I'm confused since there are conflicting information. Someone said to avoid using more resources we can just set the settings to "Get from OBS" which then if you're uploading 9000kbps then you're only sending 9000kbps and not 18000kbps if you're streaming to 2 platforms which will mean it will be the same as restream without watermark/having to pay.

But on the other hand someone said you will always need to upload 18000kbps if you're sending 9000kbps to 2 platforms even with "Get from OBS" option.

Can someone clarify this? Thank you.

If you are using this plugin and you are sending 9,000 Kbps to the 2 platforms, you will need to be able to send 18,000 Kbps.

Now the 'get from OBS' option just prevents the encorder from doing double encoding. You are using the settings of OBS so it is less processing but does not change the fact you are still sending to 2 platforms therefore 2 x 9000 Kbps

With Restream, Castr, Splitstrem and similar providers you will send one stream, 9,000 Kbps, to them and they will "restream" the stream to the 2 or more platforms for you.

Now the general recommendation is that is you are pushing a stream of X Kbps you should try and have 2 to 2.5 that amount in upload capacity. The reason is you want to ensure you have headroom for other activity that might happening on the network and or fluctuation in the upload speeds.

Ahh I see. Thank you for this information.

So "Get from OBS" makes it so CPU/GPU usage doesn't change when you're streaming from 1 or multiple streams?

Hello everyone, I've made a review of my settings ... creepy english skills, but maybe it will help you: https://youtu.be/l1jCnNBX_ag . At least it seems to be, that the plugin get problems with the anticheat "BattlEye" but I can't confirm it complete until now. Did someone else got problems when he plays PUBG, Destiny 2 or Escape from Tarkov like me?
