Since OSX Catalina video elements are frozen when loaded as browser source. (i.e. Streamoverlay). I've checked with others who use it and on discord, it's a known problem there. Hoping that developers know about the issue and are working to fix it. This problem only happens on OSX it works fine on Windows OBS. Also, rolling back to a pre Catalina version of OBS fixes the browser source video issue but breaks other essential OBS functionality. I would LOVE if this got fixed because it's a core part of my streaming. Even if it's not fixed can developers confirm that they know about this bug? Thanks!
Example below. (i'm switching scenes from black to overlay to highlight issue, the lower third is supposed to be a looped animation you can see it only updates when switching scenes): https://youtu.be/ByhJdUXf8Aw

Finally got an answer to this on another thread from @WizardCM !!!

"The cause is tied specifically to the browser library we're using, CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework). We currently disable the "new networking" in it on macOS as without this change, more than just media was broken. We're specifically waiting on a reimplementation of an existing feature on CEF's side, which would open the doors for browser source hardware acceleration in the future and fix this bug. We're keeping a close eye on it and will post updates as soon as we know more."

As of version 26.1.2 for Mac OS my browser source video loops are working! Let me know if it is OR is not fixed for you. Thanks to the developers for the latest update!
