Hello everyone. I'm having this bizarre problem where OBS on Linux displays video from my camera, but then the video freezes after 15-30 seconds, and stays frozen. The OBS program itself does not get frozen/unresponsive. Just the video signal.
Here are the steps that lead to it...
[1] I run OBS on my Linux Mint system (Lenovo ThinkPad X270 Laptop). Camera and HDMI capture card already connected.
[2] OBS automatically connects to my capture card, starts displaying video.
[3] I don't do anything else. I let OBS display the video. I don't click on Start Recording or Start Streaming. I leave it alone and it displays the video signal.
[4] Video freezes after about 1/2 a minute (~30 sec). And then stays frozen. Like a still image.
[5] Despite showing a frozen/still image, OBS reports elevated CPU utilization: 6-9%.
Note: This all happens without starting recording/streaming. If I start recording, the video output gets saved with a still picture after mm:ss time.
Things I have already tried:
[1] I repeated above steps on my same ThinkPad X270 Laptop, but on the Windows 7 partition. No problems at all. No freezes. No dropped frames. Video comes out very well in OBS on my Windows partition.
[2] I repeated above steps on a different laptop (Toshiba Satellite C55t) with the same Linux Mint OS. No problems. No freezes. Laptop had lower HW specs, but video kept going.
Log file from OBS on my Linux System: https://obsproject.com/logs/3V2YQmirawXxJjzb
What's strange from the log file is that only 1 second is recorded. OBS didn't log after that 1 second. Maybe etiology is in V4L2?
My Hardware Setup:
PC: Lenovo ThinkPad X270 Laptop with a Core i5-7300U CPU @ 2.60GHz and with 16 GB RAM
Capture Device: Magewell USB Capture HDMI Plus (it's new, I purchased it a couple weeks ago)
Camera: Canon VIXIA HF R80
I have the camera connected to capture device via HDMI. And capture device to PC is a USB3 connection.
I would greatly appreciate any help and will make a small donation to the OBS project. :-) Thanks.
