Hi!

I am streaming interviews of authors to a facebook page. The interviews are done between two people in a Zoom call on my second monitor (iPad) and I have two Display Captures cropped and placed into a design in OBS and streamed. I have some animated videos (with music) for an intro and a emergency card if anything should happen. The audio from Zoom is coming through a multi-output device through the Loopback app from Rogue Amoeba. I did a livestream last Wednesday and everything went perfect until the last five minutes were the program crashed and I had to restart. Weirdly without any noticable drop in video on facebok.

I updated OBS today right before a technical test with the author and OBS crashed even more this time. At total of three times I think. Once when just recording to harddrive, once during a test stream to facebook and once possible without any recording or stream. I tried using the OBS log analyzer, but it did not give me any real info. I can't get OBS to give me any crash reports, so I only have to one from Apple. I left it open, so I don't think Apple genereated any more. And nothing happens when I try to get crash reports from OBS. I can get log files but not crash reports.


As I was typing this up, I was letting OBS stream in the background, to see if I could get another crash and log. I was tabbing back into it and I was just going to check which version I had and the program crashed as I was clicking "about OBS". Maybe it has more details:
