Question / Help After streaming a couple of minutes, OBS crashes.

[Chris Brenden]

The past couple of nights we've been trying to stream Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 using Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle and OBS, and after solving my problems of actually getting picture through OBS, I have this new one. After a couple minutes of streaming, OBS will crash and ask to reopen; and will repeatedly keep crashing upon reopening (I have to close the program and open it again to begin streaming again, not clicking "reopen.") I've only had this problem with the Xbox 360, as I could stream my Wii for hours with no problem through OBS.

here's video evidence of the issues in my past broadcasts (vulgar language warning): http://www.twitch.tv/sense_a/b/678649246

and here's a log file of the problem:

I have no crash or run log to support my comment, but since 0.11.1 OBS crashed right under my nose a few times without an obvious reason. Could be a memory leak or something, not sure, but if it happens more I will try to catch the logs and put them here so the developers can look into it. Other than that, it works great.

Started OBS, no streaming or anything, walked around the home for a few minutes, came back, boom:

Ooops, just read how to upload a crash file... my bad haha XD I'll run OBS with my Xbox again and when it crashes, I'll correctly get a crash log for you guys!

Started streaming with the xbox 360, after about 5 minutes, crashes :(

Your crashes appear to be in the blackmagic plugin. I only made one minor change to the plugin in the release, it was to ensure syncing. Very strange. I'll check it out. Thank you guys.
