Weird OBS Preview/Output lag only with PS4 through Avermedia

[petedodd]

So i just got a new PC today that I believe, on paper, should be fine to stream. i5 4th gen, 570 4gb, 8gb of ram (i have 8 more in the mail), obs running off ssd.

So when I play PC games, things are fine. Hearthstone works great. I know it's not the most taxing thing in the world. I tried out satisfactory, and that was choppy, but I completely expected choppy for that and am fine with it being choppy because that made sense.


What doesnt make sense is when I use my avermedia usb capture card, the preview and stream start off perfect, 60 fps. But after about 10 seconds it gets choppy. And after about 30 seconds it's basically frozen or a very slow slide show.


The stats dock does not show frames being skipped due to encoder lag or decoder lag. Says its 60 fps, even though it's a slide show.

Shouldnt something off a capture card be easier for OBS to deal with than even Hearthstone?


Here's my log. https://obsproject.com/logs/1cKvS6Riqlyq4uje


Anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much.

One thing I forgot to mention, when I open the avermedia software, and run a preview window, there is zero lag. So the device works with the computer fine through that software, but not OBS.

Update number 2. I just figured out I can run a game into the avermedia capture and then use window capture and capture the avermedia preview window, and then stream it just fine.


This makes no sense.

hi pete! first I have to apologize for my English... second, I have the same problem and I don't know what it is, if I capture the avermedia app I lose a lot of quality, I'm about to buy another capture card but first I wanted to see if I could solve it... were you able fix it? Thank you very much already!
