2.02 Stop working, how to restart it
Barabba11 opened this issue · comments
Hi, first let me thank you for this plugin, really useful!
I've just notice the 2.03 is out and I'll test it, anyway this morning I had a trouble, OBS was running from hours and I've opened its rtsp from another PC with VLAN, working, then I've opened with VLAN on an Android TV, it opened, but the second time it didn't more, the connection went in time out. I've stop the plugin but it didn't show me again start, I've closed Obs64.exe, the main window closed but the process still work in taskmanager, i've killed it than and reload obs,
My questions are:
- How can I fix the problem if it happens again? There is any dll running on task man that I can kill instead of obs64?
- May you please introduce a "watchdog" ar something to let plugin recover itself if it "hangs"?
- What you fixed in this new 2.03? There is any changelog?
- may you please withe in the plugin window the actual version? So it will be easy to understand if we need an update,
thank you a lot!
Hi @Barabba11 !
Does this problem always happen? Will it happen again if you do it again?
Q:

A: Could you maybe send the log file output? (be careful not to publish any sensitive data)
Q:
May you please introduce a "watchdog" ar something to let plugin recover itself if it "hangs"?
A: Could you explain that in more detail?
Q:
What you fixed in this new 2.03? There is any changelog?
A: Version 2.0.3 fixed a bug when using NVENC decoder See: https://github.com/iamscottxu/obs-rtspserver/releases/tag/v2.0.3

Hi, I couldn't say it yet because I'm not fully testing, before I need to find a way to switch scene by a simple http page, but the script doesn't work (
Anyway I suppose it wil happen, it happened too easy to think it will not happen more. I've just connected 3 times during firsts experiments to make it "hang". I'll report more when I'll test it hugely.
The log output didn't cotain any interesting information, it just hang and since that time all was ok.. or maybe there is your own log file somewhere?
A watchdog is a way to reload if something goes wrong, the idea to introduce something similar in your plugin will help keep running server forever. Maybe a second process which monitoring the first, for example send syn tcp request on port and see if the server replies with an ack, if not maybe there is a way to terminate the server and reload it again. There is any?
Thanks for reporting the last update, I'm using VLAN as decoder in the sony bravia Android TV , I dont' know if it does use some HW decoders which create the problem too.
Reporting the version in your window is useful to understand which version of your plugin is installed and if it's needed to update. I mean in the configuration window of your plugin, do you have the chance to write there the version number?
Thank you
Hi @Barabba11

Without a log file I can't see exactly what happened..... Maybe you overlooked it and there is something important in the logfile?. Could you upload the log file?
Normally OBS plugins all write to the same OBS log file.....you can click on Help –> Log Files –> Show Log Files and you should see the OBS log files. Don't forget to select the correct logfile (pay attention to the date and time).

You could use a program that recognizes whether a program was closed or it crashed and starts it after it crashed. If you have activated AutoStart in the RTSP Server settings then it could do what you wanted.
Here are some programs: https://www.raymond.cc/blog/keep-application-running-by-automatically-rerun-when-closed/
(beware some programs could contain malware!)

I think you mean an about page right? if so, i have already worked on it a bit but i still have to get in touch with @iamscottxu and discuss it.
Even if you think that the log output does not contain any interesting information, the log output may be of great help in analyzing the problem.
In addition, please provide details of how to play in Android TV so that I can reproduce this problem.
Thank you.

This suggestion is very good and will be added in a future version.
