Deleted a bunch of plugins causing OBS to crash on exit. But OBS still crashes on exit!

[susiegrace]

I was told the crashing was due to plugins, so I deleted a bunch of them. But OBS is still crashing on exit, and I am thoroughly confused. What am I doing wrong?

You didn't removed the plugins, just started OBS in safe mode.

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

Check each plugin to be updated and compatible with the OBS version you're using. Remove any that isn't. Remove any that you don't really use.

This is crash from the capture device (it is still processes audio despite the command to stop everything).
If you can reproduce this crash in safe mode of OBS then it is a bug in OBS logic.

The Source you are interested in is your capture device (only it has audio):

13:35:18.866: [DShow Device: 'Elgato'] settings updated: 
13:35:18.866:     video device: Game Capture HD60 S
13:35:18.866:     video path: \\?\usb#vid_0fd9&pid_005e

For test purposes:
I think, you can create new empty Scene Collection and try to switch to it and only then close OBS. Is it crashing now?

I removed the plugins weeks ago when I was getting crashes on exit, and the crashing stopped. Then last night it crashed again. I can't remove all my plugins, I use them all regularly.

There's something wrong with the Capture Card audio?

 

[susiegrace]

Sorry, I apparently uploaded the wrong log file

 

[Suslik V]

The error:

19:09:32.753: QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method QObject::RemoveAudioControl(QString)

comes from the "audio-monitor.dll" plugin.

Your capture card has filter applied from this plugin:

13:18:30.899:     - source: 'Elgato' (dshow_input)
13:18:30.899:         - filter: 'Audio Monitor' (audio_monitor)

so, it is wise to try to run OBS without this specific plugin. And see if OBS still crashes on exit.

Thank you so much! This was it!
