Bug Report OBS Crashes at startup (OSX Sierra 10.12.3)

[Gabriel Andres]

Hello!

I've tried a fresh install, unistalling with cleanmymac3, and restarting osx too.

Crash report:

Any help will be much apreciated.
Thanks!

I think the devs usually ask for you to post an OBS log, not a crash log.

I had the same issue. Here's how I fixed it.

Shift+Command+G and enter ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/basic

Then delete the files in the scenes folder. Note that you might lose your scenes. If this doesn't work, you might want to delete the scenes folder completely.

Hope it works!

I had this problem too. OBS on Mac (Yosemite, 10.10.5). It worked fine for a while, then I quit and disconnected a couple devices, then OBS would not start anymore.

I was able to start it as root, from a terminal, and then afterward it started normally.

To do this:
- open Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities)
- run OBS by typing this command:
sudo /Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS/OBS
- agree to the license, then quit OBS
- try opening it normally again

If this still fails, you can try deleting OBS's settings files -- this means you will LOSE ALL YOUR SETTINGS so only do this if you're ok with that.

To delete the settings:

- go to Finder, click the Go menu, then "Go to Folder"
- type in: ~/Library/Application Support
- find the "obs-studio" folder and delete it
- try starting OBS
- you'll need to re-enter everything you had before -- streaming keys, input sources, etc.

The link in my message describes exactly how and where the logs are.

"To upload a log file, go to the Help menu -> Log Files -> Upload current/last log file. "

I was able to force the Application to open via Terminal but cannot open it normally. I've deleted the Obs Folder in Library and reinstalled already.

Any extra advice?

Logfiles are located in:

~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/logs

If you deleted the folder rather than dragging to the desktop, then you probably deleted the logs, and the program may be crashing before it can make one.

Let me understand this: You mean mac osx (finder) help?
because we can't access OBS' help menu if it crashes every time it starts...

If you can’t get OBS to start how can you get crash logs?

 

[Narcogen]

If you can't get OBS to launch, you can't get an OBS logfile.

If an app crashes, your OS generates a crash log.
