Hi everyone. We're using OBS in a school setting to broadcast sporting events to YouTube. I have two IPS cameras streaming into OBS, one for our court and one for our scoreboard. The cameras and the PC are on the same network switch. Everything looks great until after about an hour, in which case the stream on the court camera steadily degrades. We start seeing ghosting, and occasionally stuttering and lag. Here is an example video from last night:

I've got the basketball court IP camera putting out 720p, and the scoreboard camera putting out 1.3MP resolution. Both 30fps. That helped after some earlier testing. The ghosting is visible on OBS before it goes out to YouTube, so I wonder if it's something I need to tweak in the OBS settings or on the computer. I haven't seen a sign of high CPU load; when we first fire it up it's as low as 5%. I've got a test stream running this morning and I'm going to try to access the camera directly via an app and see if maybe the problem is happening on camera.
I've attached a log file as well, and I'm not sure what else to look for. I had turned off Win10 Game Mode, and I see there's a Game DVR I can turn off. I'm also wondering why it says End Stream at 18:37 mark, because the games didn't end until 19:29, and the principal says nobody was touching the computer during the game. I considered maybe the artifacts started after that event in the logs, but it looks like there are some glitches and lag prior to that. I thought about trying hardware encoding, but I'd read elsewhere that software encoding would be better.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike
