AV1 Streaming on YouTube RTMPS Always Leads to Buffering Stream

Hi everyone!

I have been trying to stream with AV1 ever since the RTMP spec was updated (Enhanced RTMP). I've tried different scenarios (lower bitrate, higher bitrate, VBR/CBR, simultaneous stream/record, stream only) using my AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and AMD HW AV1 (speed, balanced & quality presets) and have found no success. Myself and my viewers observe my stream eventually buffer severely, when I end the stream it skips those long periods of buffering, as if data wasn't being transmitted at all. I doubt it's an ISP issue given that I can stream/record using HEVC & h264 without issue up to around 15Mbps bitrate. When I analyze the log that OBS generates it never seems to make out any serious problems with my system. I have tried while gaming & not gaming (so when my GPU is under load and not under load) and it makes no difference either.

Would really appreciate any support or insight for this!

Here's the recent logs from when I was giving it a try today. I tried different bitrates & different presets.
