RTMPSockBuf_Fill, remote host closed connection

OBS Pop up message:

Could not access the specified channel or stream key. This could be because the key/channel is invalid, or because the server still thinks you are logged in.

RTMPSockBuf_Fill, remote host closed connection


Steps to take to fix this issue:
  • Reset your stream key
    • Go to Dashboard on Twitch and click on option "Stream Key"
    • Click button "show key", then "I understand"
    • Copy the new stream key
    • Go to OBS, Settings, Broadcast Settings
    • Paste the key into Play Path/Stream Key section, then apply and ok
    • Try go to live and see if that worked
  • Disable all firewall programs
    • Sometimes firewall programs will block obs from working correctly
    • Disable any firewall / malware program and see if it works
  • Make another Twitch account, use other key
    • Create another twitch account and use that key in obs
    • This will determine if your main account is locked up
    • Locking up is rare to happen but it has occurred a couple times for my account.
  • Verify your network connection / Internet is working correctly.
