Random static on my AXIS camera live stream.

[John Zapf]

It sure will be nice if someday they can have the settings captured in the profile or the scenes so you don't have to redo everything when you import to different computers. That's a lot of work setting all that back up on settings.

It's nice to be able to import the profile in the scene but I have to do about 18 different settings in the settings after I import both of those so it'd be nice to have those be able to be saved at some point in time and be able to import everything as is it's kind of a lot to remember so backups or exports should include that and they don't.

So just did some testing during off hours. Back on the PE 720. So there's no NVIDIA AV1 available. And running the stream there the video card RTX 2080 super is running at 68%. I take off all hardware and utilize CPU only, CPU goes up to 4% and GPU is still at 68%.

But like I said that shouldn't have caused the problem because the HPI was running it on earlier last year the GPU is utilizing 70 to 80% full time and never had an issue.

 

[John Zapf]

And again when I transferred it all over to my computer that it's running on now I had the same issues the sound went out right away when CPU was 0 and video card was under 20%.

 

[John Zapf]

And just a quick question should I stream in stereo? Are the mics and the cameras are mono. So should I set the stream to mono?

 

[John Zapf]

Man I think I'm gonna grab another one of these rtx 4090s from my client I had no idea it made that much of a difference from 68% to 15% Oh my God. There's seven of them in a box over there rotting away. they will never be use and they will just toss them at some point. They have already moved them to storage.

 

[rockbottom]

So much for isolation, now there's another bungled installation. Is that 3 or 4 of them now. I lost count, your just bouncing from one system to the other with another coming tomorrow. Troubleshooting skills be damned, seems you're falling further down the rabbit hole.

 

[rockbottom]

Look, you're not even following directions, how the hell are you going to fix anything? I told you back on page 1 Post #5 to disable HAGS, that was for the 720. Nothing changes, HAGS needs to be disabled on every system. On Tuesday you posted this slop for the 740. Someday you will figure it out, or maybe you won't but I suggest you start back on page 1. Waste your own time....

[John Zapf]

Yes okay I will make sure that's disabled everywhere. It is off on the 720. I've turned it off on my workstation where it's running now I just haven't rebooted yet I'm going to wait until I move the stream to the new server. Or maybe do it late at night? But as far as any hardware or video card issues, i've already determined that that's not the problem.

 

[John Zapf]

Server just came but it got smashed in shipping. going to have to return and get another one shipped, that will be another couple weeks.

 

[rockbottom]

Sounds like a blessing in disguise to me. If it wasn't free, I'd tell them to keep it & get a refund. The 740 with the 4090 that's already sporting dual encoders is overkill for 3 1080p steams. I get 11 concurrent 1080p streams with absolutely lag out of my 12900k/3090. Just imagine what could be done with a dual Zeon/4090 set-up. Someday John, someday....

 

[rockbottom]

I think it's 12.

That's OK I get these used $600 bucks, and it works good because of my raid and everything that I do. And yes it is overkill but I just wanted to run that one thing and record the three cameras and be stable. Like I said I'd prefer to Just run all the streams directly from the camera like I do the fountain cam and the feeder cam that would be the best and the most stable and I wouldn't have to have any computer for it but then I can't introduce the facts and the weather and all the other stuff and people seem to like that. Plus like I said I do record all three cameras so it's nice to have the server doing that also. It stays separate from my main network.

The main network has esxi running seven different servers.

And I have no room or place to put a tower it has to be a 1U or a 2U My Office is full.

 

[rockbottom]

Who said anything about getting a tower?

7 servers, that sucks, add another it's sucks even more. (electric). Guess you don't need a heater in the winter but the A/C bill must make up for it it the summer.

No there's a hole in the wall behind the rack and a squirrel cage in the attic, it pulls all the heat up into the attic. And we have solar, I don't get an electricity bill. I designed and put up my own solar two years ago, turned out great. And that's seven servers on one box vmware esxi running all seven servers, and each server runs better on esxi than if it was on its own independent box, it's amazing how that works.

[John Zapf]

I always wanted to do some tests of obs running on esxi in different sessions. Because I've done apples to apples. A server being the exact same server running esxi with a domain controller on it in the same server running just the domain controller. The esxi host of the domain controller takes 5 minutes to do the same updates that the domain controller running directly on the server takes 15 minutes to do updates. It's crazy server is running on an esxi host run three times faster than running directly on the server that's a fact. So I always wondered how sessions of obs would do.

 

[John Zapf]

Yay the new server is here and it's not smashed...

Got it all configured just finishing the setup now. I am such a huge Dell fan, 32 years of selling and working on all computers Dell is where its at.

Again I'm not worried about CPUs, I have lots of RTM 4090s, and video cards are way ahead of processors when it comes to doing what I'm doing.

One of the clients I work for gives me access to a lot of stuff. a couple years ago I had the first AMD 64 core processors on my bench dual processors in the machine I was checking out setting up for them. Last year I had a $250,000 Dell computer sitting on my bench have no idea what made it $250,000 I'm guessing the processors and all the ram, I don't know that's crazy.

But they have tons of parts and pieces video cards and all kinds of stuff that they test for Microsoft, Google, AMD, NVIDIA, etc... they're working on the NVidia Grace chip right now. $40,000 a chip, crazy.

Anyways I'm gonna put the new server in place tomorrow and move the stream to it and use AV1 and all will be good.

These PE740's with an RTM 4090 are fine for what I am doing. its basically just running one 1080P stream.

 

[John Zapf]

And the server I just ordered I told them give me the free processors (Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5118 CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.29 GHz (2 processors) I'm testing the stream right now processors are running at 0% video cards running at 10%. All is good. Like I said this is easy I'm not doing a ton of stuff I just needed to work forever without me even looking at it so now that I use AV1 all is fixed fixing that crap every single day and troubleshooting that was a nightmare.

I wear a lot of hats and spent enough money on everything to make sure I never have to babysit it.

 

[John Zapf]

And all is good it's a 100% clean install nothing but OBS Server. I'm just using the windows driver for the video card I'm not gonna install the NVIDIA experience.

And this is a great command to get rid of all the apps. Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
