AMD Hardware Encoder(s) [Deleted]

Did Indistinguishable , still there even with a still image in the CS:GO menu for example.
The recording size was around 450MB for like 30 seconds in the CS:GO menu.

I can't reproduce this imaginary flickering issue you have. Not even using the most taxing video source provided any kind of flickering.

I have no idea then , the original OBS does perfectly fine , guess I'll just use that one.

@Xaymar I'm sorry, one more question though, I have a R9 280X and it's been able to do 60fps recordings before through Media Foundation. I'm just really confused as to why it's dropping frames after 15 seconds consistently.

 

[Xaymar]

Xaymar updated AMD Advanced Media Framework Encoder Plugin for OBS Studio with a new update entry:

1.3.1.0 - Preset changes and fixes

• Fixed: Simple Interface will now permanently apply Presets.
• Fixed: 'Indistinguishable' had Maximum QP at 21.
• Changed: 'Recording' preset enables 'Frame Skipping' by default.
• Changed: 'High Quality' Preset now uses CQP 16/19/21.
• Changed: 'Indistinguishable' Preset now uses CQP 11/14/16.

I don't know. What I know is that Media Foundation and the AMF SDK are two different code bases, which makes comparison between them impossible - it's like comparing an orange to a brick for how good it is for making houses.

I just wanted to say that I'm getting some extremely promising results for streaming at 1280x720 60 FPS with version 1.3.0.3 and OBS Studio 0.16.1. I'll report back later with my findings. Thanks again @Xaymar

Where do i find the logs? Is it in appdata/roaming/obs-studio/Iogs? I have set the mark on "debug tracing" and recorded two faulty sessions for now. But it has only one logfile from today.

The plugin writes to the same log file that OBS Studio does, see the Support forum on how to get to it.

i didn't get to copy a link after the log auto uploaded, so i put the 4 latest log files here:
https://we.tl/1gNaXxf8iN

One of the files is 210 MB, i don't know if that is normal.

My setup is
CPU Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard ASRock B85M-ITX Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage Crucial MX100 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage Hitachi Travelstar 1TB 2.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

and a non aftermarket sapphire RX480.

When Debug Tracing is enabled, the log file will blow up in size quite a bit - It's only used to find driver issues and reproducing special bugs and crashes.
I noticed one thing in the files though, you have GOP Size set to 0 - do you have "Use Custom GOP Size" checked?

 

[horst]

I don't even know what a GOP size is, i doubt that i have ever changed a setting saying that. I found the "Use Custom GOP Size" checkbox (show expert parameters), it is not checked. If i check it, a field "GOP size: 60" appears. So i reckon, i should check it then?

 

[Xaymar]

You can try, but normally it doesn't affect the encoding too much. I'm not sure by what your recordings are affected.

Custom bitrate doesn't seem to be saving under the Twitch preset with OBS Studio 0.16.2 with 1.3.1.0 installed. I tried to lower the bitrate from 3000 kbps to 2500 kbps, but I started to jump from 1000 kbps to 10000 kbps and everything in between on stream as soon as soon as I went live. I exited OBS Studio, opened it up again, selected the Twitch preset with 3000 kbps bitrate as the default, started streaming, and everything was fine again.

EDIT: Everything was not fine, as I was apparently streaming at 2500 kbps instead of 3000 kbps when I went live again despite the fact that 3000 kbps was showing up in the simple interface. Something is up here. Let me know if you want a log from me @Xaymar

EDIT 2: Nevermind. Disregard.

 

[Xaymar]

Presets will permanently override parameters until you remove the preset again. This is to behave as expected.

I see. Makes sense. Understood.

My recordings always get stuck at 20:48 too. Sound recording seems to be continued though. That happened with all the plugins versions i tried, up until the current one. I have a RX480 with the latest drivers.

OBS Studio 0.16.2
plugin version 1.3.1.0
Issues : recording get stuck at 19:14, sound is ok.

 

[everyth1ng]

Yeah, I have a few issues. I'm getting slightly out of sync audio after about 2 and a half hours of streaming, and my stream settings don't seem to be saving because I'm still getting the skyrocketing bitrate issue. Also, the stream seemed to have more of an impact on my in game frame rate than it did in the past, although I don't have benchmarks to back this up.

Let me know if you'd like the logs from my last stream and I'll edit this post. There should be two logs because I had to stop and start the stream to apply the Twitch preset again.

OBS Studio 0.16.2
Plugin 1.3.1.0

 

[locodicegr]

0.16.2 / Simple Encoder / Recording Preset / Balance / 18 minutes csgo recording recorded very good!

 

[ball2hi]

Updated OBS to 0.16.2. Just did a test tonight and I unfortunately got another corrupted file. Our first match is tomorrow, so I guess I'm going to have to mess with x264 quickly as the last time I did matches (June) I used AMF and that's very out of date.

I have the video if need be. Unfortunately I did the .DMP after I clicked "stop recording" but still was streaming. I really wish AMD would fix their hoopla...
