Question / Help Possible NVENC encoder causes crashes when I switch scenes?

[Joshua Knight]

Here is my last log. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Where's the crash log?

Right there.

That's not a crash log. That's a session log.

 

[Joshua Knight]

That's not a crash log. That's a session log.

Okay. One second, I have to figure out how to get crash logs. Didn't know there was a difference. My bad.

 

[Joshua Knight]

I'm not sure exactly how you find crash logs. Thought session and crash logs were the same thing?

 

[Harold]

They are not the same thing.
Crash logs are in %appdata%\obs-studio\crashes

 

[Joshua Knight]

Interesting. When I go the destination, there is not a crash for today. Any ideas on why?

 

[Harold]

You're probably not actually getting a crash. If you aren't getting a "Whoops, OBS has crashed" screen, it's probably not a crash.

 

[Joshua Knight]

I'll screen shot it next time it happens but that box shows up, I promise.

OBS Studio log did show something, that happens 6 minutes after NVENC started.

This might be the graphics card or drivers failing to correctly stop NVDEC (Nvidia decoder) from media source (ffmpeg_source) causing problems with NVENC. You can try to turn off "Use Hardware decoding when available" on your "Countdown" and other video sources.

Right after switching away from 'Transition to Whatever':
16:26:50.362: error: Failed locking nvenc input buffer: invalid version (15)
16:26:50.362: [NVENC encoder: 'streaming_h264'] nvenc_encode: Error encoding: Invalid argument
16:26:50.362: error: EncodePicture failed!: invalid version (15)

Okay I'll try that and see what happens. Just weird that a crash log didn't show up.

Started my stream tonight and guess what didn't happen? A crash. Guess it was the Hardware decoding. Thanks for the help!
