So I have a Rebel t2i connected to my PC (Windows 10) with the USB port, and it automatically starts the EOS Utility software when I connect it, but after 30 minutes (I have multiple videos that show it's 30 minutes) the software will automatically shut off.
• I'm using the Live-View, not recording though. I keep the live-view open and do a window capture in OBS so that I can have a quality camera as a webcam for streams. (I'm fully aware that this camera is old, but it's better quality than a $60 webcam).
• The camera is on AC power, and the camera itself doesn't shut off when the application closes.
• All I have to do is press a button on the camera and the application starts again - I don't have to replug anything.
• I'm not recording during because I get lag when I do this, and I don't want that.
• I've looked into the settings, and can't find anything that would cause it or make sure it does not happen.
• I've tried "automatic shut off (except with AC power)" on and off and it doesn't change anything.
• The version I'm using is up to date.
• Tried with and without SD card, doesn't change anything.
• Changed cables and it doesn't change anything.
• I've tried pressing buttons in the app preiodically to let the app know it's being used, and it hasn't worked.
I don't know why an app would close out every 30 minutes on it's own, I haven't had that issue with anything else.
Let me know if there's any more info that could help, or any other (cheap) way for me to connect my t2i to OBS/Streaming Software that won't shut off every 30 minutes.
