Expected Behavior
Recording stops correctly, the program continues to work normally
Current Behavior
Recording control button goes to "Stopping recording...", also, the stream indicator (the square in the lower right corner) lights up green, but the bitrate indicator shows 0 bit/s, so in fact I can`t push stream. Restarting OBS does not help, only restarting the computer helps.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start pushing RTMP stream
- Periodically start/stop recording for some time, it usually takes me 8-9 days to reproduce the bug
Anything else we should know?
OBS studio log url is shortened because of its to big. You can search through with "01:00:28.031" - its bug reproduce time

Start by reviewing the linked OBS Studio log around 01:00:28.031 and follow the listed steps: stream via RTMP, then repeatedly start and stop recording. Done means recording stops correctly and the stream remains functional without requiring an OBS or computer restart.
