My StreamElements display is showing a different number of followers than my Twitch account. How do I change the count settings?

#

Thanks @stuck hamlet !!! Yo Rock!

ancient wigeon
#

lemme bits cup

#

pls

#

I got u blue

pine hemlock
#

@upbeat tree 80% cpu usage is high, if thats without a browser source to begin with.

#

You're dropping fps because your cpu can't handle it

upbeat tree
#

My cpu can handle it. My game isn't just the obs capture. I've steamed without SE and my cpu at 100% and the capture wasn't lagging

pine hemlock
#

Your cpu should never be at 100% while streaming.

upbeat tree
#

Well it has in the past. And there was no lag

pine hemlock
#

Okay but adding anything else to your obs while hitting those percentages will cause issues, aka frame drops

#

What graphics card do you have

upbeat tree
#

That's why nothing was added at 100% and there was no lag. But cpu at 80% with SE wouldnt be lagging like it is

pine hemlock
#

That's debatable

upbeat tree
#

Graphics card shouldn't matter. But I have a Nvidia 650TI boost

pine hemlock
#

Well i was going to suggest you could try GPU encoding(NVENC) but you can't with that card

#

GPU encoding would reduce your cpu load

#

but Its only working on 9xx series and above

upbeat tree
#

But the point is, 2 or 3 weeks ago I was also using SE and there was not this much FPS drop on capture

pine hemlock
#

Your cpu usage is probably fluctuating which is what causes the fps drops. Did you add anything else to your overlay between the time? There could be a bunch of variables

#

When you're not in a demanding game your cpu can handle the overlay fine, but once you add a game into the mix, its spiking.

#

Your cpu is 6 years old now. I don't know the rest of your setup, you could always try to refresh your system and see if that helps but I can't garauntee that would change anything.

upbeat tree
#

I added a recent bit cheer. And it lagged. But the CPU was at 80% before and after that. And I switched to a super theme and I'm getting the same amount of lag

pine hemlock
#

Have you tried just creating a blank overlay with say, one widget on it - does it have the same problems? Theres not much I can honestly do. If your computer is struggling how are we to blame

upbeat tree
#

Refresh my system?

And I know my system is old. I need to get it updated. But when you have full time college classes and a job you can only go to once a week it's hard

#

My computer wasn't struggling 2 weeks ago

pine hemlock
#

Refresh such as reformat, or if you're on win8+ theres an option to "refresh" your system which does the same thing as reformatting - aka wiping and starting with a clean install

upbeat tree
#

I just did that at the start of summer

#

I do it about once a year depending on if it's needed

pine hemlock
#

Do you run AV software or anything

upbeat tree
#

AV softwar? You mean anti virus?

pine hemlock
#

yes

#

I want to help, it's just a tough situation where we don't know how much cpu usage is added with the overlay on a system by system basis

upbeat tree
#

No. I shouldn't have a virus. Considering I don't download from sketchy websites

pine hemlock
#

Can you do me a favor

upbeat tree
#

With no stream my cpu is at maybe 10. Game loaded or goes to 50-60% obs open not streaming 70% then when streaming 80% (with overlay)

#

Depends.

pine hemlock
#

Open obs and go to settings, screenshot your Output, video and advanced tabs

upbeat tree
#

Well like I said depends. My pc is off now. I posted that like 2 hours ago

pine hemlock
#

Well when you're back on it

#

You can dm me them

upbeat tree
#

Eye- eye- cap'n but I checked and double checked my output. And I've had Reddit check it in the past. Should be fine

pine hemlock
#

shrugs cant hurt anything. Ive watched your vods and it looks alright. I understand your frustration i'm just not sure of a way to solve it, if there is a way

#

your stream does look smooth minus the overlay. It could have been the scrolling text causing it, though.

#

Animations cause more issues than static stuff

upbeat tree
#

Creepy vod lurking

pine hemlock
#

Well. Its a way to try and help

terse canyon
#

hey dudes, seems like you're troubleshooting OBS usage issues. Mine takes up like 30% - 40% halp!

upbeat tree
#

Yeah

#

But it is my turn with the tech person

pine hemlock
#

I mean, generally obs support is on their forums. what are your pc specs @terse canyon

terse canyon
#

yeh I know, but response is typically a few days and I have time now.

#

FX 6300, 12GB ram, GTX 960

upbeat tree
#

Anyways I'm going to sleep. I'll DM the picture tomorrow

pine hemlock
#

ok. night @upbeat tree

terse canyon
#

nite @upbeat tree x94ontW

pine hemlock
#

@terse canyon Screenshot your video, output and advanced tabs for me

livid zinc
#

AMD there is your problem. Kappa

pine hemlock
#

@livid zinc usually i say that

terse canyon
#

clau pls

#

check my VOD from today. decent indicator

pine hemlock
#

I meann It looks fine to me, high cpu usage isnt a terrible thing unless you start getting obs saying high encoding in red text

#

You could try using NVENC encoding to use your gpu instead of your cpu.

terse canyon
#

already doing that

pine hemlock
#

o

#

And you're still using that much cpu?

terse canyon
#

ayup

#

and it won't give the red text until the game figures out what's up ... if it does at all, at which point the game will throttle down and the text goes away

#

it's like my system's forcing itself to overuse then overcompensate

livid zinc
#

Are you running minecraft in 20 fps?

terse canyon
#

kinda bottlenecking itself it seems

pine hemlock
#

Can you export your current profile & scene collection and then start a new profile

#

How many scenes/sources do you have generally

terse canyon
#

playing my same custom modpack, or any game with the same settings for that matter, is not giving reliably reproducable results

pine hemlock
#

and do you have your browser sources set to shutdown while inactive?

terse canyon
#

performace doesn't matter from 1 scene to like 8

#

yup

#

number of browser sources did not affect obs

pine hemlock
#

You're running 64 bit obs right

terse canyon
#

yup

#

in administrator mode

#

using game capture

pine hemlock
#

can you send me your log file from that stream

terse canyon
#

where would I get that? never done that b4

pine hemlock
#

Help-> log files -> Show log files

#

find the one dated from that stream

#

upload here or dm me idc

#

(idk if you can upload in the chat but yolo)

terse canyon
#

wait wot? O.o

#

1 se

#

sec

#

WHY IS AERO ENABLED

#

that always gave me issues b4

pine hemlock
#

Its auto enabled on win 10

terse canyon
#

UGH

pine hemlock
#

also

terse canyon
#

i hate win 10 even more now

pine hemlock
#

Change your downscale filterr under video

#

to BIlinear

#

bicubic causes issues

#

promise

terse canyon
#

I don't downscale.

#

tried both of thsoe, no difference

#

i mean, i'll change it ... but yeh

pine hemlock
#

Just change it, bicubic wont benefit you

#

or anyone really

terse canyon
#

mmkeh

#

anything else?

#

i'm set to test strim

pine hemlock
#

You could update your obs to the current version

terse canyon
#

thought it auto did that already, ugh

#

can I force it to check again?

#

found it XD

pine hemlock
#

You know about the twitch inspector right?

terse canyon
#

the auto configure thing?

pine hemlock
#

nah

#

You can also run a test stream without anyone watching

#

add ?bandwidthtest=true to the end of your stream key

#

and go live

#

No one will see you live, but it will stream to their test servers

#

helps when ironing our issues

#

The inspector gives you data about your stream and helps diagnose problems too

terse canyon
#

okay, done

pine hemlock
#

Oh you said you're using gpu encoding right?

#

Can i see your settings

terse canyon
#

yup

#

which settings?

pine hemlock
#

Output tab

terse canyon
pine hemlock
#

Go to the top and hit advanced

terse canyon
pine hemlock
#

Set your bitrate between 2500-4k
Framerate 30
Keyframe Interval 2
Profile: Main
Level: 3.1

terse canyon
#

what's level do?

pine hemlock
#

Just what twitch recommends for a 720p 30fps stream

#

I dont know

terse canyon
#

imma uncheck two-pass encoding. seems like a waste of resources given my situation

stuck hamlet
#

Set level to Auto

pine hemlock
#

Why onslut

stuck hamlet
#

With the new update, it might fuck your shit up

#

Apparently

terse canyon
#

how so?

stuck hamlet
#

Well not literally, but might stop you from streaming.

pine hemlock
#

where did you see that

stuck hamlet
#

Jim said you shouldn't be touching level, and just keep it auto

pine hemlock
#

fuck jim

stuck hamlet
#

Jim

pine hemlock
#

jim didnt even know you could do this with 9 series cards

#

what does jim know

stuck hamlet
#

Fuck the dev for obs

#

Got it

pine hemlock
#

yes

#

Ask jim what the difference between auto and 4.1 is

#

Why auto

terse canyon
#

thought you said 3.1 XD

pine hemlock
#

@terse canyon for you 3.1 yes

#

for 60fps twitch say 4.1

terse canyon
#

ah

#

see, i need to know that

#

'cause I used to do 1080p60 at 4K XD

pine hemlock
#

thats scary

terse canyon
#

wasn't that bad either

pine hemlock
#

Aka the settings i gave you a few moments ago

terse canyon
#

okay done.

#

test stream again?

pine hemlock
#

Yeah change your stream key to add ?bandwidthtest=true at the end and start streaming

#

see what your cpu is like now

#

etc

terse canyon
#

done

#

testing

#

worse

#

pretty much pegged at 95% now

pine hemlock
#

On obs or on your pc overall

terse canyon
#

overall

#

it's NEVER been this high

pine hemlock
#

I cant see your inspector stuff, only you can

terse canyon
#

rarely went above 70% even at 1080p60 4K b4

#

ah

pine hemlock
#

Try turning off advanced for your output

terse canyon
#

wait, it's only saying max of 20% cpu now

pine hemlock
#

While you're streaming?

terse canyon
#

yup

#

okay, that matches what task manager is showing yet cpu is still way to high

pine hemlock
#

What else is running

terse canyon
#

nothing I normally didn't b4

#

pretzel, twitch app, display fusion, discord, steam, spotify, greenshot, few chrome tabs doing near nothing, borderless gaming, and basic driver/utility stuff

#

I can't even stream CS:GO anymore ... that's a solid reference point.

pine hemlock
#

Even without all the overlay browsers etc

#

?

terse canyon
#

i've deleted all of the overlays except for oen which has no pictures or text or antyhing but that for cheer/tip/etc

pine hemlock
#

Sounds weird and im not sure what to sugggest

terse canyon
#

yeh okay. thx ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

least I got the right settings now

pine hemlock
#

I would just try and keep an eye on background processes in task manager

terse canyon
#

testing csgo at lowest settings at 900p now

pine hemlock
#

Anything using high cpu shouldnt be running while streaming generally

terse canyon
#

yup yup

pine hemlock
#

move away from amd at some point ๐Ÿ˜

terse canyon
#

there's nothing wrong with amd

#

...

pine hemlock
#

bingShrug but intel is BlobOwO

terse canyon
#

15 fps at all lowest 900p settings

pine hemlock
#

you could try swapping back to the x264 encoder, i doubt you'd see better results though

terse canyon
#

actually done that b4 too. completely froze everything.

#

like, hard froze pc XD

pine hemlock
#

is your cpu overheating?

#

Download realtemp and watch your temps maybe

terse canyon
#

nope

#

it's 2am

#

cool too

#

obs crashed when changing settings in csgo

pine hemlock
#

Yeah but a hard freeze when using x264 encoding doesnt sound normal

terse canyon
#

none of this is normal, that's what i'm trying to figure out hte cause

#

this win installation isn't even 3 months old

pine hemlock
#

Does your pc ever freeze doing anything else

terse canyon
#

nope, enver

#

never

#

never even gets above 40%

#

even when doing the same games

pine hemlock
#

I would download something to monitor your temps, also run a memtest

terse canyon
#

also, i don't have any of these issues when just recording 1080p30

pine hemlock
#

But you cant stream 1080p30

stuck hamlet
#

Recording and streaming isn't the same thing

terse canyon
#

agreed, yet i'm doing what's the more powerful of the two without issues

#

WOW, cpu at < 10% now

#

umm, didn't change anything from the time it crashed 'cept game settings ... nothing extreme tho

#

can we do voice so I can talk while I do more tests?

stuck hamlet
#

That's if cuda can. I am currently at work.

terse canyon
#

kk

#

even if yall type i can talk and read too.

#

thanks again for everything thus far tho โค

pine hemlock
#

I mean. I could but i'm not sure what we're going to figure out. I have a feeling its a temperature issue limiting you

terse canyon
#

it's not. garuntee it.

#

temps at ~60 most times

pine hemlock
#

And how many sticks of ram are you running total

terse canyon
#

4

#

2x4 2x2

pine hemlock
#

Interesting choice there but im not sure if that contributes to the issue

terse canyon
#

wasn't by choice, was by time and wallet

#

gonna test on my channel in a sec. thx ๐Ÿ˜„

terse canyon
#

hey, can you check my stream now? CPU is at mid 50s yet matchmaking in unreal tournament is at 14fps

#

like, obs is there. the game is fine

pine hemlock
#

Dunno what to suggest. Download a program like Msi afterburner or EVGA Precision and change your power level on your gpu and set your fan control

terse canyon
#

done it, ididn't really help

#

it actually muddied the results

stuck hamlet
#

Upgrade 4HEad

terse canyon
#

-_-

#

that hurts.

#

i know you're trying to help, but I obv can't do that if i'm going trhough this level of work to fix it.

spiral salmon
#

I was in somebodies channel and their bot was spamming messages every 5 minutes or so... how do I set that up? I looked through the custom commands but did not see that option.

clever mango
#

Timers

#

Found at the bottom of the left tabs

spiral salmon
#

Doh, totally missed that, thanks again!

clever mango
#

But do you really want the bot spamming every 5 minutes? OMGScoods

spiral salmon
#

Nope, Ill have a bigger delay

clever mango
lament blade
#

I have a problem with scene transitions and using the animated overlay. Can anyone help?

stuck hamlet
#

Sup?

#

I'm guessing this has to do with it taking a while to load up, this is due to having "shutdown source when not active", the work around is to activate studio mode, let the scene load and then transition.

#

And then turning studio mode off.

lament blade
#

You are amazing. Thanks!!!

stuck hamlet
#

No problem ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

blazing briar
#

heya was curious to know if anyone can tell me why my alert sounds double up please

clever mango
#

Shutdown source when not visible

blazing briar
#

ok ill try that thanks

marble mauve
#

Why does slots lose 100 percent of the time?

keen helm
#

so how come song request isn't working by song name search? Is it always like this because nightbot has it setup for title search as well http://prntscr.com/g8actt

Lightshot

Captured with Lightshot

clever mango
#

@marble mauve It's not exactly clear from the module but here is how the slot machine works:

The slider increases the payout if you manage to win
Less than 100 on the slider means people will not win money over time using the slot machine. 80-100 is a good range

less emotes = higher win chance
its like 5 emotes = 3%, 4 emotes = 7%, 3 = 12%
actual formula : n / n^3
n = number of emotes

blazing briar
#

that seemed to have worked thanks @clever mango โค

clever mango
#

@keen helm The reason for this is that youtube currently has a limit on the amount of API requests that we can make. Searching with !sr requires a much higher number of API requests so we have disabled it for the time being until youtube increases the limit. It will be available in the future

keen helm
#

so that's with title searching @clever mango

clever mango
#

Correct

#

With a higher limit we should also be able to display the current playing song from the backup playlist, not just the songs from the song request queue

keen helm
#

So how come nightbot runs it fine is what im getting at

thorny torrent
#

When using the api endpoint PUT /points/:username/:amount ... is it possible to use "all" as username to add/remove points from all viewers in chat?

clever mango
#

Because nightbot has a different limit

keen helm
#

ah ok

#

i noticed it doesn't display the backup playlist too btw

clever mango
#

See my post a few messages up

keen helm
#

yeah

#

I saw

clever mango
#

@thorny torrent The default command !addpoints with alias !editpoints can use all for all viewers in chat

thorny torrent
#

@clever mango thank you, but i know that you can use this in chat. But the question is, can i use this in the api request too?

clever mango
#

Oh, that's not something I'm familar with... let me check

tawny pivot
lean wedge
#

Hey is there any way to change the bots name to something else?

clever mango
#

No, it could be a feature in the future though

lean wedge
#

oh, so you'd have to pay for something like that

#

oh well never mind

clever mango
#

Sorry, I don't know that it would be premium

lean wedge
#

lol

clever mango
#

But it's not currently a feature

lean wedge
#

hmm

devout wolf
#

for current song, could you add feature to show the song name that is playing from backup playlist?

edgy kindle
#

@devout wolf I believe this is limited right now due to the api but will be fixed when we get youtube onboard with us and raise our limit

devout wolf
#

I see thank you

strong dock
#

any reasno why half my alerts dont have gifs attached to them now and wont let me readd them?

edgy kindle
#

@strong dock When did you last edit the overlay/what browser?

strong dock
#

chrome

#

last night

#

and right now

edgy kindle
#

Let me see if there was any updates made between then

strong dock
#

well lthey work now in the test

#

but had two followers and nothing happened

edgy kindle
#

Hmm did the alert show and not the image?

strong dock
#

so my two followers didnt trigger alert

#

text chat did

#

but not obs alert

#

when i went to check overlay it wont let me see what gif is attached to those alerts but when i do test alert it worked

edgy kindle
#

Are you streaming right now?

frosty zealot
#

does your test alert play in your OBS preview?

strong dock
#

ya

#

also does my stream elements have to be on Song Request page to play music all the time?

tight harness
#

Are we certain they weren't refollows?

edgy kindle
#

@tight harness Chat alert proced but the overlay alert did not apparently

clever mango
#

@strong dock Yes, or Ground Control app

tight harness
#

Ahh yeah

edgy kindle
#

also peoples this doesnt take 4 people to answer lol it will just get the person confused on who to answer LUL

#

@strong dock See if in your dashboard you can resend the follower alert and see if it pops on obs properly

#

Also make sure to CTRL+F5 your overlay editor

strong dock
#

resending via dashboard worked

edgy kindle
#

Alright i'm going to send you a follow and see if it plays properly in OBS

strong dock
#

lol but follower goal went from 2/20 to now 46/20 hidRip

edgy kindle
#

You can change that via the edit sessions page by going to Activity Feed

strong dock
#

ty derpy

edgy kindle
#

Np

strong dock
#

lol ust realized only 2 timer commands are working too RIP haha

edgy kindle
#

@strong dock Can you screenshot your timer page for me?

#

You might have the chatlines set too high for the other timers to activate @strong dock

strong dock
#

ya prob

#

give me a sec

#

will have to on gaming pc

edgy kindle
#

If you'd like just wait until you're done streaming

strong dock
edgy kindle
#

Yeah so your first two are activating but the others arent right?

strong dock
#

yep

edgy kindle
#

Yeah you just dont have enough chat activity to hit the other ones

strong dock
#

does it stair step after each event in order?

#

or it has to meet all the requirments and resets once one of them are hit

edgy kindle
#

Once the requirements are met it sends the timer however if the requirements are not met again after the time has elapsed it wont show

#

So i believe like

#

Chat activity hits 50 lines; It starts the timers for anything below 50 lines and after the elapsed time the message is sent

#

and then it resets

solar salmon
#

I'm having tons of trouble getting things setup and ported to be able to use Streamelements exclusively (as opposed to nightbot + streamlabs)

#

I may just be dumb and been looking at it too long to figure everything out

edgy kindle
#

Well let us know what issues you're running into :D

solar salmon
#

but its buggy as all heck

stuck hamlet
#

What browser are you using?

solar salmon
#

chrome

stuck hamlet
#

what is "buggy"

#

what step.

solar salmon
#

the bit donations

edgy kindle
#

Are you running into issues with commands? timers? overlays

solar salmon
#

I'm trying to build an overlay at the moment

#

been trying for several hours

stuck hamlet
#

Alright, and what seems to be the issue with the bit donations?

solar salmon
#

they just show up as 0

#

and another small suggestion - when you test...they should reset to what they were before.

#

because Bob Ross didnt give me 100 bits lol

stuck hamlet
#

Those are just test alerts.

#

They do in fact "reset"

solar salmon
#

yes but they stay on my overlay

tight harness
#

If you refresh that would disappear, it's just to demonstrate all aspects of the overlay

solar salmon
#

oh

#

:/

#

they have been here for a long time now

stuck hamlet
#

if they "stay" greyed out, its to show you where it would line up

solar salmon
#

oh ok sorry ive been wokring on this for hours so im getting frustrated a little and maybe not thinking logically

stuck hamlet
solar salmon
#

is there anywhere I can set bits (like i can set recent donation or top donation)

#

to be a specific amount/person

stuck hamlet
#

No

solar salmon
#

ah ok

#

I imported my alertbox from Streamlabs

#

but it's in a separate overlay

#

is there a way to integrate it in the same overlay?

stuck hamlet
#

Unfortunately not, you'd have to build off the StreamLabs import, or use that overlay just for alerts

#

we are working for integrations/alert boxes on there own

solar salmon
#

and the double audio I'm getting when I test is because the SE editor is open at the same time as OBS and not because it's going to go double, right?

edgy kindle
#

@solar salmon Correct

solar salmon
#

ok good thank you - sorry for the dumb questions I'm trying to wrap my head around this change haha

edgy kindle
#

Make sure you set your browser sources to "disable when not in use" @solar salmon

stuck hamlet
#

You must not forget to check "Shutdown source when not active" on the BrowserSource of OBS

solar salmon
#

What difference does that make? Out of curiosity?

edgy kindle
#

When its left unchecked all your notifications will go through EACH scene

#

so you will experience multiple sounds

frosty zealot
#

and if you have a lot of elements in your overlays (animations/kappagen) then it's an extra draw on CPU usage

solar salmon
#

okay thanks

#

I messed up some things while moving things and now the alignment is wrong. Wish there was an undo!

#

But thank you guys

edgy kindle
#

Yeah so do we LUL you can use the arrow keys to make minor adjustments

lament blade
#

i would like to make a sub goal txt, but the its shows 15 subs, but i have 18 now

solar salmon
#

its not small things...it's now cutting off parts of my alerts in obs

stuck hamlet
#

Shift + Arrows to do more heavy adjusments

lament blade
#

how could i fix this fast?

stuck hamlet
#

Make sure you have the right resolution @solar salmon

#

Default is 1920x1080

#

So make sure your browser source is set to that, or to whatever you set it to

lament blade
#

? ;P

lament blade

#

I have also a weird kinda bug, all my alerts is with the setting ''bounce'', i dont like the bounce and set it to ''none'' but the effect always returns

#

so i have always bounce

#

could i fix this?

edgy kindle
#

@lament blade What browser?

lament blade
#

chrome

edgy kindle
#

@lament blade When was the last time you cleared your cache?

robust hull
#

hey all. I've been having issues with some of my alerts using the overlay editor. Seems like the alert sounds will play in the editor all the time, but through OBS only .ogg files work

edgy kindle
#

@robust hull Are you using Studio?

robust hull
#

yes

stuck hamlet
#

ruh

#

that's a new bug

#

can you send me the file?

robust hull
#

it's been driving me crazy

#

@stuck hamlet you're talking to @lament blade , right?

stuck hamlet
#

you

#

the file that isnt playing in obs

#

i want it pls

robust hull
#

its any mp3 file

stuck hamlet
#

yes, can you give it to me?

robust hull
#

sure

quasi portal
#

Which component do you need to add to your overlay manager to get Store-purchased Sound-effects to play ? The Alert Box doesn't seem to have it included + I don't see anything named like "Sound Effects" - there is one called "Store redemptions" or similar but I really only want the sound effects

edgy kindle
#

@quasi portal Store Redemption widget :D

quasi portal
#

Oh! That doesn't pop up text and stuff too?

edgy kindle
#

It does but iirc you can leave those blank

quasi portal
#

Ahhh very nice! Thanks @edgy kindle ๐Ÿ˜

weary mist
#

sound effects only play a sound, so you are good

@quasi portal if you want a Stream Perk to show up on stream, you can click the check box when editting/creating the item to have it show up. If you don't check that box, it won't pop an alert. Plus you can layer them so that the regular alert box is always on top if you want

Thanks @weary mist , will give it a shot ๐Ÿ‘

So there is an option to use your playlist as backup when you run out of song requests... why is it that it will only play my first song and that is it?

frosty zealot
#

do you have the video collapsed?

weary mist
#

@thick eagle need to have the video visible when the page loads, then you can hide the video. Its a weird thing with the youtube player

#

also o/ โค @thick eagle

thick eagle
#

What do you mean? Lol (extra blonde today) and Hey โค

frosty zealot
#

are you using ground control or the song request page in the dashboard?

thick eagle
#

Not sure what you mean.. but this is what my stuff looks like

frosty zealot
#

hit the ๐Ÿ‘ for show video

#

that'll let the playlist load.

thick eagle
#

Still doesn't ๐Ÿ˜•

#

Unless they just don't show in the list?

frosty zealot
#

queue list is separate from the backup playlist.

thick eagle
#

Ohhh duh

#

ok

#

Sorry

frosty zealot
#

queue is only populated by requests

thick eagle
#

So can I turn off video then and it will keep going?

#

Once the initial is done?

frosty zealot
#

it should

thick eagle
#

hehe ok

#

Seems to now, yes. Perfect! You guys rock! โค

I'll probably forget this come stream time... but that's besides the point :p

Is there eventually going to be a fix for that issue? So the video doesn't have to be shown for it to auto-play?

Hey folks, I am new to StreamElements, anyone has time to guide me?

I am sure someone does, ask your questions, and you should hear answers come back from the support canyon

pine hemlock
#

that too

crimson gull
#

@pine hemlock I don't want every feature, I am specifically looking for Twitter and Patreon alerts and on screen names

pine hemlock
#

The alert box widget on the overlay manager is used for follow/subs/bits/hosts. Don't think we currently have support for a twitter or patreon alert.

crimson gull
#

Dang it, I was told u have... Any plans to add?

weary mist
#

we have chat alerts for twitter

#

as for patreon, I believe its being looked at to get that

tidal swallow

is there a way i can set host alerts to only be for manual hosts and not auto hosts?

I have been using Ankhbot for my stream for over a year now and i have recently switched everything to Stream elements except the bot. Is there a way to track a viewer/followers Hours watched in stream? and is there a way to add custom ranks like a leveling/ranking up system like Ankhbot? Thanks

weary mist
#

the hours watched in stream is auto tracked, but at this time, there is no way to pull the hours stored from ankhbot into SE

#

as for a rank/level up system, that is not currently available, but been requested quite a bit. I will push for it as soon as we get moderator dashboard and youtube integration done ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

bright junco
#

Awesome! Good to know!

#

Is there also a way to import points etc from AnkhBot?

weary mist
#

by me pushing for it, I will badger the hell out of the devs till they can't stand me anymore

bright junco
#

haha

weary mist
#

Yes, very much so. If you can get a CSV exported, and set it up like so: username,points

#

I will grab the link that you can use to import it

bright junco
#

Nice! Thank you! You have been very helpful ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

weary mist
#

you can put your JWT token into that site and have it import directly as well

#

(user profile)

bright junco
#

Oh ok

Thank you very much! I will have a tinker with this!

let me know if you have questions. I might not answer for the next 30 ish minutes, though someone else with a blue shirt on will

Hi all. Brand new to using Stream Elements. I plan to take my time learning about all the options available. However, I would like to have the loyalty (!points) system going right away. What is the minimum I need to do to make sure that is active during streams? Thanks for your time.

edgy kindle
#

@DaxRated#8159 You simply need to enable it.

#

In your Dashboard head over to the Loyalty Settings and click the toggle to make sure its on @DaxRated#8159

thorn oyster
#

Okay awesome! So activating the chatbot and overlays and everything can wait? I guess I need to at least click the join channel button for Stream Elements. Does the bot need to be a mod to track points? Apologies for the noobness. >.>

edgy kindle
#

You will need to enable the bot in your chat so the chat can use commands

#

Not to track points. It will track even if you part the bot because they're seperate features however We advise you to mod the bot so it does not get banned/timed out

thorn oyster
#

Awesome. Thanks so much for the help!

No problem

Question - is there any way to have different alerts play for each item type? (different sound/gif? for each item in my stream store)?

edgy kindle

@weary mist ^

dry wagon
#

Anyone know how to turn of donations

#

off*

edgy kindle
#

@dry wagon You can simply remove the email

dry wagon
#

hoew

#

how*

weary mist
#

@solar salmon yes, set items with different sound and images, put store redemption widget on overlay. Profit

dry wagon
#

@edgy kindle

weary mist
#

you can't remove the email once it is in, but you can turn off the !tip command

edgy kindle
#

Oh you cant?

weary mist
#

@dry wagon can I ask the reason you don't want a tip page?

solar salmon
#

@weary mist so if I have these set up, they will make the right one for each redemption?

dry wagon
#

I use streamlabs because I am not a fan of stream elements tip page

weary mist
#

@solar salmon for sure, try them out yourself ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

solar salmon
#

Do I have to disable the "default" one in the widget itself?

weary mist
#

@dry wagon what don't you like about it?

dry wagon
#

Because I just use stream elements for currency. I am just used to streamlabs

weary mist
#

I can understand that. Did you know if you use SE, the bot will reward people with loyalty points automatically with a tip?

#

so people could "buy" loyalty points

solar salmon
#

IT WORKED! THANKS @weary mist ๐Ÿ˜„

dry wagon
#

Ok, I just need to know how to turn them off. I have nothing against stream elements and I really enjoy it but I have been streaming a while with streamlabs

#

I don't want to sound offensive

weary mist
#

@dry wagon and all I am doing ot gathering information so we can improve our service. I can understand using SL because you have for a long time, but sometimes trying out new things can actually be better for your stream, which is what we are shooting for. We provide several things to make tipping easier on the viewer, and to increase your income from tips. We are a young company, if we don't ask these questions, how are we going to learn? plus, it is super easy to port everything from SL, so setup is barely minutes in lenth

#

Plus, I have already given you all the info you have asked for that we can give you

dry wagon
#

But how do I get rid of the email it will not let me save w/o an email

edgy kindle
#

@dry wagon You could just simply leave it and not advertise the tipping page

weary mist

Trying to change the item redemptions animation and it's not saving the gif I put to replace it from the cloud. Thoughts?

weary mist
#

Are you using Chrome?

magic imp
#

Firefox. I've not had any trouble with any of the other notifications except this one. It even changed the sounds for it, but not the gif.

When someone subscribes or hosts the channel I do not see them given loyalty points, even though it is setup to give loyalty points for such actions.

@magic imp Could you try with Chrome? We are built to work better on that browser.

#

@mortal pollen for subs, please try logging out and back into StreamElements. for hosts, i believe we reported that bug not too long ago, and are looking into a fix

Sigh... I try to avoid google stuff wherever possible. Firefox at least tries to protect my metadata.

@edgy kindle Is there a way to import images from other theme overlays into an active editor?

edgy kindle
#

@drifting blade Sadly not; You would have to save the images and then upload them to the new one

drifting blade
#

got it

#

So I cannot download the images from a theme?

#

what about an undo option?

edgy kindle
#

No undo sadly

#

@drifting blade Like I said; right-click, save, and then reupload the images you want

drifting blade
#

@edgy kindle is there a way to share a streamelement page with another person for example one of my artists so they are able to hop onto my account and upload/mess around with overlays?

#

do I give them my auth token?

pine hemlock
#

Giving access to other users is being worked on.

#

For now, if you really want someone to manage your account you'd have to trust them with your twitch password, which we don't recommend but.. at your own risk

weary mist

Exactly what cuda says. They could always mess around with their own page and then send you the final pieces

Love me some Ground Control, however, Ive noticed that if you set bindings to skip/pause/start in GC's settings, those buttons no longer work anywhere else!

(i.e. I set the F8 key to one of those, and now in a game, the F8 key does not work. Once unbound in GC, it works in game again.)

whole vector
#

I have a question! ๐Ÿ˜„ Is it possible to make sound effects just for subscriptors? Or have ranks?

frosty zealot
#

does F8 have an in-game action @smoky tide ?

smoky tide
#

yes, in ATS, it switches a screen to look at more info

tight harness
#

@whole vector Not currently although I believe it has been requested, check here: https://strms.net/features if it isn't requested then consider requesting it yourself ๐Ÿ˜ƒ if it is requested then simply upvote it

whole vector
#

Thanks a lot Legendary!!

tight harness
#

No problem seanLove

frosty zealot
#

@smoky tide the game might not be seeing the input after the rebind. can you check in-game keybinds? Also can I ask why you want to use a key that has an in-game function as a hotkey for music control?

pine hemlock
#

Hes right though

#

it doesnt work

#

I just tested it

smoky tide
#

of course I could change it in game I guess, but F8 on my keyboard is also "Play/Pause" for media. I was hoping for more of a GC bind that still passes the keypress through but still triggers the func within the GC app.

pine hemlock
#

I'll add it to the bug reports

smoky tide
#

rock on! thanks @pine hemlock

frosty zealot
#

as a workaround, would something like fn+F8 work as a keybind, or some other modifier key? that shouldn't affect standard game keybinds.

pine hemlock
#

probably as a work around for now yeah, might work

misty crypt
#

Anyway I can put default commands into custom commands? I.E. have "!addpoints ${user1} 50 !addpoints ${user2} -50" in a command

#

Sub count is still buggy. Is there a way to implement it for good? I wan't to show my current subscriber count and it only shows the recent. Like from stream to stream

#

I can use other apps, but i don't want to run multiple apps. Only Streamelements.

frosty zealot
#

https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session if you change the subscriber count to your current total and don't reset the session then it should stay accurate. This won't track any unsubs though. The counter only goes up. I think it will catch resubs though which might be your issue

proud pumice
#

@hazy thistle we'll be working to get a selector where you can choose to show the current number of subs or just new ones or just resubs, hang tight alrighty?

wispy aurora
#

This is probably a very silly question but... I don't hear my follower notifications go off on stream, they seem fine when I hit emulate but I never hear them. Is there a good way for me to know in real time when someone follows etc so I can respond?

frosty zealot
#

do you have your audio turned up for OBS?

wispy aurora
#

in the mixer, good question, it's updating to 20.x lemme see!

#

yes

frosty zealot
#

and you can hear any other sounds from your PC? (sorry, don't know your set up)

wispy aurora
#

Yep, I hear game audio, music, etc just fine. I will SEE the follower notifications on stream if i look at it, but I never hear the audio queue

#

I'm sort of savvy... but feeling kind of dense not being able to figure this one out lol

frosty zealot
wispy aurora
#

50%, maybe i'll crank it up it could be that I'm just not hearing it over game audio because its fainter htan I think

frosty zealot
#

while you're in the browser, test the alert and see if you can hear it in browser using the event emulator at the bottom.

wispy aurora
#

Yep, loud and clear

frosty zealot
#

alright, right click the tab and mute that tab, then open OBS and see if you can hear it still when you emulate.

wispy aurora
#

odd muted tab still playing sound

#

hah

frosty zealot
#

muted tab is playing sound? or obs is playing it

wispy aurora
#

but not without obs on, okay im not sure wahts going on

#

its fixed I think.. you the real MVP

#

yeah obs was playing sound

frosty zealot
#

ok, so the OBS source is playing it, not the tab.

#

you may just be drowning it out with game audio. which means also that your viewers aren't hearing the alerts most likely.

wispy aurora
#

yep I think that nails it, i'll take the volume to 100% and maybe download a longer sound to play than the standard coin collect chirp

anyone here who's rom the SE team?

#

Or anyone who can help... cause I'm trying to choose a font for my overlay..

#

but most of the fonts are the god damn same.

serene granite
#

@clever leaf can you make sure you're using chrome, and also press ctrl+F5 on the overlay editor page

#

We just deployed a fix to the font selector

clever leaf
#

so exit out of the creator?

serene granite
#

no, just ctrl+F5 on the keyboard

clever leaf
#

yeah didn't change anything.

serene granite
#

are you selecting the font, or just scrolling the list?

clever leaf
#

selecting it.

serene granite
#

which one?

clever leaf
#

Cabin Condensed to be specific.

#

It changes in the editor, but it doesn't in OBS.

#

it remains 'roboto' ish.

serene granite
#

let me see

clever leaf
#

ok

silk gulch
#

I am currently on the overlay editor when i try and change some of the text but it doesnt change. Also is there a way to download the background image so i can make my panels under my stream to match my stream overlays?

serene granite
#

@clever leaf it looks good on my OBS as far as I can see

#

try editing the browser source on obs and hitting the refresh cache button

weary mist
#

@silk gulch make sure when you go to edit text, you click off the last widget onto a blank area of your editor, and then click the new text widget. It is a known issue

silk gulch
#

The text jumped to this even though i choose completely different text. I can only use orbitron font every other font appears like the image i gave

neon ore
#

Just a random question do thhe overlay from the dashboard cause stream to lag?? because ever since I did on my stream it makes it look like I am dropping frames

weary mist
#

It depends on what you have in your overlay, and how beefy your processor is

#

If you load it up with an animated theme with kappagen, you better have a decent CPU as it will require a lot of processing power

#

@neon ore

neon ore
#

Hmmm Okay Its I took the black and green overlay as all

clever leaf
#

@serene granite doesn't seem to change anything for me, not even making a new browser source.

serene granite
#

very peculiar

clever leaf
#

quite so

serene granite
#

are you using OBS studio , latest version ?

frosty zealot
#

did you save the overlay?

clever leaf
#

yep

#

and yep

frosty zealot
#

you need to do that to have it change in OBS

clever leaf
#

Even if I "Launch overlay" it does the same.

#

the fonts are the same, regadless of having changed the actual fonts.

weary mist
#

which browser?

clever leaf
#

The one in the lower left.

pine hemlock
weary mist
#

Kappa chrome, firefox, edge

clever leaf
#

Oh.. ๐Ÿ˜›

#

chrome

weary mist
#

Weird @clever leaf I just went in and changed my font in a text box and it launched fine

#

@pine hemlock he is using a supported font

#

can you try out a new overlay? Create a test one, do two text boxes, one roboto, and one the one you want, save and launch?

clever leaf
#

Yeah gonna try and fiddle with it a bit.

#

seems to be really weird for me.

#

Fonts seem to just not want to update no matter what I do really... it doesn't matter if I'm on one overlay or the other.

pine hemlock
#

Is this what you're trying to do?

#

and its just not doing anything?

clever leaf
#

it's doing it in the editor.

#

but not in obs.

#

but yes.. that is essentially it

serene granite
#

fonts are loaded from google, there could be something blocking it

pine hemlock
#

Yeah its not changing in obs @serene granite

#

I just tested it

#

thats after saving

#

too

#

Did shift+f5 too

#

wait

#

I got it

#

Remove the css default stuff from the browser source

#

@clever leaf

serene granite
#

and do refresh cache on the browser source on obs, its in the bottom

silent veldt
#

After I import my alert box from streamlabs How do I integrate it into a new overlay?

pine hemlock
#

Idk. it started updating once the css default coding was removing for me

#

@silent veldt it creates an overlay under My Overlays that says Streamlabs imported alertbox, you can add onto that overlay

silent veldt
#

So I cant import that into an already made overlay?

pine hemlock
#

I dont think you can import from one overlay to another currently. You could run them as seperate browser sources in obs, one being an alertbox only browser source.

silent veldt
#

Like I'm trying to import it into one of the super themes

#

I gotcha

#

Thank you!!!

pine hemlock
#

np

#

@serene granite nah you're right about the refreshing of the cache

#

Even just opening the browser source properties and hitting "ok" would probably reload it and update the font

hollow zinc
#

We can probably do something on save as well

clever leaf
#

So.. I gotta remove the cssdefault then ctrl+f5?

pine hemlock
#

Nah. you just need to open the browser source and hit the refresh button at the bottom and hit ok

#

and the font should update

clever leaf
#

aahh yeah I see

#

got it finally.

pine hemlock
#

Or just hit "ok" and it forces a reload

clever leaf
#

that was way more troublesome than it should have been ๐Ÿ˜›

pine hemlock
#

its all good

#

lol

clever leaf
#

Thanks guys โค

Hello, I am having trouble getting "Current Song" to work on my overlay. I am using the Original LOL super theme, and I have watched the tutorial several times. I am using the Stream Elements song request service, and that is selected in the theme. However even though the song request is open and playing it will not show up on the overlay.

clever mango
#

If it's playing from the backup playlist, the songs do not currently show up because of an API limit set by youtube

sick raft
#

Oh I see

#

that makes sense any workarounds?

clever mango
#

We're working to have this limit increased so that we can display the songs. For now there is no workaround to get the backup playlist songs to show

#

I take that back

#

The workaround would be to add the songs in backup playlist to your request queue

#

Then the songs will show

sick raft
#

I will do that for the time being ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Thank you!

minor tide
#

hello, I'd like to know if there is some kind of documentation available to interact with songrequest feature? For example, SE gives commands to pause/resume music, but what if I want to add moderator commands to enable or disable it completly?

clever mango
#

Sorry, there are no chat commands to enable/disable song request at this time. It would have to be done from the dashboard or ground control app

minor tide
#

ok, thx for the reply

clever mango
#

You're welcome ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

silent veldt
#

hmm any reason my recent subscriber and follower doesn't show up when I added the new widget?

#

I'm new to Stream Elements too, so would it just not show up because it's a new session?

weary mist
#

yes. you can edit it at Activity Feed -> Edit Session

silent veldt
#

thanks so much

clever mango
#

The name of your most recent subscriber/follower?

silent veldt
#

that's correct

#

So I have to manually insert it then?

clever mango
#

I think edit session will fix your count but not the usernames

serene granite
#

we only know of events that happened after you signed up to our system

silent veldt
#

right that's what I thought, because integrating streamlabs only shows tips. Ok thank you!!!

clever mango
#

Scalper is right though about editing session for follow/subscriber/tip counts

serene granite
#

you want to use the edit session page to make sure all the current counts are setup correctly

#

and from this point on they will increase accordingly

silent veldt
#

So I bascially insert my current count?

clever mango
#

Welcome by the way @silent veldt FeelsGoodMan

#

Correct

silent veldt
#

haha thanks @clever mango really looking forward to using this from now on. Loving it so far ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

appreciate the help

I play heroes as well

silent veldt
#

yeah! I love it so far. Being able to customize it is great

pallid torrent
#

Okay, so I'm looking at the superthemes, and trying to figure out customizations.

#

I'm looking at the brb one right now, and it has Youtube and all of that on the right -- trying to figure out where to put links -- or if I'm just supposed to change 'YOUTUBE' to my channel address.

frosty zealot
#

change it to your channel address, there's no way to have a link on the overlay that the viewer can click.

pallid torrent
#

Okay, that works. Thanks.

weary mist
#

I put my usernames for the different platforms I have

clever leaf
#

question.

#

Is it possible to stop the boxes and such from snapping to position?

#

it's really starting to do my head in...

#

holding control or shift does nothin.

frosty zealot
#

if it snaps to a position you don't want it you can move it more granularly by using your arrow keys. Or type in x/y values for positioning.

clever leaf
#

Oh, arrowkeys work?

#

... wonder why I didn't think of trying that..

silent veldt
#

Is there a spot for audio commands? Does the bot control that?

frosty zealot
#

Audio commands happen through the stream store.

silent veldt
#

oh drag

rancid rivet
#

I am having an issue on my end

#

I can't get my entire overlay to show on OBS

clever mango
#

custom overlay or super theme?

rancid rivet
#

it's the music theme one, TerraBuck

frosty zealot
#

right click the source, then properties. make sure it is set to 1920x1080

rancid rivet
#

oh okay, I had the dimensions set WAY low, then

clever mango
#

SE overlay must match your browser source dimensions

#

Better now?

rancid rivet
#

I will test it when I get home, and inform you, I am about to take off in a matter of minutes. My son has a piano lesson.

clever mango
#

Ok, we'll be here

nimble bear
#

I signed up through gamevil. Had streaming yesterday. During the stream I had more than 200 points. When I'm checking my account I see zero points. Please advise

serene granite
#

the "my points" page on the site isn't working

#

go to HIS channel on our site when you're logged in to your user and look on the left pane

#

or use the bot command for points, which is default !points but some streamers change that

#

also, do you live on mount tavor ??

atomic hollow
#

or just like the rifle

rancid rivet
#

can I get some assistance on customization, maybe on voice chat

frosty zealot
#

I can't get on voice chat, any way to help via text?

rancid rivet
#

yeah. I can sit here and flip back and forth between Discord and my Browser

frosty zealot
#

or... it looks like @clever mango is in a channel for you @rancid rivet

nimble bear
#

@serene granite where do I find HIS channel??

silent veldt
#

Is there a way to select a group of items in an overlay and move them all together instead of one at a time?

frosty zealot
#

from what I see, unfortunately no, the easiest way to maintain proportion to each other is to make note of each element's coordinates (noted as Top and Left in the Position, size and style submenu) and do a little number crunching to maintain the spacing and positioning they started with.

nimble bear
#

@serene granite never mind. Found it. Tavor is the gun on the picture

atomic hollow
#

yes, we know, we created that gun ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

serene granite
#

I never got to fire one :'(

patent wraith
#

Hi, can someone help me with points problems?

frosty zealot
#

what issue are you having?

patent wraith
#

I don't have access to the streamer dashboard i'm "managing" for tech stuff, so i don't know if there are ignored or not, but i got 2 peoples who said they dont get any points, maybe everone, i don't know. I don't know if there is something wrong about the bot or anything

#

Can i access dashboard while mod?

#

To check if something is wrong

atomic hollow
#

no

#

but who is the streamer?

#

ill look

patent wraith
#

ailincia

atomic hollow
#

seems to be working fine, 10 points per 10 minutes

patent wraith
#

I know, but i don't know if we get the points, or at least 2 peoples

#

Can i give you the name of the peoples?

atomic hollow
#

sure

patent wraith
#

xZiira and Rawb_Dawg

#

They got 10 points right now

#

Dunno if you fixed something

frail nebula
#

Hey i have points set up to hosts receiving 50 when they host however they dont seem to add? is there a delay? as someone followed me and instantly received their points

atomic hollow
#

@patent wraith didnt do anything

#

@frail nebula streaming from a console?

frail nebula
#

nope pc

patent wraith
#

@atomic hollow I don't know what happened, but looks like they got 10 points just now. It's been 2 days they had 0 points tho, don't understand, but thank you ahah

atomic hollow

yay, and yer it is thanks

oh damn just clicked that link have I really had that many d's

lament blade
#

Will StreamElements include the possibility to customize the bot's name sometime in the future? Perhaps as part of a paid premium status like Moobot?

clever mango
#

It could be a future feature but we have no details in regards to how it would work

lament blade
#

Fair enough, thank you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

Hello Staff! I might have found a big.. or im doing something wrong. please help

frosty zealot
#

what's going on?

lament blade
#

PM? or here?

frosty zealot
#

here should be fine

lament blade
#

the sub sound on my edit isnt triggering when tested.

#

but if i change that same sound to my follower sound. it works.

frosty zealot
#

it is working for me on both subscribe and follow alerts.

#

can you try submitting the sound into the sub alert once more?

lofty forge
#

Got a question, how do i refresh the widgets from a session?

tight harness
#

@lofty forge You mean reset them? To refresh them just close the browser source on your OBS and reopen it with 'shutdown when not active' ticked, to reset them you can do that here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session

lofty forge
#

Yes i mean reset

lament blade
#

@frosty zealot the sound doesnt work with my sub test... but does work for follower test... do i need to resubmit it?

frosty zealot
#

go to your subscriber alert options and hit the change sound button again.

#

and resubmit the sound you want.

noble smelt
#

how do i turn off stream elements bot from saying thank you for following etc

#

have some trolls spamming a few bad accounts i dont want popping in chat

#

nvm found it

lament blade
#

went to subscriber alerts. changed sound. still doesnt work.

#

I tested the same sound again on the follower alert, alort works.

#

is there a setting that im missing?

frosty zealot
#

did you set sounds for the variations?

#

by default, the variations don't have sounds attached to them, so anything more than 1 month may not play a sound.

#

@lament blade ^

lament blade
#

@frosty zealot variations fixed it. test had sound.

#

thank you

#

Why exactly do things need these variations? i see that tips have the same thing.

frosty zealot
#

you can set thresholds for different reactions based on the variations.

#

so if you want to have a special animation or sound for 12+ month subs vs brand new subs you can.

#

tips are the same way, as are cheers.

#

you can also set variations based on the type of sub as of today's update (tier 1, 2 or 3)

weary mist
#

you could always set the variations, you can now test them

frosty zealot
#

or that*

lament blade
#

thanks for your help

frosty zealot
#

no problem, happy to help lupoYE

lament blade
#

so i have a sub goal but its now at 0 subs and thats not correct, yesterdag support said i need to reset session but it still dont work

#

what should i do now ๐Ÿ˜ญ

edgy kindle
#

@lament blade You need to edit the session not reset it

lament blade
#

oh shit lets try

frosty zealot
#

save button is at the very bottom of the page

edgy kindle
#

@lament blade Look for the correct option that says Goal+Subscriber in it and edit it then hit save

#

should update your goal correctly

Hi! I have some annoying problem with SE overlay alerts. I am using OBS studio. My problem is, that if somebody for example follow my stream, then the music will be played two times. I don't know why. It does not matter what is the event. Everything was fine, till I just not changed something in the overlay (not that widget). Maybe this is an OBS error, idk. I will try to send you an example video. In the example video, my SE overlay aler widget was not even turned on. Or is this an Chrome problem?

#

OBS restarted, Chrome restarted, PC restarted. nothing heleped.

#

Any idea maybe? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

edgy kindle
#

@brisk flint This seems like you may have 2 scenes in obs and forgot to enable "shutdown when source not in use"

brisk flint
#

A!

#

Ok ๐Ÿ˜ƒ mabye

#

Yes, I have multiple scenes.

#

Not helped ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

And now, to load the browser in OBS takes 1-2 secs.

#

I had this many times. And somehow it dissapears. But if I change the overlay in SE, it comes back.

#

I cleared the OBS cache...seems to work

edgy kindle
#

Well the only thing it could be is 1. You didnt enable "shutdown source when not in use" 2. You have the overlay editor open while streaming 3. you have your stream open while obs is open

brisk flint
#
  1. was the case...
#
  1. I turned the sound off
#
  1. Only alerts were problematic.
#

Interesting! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ However, thank you for the help!

azure cypress
#

Ok, similarly I'm having an issue with alerts since switching from Muxy and StreamLabels... I've set up new sounds and what-not in StreamElements, but the old sounds still play and I'm not sure why... in addition to the new ones. It's spam-tastically cancerous to listen to :/ - I've deleted all my old scene collections, scenes, and sources from OBS and set up new ones using my StreamElements browser source links, but the problem persists. I'd love a suggestion if one's available โค

frosty zealot
#

did you import the old ones?

azure cypress
#

I did, but I've deleted the import from my overlays library

frosty zealot
#

is there a secondary alertbox floating around from that somewhere? and you've checked every scene for your old browser sources?

noble smelt
#

is there a way to completely delete a troll follow?

#

on stream element?

stuck hamlet
#

What is a troll follow?

noble smelt
#

i don't want their follow on screen

#

delete its still there

#

well ban

#

makes a bad named account

#

stuck on recent follower

stuck hamlet
#

Ah

#

Use the overlay, and widget called "Current Song"

#

We do not support WMP. We are a cloud based system that pulls information the internet provides, WMP, is not a tool we can read.

#

quick question/concern re Twitch username changes, if someone has a moment; not urgent

stuck hamlet
#

sup?

native cedar
#

what all do I have to do on the SE side of things when I change my twitch username?

stuck hamlet
#

We do not support files.

#

@native cedar log out, and log back in after the name change

native cedar
#

@lament blade if your music player can communicate with an API you can write an app and host it on a cheap cloud server, have the music player update your web app and have SE poll your web app

#

the command would be something like
${customapi.your.domain/webapp}

#

the bot will dump whatever it gets back into the chat

#

thanks @stuck hamlet that's simple enough... the bot will automatically move to the new channel?

#

@lament blade I'm actually glad I walked in on you asking that, because I hadn't even thought of trying that and now I'm probably gonna

stuck hamlet
#

for less "buggy" situations, you should part the bot before doing the name change

#

a simple part/join after the log out/log in, should be fine

native cedar
#

thanks for the top @stuck hamlet

#

@stuck hamlet are you SE staff?

#

nevermind, I see the staff list

stuck hamlet
#

i am, technically

#

just a support member

#

not an in-office worker

weary mist
#

Yeah. Hidden staff Kappa

native cedar
#

do you know if SE ever partners or works with developers of other services? I have a few things I'm wanting to do that I'd much rather integrate with SE than compete with you guys

#

especially since you were cool about hi5F

stuck hamlet
#

yes, we like to develop with other people. Id like to point you towards perry or Shadow about potentially working with us on something, Styler would be the tech side of things.

#

we don't have a .txt file @jagged ridge

#

as i mentioned before, we are a cloud based platform

native cedar
#

well, I'll build out my stuff for personal use first and approach one of them when I have something to demonstrate

#

thanks for the help

stuck hamlet
#

anxious to see what you make ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

native cedar
#

@jagged ridge you would need to get that text file onto a server, then point the ${customapi} command variable at the file

#

assuming the file contains ONLY the text you want displayed, that should work

#

that's as close to textfile support as your going to get unless you run a bot locally, which isn't what SE is

weary mist
#

@native cedar the entire site runs on an API, which will be updated soon. You could build integrations that way as well. Check out #dev-chat for more info

#

@olive lintel, you around for some support?

sleek geyser
#

why is StreamElements so slow in picking up new followers? I've been wanting to use StreamElements for KappaGen mostly, but the StreamElements follower notification just comes in 4 minutes later than the other service I'm using

edgy kindle
#

@sleek geyser Sounds like a twitch api issue

sleek geyser
#

why does it work faster for the other service I'm using?

stuck hamlet
#

KappaGen and Follower Alert are linked, they should trigger at the same time.

native cedar
#

@weary mist awesome! I'm assuming the API would give me access to variables, command counts, and whatnot above and beyong whatever the ${customapi} command passes?

stuck hamlet
#

oh, you're using other services for follow alerts?

sleek geyser
#

I've been checking if it would be possible, yes

#

but obviously not with Streamelements being 4 minutes slower ๐Ÿ˜„
