OBS crashes with IP camera

[batteryman]

Hi, I'm pulling my hair out with this issue. I have a Green-Feathers IP camera that we want to use to stream video from our canal restoration site. I have tried using the IP camera with an old Dell Windows computer that doesn't appear able to cope, so I have had the camera on soak test at home with 1) iMac running Catalina 10.15.7 OBS 29.02. It ran for about 5 days and crashed at about 03:00am with failure "Max Audio Buffering"
2) My newest iMac running Ventura 13.4.1 and OBS 29.1.3 failed this morning at around 03:00 with failure "Max Audio Buffering". I am not using audio on the camera so why does it crash.
I have attached both files. The older one is for the older iMac.

You could try setting your Global Audio device to 'Disabled' unless you're actually going to send an audio stream over rtmp. I don't think this is a problem with the rtsp stream from the device, but you should still probably check the configuration of that "Streaming/Channels/0" in the camera's UI.

Some other general things: It looks like you're using the software encoder and re-scaling your canvas. You should probably be using the H264 hardware encoder and you should probably make your output resolution match your canvas.
