#

And there's nothing to do? Like adding another source of audio from somewhere?

acoustic goblet
#

I set a font for some text in Se overlay editor but it doesnt show like that in obs browser source overlay. Any ideas/fixes?

#

do i need to have that font installed in windows?

fiery lava
#

@dense oriole one thing you could try...let me get it worked out

#

all fonts are loaded from google fonts sometime some fonts have trouble loading from google, try using a different font

#

@dense oriole your overlay with media request if you right click and go to properties and route through obs

acoustic goblet
#

is there a way to reload it? both nunito and oxygen dont appear to work

fiery lava
#

it should give you an audio track you can control in obs

#

you can always try refreshing your overlays inside obs >right click browser>properties>scroll down>refresh cache | if that doesnt work not much more that can be done outside of changing fonts for now

frigid urchin
#

whats the best way to import export scenes and sources from one computer to another?

fiery lava
#

profile export

frigid urchin
#

Im having some problems using the import export from scene collection menu

#

tried the profile export and its not working either

fiery lava
#

you will need the sources to be in the same folders on the new computer for export/import to work on new computer

frigid urchin
#

how do I check if its going to the same folder or not?

fiery lava
#

if you have assets on your computer your using in obs they will need to be in same spot

frigid urchin
#

it should be all the same

#

Everything is default

#

for some reason some scenes are just not working

dreamy tide
#

idk how to capture my vr screen

frigid urchin
#

Looks like I just need to set everything back up from scratch. Please guys get settings on the cloud like SLOBS

steel bladeBOT
fiery lava
#

if your overlay is setup in the cloud you only need to re add the browser source @frigid urchin

frigid urchin
#

Thanks @fiery lava

jaunty drift
#

my obslive is struggling to get 30fps

fiery lava
#

hey

jaunty drift
#

hey

fiery lava
#

obs 24.0.3

jaunty drift
#

already up to date

fiery lava
#

ok

steel bladeBOT
#

@jaunty drift Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

#

@jaunty drift 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. Copy the URL and paste the link here.

(Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+)

fiery lava
#

this is just so we can see what might be happening.

jaunty drift
#

ok

#

ima see

#

there

fiery lava
#

are you trying to stream and record?

jaunty drift
#

stream

fiery lava
#

do you have more than one game capture in your scenes?

jaunty drift
#

i have that

#

and one for chrome

#

like if switch scences to look at something on chrome on stream

fiery lava
#

so for the other game captures you can disable when not visible

jaunty drift
#

alr

i will see if it works

#

fiery lava
#

jaunty drift
#

fiery lava
#

jaunty drift

Hello everyone. I currently use streamlabs. I want to try out Streamelements. I tried importing my overlays but cant get it to work. Do I have to setup all new scenes and sources?

#

Ive got the alerts working, I was just trying to get my overlays in

#

I am trying to rebuild my overlays but my header and facecam are over the 30mb size. Any way to get them uploaded?

thorny pilot
#

okay i need some help here im trying to set up alerts on my obs live

#

had to download obs studio and everything

lone depot
#

@thorny pilot I think nobody is here. Ive been trying to get help for 30mins lol

thorny pilot
#

oh god xD

kindred fox
#

@lone depot your files are most likely too large to import. You'll need to compress them before they will import

steel bladeBOT
rugged quail
#

When someone host or raids in my chat The Alerts dont pop up on screen

steel bladeBOT
#

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

  • All hosts coming from an online channel with at least 1+ viewer
  • 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.

Hey guys, Long story short I moved to mixer and gave slobs another chance to be my streaming software of choice.... (BIG MISTAKE). The platform is more buggy and crap than it has ever been but they seem to intergrate with mixers features pretty easily. I want to come back to using stream elements for mixer. Is there a way to intergrate sparks and mixer features with SE? Thanks in advance for the help

kindred fox
#

@rare turret Not currently. Unfortunately you're stuck with StreamLabs for a little while longer until Mixer integration becomes available.

rare turret
#

@kindred fox do we have an eta because i literally can not stand slobs. Its impossible to work with, poor support and money driven... I hate it 😒

kindred fox
#

We completely understand. We are not informed of the development timeline, so we can't give you any insight. I know that it has been on the roadmap for a year, but with all of the changes Twitch just made, they do have to focus their priorities to support some of the new functionality Twitch just rolled out. Development does also take time because they don't want to leave Mixer users with limited functionality, so they need to make sure they have everything working and perfect before it goes live. As soon as something is public it will go in the #announcements channel

rare turret
#

Thanks

kindred fox
#

I wish I had a better answer, but there isn't one at the moment. 😦

daring gazelle
#

my slobs seem to slow down alot sometimes like it will takew a full minute untill i can click on something for options

rare turret
#

@kindred fox thats fine as long as there is light at the end of the tunnel I can have some hope lol

kindred fox
#

@daring gazelle If your slobs is slowing down you'll need to get support from slobs discord

fresh fable
#

so currently running some tests on stream, was wondering how i can have the in game volume included in the recording/stream?

fresh fable
#

@kindred fox i switched the outputs and all for discord but on stream, my viewers can barely hear who's in my discord. How do i fix that?

kindred fox

That might help you

idle stream
#

i have a streaming problem question ide like to be resloved if possible

dire vapor
#

Streamed the new call of duty 2 days in a row no issue. Today I open Streamelements to once again go live but it wont pick up the game capture any longer. Display capture only picks up my 2 monitors even when I switch the ports around and I dont want to play the game in windowed for a window capture. How do I go about fixing the game capture to pick up the game instead of a black screen. It still shows the game is selected but theres no image showing.

i updated the plugin and now my obs is running weird and taking forever to load my sources and stuff and freezing

kindred fox

Obs settings >> advanced >>> disable hardware acceleration

what does that do?

Test it and see if it fixes your issues

If it doesn’t

Sorry

#

Consider this bold of me, but who here knows OBS like they know their own face? I need some insight/help that I feel this server might have. I’m running a Dual-pc stream setup, and the "Stream Pc" is basically a Frankenstein of an old Alienware x51 R2 and Dell Optiplex 390 parts.
CPU: I7-4770 @3.4Ghz
GPU: GTX 1650
RAM: 16gb DDR3
here’s the kicker; it comes with that Intel Graphics 4600 software that the PC labels " GPU 0", and the GTX1650 is labeled as "GPU 1" in the task manager. So, in OBS settings, which do I put in the Settings>Output>Advanced output mode>Streaming tab? Internet speed is not a problem, and I’m using NDI to transfer picture/audio from Gaming PC to Stream PC.
^any help would be greatly appreciated.

misty wagon
#

EHmm okay I ran into a little problem.
When I used browser sources the moment i switch scene it has like a 1 second loading delay when the scene becomes active.

Any idea where this comes from ? (PC hardware shouldn't be the bottle neck. i7-8700k, 16GB ram, GTX 1080)

plain sonnet
#

loading overlays is expected as it needs to download everytime it loads.

you have a few options,
either have it not close when you switch scenes (this can cause issues depending what widgets you have on your overlay)

use studio mode to pre load it (this will only reduce by a small amount)

use a stinger transition to hide the load

misty wagon
#

Well I have the stringer transition but it load like after the stringer is done

#

like a 1 second delay

#

I will see if your first suggestion will work

tame trail
#

My Browser overlays has stop working does it have anything to do with the new update and my cpu was very high when i was streaming from streamelents obs. Can anyone help me with my overlay cant get them working ?

fathom cobalt

@tame trail Try enabling Browser Source Hardware Acceleration in Settings>Advanced.

#

Is there a way to adjust the Win/Loss of the !gamble command? I have noticed that about 90% of the time it results in a Loss.... and that is not fun for my viewers. I would very much like to adjust it to be about 50/50% chance

its part of the OBS live Chatbot. Does this have anything to do with Twitch?

Heyo! I've added custom fonts in my overlay editor and they aren't showing up on the browser source in obs, do I have to change something for that to work?

#

As well, I've added custom alert files to alert box and for some reason it works one time & then resets to default. . .

steel bladeBOT
#

@teal wyvern Google Fonts
More than 900 google fonts are supported at this time. You can preview them here: https://fonts.google.com/

Custom Fonts

Steps:

  1. Install the font on the streaming PC or choose a pre-installed windows font.
  2. In the overlay widget settings, select Text Settings
  3. Enable Custom Font
  4. Type the name of the font as it appears in the windows font directory (This is usually C:\Windows\Fonts)

Note: After installing fonts, the browser and OBS must be restarted for the font to appear.

Hello! I can't install OBS Studio, its just failed to download in very begining πŸ˜’

is there anyway to make TTS louder than it is? I maxed it out on SE overlay editor (alertbox) but its still not loud enough

rotund sun
#

guys is there a problem with last update? before and after take a lot to switch between scenes

rugged quail
#

I'm bug on my game with last update, yesterday i didn't have bug

#

Hey! When I set my streamelements overlays up, sometimes the backgrounds are transparent. Why's that?

wary dew
#

because that is how overlays work

rugged quail
#

Thats not what i mean lol

wary dew
#

you put them over things, so you want to see the stuff on the screen

rugged quail
#

This is it, and the video in the bg doesnt show

wary dew
#

in the white area?

rugged quail
#

nope. I know how these work, I've been using them for a while and stuff. I mean the video in the bg, with the yellow-black-purple colors

#

Its bugged for some reason. Sometimes the widget BGs doesnt show upo

#

up

wary dew
#

this is what i see

rugged quail
#

Exactly

wary dew
#

which browser do you use?

rugged quail
#

Google Chrome. But its bugged in obs

wary dew
#

πŸ€”

rugged quail
#

So I see exactly what you do in the Chrome.

#

But In OBS, let me screen shot it

wary dew
#

it works for me in OBS

rugged quail
#

Sadly that is what I see

wary dew
#

one moment

rugged quail
#

Thank you so much! πŸ˜„

#

You are the best!:)

wary dew
#

no problem

#

you should always tick that box πŸ˜‰

rugged quail
#

I'll from now on πŸ™‚

rotund sun
#

and for the overlay that doesn't work in transition?

wary dew
#

you have lag when switching scenes?

rotund sun
#

sometimes lag, other times the overlay don't load

steel bladeBOT
#

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

wary dew
#

maybe that helps

#

or try to use studio mode maybe?

#

in obs

rotund sun
#

if i refresh it goes live, but then in transition he goes black... closing or not the souce inside the preference

wary dew
#

i don't know if i know enough to help you with that sorry

rotund sun
#

np... is there a way to revert the update maybe?

sleek salmon
#

hey I updated obslive and now my scenes got screwed

#

I still have 3 of them but theyre from like 3 months ago before I updated all of my scenes

#

is there anyway to get my other scenes back from before I had the update or are they gone

wary dew
#

<@&382267076632379392> their seem to be a lot of problems with scenes today after the update. maybe look in to it?

sleek salmon
#

^ ye

#

do you know if theres any way to get back my scenes though? if not all good just wondering @wary dew

#

It wont take too long to set it all back up, its just a hassle I dont want to have to do lol

dry sphinx
#

Is it under another Profile by chance in OBS?

sleek salmon
#

no, my other profile is gone

#

its like it reverted to 3 months ago when I was first using obslive

#

maybe 2 months idk, I dont think it really matters though

#

now my scene collection and my profile are both untitled

#

when they used to be profile: BluShady and Scene collection: Normal Stream

dry sphinx
#

What about in the folder for OBS: %appdata%/obs-studio/basic ?

sleek salmon
#

how do I check that

dry sphinx
#

If it shows your profile / scenes. Otherwise I'll have to ask staff to ask the devs. They're usually off on the weekends which I won't get an a immediate response

#

You should be able to check in your Storage settings where you can search OBS & find File location

sleek salmon
#

I still have some of my old scenes which is why im confused

#

its just my new ones that I had for awhile are gone

#

ill check there now

#

do I check obs or obslive

#

also its not letting me check them lol

sleek salmon
#

I cant find my game capture anywhere MonkaS

#

Ive tried making new ones and everything

#

its just

#

not there

wary dew
#

it seems that you are not the only one at the moment

sleek salmon
#

its recognising the game and working, but its not showing up on the preview

#

FR jesus christ

wary dew
#

sleek salmon
#

so I cant stream

wary dew
#

@steep forge has a similar problem

sleek salmon
#

big ree

wary dew
#

i think it's OBS related and i saw a few more of these earlier this week

#

maybe try the search funtion to see if a solution has been given

#

(i don't know enough about this to help unfortunately)

sleek salmon
#

all g

#

do you know if theres any way to download scene collections so I dont have to reset this all up if it gets fucked again @wary dew

#

because Im almost done resetting everything up

plain sonnet
#

scene collection > export
profile > export

sleek salmon
#

thank you

#

Hello everyone! Has/is anyone else having issues with Media Request loading in OBS.Live? Mine is just showing the background color of the page and that's it.

rotund sun
#

@stable basin is a general problem of the last update 😦

steel bladeBOT
#

@stable basin 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
stable basin
#

@rotund sun so that means no streams for now until this is fixed?

#

@graceful rose yup. same as you

rotund sun
#

you can? naaa... i solved the problem a little bit checking the "close when the source is not visible"

#

it will take a while to load anyway... mods suggest to go with obs studio so you can "preload" the overlay before the transition

stable basin
#

@rotund sun thanks for your help!

rotund sun
#

it's not a solution btw... if it continue this way i will try to unistall obs.live until a patch

graceful rose
#

yeah it sucks when you are using keys to control media request pause/volume/play/viewer requests etc.

rotund sun
#

@graceful rose i hope they will fix those bugs... it's usefull obs.live

graceful rose
#

completely

stable basin
#

I really hope they fix it soon. I dont want to use SLOBS

graceful rose
#

Dude

#

Update out now

#

It loads

stable basin
#

Really????

graceful rose
#

Yup, just tested

#

go see if it comes up with an update for ya

#

I just tried. No updates for me yet 😫

Custom coded widgets (even those in #widget-share) are ultimately your responsibility to get going and maintain.

tired falcon
#

@tulip hamlet are you talking to me

tulip hamlet
#

Yes.

tired falcon
#

I am using your replay buffer not a widget

tulip hamlet
#

Replay buffer in OBS is an OBS Studio feature, not an OBS.Live feature.

steel bladeBOT
tired falcon
#

Then why is it in OBS Live

tulip hamlet
#

OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio. It's not its own software.

tired falcon
#

so what if any is the benefit to using Live

tulip hamlet
#

Additional control of StreamElements features.

tired falcon
#

what would be an example of stream elements features?

tulip hamlet
#

Anything that is managed in your account on our site. The activity feed and stream chat. Media request. The bot.

proven storm
#

can i stream to mixer with Obs live?

tulip hamlet
#

Not at this time.

proven storm
#

what about just regular obs

tulip hamlet
#

OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio. If you want to get technical, it doesn't stop you from doing so, but StreamElements does not have Mixer integration.

proven storm
#

are you guys going to come out with the option to stream to mixer with stream elements?

hi everyone,
It seems that the latest OBS.live update is constantly telling me to update my drivers, though they are all up to date.

the previous version 23.1 of OBS works fine with the exact same setup.,

#

might anyone know why its broken for me?

#

@north osprey Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

north osprey
#

okay i can do that, though, i needed to delete the latest version to even start streaming

north osprey
#

okay, so post my link there?

thank you

#

well, i have done a clean GPU Driver install after using DDU already, so if that didnt fix it, should i just stay off the latest version?

tame zenith
#

Anyone noticing tearing and lag issues using stream elements? When I turn off stream elements i am fine. I play OW. CPU and GPU under 60%.

shy mountain
#

What do you mean by turning off obs.live?

tame zenith
#

toggling it off

shy mountain
#

how are you toggling off our plugin?

tame zenith
#

top stream elements drop down

#

and switch to obs

shy mountain
#

oooooooooooh right

#

that

tame zenith
#

lmao

#

really bad tearing my 240fps looks like 60hz

shy mountain
#

Well are you using the Media Request dock?

#

240fps..you don't need that much FPS beyond 140 imo

tame zenith
#

i got 240hz monitor

shy mountain
#

but lets see

steel bladeBOT
#

@tame zenith Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

tame zenith
#

and no just chat and activity

shy mountain
#

8000 bitrate on the NVENC encoder?

#

Twitch limits bitrate to 6000

#

and then you are overburdening your GPU

#

switch to the newest NVENC encoder and lower the bitrate

tame zenith
#

ive never had issues until last update

#

and u can go above 6k

shy mountain
#

This is a general tip.

tame zenith
#

the nvenc h.264 new?

shy mountain
#

yes

tame zenith
#

im already on it

tame zenith
#

The tearing is only on my end not my stream I forgot to mention that lol

shy mountain
#

only on your side

#

and only when having OBS.Live active?

tame zenith
#

maybe its just normal obs? its being really weird for me lately

shy mountain
#

Heres a long shot, but this is weird issue if its only on your side

#

Settings -> advanced -> scroll down -> enable hardware accelaration

#

Looking at how many sources you have

#

i assume they are mostly browser sources

#

thats a LOT of image and text GDI sources Eyes

#

why?

tame zenith
#

It was off I turned it on

#

Its just with preview on now i think and sometimes I have to minimize OBS to fix the issue withn preview off

#

I guess its something else I have no idea 😦

shy mountain
#

So now you see the issue with OBS.Live switched off

#

and on normal OBS?

#

I have 3 unanswered questions here NotLikeThis

tame zenith
#

yeah its fine with obslive on and preview off

hello everyone. im running into a few issues and im wondering if anyone could help

shy mountain
#

What are the issues?

errant sail
#

so im trying to add a background of a game so i can setup my overlays so they dont cover anything but its not scaling to the right size. (size of the preview window), and im not sure what i should have my stream settings set to for a smooth stream. i have a 7 year old graphics card.

shy mountain
#

And what sized monitor?

errant sail
#

where do i go to check that. i bought my pc and monitor off of someone. i think it was a 24w

#

*it is

shy mountain
#

24w doesn't say anything to me.

errant sail
#

ya its a 24in

shy mountain
#

I need the resolution set on your monitor

#

not actual size

#

in inches

errant sail
#

oh 1920 by 1080

#

sorry

shy mountain
#

then your game needs to match the same resolution

#

In OBS -> Settings -> Video -> Canvas Size -> 1920x1080 -> output size -> 1280x720

errant sail
shy mountain
#

Now, right click the preview window in OBS

#

Full Screen Projector

#

ALT + PRINT SCREEN on your keyboard

#

then ESCAPE to exit the full screen projector

#

open paint

#

CTRL + V to paste the screenshot -> save

#

and add the image in the editor.

errant sail
#

im like 80% sure i dont have a print screen button lol

shy mountain
#

are on a keyboard with a missing numpad?

errant sail
#

no

shy mountain
#

then the print screen button is just above "INS" on the keyboard

errant sail
#

gotcha thank you. just recently made the switch to pc from xbox. so still trying to learn πŸ˜†

#

btw is there anyway to move multiple layers at once?

#

so instead of having to move say the sub icon and words i just move the border with everything inside it

shy mountain
#

Not at the current moment.

errant sail
#

ok thank you.

jagged dragon
#

Hi, Why my obs live dont give me options for chat and activity box? πŸ™‚

shy mountain
#

Click on "Streamelements" on top -> chat + activity feed buttons

jagged dragon
#

Thanks. πŸ™‚

atomic pollen
#

Ok so what could cause the ridiculous amount of cpu usage while idle? (Happens every update)

shy mountain
#

@atomic pollen so when you have hardware accel on - on idle do you still have that high cpu usage?

#

also

#

7700k

#

doesn't tell me anything

#

for all i know you could have i1-7700k

atomic pollen
#

It did last time I tried I cant check now as I not home

shy mountain
#

or i50-7700k

atomic pollen
#

I7 7700k

shy mountain
#

Ok, so until we find out if hardware accel when turned on helps, i can't really suggest anything else tbh

#

usually it should help

atomic pollen
#

Last update that caused this I was told turn it off lol

shy mountain
#

i cant suggest anything else, if you are not right there infront of the PC to poke OBS right? kekW

#

last update

#

as to when exactly?

atomic pollen
#

Well it started 2 updates back it sorted itself I'm guessing then again on the next and then on the most recent one that came when I opened elements this morning

#

It worked perfectly till a few months ago I can estimate time scale wise

shy mountain
#

2 updates back is really far back tbh thonking

#

unless you are referring to like last week 2 updates

atomic pollen
#

It's been hit n miss the most recent ones caused the biggest issues

shy mountain
#

Well unless you've been told yesterday to turn that option off

#

i'd suggest to turn it back on

#

and see how it goes in idle

#

if it doesn't help

#

then we can move to other things

#

which means this can only happen when you get on your PC πŸ™‚

atomic pollen
#

Yeah sure I'll give it a whirl when I get home

#

Thanks

shy mountain

@exotic nebula What is this about?

#

Log doesn't have anything specific in it

wary dew

Your log contains no recording or streaming session. Results of this log analysis are limited. Please post a link to a clean log file.
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. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.

#

is there anyone here can help me to setting OBS capture discord sound?

exotic nebula
#

@shy mountain CPU usage is still very high

shy mountain
#

Is hardware accel on or off?

exotic nebula
#

i wonder what's going on

#

regardless on or off

#

still happens

shy mountain
#

while idle?

exotic nebula
#

while idle, yes

shy mountain
#

Are you on OBS.Live 19.10.24.511?

exotic nebula
#

yes

shy mountain
#

How many browser sources do you have?

exotic nebula
#

@shy mountain you meant the in-game scene?

#

or all the scenes included?

#

okay, think i solved the issue

shy mountain
#

browser sources - overlays for example

exotic nebula
#

so the situation is like this - I have 5 GREY scenes, and another 5 PUBG scenes. Each of them has one browser source. I removed the unused PUBG scenes and the CPU usages was lowered by a significant amount, now the cpu usage is under 5%

shy mountain
#

most likely the browser source in them was still loaded

exotic nebula
#

even though a scene was not selected, the browser source is still loaded? Hmm...

#

anyways, thanks for helping out @shy mountain

#

really appreciate it

shy mountain
#

sure

#

we are investigating this behavior and it should have been fixed

#

but was reverted from what I can tell

exotic nebula
#

or is it because of the PUBG scenes are too much to handle

#

HAHA

#

i mean, it looks heavy to handle in general

shy mountain
#

well

#

you are saying scenes

#

and not sources

#

so that is a bit confusing me

exotic nebula
#

oh okay i should word it properly

#

the PUBG browser sources*

#

you know, the ones that StreamElements provided as a standard template for newbies to add

shy mountain
#

yea yea now it makes sense

#

but yea, they've loaded even as hiden

#

and have been using CPU

#

we are trying to fix that, but as mentioned we reverted a change, as it caused other issues

#

and are investigating it

minor garnet
#

hope any moderator here could give my any advice regarding with capturing discord voice to obs. That's my current setup and no luck to capture discord voice. Currently i am listening my discord using SteelSeries with USB. Sorry if my question is OOT πŸ™‚

shy mountain
#

desktop audio should be set to "default"

#

unless you are using speakers and headphones

rugged quail
shy mountain
#

which program window?

#

you mean studio mode?

rugged quail
#

idk tbh

#

i guess

#

i just want the preview

shy mountain
#

click "studio mode"

#

on the right side

rugged quail
#

oright thanks xD

#

would have taken me ages without you

weary marten
#

Anyone experiencing issues with Media Request and Chatbox not showing up after update?

odd kraken
#

Do you see StreamElements at the top in OBS?

weary marten
#

Yes I do. It was working totally fine pre-update but I haven't been able to pinpoint the issue for 2 days now

odd kraken
#

Select StreamElements > Log out and log back in.

weary marten
#

The media request hub is there, i just cannot get it to appear onto my stream

#

Just relogged as well.

odd kraken
#

Have you added the media request widget to the active overlay?

weary marten
#

That's something that resets? let me check

#

It appears to be present when in my overlay editor, but if I actually go to the browser page it is a blank page that triggers my media to start but does not appear

odd kraken
#

So the media request dock to control the media requests is there in your OBS? What happens when you hit "show on stream"?

weary marten
#

It does not show on stream

odd kraken
#

Any error message?

weary marten
#

I had never experienced this issue before, nor have I made any changes that should affect this

#

None :/

odd kraken
#

And in your active scene there is the media request widget added to your overlay source?

weary marten
#

Yes, there is

odd kraken
#

You added another song than the example StreamElements video to be shown?

weary marten
#

yes I have :/

#

The music plays just fine, but the video nor player appears on my scene

odd kraken
#

There is another button to hide the video. Try that to show it again.

weary marten
#

No avail

odd kraken
#

Can you share a sceenshot of your OBS window please?

fiery lava
#

open your overlay in a web browser then show on stream | theory is overlay in obs is having a hard time letting server know its ready for media request

weary marten
odd kraken
#

Is the video coming up in a browser when you put the overlay url in a chrome browser and hit "show on stream"?

fiery lava
weary marten
#

Yes it is

odd kraken
#

Try to readd the browser source to OBS.

weary marten
#

Just tried that now, since that doesnt work maybe OBS setting got changed?

#

i have browser source hardware acceleration on, thats fine right?

tulip hamlet
#

Not often recommended.

#

It's one of those things where, "if it's off and things aren't working, turn it on. If it's on and things aren't working, turn it off."

#

Usually it's the latter.

weary marten
#

guess what.

#

^^

#

im so sad i didnt try that option before I came here 😒

#

it worked

#

now i just have to figure where my chatbox went

#

@tulip hamlet @odd kraken @fiery lava thank you guys.

#

oh, chatbox is back too. seems browser hardware acceleration was the issue!

#

I love you guys, thanks for the immediate response and help. Anyway I can return the favor to you guys @tulip hamlet @odd kraken @FriendlyNGeeks

#

hello

coarse stag
#

quickish question, can i play more than 1 game on 1 source? or do i have to make one for every individual game?

odd kraken
#

You can set up OBS, to capture every fullscreen application, like games.

coarse stag
#

so far ive only been able to capture 1 game at a time :/

#

unless we are misunderstanding each other

odd kraken
#

You want the games to be displayed sumiltaneously?

coarse stag
#

no that would be hectic

odd kraken
#

When I add a gamecapture and make it to capture the fullscreen application you have in focus right now.

wild bridge
#

How can I download the plug-in without updating to OBS 24?

#

OBS 23 and 24 drops alot of fps for me

coarse stag
#

im reading what youre saying and i understand that its able to work...cause it works for you...but i dont understand what youre saying

#

@odd kraken ^

#

im slow to learn and i need visual aid with hands on :/

odd kraken
steel bladeBOT
#

@wild bridge Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

wild bridge
#

i dont have OBS 23 or 24 anymore

coarse stag
#

oh, dur, it just doesnt seem to work for me, ill try it again anyway thank you @odd kraken

fiery lava
#

there is no repository for older obslive versions listed for public. I can provide a link to obslive for obs 23

wild bridge
#

Can I have that link? I'll have to try the first stable role out of OBS 23

gritty cloak
#

Hey, someone know if Media req will be available to YouTube is the future?

coarse stag

yeah, i dont knwo what it was but it was some where in my settings :/, i changed my profile and it works again

fiery lava

@snow agate try obs>settings>stream>disconnect then connect

snow agate
#

nope still getting the same error

fiery lava
#

lets reinstall obs 24 https://obsproject.com/download

snow agate
#

tried twice, still getting the error

#

should I be using 24.0.3?

minor matrix
#

Not sure if there is a better place to ask, but is streamelements supporting mixer atm?

steel bladeBOT
#

@minor matrix Soon! Not Blizzard Soon or Valve Soon, sooner then that. SEheart

fiery lava
#

that is the latest version

minor matrix
#

On that note, is there a good way to work around that without needing to swap over to streamlabs

wary dew
#

@leaden fog LULW

leaden fog
#

yes?

snow agate
#

@fiery lava yeah, but when I update but OBS.live doesn't work with the latest version

leaden fog
#

oh get it

#

oh Ruben you XD

fiery lava
#

what happens if you use the "switch to obs studio button" obs>streamelements>switch to obs studio @snow agate

snow agate
#

same thing

fiery lava
#

have you recently checked for any driver updates?

#

can you screen shot OBS>Settings>Output

steel bladeBOT
#

@snow agate Please provide a log from your last stream. To do this, in OBS go to Help > Log Files > Upload Last Log File and paste the link to the log file here.

snow agate
#

ok

fiery lava
snow agate
#

just updated the drivers for the 710, will see what happens

warm pewter
#

You can't use nvenc, it's unsupported by your card. Your only option is x264, but on a 4 core 4 thread 4th gen i5, I don't see that working out too well

snow agate
#

I'm live now

#

I don't stream games

warm pewter
#

Ah, yeah, should have a much easier time with that then. Happy streaming SEheartbeat

snow agate
#

just don't understand why things are working fine, then all of a sudden stop working, I've also gone back to OBS 23

violet musk
#

hey guys just update obs.live and now my scenes are solid pane of whit3e

#

white

#

i have rebooted and ran as admin same thing

tulip hamlet
#

Do you use Webroot antivirus by any chance?

violet musk
#

nope

#

comodo

#

it was working fine yesterday

tulip hamlet
#

Screenshot the behavior please?

violet musk
#

is it because i need to login

#

i click the login screen and it doens't prompt the login screen

#

just stays white

tulip hamlet
#

Something on your computer is preventing the connection to the login page.

#

Try disabling any antivirus/firewall you have running.

violet musk
#

nothing has changed on my pc

#

just the new install

#

so i'm going to have to do this each time?

#

an update happens

tulip hamlet
#

Well, if you figure out what software is doing it, you can likely add it to a whitelist.

violet musk
#

its website filtering

#

what is the website that it connects to

#

the sign in page

tulip hamlet
violet musk
#

With the overlay i copied the browser link but it is not showing up in OBS

steel bladeBOT
#

@violet musk 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

violet musk
#

nadda

kindred fox
#

Disable hardware acceleration by going into obs settings > advanced > scroll down and uncheck the box

violet musk
#

i got an animated live scene working on one scene

#

but another scene it wont load

#

if that was the case it would impact each scene i would think

kindred fox
#

Browser sources with hardware acceleration on use more resources

violet musk
#

3700x 2070 Super 32gb ram

kindred fox
#

Delete your browser source and re-add it

violet musk
#

got it

#

why would you need to turn off hardware accelartion

barren spear
#

I have a question about Se.Pay. Is it free? I know its kinda a stupid question

kindred fox
#

Because there's a bug in the chromium browser that breaks certain website things from loading

#

Hi all, my chatbot isn't connected to my twitch channel any ideas how i can fix this?

odd kraken
#

Have you invited to your twitch channel? Do you use a custom name for your bot?

midnight mirage
#

Hiya @odd kraken i was going to use a custom name I think thats where i might of gone wrong, I thought i could just put any old name in but i presume its like slobs where i have to create a bot twitch channel?

#

So i decided not to

tulip hamlet
#

The bot is in your chat. Make sure you mod it with /mod StreamElements

midnight mirage
#

Hiya @tulip hamlet the bot isnt in my chat unfortunately no 😦

#

I tried restarting the bot and tipping setup

#

still no luck 😦

tulip hamlet
#

It's there.

#

@midnight mirage Please keep all communication in the public channels. Thank you.

is there a way to re-invite the bot ?

kindred fox

anyone

?

hallow imp
#

So, I just updated OBS.Live, and all of a sudden my OBS is just showing blank white for all the windows. Twitch chat, the main preview, everything.

tulip hamlet
#

Something on your computer, such as an antivirus or firewall (looking at you, Webroot) is preventing the login from loading. Try disabling such things or whitelisting streamelements.com and try again.

hallow imp
#

It's even the main scene preview and now even the Twitch page window for connecting accounts. It was fine before the update.

tulip hamlet
#

Yes. I understand that.

#

This is a local issue.

hallow imp
#

My antivirus and firewall aren't blocking it.

tulip hamlet
#

There is something on your computer that is preventing the connection. While it may not appear like something is actively blocking it, you will want to whitelist streamelements.com regardless.

grand ridge
#

OBS was working correctly until i downloaded the Stream Element. Now the preview is showing correctly but on my stream its self is showing a black screen on twitch. how do i get this fixed?

tulip hamlet
#

That's... not even possible as far as I know. Everything in OBS should be visible on Twitch.

grand ridge
#

only audio is being broadcasted.

#

yet there is just a black screen

tulip hamlet
#

Screenshot your entire OBS window please.

So, I just recently got a new laptop and installed OBS, and when i try to add a display capture, it just doesn't work, black screen.
And when I add it in, it shows as the window being a 0x0 resolution in the top left corner of OBS
Tried messing with compatability mode, running it as admin, and forcing it to run on my GTX 1050 instead of the integrated graphics, and still, black screen.
Sidenote, I have a monitor plugged into the HDMI port, idk if that changes anything..

tulip hamlet
#

@dusk quiver Have you tried Ctrl+F to fit to canvas?

grand ridge
#

alright i will see if this is an issue from twitch for some viewing. Thank you.

So SEOBS just updated and now my cameras don't work... I've tryed deleting and recreating source, turned on and off pc, unplugged cameras, sometimes upon reopening my keyboard cam works but my facecam remains "broken" and even when keyboard mouse works, when I go to edit properties and select input device, it doesn't show the preview in the pop up window...

tulip hamlet
#

There's no such thing as SEOBS. OBS.Live is a plugin for OBS Studio. It's not its own software.

amber hawk
#

I was just saying SEOBS cause it's shorter then typing obs live lol

tulip hamlet

OBS.Live does not affect the behavior of video capture sources.

Hello, the last couple months my subs have not been coming through on streamelements on obs and curious on how to fix this. and 2nd question is will there be an overlay for the Destiny 2 charity event.

steel bladeBOT
shy mountain
#

I don't believe we have plans currently for Destiny 2 themed overlay

rugged quail
#

is there a problem on ground control? cant seem to open it

shy mountain
#

@rugged quail Do you see it in the task manager?

compact pendant
#

well not so much themed. just a small charity even i'm apart off and suck with overlays

rugged quail
#

yes

shy mountain
#

Kill it and try and run it as admin. @rugged quail

#

If it doesn't show up again, let me know

#

@compact pendant no plans afaik

rugged quail
#

no response

shy mountain
#

Kill the application from task manager

#

open a command prompt

#

and run this: del %homepath%\.se-gc\config.json

#

then start GC

compact pendant
#

i had to re-read what you said a couple times. getting old and not understanding. so in all my revenue for past couple months for subs SE isnt' showing but twitch.tv is. and thats based on the person subbing. so SE isn't ever going to give me an acurate information based on subs

shy mountain
#

What?

#

I don't understand what that has to do with your issue of not seeing subs.

#

You are not giving me much info to go on here besides they are not showing up.

#

Are they not showing up in the activity feed and overlay alerts?

compact pendant
#

yes, sorry. its not showing on anything obs or on my browser

rugged quail
#

not working..

shy mountain
#

And people are sharing their subs in your chat right?

#

@compact pendant

compact pendant
#

not that i can see. but is it not suppose to show on my browser as well when looking up in my activity feed

#

?

shy mountain
#

So basically when someone resubs to you - they need to share that activitiy in order to show up in our activity feed, an alert and in twitch's activity feed

compact pendant
#

oh wow. so only way to get an acurate sub count is from twitch itself. sorry if i seem like a bother

shy mountain
#

Now i'm confused as to which sub count you are referring to.

rugged quail
#

@shy mountain yes i see them.. but cant actually open it

compact pendant
#

just in general. like i got 2 subs this month. and nowhere on streamelements can i see that., i need to load up my twitch page then go into that so see the subs i have recieved this month

shy mountain
#

@rugged quail So if the icon is showing up on the bottom bar - click on it and then use the Windows key(the one between CTRL and ALT) + shift key + arrow keys

rugged quail
#

i got it!

#

thank you keizar!

shy mountain
#

@compact pendant If you want to see the total subs you have, via our dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> totals tab

compact pendant
#

yeah that information is wrong, saying my last sub was in august and i received one yesterday

#

sorry seems this has turned into not an obs problem. lol, and just seem like a pain in the butt now

shy mountain
#

So you don't have a total of 2 subscribers?

compact pendant
#

i don't see where you see that, i just see last sub sug 17

@median heart please stick to the original channel you asked your question in. You were answered in #helpdesk-twitch

elfin ridge
#

Is there a way to give Media Request its own channel in OBS or Voicemeeter?

#

Just in case someone searches and finds this the answer presently seems to be, Disable Media in OBS.live and use the Streamelements Ground Control app. Due to it being its own program you can assign it a channel in Voicemeeter which then gives it its own channel in OBS.

#

everytime i launch obs with the live extension, the chat module reverts to light mode. Is this a known issue?

fiery lava
#

whats the obs live version?

#

I have not heard of anyone having that issue

finite crystal
#

OBS.Live 19.10.24.511

fiery lava
#

that is the latest version, if you launch twitch in browser is it in dark mode?

finite crystal
#

Yes

#

are you thinking its a browser based cookie thats pulling the mode?

fiery lava
#

well here is where obs stores cookies you could delete and the journal see if it helps

#

%appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser

finite crystal
#

just the journal file?

fiery lava
#

cookies, and journal > you may have to sign back into things after you do that

#

worth a shot

kindred fox
#

πŸͺ

finite crystal
#

no joy, i will try a repair/reinstall later and check on my browser cookies independently. Thanks

Ah jeez! Im making things a mess on my StreamElements and I need help....

prisma sun
#

Hi Support, any reason why every time I reboot my PC and launch OBS.Live it fails to authenticate with Twitch?

zenith robin
#

I recently made the switch from SLOBS to OBS and Elements, and so far Im loving it. The only thing is it doesnt seem to get my donations correct, both tips and bits. I tried to import, but now everything seems to be doubled...

#

Now if I try to display the top tipper or anything like that, its showing the wrong information

fiery lava
#

I can delete your imported tips and you can import again 1 time

zenith robin
#

Please and thank you

#

Whats the best way to import it?

#

CSV?

fiery lava
#

import it the way you did

zenith robin
#

Ill try, but when I did before, it didnt seem to change the bits, only the tips

#

Is it ok to try now?

fiery lava
#

nope

#

hold on

zenith robin
#

okie dokie ❀

fiery lava
#

okay now you can import

zenith robin
#

I should be using the chrome method, right?

#

So, same issue again. Though the tip donation number is correct, the person showing in first is actually second. Also, it didnt update the bits

#

Any suggestions on how I can get them synced?

fiery lava
#

chances are the information fed from streamlabs has dubplicates of some sort

#

bits not imported

zenith robin
#

Is there a way to import the bits over as well?

prisma sun
#

Hi Support, any reason why every time I reboot my PC and launch OBS.Live it fails to authenticate with Twitch? Also, OBS support informed me that in 19.10.24.511 should have address high CPU usage but I'm having this problem ever since I upgraded.

zenith robin
#

Oh well this is weird... So if I look in stream elements tips information, Im seeing ROUGHLY the correct numbers here. However, when I go to make a widget with the top donator, it doesnt show the one on this list. dufuq?

fiery lava
#

what period are you picking for top tipper

zenith robin
#

all time

#

Its weird. So like under Revenue history, I see Joe Demon as second place at 27400, first is prodigyc49 at 52900. When I go to add the source, it says that Joe is the highest at 36322

@fiery lava my chat and my chatbot are down in obs.live can you help me
when i want to chat in obs.live it doesnt sent and my bot doesnt answer

fiery lava
#

looks like tracked under two different sources | his email and two from import

#

screen shot your obslive @solid solar

zenith robin
#

Yea he did, but that still isnt more than the person in first

#

Also, it doesnt explain why stream elements is showing two different things.

yep def looks like something is off

not sure theres gonna be a fix for that before you start getting more tips from those peeps

πŸ‘€ creepy

zenith robin

I dunno what to do now :x Whats my next step?

wary dew

get more money from them LULW

fiery lava
#

I can bring your issue up to dev team but like I said chances of them fixing it before you start getting in more donations idk

zenith robin
#

Hmm

#

I would appreciate that

fiery lava
#

will do

zenith robin
#

Damn, Im so sad. Ivbe been looking for a special widget fdor like a year now

One that rotates the information you want on a single widget

rugged quail
#

@tulip hamlet how could i fix windows giving exclusive control of my mic and messing discord up, cause unplugging my base and powering headphones off and replugging and turning them on fixes it

zenith robin
#

Finally found it, but the information doesnt match T-T

#

How long does it normally take the Dev team to tackle something like that?

fiery lava
#

They have a list of priorities from quality of life improvements to bug fixes, just depends

zenith robin
#

I see, well thats still better than SLOBS

#

Anytime I brought something up to them, they would be like "dunno"

kindred fox
#

follow those instructions, but select your microphone instead

  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

So OBS Live is reaching over 50% CPU Usage when i stream, how can i fix this?

fiery lava
#

check hardware acceleration | obs>settings>advanced>scroll down > check/uncheck

obsidian solstice

i unchecked it and its still around 50% usage

fiery lava
#

next thing you could do is check for updates?

after that you would need to do this

Hi Guys! It's been a few days since OBS Studio together with OBS.live makes me a very annoying problem with Discord. If I put the minimized Discord window I don't feel the other person. I have both Discord and the two OBS updated. What do you advise me to do?

That's odd. I've heard of microphones being taken exclusive control over but not speakers.

Heyas, i just ran someone through setting alerts using stream elements, I use it myself. The problem is when adding the scene into OBSLive the sound but no images come up. I am pretty sure that nothing is different to my setup except his version of obslive. He is running 19.10.24.511 and I am on 19.9.9.457. Anyone please help, did I miss something?

Check to make sure you have Browser Source Hardware Acceleration disabled in Settings>Advanced.

ok 1 sec

I'm guessing that's enabled by default cause I never turned that on, checking now

@steep spindle 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

Question: If I'm using OBS.Live, is there a way to have Media Request not output to Desktop Audio while it's still playing in the stream?

Oh, I don't even have to stream, just turning on OBS.Live drops my performance, with or without Overlays

This is only a log with opening and closing OBS.

winter nova
kindred fox
#

Without an output session the log doesn't do much good

#

You'll need to replicate the issues then upload the log

steel bladeBOT
#

@winter nova 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. Copy the URL and paste the link here.

(Note: If you do not see an obsproject.com URL, you will need to update OBS Studio to version 22+)

Hey there! I was here yesterday because StreamElements seems to be having issues with detecting the correct information to fill things like latest sub/ highest donor/ etc. I was told that it would be brought up to the dev team, but I was never told how long this might take. Is there any ETA that I could get or anything along those lines?

fiery lava
#

I posted to the devs yesterday.

zenith robin
#

Dope! Do you have a general idea of how long it might take?

fiery lava
#

They have a list of priorities from bugs to quality of life projects there is no ETA as of yet

zenith robin
#

This would be considered pretty high up the list, right?

fiery lava
#

with bugs it really just varies on their work load when they squeeze it in

zenith robin
#

So like days, weeks? Months?

fiery lava
#

i've seen bugs take as long as all three of those it really depends

zenith robin
#

eesh...

My fonts/formatting on my scenes are not working & none of my alerts are working. 😦 help!

#

I reloaded each scene in OBS live and it still will not fix them.

odd kraken
#

Are the overlays showing up in OBS?

vagrant bramble
#

Yes.

#

But the fonts/formatting are off.

#

Particularly the fonts.

odd kraken
#

Have you installed the font you are usign on your system and restarted OBS after that?

vagrant bramble
#

It worked before, so it shouldnt be an issue. Do I need to force quit OBS?

odd kraken
#

Check to make sure you have Browser Source Hardware Acceleration disabled in Settings>Advanced.

vagrant bramble
#

Okay I will try that. Any clue why my alerts are not working at all?

fiery lava
#

some fonts you will find dont load on your personal computer due to google style sheets failing to load from google sever | to test this you can open your overlay in a web browser and use inspection tool to see a console log of errors

vagrant bramble
#

I will try that - thank you. Still need help w alerts...

fiery lava
#

alerts whats going on

vagrant bramble

hi guys!
how do you place uploaded images and video from the library to the overlay editor?

odd kraken
#

At the top of the overlay editor are buttons to insert image and insert video.

vagrant bramble
#

Just clipped my stream from last night. Someone subbed and it did not pop up on stream at all.. then at the end of the clip you can see the formatting of my BRB scene is completely effed (fonts in my game scene are also not right). I will post a clip right after of what it is supposed to look like.

#

this is what my BRB scene is supposed to look like... I will try what you've recommended above and will get back to you if that does not resolve it. thank you for your help!

#

my alerts did not pop up for the remainder of the stream as well. none for tips or other subs.

fiery lava
#

loaded from my web browser google server is not loading that font family

#

the alert not popping up is hard to say because today opening your in game overlay and replaying the subs from your activity feed are triggering the alert in your in game overlay

vagrant bramble
#

ok so i need to download those fonts on my computer, right?

#

and then for alerts, is there anything that could be causing them not to pop up? i'll be streaming tonight as well and i hope they work.

#

thank you so much for your help dude, i appreciate it

fiery lava
#

nope because the font is not the problem its the style sheet (css) file not loading and the overlays dont look for local installed fonts they go by the google style sheet

#

suggest before stream you pick another font style to change to and test before going live

vagrant bramble
#

ok i will try that.. thanks

potent topaz
#

@odd kraken i tried those buttons. But it only placed a blank file. I have no way of choosing which items from the library I can place. I am using Chrome browser for Mac.
