I'm trying to finish up a recording but i cant actually end recording unless i go into task manager and end the process. looking at the log myself it looks like i didnt even hit the button to stop recording. my hotkey doesn't work either, anyone know why this is happening?

Go to where your recordings are saved and see if it finished and maybe the program is just hanging up...
 
select the "log" folder where the logs in
if the file will created there its a filesystem right issue (low chance but realistic)
and for fun try x264 if there makes file/output then its something from the AMD encoder issue like amd drivers/card support
 
yeah switching to X264 made a file, but i can't play and record with x264 since my processor isn't that powerful. is there a way to fix the h265 encoder?
 
Out of curiousity...

01:18:20.682: YUV mode: 709/Full

Change that to 709/Partial and see if it makes any difference.

GPU encoding on AMD, unlike Nvidia, incurs GPU load, and using the Full color space increases it.

Might also be worth seeing whether this is a problem you're having using the AMF encoder at all, or whether it only happens at higher frame sizes / frame rates. So try a 720p30 encode and if that works, increase towards your target resolution and fps and see where it starts to have issues.
 
709/Partial and 601/Partial both havent improved things same with going to 360p10fps but an interesting thing of note is that the H264 encoder does infact work, its something with the AMF H265 encoder thats the issue, i'll try reinstalling drivers see if that helps
 
doing some investigation on the OBS AMF github it seems i'm not the only one having an issue with this but the fault seems to lies with AMD and not OBS

I'm struggling with why you'd be able to encode x265 more easily than x264 with the same hardware as this sounds counter-intuitive.
