I'm trying to improve the stability of OBS streaming to my server PC running nginx RTMP streaming setup as per Doug Johnson's instructions.
OBS PC is a Windows 10 Pro 21H2 i7-9700K with 64GB RAM and RTX3090. OBS is streaming at a conservative 2500kb/s to another PC on this LAN. All cables are CAT6 and under 10' in length. Server is inches away from the stream PC.
It goes through a Linksys WRT3200ACM router where it connects to a Kingwin fanless server running Windows 10 Pro, i5-3337U CPU @1.8Ghz with 8GB RAM. This server runs a parallel nginx server on port 8080 for RTMP streaming.
The setup works, but I find that OBS cannot maintain a steady stream if the rate is 2500kb/s. If I lower it drastically to blocky, pixellated data rates, it seems more reliable.
Oddly, I can multistream to the internet using Sora Yuki's Multiple Output plug in to stream to Facebook, Youtube, Twitch and Odysee simultaneously over my gigabit fiber connection without any problems. It's streaming to another PC on my internal LAN that is running into OBS stream rate dropping to zero. This happens with no pattern I can discern. Sometimes OBS will drop out 3 times in ten minutes. Sometimes it will go for hours without stalling.
Even more odd, is large file transfers between PCs on the LAN are fast--better than 90 megabytes/sec. It's just RTMP that can't handle a few kilobytes/sec.
Are there LAN adapter settings that can be changed to optimize streaming over in house LAN? I've experimented with things like jumbo frame, but they prevent OBS from even connecting to the nginx server. What settings in the LAN adapter can be adjusted to make RTMP streaming reliable at HD rates?
