Hi all,

I've been using OBS on and off for about a year for screen capture and never had any issues. Now I'm trying to set up my iOS phone to use as a camera source for a Periscope broadcast. Unfortunately, it seems to be extremely laggy and in slow-motion. I've had a look through a few threads on here for a fix, but nothing seems to have made any difference.

I've attached the log file, is there anything I'm overlooking? Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

Does the problem only occur when using the iOS camera plugin? In the log I see numerous instances of that plugin updating its list of available cameras, as long as notes of increasing audio buffering from that device, which usually indicates general system overload.

Thank you for the reply!
Wow, yeah it definitely looks like there's some audio issue there. The audio lagged like hell during the tests too.

As another test I tried using the Window Capture of a random hd youtube video, and it also lagged. Finally I tried using the Display Capture function and that seemed fine.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling the laptop I'm using isn't up to the task. I'm going to test it on my home PC this evening to compare results.
