Do you use OBS?

First topic message reminder :

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone else uses OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) as a media encoder to stream their casts? I started using it about a month ago or so, it seems to work well. It doesn't use alot of cpu usage and audio and video run crystal clear once you have the settings right.

i went back to using OBS Classic cuz it refuses to start Hardware AMD Encoding so i repeat if you have a machine that uses an AMD Chipset makes sure your up to date if not you won't be able to run OBS Studio unless you use Software encoding to bypass it that almost never works anyways without dropping frames.

You have fixed the problem you were having with OBS now right @DJAaronRadio? So the problem isn't with the update itself.

ok as i found out the issue was when i reinstalled the driver i didn't turn the Hardware encoding so i had to make sure to do that that's what happens when driver issues happen always got to make sure the settings are turned on for OBS to work right

So the problem wasn't with the update then?

partly yes and no see version 23.1 had issues with AMD drivers 23.2 fixed the issues that i was having and it also helped to update your graphics drivers that 23.1 had issues with out of the gate issue was it saying the driver was not up to date when it actually was so 23.1 i would avoid if your on AMD the main issue was i couldn't use my Hardware AMD Encoding to smooth out the streams FPS in turn it kept popping up an error message saying driver version is not up to date version 23.2 fixed issues in question when i turned everything on before the new version of OBS they kind of over looked that with AMD users in version 23.1 just thought i put that out there if your running the 7800 Series HD Graphics by AMD.

Boy AMD drivers do not like to play nice with anything do they.

well it's a combo of the 2

Well I am glad the update itself wasn't the problem. I have now updated mine and so far I am having no problems with my obs.

ya but i'm glad things are working fine now as far as OBS goes it was kind of a pain there for a while

I am glad it's working for you to.

ya much better actually

That's good. Have you used any of the new features that came out with the recent update?

Green Screen feature doesn't work for me since i'm on an AMD Chipset that only requires intel to run what other new features are there so far the Green Screen is the only one i seen at the moment.

I still haven't figured out how the green screen thing works to be honest.

I wasn't aware that OBS had this feature tbh.

they just added the feature not to long ago but they always had it in there it was a feature called chroma key it's always been there many people didn't know how to use it including myself
