Yeah right on. I still think you don't have to turn everything else off unless you are doing backups or so.

Also, it's the video that's the hog. If you turn the frame rate et. Al down and perhaps just show the spinning LP, you'll be pushing less data.

For example, take a look at some of the radio streams. They sometimes just have a static image or QR code. So their frame rate is like 1 because the image never changes and then they are just pushing audio.

But yeah, it's all experimentation.

Good advice, I’ll try dropping the frame rates and see what happens.

My initial settings were on a video saying ‘how the get the best from OBS’ or something like that so they’re probably optimal visual settings. I want the audio quality high, the visuals are way less important. Cheers:)

Yeah right on. You inspired me to look into audio streaming. There's still the OG icecast for pure internet radio stations.

But, most everyone is switching to HLS streaming with video. It could do audio only, but I think perhaps the interest isn't there.

So the hack is basically a static video 😀
