Proxy Server listing!

Horror

Edit: This post is now obsolete. Xsplit now has a constantly up to date Proxy server list :) Leaving open for archives sake. You can find the best server list at http://api.justin.tv/api/ingest/xsplit.xml !

In this post you will find a temporary listing of the current RTMP addresses of the proxy servers for our website. Previously, we did not keep a good list of these servers for a few reasons.

The first major reason is that if we simply list the server addresses, we could have a lot of people picking the same address and filling up the server rather quickly. If this happens, all users on that server will experience lag. Our plan to fix this for the future is to let you know which servers are currently experiencing the heaviest load, so you can investigate stream lag issues on your own, without needing our input.

The second reason is that if we switch a location of a server, and it's old RTMP url changes, you will no longer be able to stream with the old url. This problem is starting to grow as programs like Xsplit hard code the locations into their own system, so that if we change the location, it could be days before they update their own list. Just keep in mind that any time you willingly stream to an alternative server, that there is a chance it could move. If you attempt to start your stream and are seeing nothing after picking a new RTMP address, check if others work first before escalating your issue. It could simply be that the server you used to use has moved.

Please keep in mind this is not our final idea for the RTMP list, but a temporary listing on these forums to help our elite users make their streams that much smoother. We plan on making much better, more frequently updated lists as soon as we can.

i need JPN server.

sansaisc2

why do i get rerouted from netherlands -> uk -> us -> netherlands if i want to traceroute the amsterdam live server????

Not everyone uses xsplit - list much appreciated.

The "global load balancing service" lets me stream at video bitrates between 195 Kbps and 568 Kbps at the moment of writing. (Picture is a horrible mess). It's been like this for at least a few days. Amsterdam server however accepts rates 2786 - 3450 Kbps, much better.

The global thing used to allow 5000 with zero frame drops before - yes, I'm talking about publishing statistics, not encoding. :)

ao a JPN server ould be lovelly, since we cant stream from japan whit some right quality...XD

I had 35mb/3mb . But i´m from Brazil, and i can´t broadcast at my full power =/

The "best" server for me right now, is located in  "* San Antonio, TX". This server allow me to broadcast with zero frame drop(360p), but using only half of my upload capacity . Some games i can broadcast at 720p, but other heavy ones like SFIV, its very problematic.

We need a Server in South America guys! we got a lot of Brazillians streamers, give us some love ^^

BTW, this is my channel =]

I'd love to see a Japan ingestion server added in the future. Japan's ripe for the picking (or so thinks USTREAM who has an office up in Shibuya :P) with Nico Nico Housou and other competitors, is highly infrastructured, and acts as a nice staging point for those between mainland Asia and USA (i.e. Oceania).

Make it happen? <3

Which one would be considered the best for an australian streamer?

Fire

@torparoxysm the Asia/Singapore server is Aus' best bet

metromorph

which is the best for a England streamer ?

bgeorge

which is the best for a England streamer ?

A UK friend of mine has good luck with EU: London, UK (Secondary) - rtmp://live-lhr-backup.justin.tv/app

Fire

@metromorph probably london

@Fire

Atleast half the ISP's in Australia have a terrible routing path to singapore, and many esports streamers including myself have to use the US West servers to get an acceptable connection.

Fire

@shieldehh from my point of view ( and make note I have nothing to do with Twitch's infrastructure ) there's only so much that can be done because the current state of AU's infrastructure is less than ideal.

Okay, hate to ask, but I've been having a bitch of a time streaming. I live in Denver, so what would be my best bet for a server? I've been using the main server and getting terrible stuttering at 360 at 2000 kbps. It's not a bandwidth problem, and my CPU should be able to handle it just fine.

what Stream do I use in Norway?
