0.48.018 rock lobster test build

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

The Quality difference might actually be related to the smoothness Jim. Since it's processing frames smoothly it might actually be rendering more frames than it was before. Thus needing a tad more bitrate to get the same picture quality as before. but the difference would be so minimal it would be close to undetectable. :-\

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

Yeah thats the first thing i checked, im usually at around 20-25% no matter what scene i have open or what im doing, with this new build, i've noticed the usage has jumped up

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

bilehazard - could you open %appdata%\obs\global.ini (paste it into start/run), and in [General], add Allocator=FastAlloc

and then compare the CPU usage again with it in there and not in there? Make sure to restart the app after saving global.ini

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

In an attempt to get my quality back, I dropped my FPS from 30 back to 25. The way the frames blend into each other looks so smooth that I can barley notice a difference, and I got my quality back! Thanks for this awesome patch =)

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

Again - Guys i don't know how did you made it but software capture now captures games in full screen with no fps drop (I usually have 75fps cause of vsync)

Here's a video from LoL: http://www.twitch.tv/syssx/b/383326867 As you can see i have ONLY Software Capture and Fullscreen set ingame.

I tried also other games - Tribes ascend, Dead island, Borderlands - All of them worked.

You guys made first software what can capture fullscreen games with desktop capture with no problem (I experienced huge flickering with xsplit)

Also screen of my software capture settings:

There may be a bad memory leak somewhere. If anyone can tell me what circumstances this occurs with, please tell me if possible

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

yea. upon further inspection of casting. I use around 85% CPU on 720p at 2500 bitrate on Medium Preset and I usually use around 40 - 45% on my i7 2600k :(

 

[Lain]

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

Joe, you're running on medium. Even if there is a CPU increase, it wouldn't be that much. I don't even get a CPU increase on my end, I actually get a 3-5% decrease. So something else is going on here.

Hm, actually I suspect more frames are being encoded, and there probably are. More frames on average are now being encoded because of adjustments I made to the frame timing code in which frame times are now actually far more accurate. And for x264 that -would- cause a CPU increase, especially with such a super slow preset.

If that's not the case, then perhaps you can give me two logs of before/after? I bet you a million bucks your problems go away when you change the preset. Actually I'm almost certain now that more frames are being encoded, and that the FPS is now actually more accurate than it was before, the app was capturing frames slower before and reporting a higher FPS than it was. If the %40 CPU increase goes away when you change the preset to veryfast then that actually would prove me correct.

Actually I'm starting to suspect some of the reason for people's issues are indeed because more frames are being encoded.

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

OH I figured out my problem. It was my fault Jim lol. I kicked OBS onto 1920x1080 on Medium Preset by accident on my morning cast. I went to adjust a source that went outside the window and forgot to change it back XD.

Yea I actually use less CPU. around 30-35% on Medium :O! Might try testing out 720p PC Game Casting on Medium :O!

Thanks again and Joe33345 <-- Supern00b of the day XD

EDIT: Hey Jim. I had an idea that might help out some casters but specifically me. As you know I cast Rock Band alot. Now this version of OBS has really fixed almost all of my sync issues except one. My camera is in sync with my capture card FINALLY but the audio is a bit off. I'd like to delay the audio for the cast but still be able to listen to my capture card audio through my headset, through OBS like I already do. I know if I send the audio to stream only I can delay it but I can't seem to find an option to delay my capture card audio when it's sent out on stream without losing it from my headset.

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

By the way, I finally found that 64bit game capture bug, I'll upload a new version and 64bit games will work again.

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

I've streamed with the latest test build for a bit, and it works great... Until it crashes, I'll post some logs and dumps so you can take a look! Basically what I did was, streaming from my PS3 with Elgato Game Capture HD with the Elgato added as a global source! The crash happens randomly after at least 20 minutes of streaming I believe, it could probably happen sooner or later though.

Crash log:

OBS has encountered an unhandled exception and has terminated. If you are able to

No full log file because OBS crashed and perhaps didn't get the chance to complete it?

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

I don't know if this matters but your up-scaling your stream output, Your Elgato is capturing at 720p and your stream is outputting 1080p. Do you just have the elgato source sized at 720p somewhere inside your 1080p base resolution scene? or are you full screening your 720p source to 1080p?

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

There's some x264 thing present in even 0.472 currently as well, I have no idea why it's happening right now.

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

Just tried to test and noticed OBS was freezing and thought it was because I was running two, but noticed that the ram % kept rising 1% every second. Stopped and closed 2nd instance and tried again and the same thing happened. Live or previewing.

I'm not sure, though in its configration window it says 1080p 29.97 fps, and I've also selected 1080p in its profile as well, and the stream looks pretty good to me. Not sure though.

I would double check it, in your log file it says this:

I know it does. I'll check it next time I stream to see if it really is 1080p or not, but it should be.

Installed 32Bit and it is fine, but it did crash at around 45-7% while running the preview for a 1:24.

Re: 0.48.003 experimental test build

Im having issues with this test build, where my stream is going 400, sometimes 500 KBPS over my CBR of 1650. Causing me major in-game latency issues.

EDIT: I'm unable to stream with this so I'll have to go back to the last stable build.
