OBS crashing just after first Window adding e.g. a Video Capture Device with exception CGSSetSurfaceColorSpace

[superpeter]

Hi there.

I am using OBS 27.1.3 on my Mac mini M1 (macOS 12.0.1) with a GENKI Shadowcast and sometimes also a ELGATO HD60 S+ to capture my PS5 Gameplay. Worked great at first. But at some point - after I decided to create a new scene, perhaps - OBS crashes right after the first window adding any Device with "Video". e.g Video Capture Device or Browser. I tried doing this with a capture card plugged in or not. Fresh installed OBS after deleting all OBS files in ~/Library changed nothing.

The Crash-Report from macOS shows this interesting line:

Application Specific Information:
Crashing on exception: CGSSetSurfaceColorSpace failed with 1000

Is there anything I can try? I am clueless…

The logs are without any errors. The crash happens without doing anything with OBS. That's why there is no problem visible in the logs.

Just started OBS via command line:

open /Applications/OBS.app --fresh --stderr /Users/superpeter/obsoutput.txt

and received this output:

The last bit seems like a bug in OBS, right?

absolutely the exact same thing.. same everything.. same machine. M1 Mac mini, 512 HD, 16G RAM. OBS 27.1.3 crashing almost daily. one day no problems on a 6 hour stream, next day cuts out while live. WHILE LIVE!!! it's happened so many times since this version I'm considering downgrading versions. PLEASE ADVISE.

SAME THING DOWN TO THE ELGATO.. SAME SAME SAME...

You may be able to "fix" the issue by reverting to the default color profile for your monitor using the macOS ColorSync Utility (if you have changed it from the default one).

Big thanks to you, it also fixed my problems with another software - PrusaSlicer.
