Hi All!
I am BIG fun of OBS :DD / have experience on Windows, Apple (MacBook Pro .. etc)
Right now I have built a Hackintosh especially for OBS streaming server.
With the first test I am 99% satisfied, extremely powerful machine, expect one thing:
I have two Graphics card:
- Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (integrated)
- AMD Radeon RX 580 (PCIe)
- Both cards have been set up with theirs drivers successfully, Metal etc. hardware acceleration is PERFECT, tested.
- x264 / Apple VT H264 Software Encoder streaming working (except when I stop the streaming with Apple, OBS quit - chrashes)
BUT I would like to utilise HW encoding as well - with the Apple VT H264 Hardware Encoder:
- With the Intel CARD is PERFECT WORKING!
- With the AT RX 580 is FAILED = OSStatus error -12915. (does not start)
(between the tests I always rebooted the machine, switched the proper card for MacOS ...etc.
And obviously NO parameter has been changed in OBS between the two tests)
Please help to FIX it!
I included both log below (only the relevant part)
Thank you for your help in advance,
Viktor
P.S.: Please do not say that do not use Apple VT encoder, it is crucial to save CPU power (my experience about 15-20 % !),
with your new functionality "dynamically change bitrate to manage congestion (Beta)". FACEBOOk is very stable in case of network issues , too!!!
Thanks!:)
