Webcam freezes after a while: Failed to send frame to codec

[es20490446e]

System

• OBS Studio Version 29.0.2
• Creative Live! Cam Sync 1080p
• KDE Plasma 5.27.4
• Linux Zen 6.3.5 Arch Linux
• Manjaro Stable Branch

Steps to Reproduce

• Just keep the webcam on in OBS.

Result

• After a while the webcam LED powers off, and the image freezes.
• The rest of OBS continues working.
• It didn't happen on guvcview after many hours powered on, with the same cam settings.
• It happened in a different laptop with the same operating system.
• Changing USB port to an exclusive one, or changing webcam settings, doesn't fix the issue.

It looks like your device produces an invalid video stream

Maybe OBS treats that error as exceptional when it isn't.

@kkartaltepe This only happens on OBS by the way.
