Yeah, no doubt something's up with your rig but post the log from the session & I'll take a look.
Random static on my AXIS camera live stream.
- Thread starter John Zapf
- Start date
I just ordered a Dell R7920 (R740) I know that will fix the issue. Really not sure what is going on with the R720? like I sad it show no CPU usage but still flakes out a couple times a day. It could be having a problem with Trying to keep up with the 10 gigabit fiber card and all the data the three axis cameras are writing to the raid who knows. I can't figure it out. I don't see any errors anywhere, I just am tired of having to check and see if the sounds okay 10 times a day every day.
No need to waste your time. the replacement will ship out Monday.

Could be a driver, something failing. All you can do is keep troubleshooting or as you did replace. I was helping somebody else with OBS/server flaking out some time ago. It was his UPS failing....
Yesterday I set the two streams, the fountain cam and the feeder cam that are running in the corners to not use hardware (the video card) They don't use much anyways because I have them on a very low rez profile from the cameras because there so small, and now just the mainstream is using the video card hardware, And so far so good we will see. I'm thinking maybe the server didn't provide enough power for that video card? So I lowered the video card from 50% to 30% and brought the CPU up from basically 0.0% to 0.3% And so far the sound has been OK. I will know more in a day or two as it usually happens at least once a day.

Makes me wonder, GPU was @ 50% when you were encoding all 3 streams. Now 30% Since there is that massive CPU bottleneck, was that 50% utilized more like 100%?
And like I said those other two PNP streams that OBS is using are very low res. Their only 640x360, And highly compressed. All that is set in the AXIS camera. I have the stream that I use to stream to youtube, I have a low-res stream that I use for the picture and picture on OBS, and then I have a highest res and frames per second that I use for the recordings it sends to the network share.
Those two streams have their own urls where their high res and that streams directly from the camera to youtube. Streams can stream directly from the camera to youtube and then I have no problem with any of them very reliable I just use obs to add information to this one stream. https://youtu.be/ITBYocvH8ZU

And I don't do any recording with the OBS Server, the cameras do their recordings of the profiles that I set, directly to the network share.

Gotcha!
Olive is cute! I see them once in awhile in my neighborhood, although none this past summer.

Thanks,
This was all started accidentally years ago, I just wanted to share the hummingbird nest. Now it takes a ton of time and money.
The channel gets really busy in the spring during nesting season. Last year she had 4 clutches, eight chicks total for this season. She's quite the amazing little hummingbird. So now during the offseason I spend time upgrading equipment implementing any new things so I have all the bugs worked out by nesting season which last year actually started mid-December, all depends on the weather.
I see when I change the Video Encoder it resets the Output settings didn't catch that this morning. Just fixed that.
So what do you recommend on the Video encoder settings? I know H.265 is best, but in all my testing YouTube still has issues with (HLS) its not reliable. If I was just doing streams here and there it would be fine but when my streams stay on 24/7 365 YouTube H.265 (HLS) drops my streams after while and I have to redo the URLs and that's not cool.
So with that said and I know YouTube is processing my streams at H.264 (RTMPS) would it be best to use the video encoder: Nvidia Nvenc H.264 and not Nvidia Nvenc HEVC or even AV1?

Go back to post #7. H264 settings aren't much different, change Profile to High, add B Frames/lookahead if needed. RTMPS should be available for HEVC, get away from HLS.
Anyway I record H265, stream H264 & use this guide when I need info.

Like I sad I am starting to think It's not so much OBS, or the PowerEdge 720, or the video card itself that's having an issue. I think its that the video card is not getting enough power. The cable I'm using for the video card is pulling power from the riser card. And if I'm what I read that video card can use up to 250 watts in a riser only puts out 75? I'm sure they make a cable that will pull flower from the motherboard for that GPU, I just didn't have that cable.

It never was OBS, from the get go it was your rig, now we know why.
75w isn't enough. The GPU will draw up to 150w through the power connector, the rest of the power is suppied by the pci-e buss.
You need to run the correct cable directly back to the PSU.

2080 Super FE power requirements, both cables MUST be connected to the PSU.

These are not acceptable either. Run (2) separate power cables. Max power on these cables is still 150w....
On a Dell server they have two redundant power supplies, lots of power 1500w each, They don't have a way to add cables to the power supply, but they have ports on the motherboard that supply plenty of power. I just didn't have the right cable to plug in to the port on the R720 motherboard, however I do have the correct cables for the R7920 motherboard so all will be good.
And just to be clear I did connect additional power from a connector at the end of the riser. And Dell rates that at 75 watts and they always underrate everything I'm sure it puts out at least 125 watts maybe even 150 watts but I didn't use the correct power source located in two places on the motherboard like I said because I didn't have the correct cable for that I however had a cable that plugged into the end of the riser and had eight pins on it for the video card. this is the cable I am using now on the PE 720
