Question / Help Obs not installing files?

[RytoEX]

Not ideal though really.

I noticed in the logs from earlier that opencl is enabled by default in some of them and recording seemed to work? Seems to cause problems when I manually fiddle with it.

In fact I put the preset back to 'default', and recording worked. Looked in the log and opencl is enabled.

The logging for OpenCL is actually bugged. It says "enabled" when it's actually disabled, and it says "disabled" when it's actually enabled. @Xaymar is aware of that and has fixed it for the next release. So when you say the log showed it enabled, it was actually disabled.

I'd go with what @Xaymar recommends here and leave it disabled for now. He and I both think this sounds like a bad driver installation, or some other system-related oddity.

Well, I can't fix what isn't caused by my plugin. Your system somehow fucks up loading a library so badly that it ends up affecting a separate task.

That's a bug that was fixed, OpenCL defaults to Disabled in all Presets: https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-studi...545#diff-b31aa551e75281b4b8273abdd012732cL760

In fact I put the preset back to 'default', and recording worked.

Presets don't override Memory Type, Device, OpenCL and Surface Format options. Default only resets all options back to default.

Well I appreciate all the help you have given me chaps. Not sure why my system would be so corrupt as to do that as I do clean installs of GPU drivers at all times and the system is very up to date.

Is it possible that not too many people are using obs and the plugin in this way, with a Fury? The opencl option is buried quite deep in the options so hopeful I'm just the first person to report it.

Clean installs don't necessarily help with a clean system. Your system could have fallen prey to bitrot, malware, viruses, etc - all without you knowing it.

You're definitely the first one to ever have issues with it that weren't an immediate crash to desktop bug. I have tested with Fury users before that had no issues with this at all, so something is messing with things on your system. Your issue is like as if having Photoshop running would randomly change the content of a Chrome window - doesn't make any sense.

I saw that you have an IGP, do you perhaps have the drivers for the IGP installed too? That could cause some issues with conflicting libraries and similar.

I think the IGPU drivers are installed actually. I might take them off and see if it makes any difference.

The pc was built by me back in 2012. I think I last updated the mobo (asus p8z77-v) bios a year ago due to an r9 390 black screen issue.

CPU is a 3770k. Maybe its all a bit old now though still plays games like a champ so dont really feel a need to update.

 

[Xaymar]

Try with 1.4.1.1, though I don't think it will make a difference.

@Xaymar + @RytoEX

Folks issues seems resolved. I updated the plugin to 1.4.1.1 and as Zaymar suspected it didn't fix.

I then updated my Intel chipset drivers (including iGPU) and it didn't fix.

I then uninstalled the integrated GPU and it recorded first time with OpenCL enabled.

I've attached the log so you can confirm I'm not making a silly mistake but the issue does look fixed to me I think.

 

[Xaymar]

So the solution is uninstall broken Intel drivers. That explains why I couldn't reproduce it, as I don't have the Intel drivers installed - why use the IGP if you have a dedicated GPU :P

Maybe make a bug report to intel about that, something in their opencl library is seriously messing things up.

Pretty much, yeah. Thanks for sticking with me until I got it resolved as I realise it wasn't a plugin or obs issue.

Very happy it's fixed though, want to get back to recording some Titanfall.

Also, OpenCL now seems much faster when rendering in Vegas Pro, it was probably reverting to CPU before now.........
