OBS stopped my stream.

Hello!

OBS seems to have stopped my stream, but I can't figure out what the problem was.

Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance,

Any ideas?

Ancient CPU for computationally demanding real-time video encoding... though with other errors in log not sure if CPU contention elsewhere is preventing render/encoding lag (as no frames to process), or your setup is actually adequate...
though trying color correction on such a CPU... seems like a stretch, but not my area. I tried to do less when I first started with OBS, with a 2 generation newer CPU, and similar GPU... and failed as CPU simply was overloaded.

So, my recommendations on quick glance, and not being a gamer, would be
- going through the log and fixing a bunch of the 'failed to open' errors... they can't be helping
this includes the audio-capture failed to load issue you have
- dropping to 30fps until you get the system stable and functioning, then testing with increasing fps or other settings
- don't use computationally intensive filters/effects (like chroma-keying,
- real-time monitor your hardware resource (CPU, GPU, RAM, Disk I/O, etc) usage

Hi Lawrence and thank you for your reply.

I'll look into these things.
The CPU is indeed old, the CPU workload doesn't seem to hit 30% at max when encoding.
But maybe that doesn't matter, not sure.

Kind Regards,
Vivi

If that CPU% is from OBS Stats - ignore it. The concern is overall system CPU usage (ie Task Manager/Performance Monitor), not just OBS main process CPU usage. OBS could be 1%, but if CPU pegged above ~95-100% all kinds of things can break (especially when on a HDD, vs SSD due to disk I/O latency)
