Stream randomly stutters, eventually loses tracking and dies #2546

This applies to every stream, regardless of game or program running.

Description

Lately I've ran into an issue where my movement tracking and visuals while streaming occasionally jump, the screen pixelates for a few frames then corrects itself. After a few times of this hiccup occurring though, the stream always ends up freezing-- that is, the image no longer tracks my headset (even though it still moves), controller tracking completely dies, and after a few seconds the whole screen goes black. After that, one eye stays black while the other occasionally flashes white.

The only way to bring the stream back has been to quit the ALVR quest app and restart it.

I should note I've tried reinstalling both the Quest app and Streamer program, clearing out all residual files in the process. I've done the same for SteamVR to no avail. I am also using Standable, however even with its drivers uninstalled the issue still occurs.

Has this worked before? Do you get black sections on the side when moving your head quickly? And lastly, have you tried lowering the nitrate?

It had worked fine before, even on 90-100mbps. Moving fast doesn't create any black sections. The issue happens at 30mbps right now as well.

I should also note that the SteamVR overlay has trouble stabilising as I move my head. As in, it jitters trying to stay stationary when I move my head.
