Display capture freezes (28.1.2 / MacOS 13.0)

[maik1]

I am capturing my Macbook Air M2's built-in retina display via 'display capture' method for use in a scene.

I notice that sometime after 20/30/40 min, the captured picture just freezes. I can 'unfreeze' it by switching to a different display in the properties dialogue or if I just untick/tick the 'show cursor' checkmark.

Is this a known issue?

 

[maik1]

Want to clarify that it happens every time...just unpredictably some time after 10-20min usually.

Same here :( MacBook Pro M1.

Also having this issue. M1 Pro 16"

Exactly the same on MacBook Air M2 macOS Ventura latest versions.
Sometimes it freezes multiple times within minutes, sometimes it can take 20 to 30 minutes.

or if I just untick/tick the 'show cursor' checkmark

I do the same to unfreeze the screen display but it's not viable.

M1 Macbook Air 8/512, Mac OS 13, OBS 28.1.2. Same :(

Same here, M1 Pro 16". Switching video source to un freeze it but not viable in the long run

Same thing here...
Changing screens (source) temporarily solves the problem...

MacBook Pro 14
MacOSX 13.0.1
M1 Pro 10/16/16
16go ram
OBS 28.1.2 (ARM)

I can report I have been experiencing the same. It was working fine over the past few days and yesterday my whole recording was regularly freezing (sound was gone too).
M1 Pro, macOS 13.0.1

The same happens to me (M1 MacBook). It woks OK all the way using MKV file format under software encoder though.
This is just frustrating, now I need to convert from mkv to mov in order to edit my recording.

Did anyone figure out a solution for this? Having same issue as well. Anyone know if upgrading to the 29 Beta fixes these things?

 

[phabvionics]

I was seeing this on 28.1.1; I don't know about 28.1.2 yet as I've only just upgraded to it but I guess it's going to behave the same way. Macbook air M1. I'm using MKV.

 

[Oxbe]

Same thing with OBS 29 Beta 1 and Beta 2...
It's even worse for me... -_-'

 

[lerige]

same issue here,
after 19mn "macos screen capture" froze. the video is being captured but on a frozen image and I don't have sound.

macbook air M1 on ventura, OBS 28.1.2 64 bits

 

[K1m6aTV]

I've exhausted all solutions. Somebody help me! Kimba Gang needs help!

I have the same issue. The only thing I see in the log is the following:

20:26:21.685: Max audio buffering reached!
20:26:21.685: adding 832 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 960 milliseconds (source: Background Loop)

But, I do not think the audio buffering is the cause of the video capture issue...

 

[bearcatjamboree]

To elaborate, I saw some really old threads about this error message but I ran with the "macOS Window Capture" and with "Window Capture" and the older method had the same buffer error but never froze up. I believe the hang is related to the new "macOS Window Capture"

Test with OBS 29 beta 2 and Ventura 13.1 = Problem Solved = Stream 3h without freeze
(To be confirmed during the next stream)
