lagging and encoding error blah blah, i am sick and tired of frozen video.

i have been having a smooth run till now.

If you have any further questions please do let me know and if anyone has a solution, you're literally my hero haha. I don't think it's my RAM as i am sitting on a comfortable 16GB as well as an Intel core I5 processor. I do not think it is an internet connection thing as i have run several tests and my upload and download speeds surpass the requirements for OBS/Twitch.

Just to Clarify, my capture card is a USB 2.0 HDMI video capture and i am streaming my nintendo switch gameplay. Has this happened to anyone else out there? This problem is quite temperamental and happens most of the time but not every time but it is so frustrating, I have invested quite a bit into this streaming thing so I have to get this to work. This typically happens anywhere between 2 minutes to an hour of streaming Restarting it doesn't really fix anything as the chances of this occurring again are high when I start the stream again.

When steaming on OBS things will be going smoothly with no problems until all of a sudden the video capture will just freeze, when this happens my stream keeps on going with no other issues, my voice is still being heard, viewers can still hear the gameplay, OBS is still completely functional but the video capture just stays frozen and my viewers can just see a frozen screen and the only way i can rectify it is by restarting OBS. I hope you're all well, I never usually turn to these forums for help but believe me.
