Browser sources freezing after some time

[mobsheep]

Hi all,

I've had a recurring issue with browser sources (chat, alerts, etc) freezing up after some time. I have OBS running on a dedicated PC, which I control with Input Director from my main system.

Essentially, all browser sources will lock up after an hour or so. If left alone, they'll eventually refresh and become active for a time -- or, sometimes, an alert will trigger the refresh. If I switch my mouse over and click anywhere on the chat/activity feeds, it will refresh.

This happens regardless of hardware acceleration being on or off. I've been using Chatterino to get around it, but i'm still left with half functioning alerts/activity feed.

Startup log attached below; I'm not sure what other info to include, so if you have an idea I'll try to provide what I can.
Edit: I thought of something that might be important - I use x264 to stream, and record a ~2gb replay buffer with NVENC. Neither my GPU or CPU are at 100% load, though.

Thanks in advance

Have this issue as well. Can't find any solutions. Seems to be some kind of pretty wide range thing for browser source. Lots of different users and sites but all freezing on them after a while and requiring a manual refresh.
Totally screwing up some things I want to set to record and go to bed and can't find a solution.

Still can't find a solution to this. Have tried everything I can find in any thread on this forum or elsewhere. Nothing works for certain sites.

Browser Source - poorly written javascript plugins.
