Question / Help Unable to play back recorded streams.

[Wireframe2]

I recently ran into the issue of being unable to play back streams that get recorded. The stream is fine, but when I try to play it back on my computer, VLC just crashes. Is there any information I need to provide?

not without a log. maybe ensure key frames are set to 2. other than that, I cannot say without that log. click help in the ons window and upload a recent log when you streamed

you need to have some key frames in there. Set key frame interval to 2.

I've noticed a lot of NVENC presets grey this box out. I dont use NVENC but in order for VLC to be able to seek properly, key frames are needed. this also goes for streams since often you'll see grey or green screen at the start of watching streams when they dont have key frames or key frames are set ungodly high.

Also that is an extremely low bitrate for NVENC which needs MORE bitrate to keep up with the equivilent x264 (encoding with CPU). x264 needs roughly 4500-8000 bitrate for 1080@60fps so if you are streaming, and limited on bitrate, I would lower this to 480p@60fps to which your CPU could actually do without NVENC, plus it would look better than what you have now.

this is all said without seeing your stream, but I could imagine that it would look pretty aweful (no offense)
