gimme sec

empty skiff
#

damn

plain sonnet
#

no, that one is just to show single events all in one widget

empty skiff
#

yeah, guess that's why they wouldn't rotate as I expected

#

great, where can I find that widget you shared

Hi is ther a way to get uptime counter on streamelements overlay? thanks

trail ginkgo
#

cheers

eager barn
#

@shy mountain I tried to do what u said and still didnt work

#

might be confused

#

could anyone help me with doing the uptime counter from #dev-chat ?

eager barn
#

so i did a custom widget with the instructions at @shy mountain sent me, but does anyone know how to make it bigger?

tulip hamlet
#

Custom widgets are ultimately your responsibility to maintain. We unfortunately cannot provide coding advice. While you can ask in #dev-chat you're subject to the knowledge and limitations of volunteers willing to assist.

eager barn
#

@tulip hamlet I see, but i got the coding and it worked, I just dont know how to make it bigger? if u get my question

tulip hamlet
#

That's more coding. Custom widgets are entirely controlled by coding.

eager barn
#

ohhh

#

ok thanks man

#

didnt know

#

i keep getting a setup was not intialized properly error when i try to uninstall stream elements obs

tulip hamlet
#

Are you uninstalling via Windows or via the option in the StreamElements menu in OBS?

#

And did you already uninstall OBS Studio first?

wooden talon
#

yes obs is uninstalled, through control panel

tulip hamlet
#

Install OBS again, then uninstall OBS.Live, then you can uninstall OBS Studio again.

#

Since OBS.Live is a plugin of OBS Studio. So, it's probably trying to make changes to files that aren't there any more.

wooden talon
#

same error

tulip hamlet
#

Click that Show details button?

wooden talon
#

dm'd it

#

...

tulip hamlet
#

I'm not a developer and I'm attempting to find an answer for you at 5:35 AM. Please be patient with me. πŸ™‚

wooden talon
#

ok sorry

tulip hamlet
#

Can you try uninstalling through the option in the StreamElements menu in OBS instead of the control panel?

wooden talon
#

i dont have the menu

tulip hamlet
#

My capacity to help with this is going to be fairly limited. I've left a message for the devs to investigate the issue, but unfortunately I can't provide an immediate solution for you.

#

Though I can ask why you want to uninstall and if you were having trouble with a feature that I could help you with?

wooden talon
#

could i try to reinstall? i have a birthday stream tomorrow

tulip hamlet
#

Sure, feel free.

wooden talon
#

OBS froze and shut down mid stream, keizar suggested unistalling and reinstalling

tulip hamlet
#

That's interesting. Did you provide a crash log?

wooden talon
#

yes

tulip hamlet
#

Would you mind linking me to those logs?

wooden talon
#

idk how to pull a previous crash log

tulip hamlet
#

You linked 'em in this chat, correct?

wooden talon
#

pretty sure

tulip hamlet
#

I'll find 'em with a search.

wooden talon
#

its back up after reinstalling, not sure if the issue will happen again though

tulip hamlet
#

Looks like he instructed you to make sure DirectX was up to date?

#

Were you able to do that?

wooden talon
#

yes

tulip hamlet
#

Okay. If it happens again, please come in with a fresh log and we'll look into it.

wooden talon
#

ok

Can i have some help with making overlays please? I'm trying to move my stuff from Streamlabs OBS to Regular OBS and I'm trying to add my gifs i used from SLOBS to this Overlay Editor but i can't see the Gifs I'm adding...

#

when i emulate the Follow alert only the text pops up.

tulip hamlet
#

Have you disabled custom CSS?

rugged quail
#

idk, im new to this xD

tulip hamlet
rugged quail
#

ik the basics of making and adding alerts but the Gif I'm adding isn't popping up at all. should i have CSS on?

tulip hamlet
#

Not unless you know what you're doing.

gloomy brook
#

?A? can i ask somthing bout OBS.LIVE promblem here?

steel bladeBOT
#

@gloomy brook Welcome to the helpdesk! Please let us know how we can assist you today and a support volunteer or staff member will assist you as soon as they are available. Thank you for your patience.

gloomy brook
#

I hav a problem w/donation clip buffer is serious

#

there is no problem when i use Xsplit XD

tulip hamlet
#

Can you provide an example of what you're referring to? Because I don't quite follow.

gloomy brook
#

sorry for not good in eng

#

here is the example

#

as you can see, when i play the video donation , there are so much buff w/obs.live

#

there is no same problem w/ X split or, OBS.

#

only OBS.Live.

#

i'm using toonation , and Twip(usually Korean use) , both hav a problem

hasty basin
#

how do i change the chat bot name??

shy mountain
#

@gloomy brook what version of obs studio are you using?

steel bladeBOT
#

@hasty basin Custom bot name requirements

  • StreamElements bot modded and in chat
  • Active overlay with alerts
  • StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
  • OBS.Live or Ground Control open
  • Create a twitch account for the name you want to use or run the bot under your own name
  • Custom bot name doesn't work on Mac
gloomy brook
#

24.0.1(64bit)

shy mountain
#

@gloomy brook obs.live is not updated for obs 24. If you are getting laggy alerts i would suggest to go to settings -> advanced -> scroll down and enable/disable hardware acceleration

gloomy brook
#

or how bout downgrade OBS to 23 ver ?

shy mountain
gloomy brook
#

thx i fixed as downgrading , Thx a lot

dreamy notch
#

i updated my network setting in obs thro auto config...and now my overlay is cut in half any fix tried new source and scene not sure wat to do now tho

steel bladeBOT
#

@dreamy notch 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

Hello

haughty mason
#

So i definitely have Sound alerts working on the Overlay page on SE website... but they arn't playing in OBS... ?

shy mountain
#

Is the sound not playing only or the alert not showing as well?

haughty mason
#

the alert shows

shy mountain
#

Check your audio settings

#

if you are capturing default audio device in obs

haughty mason
#

i use my head set

shy mountain
haughty mason
shy mountain
#

If your default playback device in the window sound settings is set to headphones

#

then in OBS its good to set that to match to "default"

#

as obs will pick up the default one and playback any sounds to that device

haughty mason
#

put it to default still nothing ShrugRoo

#

tried every single audio setting... nada

shy mountain
#

its def. in your OBS' problem

haughty mason
#

🀦 It was on volume mixer

#

wtf i never lowered it

#

sorry πŸ˜… usually im tech savvy with atleast that but i knew i'd never lowered it, i never open volume mixer haha

shy mountain
#

I never open it as well, but i always check it i don't hear sound

haughty mason

@odd tulip create an overlay, if you havent done that -> overlay editor -> widgets -> alert box πŸ™‚ In the overlay editor you can customize your alerts

wet dune
#

hello

#

how do i change my video output to 720HD?

#

video bitrate?

rugged quail
#

@wet dune go to your settings in obs -> output -> set it to 720p

wet dune
#

i am now at 480p

#

hmm

rugged quail
wet dune
#

@rugged quail i cant set it to anything

#

output mode it says simple.

rugged quail
#

@wet dune wait, let me check, maybe i wrote the wrong tab

#

@wet dune my bad, please go to the tab "Video" in your obs settings

wet dune
#

@rugged quail also video rate is set to 2400 kbps.

#

what does it need to be?

#

ok

rugged quail
#

@wet dune for 720p? 60 or 30 FPS?

wet dune
#

default was?

#

not sure what the FPS is

#

but what would be good for a laptop.

#

so it wont over do it.

rugged quail
#

@wet dune frames per secound. You could also run the autoconfigure wizard of obs for the perfect settings tuned to your laptop -> top -> help -> wizard thing

wet dune
#

if i go to video tab it says: video output is current active. Please turn off any outputs to change video settings.

#

ok TY sir.

rugged quail
#

@wet dune you have to stop the recording / stream to change the output quallity

wet dune
#

ok yup

#

doing auto configure again now.

#

its setting the best things including 720p

#

which was not set there before πŸ™‚

#

@rugged quail++ Awesome Thank You.

#

no points system here? i see.

rugged quail
#

@wet dune no problem πŸ™‚

#

@wet dune we have loyalty points

wet dune
#

there should always be a points things(bot) for helping channels.

#

how does that work.

rugged quail
#

@wet dune open up your streamelements dashboard and head over to Loyalty settings in the Loyalty tab

#

@wet dune everything is explained at the tab

wet dune
#

ok thank you.

rugged quail
#

@wet dune no problem πŸ™‚

daring gazelle
#

sometimes when i steram ill lweave for 5 minutes and my headphones turn off which then stops the audio coming throught it from software unless i close down obs and restart it , is there a way to fix this

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle have you wireless headphones with a battery saving option?

daring gazelle
#

ye they turn off if idle

#

not sure how to turn off auto shutdown on it

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle does the brand offers a programm for your headphones?

daring gazelle
#

not that i know its a the turtle beach 500

wet dune
#

@rugged quail obs crashed, Retrying.

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle as the support team of the brand wrote is it not possible to turn off the autoshutdown function, you can only reset the timer by speaking into your microfon or playing audio

daring gazelle
#

strange because it should be hearing the audio from capture card to stay on

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle the issues could be solved by playing some music in your streams (just an idea πŸ™‚ )

daring gazelle
#

i a;so find it strange that i still have to turn on the power to listen with a cable

wet dune
#

@rugged quail finally got the 720P thank you SIR πŸ™‚

#

woo woo

rugged quail
#

@wet dune no problem, helping is my pleasure πŸ˜„

steep sphinx
#

Hi guys, my OBS.live has suddenly gone from 15% cpu up to 40% , is there a way to get it back down to 15% ? what could be causing the issue

rugged quail
#

@steep sphinx have you tried disabling Browser source hardware acceleration ? ( OBS -> Settings -> Advanced -> scroll down -> Enable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration uncheck the box -> Apply -> OK)

steep sphinx
#

I'll try it now bud

#

already set to off

rugged quail
#

@steep sphinx if you have multiple scenes, have you checked the box "unload if not visible" in your overlay layer?

steep sphinx
#

will check now

#

unload if not visible on each source?

#

or can you do it per scene

rugged quail
#

@steep sphinx you have to do it per source

steep sphinx
#

i think thats helped, its definitely pulled it down

rugged quail
#

@steep sphinx thats great to hear ! SEheart

steep sphinx
#

I'll let you know later if its all good when im live πŸ™‚

rugged quail
#

@steep sphinx alright πŸ˜„

fluid pagoda
#

It it possible to do Media Request on a 2 PC setup? Aka I have the video and audio play off my main computer, while at the same time having the video play off my streaming PC but with the audio muted

rugged quail
#

@fluid pagoda sure, you just have to enable media request in your obs.live on the pc you streaming on. also the bot has to be in chat

fluid pagoda
#

Yea but If I do that then I cannot watch the video, unless I have obs open on my gaming computer as well (Which I dont mind). I then ask, is there a way where I can mute the audio from Media Share on the streaming PC

#

Because If I mute it on one computer, it mutes it on the other

sinful flint
#

You could mute the audio for OBS as a whole on one of the computers in your Windows volume mixer

fluid pagoda
#

Yea, but Im cheap AF and to record all of my microphone audio I have to use discord on both computers since NDI cannot pick up my microphone. AKA The streaming PC system audio includes my microphone audio from discord on the OBS audio. Therefore If I mute it I have no way of recording my voice.

opal holly
#

Is there a way to make my alert bigger inside of Streamelements. I change the size in the position size area of my overlays but that just changes the alert box size not the actual alert

fluid pagoda
#

But, I found a way around the Media Share audio problem, all I have to do is mute the media share audio in OBS and have it play through the Overlay editor. Thanks though!

rapid portal
#

Stream Info is black

#

how do i fix it?

steel bladeBOT
#

@rapid portal If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
  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
sinful flint
#

@opal holly Not currently, at the moment only the text is scalable

#

That is, by default. Could very well be possible if you use the Custom CSS option I imagine

opal holly
#

Thank you for the reply. I don’t anything about custom css

#

But could I hypothetically put it in as a browser source in OBS.live and scale it that way?

sinful flint
#

Me neither sadly, but our code gurus who hang out in #dev-chat usually have a good idea

opal holly
#

Not the best solution but something until it gets put in

sinful flint
#

Yeah, that'd work

warm stump
#

can someone help me please i have a tournament in 2 hours and i cant figure out how to get two different device capture on two differnt scenes

plain sonnet
#

what are you trying to capture

finite vigil
#

sorry for asking if this has already been asked but my stream information isnt showing and i believe i have the current version of obs 24.0.1. any help i can get for this?

rugged quail
#

@finite vigil reconnect your twitch account in your obs settings

finite vigil
#

ok thank you so much!

daring gazelle
#

trying to add hype cup but not sure how to add it to obs

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle if you want a hype cut, you have to go to your overlay editor and add the widget "Hype Cup"

daring gazelle
#

if have one saved but its not appearing when i add it as a browser soursce

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle have you tried clearing your browser cache of your overlay?

daring gazelle
#

where is that in settings again

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle click on your overlay layer in your obs (rightclick), scroll down -> clear cache

daring gazelle
#

cant find it any

rugged quail
thin raven
#

how do you add extra tools it said you can add browser windows directly to obs to appere on the side

rugged quail
#

@thin raven you mean the widgets in obs? (Chat, activity feed, media request)

thin raven
#

yes

rugged quail
thin raven
#

THANKS

rugged quail
#

@thin raven no problem πŸ™‚

daring gazelle
#

i dont think i have an overlay just the image i added sepertly for it

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle for overlays you have to add them as browser source to work

daring gazelle
#

ok so i added cup link in broswer souce and have the box checked

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle which box checked?

daring gazelle
rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle thats good, oh now i see i posted the completly wrong picture....

#

@daring gazelle check also the box "unload when not visible"

daring gazelle
#

still not visable

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle but you added the widget to your overlay (in the editor)?

daring gazelle
#

ye i added the vup

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle and also copy pasted the link of the overlay as browser source in your obs?

daring gazelle
#

ye

rugged quail
daring gazelle
#

still nothing

#

not sure its bercause i added it to a blank overlay

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle that shouldnt be a problem, let me check something real quick

#

@daring gazelle try emulating a follower / donation / cheer / sub / host / raid event in your overlay editor, is there your hype cub showing?

daring gazelle
#

no didnt see anything

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle then try deleting hype cup and readd it in your overlay editor

daring gazelle
#

still nothinmg

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle have you tried moving around your hype cup? its normally in the bottom right corner

daring gazelle
#

oh it was out of sight

#

i moved it up and appeared

rugged quail
#

@daring gazelle yeah i faced the same issue when trying to add the cup, i was like huh where is it, i just added it πŸ˜„

Hello. By any chance is anyone else having a problem getting OBS's browser sources audio to be controlled via OBS only with OBS v24 update? It only seems to work with strictly OBS but not OBS.live.

#

With obs.live it says reroute audio to obs but the audio tab doesn't come up

fiery lava
#

correct volume for the browsers you open with obs are controllable. OBS.live plugin sends the sound AS obs

#

so you can turn down obs in volume mixer on windows

steel bladeBOT
#

@marble stirrup Make sure to β˜‘ β€œShutdown source when not visible” for all browser sources (all OBS scenes). If using studio mode, uncheck β€œSwap 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

#

@marble stirrup what music do you stream that after you done streaming won’t get muted????

marble stirrup
#

I live by what Alpha Gaming once said. if it makes stream quality better dont worry about it being muted.

#

dont worry about it till you get bigger

#

and if you are worried look up playlists of royalty free music like NCS

snow wasp
#

Is this on Spotify

marble stirrup
#

NCS is on spotify i believe, but im using the media request widget in obslive and i slapped a mix playlist of a song i like from youtube into it on shuffle.

#

if you get bored of one playlist mix you can switch to another one

snow wasp
#

Are you using stream labs obs

fringe yarrow
#

Need help. My obs live chat is now showing the full twitch website instead of the only the chat box. How can I reset it to only show the chat box?

placid fjord
#

@fringe yarrow In OBS, click the Streamelements drop-down menu. Log out then log back in again, re-open the chat module. Might fix it.

fringe yarrow
#

Worked. Thanks!

Its taking too long to add the undo button!

#

@inner hatch did you close the chat panel?

inner hatch
#

Yes. The browser seems to remain open in the background and just isn't visible, so reopening it doesn't reset the page its on

nocturne river
#

how do I delete the cookies

kindred fox
#

Follow the instructions above ^^^

#

@inner hatch if you click streamelements in the menu bar and click chat does the panel show up

inner hatch
#

Ah, I think I've missed out some info. Twitch's main webpage is actually open inside the Chat Dock:

#

So clicking chat inside the Streamelements menu just hides/shows it.

kindred fox

Well shoot.....

#

What about view >> chat

I’m gonna find out if the new UI borked something @inner hatch

inner hatch
#

Ahhh, cheers.

kindred fox
#

you just clicked the moderation settings and closed the panel @inner hatch

#

?

#

ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

#

yeah it's broken with the new UI

nocturne river
#

perfect

inner hatch
#

clicking the moderation setting will bring the dock to the actual main twitch website with all the correct moderation options, but there seems to be no way to get back to the normal chat

nocturne river
#

thank you

kindred fox
#

that might be an OBS thing

#

but probably OBS.Live thing

#

Yeah that's borked

inner hatch
#

Nah no worries, good now that you're aware of it

#

Its just a worry because it looks to require an OBS restart, so you wouldn't want to do that mid-stream

kindred fox
#

Nobody apparently uses mod tools in OBS.Live πŸ˜†

#

So if you fire up OBS again it loads correctly?

inner hatch
#

well yeah, most of the options are under the Activity Feed dock anyway

#

and yes, it's all good after a restart

kindred fox
#

oof

#

yeah that's a big bork

#

I'll see if I can get it in front of the devs

#

Not a problem @nocturne river

#

Help.When I type and send a message on twitch chat, I can see it appear in obs live chat & streamelements backend editor, but does not appear in the created Browser Source chat. Logged out & closed OBS, made sure browser source is on the top of the list. Any ideas?

kindred fox
#

what browser source chat?

#

Did you add a chat widget to your StreamElements overlay?

#

or are you trying to capture chat via browser source?

fringe yarrow
#

Yes i did. And yes I am

kindred fox
#

If you add the chat widget to your overlay, it will automatically display chat messages from your channel

fringe yarrow
kindred fox
#

Have you saved your overlay and reloaded the overlay in OBS? Why do you have chat and chat frame? you should be able to put all of that into the editor and only use one browser source.

#

You can reload the overlay by double-clicking it in the source list and towards the bottom is a button to refresh cache of current source

fringe yarrow
#

Frame is just the outer white outline. I saved the overlay in streamelements, hit launch, copied url, created browser source, pasted url.

#

I did clear cache.

kindred fox
#

And still no chat?

fringe yarrow
#

Nope

kindred fox
#

Can you link me your overlay url?

#

The one that’s used in obs

#

I'll load it in a browser and in OBS to see if I see chat

#

@fringe yarrow

dapper wolf
#

Have you tried refreshing cache of the browser source in obs?

fringe yarrow
#

Yes. Ors, any other way. dont want to paste that url.

dapper wolf
#

DMs

#

obviously

kindred fox
#

You can paste it

#

Or DM it

dapper wolf
#

uhh

kindred fox
#

Go ahead and DM it

dapper wolf
#

isn't that unsafe? to be publicly linking your overlay url...

kindred fox
#

It’s just a view

#

I could only see what it is

#

Can’t manipulate it

#

@fringe yarrow dm me the url

fringe yarrow
#

K

#

I pasted the url in a new tab and it is showing the messages I type. The only place it doesnt show is in the browser source.

kindred fox
#

Delete the browser source and re-add it

steel bladeBOT
#

@fringe yarrow 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 β˜‘ β€œShutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

fringe yarrow
#

Support ai πŸ‘

#

Dimensions were the issue. I changed the dimensions on the editor and also obs so that they matched, but setting it to 1920 x 1080 worked. Thanks for the help everyone

Glad to help

soft raptor
#

Hi, I linked my youtube account to streamelements via obs.live and would like to link my Twitch account instead. I can't get back to the screen to link an account, though.

kindred fox
#

@soft raptor log into the streamelements website with your YouTube, click in your name in the top left, and then click settings and add your twitch account there. Once it’s added click streamelements in the menu bar and log out and back in with your twitch login

soft raptor
#

Alright, I will try that. And while I am at it, is there a way to use restream with streamelements?

kindred fox
#

Yes

soft raptor
#

When I go to click settings and add my twitch account, it says 'Channel is already claimed'.

kindred fox
#

Is it not in the list?

#

When you click your name?

#

I did the same thing. SE staff has to do a thing on the back end to get your account correctly added to your dashboard.

soft raptor
#

No... i logged into streamelements via twitch earlier to play with my twitch account settings... ><;

kindred fox
#

Right. It generated a second streamelements account

#

It isn’t β€œlinked”

soft raptor
#

Seems that way.

kindred fox
#

You should be able to see it when you click on your name in your dashboard

#

One sec

#

Crap I can’t do it on mobile

#

Someone will get to it when the staff are online.

soft raptor
#

Alright! I'll be patient πŸ™‚

kindred fox
#

To answer your question about restream yes

#

You would set up your obs to stream to restream, then load both a YouTube overlay and a twitch overlay in obs. You’d most likely need the restream chat app to see the chats as I’m not sure how obs displays chats when using restream

#

But having both overlays loaded in a scene will show events from both platforms.

soft raptor
#

yeah that's what i did in streamlabs too, just would throw the webchat in a panel

kindred fox
#

I’d recommend putting twitch alerts on one side and YouTube on the other so you know which platform they’re coming from

#

πŸ˜‰

#

It’s all about organization

#

So in the overlay editor just set up like a β€œrestream” overlay for twitch and one for YouTube and put the alert boxes on opposite sides. I wouldn’t recommend an event list or β€œrecent follow/cheer/sub” because it will only pull from whichever platform you’re editing in the dashboard.

soft raptor
#

alright πŸ™‚

kindred fox
#

If that makes sense

soft raptor
#

It does, but it will probably take a bit for me to get the scenes set up again.

kindred fox
#

Tbh if you’ve got one, it’s just adding the alert box overlay for the other

#

Once they link the account

soft raptor
#

Is there anywhere I should be poking a staff like filing a ticket or anything or do I just stick around here? Just want to make sure I'm doing everything I should be.

kindred fox
#

Go ahead and file a ticket so it’s documented and staff can reach out directly

soft raptor
#

alright πŸ™‚

dapper wolf
#

when I open my media share, it goes to a welcome screen everytime

#

thus I click to continue and the widget pops out everytime

steel bladeBOT
#

@dapper wolf Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login

dapper wolf
#

figured it out, you actually have to click "leave tour" 4HEad

kindred fox
#

I’m glad I don’t use that

#

I just don’t use music

#

It’s too much of a liability

dapper wolf
#

wdym?

#

people requesting troll songs?

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

kindred fox
#

No, music in general with live-streams is a liability unless you specifically find public domain music

dapper wolf
#

oh ok

#

pretzel rocks helps with that

kindred fox
#

So I avoid it

dapper wolf
kindred fox
#

Yep

#

I’ve used pretzel but their app sucks for audio routing

dapper wolf
#

Inbuilt windows audio routing?

kindred fox
#

It doesn’t respect windows routing at all or even in-app routing

dapper wolf
#

how stupid

tender lance
#

probably been asked before but, im having the problem where sometimes my overlays load properly from Streamelements to SLOBS but sometimes they dont and its either just a black or white screen. I've made sure the resoulution is 1920x1080 and refreshed the cache but I dunno what to do from here

shy mountain
#

With the recent update to SLOBS, our overlays sometimes don't load at all in that software and just produce a white screen. We suggest using OBS Studio (preferably paired with our Plugin) for best results.

#

There is nothing we can do to prevent SLOBS from not loading our overlay.

#

(Side note - OBS.Live is not updated for OBS Studio 24.0.1 currently, so its best to use our own installer to receive the best stable versions of both OBS Studio and OBS.Live)

soft raptor
#

I sent in the email, but the first time I spelled my email address wrong. Wheeeeelp.

shy mountain
#

I replied to the 2nd email

#

and the 1st, but doesn't matter

soft raptor
#

OH shoot

#

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't even check my email, hahaha.

shy mountain
#

@soft raptor Done

soft raptor
#

steel bladeBOT
#

@soft raptor Account Merging - Please note:

  • Merging accounts only allows faster ways to switch between accounts
  • Merging accounts does not allow data sharing between accounts - different streaming platforms, different type of events
  • Merging accounts allows duplicating/sharing overlays between the accounts
soft raptor
#

Can you explain what that second part means? That it doesn't allow data sharing between different streaming platforms, different types of events?

shy mountain
#

Youtubes have subscribers

#

which is equivalent to twitch followers

#

non of the 2 accounts will show each other's data in the activity feed\

#

or share overlays together

soft raptor
#

oooh yeah, Orsuna was explaining that I should just have an overlay for both (in the case of using restream)

kindred fox
#

Because restream is connecting to two separate accounts, having alert boxes for both makes sense

soft raptor
#

Yeah, was just making sure I wasn't misunderstanding something πŸ™‚

frigid rivet
#

When I test an alert is it supposed to show in OBS.Live?

rugged quail
#

@frigid rivet if you check the box in the bottom "Show on OBS" then yes

steel bladeBOT
frigid rivet
#

then its not doing it

#

what am i doing wrong

rugged quail
#

@frigid rivet have you added your overlay to your obs source?

frigid rivet
#

as a browser source

rugged quail
#

@frigid rivet good, try clearing the cache of the overlay source ( right click -> scroll down -> refresh current browser cache )

frigid rivet
#

ok that worked for just the alert overlay, but the alert system for the phoenix overlay isnt working

rugged quail
#

@frigid rivet try the same with the phoenix overlay

frigid rivet

ok it works now

can anyone help me i have an i5-8400 1050ti what is the best settings so my stream wont have delay i am new to all this im trying to sort it ready for my 24hour stream for charity

shy mountain
#

there will always be a delay between you and chat

#

unless you live right next to the twitch servers and every viewer has 10gbps download speed from the server(thats like a fantasy, not serious here, but still there is a drop of thruth)

rugged quail
#

@drowsy horizon set your stream delay to real time or something like that, twitch offers a feature in your dashboard, i can sort it out, dont know how its called properly. But this wouldn't eliminate the complet delay

drowsy horizon
#

i try that know i normally have 30secs delay with game play and that but i will defo try it thanks

echo tapir
#

When can we expect an update to OBS.Live so we can actually use the new browser source audio routing feature that we got in OBS 24?

shy mountain
#

No actual ETA, but we are working on it

echo tapir
#

alright. hope you publish some announcement when you publish the update because i need the OBS feature more than the OBS.Live so uninstalling for now, hope you will let us know when it is out?

shy mountain
#

we will

echo tapir
#

So it fails at uninstalling ? is this because my system runs OBS Studio 24 and not 23

shy mountain
#

thats a good question

#

most likely yes

#

that or you have an anti-virus blocking the uninstaller

echo tapir
#

running windows essentials

shy mountain
#

heres a long treck - you might not like it

#

remove 24.0.1

#

install 23.2.1

#

then remove obs.live

#

then update to 24.0.1

echo tapir
#

will do πŸ™‚

shy mountain
#

IF the uninstaller for obs.live is still getting stuck

#

then also run our installer

#

to refresh the files

echo tapir
#

at least it will anmswer the "Is it because of OBS 24" question

shy mountain
#

and then remove

#

well yesterday i had someone with this issue and it never crossed my mind that it might be due to 24.0.1 thonking

echo tapir
#

I'm up for testing so I'll do the long route

#

installed OBS 23.2.1 on top of the latest OBS 24 and when i launched it OBS.Live askedd for an update. Did that and then ran the uninstall, worked like a charm

shy mountain
#

monkaCross πŸ‘

#

good to know

echo tapir
#

i just realised, as i run two OBS (using NDI OBS Plugin on game PC), i can just install OBS.Live on that system for now as I don't need the audio routing feature on that system πŸ™‚

yes the blue bell in editor

lets you test

if you hear double sounds in obs then you have multiple scenes with alert box you will need to right click on those browser sources in obs >properties>disable when not visible

When adding edited/imported overlays from the browser, what is the ideal width and height

thats default hight set it manually yep

No question too small tyty

google chrome use these plugins

after import finishes you will see all overlays here

Hmm, there is no plugin to opera maybe?

fiery lava
rugged quail
#

o, thx

fiery lava
#

chrome plugin

still crane
#

When we do all our configurating and importing overlays and adding browsers etc...to profiles...

#

Do these profiles save to the cloud

#

Or would they need to be backed up (local file)

#

For OBS.live I mean

fiery lava
#

backed up

#

the scenes/sources do not save to cloud

#

but the profile can be exported locally

still crane

Do you know which files/folder it is to back up

For example when switching computers, or travel

Oh I see export profile and import profile (file)

can I stream with Elgate HD60S on stream elements?

@keen salmon If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

@daring geyser wasnt any drops or lags in your game or also not in your obs? is your internet connection stable?

it happened suddenly.

rugged quail

@daring geyser did this happen more often or was it just once?

daring geyser

just once. after I quit apex it seems fixed

rugged quail

@daring geyser could just be a connection spike

daring geyser
#

if I send you a link to my channel can you check and try to understand what possibly occurred?

rugged quail
#

@daring geyser i dont have to check it, if it appeared once it was either your or the twitch servers connection issue. probably the twitch servers issue because you have no dropped / skipped frames

I even check the log after the stream there was nothing critical

@daring geyser then it was the twitch servers issues. You cant do anything about it, sometimes it happens

Last night @kindred fox gave the suggestion that I set up a separate alert box for Twitch and youtube since I'm using Restream to stream to both. When adding the widget to the overlay, I don't see any way to say which service each widget belongs to. Unsure if that makes any sense.

kindred fox
#

You have to be in your YouTube (inside streamelements) overlay and add an alert box there, then switch to your twitch (inside streamelements) overlay and add the alert box there. Once you have both overlays configured, you’ll add both to obs.

OHHH okay!! that makes sense now, thanks! I'm still getting used to how StreamElements handles different services πŸ™‚

"It" being the current bot tab under Custom Bot Name in OBSLive

When using the widget for alert box, all alerts appear and track correctly. Hosting for whatever reason does not work properly. I do not see it in my events, nor does it pop up.

  • Auto host events with at least 1 viewer - only from a channel that just went offline
    Note: If you see "X channel has hosted you" with no viewers on the back, that is considered an offline host or a host with 0 viewers, we do not show these.

@frail pendant no problem πŸ™‚

kindred fox
#

@true crow you don’t really need ground control if you’re running obs.live

true crow
#

@kindred fox that would explain the input issues, I'll unintstall OC and see if that helps

kindred fox
#

You don’t need to uninstall it, just don’t launch it

true crow
rugged quail
#

@true crow you have to connect your bot account in the custom bot settings

true crow
#

@rugged quail Aaaahh, that makes since. Thanks!

rugged quail
#

@true crow no problem πŸ™‚

Ok so I had the "good idea" to raid someone, now the chat is broken, I had to reboot OBS.live to get back my tchat instead of the one being raided, but now my activity feed is gone... help? gumsLewd

white crow
#

Hi guys,
Do you know if is possible to give a command for chat to trigger some "alerts" on my stream? For example, when I make a missplay on game, the chat use !salt and i activate my gif of salt over my webcam

rugged quail
#

@white crow you can do this with store items and then set up a custom command so the users dont have to write !redeem [Items] in the chat but only ![Item]

white crow
#

Thanks a lot πŸ™‚

dense dust
#

is there a way to add media share on obs without having to use the browser overlay editor

rugged quail
#

@dense dust not that i know

dense dust
#

thats unfortunate

dry sphinx
#

If you're trying to show the Video on Stream: No other option afaik besides the Media Share Widget for Overlays.

icy ruin
#

how can i change my chatbot's name?

steel bladeBOT
#

@icy ruin Custom bot name requirements

  • StreamElements bot modded and in chat
  • Active overlay with alerts
  • StreamElements tipping page in the panels below the stream (!panels)
  • OBS.Live or Ground Control open
  • Create a twitch account for the name you want to use or run the bot under your own name
  • Custom bot name doesn't work on Mac
rugged quail
#

@icy ruin do you meet the requirements?

icy ruin
#

i forgot that panels thing

#

I have noticed an issue I am having with OBS.Live. If I have OBS open on my second monitor (60hz) and I am playing on my primary (144hz). My games run at 60FPS, as soon as I minimize OBS.Live I am back up to 144fps. Any ideas why>

rugged quail
#

@molten mountain have you "lock framerate" enabled in your obs?

molten mountain
#

Where abouts is that located @rugged quail

rugged quail
#

@molten mountain let me check

icy ruin
#

now i did all the things but there is no button for custom bot name anywhere

rugged quail
#

@molten mountain hmm... obs probably removed it because i cannot find it anymore. If you have vysnc in your games enabled, disable it

#

@icy ruin obs live or ground control?

molten mountain
#

Disabled everywhere

#

So with discord open on my secondary I get 144fps, but when I swap to OBS it drops

icy ruin
#

carisus ground control

rugged quail
#

@icy ruin try relaunching the app if all steps done

icy ruin
#

oh ok

rugged quail
#

am i able to speak with a tech support about my song request issue?

i just switch over to streamelements obs, and i cant figure out how to get the songrequest to work

also i cant get my overlays and widgets over from streamlabs obs

@clear root streamelements top bar of you obs -> logout -> login

do higher bitrates cause higher cpu or gpu usage?

rugged quail
#

@daring geyser if you use x264 encoder -> CPU ;;; nvenc encoder -> GPU

clear root
#

@rugged quail done that. still the same..

steel bladeBOT
#

@clear root If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
  2. exit OBS (make sure OBS is not running)
  3. delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies

Hello, I have the problem that the activity feed is not updating and the alerts are not popping up on my stream.

steel bladeBOT
#

@pallid shoal Right click on the BrowserSource > Properties > Scroll down a bit > Refresh Cache of current page

pallid shoal
#

Thanks, I will try that

rugged quail
#

@pallid shoal for your activity feed -> Top bar of obs -> streamelements -> logout -> login

pallid shoal
#

Thank you both for the quick answers, but unfortunately non of these steps worked.

rugged quail
#

@pallid shoal then try this one:

steel bladeBOT
#

@pallid shoal If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
  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
pallid shoal
#

ok, I try, thank you

#

Inside the OBS profile cookies is a folder.

#

Do I have to delete the whole folder?

kindred fox
#

Yeah go ahead

pallid shoal
#

I tried all the above, but still the alerts (like host etc.) is not popping up. Only if I simulate them they pop up. Also the activity feed is still not updating.

steel bladeBOT
fierce atlas
#

@pallid shoal have you checked the Show Emulated events on stream option as mentioned above?

#

oh wait AnneFail I just read your comment backwards

#

is host the only alert that isn't showing?

#

i.e. did you specific test for things besides raids and hosts?

#

is your Twitch username Deleetia

pallid shoal
#

I have testet all emulated events and all show up, but on stream they don't appear if they are from another person or random follower. Yes, my Twitch username is Deleetia

fierce atlas
#

the reason nothing is working is because you did not add StreamElements to your channel

#

and then you need to go to your channel and make it a moderator

#

the bot is what enables StreamElements to follow activities

pallid shoal
#

I had the bot on my channel and removed it because I thought that might be the problem.

#

Three weeks ago everthing was working fine.

fierce atlas
#

without the bot in your channel none of it will work properly.

pallid shoal
#

ok

vagrant palm
#

how do i change the connected account on my stream elements for obs

pallid shoal
#

The Bot is moderator, a friend just hosted me for testing, but nothing works 😦

steel bladeBOT

@pallid shoal Due to changes to Twitch API, we have filtered out hosts and will only show these ones on your activity feed:

@vagrant palm obs top bar -> streamelements -> logout -> login with youtube/ twitch/ facebook

#

@robust geode Custom bot name requirements

snow agate

are we OK to update to the latest OBS yet?

fierce atlas
#

not yet! you'll know because they'll share a big update in #announcements

#

πŸ™‚

snow agate
#

OK, thanks

fierce atlas
#

Soon β„’

robust geode
#

Is the latest version 24.0.1?

#

I done all the steps @steel blade

#

Where does the option show up on obs live or is it mandatory to run ground control?

fierce atlas
#

the latest OBS version is 24.0.1 but OBS.Live doesn't support it yet and there have been some bugs with the overlays as well so it's best just to wait at OBS version 23.X until OBS.Live gets updated to match.

robust geode
#

What if I accidently updated already?

#

can I downgrade?

fierce atlas
#

yeah let me see if I can find the link

#

once that's done OBS.Live should work and you can finish setting up your bot

robust geode
#

I suppose I should uninstall my current obs first right?

fierce atlas
#

I don't think you have to? but I'm not 100% on that

robust geode
#

I'll figure it out thanks πŸ˜„ ❀

#

I need to be logged into the account created for the custom name to work? Cause I had it working, linked the OAuth token then logged back into my own account and it uses my own name now

fierce atlas
#

if you're using OBS.Live you don't need any of that, that's only for GroundControl

robust geode
#

I can't seem to find the option at all in OBS.Live though

fierce atlas
#

thanks Benno anneGood

I keep missing all these new helpful pins

I was trying to uninstall OBS.live and get the following...any ideas on what to do to finish the removal? Not giving up on the software just need to make several changes to my PC and want a fresh start.

deep kite
#

hey guys πŸ™‚ ! My OBS started crashing like at least once a session now, never had any issue for 2 years until now. I asked for some help on the OBS forum and they told me it could be related to the use of OBSlive. It's always happening roughly in the same manner, when I'm switching to a specific scene. But the crash may occur very randomly, it can be fine for 4h and then for no reason it just crashes.
I got the logs if it can help. I'm desperate, as I'm currently pushing for partnership and that it's driving people away BIG time because of those crashes.
Can someone give a hand :/ ?

dry sphinx
#

What version of OBS.Studio & OBS.Live are you using @deep kite ?

deep kite
#

both of the latest 19.9.8.457 for obs live, 24.0.1 for obs studio. It was happening to the previous version too (It started crashing before updating them, updates didnt fix it )

#

I did a 24h marathon this weekend, it crashed 4 times for example. Everytime I got those two lines in common in the logs :
15:51:52.037: User switched to scene '4. Rocksmith Play'
15:51:52.201: MP: av_read_frame failed: Immediate exit requested (-1414092869)

dry sphinx
#

Googling that last part as maybe someone else may have had that issue. Never seen that before.

#

So with that same code (-1414092869) most people are saying the stinger is crashing thinkRoll

Do you have different transitions for certain scenes?

deep kite
#

I was going to say that I didn't have any stinger but I do have a Fade transition, you know, from OBS

#

didn't think of that πŸ€”

dry sphinx
#

It could be it but not too sure. As 3 forums I found when people attempt to switch scenes.

#

So something in the transition thinkRoll

deep kite
#

it's definitely happening on a scene transition for sure, but always on this particular scene, and at random times

#

will try to remove it for a while and see if it stops the crashes πŸ™‚

dry sphinx
#

For sure. Hope it's just that 🀞🏻

deep kite
#

thanks for your help :). Will let you know πŸ™‚

dry sphinx
#

No problem HYPERSHAKE

@rugged quail Thanks it worked ❀

odd maple
#

so weird question .. i just started stream.. was able to do display capture on monitor 1 then clicked the eye to hide it and when i try to click it again it doesn't do anything.. this has been happening a lot lately ? any suggestions? i have removed and switched scenes and still nothing.

dry sphinx
#

Can happen. Only temp fix I know of is closing OBS & opening it again.

stoic summit
#

So I actually just installed obs.live and when I started it up after the install I got the OBS Studio 24.0.1 update

dry sphinx
#

Prob best not too as OBS.Live is not up to date with OBS.24 @stoic summit

stoic summit
#

ok

I just press "skip this version" so that it doesn't warn me every single time πŸ™‚

tawdry cypress
#

Hello, anyone can help me please, when i try to login with any account in obs.live, the window goes white like this

steel bladeBOT
#

@tawdry cypress If you are not seeing the OBS Twitch integrations and have OBS.Live installed, please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are on the latest and greatest version of OBS.Live
  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
tawdry cypress
#

i just did that and still the same 😦

shy mountain
#

Is this the custom bot login or normal login?

tawdry cypress
#

bot? twitch and utube login

shy mountain
#

Something is blocking the login then, most likely.

#

Do you have an anti-virus/malware software installed?

tawdry cypress
#

just window defender

shy mountain
#

Ok do these steps:

  1. Right click on your OBS desktop shortcut -> properties - in the "Target" field add this -> --remote-debugging-port=40404
  2. Open OBS(or restart if it was open)
  3. Open your browser and type in "localhost:40404"
  4. Take a screensshot of what is listed in the browser
    (Do note - the "target" field has to look like this: "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --remote-debugging-port=40404)
#

@tawdry cypress

tawdry cypress
shy mountain
#

Ok, click on that, and then make sure you are looking at the console tab.

#

Then try the login - it should show something.

tawdry cypress
shy mountain
#

Sorry, doing other things as well - click on the login

#

and see if anything pops up in the console after login.

#

If you want you can DM me the screenshot.

tawdry cypress
#

its k, k i will do that

i keep getting and encoding error when i switch scenes the box says "an error occured while streaming"

Hello. Im trying to get the media share to work for my OBS but when I click on "Take the tour" and enter a youtube URL, it just says "Please enter a valid Youtube URL". No matter what video I try to add there it always says the same...

shy mountain
#

Just skip the tour

spice minnow
#

But the tour is suppose to teach me how to activate and make it work. It gives me the widget and everything.

#

Is there another way to get the mediashare widget?

shy mountain
#

You still need to manually add the media request widget to your overlay.

#

you can follow along this video

#

the MR dock in OBS.Live is essentially this

#

but a little bit different look

gentle venture
#

what do i do to resolve my issue

rugged quail
#

over at info the Encoder start error is explained and there are some solutions for it

gentle venture
#

yes they were explaind i tried everything that it told me to and it did not change anything

rugged quail
#

have you updated your graphics driver?

gentle venture
#

yes it is currently up to date

steel bladeBOT
shy mountain
#

Also did you sent in a ticket? @gentle venture

#

Because you will get the same response as I'm giving you here.

gentle venture
#

that is a very rude response i came here for help and this is the responce i get

shy mountain
#

Ok let me go into more details as to why you will receive the same response:
This issue is more technical and related to OBS Studio then our plugin OBS.Live. its best to ask in the OBS discord for help. As for the same response - if you want to waste time, you can provide me with the log file in the ticket as well, then I will send you the same response with the log analyzed, you will then ask, how exactly to fix it(which by the analyzer it says, you will need to update some drivers), then I will state the obvious solution in the analyzer, you will come back in the ticket saying that didn't help and I will send you again to the OBS discord.

#

Short version? Contacting us via Discord and our ticket system, can create a lot of confusion, if the person on the ticket system is not paying attention to Discord support as well and if someone else is handling help in the Discord.

bleak bear
#

hey team i am having a problem, when i have streamElements obslive open then i open a game it stuff up the game audio have you got an idea on how to fix this? let me know if you need more info

#

Also when obslive is closed the game sounds are fine

shy mountain
#

"it stuff up the game audio" - i'm not sure i understand what this mean @bleak bear

bleak bear
#

when i load up a game when obslive is open the game audio doesnt play sound center of the screen and anything not on screen but will play sounds to the right and left of the camera its very weird cause when obslive is closed and i load a game up the game sounds are normal.

fierce atlas
#

@bleak bear can you explain what you mean about sounds playing to the center, right, and left of the camera? audio comes through the speakers or headphones, not visually related to the camera so your question is still a bit confusing

bleak bear
#

yeah sorry i am trying to think of how to explain it through text

fierce atlas
#

you can also share a screenshot

dapper wolf
#

chat settings in obs live are broken for me

shy mountain
#

Ok. Noted. Now if only we had more info to go on Thinkies

dapper wolf
steel bladeBOT
#

@dapper wolf Streamelements on top of OBS -> Logout -> login

dapper wolf
#

That worked, but my only issue with relogging; is that it resets the layout of my panels every time

#

Are there any plans to fix this?

shy mountain
#

yes

#

no ETA

bleak bear
#

i cant screen shot the problem cause its an audio problem is there any way i could voice chat to explain it that way

shy mountain
#

Record the process with audio

bleak bear
#

ok thanks will do

steep sphinx

hi guys, after a recent update my CPU to obslive has gone through the roof. Its near enough doubled its usage. Is there a way to pull it back down?

quasi snow
#

settings > advanced > disable hardware acceleration

steep sphinx
#

i've disabled it but it doesnt help that much :/

quasi snow
#

did you tick shutdown while not visible on all browser sources on all scenes as well?

#

!add

steel bladeBOT
#

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 β˜‘ β€œShutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

steep sphinx
#

yeah @quasi snow . Having no luck with it 😦

rugged quail
#

@steep sphinx on which obs version are you on?

shy mountain
#

and obs studio version

steep sphinx
#

19.9.8457

rugged quail
#

@steep sphinx this is probably the obs.live version, look at the top left of you obs window, which version stands there? 24.0.1 or 23.2.1?

steep sphinx
#

24.0.1

shy mountain
#

I would strongly recommend downgrading back to 23.2.1 if you want to use OBS.Live

#

OBS.Live is not updated for 24.0.1

#

just find 23.2.1 installer

#

install it and OBS.Live will want an update

#

but skip the OBS Studio update

steep sphinx
#

would i need to redo all of my scenes etc?

shy mountain
#

no

steep sphinx
#

do i uninstall my current one?

shy mountain
#

if you want to

#

but make sure you DON'T choose the option to delete profiele data

#

i repeat DO NOT CHOOSE THE OPTION!

#

else all your scenes will be deleted

steep sphinx
#

right so ive skipped the obs update, do i update the obs live?

shy mountain
#

yes

steep sphinx
#

still no luck mate

shy mountain
#

Now enable hardware accel.

steep sphinx
#

still high

#

when i get ( or test ) an alert it goes from 30% to 50% cpu

shy mountain
#

Where are you looking?

#

In Task manager?

steep sphinx
#

bottom right next to LIVE and REC

#

it makes my alert go to like 5fps when its 60 😦

shy mountain
#

Thats not a real indicator of CPU usage.

steep sphinx
#

just on my game scene, task manager shows cpu from obs at 46%

shy mountain
#

whats your CPU?

steep sphinx
#

when i test an alert it shows that it goes up to 75%

#

erm, how do i check

shy mountain
#

Task manger -> performance

steep sphinx
#

intel core i7 7700HQ 2.80GHz

shy mountain
#

are you on a laptop?
