Hi. I'm sorry to open this thread, as I'm a complete newbie on streaming. I know about sound and content production, but I'm just trying to learn how to stream. Today I tried to test my stream and everything went wrong. First the stream stopped completely, because OBS said I had overloaded the video encoding. I checked. and the only encoding option I see is x264. I have an AMD R7 A10N 8800e, so I supposed a way to fix things was to make the integrated graphics to take care of the encoding, and not the CPU directly. I think it is called the GPU, but I'm not sure of anything right now. I couldn't find the way to give that GPU the task of encoding, the option was not showing. So I read a little more (a lot, headache already) and downloaded the AMD Encoder for OBS Studio 2.1.6
Now a new option for encoding finally appeared (H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework)). So, I selected that encoder, didn't change anything else on the settings, and tried to start streaming. OBS Studio crashed. Every time I tried, it crashed. It generates a log (I sincerely don't know where it is stored, but I can look for it if needed to help me).
I updated the drivers (only option was something called Aderanaline 2020), and my OBS is current. I also downloaded the obs amd encoder 2.7.0, but could not intsall it, as the README says it includes an installer but I couldn't find it and I don't want to take the risk of doing something even more wrong that what I'm sure I already did.
So I came here to humbly ask for help. Right now I'm trying to start a podcast, that will have live episodes on Facebook and YouTube (I'm using the obs multi rtmp plugin), but I'm completely stopped because of this. I can't even start a stream :-S .
I know my PC is not the latest and best, but I don't think it is so bad that I would not be able to make a decent video/audio stream. Please, please help me.
Excuses for the surely bad English. It is not my native language.
PS. I found my crash logs:
