Question / Help Almost No FrameRate and Stops After 6 Minutes

[Pixel Penguin]

My OBS was working fine for a while, but all of a sudden, it dropped to only record one frame every few minutes and each recording stopped after about 6 minutes.

I was hoping to record to make speedpaints since I can't seem to get it to stream for Picarto anymore either. As disappointing as that is, I will just be grateful to record for a speed paint. I hope that isn't too much to ask.

Somebody please help! I don't know what to fix! I checked all the settings, updated it and uninstalled and reinstalled it. I'm sorry, I am extremely frustrated because I'm falling behind on projects I promised because of this.

Post your OBS log please.

Post your OBS log please.

It wouldn't let me send the originals. I had to create shortcuts. I hope that's enough. I'm sending what I can find.

Post your OBS log please.

I think this was the most problematic one, I'm not sure, but it won't let me send the other one.

Simple output mode
Indistinguishable recording quality
software low cpu use encoder
FLV format.

Now it isn't saving anything it "records".

 

[Harold]

so the files aren't being created or the media player you're using can't play them?

Files aren't being created.

Post a log from that session

Neither of those logs show you using the correct encoder selection, and both logs show the files saving properly.

Should I switch it to hardware then?

 

[Harold]

You should try getting it to the encoder I recommended you use first, although you could try a hardware encoder.

And use VLC for playback of your recordings.
