nope

forest axle
#

i'd advise capping it at 60, which is what you're recording at

#

or at most, 120, which is your refresh rate

pseudo warren
#

ok

forest axle
#

yes, feel free to upload a log

#

i'd recommend uploading here: https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file from a fresh launch of OBS Studio containing an output session. Follow these instructions to upload a clean log file:

  1. Restart OBS Studio first!
  2. Start your stream/recording replicating any issues (meaning having any games/apps open and captured, etc.)
  3. Stop your stream/recording after 30 seconds or after the issue has occurred
  4. Click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File
  5. Paste the URL into this Discord channel

uploading to the website scrubs usernames and urls, which is why i suggested that

uploading the bare file will (possibly) contain your username

hardware is what you want to use

#

what program are you recording? were you doing any other encoding on your machine during this session?

plucky zenith
#

i mean it seems to be fine except for last

forest axle
#

how recent is this log? are you able to reproduce this currently?

#

from the log it looks like the encoder just completely died. which is usually pretty rare and temporary and fixed by either restarting or killing all encoder processes that are alive

#

i've seen encoder issues be worsened with low memory, but usually the system is intelligent enough to move RAM around to accomodate things that need it

#

VT (the macOS encode API) will randomly die sometimes yes

#

it shouldn't

#

if you are able to reproduce the issue by doing something in particular, we would be able to do more with that info

#

that's odd, but i'm not sure if there's any way OBS would directly try to do that

#

the short term fix i'd typically suggest for that is:

  1. open activity monitor (located in /Applications/Utilities)
  2. in activity monitor, search for "VT" in the top right
  3. select all the VTEncoderXPCService processes
  4. click the X along the top bar and force quit them

if my hardware encoders are refusing to encode, this usually resolves that issue

#

if your encoder is locked up, then it wouldn't be encoding anyway, so you would not lose anything

#

i would only suggest that if you literally cannot encode (which is indicated by your log)

#

and as long as you're recording in fragmented mp4, or .mkv, you won't lose data if the encoder fails midway through

#

if your encoder is stuck in the "stopping" state for a prolonged period, it is typically dead

#

you'll probably want to use fragmented mp4. in the next version of OBS i'd recommend using "hybrid mp4", but that is not out quite yet

#

either way, it doesn't matter in terms of data loss, fragmented mp4 and mkv are equivalent

Thanks for the reply, I should have specified it was a sound issue, i.e when I screen record for example a Roblox game, I have multiple friends on discord joining, however it will only record my voice and roblox but no sound for my friends playing with while chatting via Discord.

forest axle
#

a small amount of encoder overload is fairly normal, yes. if it was a very long recording, 1% dropped frames is somewhat on the higher end and might indicate an issue, but if it was short, probably nothing to worry about

Hello, I am recording zoom meetings through OBS to get stereo audio. Sometimes my video recording from obs glitches and freezes while the meeting is still going resulting in an unusable video. What’s the best way to prevent this?

I’m also recording the zoom meeting through zoom to the cloud during the obs recordings. Thanks in advance

@pseudo warren 👋 Hi. I’m no expert, but I know of one solution if you want to have 2 different canvases. The plugin called “Aitum”. It’s mainly marketed for a vertical canvas but in the settings you can change the canvas size to what you need.

Hello! I've never used OBS before and am on Mac. I'm trying to use VeadoTube Mini and make it so that it shows my pngtuber sprite with a transparent bkg.

All the videos I've watched say to use "Game Capture" > ✅ transparency, But I believe Game Capture got changed to Syphon Client. So I choose that but it wont let me select VeadoTube Mini as the source. This is what it shows me when I try to add a source

Screenshot_2024-07-03_at_3.08.18_PM.png
forest axle
#

you'll want to use "macos screen capture" for that

#

syphon client is quite old/deprecated

sacred orbit
#

Ah ok- I did try that but it seems like i cant do transparency? Ill check it out again

forest axle
#

macos screen capture should support transparency without issue. however, recording with transparency present in the final output is another matter

sacred orbit
#

I am confused 😔

#

I just dont see an option for transparency at all- and not sure what u mean by the second part/ transparency wouldnt show in the stream?

forest axle
#

with macOS screen capture there is not an option for transparency, it should just be there if it's present in the window itself

#

with the second part, i mean if you are trying to end up with a recording that itself has transparency, that is not supported. you most likely do not need to worry about that

#

transparency for the source itself, i.e. the capture of your pngtuber program in OBS should work just fine without any modifications

if your webpage is black that usually indicates you're trying to record something copy-protected

hey everyone, when I setup my sony a6300 with OBS I don't get the options like: color space, color range, etc. Attached are two screenshots of what my limited options are and a options that I see on every other youtube video in regards to setting up obs with a camera

#

hmm, can you take a screenshot of your desktop with the veadotube window visible?

sacred orbit
#

yes 1 sec

#

forest axle
#

gotcha

#

so the window itself isn't transparent

sacred orbit
#

yeah and it doesnt look like i can turn it transparent in veadotube ? looking again rn

#

wait

#

ive done it

#

i had syphon stream off on veadotube and thats why it wasnt showing up in the syphon client layer thing

forest axle
#

i'm not sure why they don't just render a transparent window instead of a green background, that's totally possible these days, but sure, if they have a syphon endpoint i suppose that works

#

i don't know how syphon does transparency

Hi - I have been having an issue where after anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half the audio falls about 1 second out of sync with the video. It will be completely good until it seems to skip. We are a band that is sending all of our audio into Logic Pro and then routing that into OBS. I have run out of things to search. I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a log file from the most recent stream that this happened.

Could it be that the graphics problem also switches from usb 3.0 to usbc with the adapter?

as i said, if your feed is blurry, that's likely because of macos system effects. find the green capture indicator in the menu bar and make sure that effects are disabled for your input

# arctic lion but how do we not have it cause i need to stream roblox studio

Due to a change in the way Roblox works, OBS Studio's Game Capture source is unable to capture it. As a workaround, please use Window Capture instead:

  1. add a new Window Capture source
  2. select Roblox from the window list
  3. change the Capture Method to "Windows 10"

On Windows 10, you will see a yellow border around the game which cannot be disabled. This is not visible in your stream and can be ignored (use the `!yellow` command for more info).

To hear your audio sources through your own speakers/headset:

1. In OBS Settings → Audio, set your Monitoring Device to the speakers/headset through which you wish to hear the source audio, then click OK
2. Click the Edit menu → Advanced Audio Properties
3. For each device you wish to hear, change Audio Monitoring to:

  • Monitor Off: only hear in your stream/recording
  • Monitor and Output: hear through your device and your stream/recording
  • Monitor Only: only hear through your device; don't hear in your stream/recording

Note: ensure you use a different monitoring device than any device you capture. Otherwise, your stream/recording will contain an echo.

# fading hare

ah I had the monitor thing set to speakers but I didn't know about the "mixer" thing thanks

lofty perch

I just saw in my log that I kept getting

17:09:56.684: [coreaudio_get_device_name] failed to get name: 560947818

can I ignore that? things seem to work fine so far.

forest axle
#

yes, you can ignore that

#

it means that you have a source hooked up to an audio device that doesn't exist or was disconnected

#

and due to reasons, that information gets spammed in the log

lofty perch
#

ok thanks - on a completely different note. Can I set up something like a stream server such that I can stream from "device A -> stream server -> twitch/youtube etc" which would allow me to just turn off device A, switch to device B and continue? e.g. you sit on your laptop but want to switch to your mobile phone without aborting the stream?

So the use case isn't "use a second PC to offload computational cost" like many people do.

that's definitely possible, yes. i do not know what specific tools people typically use to do that though

# fading hare

When someoe gets a chance please! really appreciate all the help you all provide

forest axle
#

it looks like you may just be asking the base m1 to do too much with the addition of the separate vertical canvas rendering path. i am not well-acquainted with that plugin, so i don't know how demanding it is exactly, so that is my only guess there

sage swan
#

Even when it is not doing anything I still lose 15-20 frames

forest axle
#

it might be doing something even if it doesn't appear to be doing anything; you would probably want to check with the plugin completely uninstalled

sage swan
#

Ok I'll give it a go thanks. Any recommendtion on running a vertical cnavas then?

forest axle
#

if that solves the issue, then you may just need to pick one, vertical or landscape. you can always set the canvas size OBS uses via settings->video

sage swan
#

OK i'llgive that gop

#

How I disable a plugin?

forest axle
#

if the plugin itself doesn't have an uninstaller, you would go to file->show settings folder in OBS, then navigate to the plugins folder, then just remove the files for that plugin

sage swan
#

How do I cahnge the canva to vertical? I cannot locate a place to do that in a scene

#

OK I see that you explainedI'll try that

fading hareBOT
forest axle
#

that's in settings->advanced, toward the bottom

#

or at least, i would try that

sage swan
#

OK thank you again

fading hareBOT
sage swan
#

I'm not sure whats up. I have even dropped my capture from 1440 to 1080 and all of a sudden its dropping frames

#

It started yesterday

forest axle
#

given the amount of filters and sources and your system, i don't think that amount of rendering lag is totally unexpected, at least from what i can see

sage swan
#

How can I completley remove sources?

forest axle
#

just select and press either delete or click the trash can icon in OBS

sage swan
#

OK I'll go through and see what I can do to remove some. You think that could help?

#

Im' pretty sure I have duplicate ones

forest axle
#

removing stuff that isn't used will always help, sure

#

you can also do things like make your browser sources "shutdown source when not visible" in the options, which will save on processing when they aren't active

#

you can do the same for your media sources; set them to hardware decode, and also "close file when inactive"

#

all of those things should have some amount of overhead benefit

sage swan
#

OK thannk you!

#

Is there a way to show all of the ones I have hidden?

forest axle
#

sorry all of the what?

sage swan
#

soures sorry

forest axle
#

the most efficient way is probably just to click the eye icon in the source list for each one

sage swan
#

I get that but i believe I have some hidden for what shows in my sources in the main screen. I could be mistaken however

#

So I cannot see them

#

I had though I had hit a button that said unhide all in the past

#

I thnk that may have been in the audio mixer!

forest axle
#

if a source exists it should always be in the list for that scene. a screenshot or something might help if that's not what you mean

sage swan
#

I'm speaking of all sources available rather than just what is added to a scene

#

Are you saying its how many sources are int he scene? or how many are created in OBS itself?

plucky zenith
#

won't hide them in the sources list

sage swan
plucky zenith
#

the TL;DR is you cannot hide sources in the source list. all the non-private sources that are in that scene are shown in it

sage swan
#

Yes but there are created sources not in source lists

plucky zenith
#

like?

sage swan
#

I'm wondering if those could be hurting performance

plucky zenith
#

you mean sources that are on other scenes than the current one?

sage swan
#

not in any scene

plucky zenith
#

in the parlance of the UI, sources that aren't in any scene do not exist

#

as once you remove a source from every scene, it gets completely deleted

sage swan
#

OK I could be mistaken. I'll go through eac scene again and make sure. I swear I see sources when I go to add a source that does not exist in any scene but from what you are telloing me I am mistekn

forest axle
#

in any case, as far as performance, every source in an active scene collection does incur some overhead, even if it's not in the currently visible scene. it's also generally fine to have the same source in multiple scenes, as long as it's the same source and not a separate source that is capturing the same thing

sage swan
fading hareBOT
sage swan
#

I htink that worked! thank you!

forest axle
#

looks like your final stats there are indeed improved

sage swan
#

The time to render goes yellow here and there maybe 13-15ms but it doesnt seem to actualy drop frames

#

I really appreciate you working through this with me

fading hareBOT
sage swan
#

may have spoken too soon

forest axle
#

there's probably still more that can be done. not all of your media sources are hardware decoding and closed when inactive. not sure if you resolved that for all of your browser sources

#

you have one macos screen capture source. what method is it using? display or application capture will perform better than the window capture mode

#

you might want to restart OBS before sending another log, hard to see what all is removed

sage swan
#

OK I'll reboot

#

I think I missed. teh hardware decoding part as well

fading hareBOT
sage swan
#

The render is a little better but it is poppinginto the red and dropping frames still

forest axle
#

i'm running out of obvious things to try. unfortunately OBS does not have the greatest profiling tools at present, so it can be difficult to see what exactly is using the most processing time

#

it's a bit of a cheap shortcut, but rendering the OBS preview can also be quite expensive. it might be worth simply hiding it when you don't need it

#

especially since those m1 imacs have such large screens

sage swan
#

Oh Interesting, OK I'll give that a go

#

That immediatley helped. It feelsso weird but....

#

is there a way to make i visually a lower quality to lower resource use?

forest axle
#

you could try shrinking the size of the preview area, i'm not sure what kind of impact that would have offhand

sage swan
#

OK that may be worth a try

#

I'm willing to try basically anything so why not

#

Smaller has the time to render down to 2.2ms!

#

Which is fine because all Iwant to be able to do is make sure the shot is framed and the quickly make sure the scene I want active is active!

Hi all, I am new to the server and I am asking for support on a problem. I am setting up a setup in OBS for a video podcast with 3 microphones and 1 camera. The 3 microphones in question are NT USB from Rode, with a built-in sound card and jack output that allows monitoring of one's own voice. In theory, however, it should also be possible to monitor what is being said into the other microphones by the participants. However, this does not happen and I do not know how to solve it. Has anyone experienced a similar problem before? Thank you very much in advance. If u need more info please ask.

Well im aware of the point of DRM, its just that in trying to troubleshoot this ive seen a lot of people say all they had to do was disable browser utilization of hardware acceleration and it began working fine, but for me trying that option hasn't changed anything. thus i was curious if anyone 1) knew any why that would be / knew any workarounds, or 2) knew if either OBS or common browser updates (for chrome, firefox, etc) essentially patched

#

patched the hardware acceleration workaround*

I’m not going to discuss workarounds for DRM

Anyone else Loosing desktop audio and choppy mic randomly during a stream, especially in combination with DAWS when making music? Been struggling to find a solution for this for almost 2 years now, but cant seem to find anything. My guess is that some audio driver crashes and when restarting it doesnt get picked up by OBS, although works after changing input back and forth...

Also tried blackhole but same issue there

#

on M1

#

desktop audio meter in OBS goes to 0 but mic seems alright, however doesnt sound alright

Can someone help me ? My facecam is capable of 1080p and thats the quality im using in obs

When i only have my cam the quality is good

#

But when i shrink down the facecam to put it on my gameplay it gets worse

#

Is there a way to shrink down the facecam window without loosing the quality ?

I've just setup my streaming setup I'm using a Windows 11 PC, running OBS projecting a gaming window to a hardware capture card (Razer Ripsaw HD) that is plugged into a Mac Pro running OBS, the mac Pro is steaming the projected window to twitch. The Mac Pro is on a seperate internet connection to the gaming PC, and I'm seeing lag/frame drop, I'm using inspector.twitch.tv and it's showing a steady 6k bitrate and it currently has 2 unstable events

#

I assumed offloading the stream onto a second machine with a totally isolated internet connection would give it the best performance, and inspector shows 6k bitrate, so why is it jerky

If you are using a capture card, it should just be as simple as connecting their setup to it and capture it

atomic flower
#

ok, Maybe i'm not understanding to i conncet both cards to one computer?

#

we are using switches as our gaming device

potent lark
#

You would need a capture card for each Switch that you want to capture, both capture cards plugged into the OBS system

atomic flower
#

ok ok now making sense. So i concnet both of them to my computer ?

potent lark
#

Yes, you would connect both capture cards to your computer running OBS, and each Switch to each capture card.

atomic flower
#

Ok, Let me try this real fast

potent lark

If the capture cards have passthrough / HDMI out, those would go to your individual monitors

pretty crisp on my display and in the video above

south stone
#

ermmm

potent lark

but i am guessing its just soft around the edges because your canvas is larger than 1080p, and you are scaling down

south stone
#

it looks so bad on my screen😭

#

i have a 5k monitor and it’s a 1080p video it should be wayyy more crisp right?

potent lark
#

... no, it will get softer when it is scaled back up to 5k

south stone
#

comparing it to other screen recordings i’ve seen, mine looks awful

potent lark
#

if your 5K = 5120 × 2880, then you are recording a 5120 × 2880 video at 1920x1080, then scaling it back up to 5120 × 2880.

This is going to add extra fuzz around edges due to the double scaling you are doing

#

watch it on a 1080p display. It will look fine

Hello again. Ok Rob thank you so much for your help last night. I was able to get both switches and my camera and all to go live in twitch. The main issue I am having now is the audio. I have a headset with a built in mic and I have a capture card that has one jack for headphone and one for mic but I have an all in one set. Also both audio from both switches are coming out in the live. Any ideas

could you post a log from a session with the crash? @ancient seal

an OBS log, that is

the easiest way to do that would be:

you could possibly use the legacy video capture device source to resolve it, instead of the current video capture device source

#

you can find that in the "deprecated" folder in sources

ancient seal
#

I do have the legacy capture as a source. Still crashes.

forest axle
#

you would need to replace all of your normal video capture device and capture card device sources with the legacy source

ancient seal
#

And I have a normal video capture source, crashes on that too.

#

I've been using legacy for months now.

forest axle
#

if that other source is non-legacy, you would need to completely remove it

ancient seal
#

got it, thanks

forest axle

if you have only legacy sources, that should resolve it for the time being

ancient seal

great, thanks.

can you send this directly from console.app? something happened to the file here. and can you also send the most recent OBS log again? those would both be very helpful in investigating if you're able to do so

I managed to create with ChatGPT a script (a .lua script) and it is working. But this only allows me to upload horizon pictures (jpeg). I want to also show vertical pictures. That means that some part of the code needs to be adjusted. I don't know how to do this. Is there someone who can help me and point me in the right direction with the script?

Docks in OBS can be managed from the Docks menu in the main OBS window.

You can toggle docks on and off, or lock or unlock docks to prevent moving and editing, as well as add custom browser-based docks here.

You can also reset the UI from this menu to return your docks to their original state (Docks > Reset Docks).

that is interesting. however once again, you still have one non-legacy source here

  • source: 'HD 60S+' (macos-avcapture-fast)

removing that should stop the crash while we investigate

that's a "capture card device" source

which uses the same code as the "video capture device" source

Hey everyone wondered if some could help me with a rekordbox / flx4 / virtual audio device (blackhole or loopback) into obs studio issue.
When rekordbox audio set to the virtual audio device I get no cue in headphones. But when set to flx4 as audio output it works fine but I can’t output to obs studio [I’m on Mac]
I’ve attached some images to show the routing and devices plus how I had loopback configured was working until I installed the latest update yesterday. Now no cue in headphones when using it or blackhole to get sound to obs studio…
I’m stuck… and want to stream…

macOS screen capture in the display mode captures audio from any program open on your system. it does not directly capture microphone audio. you have another source there for your microphone

# forest axle macOS screen capture in the display mode captures audio from any program open on...

Thanks for your response!
Thats what I thought, but the audio level from "macOS-Bildschirmaufnahme" (german for macOS Screen Capture) is moving as if it is picking up audio from my mic. I tested it by making sounds to see if the audio level goes up and it does. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen because I only want to record my screen and audio. I dont want it to include audio input from my mic. As you said, that should come from another source.

forest axle
#

does that happen if you mute your microphone source?

loud hinge
#

If I mute my mic completely it stops, but that shouldn't be the ideal solution 😅

forest axle
#

what other programs are running on your computer? particularly any that are related to virtual audio devices like loopback, or blackhole, etc? anything like those?

#

or DAWs?

loud hinge
#

I've got Elgato Wave Link running for my wave xlr where I've plugged in my shure MV7

#

Other than that, nothing running regarding audio as I know

forest axle
#

if you close that, does the issue go away?

loud hinge
#

Yep hahaha

#

So there seems to be an incompatibility between OBS macOS screen capture audio and the wave link software, am I right?

forest axle
#

it's probably that that program is set to monitor your mic output, so macOS screen capture is counting it as program audio output and picking it up

#

you should check in the settings for that app and see if there is a way to either turn off monitoring or direct it somewhere that macOS screen capture does not pick it up

loud hinge
#

So if I find a way to deactivate the monitor for my mic input, this should resolve the issue?
I'll try that, thank you very much for your help and quick response 💪🏼

Hi, requesting help for video capture device on OBS

#

I am using a video capture device to stream live soccer game footage through hdmi connection. This time when I plugged in, the video just came in as green, sometimes it would come in very glitchy (bouncing between green and the picture). I have had this happen in the past when I had too many plugins in the computer that was streaming, then unpluging some items made the image come in clear again. Since then I made adjustments and haven't had issues, any idea on the issue?

2. enable each of the permissions using the buttons on the right-hand side

  • (a) click on OK/Allow for the microphone and camera prompts
  • (b) grant Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions in System Preferences/Settings
    3. restart OBS Studio

On the same MacBook, but using a different user account, OBS starts fine. I then found a post saying that starting OBS from the command line with the following command might help: /Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS/OBS --disable-shutdown-check.
The first time I ran that command, OBS started up fine. I then closed it down and tried to start it again, but not from the command-line. The problem as above persisted. After forcibly closing OBS I then tried starting it from the command line again, the terminal output will follow below. OBS will not start up at all now. Any suggestions?

are there any crash logs listed for OBS?

Nope, there aren't.

I guess as far as OBS is concerned, it doe not crah, it just fails to properly start.

Thank you, that appears to have resolved the issue. First time I had to start it in safe mode but after a proper shut down it started without any issues.

im assuming thats what you needed to see

yeah, just needed to see that the card is indeed connected via usb 3, which seems to be the case

#

i'm not sure what could cause this

crimson junco
#

i have a solid blue light on the led

forest axle
#

it may be the adapter, or it may be an issue with the card itself

crimson junco

ok

so in order of pricing i should switch the adapter first

#

or i can get a new elgato, if it dosent work, i can bring it back i guess

#

bestbuy is decent with return policies

forest axle
#

trying another adapter would be a good idea first yeah. and yes, i would seek recourse with elgato themselves if swapping the adapter does not help

wispy shale
forest axle
#

on the OBS end, everything seems to be configured normally, so it's just an issue of the signal reaching the computer, which is yeah, either card or adapter

Due to a change in the way Roblox works, OBS Studio's Game Capture source is unable to capture it. As a workaround, please use Window Capture instead:

  1. add a new Window Capture source
  2. select Roblox from the window list
  3. change the Capture Method to "Windows 10"

On Windows 10, you will see a yellow border around the game which cannot be disabled. This is not visible in your stream and can be ignored (use the `!yellow` command for more info).

btw do i keep the desktop audio and my mic audio?

if you want your microphone in the output, then keep it, that's up to you. you can indeed disable the desktop audio source if you want, since it doesn't do much. that's in settings->audio, and then you can set the 'desktop audio' device to 'disabled'

it works

#

hmm, not sure. if chrome is up to date, it should "just work"

#

it's expected that the camera will not show up in photo booth, for the same reasons it does not show up in native discord

#

(it uses a deprecated system that is less secure than the new one shipped with macOS 13+)

#

it's possible that chrome is no longer compatible with it

dense seal
#

Ah, sorry for the trouble.. I tried on Brave browser. Haven't even got chrome installed, but will try not and see if that's compatible.
I was just confused as I assumed OBS would simply create a feed that you could at least view somewhere on your desktop.. weird that the support would be on the other end for the platform you're actually streaming with.

Shot in the dark - has anyone ever experienced OBS causing a MacMini to crash? We have a few MacMini’s in various studios that all run OBS, among other apps. One of our MacMini’s would crash every few days - the OS on that machine is 14.5 and the version of OBS was 30.1.2 (just updated to 30.2 today). Ironically our other MacMinis with the same build have older OS and OBS versions but are more stable than this particular machine. The Apple generated logs for the computer crash are super bare too - the only information it says is ‘SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired).’ It generates this same message every time the machine crashes. We found that this error could be related to a number of things, one being software apps. Through process of elimination we found out that if OBS was open, this machine would crash every few days and generate that error, regardless of whatever other apps would be running at the time. It doesn’t appear that OBS is generating any crash logs however upon rebooting, we are prompted to start OBS in Safe Mode because of an unclean shutdown. We also did find a Kernel Panic log that flags an issue with the ‘IODisplayPortFamily’ kernel extension, however the machine is completely stable/does not crash when OBS is not running. Perhaps this extension is conflicting with an OBS driver or extension? If anyone has experienced something like this and could point us in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated!

We have run an Apple Diagnostics report on the machine and it didn't detect any hardware issues. Agreed that it could definitely be related to something plugged into the display port - for example that machine is in a remote studio and some of the hardware attached is slightly different from our other studios based on what was available in that country. That being said, that hardware remains attached 24/7 and when OBS is not running, that machine is stable and does not reboot. Have you heard of OBS in general causing a machine to reboot?

no, except in strange cases where the issue was a macOS-side bug, which this could easily be. i think your intuition of suspecting the peripherals is probably correct given the information you've given us

OBS certainly causes an increase in activity around the system, asks more of the CPU and GPU, regularly checks with peripherals and devices, uses a deprecated openGL driver on macOS; there are lots of possible interactions where something can happen with OBS running that doesn't happen if it isn't running. it's very rare that this is anything OBS is specifically doing wrong to cause this sort of behavior, though. especially if as you say it runs stably on machines without this one's specific configuration

#

anything that's a kernel panic is essentially a macOS bug; according to apple itself, nothing that happens in user space should be able to cause one

#

if you're able to isolate what uniqueness about that machine causes the kernel panic, that could be useful information though

I just downloaded OBS for the first time today. I'm using VDO Ninja to use my phone as a camera. Also using VB cable for my music/mic.

I keep getting this error message. I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled. I have tried using 3 differnt virtual cameras to see if that was the issue and added OBS to the applications file on the OBS portal. Sorry if any info on here was unnecessary but this error is driving me crazy if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

Also ADO Ninja is a web source so not sure how I would add it to the applications folder

#

I have tried other virtual camera that I did have to download would this work better? Just not sure how to add to applications folder. I've added them to the folder on OBS portal but say error.

Lastly I took all virtual cameras off and just tried to use face cam and same problem. (THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I TRY TO START VIRTUAL CAMERA)

Dear OBS Support Team,

I am writing to you regarding an issue I am experiencing with the OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) application on my Mac computer. When I try to open the OBS app, I receive the following error message: "Unable to open the application 'OBS' because it is not supported on this Mac."
According to the system requirements on your website, OBS should be compatible with my Mac. However, I am still unable to get the application to launch successfully.

I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Verified that my Mac meets the minimum system requirements for OBS.
  2. Attempted to reinstall the OBS application.
  3. Checked for any available macOS updates and installed the latest version.

Despite these efforts, I am still unable to use the OBS application on my Mac. I am reaching out to your support team in the hope that you can provide further assistance or guidance to resolve this compatibility issue.

Please let me know if you require any additional information from me, such as system specifications or logs, to help diagnose and address this problem. I would greatly appreciate your help in finding a solution so that I can use OBS on my Mac.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,

The only error most of the time in the logs for the Kernel panic is ‘SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired).’ which is super generic. I don't believe its a CPU/GPU issue because when OBS is the only app running, the machine still crashes. Can you tell me a little about the openGL driver? Right now I'm testing running OBS in Safe Mode as the only app open on the machine - do you think running OBS in Safe Mode could mitigate some of the factors that could be contributing to the kernel panics?

forest axle
# primal sand The only error most of the time in the logs for the Kernel panic is ‘SOCD report...

i really have no idea. safe mode means no plugins, scripts, or websockets. if you don't have many of those, probably not. again, i would investigate the peripheral situation, since what little information there is about that message often points in that direction, plus your admission that you've also got a panic in the displayport driver. plus this machine having a unique peripheral situation compared to others in your setup. so again, that seems like the best place to investigate first. my 'hunch' would be some display or peripheral behaving badly which triggers bad behavior on the macOS side

#

and also again, you should be reporting this to apple firstly too, since any kernel panic is an issue on their end

I like to use pieces of 2-3 windows for my streaming layout, but am having major performance issues when I do this. If I use “Application” or “Screen”, performance is as expected, but sometimes I need to move windows and would prefer to share “Window”. If I do, the machines performance is so bad that it’s unusable. I am using Mac OSX with an M1 Ultra. Is this an expected behavior? Is there a trick to sharing a single window from 2-3 applications with multiple windows open?

On macOS, some older Elgato capture devices may not be supported or require workarounds to use with OBS Studio:

  • Game Capture HD and HD60 are not compatible with Apple Silicon-based Macs. On Intel-based Macs, use the Elgato Game Capture app in full screen, then capture it with a macOS Screen Capture/Window Capture source
  • HD 60S is not compatible with Apple Silicon-based Macs. On Intel-based Macs, use the OBS Link app
  • HD 60S+, HD 60X, Cam Link are compatible with all Macs and can be captured with a Video Capture source. Make sure you are using a USB 3-compliant USB cable or adapter, connected directly to your Mac if possible

really have no idea what it is

forest axle
#

that solves it too? that seems very odd indeed

jolly steppe
#

yeah.. without this change (so unmodfied) i can make it start by attaching an external monitor to my macbook. it sometimes crashes later on playing around with it.

#

but none of the xcode tools seem to detect any suspicious memory errors.. but something is definately off

#

as is the stack breaks somehow

forest axle
#

does the deadlock happen when you're running obs in xcode in general?

jolly steppe
#

yeah, it is not really just a deadlock. it is a crash because sigalstack() call fails, an di think it just hangs the whole process

forest axle
jolly steppe
#

its horrible 😄

#

last attempt was to enable "malloc stack logging with all alloc and free history" but that just throws errors with sometimes not even reaching main().

What is your definifion of "really long"?

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file from a fresh launch of OBS Studio containing an output session. Follow these instructions to upload a clean log file:

  1. Restart OBS Studio first!
  2. Start your stream/recording replicating any issues (meaning having any games/apps open and captured, etc.)
  3. Stop your stream/recording after 30 seconds or after the issue has occurred
  4. Click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File
  5. Paste the URL into this Discord channel

It's a log, that was requested. Also, you've added a 1 second delay, which adds to your delay, but only a second.

#

Yeah, see that a lot. Not sure why they make that recommendation.

#

Invent time travel. You'll never have no delay.

#

You can watch random "tutorials" until the sun burns out, and most just give junk information, like setting a 1 second stream delay.

#

That's not setting your stream delay, it's adding a delay to your stream.

#

Be happy it's less than a minute?

#

There's nothing to fix.

#

I mean, you have some rendering lag in the log, but that isn't known to increase stream delay. It'll probably cause a bit of wonkiness to the frame rate, though.

#

Move closer to the YouTube ingest server, or get a better internet connection. Don't mean speed, just one that has a better route to the ingest server.

#

Move, as in, pack up and move to another city/address.

#

It's not real advice, btw, just nothing you can really do on your end to fix that sort of delay.

potent lark
#

The delay is also different for each of your viewers

#

Since viewers can live in different areas

fierce rock
#

This is also true. Also, I read you say you were moving, and I was like, well... That's a coincidence. Maybe it'll fix the delay! LOL

#

I have no idea where YouTube's ingest servers are. Might be one in NY? Not even sure if they post that info to the public.

hii guys how do i grab the window capture for the zoom meeting correctly every time i launch the obs to record zoom meeting.
my zoom meeting is in full screen on a separate space and windows capture seems to do a fine job ignoring all other mini windows of zoom when i select the Zoom Meeting window. but the problem is that i** have to reselect the source every time whenever there is a change** like switching breakout rooms or dropping the meeting. and obs doesn't notify me either, the preview will show the last frame and recording will go on with no source, what's the recommended way to handle this?

i don't know what precisely the underlying issue is, or exactly who knows what about it. one thing you could do, if you want it to be properly triaged, is create a new issue report at https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/new/choose which will create a form of public tracking for it. that may make it easier to not get lost

#

(also please try and search before doing that to make sure it hasn't already been reported)

@pseudo warren you aren't lagging because of your bitrate or connection, you're experiencing lag because your computer's specs are not sufficient to livestream in general

A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the most recent crash log.

  1. Open Console.app (Located in /Applications/Utilities).
  2. Navigate to the Crash Reports view along the left sidebar, then sort the table by date to find the most recent crash with the OBS process name.
  3. Drag and drop the selected crash onto the Discord window to upload the file, or copy-and-paste the report text here.

that's a crash that happened on quit? that looks like a crash mid-stream

compact gust
forest axle
#

that one is caused by a dock, most likely the youtube live control panel dock

#

closing that will stop OBS from crashing on exit

as long as the window for it isn't open when you close OBS, it won't crash

edit: nvm I fixed it, i had the output set to fragmented MOV and as soon as i made it mpeg-4 and removed audio sources from the audio tracks it got fixed

Hi guys I am having an issue with audio on my m1 macbook pro for obs... basically i will try to record audio from my desktop (no external mics connected - except maybe my airpods), and it plays this (clicking?) sound that drowns out all other audio and just sounds terrible. it does this when i try to connect my blue yeti too. i literally just downloaded OBS after a weird crashing error from the older version of obs i had. i deleted it and got the newest version from the obs website. I attached a recording and i have no idea how to fix this. i tried reseting obs, adding new scenes, and changing the way i record my screen. Can anyone help me? Thank you 🙏

that's not a OBS crash log, but it does give us a clue. can you restart your computer and see if OBS still hangs on startup?

fair beacon

niot sure if this is really causing the issue tho. i tried removing the things i added earlier (transition, plugin) and mauybe it will help

forest axle
fair beacon
#

it just crashes, and when i open it again, it shows me a popup to run in normal or safe mode. tho right now, it seems that removing the plugin and the transition i added earlier helped. i hope this is really whats causing it

#

does anyone know the max resolution for a scene in obs? i've only been able to get 4000x4000 but wanted to double check in case i was missing something

forest axle
#

the max reasonably doable by the OBS rendering system is somewhere in the realm of 10,000x10,000 iirc. the h264 hardware encoder won't support more than 4096 in either dimension. the HEVC encoder supports higher; i am not sure what its upper bounds are

remote dragon
#

so presumably since i dont have the hevc option here i can't go higher on macos?

image.png
warped mica
#

HEVC is not supported by any streaming platform besides YouTube at the moment, so even if it is available it won't show up

#

you'd need to check the encoders in "Recording"

#

But yes, for streaming that would limit you to 4096x4096 unless using x264 which might(?) support more. But most streaming platforms limit you to lower resolutions anyways.

remote dragon
#

ah ok

#

so basically my use case is recording.... 5... cameras? in a ~4000x4000 setup

#

i see now for recording there are options for hevc

On macOS, some older Elgato capture devices may not be supported or require workarounds to use with OBS Studio:

  • Game Capture HD and HD60 are not compatible with Apple Silicon-based Macs. On Intel-based Macs, use the Elgato Game Capture app in full screen, then capture it with a macOS Screen Capture/Window Capture source
  • HD 60S is not compatible with Apple Silicon-based Macs. On Intel-based Macs, use the OBS Link app
  • HD 60S+, HD 60X, Cam Link are compatible with all Macs and can be captured with a Video Capture source. Make sure you are using a USB 3-compliant USB cable or adapter, connected directly to your Mac if possible
