I'm not the developer, but I looked in your crash log, and it's crashing in the Intel driver. I recently had a similar situation, where I switched from an Intel CPU to AMD, but the Intel drivers were still lingering around. Purging the system of the Intel drivers fixed the problem for me. Now I'm able to encode with the AMD APU (Ryzen 5 2400g) without problems!

Is there any support to get this to work on a macOS system? I run macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra via a Hackintosh equipped with an i5 4590 and an AMD RX 480. I want to start recording/streaming some live music session which is CPU heavy, so I was hoping to have a way to leave the encoding to my GPU.

I don't know. AMD just released Vulkan support for the SDK, which also allows you to use Linux-based OS's with amdgpu pro drivers, but I am not using one of their whitelisted OSs, so their drivers do not install for me. An alternative is to use mesa/opensource drivers, which have the H264 and H265 encoders and decoders exposed via VAAPI and then use the VAAPI plugin work: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/experimental-ffmpeg-vaapi-plugin.61529/

This is likely unrelated to the AMD encoder, you might have more luck in the generic windows support forum.

I've installed this plugin on windows for OBS 22.0.2.
When I go to Settings --> Output --> Recording
The AMD Encoder does not show up in "recording format".
I suspect I'm missing something...
Is there a constellation of additional non-OBS, non-plugin software that I should install?
Is the recipe for those additional installs listed anywhere? If so, may I have a link?
Thank you.

You have to ask AMD about that. It is very unlikely that I or any member of this forum can tell you anything about AMD supporting Macs for AMF. You might have luck with VAAPI if that is a thing on Mac.
You need the latest AMD Driver and a supported GPU. The plugin is included in OBS Studio.

Xaymar, thanks so much for your reply. Huh! Okay. I can see in the latest log that it's not loading, but it's a little vague about why. I have an HD Radeon 6800 series. Is my GPU too old? I see that modules failed to load...

Okay, sounds like I'm out of luck! :( Thanks for the succinct explanation, though.

@PCMan123 , this thread only for AMD encoder issues, if any.
"Crashes" of your PC with the x264 encoder is different thing. Previously you have asked about issue where you lost permissions to access recordings folder each time you have used AMD encoder. Now you saying that you have crashes of your PC. What's up man?
