Recording crashing while streaming.

[Nirethia]

Just as the title says, I've been recording God of War Ragnarok on PS5 via an Elgato 4K60 Pro and using OBS built in HDR > SDR color grading but after an hour or two it crashes the recording and refuses to restart. This has happened on 2 different occasions with a different nvenc error each time.

Here are the log files for the 2 days.

I'll also preface that I used the same recording settings to record Emulators (not HDR) and didn't have any issues. Any help would be appreciated!

There are certain problems in the log, you can easily find them yourself. Use the analyzer and follow the recommendation.

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

Maybe you should switch back to OBS 28.0.3 for a while.

I've changed most of the stuff in mentioned via the analyzer, but I'll also try rolling back to 28.0.3 today and report back. Thanks for the suggestion.

The two most-concerning lines that I'm not sure are mentioned in the analyzer are these:

Line 1641: 14:49:42.109: [jim-nvenc] get_encoded_packet: nv.nvEncLockBitstream(s, &lock) failed: 8 (NV_ENC_ERR_INVALID_PARAM):
Line 1642: 14:49:42.109: Error encoding with encoder 'advanced_video_recording'

The 2nd log was the most concerning since it actually messed up all my graphics settings and reset a bunch of stuff. Seems like the GPU was almost disabled briefly? I'm not sure how to word it.

After switching back to 28.0.3 I managed to record for a full 9 hours without any issues, thanks for the suggestion.
