I'd recommend trying fq_codel qos. edgerouter x, ddwrt, openwrt, ipfire have it.
ERX is only $50 and it will keep your latency low and you won't need two isp.

what is your upload speed on 1 connection and what are you streaming at?
if it's really tight it might not work well.
gaming uses very little so it's easy to squeeze through.


in advanced settings it just shows network providers not binding and stuff
 
There is a program called forcebindip that might work. It forces certain programs to use certain interfaces/ip. It has issues with certain programs that are not simple executatbles. It also seems to get broken by microsoft when they put out patches for win 10.

The other method which tends to always work but it very tedious is to use the ROUTE command. What you do is delete the 0.0.0.0 for one of the interfaces this will then force all the traffic onto one interface. For all traffic you what to use the interface you deleted the 0.0.0.0 on you must now do ROUTE ADD for every destination ip you want to use it. You can see the IP's being used by applications in the network tab of the resource monitor, you may have to do a nslookup on the ones it has dns names. This does not work well for thing that use lots of different IP say a web browser. You need to put stuff like that on the defualt one...ie the one you did not delete the 0.0.0.0 entry.
