Bug Report Browser Source Freezes During Stream

[TechKnow]

Hi, so I have a computer to run a stream 24/7. However, at random times, all my browser sources freeze. I have a countdown timer (using a website), and a sub-counter. If there is a way to fix it please let me know. Thanks!

I am currently experiencing the same issue and went hunting for the solution today.

Now, I'm not saying this is the fix as I just applied it and am currently testing as I type this - but I think it might have to do with the added HW acceleration to the browser source, which was updated in OBS version 22 [along with other changes that happened to the browser source on that same build].

From the notes...
Major improvements to the browser source:

• Added hardware acceleration to the browser source on Windows for greatly improved performance, reduced resources, and allowing advanced rendering functionality such as WebGL. This reduces CPU usage, reduces RAM usage, and even reduces GPU usage. This option is enabled by default; it can be disabled in the advanced section of settings if needed if there are any unexpected issues.

I'll be testing it with that option disabled until tomorrow, so I'll keep you posted if this actually fixes it. =D

Disabling that feature seems to have resolved the browser source issue on my end. =D

Apparently when I'm not streaming there is no issue, but once I stream, the browser sources get stuck randomly within the hour.
Will be doing more adjustments to figure it out.
