Stream to FB live - Video lag every now and then but audio is totally fine?

[chomlee]

Good day all!

I have just started using OBS studio for streaming my live music to Facebook. I've tried many settings for the best possible stream with my equipment and setup. For some reason i am having video lag every now and then throughout the entire stream but the audio is perfectly fine! the OBS log is too overwhelming for me to understand. Can anyone please kindly shed some light or point me to the right direction to solve the issue?

My setup:
1. DSLR -> capture card -> OBS
2. music instruments -> audio interface -> DAW -> OBS

Actual stream start time is at 20:22:13.994 according to my OBS log.

Thank you in advance!

You're having network issues, so somewhere along the line from your computer to facebook, there's an issue. You can start with using a wired connection and see if things clear up. If things still result in dropped frames (monitor this in real-time using the stats window), then the problem is either with your bitrate being too high, or a problem with either facebook or your ISP.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PROMPT REPLY!
I never thought of network issues as it doesnt make sense to me that the audio was fine. I will try on wired connection as suggested by you and monitor accordingly!
