Probably not helpful, but I'm having a very similar issue and have been troubleshooting it all day. Mine crashes 10-30min in. I might have narrowed it down to a VLC Video Source - Do you have a VLC Video source in your sources, and if you remove it, does your issue stop? I'm currently running another test, and have an update to my VLC App. If it crashes, I'll grab a log, and I'll update VLC and try again. Letcha know how it goes.

Crashed again after around 10 minutes or so while I had a VLC Video playing. Crash report looks VERY similar to yours, specifically the Termination Signal.

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Termination Signal: Illegal instruction: 4
Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0x4
Terminating Process: exc handler [7267]

Application Specific Information:
*** CFRetain() called with NULL ***

Ugggghhhh. I have fully uninstalled and reinstalled VLC AND OBS and i am still having the problem!! Have you made any headway fixing this?

 

[denniswebber]

I have not - So you are running VLC videos in your scenes as well?

 

[tomskerrittfan1]

Yep yep

I have the same problem, but I found that using "Media Source" instead of "VLC Video Source" works okay. This is an okay workaround for me until they figure out what went wrong with VLC

 

[denniswebber]

robwil, Thank you. I'm an idiot for not seeing and trying that. If they both play videos, Media Source works for me!

 

[tomskerrittfan1]

The only problem is that you can't program a playlist of movies to run sequentially in media source, at least not to my knowledge
