2-2.5mbps. OBS reports dropped frames in terms of the upload, not the encoding. I'm wondering if there is some sort of method to run a small delay but let it buffer data to then feed off to twitch. Twitch runs their own delay but it's only for their infastructure's benefit.
I don't even know if what I want is possible. My connection is spiky, I want to smooth it out without just dropping my bitrate even more.
Edit: Someone by the name of TomE449 had PM'd me a few weeks ago explaining doing dual PC streaming with a dedicated final encode machine, but that's a different topic. I'm ok with the stuff I'm doing right now, just want to solve some upload issues.[/QUOTE]
My WiFi connection was "spiky" but once I switched to ethernet, my connection is now solid as a rock.
[QUOTE=PredGD;44435576]when it comes to torrents, I always use my VPS, but for regular downloads I really don't see much point. and if the server is on your LAN, then why not go directly to your own desktop?
if the server is local, the only purpose I see is using it as a dumping ground for files or a backup for everything you download, making it act like a buffer.[/QUOTE]
Its usually for slow downloads. Usually on the basis of "wow, I found this cool thing, but I have to download 4 GB at 10 KB/s off this shitty file host and it doesn't exist anywhere else and I'm going to bed in an hour." It happens a lot if what your looking for is obscure. The desktop I use at home is far too loud for me to sleep with but the server is very quiet. Back when we had an extremely shitty cable modem, this was done on a regular basis. Also my home desktop is on wireless, I tend to keep torrent traffic off the wifi since it can kill the speeds for everyone else in the house. The network login expires for the school desktop at 4:00 AM at university, so if your downloading anything, it stops. At home I'm *mostly* guaranteed around the clock connectivity.
Its very convenient to be able to access ISOs and videos and such anywhere. Could you argue it would be faster to download again? Only sometimes, like Linux ISOs or Digital River since they tend to have good speeds.
Ordinarily yes I would download locally. Its generally under specific circumstances and its not usually the servers only purpose.
I gained about 1mb/s on downloads switching to ethernet too. :v:

It's consistent too.
You gotta decide whether you want full speed or convenience.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;44436495]When I had my netbook I was on wifi for about 3 hours. I could not stand the shitty ping spikes (it was really badly made and the wifi module on the netbook itself was bad) I reduced my ping by about 20 (was 100-130 just playing a quake live game in sydney) and it was a consistent 80 solid just by going ethernet.
Wifi itself in theory sounds good but in practice it's crap.[/QUOTE]
You also have to be aware of the actual spectrum being used around you. If its mostly quiet, Wifi isn't all that bad. But if its really congested like a city or god forbid an apartment your going to have tons of issues. Construction of the building will be a giant factor as well.
At my folks house, the Wifi is actually pretty reasonable considering they have one of those Cisco modem/wifi boxes (it even support 5 Ghz, which I was amazed). The connection is very consistent (I guess it helps the house was built out of cardboard :v:), and you can get decent speeds. Which is good because the modem is in a place where putting a physical PC isn't convenient (only thing on Ethernet is a Mac Mini G4).
It will cry if your doing node to node file transfers though :v:
This is the only thing where my Wifi might be the problem. I'll try hitbox and see. Like I said, I get tons of real-world bandwidth on my 5ghz Wifi, minimum around 10MB/s. No other 5ghz devices or networks around, so it's clear of atleast network interference.

That's why you plug it into the car's DC jack. It becomes hot potato but it works.
For some reason, I can't get my computer to add this printer from the CUPS server even though I explicitly told it to be shared.

god damn all these dell optiplexes on campus are dying left and right, we've had 3 machines die for no reason in the past week... Old-ish optiplex 360s and 330s, mostly.

And there's an old Dell PowerEdge SC 430 sitting behind me that has a wireless card in it because it's a replacement for a dorm computer that died...
God damn this place is poor.

Yeah, he's been completely ignored this season.
I hated Barry as a character personally. Like just I did not find him interesting at all.
Also just got off a two hour Papers Please stream. We hit 9 whole viewers and sat around 7 most of the night. That's pretty awesome I think.
Got my 50mm 1.8 FD lens, now I just need an adaptor

Barry's not supposed to be interesting, he's supposed to be a wildcard. He's the antagonist that can come along at any time and fuck anything up. He's chaotic.

My problem with him was that it was too obvious he like a character checkbox.
"Man, we need something to happen. I KNOW WE'LL SOMEHOW GET BARRY INVOLVED." kinda... thing

FD lenses are nice, I use a Sigma 28mm 2.8 for video and macro sometimes, it's easier to manually focus when your focus ring turns more than 45 degrees :v:

I got it for ~45USD and it's in great condition. Did I get a good deal?

Considering a new (EF mount) one is $100, I'd say yes
You'll probably find yours has better glass than the cheap nifty fifties anyway

It takes pretty nice macro stuff

I probably should've cleaned that before I took a photo of it :v:
[editline]3rd April 2014[/editline]
The best part about this sigma is, the diameter at the end is exactly the size of an EF mount, so you can flip the lens and it sits in the mount perfectly :v:

I never saw a person in public doing this, but I can imagine looking really silly.
Time to see if my new network card shall work.
Lets hope it fucking does.
Ok, so the NUC is able to game stream now, but HD movies over the network are still a bit laggy due to Ubuntu, I'm looking at replacing it's GUI. Perhaps it needs more than 4 GB of RAM.

Oh well, atleast i´ll keep my new ethernet card for now.
