OBS crashing after 10 minutes of recording

[bobbylyte]

I'm running

Mac OS Catalina version: 10.15.7 (19H2)
It's a Macbook 16 inch, bought a few months ago, so it's quite new.

Here's the crash text Mac displays:

Anyone else seeing this?

Oh btw, I'm also using a Chroma key filter on a single video capture input. Not sure if that could be causing it.

 

[bobbylyte]

Also just to add, OBS crashes when it's practically doing nothing. I just have:
- NDI source, with a chroma key filter
-Display Capture
- Audio Input Capture.

I'm not recording or streaming and after a few mins it crashes. Please help. Is there an older version of OBS I should try? Really struggling with this.

Soooo, how much memory? what cpu? what capture card? what speed network? wifi or wired? what canvas size? what output settings? saving locally or on a network drive? log file?

Here are the last four logs from the crashes.

Here are all the specs:

Canvas Size: 1344x840
Output: 1152x720
Capturing via iPhone through NDI
Not streaming nor recording so network doesn't matter.

Also seems to be taking up a lot of CPU.

Please help as I'm not able to record or stream :(.

Same problem on MacOS 10.15.7, OBS (any version between 25 and 26 I've tried) seems to crash every 10 minutes, and not from any one action. My CPU is between 12-14% though.

I just made it crash by dragging it from my linked display to my main display. Not sure if that is connected. I was running from Terminal and it did not send me a crash report.
