I’ve been watching streams on Mixer during the week, which has earned me Influence in the game, so I know my Microsoft account is linked correctly to my Mixer account. However, I tried to stream two sessions myself during the week, each lasting more than an hour, but didn’t get any Influence from those. I tried to search around for people with similar problems, but couldn’t really find any, so I tried to disconnect and reconnect my Microsoft account from/to my Mixer account. Still didn’t seem to earn Influence though, so I tried to go my channel settings on Mixer and reset my streaming setup.
When I did that, the server it chose for me was located somewhere in Hong Kong, even though I’m located in Denmark, Europe. Now, whenever I try to stream from my Xbox using Mixer, I get an error message after a few seconds, saying that I couldn’t stream because a connection to the Ingest-server couldn’t be established. No matter how many times I try to re-setup my streaming settings on Mixer, I keep getting a server in Hong Kong and neither the “Advanced Settings” or “Show All Connections” buttons react when I press them, so I can’t manually choose another server. I tried both in Firefox and Chrome, with the same result. So I’m pretty stuck now, not being able to stream at all!
I know this is probably more a Mixer-issue than it is an issue with Horizon, but I thought others here might have experienced something similar and would be able to help me out. Any informations is appreciated!
