TL;DR - OBS v27 stops stream with "encoding error" message. Issue likely caused by FFMPEG encoding an AAC with an error. How do I fix this issue?
Hello OBS Forums,
Since updating to OBS v27 I've been running into "encoding errors" during my streams.
OBS doesn't crash or close; the stream just stopped with an "encoding error" message and then won't start again until I completely close OBS and reopen it.
The streams can last anywhere from 2-3 hours before the "encoding error" can occur. The longest I've had was 3-5 hours before killing the stream.
Considering OBS doesn't actually crash, there is no proper crash log but I'll upload the latest anyway.
I was having no issues with OBS v26 since release, but since updating to v27 on its official release date, I get "encoding error" at least once a stream, every stream. (3 stream a week)
The only thing I've changed since updating was changing my microphone's audio filter from SPEEX to the NVIDIA RTX-VOICE filter to remove background noise.
I'm on the latest NVIDIA drivers, and I downloaded and installed the NVIDIA SDK required for the filter to work.
The only plugins I have installed are NewTek's NDI, and OpenVR
Having Googled the issue and searching the OBS Forums, the only thing I could really find was one person saying the it was caused by FFMPEG's encoding of an AAC audio stream. With that in mind, I checked the end of the logs just before the stream stopped and it seems to say the same thing.
The one thread I had found didn't have any solutions listed on how to stop or fix this error.
Below you can find my latest logs and the (useless) crashlog. I've cut out the particular useful piece of the first log file before my stream stops.
Feel free to read the rest of the log entries and If you need anything else or have any questions, please ask.
