it seems to be streaming at the same resolution and fps when typing in any numbers, but it does change the text on the top right side. i'm assuming the discord update also broke it?

I have reread the description and noticed that there could be a few explanations for this.
Here are my notes:
A.) Change the resolution and FPS to your desired resolution and fps and then apply them by updating the video quality (it should show the correct numbers in the top right).
B.) Increase the minimum, maximum and target bitrate!! By doing this, the stream should look less 'blocky' (if you and the viewers' internet can handle it, which they should be able to) and the framerate should also be more stable. This is how streaming on any platform works: higher resolution and FPS means you need to send more data, and therefore the bitrate must be set higher. Do some research on the needed bitrate for your desired resolution and framerate. (Make sure that the minimum bitrate is a bit lower than the maximum and target because if you force a certain bitrate then that could cause problems for people with poor internet.)
C.) Note that Custom Bitrate is disabled by default, meaning that at a high resolution you (by default) will still be using the default bitrate that Discord will normally set. Discord's default bitrate is actually pretty low (especially for non-Nitro users). Discord's default bitrate is barely enough for 720p 30fps for non-premium users. Instead of automatically setting the bitrate higher, I have simply given users the option to change the bitrate to whatever they want.
D.) If it really is a plugin or Discord problem, it was probably not directly caused by the Discord update, since there would (most likely) be a ton of console/compile errors.

If these do not help, feel free to re-open the issue.

hmm, none of them seem to be working. The top-right does update the numbers but does not have any effect on the actual stream. I remember that before betterdiscord became messed up there was an option for source/your inputted resolution and fps when streaming? it seems that the problem is that i cannot select those customized values.

Here's an image where it shows the top-right numbers and the stream quality not matching:

Here are the options for streaming:

Here are my plugin settings:

Also i dont seem to be able to specifically input my resolution width and height individually, not sure how it actually works but i think i used to be able to change those as well? Hopefully this helps but it's alright, it's not urgent.
