Question / Help OBS + NVEnc : Resulting video has "seeking" problems.

[StriderVM]

To summarize the resulting video using OBS with NVenc is fine, but when playing back the video. It seems any media player I throw into this has problems seeking. Even video editors would have become stuck if I try to seek the video but would load fine if I just playbacked it normally and/or convert.

So yes, ther is an alternative solution in which I reconvert the video but it would be great if I can solve this so I don't lose time (and quality probably) by reconverting the video twice. =P

Show us OBS logs?
If log shows "keyint: -1" while using NVENC, change keyframe interval. Similar problem occ

FLV format may have slow seeking for huge files at over a few Gigabyes in size.
They can be converted using obs-studio file menu remux as this is fast and doesn't need to re-compress video, OBS studio is a separate free downloaded.

MP4 is risking corruption while recording for any OBS/PC crashes or running out of disk space, unless using OBS studio and custom MP4 muxer setting: frag_duration=15000000 (microseconds). Fragmented MP4 is safer but may slow down loading the video, but often not as slow as FLV. Again, remux can convert to a faster non-fragmented MP4.

My apologies for the very late reply. But this problem was solved. Setting Keyframe Interval to 1 solves the problem. =)
