loganalyzer

OBS Studio is a popular free tool for recording video and live streaming, and this project, loganalyzer, automatically reads the diagnostic logs the software produces and highlights problems. Instead of scrolling through a dense text file looking for clues about why your stream dropped frames or your recording stuttered, you point this tool at a log file and it gives you a plain-English summary of issues like insufficient hardware, rendering lag, or low network bandwidth.

Under the hood, it is a Python script that scans a log file for known patterns and error messages. You can use it two ways: through a command-line interface by passing it a URL to a log file (such as one uploaded to GitHub's "gist" service), or through a small local web server that runs on your machine and gives you a browser-based interface. Either way, the output sorts findings into three tiers — Critical, Warning, and Info — and includes short explanations of each issue it finds.

The primary audience is anyone trying to troubleshoot OBS performance, from solo streamers to community volunteers helping people in tech support forums. If a streamer posts a log link asking "why does my recording look choppy," a helper can run the log through this tool and immediately see that the person was running the auto-config wizard, using an MP4 format instead of a safer alternative, or pushing their CPU to 100%.

The README does not go into much detail beyond basic setup and usage, so the full list of detectable issues and how it decides severity is not documented. What is clear is that the project is designed to be straightforward — a single script plus a small optional web server, written in Python and intentionally kept simple.
