very confused lol

tulip hamlet
#

They are enabled. Delete the custom !songrequest command you created, it's getting in the way.

lament ivy
#

it has to be on broadcaster?

#

or on everyone?

tulip hamlet
#

If you're trying to restrict it to subs and higher only, then set it to subs.

lament ivy
#

GOTCHA

tulip hamlet
#

This setting meanwhile is letting everyone ignore everything. Cost, limits, etc.

lament ivy
#

giz a second gonna get every to try it out!

#

OH

#

YOU SEXY LADS

#

THANK YOU

hey, whenever I get a follow (dunno if it happens w/ other alerts) the sound plays twice, the second time sometime randomly after the first

anytips for a 1050ti GPU with 16gig ram and 8core amd 4.2 ghz processor to get it where lag is down and i can game? with out encoding error or bad lag

#

So, ever since the most recent update, I cannot stream for more than 5 minutes? That doesn't seem right...

#

I have a question about my streamelements Overlays.... When I click on a scene, it always takes a second or two to load up the overlay? It doesnt look great, but it works. I guess Im not sure if this is something that can be improved with some settings changes in OBS or if this is just the way it is using browser based overlays?

tulip hamlet
#

You're basically loading a webpage every time you open a scene, so long as "shutdown source when not visible" is enabled. Which is enabled to prevent multiple sounds. The easy "workaround" is using Studio Mode.

deep birchBOT
rancid flame
#

Thanks for the info @tulip hamlet !

#

studio mode should work great for me. I prob should have been using it from the get go

daring shoal
#

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but I just had a group of sources in one of my scenes go missing. It is still listed in the sources, but I cannot locate them in the preview. It seems like they have been moved off of the preview somehow, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I have tried using transform > center to screen on each and then the border for them appears around the edge of the preview, but they are invisible. As long as I have been using OBS, I have never seen this happen. Any help?

shy mountain
#

I can only guess but actually click on the group not individual sources and then do the transform center

#

If that doesnt help best is to ask in the obs discord

#

!obshelp

deep birchBOT

#

thanks @shy mountain for the quick response. That was my first guess before doing it to individual sources. I'll reach out over there

#

Anyone experiencing high CPu usage with OBS.LIVE installed? OBS usually idles around 5% (iin obs) and reads 9% in system. with obslive installed it jumps to 15% and 30%

shy mountain
#

15 to 30% in idle?

ebon flower
#

yeah completely idle

#

15 reading in obs and 30% in task manager

#

give or take

shy mountain
#

When you open task manager do you see something like this?

ebon flower
#

one second

shy mountain
#

yep seems like a browser source is a heavy one

#

do you use an animted themed overlay from us?

ebon flower
#

hmm, I do not. Mine are all custom ones.

#

only things on it is webcam frame + alert box + kappageddon

shy mountain
#

Any of them use scrolling text?

#

kappageddon OMEGALUL

#

nice

ebon flower
#

does kappa destroy CPU?

shy mountain
#

if overused with lots of doomsday emotes

#

i mean.. if you do !kappagen Kappa 10000000 in chat

#

you might lag your PC FeelsPeakMan

ebon flower
#

haha but idle though when it's not being used?

shy mountain
#

but while its idle it shouldn';t take much CPU

ebon flower
#

hmhmhm

shy mountain
#

you can try by just removing it from the overlay

#

completely

ebon flower
#

I'll test that now.

#

so it's more likely the browser source than specificially OBS.LIVE causing the cpu usage then?

shy mountain
#

yes

ebon flower
#

actually yeah it definitely is, just went to a webcam source without an overlays

shy mountain
#

If you have any hidden widgets in the overlays - they still load up

#

so its best to keep the overlay clean if any unneeded things

#

One way to mitigate this, is to have some stuff on its own overlays

#

Example being: Kappagen and/or Alert widget.

#

You then just add it as 1 brower source and copy + paste as reference to other scenes where you want to use them.

#

Keeps them constantly pre-loaded so when you switch scenes while an emote explosion is playing or an alert - you don't interupt it

ebon flower
#

okay

#

I removed kappa and a botcounter widget (that was hidden)

#

so just alertbox and webcam frame, now it's WAY down

#

interesting.

#

okay it's literally just kappa

#

activating it was like 15% usage

#

even idle

#

well that's an easy fix.

shy mountain
#

Kappagen just has all the emotes on it preloaded

#

and its more or less constantly reading chat to ensure it shows an emote when used

ebon flower
#

I see, fair enough. I may look into it again one day on it's own but for now ima just turn it off.

#

thanks very much for you help on the matter FeelsOkayMan

shy mountain
#

👍

#

@ebon flower Yes - we have an integration with streamdeck

#

If you are speaking about seamless loading - the above method that I described helps with streamdeck scene switching

#

i miss understood what exactly you asked.

#

Have your alert box in its own overlay, plus any other overlay item you want to have preloaded

#

and you will be fine.

ebon flower
#

now I've confused myself

shy mountain
ebon flower
#

ah yep, I'm familiar with having them on separate overlays and manually copying them into each scene on OBS instead of having them as a widget in streamelemnts overlays.

#

what I'm wanting to achieve in seamless scene switching with 1 button via the streamdeck.

#

is*

shy mountain
#

So use the above method and then have the scene switch button

ebon flower
#

alright, I'll watch that first video again and see if I can get it setup on the stream deck.

shy mountain
#

The video you linked is specific to studio mode

ebon flower
#

okay and there wouldn't be a way to macro a swap to studio mode in via the stream deck?

#

Guessing I'd have to permanently leave OBS in studio mode for this to work

shy mountain
#

Its like we are going in a loop here rooBlank

#

What ever you need to be preloaded, have it copy+pasted as reference to other scenes

#

then setup your streamdeck scene buttons

#

and everything will load seamlessly

#

when you switch scenes

#

to avoid multisound/echo from alert widget - have it on its own overlay and copy+paste as reference in all your scenes

#

To copy the alert widget from w/e overlay its at to its own - make a new blank overlay -> enter the overlay editor where the alert is -> click -> lower left corner click on the 2 white papers with 1 red dot to copy

ebon flower
#

yep got it. I think we were confusing each other, my apologies!

ebon flower
#

I figured out what I was trying to achieve and couldn't word properly because ima spud

shy mountain
#

Well, you can also use this method xd

ebon flower
#

oh my... i think i just realized the point of what you were explaining FeelsChromosomeMan

#

so if I don't have alerts / sounds / animations on any of the normal overlays I don't need to hide them when not visible?

#

but only hide alerts etc when not visible

shy mountain
#

Well...yes

ebon flower
#

I missed the visible / not visible part.

weak dawn
#

in the target field am i adding --remote-debugging-port=40404 at the end of "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe

#

Ooh there

#

Wait

weak dawn
shy mountain
#

Click on Streamelements

#

and then click on "Console" tab

weak dawn
shy mountain
#

can you please hit CTRL + R while on the console

#

it should refresh the console

#

and list all error

steep rose

doesent work (--remote-debugging-port=40404
)

shy mountain
#

If it doesn't work, why did it work for the other guy?

steep rose
#

i dont know

shy mountain
#

Thats retorical

steep rose
#

maybe i missed something

shy mountain
#

most likely yes

#

after you add the remote debugging port, open a browser tab and open localhost:40404

weak dawn
shy mountain
#

Right.

#

@steep rose I would really like for you to get to this point as well, so that I can have 100% confirmation

weak dawn
#

@shy mountain im happy to wait i got alot of spare time 😄

shy mountain

Hey, ive just recently been getting white screen issues with obs.live, have tried restarting pc, clearing cache and cookies folders and now just done a complete fresh install of obs and obslive any ideas as to what else i could try

shy mountain
#

If you restart OBS as admin do you still get the whitescreen?

proper horizon
#

yep

shy mountain
#

what if you do "Streamelements" on top -> logout and log back in?

proper horizon
#

Yeah just tried still having the same issue

shy mountain
#

Ok, so lets do this:

  1. close OBS
  2. right click your OBS shortcut -> Properties
  3. In the "Target" field at the end after the path and quotes add this: --remote-debugging-port=40404
  4. Start OBS
  5. Open browser and a new tab and type this: localhost:40404
    Provide a screenshot of what you see

fck!

#

thank you

#

i donloaded the installer

odd kraken
#

@vocal radish You can try to repair/reinstall the StreamDeck software.

loud ivy
#

just added alerts to my obs.live and now whenever i stream i just get a green screen being sent out

odd kraken
#

What version of OBS Studio (top left) and what version of OBS.Live (bottom right) are you using?

candid bronze
#

Why i cant open Mixer audio settings, scenes etc?

odd kraken
#

Have you deactivated these docks?

#

When you select view > docks > mixer, does the mixer then come back up?

candid bronze
#

Oh yes, it worket

#

Worked*

#

But why i cant select by right clicking and select Mixer?

odd kraken
#

When you colsed the dock, you have to bring it back the way provided.

remote trail
#

hiya, ttying to get my scenes from my dashboard onto the OBS live app and I'm not sure how

deep birchBOT
#

@remote trail 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

#

how do we add chatbox to overlay guys ??

tulip hamlet
#

"Your Twitch channel's chat" widget.

tall rampart
#

Okay, so OBS.Live does disable hardware acceleration for the browser source

#

@plain sonnet ^

shy mountain
#

Yes, I can confirm that.

tall rampart
#

That's a huge problem.

shy mountain
#

If you use plain OBS Studio, we recommend to sometimes turn off hardware accel in OBS, when overlays don't load.

tall rampart
#

Well, without hardware acceleration OBS uses 35% CPU

#

Making streaming CSGO impossible

#

And overlays load just fine with hwaccel on 😉

shy mountain
#

Don't encode with your CPU shrugg

tall rampart
#

I encode with NVENC

#

Encoding isn't the problem, the problem is that the Browser Source is literally pulling 35% CPU

#

Making it impossible to use StreamElements overlays

shy mountain
#

Everything is possible.

#

If you use kappagen - don't

#

if you use scrolling text widgets - don't

#

if you use hypecup - maybe don't as that also takes CPU

#

if OBS is taking 35% of your CPU while streaming, then maybe remove some widgets.

tall rampart
#

Or, y'know, make sure you don't disable Hardware Acceleration in Browser Sources unless this checkbox isn't ticked?

#

Telling me to not use functions you provide because of something you enforce with one of your other products isn't a feasible solution.

shy mountain
#

I can also tell you to maybe buy a better CPU, but i'm not right? There is a reason hardware acceleration is not working when you have OBS.Live installed. I don't know the exact reason, but I can only assume that when its on, the additional windows we add to OBS.Live don't work properly.

tall rampart
#

7700K @ 5GHz....

shy mountain
#

so I'm telling you the easier ways around lowering the CPU usage.

tall rampart
#

It's not like I'm using a weak CPU

shy mountain
#

I'm not here to argue or measure CPU sizes - I'm here to tell you what can help you lower your CPU usage.

tall rampart
#

Then I'm afraid I'll have to look elsewhere for my overlays and other functionality.

tall rampart
#

I mean, you can't be serious about having to remove functionality to use a product you created?
How's this even a solution, you're basically telling me to fuck off and find something else, dude.

shy mountain
#

I'm not saying that. I'm just listing things that might use more CPU.

tall rampart
#

That's no solution though.

shy mountain
#

Want more suggestions? Play CS:Go on lowest graphical settings. Don't use animated themed overlays.

#

If you want to play CS:Go on max settings, its your choice, but these are suggestions that others actually follow.

#

I feel a slight dejavu from yesterday, when I told 1 person to remove kappagen and his OBS in idle state started to use less CPU.

tall rampart
#

I've got a 1080Ti, lowering graphical settings does nothing for my FPS

#

I'm using the yellow particle overlay

#

KappaGen is a function you provide, it should be compatible with all your products

shy mountain
#

It is, but its also CPU heavy.

#

Combined with a scrolling text in the overlay - CPU usage will be high

#

even when not used.

tall rampart
#

Unless hardware acceleration is enabled in the browser source, then it's just 1% CPU usage 🤷

shy mountain
#

Then don't use OBS.Live

#

and use Ground Control to track your activity feed.

tall rampart
#

I use OBS.Live's Stream Deck functionality heavily.

shy mountain
#

OBS Studio has twitch integration, so you can still have your Chat inside it.

tall rampart
#

Seriously, make enabling hardware acceleration for browser sources a choice

#

Instead of telling me not to use certain parts of your products.

tall rampart
#

which CEF version are you building against?

#

@shy mountain

shy mountain
tall rampart
#

yeah, that doesn't say anything about which CEF version you're building against 😃

shy mountain
#

Ok, let see if I can get the dev to tell me that.

tall rampart
#

It should be 3.3440.1805.0

shy mountain
#

It should, but its not. Reason behind this is:
OBS.Live is meant to work with OBS Studio 21.1.0(dare to say 21.0.0), where Hardware Acceleration actually crashes OBS from our study, so to have OBS.Live(yes, the plugin) work with older versions(but not 18.0.0 as recently discovered), we have opted out into using an older CEF.

#

Does that answer your questions as to why OBS.Live is using more CPU with Kappagen?

tall rampart
#

@shy mountain ah man, can you provide an alternative build with the right CEF?

shy mountain
#

What do you mean alternative build?

#

We don't have an alternative build with w/e CEF you want at the moment,.

tall rampart
#

One targeting 23, with the proper CEF version.

#

Shouldn't be too hard to build.

shy mountain
#

I'll just say that I had this talk with the devs.

#

Some 3-4 months ago.

#

And even recently when we found out that OBS.Live doesn't work with OBS Studio v18.0.0

#

It ain't that easy

tall rampart
#

Why support older versions?

#

Just tell people to use the latest OBS, less headaches for you dudes as well.

shy mountain
#

Because people still use OBS Studio 21.0.0, apparently.

#

Its not something we can enforce.

tall rampart
#

Well, just don't provide plugins that support older versions and tell people to upgrade when the installer detects a version mismatch 🤷

#

Also, people use 21 because the OBS auto-updater is broken and won't tell them about newer versions

#

So they have to manually upgrade.

shy mountain
#

We know the auto-updater is broken on the 21 version

#

but people don't know that

#

but we don't want to force people

#

because majority of people still are on 21.1.0

tall rampart
#

Because they don't know 23 is out

#

So, why not add an notice in the installer letting people know about the broken auto-updater instead?

#

It's a service to the OBS community, really

#

And it'd improve the performance of OBS for many people that use StreamElements since v23 brings a lot of performance improvements

#

After that you'd never have to target older versions again either.

plain sonnet
#

streamlabs?

tall rampart
#

I keep swapping those two for no apparent reason

#

It's very annoying

#

Either way, help people by making them upgrade and indirectly help me by providing hardware acceleration for v23

#

@shy mountain a minority uses v21 by the way.

#

the majority uses v23 now

plain sonnet
#

we do tell people to update, if youre going to rant in obs and then come back here and echo what they said, please fact check what happens here first.
all this selfish ranting is doing nothing but annoying people. im not admin, dev, or anything to do with SE apart from helping in my time, and even im getting annoyed at this.

youve been told obs.live doesnt have hardware accel yet you keep going on.
you had your say, if you want a different approach to the devs, make a post on the ideas board and get it upvoted.

please, for everyones sake that sees this helpdesk, and for keizar's mentality, leave it alone now.

deep birchBOT

@tall rampart Check out the new ideas board https://strms.net/ideas. You'll be able to add your ideas, upvote others that you like, and track their progress with email notifications. Adding and upvoting ideas also helps the staff know which ideas should be prioritized so please take some time to upvote the features that you’d like. The #💭︱feedback-and-ideas channel is best used for discussing ideas already on the board.

tall rampart
#

Talk about toxic 😐 man you're way out of line here.

plain sonnet
#

i know right, its what we have to deal with

tall rampart
#

You have to deal with? I'm just discussing a bug and sourcing info from wherever I can to get to the actual issue instead of the symptoms

#

I had to figure out by going back and forth and some debugging of my own that OBS.Live is using an outdated CEF version which in turn causes me to not have a hardware accelerated browser source in v23 where there are no reported problems.

#

And other v23 users for that matter

#

I was told to not use StreamElements functionality if I wanted to use SE.

#

How is me trying to get things to work annoying

shy mountain
#

Ok, lets end this after I say this line:

#

You are expecting us to enable all the things above

#

in a snap of a finger.

#

That is not how it works.

#

We will, but everything is known and is being worked on

#

but it takes time

#

End of discussion please.

tall rampart
#

No worries, I'm building OBS.Live myself with the proper CEF version, assuming the git repo is up to date.

shy mountain
#

Do not assume we are not aware of how to track what people use when installing our plugin - we can notify them, but other things took priority then having them being forced to update to v23.1.0.

#

Hardware Accel is planned for OBS.Live, but there is no ETA. Thats the end of it.

distant gazelle
#

hello

#

i've been using obs.live for some time now

#

but recently (about a week).. i've been having these encoding overload issue.. which i've never had before..

#

this is my log file

tall rampart
#

@distant gazelle can you make a screenshot of task manager while OBS is open, like this.
Sort by CPU usage, and unfold the OBS Studio entry

distant gazelle
tall rampart
#

Do you have the scene selected you generally use while in-game?

distant gazelle
#

no, i didn't

tall rampart
#

Set that Scene to active and take another screenshot

distant gazelle
#

okay, do i need to launch the game as well?

tall rampart
#

Nah, If I'm right it's your CPU usage coming from a browser source

#

Probably an overlay you use that has either scrolling text, or KappaGen

distant gazelle
#

it's not tho.. i have 3 brower page in total, with less than 1% each

tall rampart
#

then it's not what I think it is 😛

distant gazelle
#

to clarify, i usually use the new nvenc encoder.. and now it's around 20% gpu usage while obs is idle

tall rampart
#

I can see that, quite a bit of GPU and CPU overload

distant gazelle
#

any ideas

#

?

Hey guys. Just got started streaming live coding sessions and I am using StreamElements and OBS.Live. I was wondering if there is a way to get an audio alert when someone types something into chat. I don't have a lot of people drop in right now and sometimes I get focused on coding and don't realize that someone is trying to interract with me.

#

Hello, I'm switching from SLOBS to using OBS.live The first time it opened, it was great and I had chat, recent activity, and everything up on the OBS screen. Now when I open OBS.live its missing all of the other stuff and looks just like OBS Studio. If I click "Switch to OBS Studio" it says I'm already in OBS Studio mode. How do I get out of OBS Studio mode back to I guess Stream Elements mode? Sorry if this is an obvious answer.

odd kraken
#

Close OBS Studio and start OBS Studio again. The plugin sould start with it.

mossy fulcrum
#

I tried that. I tried opening it with the OBS.live shortcut and with OBS Studio itself. It shows the OBS.live version at the bottom and has the StreamElements tab at the top. Just none of the windows are showing up.

odd kraken
#

Select StreamElements on top. Do you see the option to enable the docks again?

mossy fulcrum
#

Nah thats all I see. Activate Overlays just takes me to the Overlay part of SE.

odd kraken
#

Please select log out and log back in.

mossy fulcrum
#

Ahhh ok. Thanks! Is that something I need to do everytime? Or did it just glitch?

odd kraken
#

I hope it just glitched. If you are experiencing this issue again, please come back here and we'll have a closer look.

Ok great, thank you so much for your help! Really appreciate it!

Hey guys, I am new to streaming I was trying to put media request to my stream but is it possible that only my viewers can listen to the music? because it gets too distracting for me
Thanks for the help!!
I posted on helpdesk-twitch too just so you know

plain sonnet
#

@scarlet harness not really, as the sound from the overlay would come through obs (unless someone knows differently).

#

the only way would be to have a virtualmixer set up but then they wont have the video, it would be purely audio for mr

#

yes I only care about the audio

#

is there a way you could help me set up the virtual mixer?

Hello, I got recently the Twitch Affiliate Status. Someone subscribed me but I didn't get notified on OBS.Live, plus I don't see it in the Activity feed. In addition I can not filter for only Subscribers for example. Should I reinstall OBS.Live, maybe it's bugging because I am a new in the Affiliate Program ?

odd kraken
#

Try to log out of the dashboard on the website please and log out of OBS.Live and OBS Studio. Then log back in to the dasboard and OBS.Live.

bold mica
#

Thanks I will try it

#

Thanks it worked ! Can I somehow get the person in to the activity feed who just recently subscribed me ? I can't see him.

odd kraken
#

I am afraid not, as twtich just sends us the data one time. If we don't get it, it can't be added.
You can edit the widget data here, when you know the name of the person: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session
The dataand statistics will populate as you got the connection between twtich and StreamElements now.

Ok thank you for your help !

Hi guys, i'm having some trouble with integration between the streamelements overlay and OBS live. In the streamelements web overlay i'm selecting custom font 'bebas' and it shows up on the web preview as the correct font but in OBS it shows up as a default font. Any ideas what is going on here? Thanks in advance 🍹

river wolf
#

question, do any of you guys know how to do a current sub count command?

shy mountain
#

@river wolf go to chat commands then custom tab then new command, name the command, and in the response make sure you have ${channel.subs}

Morning team.

Could I get some quick help.

Every time I boot up OBS Live, I'm getting asked to log into twitch If I want to type something in my stream chat.

deep birchBOT
#

@swift nymph If you have issues with OBS logging you out of the integration all the time or not showing the Twitch integrations, 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
swift nymph
#

Am I missing an option somewhere to prevent that?

#

for no. 3, is that in the program file folder?

tame hornet
#

in your profile folder

swift nymph
#

like C:/user/win....etc

shy mountain
#

Open explorer and go to that location

#

copy and paste it

tame hornet
#

you need active "show system folders" in view options of the folder

swift nymph
#

Yeah, that's what I wanted to make sure.

OK cool. Easy enough. Thanks!!

hello there!
im new to streaming and decided to use OBS.Live. thanks to the guides provided, it has proven easy to quickly set my first stream up, but now i've got an issue, none of the guides would help me solve:
starting a stream prompts the StreamElements-bot tot state the following in the chat: "StreamElements: darthbohdo is now live! Streaming <no game>: Ein bisschen WoW gefällig?"
my question is, shouldnt it be saying: "..... darthbohdo is now live! Streaming <World of Warcraft>: Ein bisschen WoW gefällig?"

#

is there a way to let it announce wich game exactly i have started to stream?

shy mountain
#

scroll to the bottom

#

Live announcement

rustic rain
#

i found it, the settings state "${channel.display_name} is now live! Streaming {game}: {title}", so why does it effectively display "<no game>"?

shy mountain
#

Do you have a game set at the moment?

#

make sure there is one here

rustic rain
#

thanks, i did :)
but now the bot doesnt react at all xD

shy mountain
#

Well that message is gonna pop up ones you start streaming

rustic rain
#

got it working 😃 had to restart obs

#

soooo if i am to play another game, i'd have to specify its name on my dashboard for the bot to recognize?

shy mountain
#

yes - before you go live.

rustic rain
#

i see, that helped me a lot
thank you very much for your time and have a nice day 😃

#

G'day guys and girls. I've recently switched over to StreamElements and am really enjoying the experience so far. My only issue is that my twitch host notifications don't show. I Have set them up and tested them from the overlay editor and they work fine. They don't show in the event list in OBS.Live, but a sound plays and they come up in the chat. Is this a known issue? Any areas for me to check? Thanks in advance.

I'll check back in tomorrow morning. Thanks.

How do I add an overlay

deep birchBOT
#

@lament dragon 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

frosty lake
#

there is a green screen when i try to stream whats up with that

plain sonnet
#

@frosty lake
to set the colour format in OBS to i420. in OBS: Settings > Advanced > In Video > Colour format = i420.

Not sure if this is the correct channel but I am having an issue where my channel bot is double posting everything in the chat.

So I need some help with my obslive. I added the media request widget to my overlays. I see it in my stream just fine. It can't be heard through the stream though. I looked at the tutorial on SE website, and it said that when I click show on stream a source would pop up for media request. That is not happening and I can't seem to find a work around. Help?

#

Anyone? :/

odd kraken
#

So you added the widget to the scene, the scene is active in OBS and when you select show on stream it doesn't show on stream? Is there any error message? Where do you hit show on stream? On the website or in OBS.Live?

fierce moss
#

No, the widget still shows. But there is no sound coming out of it.

#

I can hear it in obs.

#

And in my browser. But when looking at my twitch stream, it isn't heard at all. It just looks like a muted video box. It still moves and you can see the progress. Just 0 sound in stream.

odd kraken
#

are the sound equalizer bars moving in OBS Studio in the rythm of the video?

fierce moss
odd kraken
#

especially the desktop sound bar?

fierce moss
#

it isnt

#

I realize i have it muted in the screen shot. That's so my buddy doesn't hear my troubleshooting.

odd kraken
#

do you have another widget open? Like in the overlay editor in browser? Is your desktop sound coming through?
Please try to open a youtube video in chrome and tell me if the sound is on your stream.

fierce moss
#

I do not have any other widgets open. :/ youtube isnt going through on my desktop equalizers either

odd kraken
#

Is any desktop sound going through?

fierce moss
#

No. I have a gaming headset on though.

#

Will that effect it at all?

#

currently the only thing i have muted is my mic.

#

still nothing

odd kraken
#

When you don't hear any sound from your desktop on your stream your audio routing seems to be wrong. Best to ask on the OBS discord for support.

fierce moss
#

Would you happen to know what that is?

odd kraken
#

I am not that familiar with audio routing in OBS Sudio. Best to ask the OBS Support.

is it possible to see alerts for both youtube and twitch in the same stream? I use restream.

@broken lava yes, however you will need to make alerts on both your YT and twitch accounts then add them to obs. the overlays cant be combined

graceful rock
#

thank you tadpole that helps a lot!

plain sonnet
#

np 👍

broken lava
#

ok so does that mean i would have 2 alert boxes? one for twitch alerts and one for youtube?

plain sonnet
#

yes, it means you will have either 2 overlay sources or 2 browser sources just for alerts

broken lava
#

perfect. is it possible to put my restream chat into a streamelemnts or do i have to do that in obs?

plain sonnet
#

that would be in obs. if you sign in with your restream details in obs you can have the chat there

sounds good. is there any way to download the template images. i want to download a starting soon background so that i can place it behind the chat but put the chat frame on top of restream chat,

zinc harbor
#

So I've been playing conan and using obslive. They can pick up my mic when I speak through obs, but the stream isn't picking up my game viop when I speak in game. I posted wrong thread earlier.

dusky mountain
#

the thing is i was playing Titanfall 2 on high just running in circles and it was dropping FPS but then i ran STEEP and ran the benchmark and it was solid 60 on all ultra settings

#

both games i have the FPS cap on 60

plain sonnet
#

@zinc harbor as far as im aware it wont pick up your mic when speaking in game because it there is no loop back from the game.
(when you speak in game you dont hear yourself back)

as long as obs is capturing your mic its fine

zinc harbor
#

I see ok thanks

plain sonnet
#

@dusky mountain we go by what the log says.

you have errors from GPU lag and bandwidth lag

zinc harbor
#

I usually use push to talk for obs so If I want I can just keep it open. I dn't want to trash my stream with background noise though.

plain sonnet
#

thats understandable, you can always add a noise gate to your microphone filters so your mic will be "active" when you speak. the higher the gate level the louder you will need to speak to activate the mic in obs

dusky mountain
#

so i read the article about GPU overloading and disabled the browser sourc (my alerts and stuff) and now im getting solid 60 in OBS without touching my games graphic settings

#

is this caused by the browser source scene itself or perhaps by the thing i have in the browser source (kappagen, alerts, follow goal, media request)?

plain sonnet
#

kappagen and mr is very resource heavy when in use. it also has to load even when not in use. the best thing for those is to have them on their own overlay and browser source in obs then show/hide when needed

dusky mountain

ok thanks for all the help

i'm not sure then - if you are getting the same thing on different cameras, regardless if on OBS or not

then windows? PepeLaugh

this is beyond us really - unless someone else who might know the answer to this. Let me see.

Why does this happen literally every single time I go to open an overlay for editing? Of course, it appears to freeze for 30 seconds while it waits to time out, then throws this message up. If I wait, it never unfreezes. If I exit, it says the page crashed and gives me the option to reload. This happens every time I open an overlay to edit. I don't have a ton of stuff on my overlays. Any thoughts?

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.

#

In the log you have messed a lot with the settings in OBS, so it is not that clear why exactly you are having the encoder ovleroad. Try to provide a cleaner log please.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

  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. Paste the link to the log file here.

Thanks @odd kraken . I made some changes and we'll see how things go on my next stream.

Afternoon! Imported my streamlabs alerts into streamelements. Every alert works except tipping. How can I fix this?

#

I checked in streamlabs to make sure it wasn't the alert itself. It works fine in that program just not in streamlabs for some reason

#

streamelements* I meant at the end of the sentence. Sorry for the confusion

remote trail
#

hey guys i purchased some overlays etc from own3d.tv and im stuggling to set them up could someone help ??

remote trail
#

all good all sorted lol

severe isle
#

Hi. I have problems with media request module, i hear double media requested but when in overlay i dont have video thing still i can hear in OBS itself

deep birchBOT
severe isle
#

Give moment, as i really dont see media request widget on obs

plain sonnet
#

you wont, thee media request is in your overlay, you are making sure that overlays with mr widgets in are not active when youre not using them

#

that gives you the double sound

severe isle
#

but what if I want show video?

#

because eariel everything was ok

plain sonnet
#

if the settings are correct then it will be fine. make sure you have the "show video" on

severe isle
#

welp

#

still problems

#

if i have "show on stream" ON double sound happens

plain sonnet
#

do you have anything else "SE" open apart from obs?

#

such as the editor

severe isle
#

if OFF its ok

#

and no

#

i have only OBS on now

echo tapir
#

@severe isle 1. do you use SE Ground Control? 2. Do you use SE OBS.Live?

severe isle
#
  1. I have it off 2. yes
plain sonnet
#

you have "show on stream" selected and your sound in obs is correct?

severe isle
#

its doubled

#

like

#

i hear normal and then double comes after 1-2seconds

echo tapir
#
  1. close it completly if not. Then double and triple check that you only have media source once if you have it as a seperate overlay, and make sure that you only have it on one overlay. Make sure that you have set browser sources to close when not active on all scenes as this could be the source to your issue
#

it might seems i bit odd but as we don't know your complete setup (virtual and physical audio devices and such we are just going through the basic. i've had this issue many times before)

severe isle
#

i could do screenshare if that dont help

echo tapir
#

do you use single or dual pc setup?

severe isle
#

single

#

on laptop more precise (HP OMEN 1050ti i7-7700HQ)

echo tapir
#

is your overlay composed of multiple browser sources or do you use a single

severe isle
#

had single

#

but then this happened

#

and i tried remove from one overlay

#

and do as separate

echo tapir
#

alright, go through the layer section of the overlay composer and make sure you only have 1 media request

severe isle
#

wait

#

if i have two scenes

#

and on other one is music overlay

#

it will affect too?

echo tapir
#

yes

severe isle
#

OHHHH

echo tapir
#

if you have the editor open you will hear music from that one also

severe isle
#

it fixed

#

thanks so much

echo tapir
#

that is what @plain sonnet said earlier 😉

#

but no probs 😄

plain sonnet
#

its fine, ill just be here if anyone needs me

@odd kraken, just finished a stream and after a bit, I was having the encoder issues worse than before. Here'e the latest log, after I followed the recommended steps from the previous log I sent.

https://obsproject.com/logs/bbg2RRVkNivSSihJ

plain sonnet
#

theres nothing really on there

glossy topaz
#

My last encoder lag/overload was 0.7%. Now it's worse after making the recommended changes.

plain sonnet
#

from the log i would say turn off psycho visual tuning in the encoder settings

glossy topaz
#

Ok, done. I'll keep an eye on it during tomorrow's stream.

my elgato was working fine ins stream elements obs. then when i opened it this morning it says no audio device selected! anyone know what could be wrong

proud laurel
#

how can i add widgets?

tulip hamlet
#

Edit an overlay in your account and click on the Widgets tab.

proud laurel
#

i cant see the overlays tab

tulip hamlet
#

"My overlays"

proud laurel
tulip hamlet
#

Your StreamElements account. On the site.

proud laurel
#

how can i use overlay in the stream?

deep birchBOT
#

@proud laurel 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

proud laurel
#

how can i crop my camera output?

shy mountain
#

@proud laurel click the source, hold ALT on your keyboard and drag the sides of the red box

tender fjord
#

hey guys 😃 since a while i have a problem with my output kb/s everytime i change a scene the output drops to 0kb/s and nothing happens when i stop and restart the stream it still is on 0 kb/s, i have to close SL-OBS and open it again, now i can go on streaming but i still cannot change the scene i have to cange the scene before restarting the stream. nothing worked so for, i reinstalled OBS, i run it as administrator, i switched through different server, i tried it with the original OBS instead the one from Streamlabs but nothing changes. my download is caped at 400 mbit/s, my upload at 12mbit/s over all time i have a minimum caped at 200 mbit/s down and 9 mbit/s up, literally good conditions. i'm out of ideas, maybe someone already went through this trouble and got solutions to help me out

shy mountain
#

If you are having issues with SLOBS, better ask Streamlabs' support.

tender fjord
#

ok

shy mountain
#

I've sorta seen this issue before - lower the bitrate a bit and see if that helps.

tender fjord
#

oh did i said streamlabs?

shy mountain
#

twice

tender fjord
#

sry i ment streamelements

shy mountain
#

download speed and upload speed are 2 different things btw

#

during streaming

#

you are 95% of the time using your upload speed

tender fjord
#

yes

shy mountain
#

and this kind of issue i've seen sort of before, so lower your bitrate by 500

#

and see if that helps.

#

If not, then best to ask in the OBS Discord, as this might be a more technical query than we can handle.

#

If it affects both OBS.Live and OBS Studio, then its a general OBS issue or maybe ISP issue.

tender fjord
#

yep it also droped with 500

shy mountain
#

if you change your bitrate mid stream, you need to restart the stream.

tender fjord
#

no i changed it before, started the stream, i wait a few seconds, change the scene, wait a second.. and it droped to 0

shy mountain
#

restart your router for like 5 to 10 minutes

#

let it clear its cache

tender fjord
#

i've already done this before, but yes i'll try that out

shy mountain
#

Then either ask the OBS guys or call your ISP if there is any upload buffer/bottleneck going on. shrugg

tender fjord
#

clearing the cache didn't help so far :/ i'll try out both, the ISP and obs, thank you for your time 😃

tender fjord
#

I have now tried empirically some sources in the scenes, by switching off individual elements, I finally found it. the separately added audio source, not the one you set up in the settings, drops the stream to 0 kb/s. but why does this happen o.O

shy mountain
tender fjord
#

:p

#

I just did not want it to remain open in the room, if I have already found an answer to my problem

graceful raft
#

Heyas, having an issue with Obs.live... I am using the chat feature, love it, except when i raid, once I raid, the chat switches to the raided channels chat, and then I have to shut down obs totally to reset it back to my own, is there a way to do it without restarting Obs?

shy mountain
#

Streamelements on top -> logout -> login

graceful raft
#

uggg that's worse, it resets my Obs layout, ahh well

shy mountain
#

Its a good idea to actually turn off OBS when you are done. Because it generates a log file and if OBS has been running for several days

#

the log file will get clogged with tons of information and if you need help and the log file is needed, it will have hundreds if not thousands of lines in it, making it had to solve issues that are shown in the log file.

graceful raft

#

So, I am getting throttled on Twitch however Mixer is pretty much fine. I can get up to 4350 rates on mixer but I am dropping down to around 200 on Twitch streaming.

plain sonnet
#

are the bitrate settings being changed when changing or are you streaming to both at the same time?

vague knoll
#

I'm not streaming, I am doing a bitrate test only streaming to twitch

#

I am actually incapable of a stable connection and constantly am dropping.

#

I previously was hitting 5k bitrate and stably. so I don't know what is causing this issue at this point.

plain sonnet
#

if its just bandwidth testing it would be best to test twitch then do a speed tester, then mixer and a speed tester. if it is down to twitch dropping bitrate then it would be best to speak to them

vague knoll
#

I have contacted them. I am waiting for them to reply really, I did the calibration inside of streamelements which is truly a god send and was getting 4350 on Mixer. I think it is a twitch issue entirely.

#

I just wanted to see if there was even a chance in here that something would help

odd kraken

Create a new overlay with the Media Request widget in it and add the overlay to OBS.

silk stone
#

Create a new overlay with the Media Request widget

#

how would I go about doing that

odd kraken
silk stone
#

I did not use overlays

widdget

#

widget*

odd kraken
#

When you first hit "Show on stream" an overlay was created for you in the background.

silk stone
#

yes

#

the scene

odd kraken
#

Then add the overlay back to OBS or create a new overlay and add this to OBS.

silk stone
#

but theres no overlay for media share

#

How do I add the overlay back?

#

its deleted

deep birchBOT
#

@silk stone 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

silk stone
#

and it was made by obs

odd kraken
#

The overlay is the overlay in the top left of your screenshot. It is called MEDIA SHARE.

silk stone
#

like how do I make the media request an overlay

#

oh damn i missed that sorry

#

didnt work

#

I selected the media share overlay copyed the url pasted it as a browser but not showing up

odd kraken
#

Set the dimensions like in the message of the StreamElements bot above.

silk stone
#

I did.

odd kraken
#

Can you show me a screenshot of your OBS please?

#

Have you hit show on stream after adding it?

silk stone
#

first off how do i get this to go away

odd kraken
#

Select Studio Mode in the control section of OBS.

silk stone
#

?

#

screenshot I do not see this

#

also what exactly do you want with the obs screenshot

#

as theres a lot of things to screenshot

#

';l.,

#

';'

odd kraken
#

Please show me the properties of the browser source you added the MR widget in. Please make your overlay URL not visible on the photo.

silk stone
#

shows up blank,,,,

odd kraken
#

Please set it to 1920x1080. After hitting OK please press crtl + F
Then hit Show on stream and see if the video appears in the preview.

silk stone
#

DOES NOT 😦

#

srry for caps

odd kraken
#

Is there any error message in the MediaRequest section in OBS.Live?
Have you enbaled the eye, so that it is shown on stream? Do you hear music when you hit play, are there signs of music in the equalizer of OBS?

tulip hamlet
silk stone
#

theres nothing @odd kraken and yes you can see it here :

#

@tulip hamlet yes I watched it before asking in here

#

I just closed and reopened obs now i see this

tulip hamlet
#

Please follow the end portion of the video where it explicitly shows you how to create an overlay and add a media share widget to it, and add that overlay to OBS.

silk stone
#

did that

#

got the new url but still shows

#

no active widgets

tulip hamlet
#

Except you didn't. I'm looking at your account right now.

#

You created a blank overlay with no widgets.

#

Or you forgot to save.

silk stone
#

i hit save

tulip hamlet
#

Congratulations. Now try it again in OBS.

minor magnet
#

Hi. I'm trying to stream right now and my OBSLive is only showing about 60% of my screen.

How did you do that.

tulip hamlet
silk stone
#

closing obs

#

and trying it again

#

nope.

tulip hamlet
#

Stop trying to play the tutorial video in OBS.

#

It's designed not to play it.

silk stone
#

well that did it

#

ty

#

I did not know it was not designed to play that one by default

silk stone
#

are there any videos on setting up tiltify with stream Elements? @tulip hamlet

tulip hamlet
#

Just two widgets you can add to your overlays. They're self-explanatory.
And please do not ping people. There's more than just me here.

dim roost
#

is there a way i can save the work like scenes/sources onto a file so i can just pop open it and every thing will be there

tulip hamlet
#

StreamElements is a cloud-based platform, nothing is saved to your computer or run locally.

#

Overlays are added as browser sources. There's no files, just links.

placid needle
#

so i feel like an idiot, i accidently closed chat in OBSLIVE and cant figure out how to bring it back up

Hey! For some reason OBS.Live and streamdeck arent communicating after streamdeck's latest update. Keeps saying that the OBS version is not supported and to update, but there is no update available

odd kraken
#

Try to reinstall or repair the streamDeck software please.

barren fog
#

Found a solution, looks like the newest update of OBS and OBS.Live wasnt sent to me and didnt poop up when I checked for updates. Reinstalled OBS and it fixed up!

tropic bough
#

i found here the problem, sorry!! and thanks

rugged quail

rugged quail
#

ok thankyou the auto update said it was the latest (new to this)

odd kraken
#

The auto updater in version 21.1. is not working properly. Please download the latest OBS Studio version and then install the plugin again.

rugged quail
#

Hi, done all that and same thing, the number top left has updated to 23.1.0, bottom right is the same, no change in circumstance, thanks

odd kraken

mossy falcon

hello sometimes when im using obs my monitor capture stops working. my main monitor capture becomes black screen and it would only let me capture my secondary monitor. only fix i've found is restarting the application but that brings me to a second issue where i have to unlink my twitch account and then relink it. is there a solution to either one of these issues?

odd kraken
#

What OBS Studio version are you on? Do you start OBS as admin?

mossy falcon
#

obs studio 23.1.0 and no do not open as admin

odd kraken
#

try to start it as admin. Do you get logged out every time you restart OBS or why do you need to log in every time?

rugged quail
#

That's done it thanks Benno

mossy falcon
#

reason i need to relog is because some of the docks dissapear and ill be honest idk which one is obs docks and which is yours. but specifically the stream info and twitch stats go away

deep birchBOT
#

@mossy falcon If you have issues with OBS logging you out of the integration all the time or not showing the Twitch integrations, 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
mossy falcon
#

ill try deleting it now

#

sorry im having issues finding the folder

odd kraken
#

Have you installed OBS.Live?

mossy falcon
#

asking a dumb question here that is the same thing as streamelements obs.live correct or am i using the wrong program

deep birchBOT
mossy falcon
#

alright yes i have that

odd kraken
#

Please check if the folder is truely not there. Have you deleted it maybe?

mossy falcon
#

im in the obs studio folder and i see streamelements in here but i do not see the plugin_config folder. I do however see obs-plugins floder and if i click in there i see obs-browser.dll but no obs-browser folder and no obs_profile_cookies

odd kraken
#

Copy the whole link to the folder and paste it in your window folder explorer please.

mossy falcon
#

doing it now

odd kraken
#

There should be two directory’s on your PC one is the installation directory and one is the settings directory. I think you are searching in the wrong directory.

mossy falcon
#

oh well ill let this search do its thing

odd kraken
#

Please search for the folder manually or copy the path to the folder provided above.

mossy falcon
#

holy windows was hiding the appdata folder zzz sorry

#

and it fixed the relogging issue ty sorry for the headache

odd kraken
#

Do you still have the issue with the display capture after doing that and starting OBS as Admin?

mossy falcon
#

the display thing seems to happen at random i don't know what triggers it so for now its working and i opened it using adminn mode and ill see if it randomly stops throughout the day

crimson steeple
#

hello i just bought my elgato stream deck, but it says this version of OBS Studio is not supported.. but my obs says there are no updates available

It should yes, but you can save your scene collection and profiles to make sure if you want.

rugged garden
#

Is there a way to add a stroke around text? Like an outline?

odd kraken

Not that I am aware of, but you can custom code it. There is a custom widget, which supports html and CSS. Or you can upload a picture and place the text in front of it.

rugged garden

Found it!

OBS.Live is just a plugin for OBS. So you will get the best OBS Support on their discord. I am sorry, as I don't know why the game capture is not working.

The default resolution for StreamElements overlays (theme and custom) is 1920x1080. Please add them in OBS at their full resolution and use CTRL+F to fit to screen if necessary. You can then downscale your stream in OBS settings > Video if you'd like https://i.imgur.com/6bWXxjR.png

@reef willow shut down obs or the media rewuest dashboard page, go to youtube, make sure the quality there is set to higher close youtube open MR
