YouTube cut 2 hours out of a stream I was streaming live?

[oer34]

Did a stream for about 3 hours and the YouTube uploading system did only 11 for some reason?

[SCHISCHKA]

do you require counseling or maybe some psycho therapy to alleviate your loss. your network got cut after one hour. shit happens.

Was still live after 2 hours though, not sure what the issue could be other than me possibly stupidly relying on YouTube's uploading system after stream.

How did it change from 3 hours to 11 hours?

 

Also, were you using copyrighted music?

[oer34]

Mean't it was still live for two hours around the 11 hour mark where for some reason is where the upload stops

[oer34]

And no copyright music was used

[oer34]

Just realizing it's about 11hours 55 minutes when it should be like 13 hours and 20 minutes or something.

[oer34]

Also via YouTube at the time it showed the stream admin page at like 13 hours and 10 minutes..

I think this one gets filed in the "shit happens" column.

Quoted from YouTube's archive stream page, this explains it, but they should either shut down the stream at that time or let the stream know to reboot the stream..

Archive live streams

YouTube can automatically archive your live stream for you. However, we recommend also recording a local archive as a backup. How the archive is created depends on whether you use Stream now or Events.

 

Stream now

When you stream, a public single archive will be generated up to 12 hours. You have the option to check the Make archive private when complete in the Stream Options tab.

The archive will be available in the Video Manager.

Note that you'll be able to create highlight clips while your stream is still live.

Events

 

 

 

When you stream in 1440p archives up to 4 hours are supported.

Keep in mind the YouTube Video Editor only allows editing of videos 3 hours or less.
