Conflicts between OBS and OpenLP

[kurl8rocks]

I am running OpenLP 2.4.6 on Windows 10. Also running OBS to stream services. The outbound stream is healthy when just running OBS. As soon as I run OpenLP, the stream starts dropping frames. It drops frames once every 5 seconds. It seems to be a resource problem but Windows Task Manager shows CPU is only 13-15% and 8GB of RAM is less than 50% utilized. The computer is an ASUS laptop with a GPU and there is some correlation between when the stream drops and the GPU engine utilization spikes. I tried doing a clean boot in W10 - turned off all non-MS services except I couldn't get rid of Bitdefender (which seems to use the most RAM). I have configured the same setup on my MacBook Air and no issues. I also have Bitdefender running on my Mac. Looking for guidance.

I seem to have resolved the problem by doing three things. Not sure if one of these things corrected it or if all together solved the problem. First, be sure to run OBS as administrator - you have to turn the flag on in the shortcut. In OBS, Settings, Output, I went into the advanced form, and turned encoding from x264 to QuickSync H.264, and in Settings, Advanced, I turned on the "Dynamically change bitrate to manage congestion" on.
