yes, are you able to upload it. you should have the option.

In OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File. Once this is complete, please provide the link to the log file.

rugged quail
#

there u go

#

thanks for all the help btw

plain sonnet
#

np 👍

#

there isnt much in there apart from the mp4 and gaming DVR

rugged quail
#

mhmm

#

like the thing is i have a 2pc setup

#

and i have this for encoding but

#

i have it on faster 6000 at 900p and on other peoples streams it looks better than mine at almost the same everything and a worse encoder so i dont know why mine looks worse

plain sonnet
#

its best to try and eliminate the errors above (links are provided to help). there might be some in game settings like vsync you could look at to try and decrease the load on your encoder

rugged quail
#

alright ill try these out

rugged quail
#

so i fixed all the critical warning and stuff and everything still looks the same

narrow hinge
#

Is anyone else having trouble with the Streamelements host alerts not going off unless it is a raid?

ancient robin
#

Ok I just installed streamelements and tried adding a new overlay from the themes but they always appear way to big and I can't figure out which setting I have wrong

odd kraken
#

Try to add them with the dimensions 1920x1080 to OBS.

ancient robin
#

Ok I'll give it a go and I'll let you know the outcome

red ember
#

how do i get the media request thing in obs?

odd kraken
red ember
#

Yeah but i need the link like when you first open media request

odd kraken
rugged quail
#

can someone help me in voice support?

odd kraken
#

I don't have the ability to do voice support right now. What is the issue?

rugged quail
#

well i think since 8 ive been trying to figure out why my x264 looks so blurry on 900p

#

i have a bitrate of 6000 and im on the faster preset but the video comes out bad

deep birchBOT
#

@rugged quail Can you please provide a log from your last stream. In OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File. Once this is complete, please provide the link to the log file.

rugged quail
odd kraken
#

There is no output session in this log file. Please provide a log file with an output session.

rugged quail
#

my bad clicked the current one

odd kraken
#

A slower x264 preset than 'veryfast' is in use. It is recommended to leave this value on veryfast, as there are significant diminishing returns to setting it lower. It can also result in very poor gaming performance on the system if you're not using a 2 PC setup.

rugged quail
#

i am using a 2 pc setup

#

thats why i have it slower

deep birchBOT
rugged quail
#

ooo oki

#

thnx

jovial shore

what is this about?

jovial shore

every time i start a stream it starts off pretty well and then like one minute later i am starting to experience fps drops in my stream

deep birchBOT
#

@jovial shore Can you please provide a log from your last stream. In OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File. Once this is complete, please provide the link to the log file.

jovial shore
odd kraken
jovial shore

and here the fps drops come

#

it didnt work

#

i disabled those and it didnt help

odd kraken

can you please provide the log file here?

jovial shore
#

didnt i

odd kraken
#

The one of the new stream you made after disabling the gaming features.

jovial shore
#

here you go

odd kraken
#

The log tells me the windows10 gaming features are still active.

jovial shore
#

what how?

#

can i send photos here?

odd kraken
#

what photo do you want to send here. a screenshot would be better I think.

jovial shore
#

yeah a screenshot

#

can i?

odd kraken
#

yes.

odd kraken
#
  1. Restart OBS.
  2. Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
  3. Stop your stream/recording.
  4. Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link please.
jovial shore
plain sonnet
#

also turn off PVT in encoder settings

#

The bitrate is so low, you couldn't even stream a still picture.

livid niche
#

:/

odd kraken
#

what is the issue @livid niche ?

livid niche
#

I've never heard of a quality that low, definitely a reason to adjust the bitrate manually

#

Has the panel for updating your stream information been removed with the latest update? I no longer have it nor is it in the StreamElements drop down in OBS Studio. It’s not in the Dock selection either.

odd kraken
#
  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version ( 19.3.8.375 )
  2. exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
  3. delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
  4. start OBS.Live
  5. Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect
proper bluff
#

@odd kraken is that path for the appdata the same for Windows 7? I’ve tried following that path but can’t get to it. Yes, I’m still on Win 7. Lol

odd kraken
#

It is in the installation folder wher eyou installed your OBS program.

proper bluff
#

I’ve looked there. Lol

#

@proper bluff Press your windows key and "R" at the same time. A little box should appear

rugged quail
#

Speaking of OBS guys, I have a quick question . Wondering if anyone else has ever had the problem. While i'm streaming, if I switch games or have something pop up on my main gaming monitor while im mid stream, My OBS screen capture just goes black. I've got a 3 monitor set up and when I go into the screen capture settings and switch monitors they all have a picture but my main. I have to shut OBS down and restart it to get my picture back. Any thoughts?

There is no chat and activity feed for me 😦

Do you have the StreamElements menu at the top?

rugged quail
#

yes

tulip hamlet
#

Click it. Do you see options for Chat and Activity feed?

#

nope

Log out and back in with that menu.

I am making the switch from SLOBS to StreamElements. All of my overlays are setup and working in OBS.Live. My alerts, however, re not seen in OBS.Live. In fact, I loaded some of the Super Themes (Apex), and the alerts do not show in OBS.Live. What am I missing?

odd kraken
rugged quail
#

for some reason my x264 at 720p, 6000 bitrate, fast, 60fps (ryzen 5 2nd gen) looks worse than my NEW NVENC at 720p, 6000 bitrate, max quality 60fps (gt 730) like isnt that supposed to be the other way around, pls help

That was it! Thank you, @odd kraken!

limber smelt
#

Anyone know how to get help with stream blur

deep birchBOT
#

@limber smelt Can you please provide a log from your last stream. In OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File. Once this is complete, please provide the link to the log file.

limber smelt
#

Do i paste that here

odd kraken
limber smelt
#

Okay i just did that

#

Was that the problem

#

I have a pretty expensive computer. I stream on facebook which only allows 4000 bitrate. My upload speed is 15-20 depending on the time. I use my i9 to encode the stream.

odd kraken
#

I am not sure if 4 Mbit is enogh to transport a 1080p60fps picture.

limber smelt
#

Other live streamers do it and theirs works great..

odd kraken
#

The only other thing besides the bitrate and the Gaming features is this:
Having the YUV Color range set to "Full" will cause playback issues in certain browsers and on various video platforms. Shadows, highlights and color will look off. In OBS, go to "Settings -> Advanced" and set "YUV Color Range" back to "Partial".

#

Otherwise I would recommend you to join the OBS discord and ask there for more detailed support.

limber smelt
#

Okay i changed it to partial.

#

So the stream was working fine a few days ago. But when i added streamelements to my stream and use your overlays, it has started this issue

#

Before, i only had a basic overlay which was my camera and thats it

#

now that i added an animated overlay (3 of them) it has begun pixelating when moving a lot in fortnite

#

but when standing still and not doing much, it doesnt pixelate

odd kraken
#

An animated overlay is known to be heavy as well as a fast paced game like fortnite.

limber smelt
#

So will having 3 scenes make it heavy?

#

Should i get rid of one of the scenes?

odd kraken
#

You can try to set the overlay browser sources to "shutdown when not visible" so they are not loaded in the background.

limber smelt
#

Oh! let me try tha

#

How do i that

#

for the scene

odd kraken
#

In every broser source in the settings when you right click the source > properties there is a checkbox at the buttom which states something like "shutdown when not visible". Check that.

limber smelt
#

Okay.

#

Am i able to download these overlays so i dont have to use browser?

tulip hamlet
#

No. Downloading assets is against our Terms of Service.

limber smelt
#

Okay ill try to fix this.

fleet abyss
#

just as an update - i posted a while ago about having the new nvenc encoder overload using dual pc ndi. I got it working at 1080/60, 1440/60 still overloads very infrequently when it's a really busy scene (5-12 frames over a 3 min benchmark).
On the remote w10 pc with the turing card, nvidia control panel, change power options to max performance.
To find it, i had afterburner opened up and ran the benchmark looking at clock speeds, when it overloaded, it spiked the clocks back to base clock (~1550) from the powersave 130-850mhz, i assume that it wasn't a fast enough response, but having a constant clock worked

daring shoal
#

I setup all my alerts as an overlay in the overlay manager and placed the overlay in OBS Live as a browser source. When I emulated events yesterday it worked. Today on stream, I had alert audio but no visual alerts. Seemed really weird because on the overlay manager it still shows all of the images. Any help?

remote glen
#

anyone else have issues with bit alerts freezing?

fierce atlas
#

I had lots of lag/freezing problems with animation in the overlay (kappagen, alerts, etc) when streaming on a laptop. Now that I have dedicated PC for streams I've not had any rendering problems

remote glen
#

I have an Ok pc but they are messing up real bad for me

steel mural
#

Yep animated overlays/kappagen need a lot power.

remote glen
#

but I have even removed the animations and they just wont work, rip

fierce atlas
#

if there are no animations, what is it that's not working for you?

#

alerts animate in/out 😃

remote glen
#

Hi @fierce atlas sorry for the late response, they just dont appear on the browser or over onto OBS, no alert no sound no nothing, its got me bamboozled

shy mountain
#

Is this only when you test alerts?

remote glen
#

Yes, I havent had a bit donation since setting bp the alert but it seems to only happen wioth bits

shy mountain
#

So for testing alerts, we have a new feature that allows testing on the overlay editor only or on both. Its a toggle located next to the bell icon.

remote glen
#

Yeah got that, its not showing on either though, it seems to freze, ill continue to play around with it when I get a chance

shy mountain
#

Why do you have 2 overlays with 2 separate alert boxes?

#

Why not have both alerts boxes in the same overlay?

remote glen
#

I have been trying to isolate the issue

shy mountain
#

This can cause overlap of alerts btw

remote glen
#

this was created after the issue to attempt to fix it

shy mountain
#

got it

#

so only cheer alert is kinda scuffed/laggy?

remote glen
#

yeah

shy mountain
#

so you don't see the alert in obs?

#

thats your overlay btw

remote glen
#

I do now

#

It wasnot working on my end

shy mountain
#

but didn't see it on the original alert box?

remote glen
#

I doint have that open at the moment

shy mountain
#

i'm trying to figure it out, because I saw 1 thing that might not show the bits alert on OBS on the original alert box you have.

covert nymph
#

hi i need help

shy mountain
#

@remote glen your cheer variation alert in the original alert widget doesn't have an image/video/gif set.

#

Only has sound

#

@covert nymph With what?

covert nymph
#

how do i show my feed and like the chat again in obs

shy mountain
#

Streamelements on top -> chat + activity feed

remote glen
#

Yeah I had removed that to see if that was the issue

covert nymph
#

ok thanks

shy mountain
#

@remote glen I reenabled your original cheer alert and to be honest I don't see a problem on my side on my obs

remote glen
#

Cheers (Pun intended) its seems to be coming up now, may just have been a network issue

shy mountain
#

remove the additional browser source with the stand alone cheer alert from your OBS

#

to not get double cheer alerts

remote glen
#

Will do, thanks

weary dawn
#

Hiya

For some reason i can figure out why my Alerts are no longer going through to OBS. They work in the Overlay editor. I have refreshed the Cache in OBS the rest of the Overlays appear fine just the alerts are not going through. igaSad
Please help.

Hello! I've got a problem with my overlays, when i copy my overlay link from streamelements in the browser section on OBS, it just doesnt work. It wont appear on screen. Is there a way to fix that?

odd kraken
restive hamlet
#

Ohmy, it worked, Thanks ❤

#

Oh wait nvm, it still doenst work ): it will just keep a blank screen and show my home screen

odd kraken
#

Does it work when you emulate the events in the overlay editor?

restive hamlet
#

In the brower it works, but when i copy te link in OBS it wont work

#

tried 5 overlays, all of em are doomed

odd kraken
#

Have you added the browser source with the right dimensions? 1920x1080?

restive hamlet
#

Yep

#

Well, it doesnt say Browser source, it just says Browser

odd kraken
#

Have you set the overlay as the first browser source in OBS?

#

yes, browser is the new name, it was called browser source in the past, sorry.

restive hamlet
#

And yeah, its at the top of sources

odd kraken
#

would you mind sending me an editor invite link via PN, so I can have a look.

restive hamlet
#

How do i do that 😅

@restive hamlet To invite managers to your dashboard, Click on your Channel Name at the top of the dashboard and scroll down to Settings.

The hype cup remains empty for idk how many days/weeks now. Why is my hype cup not prefilling and showing in obs the same as that on the streamelements layout? Any ideas guys? This is really frustrating.

shy mountain
#

@warm sigil ⤴

warm sigil
#

The prefill is based on "things that have happened since the last time this particular browser source saw the cup", so if the browser source is removed or deleted, this gets lost. We have a plan to change it.

#

As in, it's more to make it so that it shows what it had last time, but it's not a great recreation. We have a lot better tools now for storing widget states, and we have a plan to upgrade the cup to use those.

I am after a custom widget for my donation goal to match my streamelements overlay is it possible?

Started up Obs live and it asked me to update it, and i get this: Failed downloading software update package.

thick thistle
#

Obs.Live / Media request: if I click on "Show on Stream" (doens't matter if Video is on or off), I get echo. What am I doing wrong?

odd kraken
#

Somewhere a browser source is activated and playing the sund or the browser with the overlay is open and playing it.
Either set shutdown source when not visible to all your browser sources with a streamelemetns overlay or/and close or mute the browser.

thick thistle
#

Aha. Multiple Scenes with overlays... Default browser source size doesn't include "shutdown source when not visible". Resized them so I don't miss this ever again. thx. FIXED

Hi I am trying to switch over to obslive but my stream deck does not recognize that obs is launched can someone help me please

@surreal whale we had that error with an outdated OBS version. Make sure your base OBS is V23.1.0

surreal whale
#

It is

nova scaffold
#

ok. try to start the streamdeck software before starting OBS

surreal whale
#

Stream deck launches on startup. Obs has to be launched

#

So I am doing that even checked for update on stream deck but it’s up to date

nova scaffold
#

4.1.1 for Streamdeck software

surreal whale
#

Even uninstalled both and reinstalled

nova scaffold
#

obs 23.1.0 and OBS.live 19.3.24.375

#

those are the latest releases

surreal whale
#

Checking now

nova scaffold
#

just checked on my side, no issues with those versions. i would suggest asking Elgato/Corsair and the OBS project people at that stage

How do I get an overlay image to appear in full rather than 1/4? I press the plus sign and select "browser", then paste the clip boarded link from "stream elements" where I created my overlay. but once my overlay shows up, I only see 1/4 of it.

deep birchBOT
#

@tender shuttle To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

tender shuttle
#

I know how to add the browser source to my scene, I need help with seeing all of my overlay, not just 1 quarter of it.

odd kraken
#

Select the browser source and hit crtl + f

tender shuttle
#

that streches the red line boarder, but the overlay still only show 1/4. like it's cut off

odd kraken
#

what dimensions has the overlay when you created it and what dimensions do the browser source have in OBS?

tender shuttle
#

how do I find the first set of dimensions in stream elements?

odd kraken
#

When you are in the overlay browser select the small pencil next to the overlay name and at the bottom it says the resolution.

tender shuttle
#

resolution is at 1080p on stream elements. width:800 and height:600 in OBS for the Overlay properties.

Read the add command the StreamElements bot posted above again please.

lapis bane
#

hi all - have an issue with OBS & media request during IRL streams

#

video shows up on overlay layer, but audio is not played through layer...its played through desktop audio, which i have muted

#

unmuting desktop audio is not an option

#

@shy mountain i heard you helped my friend last night lulslide

shy mountain
#

Obs audio defaults to w/e is your main audio channel.

#

This means MR and Alerts go through the same audio channel

lapis bane
#

:/ we're using rtmp server

#

for main sound

#

and use browser url for alerts on stream

#

(in obs)

shy mountain
#

I have no clue about RMTP server setups

#

Which i know are used for mobile streams right?

lapis bane
#

yeah... :/

#

no way to get media to play out of that same URL that are used for alerts, huh?

shy mountain
#

Well yes you can

#

Add the media widget there

lapis bane
#

ahhhh...ook

#

we have the media widget in the editor

shy mountain
lapis bane
#

wait...add media widget to OBS? as it's own source? @shy mountain

shy mountain
#

Add the widget to the overlay that has the alerts

lapis bane
#

right, did that...but why do all sounds come out of that url...except for media

#

like alert sound and tts come out from that URL, but the media audio is routed through desktop speaker?

#

and is there a way to get that media audio to play out of the android app??

shy mountain
#

Like I said above, the alerts sounds and media request use the same output audio channel from OBS - the default desktop audio (monitor/speaker/headphones) - the one set in the volume settings of Windows.

#

If you don't hear the MR with the alerts, then you have done something that needs to be reverted and since I don't know what your actual setup is or why "desktop audio" channel should not be used

#

i'm not sure what to suggest.

lapis bane
#

understood @shy mountain. what about when using the stream elements mobile app?

shy mountain
#

Our mobile app uses a specific overlay that it grabs on its own automatically.

#

But Media request is not working properly for the app at the moment - its not properly syncs with audio and video of MR so I think its been disabled by default.

I switched from SLOBS to SE. Imported my alerts as instructed. All of the imported alerts, except the Tips, work and appear as expected when I test the newly imported alert box. How do I fix it so the tips will appear as expected?

#

and other alerts

im struggling with getting the store redemption sound alerts to work.... i have everything set up properly and added the widget to my overlay but nothing happens when i do the command in chat. Even when i test out regular alerts like new follower its not popping up in OBS.... but if i replay a legitimate follow in obs.live it will pop up. I am stumped right now

shy mountain
#

@fiery wigeon Check the steps bellow - if you missed any of the steps - do them.

Steps to make a command trigger sound on stream:

  1. Go to Stream Store page here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/store/items
  2. Add an item that has these settings on it:
  • Stream Perk
  • Loyalty settings to your desire
  • (Next step) Add contents (image and/or sound you want to play)
  • "Redeeming this item shows an alert
  • Redemable via chat
  • Skip Requirements
  1. Get the item name/command from the 2nd creation page
  2. Go to commands page here: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot/commands/custom
  3. Add command with desired name and have response for command as: ${redeem item_name_here}
  4. Go to your overlays and edit the overlay you use.
  5. Click on "widgets" and add "Store redemptions" widget. Click save and you should be golden.
  6. Test your own command in chat and have OBS or editor open to hear sound

#

@shy mountain do you feel like wanting to tackle an OBS.Live Media request repeating / echo issue? 😃

deep birchBOT
#

@modest pagoda Make sure to ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output scenes After Transitioning.” Also keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/FegZJQS.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png

modest pagoda
#

heh

safe beacon
#

@shy mountain, was there anything I could've done to correct the issue myself? Just in case I run into this again in the future?

shy mountain
#

Not really. It was most like adjusting the Nerd or Die custom alerts to our alerts system.

#

mostly adjusting the html/css/js in the alert.

#

For some reason when you imported, that was the only alert it didn't import properly.

safe beacon
#

Yeah, that's all over my skill level. I'm thankful for you!

#

Have a great evening!

#

Well I don't use studio mode, and my shutdown sources was already checked so.... now wat? pepeL

modest pagoda
#

yeah I've never used it

#

and it won't let me snip it that

#

but it looks the exact same as the stream elements bot picture

#

basically I'm doing everything I am told

shy mountain
#

well yeah thats studio mode

#

you pre-load scenes before switching/transitioning to them? thonking

#

is that how you've done it so far?

modest pagoda
#

I just hotkey switch scenes

#

I've never used studio mode before

Well now you will have to. PepeLaugh

this is what I've been doing

yeah I get it, I will tell you in DMs how to properly set it up PepeLaugh

hey, i'm new to OBS and such, but can anyone tell me if there's a way to test my stream/chat alerts on OBS? I just added my overlays and stuff, but will the alerts automatically pop up once it happens on stream, or is there a way to test it beforehand?

Yes they will

hi I am using BLUE METROPOLIS ANIMATED SUPER THEME as my overlay im wanting my donation and subscriber goals to match how do I do that?

#

Hi guys, how come that when I start up OBS with OBS.Live, I have to disconnect twitch and reconnect twitch again to be able to the "new (23.0)" twitch docks? I can't see it in the menu (View->Docks) only if I reconnect twitch, and it's a bit annoying.. Am I doing something wrong?

odd kraken
#

do you mean colorwise matching? you might have to code that yourself with css.

ancient robin
#

yes colour wise and scrolling text

deep birchBOT
#

@mighty atlas If you have issues with OBS logging you out of the integration all the time, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live ( 19.3.24.375)
  2. exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
  3. delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
  4. start OBS.Live
  5. Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect

Any chance we can get the "Stream Information" panel from OBS inside of OBS.Live? Something I use a lot when streaming and would mean I would not need Chrome open at all

In this log is no output data.

  1. Restart OBS.
  2. Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
  3. Stop your stream/recording.
  4. Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.

Here is an analysis of your log @ancient robin https://glorp.ninja/obslog?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobsproject.com%2Flogs%2FoaEpg60v5XT-rAIn
Also for Apex:
Since Apex Legends doesn't have optimized GPU drivers yet, it tends to take up all your GPU resources, leaving nothing for OBS. If you're having OBS performance issues, you'll likely need to limit the game somehow. The easiest way to do this is to enable Vsync in the game, or use a frame limiter. You can limit the game to 60fps by adding +fps_max 60 to the game's launch properties in Origin.

No there is no support for DLive at the moment. Maybe we will add support in the future.

how to fix pixel graphics on the elgato hd60 s

i would suggest changing your encoder to NVENC (new)
then turn off PVT and look-ahead
please remember to change your bitrate back to 3500

@rugged quail there should be setting on the elgato in its settings menu, or try adjusting the settings in obs. apart from that i dont really know. maybe ask in the obs discord?

Hi!
I've been watching alot of "gaming on linux" videos lately, and been concidering to give it a shot.
But how does OBS.Live work with linux ?

ancient robin
#

what is PVT and look-ahead?

plain sonnet
#

They are 2 options in the encoder settings for the new encoder. It's best to disable these in case they cause issues

#

@mint vault I'm not sure it does. You will have to ask in their discord

deep birchBOT
mint vault
#

@plain sonnet i know that native OBS does have pretty decent Linux support, but does that directly translate over to obs.live ?

plain sonnet
#

Obs.live is only a plugin. If the main obs works then yes 😁

allright, Thanks!

No emulation option outside of the editor yet.

is there a current way to enable windows snapping for when the .Live modules are manually moved out of the native shell/window?

tulip hamlet
#

Not that I'm aware of. It's still considered a part of the OBS client so won't behave like a regular Windows window.

shy blaze

understood. Thanks!

Having issue positioning alerts. Would have thought it would be simple but my alerts are partially cut off in obslive. I've tried moving their position in streeamelements browser but that's not chaing anything in obs

Set your browser source width/height to 1920x1080 in its properties.

I noticed with Ground Control that the pause and resume alert hotkeys are no longer available. Not sure how long this has been the case, but I haven't used it in a while.

You can't disabled the preview completely because it's not a dock.

crude pecan
#

Is it just me or did they remove the window where you could set stream title and game etc from OBS.LIVE since last update? I can't find it in View anymore

#

also it would be sweet if the "Start Streaming" button would be highlighted green when Im live so that I dont forget to turn the stream off 😄

#

ideas - homepage isnt working so.. yah

deep birchBOT
#

@crude pecan If you have issues with OBS logging you out of the integration all the time, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live ( 19.3.24.375)
  2. exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
  3. delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
  4. start OBS.Live
  5. Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect
shy mountain
#

@crude pecan also that button highlight is for obs studio not us. We just have a plugin that adds 3 windows to obs studio

crude pecan
#

Oh, I see. Thought you could effect it using the plugin

#

I'm actually studying the dev api documentation now, trying to get involved 😃

shy mountain
#

To be honest i think you can make a custom ui profile for obs to highlight the button when streaming. No idea how but @steel mural built his own themed obs studio akin for twitch youtube and mixer.

#

He can most likely tell you how.

crude pecan
#

Yeah that's what Im looking into, cool 😃 Ill send him a dm

Alright so i've got my alert box set up and my custom alert loaded and all done on streamelements side of things, it works fine in browser when i do the test but the overlay link is not working as a tab on its own, and it doesnt work on OBS Live.

Is there a command I can use to clip my stream?

#

Do I need to use OBS studio to use stream elements? I'd rather use streamlabs 😛

fierce atlas
#

it's not officially supported so if something goes wrong you will have to get help from Streamlabs, I think there may be some known conflicts but IDK what they are anneThinking

#

ultimately it seems to create confusion for people on what's managed where between StreamElements and Streamlabs so I tend to recommend you pick one boat and sail with it 😉 StreamElements with OBS.Live works super well for me and that's my recommended setup

crude schooner
#

yeah, i've been in the twitch con in tel aviv and the guys from stream elements were super kewl

#

ill give it a try

#

"because its better" 😃

#

Does it also have a automatic setup for your pc and internet specs?

#

or I gotta edit it myself? XD long time I edited last time for best quality/performance

fierce atlas

that's a question that might be better suited for OBS as StreamElements simply offers a plugin to enhance the functionality there 😃

rugged quail

ok

#

obs support said i need to reinstall but i can't even uninstall obs.live

odd kraken
#

I recommend saving/exporting all your profiles and scene collections and reinstall OBS Studio completely.

If you reinstall OBS Studio, OBS.Live should not be installed after you download and install it again.

i mean same

#

that's impossible

#

obs studio works

#

but the obs.live add-on not working

odd kraken

So you are now on OBS Studio version 23.1.0 right?

#

Try to download the obs.live installer and uncheck the installation of OBS Studio, try to install just the plugin.

now if i tried to uninstall the obs.live add-on that started download to me a obs studio 23.1

So uninstaller finished work succesfully and my pc restarting right now maybe it uninstalls

Hi just joined the server! I was wondering if anyone else has been having issues with OBS.Live recently? Since the new update about a week ago, I can’t stream with OBS live because it is super choppy and laggy. There was a new update (that I hoped would fix it) but it’s still doing the same thing. Anyone have any advice?

@odd kraken ^

Either start OBS, start the stream and then upload the log file, or upload a previous log file from your log file folder.

Make all your sources shutdown when not visible when possible, limit the game graphics and fps, disable windows 10 gaming mode.

You can try to make the bot leave your channel, log out of the dasboard and log back in and make the bot join your channel again. This should renew the connection between Twitch and StreamElements.

pallid parrot
#

CPU/GPU

#

As this relies on those two factors

jovial shore
#

GPU: geforce gtx 1080, CPU: i7 8700k

pallid parrot
#

Oh. So It should be OK

jovial shore
#

yes

pallid parrot
#

For 10th gen of GeForce it is good to pick "nvenc new" as encoder

jovial shore
#

it is

#

and it still has FPS drops

pallid parrot
#

Another factor - do you have your browser sources set to "Shutdown when not visible"?

#

So they are not running in background?

jovial shore
#

how do i check that?

pallid parrot
#

The option on the bottom

#

@odd kraken 😉

#

Love ya

jovial shore
#

i actually dont have any browser sources at the moment

odd kraken
#

sry, you have been faster. 😄

pallid parrot
#

Huh. So you have just game + cam?

#

Nothing else?

jovial shore
#

yep

pallid parrot
#

I know there should be fps drops, but they shouldn't be really heavy

jovial shore
#

should i start a stream to check that again?

deep birchBOT
#

@jovial shore Can you please provide a log from your last stream. In OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File. Once this is complete, please provide the link to the log file.

jovial shore
#

V

pallid parrot
#

Oooh. Dropped frames!

#

OMG I was thinking about fps drop

#

Mea culpa

#

This is definitely because of internet connection

#

So...

#

The best way is to select other Twitch server

#

If you're on WiFi - consider switching to wired connections as well

jovial shore
#

I AM ON ETHERNET

#

oops

#

didnt notice i was on caps lock

pallid parrot
#

Just saw that to make sure

#

As WiFi is most typical reason of that

#

Sorry. I wrote about that before checking your connection to router should be fine as it is 1000BaseT

#

So now I would like to recommend you this tool

#

It is "speedtest for twitch"

#

It provides you information which server you should use for best performance

jovial shore
#

if i am on auto on the twitch server what should i check in the app?

pallid parrot
#

So you have this app downloaded

jovial shore
#

i downloaded it

pallid parrot
#

Select servers that are near you

jovial shore
#

i just selected asia

pallid parrot
#

You can select whole areas like "Europe and Asia"

#

Then click start to find the best server for you

jovial shore
#

i am runnig the test

#

running

#

how do i know which server is best?

pallid parrot
#

Pick a server with highest Bandwidth and lowest RTT

jovial shore
#

ok

#

selected

pallid parrot
#

And you should be fine now

#

If not - there's something wrong with your Internet connection (it might be fast but not stable in that case)

jovial shore
#

shouldnt i change it in the OBS.live settings?

pallid parrot
#

Yes. Select the fastest server in OBS

#

Based on this test

#

Also - What is your upload?

jovial shore
#

oh wait i have way better servers in europe

pallid parrot
#

Can I have your speedtest as last resource I need?

jovial shore
#

my upload is around 3.50

pallid parrot
#

Oh....

#

OK.

#

So go to settings in OBS and change bitrate to 3000

#

As it should never exceed your upload

jovial shore
#

ok

pallid parrot
#

And to make it look good - use output resolution of 720p

#

As 1080p w/ 3000 bitrate looks terrible

jovial shore
#

did it

pallid parrot
#

That should be it now

jovial shore
#

i also changed the server

pallid parrot
#

Great. You can run a test now to see if it helped

jovial shore
#

it didn't...

pallid parrot
#

Press ctrl+shift+escape to open task manager

#

Then go to performance tab

#

And check how much upload does it consume

#

Try to lower bitrate then to 2500

jovial shore
#

what do you mean check how much it consumes

pallid parrot
#

Like here

jovial shore
#

oh

pallid parrot
#

So you will see that if you set 3000 bitrate, but here it is always 100% consumed of your internet connection, you should lower your bitrate

jovial shore
#

it receives 145 mbps

#

no

#

sorry

pallid parrot
#

"Send"

#

This is the upload

jovial shore
#

it sends 8.00

pallid parrot
#

Huh. Let's go back to twitch test

#

This app

#

what bandwidth did it display to you?

jovial shore
#

it doesn't open for some reason

pallid parrot
#

Wait... That is strange

#

You should have screen like that

#

When you select your server, remember to never exceed bitrate above "bandwidth". Keep it at 2/3 of that value just for being safe with it

jovial shore
#

wait i just redownloaded it

pallid parrot
#

Of course

jovial shore
#

ok

pallid parrot
#

Also - do you have any other apps consuming your upload?

jovial shore
#

i am in the app

pallid parrot
#

Torrents?

jovial shore
#

no idea

pallid parrot
#

Is your upload when idle still at 8mbit?

jovial shore
#

no

pallid parrot
#

OK. So nothing in the background

jovial shore
#

ok

pallid parrot
#

So I think that this bandwidth from Twitch Test should give you a clue of your max upload to twitch servers

jovial shore
#

and that means?...

pallid parrot
#

Can you give me a screenshot from Twitch Tester results?

jovial shore
#

this is the best server i found for myself

pallid parrot
#

Huh.

#

There's definitely something wrong with your connection

#

This Bandwidth should be at least 1000 to let you stream

#

And 1000 is sufficient for 480p

jovial shore
#

i found some other servers with like 500

pallid parrot
#

And it is strange as speedtest gave you 3500 and you can't find server with more than 1000 to do 480p stream

jovial shore
#

i am currently running a test for all of the servers

#

rn i have another server that is a bit better than the other one

pallid parrot
#

What is the bandwidth there?

jovial shore
#

319

#

lol

#

at least its better

#

another one with 483

pallid parrot
jovial shore
#

ok

#

i found another one with 512

#

the first one, the united kingdom now has 654

pallid parrot
#

So it depends that your upload is weird. I would contact your ISP in that case

#

What is your connection type with your ISP?

jovial shore
#

no idea

pallid parrot
#

Is it FTTH/Ethernet/WiFi?

jovial shore
#

how can i check that?

pallid parrot
#

What devices do you have from your ISP?

#

Is there antenna outside of your house, to connect with accesspoint somewhere else?

#

Or LTE

jovial shore
#

no idea what you mean

pallid parrot
#

OK. You can dm me URL to your ISP website and tell me what internet package you have

#

So I could take a look there

#

If I can gather additional details

jovial shore
#

i have no idea what even is my ISP

pallid parrot
#

So. It is definitely your internet connection. Twitch nor StreamElements can do anything to increase your upload and make it more stable. You should contact your ISP to do that.

#

You can try streaming 360p@20fps with bitrate set to 600, but I think that's it for the moment

jovial shore
#

well at least its for the moment

pallid parrot
#

Yup. You need to contact your ISP and solve that as your computer is definitely capable of streaming in way better quality, but your upload is a huge bottleneck

empty warren
#

everytime i try and update my stream today it says reconnect to twitch

odd kraken
#

How are you updating your stream exactly and where does it say reconnect to twitch?

empty warren
jovial shore
#

@pallid parrot can you accept me?, i think i know who my ISP is

empty warren
#

restarted my comp and same thing

deep birchBOT
#

@empty warren If you have issues with OBS logging you out of the integration all the time, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live ( 19.3.24.375)
  2. exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
  3. delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies
  4. start OBS.Live
  5. Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect
empty warren
#

its just been today, never had an issue before

#

where do i do that delete?

odd kraken
#

Please delete the folders inside described folter.

empty warren
#

therres no described folder?

odd kraken
#

There is a path to a folder described in points 3: %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies

#

You can press crtl+R and enter the path and hit enter and you will get to the described folder.

empty warren
#

ctrl r doesnt do anything?

odd kraken
#

My bad. Win-Key + R

empty warren
#

says windows cannot find

#

Im supposed to start my 24 hr charity/bday stream. ill just have to use slobs i think. yuck

odd kraken
#

can you try to open %appdata% in Win + R and try to follow the path manually

empty warren
odd kraken
#

I misspelled it. Please try to use %appdata% again.

empty warren
#

just under cookies?

odd kraken
#

what version of OBS.Live are you on, it is in the lower right on the OBS screen.

empty warren
#

19.3.24.375

odd kraken
#

also, please make sure you follow the steps closely, as you haven't done step 2. I am not sure, if it is related.

empty warren
#

still not there

odd kraken
#

Ok, I am assumijng it has been deleted and you can try to proceed with step 4

empty warren
#

did everything still not working

#

one sec

#

yeah still nothing

#

I dont get why this happened all of a sudden, been using stream elements since it came out

odd kraken
#

I have to ask internally about this issue, as I never had someone not having the folder with the cookies.

empty warren
#

it was there and then i did the lsat steps and its doing the same thing

#

beyond frustrating. i already almost an hour late for my stream

odd kraken
#

So you deleted the folder?

empty warren
#

yes

#

ill do it again

odd kraken
#

Please follow the steps closely, as I have tested it myself now and it worked flawless.

empty warren
#

yeah but youre not having the same issues i am

#

i go back into stream elements and where do i "disconnect"?

odd kraken
#

The disconnect button is not in the stream elements manu at the top, it is in the settings > stream

empty warren
#

yes and theres no option to disconnect

#

it says connect account (optional)

odd kraken
#

please log in using this option.

empty warren
#

it wont let me get another token because iev been messing around for over an hour

#

im just gonna have to use slobs i guess. so frustrating

odd kraken
#

can you share a screenshot of your settings > stream?

empty warren
#

theres nothing i can do because i cant request anymore tokens. im fucked

odd kraken
#

so when you select connect account you can't connect your account?

empty warren
#

thats right because ive been trying for over an hour and twitch wont send me anymore tokens

#

this has been planned for over a week. Now I get fucked over because some stupid issue.. people were expecting me to start an hour ago

#

everything was fine when I ended my stream last night

odd kraken
#

But you are now logged in to your activity feed?

empty warren
#

no it wont let me get a token

odd kraken
#

Ok. I am out of ideas at this points I am very sorry. I have to ask internally about this issue.

empty warren
#

fuck

#

nobody else here has any ideas? you guys are killing my stream right now.

#

Im never gonna use this program again. It was great while it lasted. Slobs never gave me these issues

#

Sorry for my ignorance, I may even be in the wrong channel, but Ive seen that streamelements supports tiltify. The problem is I cant seem to locate the widgets. Could anyone help me out on that one?

shy mountain
#

@empty warren hsve you tried reinstalling obs?

odd kraken
#

@errant grove When you are in the overlay editor, in the blue bar at the top it says "widgets". There you can add the widgets Tiltify Donation Alertbox and the Tiltify donation tracker.

errant grove
#

Is there a search function in that widget section? I had looked in there and came up short. I could just be blind honestly

#

Thank you for the response btw 😁

odd kraken
#

when you are in chrome you can just hit crtl +f to bring up the normal search and search by entering the word.

I've been seeing color distortion like this pop up on stream (not my my monitor) for quite some time. Any reasons for this?

Using a dual pc set up. I've been told it's a problem with the HDMI chord, so I switched it out but I still see it every once in a while.

Could it be a problem with my color sampling on obs?

odd kraken

What version of OBS Studio and what version of OBS.Live are you on?
I have never seen this and I think this is a case for the OBS guys.

@odd kraken I am having similar problem with the color of my ships in game while streaming in OBS, they show up as black, it is odd, no one has had any suggestions on how to fix it, I have downloaded latest drivers, I have turned off Windows 10 gaming.

#

The black should be green

odd kraken
#

What version of OBS Studio and what version of OBS.Live are you on?
I have never seen this and I think this is a case for the OBS guys.

The current - updated to OBS Live

#

It was still having problems with the OBS before the live update

#

I put a question into help but they closed DMs so that is not help when they do that

#

in the OBS discord

#

I have googled it but nothing

#

I am asking around the World of Warships community but nothing either, so we are a bit stumped

odd kraken
#

I am sorry, as when it happens on OBS studio, it seems to be an OBS issue, I can't really help with, as OBS.Live is just a plugin which adds chat and activity feed.

odd kraken
#

What is the issue with the scenes and transitions?

hallow pivot
#

Hey everyone, I've recently transitioned my settings from Mac to Windows and while things look ok for the most part, my camera is having problems. I'm using a Logitech C920S camera which is 1080p but my "default" settings are stuck at 1600x896, thus cutting out a huge portion of what should be captured in video capture.

#

I'm getting a "block" portion sized of video capture instead of the "rectangle."

#

And when I try to manually change resolution to 1080p, the capture just freezes.

#

Furthermore, when I try to use the same camera input for another scene, OBS.live won't allow me for some reason.

crude pecan
#

Is there any way to set which sound source is gonna play from the Media Request? I don't want it to use my default source

#

@hallow pivot sounds like a OBS problem and not related to obs.live. Try the obs discord 😃

odd kraken
#

I am not 100% sure, but I think there is not. @crude pecan

Is there a way to implement NDI to StreamElements OBS?

how to change StreamElements bot name?

dusk dove
#

I changed it via GroundControl @wet jolt

#

But you need an account and OAuth Token

wet jolt
#

@dusk dove umm.. yeah, so lets say ive got twitch account merged with streamelements and i've made OAuth token, where do i put it?

dusk dove
#

@wet jolt

wet jolt
#

humm... i downloaded Ground Control but i dont see this option

dusk dove
#

oO

#

humm

#

kinda weird .. becaue we both use version 1.7.1

deep birchBOT
#

@wet jolt Custom bot name requirements

  • StreamElements bot modded and in chat
  • Active overlay with alerts
  • StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
  • Create a twitch account for the name you want to use
  • Ground Control app must be running

Steps to enable custom name

  1. Sign in to https://twitch.tv with the bot account
  2. Install and run Ground Control (!gc for download)
  3. Visit https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ and generate an oAUTH token
  4. Copy/paste everything in the box to Ground Control oAuth settings and enter the name for the bot account
  5. Restart Ground Control (custom name may take a few minutes to take effect)

Mac does not currently support renaming the bot.

fierce atlas
#

You have to fulfill all the prerequisites before you get the option to rename the bot

odd kraken
#

You can also use the OBS.Live Rename Feature. Look at the pinnend messages in this Channel.

@dusk dove thanks for help @fierce atlas thanks for tip - thanks to you both i made it already running with Ground Control yet @odd kraken u won, the most simply as that 😄

yo how do i get the overlay from the website to obs

@raven jay To add your overlays to OBS, add a new browser source in your scene. Paste your overlay URL in the browser source properties, set the dimensions to 1920x1080 (unless you changed them on the website), and ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

Heyo Streamelements team! Loving the OBS live stuff. After the last update, I cant seem to find the stream info dock? I loved using that to update the game I was playing and stream title inside OBS... is it still around or am I just a blind person ??

@rancid flame go to options-> stream, then logout and login

this is a temporary solution

@rugged quail To get a permanent solution, you need to delete the browser source cookies and relog again.

You can export your profiles and scenes from obs and import them at your new pc.

Where do I do that?

Start -> Run -> %AppData%
Should open an explorer window to your application data. There you will find a subfolder called OBS. Just copy that sub-folder to the same %AppData% folder on the 2nd PC, done.

@bronze island Make sure to ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck “Swap Preview/Output scenes After Transitioning.” Also keep in mind that sound can play from any overlay loaded in the browser (editor or launched). https://i.imgur.com/FegZJQS.png https://i.imgur.com/yY0wcFl.png
