Question / Help Stream Freezes/Stops at random

[robl]

I have seen where many have this problem. I too had this problem when defining two streams in the source list. Both streams would run for a while and then one or both streams would freeze/stop. Today I removed one of the streams from the source list and the remaining stream is continuing to run without problem. Is is possible that my pc cannot stream two streams simultaneously? Or are there adjustments that need to be made elsewhere in OBS? Any help appreciated.

Was too optimistic. After two days of streaming the single camera stream froze/stopped.

I have now installed VLC player and I am streaming a single stream with OBS and VLC. So far so good. If this works for 4 or 5 days I will add a second stream.

3 days have passed using "VLC" in the source drop down and one camera. It has worked flawllessly so now I am going to two cameras using VLC in the source drop down. This is also working but more time is needed to evaluate. You can view the cameras here.

I never said these feeds rated a "WOW" response. Just a couple of bird feeders.
