Question / Help Complete OBS image stops every few seconds

[MentalFS]

Hi. I've not been streaming for a few months and wanted to pick that up again.

But during the stream all image would constantly pause. It works a few seconds, maybe 30, maybe less, then it pause for 10-20 seconds or sometimes even longer. Sound works fine.

I've narrowed it down a bit: The stopping of image already happens in the preview and occurs in recordings, and it is not a game capture problem. Overlays, cam, even animations directly embedded as source stop all movement and continues after some time.

- Game Mode is off, so is ShadowPlay recording
- Windows, NVidia drivers are at current release version
- I've reinstalled OBS
- I've deactivated/stopped every background program I could find
- I literally started OBS first after rebooting, using a scene with only an animation, and it happened after 30 seconds.

I'm not sure what to try next, short of deleting all settings in OBS which might as well not work. Logs are attached, but there are no entries for the times when the imaging stopped (first time was around 23:09:10, and I closed OBS a few minutes after).

Okay, while this thread might never actually get published I digged a bit more for sources of errors. Turns out I hat a text source that used a file on a network share. I didn't use the scene containing that source anymore, but apparently OBS tried to load it every minute or so, but the network share didn't exist anymore. That causes OBS to go stale.

I've removed that source and it looks like it works now.
