Question / Help 15fps when should be 24?

[Doormandean]

Hi,
I've had a read around the forum, and hope I've not missed the issue I'm having.

I'm trying to upload the log file for the last stream but it's not coming up with a file/link, so I'll upload a the local version as a text file.

My setup:

iMac 27" 5k i5
Canon 77D (and a 200D) going through the 'Camera Live' free source software to feed into OBS
Internet upload speed approx 7mbps

OBS
24fps
1080 (and tried 720)
tried bitrates of 2000kbps to 4000kbps
CPU usage have tried from fast to ultrafast

When streaming to YouTube, OBS is telling me in the corner that I'm maxing out around 15fps!

I've tried altering resolution, bitrates, CPU usage, and nothing seems to make a difference.

I do have an El Gato Cam Link coming tomorrow to see if it's a software issue going to OBS, but it seems a bit weird. I love OBS, but this is confusing me an really annoying my viewers - I'm not doing gaming, this is purely for wide shots presentation to cam and tabletop views.

Any help would be grately appreciated!

The YouTube 'stats for nerds' does say it's at 24fps.

Dammit this is confusing

The OBS session log shows you overloading your computer's video card with your graphics settings.

Thanks for that Harold, I would have thought the Mac should have been able to cope with it?

Could it be down to the 'Camera Live' for Canon software and may get fixed with the El Gato Cam Link or am I out of luck?

it MAY help, but canon cameras aren't known for giving clean hdmi output.

DSLRs don't make good webcams.

Cam Link did not help.

Would changing the display resolution help? I wondered if the display isn't working as hard then the video card may not be under such pressure?

 

[Harold]

It may.
