What is the issue?

Every time ollama needs to be restarted for an update it either directly requests I close OBS or outright shuts it down mid-streaming, I couldn't for the life of me determine why, but perhaps you're both using the same &/or conflicting libraries?

Regardless of the why, it is completely senseless on the surface...
at bare minimum deserves an explanation so that I might try to find my own solution worst case...

OS

Windows

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

All of them, the entire time. Since the first release.

OBS is likely pulling in something from the PATH which we update. I'll look at reshuffling a few things to get them out of the PATH (cuda in particular) but we'll need the vcruntime redistributable. As a workaround, try adjusting your PATH to move the ollama directory to the end, and hopefully some other directory also contains whatever OBS is dependent on.

thanks guys!

@dhiltgen I assume you're referring to editing system variables PATH? the User or System Variables?
I've only been in here a couple times to fix a python path issue ages ago.
