OBS branch with AMD VCE support.

[dping]

I'm trying to run this obs on windows 8.1 64x, but it keeps giving me an error with the msvcp120.dll. I tried installing the microsoft c++ redistributable already, but it keeps crashing every time i try to open the encoder settings. It works fine with the default config but i cant change the encoder because it crashes. Does it happen to anybody else? There's a fix for it?

you have to install the version of msc+ that marries up with your version of obs. So I would guess you are running the x86 of obs? Install the x86 if msc++ redistr...vice versa for x64

@Darker use x86 if obs for clr to work

I just passed by to say I'm very gratefull to your work here, even tho I can't use it since I'm on a Enduro notebook and my GPU is a bitch to be detected (Radeon HD 8850m, with VCE support) .
When I tried to run your branch I couldn't check the ''Use AMD VCE" and after forcing via profile I was told I don't have AMD hardware. derp.

I thought it would work since Mirilis' Action! has the AMD APP and that actually gave me some hope to stream with OBS haha.

I'm completely blind to how coding works but at least I can say thanks for your hardwork on this.

Nope, i downloaded the x64 obs version, thats the weird thing.
I just downloaded the x86 version of obs just to give it a shot... same error. Any advice on how to fix it? I have tried everything i could think of.

Update: It doesnt throw any error anymore, but wont let me select the AMD VCE on encoder, here's a pic of the settings

My gpu is a R9 270X, and the AMD gaming evolved allows me to use the gvr so i guess it should work with obs too, right?
I dont like the amd gaming evolved since the audio quality sucks, at least for me (wich doesnt happen with obs!) also you have a lot more control with OBS.

 

[Darker]

Still no one who knows how to install the CLR Browser plugin for this "already installed" version of OBS?

 

[Harold]

Did you actually select the correct version for your matching OBS version (32-bit vs 64-bit)?

 

[jackun]

!!NB!! If you get black/white recording, go to %appdata%\OBS and delete *bin files (Hawaii_1234ABCD.bin, Pitcairn_56789EDF.bin etc.) Precompiled OpenCL kernels load with new drivers but fail silently with new Omega drivers, hm (OCL 1.2 vs 2.0).



@Dragvon Is the selected Video Adapter under Video tab Radeon?
@Narxon paste last logs (Help > Open Log folder or Log Files > ... > Upload)

Try by copying vanilla OBS where plugin works to new folder and overwrite files with VCE version's (with same bitness ofcourse). @sneaky4oe seems to have gotten it to work.

Hey @jackun bro, here's the log: https://gist.github.com/5e8fe53b848a8167b5b1
Have to say that i use OBS most for recording, since my internet conection wouldn't let me stream anything (5 Mb)

Thanks, it's working now. I had two different bitness versions. :)

@Narxon seems like DLL fails to load. Settings dialog is not verbose enough so try to manually change encoder to VCE. Go to %appdata%\OBS\profiles and open the current profile ini.

[Video Encoding]
Encoder=VCE

Yep, that was the problem... but how about this http://prntscr.com/5gt0x8
This error appears right after i press start recording. I tried looking for that dll here but all the links i found were already down. Any legal link?

make sure you install both versions of ms c++ when I first got obs vce i has this problem since I downloaded both but just installed one.

 

[Narxon]

I tried, wont let me install any other version of msr, either its not compatible with my system or a more recent one is already installed, so i think thats not the problem :(

Maybe you got hit with a MSVC++ quirk: uninstall all MSVC++ 2013 runtimes and reinstall with latest. Sometimes the side-by-side dlls stuff goes crazy.

Unfortunately, my GPU won't show up in any kind of program. I've even tried to force everything on the GPU using BIOS & Catalyst but it just stays hidden :T

That was it :) Thank you so much for your help!

Could try this also: Visual C++ Redist Installer V34.exe

It's Burf's VC installer pack that contains all the latest VC++ packages and some other stuff, and can also uninstall all older packages prior to installing it. Here's his dropbox in-case someone doesn't trust the first link.

A completely up to date package containing the latest x86 and x64 runtimes for Visual
Studio C++ 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2012. Also contains the Fsharp runtimes and the latest
versions of pre-2005 runtimes requried by some programs (msvcr71.dll for example).

This package makes it a lot easier to stay up to date, and also removes unnecessary
superseded versions of the 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2012 runtimes. It is also much smaller
than downloading each component separately due to superior compression.

Back once again!
Seems like i might have an issue again - This time obs is randomly crashing.
this would be the log - https://gist.github.com/2d9fca33793a7667106b -
Any ideas? :)

Same thing here, but this obs crash is paried with "graphics driver stoped working problem",.I get even artifacts while streaming, I think that could be becouse of overloading the card or smth, or just code is bad.

IT all kinda comes down to settings. The only game ive had this issue with atm is Blades of Time. Every other game ive done has been ok so im taking its a memory related issue. Also a sugesstion - depending on your upload - set your bitrate, but remove the buffer. Only have the bitrate set. Then under your amd vce settings, put it on quality and play around with the Gop setting, keep the idr at 120 sicne that seems to be workin nicely. So the settings Quality or Balanced work awsome. I use VCE everytime i stream so i preferr to use that one, but im thinkin i might have some memory issues tho. : /
Example of me using VCE for streaming - http://www.twitch.tv/console_purgatory/b/599364277 and http://www.twitch.tv/console_purgatory/b/599373632 - :)

Question tho, whats your card? Im running an R9 270 Blackedition card. 2 GB.
