Question / Help Animated Overlay CPU issue

[Owlyyy]

Hi,

I recently paid a graphic designer to make a animated overlay for my league of legends stream. With OBS and league running and stream my CPU is at 19%.
As soon as I toggle my overlay on... my cpu goes upto 100% and everything lags. PLEASE HELP ME

@Narcogen is this what you wanted? :)

 

[Owlyyy]

Nudge :(

 

[Narcogen]

No output session in the log, so no performance information.

Open OBS, start an output session (recording or streaming), observe your issue, stop the session, then upload the log.

 

[Owlyyy]

Ok I will try this

Think I did it right?

Can you turn hardware (hw) decoding on for the overlay source? That should stop it hitting your CPU.

 

[Owlyyy]

Umm all I was given was the complete overlay in .mov format. @Narcogen

I tried with the hw decoding On and still same thing happened

my set up

 

[Narcogen]

In your logfile you have two .mov sources, both have hw_decoding off. So either the setting wasn't changed, or whatever's in those .mov files can't be decoded by your machine in hardware and you need to ask the vendor about it.

If I was to upgrade my ram would this help?

 

[Narcogen]

I don't see how. More RAM isn't going to make the content of that video file any easier for your CPU to decode.

If your issue occurs only when recording or streaming, instead of just running OBS with the overlay on, it might help to see a logfile of a completed output session, but from your post I understand the performance issue occurs immediately when enabling the overlay, and since hardware decoding is not set to on for those media sources, it uses your CPU for decoding. If that's causing your CPU to hit 100% then the issue is that media file.

Thanks alot.

So if I am to get back in touch with the vendor shall I simply ask if when he created the .mov if it has hw decoding enabled?

The video needs to be in a format capable of hardware acceleration, likely H264.

Thanks. Will ask them this
