Question / Help Random crashing and insane sized logs

Hello. I've switched to multiplatform very early on in 2015 and been happily using it since. But about 3 days ago it started randomly crashing with this message: http://i.imgur.com/IGAG8EY.png after 15-20-70 minutes, seemingly randomly. I'm using a capture device to record another pc's output. One of the main reasons I switched was the support for my Fujitsu H5x based capture device. What happens is that the video capture device handler would stop working, OBS gives me the error message but still keeps streaming with the picture of the capture device being frozen. When I click one of the blank buttons, it closes OBS. After reopening OBS, everything is working again. Now I started looking at the crash logs and other logs, and found that it always refers to avcodec-57.dll at the fault address. I'll attempt to upload my log files here, but I seem to be having problems with that right now. I'll try in another post.

Also when looking at log files I discovered some 150MB large log files, which is insane for a text file. Every second it posts "Error decoding audio" and "error: Error decoding AAC frame header." multiple times, around 40 times or so per second. Now probably this is some issue with the capture device not being able to send audio through OBS. But that doesn't matter for me, since I'm using a different audiosource, my sound card for this. Can I somehow get rid of this and not make it post this useless information into my log file, making them so large?

After reinstalling OBS I thought I solved the issue, but no, the next day it crashed after 14 minutes of streaming. Now I downgraded it to 0.14.2, but I don't have high hopes for it fixing the issue. I'm a speedrunner, so it is really frustrating and nervewracking, knowing that it can crash anytime, making me lose a potential good run.

Here is a smaller than 1MB log file, I was only streaming for a couple of minutes for this one I think.
