Hey guys I have so much hassle to figure out what what was causing OBS to crash.
I installed EOS web utility to use my canon m50 as webcam. It worked fine on the first day. But then I had some issues and bugs.
Sometimes the image from the cam wouldn't show, and other times it would but it would keep on and off.
It crashed OBS so bad that I reinstalled several times, and it wouldn't open, then I had an insight to desinstall the EOS web utility driver. I reinstalled OBS and it finally worked. I installed again the EOS driver and the bugs were back ;/
After a lot research I got it partially sorted and I thought it would be good to report it here, cos it was by guessing:
- in OBS, When adding it as a source, make sure to 'disable' presettings, gave couple of seconds, when the image shows you can enable presets again. If doesn't show you can try: disable preset and change FPS to 29.9. It should work. You can either keep that way or come back to presets.
- The cam wireless must be disabled manually before you connect the USB!
- The cam LCD display must be on , you can flip it out or turn the screen out and flip it back in, I had to realise that!
Canon recently release, like less than a week, an update of that driver, I hope they've fixed those bugs.
Thanks guys!
