Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
I found the video on twitch.tv and ran MediaInfo on it to analyze what hidden settings Intel Quick Sync may be using. Here is the data I pulled:

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
opencl seems a bit buggy at the moment -- it's probably because I'm using the dev build of x264 rather than the latest "stable" version, I can't remember if the latest stable has opencl or not, it was mostly for experimentation

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
x264 with opencl doesn't offer that much performance gains, its only RClookahead and changing it doesn't do much. Its a neat experiment though... since the really cpu intensive parts of the encoding cant be computed on a GPU there are very few gains to be had with the minor codes that it can do, not to mention that you can actually lose performance since data has to be sent to the GPU to be computed then sent back.

Today got suddenly high ping in game when I streamed. Watched on OBS and it seemed to drop frames around 50%.
If you remember Jim, I an the one which is streaming 64bit iRacing and we worked on the stuttering problem.

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
Quicksync really isn't intended as a high quality streaming option. It's primary purpose is low impact streaming, and there's only so much that can be done quality wise with a hardware encoder. It can't be tweaked like software encoding, unfortunately.

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
Hello, I seam to be encountering a newly created issue that I don't recall noticing with the older builds, I will randomly get a Black Box in the middle of the screen when streaming, if I re-add the game it fixes it, unchecking and rechecking or changing Scenes does nothing. Is there anything I can try to help solve this issue?

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
Is it possible to add real CBR for QSV (or Strict CBR)?
But Jim, can you improve hilalpro's formula on Strict CBR (like in XSplit)?
"(bitrate/fps) x (rc-lookahead - 1) = bufsize"
It doesn't work with QuickSync
QSV is... VBR despite I checked CBR.

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
@dehixem -- I can't imagine why it would cause that issue in particular. I can imagine it simply not running or generating static or no visuals at all but not connecting at all seems a bit unrelated to OpenCL and x264. Are you absolutely positive it did not connect or was it just generating a dark/empty stream?
Well, please keep it in. Just did a marathon streaming session of 11 and a half hours and not a single hiccup with OpenCL enabled. A test build of OBS using a dev build of x264, running on a Beta driver for my GPU and still not a problem to be seen.Jim said:

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
Oh don't worry it'll stay in -- it's purely optional anyway. Regardless I'm sure the x264 devs will fix subsequent bugs and they are most talented individuals. Also I'm quite glad to hear you did an 11 hour stream with no problems with opencl, surprising.

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
I just tried out opencl=true with my radeon hd 6870. Did not notice any load being put on my GPU and OBS consumed the same amount of CPU as usual. Checked the log files and didn't see any opencl failures either.

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
Well I did ask the viewers and they told me there was no stream. I checked in the twitch archives and there was no sign of a black stream either. I would say I'm practically positive it didn't generate an empty stream.
Either way I'll try again to see if the issue reappears :)

Re: OBS 0.52.05 toast build - quicksync
I can personally vouch for Kharay. I broadcast for a few hours a day almost every day. Haven't seen the slightest error yet.
OpenCL seems to perform better as well as produce better image quality when compared to default OBS settings. I have observed no deleterious effects of running the OpenCL encoder.
