Hey, I have recently noticed this problem when I updated to the latest version of OBS. 0.635b 64bit.
The problem is that, when I am streaming and playing a video through flash player, it makes the game lag. The FPS in the game is fine, but it feels as if every 2nd frame is missing.
What I have done before is have music running in the background while I play my game during stream. I just use a playlist that is on YouTube. I know 100% that this is causing the problem, because when I close the video tab or firefox, the lag instantly goes away. Pausing or muting the video doesn't resolve it, it has to be closed.
I play the same music on VLC or Windows Media Player, and it works fine.
Below are my settings and specs.
i7 960 3.8Ghz OC + HT (8 logic cores)
12GB RAM 1600mhz 8CL triple channel
SSD O/S , 1TB RAID0 mechanical HDDs SATA III
GTX760 2GB
100Mbps Down, 50 Mbps Up - Internet
OBS:
Encoding:
Nvidia NVENC
CBR 2600 kb/s + CBR Padding
AAC 128bitrate 48kHz Stereo
Advanced:
Using Multithreaded Optimizations, Normal priority, 700ms Scene Buffering Time
NVENC Preset: High Quality
Encoding Profile: Main
Keyframe Interval: 2 seconds
Using Constant Frame Rate
The rest are just default.
I can't provide a video because it just looks normal. When I get the game lag, the stream video is just fine. It doesn't capture any lag at all.
I have tried using x264 and changing the processor affinity to make firefox and flashplayer use a thread that OBS or the game isn't using. I have uninstalled OBS and put on an older version, but the same problem is still there.
Xsplit broadcaster/gamecaster and Nvidia shadowplay do not have these problems.
