OBSv28.01 - Freeze/Crash on Record Stop

Didn't see this listed as one of the fixes in 28.02.

Issue: Upon clicking "stop recording", OBS freezes. The recording timecode counter still goes up and doesn't stop. Only way to resolve is to end the OBS process.

Frequency: This happened to three separate users, 2 on PC, 1 on Mac. Happened to each of them once, during a day in which they probably did 30-40 recordings of varying length (5-15mins).

None of the users use any plugins and had zero issues with v27.

All users have the following settings; (except unique recording paths, of course)

I've attached a log file from one of the users, you can see where the crash occurs. It's the exact same for the other users.

14:22:48.564: ==== Recording Start =============================================== 14:22:48.564: [ffmpeg muxer: 'simple_file_output'] Writing file 'E:/GLASS ENGINE MAIN/OLD_JOURNALISTFULLNAME_AW_CAMA.ts'... 14:33:51.011: Stopping recording due to hotkey 14:34:06.331: Stopping recording due to hotkey 14:34:58.043: Stopping recording due to hotkey 14:51:47.906: Stopping recording due to hotkey 14:51:53.322: Stopping recording due to hotkey 14:51:57.070: output simple_file_output paused 14:51:58.597: output simple_file_output unpaused 14:52:10.076: ==== Shutting down ==================================================

here's a snippet from another users log, same thing

I hav the same issue, it's very annoying, because I have to kill the process, and restart OBS. I tried it with several recording formats and encoders, and no option work.

Appreciate it, that's a handy tool!

Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize when the issue happens. The issues it does list aren't a problem for us and are, likely, unrelated to the freezing.
