Hello,

seeing how you didn't get an answer yet did I test it. It apparently worked in 
the past with just the parameters you've used. I've found even simpler command 
lines, which must have worked at some point. The only success I had was by using 
OBS, which is on their list of supported streaming apps. It could be they are 
currently filtering out unknown streams or are just having some general trouble. 
Their service is still marked as BETA. The status messages regarding the stream 
on their dashboard seem a bit dodgy. I suggest you try asking on the YouTube 
forums. What works the last time I tried was streaming via Twitch.TV. You can 
find a short description here:
