This issue seems to have existed for some time now.
Have tried to figure it out for months with no success and have searched the forum and google many times and read multiple threads here, none of which solved my issue after attempting unfortunately.
Issue: Using browser source (nothing else) some pages will freeze the frame (even if not recording) after about an hour or so and I'll have to refresh them. This is a problem for me though because I can't babysit every recording all the time, I want to set some and do other things or sleep but I can't because they freeze every single time after 30 minutes to an hour 1/2 max generally. Some sites do it, some don't. The one I need to work the most is a regular video stream that is public but it constantly freezes.
Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling is off.
Have tried OBS advanced setting for Browser Hardware Acceleration on/off neither works.
Have set the Windows Display - Graphics setting for OBS executable and OBS Page file to High power both. Again no joy.
I have 3 different systems that do this, 2 of them are clean Windows 10 nothing else on them. 1 is a laptop and 2 are desktops with GPU, one Nvidia and one ATI so none of those things desktop vs laptop or nvidia vs ati make sense here either since all 3 have the exact same issue.
It seems like there really never was a solution to this and some people use a plugin to auto refresh their browser sources but that won't work well for me because I have to interact with the site every time for what I want to record making it fullscreen, unless I could relatively easily make a script that would auto refresh the page plus push the buttons I need to? I haven't the foggiest idea how to do that though but it seems like they are never fixing this problem unless someone knows of an actual solution other than plugin/script (which I don't actually know if that works either or what plugins.)
Notably if I simply use any browser and record the video using desktop capture it works just fine and the site never freezes so it's not the site its how OBS's browser source functions. Doing that isn't a good solution for me though because I use a KVM on the desktops and when I switch away desktop capture no longer works plus I'm limited to the actual monitor resolution which isn't 1080 but the streams I want to capture are. So I need browser source to actually work but can't figure it out if it does indeed work at all and there is a way.
