Question / Help AVerMedia H.264 Encoder (c985, Live Gamer HD)

[TrueTFZ]

Hey guys,

I'm new to OBS Studio. And I found out I can choice my Liver Gamer HD as Encoder.

But If im trying to record something it happens nothing.
I'm not sure if its even supported in this version of OBS Studio.

If not, will be there a support for the future?

Sincerely,
TrueTFZ

Yep, they didn't yet add this encoder's functional. It's just there, but don't work at all. :-(

 

[Se1pher]

Someone make it clear please: it means in the future obs mp versions will be possible select external capture card as encoder instead of cpu?

With the Avermedia encoder, you are restricted to either using the encoder or using the capture part of the card. It's a limitation of the card. If you're capturing from the card, using the encoder won't work.

So, what's a point of this feature then?

Ask Avermedia first. OBS Studio uses standard methods to access to encoders. Even if interface has dummy input or controls, OBS will never exclude such source from the list. HW makers may release new, more "elite" product, look for news announcements.

So how do I start encoding with it? I plugged hdmi off it, and now it's connected only to PCI-e. Still won't save the video.

And log-file with recording attempt, please...

https://gist.github.com/1d6a75c2a9c2bd0af53a - a bit longer.
http://pastebin.com/1hDLgh1v - tried to stream with it. 0kbit/s upload. Crash log of when I stopped.

I've no idea how to make this thing work...

first, setup fps no more than 30, then ask him: AVerMedia hardware encoder support?

second, don't close OBS Studio after you click stop button, and upload the log. Log-file with recording attempt, please...

I've already seen this thread, it didn't really help me with anything. The last response was "don't use that"...

Here's me trying to make it work once again with suggested settings. But I'll try asking in this thread as well.

Set fps 15

Edit: also update OBS Studio to 0.13.2
your last log says that you are using 60 fps.

 

[sneaky4oe]

Still nothing:

Revert to 30 now it says 15 O_o

and update OBS Studio to 0.13.2

 

[sneaky4oe]

and update OBS Studio to 0.13.2

Update doesn't work for me at all. Non on my pc, non on my laptop - all files are corrupted. Even installing won't work... And it seems like it was working for someone on previous old versions, so no need to even try to update imo.

Current log with 30 fps.

And another log after restart:

Sad. How about to unzip OBS Studio (37.2 MB OBS-Studio-0.13.2-Win.zip) https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/releases to any other folder on your PC and run it?
And really, ask shoterboyx directly - he said he did it, somehow.

 

[sneaky4oe]

Ok, it's kaspersky installed for testing, prooved that it's still piece of garbage. Uninstalled and unzipped successfully.
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1d59be1d34356efd07d5

It says
20:12:54.359: Error encoding with encoder 'recording_h264'

But what kind of an error is that?..

I'll ask that dude.

hello did you find any solution ? i have same capture card

 

[sneaky4oe]

Yes, you need to start recording with it, then start streaming. Streaming will not work unless you have started recording before with the very same encoder

AVerMedia H.264 Encoder (c985, Live Gamer HD) in 2019 someone I was able to record by the OBS because I'm having the same problem with the card I bought recently
