went live and Droped 15% before the First 30 seconds...

crystal forge
#

Not sure what the Multiple game captures are... I have 3 scenes that load it but hardly switch...

steel bladeBOT
#

@crystal forge 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+)

crystal forge
#

I thought I did that..

shy mountain
#

Last log file doesn't contain anything

crystal forge
shy mountain
#

Its the same thing

crystal forge
shy mountain
#

Are you sure you started a stream?

#

for like 5-10 minutes?

crystal forge
#

not that time..

#

just record...

#

on a few of those I idid but the last 3 wher not.

shy mountain
#

Still empty as if you never clicked the "start recording" even

crystal forge
#

Okay will repeat...

crystal forge
#

again I do not know the multiple captures... I have 2 cence that i switch between but hardly ever...

steel bladeBOT
crystal forge
crystal forge
#

again... I went through ened all Game and Browsers..

shy mountain
#

Ok it seems you are not seeing the bigger issue here - the dropped frames of which you complained about

#

My OBS sometimes crashes, it's not super often, but I'm wondering is its normal. I stream everyday and maybe like one or twice a week it happens, sometimes it's random and other times it seems to be related to adding and removing captures when I'm live.
I figured it was normal since I've seen obs crash for other streamers randomly from time to time, but figured it was work asking about

steel bladeBOT
#

@dry prawn A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.

  1. In OBS, click the Help menu
  2. Select Crash Reports, and then Upload Last Crash Report
  3. Copy the URL, and paste it to the chat here.

Sometimes my Overlays are messed up (missing graphics) and the reload Overlay button wasn't working, was fine last week. Does the reload overlay button only work when you're not steaming now? I used to be able todo it when streaming but the past two days it has not been working.

shy mountain
#

There is a fix coming up for the reload button in OBS.Live

#

For now I would suggest to use the reload button from the dashboard

lilac ocean
#

@woeful sleet a scene is like a folder where you place all your sources in

#

what do you want to know about the sources?

#

the basic ones you are going to need are: video input capture, browser source and windows capture

#

that gets you a camera, gameplay and overlay for output

woeful sleet
#

how do i apply the overlays to the scenes?

steel bladeBOT
#

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

woeful sleet
#

because when i try and go live there are no widgets on screen, are the overlays preprogrammed or do i have to add them?

#

how do i activate them in obs live

lilac ocean
#

you have to make an overlay over at the website, have you done that?

#

or picked a super theme?

#

if you add it like Support AI states above and set the right dimensions, it should all be there

#

you can also drag sources around, so dont have the browser source hidden under the gameplay!

round nova
#

Hi, my widgets just stopped working. I was able to test them for about 30 minutes on OBS.LIVE but now they don't show up. I tested the URL by adding other things like photos, 2nd capture screens. Those all work. It's just my widgets that don't now. I made new widgets and premade ones, none work. If you have any ideas/suggestions please let me know.

woeful sleet
#

ok but the bot just told me to click shutdown source when not visible

lilac ocean
#

yes so that is when you switch to another scene, you can have multiple scenes

woeful sleet
#

i picked a super theme and did it just like it said.

lilac ocean
#

when the scene with the overlay is open, the overlay is always visible

shy mountain
#

@round nova What is your account name and overlay name?

round nova
#

@shy mountain Account: Fortnite Overlay: Notifications

woeful sleet
#

so what capture mode do i use for which scene?

shy mountain
#

Account name fortnite?

round nova
#

Sorry I read that wrong. Where is account name?

lilac ocean
#

@woeful sleet you can pick that yourself

steel bladeBOT
woeful sleet
#

but im saying i dont understand which is which

#

i told you, im an idiot when it comes to this stuff

lilac ocean
#

lets just stay with the one scene here for now

#

you can name the scenes, so for example you can name this one 'Live scene'

#

then you can have another scene with only a picture source and name it 'Be right Back scene'

#

a scene is a screen you output

Sorry!

woeful sleet
#

like for game capture how do i stream marbles on stream in full screen mode with only my laptop, i have a second monitor connected with an hdmi cable but i cant access obs live when im in full screen.

shy mountain
#

@round nova theres just one widget there and its the alerts. What exactly is the issue? Thonk

round nova
#

The alerts don't show up on my OBS.Live when I'm trying to preview them. They worked for about 30 min, now they don't

steel bladeBOT
round nova
#

Exactly, that's what I've been using. Then it would send to OBS, to make sure it all fit. Or am I just confused? haha

shy mountain
#

Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit

#

is this option on?

round nova
#

Where do I find that?

shy mountain
#

check the video

woeful sleet
#

hello? @lilac ocean ?

Well @shy mountain I think you've answered enough dumb questions. I appreciate the help soooo much 🙂 Seriously, you're the best. I couldn't see that little shadowed text until you said that... oops!

shy mountain

ASWowzZoom 👍

odd kraken
#

@valid dove I asked internally on your issue. There is no way to make the activity feed to be white/light mode in OBS.Live.

sly cypress
#

hey guys im having issues getting my alert boxes to show up in obs, anyone else with that issue>

steel bladeBOT
#

@sly cypress 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

sly cypress
#

yup that what i always do but still my issue remains lol

steel bladeBOT
sly cypress
#

bruh im so dumb, its clear so i didnt see that option down there lol

shy mountain
#

I'm seeing a trend here again Thinkies

#

you are not the only one so don't worry

sly cypress
#

thank you @shy mountain ive spent HOURS searching the internet for answers just to find some dumb stuff like that smfh hahaha

lilac heart
#

hey there, having error on trying to update obs.live

odd kraken
#

Do you have a screenshot of the error message?

violet pond
#

hi, is there anywhere a change log of the todays obslive update?

odd kraken
#

Afaik bug fixing.

violet pond
#

yes, but what had been fixed? might be important to adjust

odd kraken
#

There was a bug with the reload overlays button in the activity feed, which has been fixed.

lone wren
odd kraken
#

@lone wren Can you send us the latest crash logs here?

lone wren
odd kraken
#

@lone wren The crash seems to be initiated by a VST plugin.
Could you try to uninstall that, restart OBS.Live and try to install the update again, to see if it goes through?

lone wren
#

it works now thanks a lot

#

i don't install vst for now

quasi swallow
#

Does anyone know why i cant add a custom bot in obs live anymore?

odd kraken
quasi swallow
#

yeah but after logging in correctly it doesnt find the account

#

i also tried another account but it won't show up

odd kraken
#

Try 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) Click on "StreamElements - Activity feed"
5) navigate to the Console tab
6) type in the console this: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration() and hit enter
7) Try setting the custom bot name

Remove the addition to the target field again.

quasi swallow
#

lemme check, one moment please

#

can't add that in the target field

#

ill just reinstal everything

patent igloo
#

hi i am experiencing a 9 second audio delay even after adjusting bitrate

odd kraken
#

@quasi swallow Please let us now if that fixed your issue. If not, we'll investigate further.

patent igloo
#

@odd kraken or anyone that might have some help on this?

steel bladeBOT
patent igloo
#

ok so no support in here? sorry i thought this was a help channel

quasi swallow
#

Reinstalled, tried 2 accounts but the custom name won't show up

odd kraken
#

Have you done the steps I suggested above?

quasi swallow
#

I'll give it another shot

#

somehow i cant add that to the target

#

i might be stupid but it wont apply

neat cobalt
#

hey guys, im getting told i need to update my obs.live however everytime i click update it says "failed downloading software update package"

odd kraken
#

Do you have a screenshot of that error?

neat cobalt
odd kraken
#

@quasi swallow You may need admin rights to do so.

fathom cobalt
neat cobalt
#

ill give it a shot thank you

#

that worked thank you

smoky hollow
#

anyone else having problems with alerts? None of my test alerts from streamelements.com are going through to my OBS to check if its working properly! My widgets for followers/latest stuff are working

#

but alerts are a no no

steel bladeBOT
smoky hollow
#

Where is the "show emualted events on stream" option in OBS cannot seem to find it

odd kraken
#

It is on the website in the overlay editor.

neat cobalt
#

for some reason the "nvidia nvenc h.264 (new)" option is missing for me in my settings? i only have the normal one not the (new) one, is there something im missing or?

odd kraken
#

In the easy settings you can choose between x264 and nvidia. If you have the new available it will automatically choose the new one, otherwise fall back to the old one.

neat cobalt
#

ah ok no worries thank you

quasi swallow
#

as admin it also doesnt work

#

idk ill find something else

#

oh i got something

#

omg it worked

#

Thanks so much @odd kraken ! It's working lekkerLief thanks a lot for your patience!

odd kraken
#

How did you solve it?

quasi swallow
#

Try 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"

7) Try setting the custom bot name

Remove the addition to the target field again.
@odd kraken restart my pc, ran OBS as administrator and tried this a few times

#

first two times somehow didn't work but once i was able to add the thing in step 1 it worked

odd kraken
#

Perfect.

quasi swallow
#

danke!

sharp forge
#

@smoky hollow watch the video its in the editor

winter mist
#

why my screen capture is black ?

#

fathom cobalt
#

@winter mist obs is runned as admin? You are on laptop?

winter mist
#

I'm on laptop and linux

#

x-server is 1.11

#

Use hardware acceleration when available is off in chrome

neat cobalt
#

for some reason my alerts arent showing on my obs/stream when im testing them in the overlay?

steel bladeBOT
neat cobalt
#

yep im an idiot thanks haha

dire cliff
#

im trying to download the obslive plugin for my stream deck but it's not working

#

it loads through but it doesnt actually download and i can keep pressing the install button

sinful flint
#

Lets try this:

  • Open %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins
  • Delete the com.streamelements.obslive.sd plugin folder
  • Reinstall the plugin from the Stream Deck plugins menu
rugged quail
#

Are those Instructions in a command?

dire cliff
#

That worked. Thank you

rugged quail
#

Just for easy Typing

sinful flint
#

Probably but I had it easy to copy + paste this time

rugged quail
#

Mmm might be good practice to have it as a Command

torn lantern
#

Ahhhhh I didn’t see this tab. I was looking for a Help with StreamElements tab. Lol. My bad. So I have an issue with ReStream through OBS. I have updated the latest update, then put in where I want it to go ......ReStream.io RTMP.....and go live. Nothing (gameplay) shows up on my Mixer or my FB page. Just a picture of me. Lol. I have all accounts attached and ReStream says it’s something on SE side. I sent SE a message, haven’t heard back yet. Can anyone here help with this ?

kindred fox
#

@torn lantern can you see your game in obs?

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox yes

kindred fox
#

Then everything you’re seeing should be output to restream, unless you’ve modified your encoder settings to something outside default for what you’re trying to do

torn lantern
#

I haven’t modified anything. Just where I want it to stream to

keen saddle
#

anyone else having issues with obs studio just not opening at all or immediately crashing if it does open after an update today or just me?

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox I hate to do it but I may uninstall and reinstall it.

kindred fox
#

Once you’ve authenticated to restream and hit start streaming what happens?

#

@keen saddle do you get any error messages?

vivid lodge
#

Hi, I'm trying to add media share, I've added the widget to my main overlay. Why do I have to have the media share page open for this to work? It actually doubles the audio having it open (as it plays in the web browser and OBS). If I close media share in the browser it stops in OBS. Likewise, if I use ground control, it doesn't link properly to my token (I've reset this multiple times). Any help will be very appreciated.

keen saddle
#

@kindred fox nope. opens for a sec then closes. if it opens at all

kindred fox
#

No errors?

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox I get a stream key error. So Ive gone into restream and reset for a new stream key

kindred fox
#

Make sure to paste the new stream key into obs

keen saddle
#

@kindred fox negative. creates a log entry but no errors on screen

kindred fox
#

Can you drop the crash log here?

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox it detects it automatically. No where to insert one

keen saddle
kindred fox
#

Unplug your webcam and restart obs @keen saddle

#

@torn lantern that’s reaaaaallly weird

#

@vivid lodge so if you sign into ground control and let media request play (with browser closed) does it work?

#

And if you remove the JWT token from ground control can you sign back in using your twitch credentials?

keen saddle
kindred fox
#

You’re capturing streamlabs chatbot?

keen saddle
#

on stream yes

kindred fox
#

Can I ask why?

keen saddle
#

for song requests etc

echo marsh
#

I'm getting crashes too, as soon as I move OBS to my other Display ...

kindred fox
#

That’s available via streamelements...

#

@torn lantern can you stream to each platform separately without restream?

vivid lodge
#

@kindred fox - even in ground control there's a doubling, with the browser closed it does work though, just doubled. It's playing it with volume through ground control. Something seems very off.

#

I just turned off my SE_gaming source off and it's playing just in ground control. As soon as I turn on the source, it's doubled. I don't think it should be this way.

kindred fox
#

Hmmm

#

Are you monitoring ground control?

vivid lodge
#

not sure I know what you're asking by monitoring it

kindred fox
#

You shouldn’t have to monitor ground control as audio goes the through the overlay

keen saddle
#

@kindred fox i had setup streamlabs chatbot with chat commands and such before switching to streamelements

kindred fox
#

Ground control doesn’t have to be an audio source in obs

#

@keen saddle you can import those 😉

vivid lodge
#

it's not, the overlay from SE should be the only source

keen saddle
#

but that's neither here nor there if obs wont even open lol

kindred fox
#

Hmm...

vivid lodge
#

all audio monitoring is off in advanced properties

#

I'm hearing ground control right now, with my source off in OBS

#

I don't know what's going on here, I setup the song to play in ground control, I just shut down ground control, my browser, and I still hear the song.

kindred fox
#

Obs still playing it?

vivid lodge
#

I have no clue what's going on

kindred fox
#

Are you using obs.live or vanilla obs?

vivid lodge
#

obs.live

kindred fox
#

@vivid lodge streamelements menu >> media request

#

Close Ground Control

#

Manage it from there and you shouldn’t have duplicate audio

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox prior to getting ReStream, I was streaming directly to Mixer. No issues at all. But I’m trying to spread my gaming out to multiple platforms for at least a month or so to see where i get the most engagement.

kindred fox
#

Okay, so if you stream to mixer for 5 minutes does it show, twitch, etc

#

Because it might be an issue with your connected accounts on restream if you can stream to the platforms separately

vivid lodge
#

I just opened media request and the music stopped as you suggested and the music stopped. There's a warning at the top saying "Media Request is Currently in Use somewhere else, use here"

kindred fox
#

Lol that’s probably ground control

vivid lodge
#

now it's playing and doubling again once I open my source

kindred fox
#

Ooh

#

Ooh

vivid lodge
#

I'm showing in stream

#

so that the vid can be seen

kindred fox
#

Make sure you’ve checked the box for “Shutdown source when inactive” on all overlays

vivid lodge
#

it is but this is my main gaming scene

#

so it's almost always on

kindred fox
#

Can you screenshot your obs for me?

raw moss
#

Quick question! If I initially set up OBS.Live to stream to YouTube, but I want to switch to Twitch instead, how do I do that?

I'm currently logged in to my Twitch Channel on Streamelements.com, and my OBS.Live settings is set to stream to Twitch, but when I press "Start Streaming" it insists on starting a YouTube stream! 😬

vivid lodge
torn lantern
#

@kindred fox here’s my setup. Xbox one, HD60 S +, Dell laptop, yeti mic, StreamElements.....

wary dew
#

@raw moss Settings > Stream, change it there to Twitch 😉

kindred fox
#

@raw moss streamelements menu >> log out >> log in | then make sure in the obs settings >> stream its set to twitch

raw moss
#

It's already set to Twitch

#

I'll try to log back out and back in

kindred fox
#

You have two overlays in your scene @vivid lodge. Is media request widget on both?

echo marsh
#

@vivid lodge Further than I can get, since the update every time I try to move OBS to my second display, it instantly crashes ....

kindred fox
#

@torn lantern I asked if you can stream to each platform independently without issues. Please test that you can, and then we can figure out where the issue lies.

vivid lodge
#

media is only on the SE_Gaming overlay

keen saddle
#

tried uninstall and reinstall without webcam hooked up. same thing

torn lantern
#

I’m trying to stream to Mixer, FB and YouTube. I’ve tried them individually (without restream) no issues

#

@kindred fox

kindred fox
#

Okay, so the issue lies within Restream

#

start by adding one platform, then a second, then the third and see when it breaks

#

make sure the account information is correct within your restream dashboard

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox So obviously there’s a disconnect somewhere. Lol. That’s my thought too

kindred fox
#

@keen saddle can you do me a favor and push Start+R and go to %appdata% and move the obs-studio folder to your desktop? Then relaunch OBS?

#

@echo marsh what kind of computer are you running obs on?

#

are both of your monitors plugged into the same GPU?

echo marsh
#

Nope, and this literally started after the update, I been running like this for over a year no problems until today.

kindred fox
torn lantern
#

@kindred fox I also have another issue. The destination source always keeps changing back to Mixer even after I set it to restream.io. Why would that be?

keen saddle
kindred fox
#

aha

#

@keen saddle open task manager and in the Details tab close all OBS instances

#

@torn lantern Click StreamElements in the menu >> Log out

#

then set it to restream

vivid lodge
#

I just did that and lol, now the video won't show

kindred fox
#

@torn lantern also, can you click StreamElements in the menu and select Report Issue to report that it's overriding your platform in the OBS Settings?

#

So it was running in another instance of OBS but not the one you were using?

#

that's freaking weird

keen saddle
#

@kindred fox no obs instances in task manager

echo marsh
#

I literally just had a 5 hour stream yesterday no issues.... Now because of this ... I'm going to have to cancel todays stream, until I can figure this out.

vivid lodge
#

yep, the video is now gone, I can hear it though

kindred fox
#

@vivid lodge that's insanely weird. Do you have the Media Request dock open?

#

@echo marsh Are both of your monitors connected to the same GPU?

echo marsh
#

No

kindred fox
#

That's why it's breaking

#

connect them to the same GPU

#

They should both be connected to the same GPU

echo marsh
#

That makes no sense, considering I have run this same setup for a year with no problems, now it breaks ....

kindred fox
#

@keen saddle you should be able to move that folder as long as there aren't any instances of OBS running in task manager

#

@echo marsh Try it and see if it works

echo marsh
#

And that's not going to work, when I use the GPU the second display is attached to as my ENCODER.

kindred fox
#

So you have two GPUs running at 8x?

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox when I downloaded OBS I got 2 versions. A StreamElements version and OBS version. Both appear to open the same setup. But I can’t be sure.

echo marsh
#

both @ 16 not 8

keen saddle
kindred fox
#

and it still won't let you move the folder?

keen saddle
#

nope

kindred fox
#

@echo marsh how are you getting two PCI 3.0 lanes running at 16x?

#

there's no consumer board on the market or CPU that currently supports it

#

@keen saddle Would you restart your PC for me and try to relocate that folder to your desktop after a restart? I want to make sure there isn't something else that would be preventing it

keen saddle
#

yeah. one minute

#

ok it moved the folder that time

kindred fox
#

woot

#

will obs launch now?

vivid lodge
#

there's some sort of disconnect here, when I add a song request, it doesn't even go into the queue now.

#

sigh

rugged quail
#

Im not sure if this is the best place to ask but i get this on my OBS and im not sure what it is, anyone that had the same issue or knows a fix to it?

kindred fox
#

@vivid lodge can you click on streamelements in the menu >> log out >> Log back in for me and see if that fixes the bot?

honest echo
#

@rugged quail check your GPU updates

keen saddle
#

cool it loaded now

kindred fox
#

Also double-check that your song request command is enabled for both and not just online or offline

#

@keen saddle bitchin

keen saddle
#

just have to reload all my overlays and such

kindred fox
#

It will probably require you to set up things again, but I'm glad it is working

#

WOOT

keen saddle
#

@kindred fox same

#

thanks guys

kindred fox
#

Also just a heads up, keep an eye on that brio

#

people have had issues with them inside OBS for some reason not getting good framerates or stuttering

#

nobody has found a solution or cause yet, but it's entirely random

#

just want to make you aware in case you happen to experience it

#

😄

keen saddle
#

@kindred fox will do

kindred fox
#

@rugged quail Can you open the Nvidia Control Panel >> go to 3D settings and click Restore To Defaults?

#

@vivid lodge how we doing?

vivid lodge
#

sorry, yes I am at it but had to run and get my phone for the 2 factor...

kindred fox
#

@torn lantern Have you tested out your restream settings one by one yet?

#

I know that feeling! I don't even know what my twitch password is so I have to look it up every time I relog

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox just got home. Hopping back on now

rugged quail
#

@kindred fox I dont know how but i pressed restore and it worked doesnt happends anymore, any idea of what it could be about?

kindred fox
#

something in the graphics settings for nvidia...not sure what it is

#

probably an antialiasing setting most likely?

#

but don't quote me on that

rugged quail
#

Well it works and thank you very much 😄

vivid lodge
#

song request is not linking still but if I add directly to the media request pane the video works.

keen saddle
#

@kindred fox ok did the import thing from streamlabs. chat commands especially chat commands that trigger sound didnt copy over. how do i do the sound ones in stream elements?

vivid lodge
#

but now it's not working to request from the chat pane

torn lantern
kindred fox
#

@torn lantern Can you make sure you're signed out by clicking StreamElements >> Log out? Then go into your OBS Settings, make sure it says "Restream.io" and you're connected there?

mortal knot
#

anyone know anything about the trojan being found within the elgato streamdeck plugin?

kindred fox
#

it's a false positive

#

make sure your streamdeck software is updated and it will install just fine

#

@vivid lodge make sure your Song Request command is available for both online and offline. There should be a "Both" option in the command section of your dashboard for the Song Request command

mortal knot
#

yeah i've had it installed for quite some time, just realized that my AV had quarantined something from streamelements and was a little weirded out

kindred fox
#

Typically because it's not something that AV has seen frequently enough, it flags it. I know Symantec used to do that all the time with apps I regularly used and I was like "just because you haven't seen it installed doesn't mean it's new"

torn lantern
#

This is what is always reverts back to. I then have to go back in and reset it to show Restream.io.....this is where you're talking about, right

#

This is what I have it set to right now....even when i save it, it goes back to the other one

kindred fox
#

And you’re logged out of streamelements menu @torn lantern ?

vivid lodge
#

@kindred fox - that solved that one, requests are on lol duh on me

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox yes i am

kindred fox
#

Click continue without logging in

#

Then set your stream output in obs settings

here's an issue, I have my SE source, which contains the media request but I also need my desktop audio or a gaming audio output but it picks up the both audios.

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox ok...done

kindred fox
#

My advice would be to disable everything in obs settings audio and add your individual inputs/outputs. @vivid lodge

#

Now what happens when you click start streaming @torn lantern ?

vivid lodge
#

ok @kindred fox that's fine but gaming capture doesn't have an audio capture, it comes through as the desktop. Or am I missing something?

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox start stream without signing in then?

kindred fox
#

yes

#

see if you can stream

#

@vivid lodge you'll add your default audio output as a source in the scene

#

My audio device is my GoXLR

#

but you would add your headset as an audio output and your mic as an audio input

#

That will make sure you only have an audio input/output for each source you're using. When you add your overlays make sure you don't check the box I pointed at earlier

#

Leave that one unchecked

vivid lodge
#

yeah but I do that and the audio doubles up again

kindred fox
#

The audio shouldn't double-up

vivid lodge
#

lol, it shouldn't but it does

kindred fox
#

it should play out your default audio device

#

That box in your overlay properties is unchecked?

vivid lodge
#

it is and it's doubled up

kindred fox
#

I see what you're talking about

#

I'm getting it too

#

Do you have the overlay editor open by chance?

vivid lodge
#

no

kindred fox
#

you also shouldn't have an audio source for your overlay

#

go into the properties of your overlay and uncheck that Control Audio via OBS box

vivid lodge
#

this is too much trouble, I uncheck and the audio still doubles, I check it and I have to mute the SE source

kindred fox
#

you have the widget on another overlay somewhere.

#

Do you have Ground Control open by chance?

vivid lodge
#

no, closed that long ago

#

argh, and now the queue isn't filling again

#

because it magically turned off

#

ok, I enabled it again in the chat commands, closed the browser, and it disabled again

#

Thanks anyways @kindred fox , I appreciate you trying. I'm not going to use this feature as it is not agreeing with me or my setup.

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox Ok. That worked. How did that work without me being signed into it? And does that mean I can’t add overlays and stuff now?

vivid lodge
#

it keeps shutting off anyways

kindred fox
#

Lemme get someone for you @vivid lodge

#

I just got an update for OBS Live, but I can't find any links or info on any place where I can read a changelog, I'd love to see what's being updated.

kindred fox
#

@torn lantern you can still use overlays, you just won’t see the standard activity feed windows in obs

#

@north birch the update addressed an issue with reloading the activity feed dock

north birch
#

I mean, I appreciate you telling me that, but is there really no changelog available anywhere?

tawdry lava
#

the update broke test alerts

steel bladeBOT
kindred fox
#

@north birch I’ll see if they can get the notes posted for you in the #270206314561404928 channel

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox so this is a nice fix but is their a way to fix it so everything works like it should?

kindred fox
#

Unfortunately obs cannot handle multiple platform alert APIs at once.

torn lantern
#

I’ll still be able to add more platforms to restream now right? Plus, is their a way to reduce the 10 second delay I’m getting from restream to Facebook?

north birch
#

alright

torn lantern
#

Ohhh. Ok.

kindred fox
#

You’ll still have to add an overlay for each platform, then monitor chat with restream chat, then open each platforms activity feed in a new browser window

#

And that’s just because of how APIs work

left rose
#

@neat cobalt You can test Alerts via the bell on the lower right corner of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard -> My Overlays -> Pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS/Xsplit https://streamable.com/h6qgy
@steel blade
I wanted to ask for help but I guess I'm lucky to find easly this message. The button is so small / low opacity I didn't even know it was there
Thank you anayway 🙂

torn lantern
#

That doesn’t seem very user friendly so to speak.

kindred fox
#

I know people who have tried restream, but the problem lies in the inability to focus on a specific group of viewers. Restream is great if you have a broadcast-level setup, but terrible as an individual. I’d recommend streaming to a different platform on different days, which will let you build a more diverse audience

#

Like when EVGA does their weekly stream it’s great for them to use restream because they’re trying to reach an already established audience on each platform their users engage the company on.

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox that sounds like a possibility. I only have this for a month because I wanted to see where I get the most engagement

kindred fox
#

Engagement means putting out tweets, meeting other people on the platform, making quality relationships in communities focused on the games you play and supporting other streamers just by showing up and saying hello

torn lantern
#

I was actually thinking 3 months because 1 month won’t really give a good baseline

kindred fox
#

I’d recommend using twitter to post for twitch, Facebook for FB gaming and well mixer.....is either Twitter or Facebook

#

That way you can also track where users are coming from

#

Analytics are a powerful tool

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox just sent you a message. Was blocked by Clyde. Lol.

kindred fox
#

My DMs are off

#

I don’t need my phone lighting up like an Xmas tree

torn lantern
#

No worries. I completely understand that! Lol

#

Here it is

#

Hey Orsuna, , I appreciate all of your help. You seem to be quite knowledgeable with all of this. What would you recommend to me , just starting out in the streaming world...going to go long term. Any tips, tricks, advice would be greatly appreciated as I want to set myself up for a very successful streaming career and surround myself with those who are looking to do the same.

kindred fox
#

I’m a terrible streamer, but I’ve been around long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Don’t play anything ‘popular’ on stream.

#

Twitchstrike is a decent resource for when to stream and what to stream, usually games in the 2nd and 3rd row of games on twitch

#

Also stream what you like

#

I’m on hiatus until the 10th when I stream the new Ori game, then Doom Eternal

#

I tried to stream popular games but ended up hating it more than I enjoyed playing

torn lantern
#

We stream mainly BFV. I play other games though. Racing games, puzzle type games etc.

#

@kindred fox

rugged quail
#

its obslive from streamelements that im using

honest echo
#

@north birch we're actually have plans to adding a "release notes" popup to obslive

rugged quail
#

The elgato capture software shows it works properrly and when I trying to add the source 1 nothing ever pops up and 2 about 80 percent of the times obs live crashes on me

#

anyone that can help me?

Which card?

rugged quail
#

I have an avermedia for gameplay and a elgato hd60 for the new sony a5100

I got it to work for like 10 mins yesterday but now it's nothing but issues

Which one doesn’t work?

having an issure where i used to see where i could edit stream info and see twitch stats but its all gone, i did check for updates and have all latest updates, i did sign out of stream elements and signed back in even deleted the obs profile cookies. any other suggestions?

Reinstall game capture HD and just for kicks 4K Capture utility

that just shows the stats of the cpu, fps and info for the obs stream

Stream information

#

Try that one in the same place

frigid rivet
#

i used to have more options in there but i dont at the moment

kindred fox
#

Might be there once you go live

#

Once you open it again it should stick

#

As long as you ‘dock it’

elder stream
#

sup!!! need some help because i cant stream Assetto Corsa on elements... can someone help me?

frigid rivet
#

i had everything docked last week and now its all missing

#

should i just uninstall obs and stream elements and redownload everything?

kindred fox
#

@elder stream I have no idea what that means

#

@frigid rivet it should show up when you’re live

#

It may not show until you go live. You should be able to do a quick “start streaming”, open the dock, then stop

frigid rivet
#

i tried that and nothing happened

kindred fox
#

As in the option wasn’t there?

frigid rivet
#

right

kindred fox
#

Obs settings > stream > disconnect / reconnect

Just curious, but how do i reset a Tip Goal?

steel bladeBOT
#

@teal ferry To reset goals:

  • from the overlay editor -> data on top -> goal tab -> reset progress of desired goal
  • from the dashboard -> activity feed on the left -> widget data on the right -> goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal
    Note: Goal widgets(progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you loose followers/subs

I do not think the OBS.Live plugin will work with Mac OBS, because that version of OBS is far behind. But, the site and the urls to overlays for streamelements will work @rancid sand

Okay kool, thank you very much.

kindred fox
#

The version of obs isn’t behind, the plug-in just has not been developed for macOS

Anyone here know how to set up audio so I don’t have issues in OBS with mixer? I am using an Xbox one x, elgato capture card hd60, blue yeti mic, and steel series arctis 7 that is wireless but only works for Xbox plugged into the controller. I always get reverb or echo ALWAYS. I just can’t figure it out. I want to be able to play multiplayer with a headset but also use my mic as the main audio input source so that it sounds better than a headset. Any help is appreciated. If you can’t, does anyone have a link to OBS discord and I can ask there. Thank you guys. Little things like this fixed would make the stream 10x better.

late furnace
#

To Use Blue Yeti (with Xbox One)
Xbox headset adapter with input for mic/headphone 3.5 mm (plugs into the controller, controls volume/mute)
A 3.5mm Mic/Headphone splitter
A 3.5mm Male to Male cable
Take the 3.5mm Male to male cable and plug one end into your blue yeti's headphone slot, (make sure the headphone volume is up so you can be heard) Plug the other end of the cable into the Mic/Headphone splitter on the mic side. You can plug in a headphone as well here. Plug the Mic/headphone splitter into the Xbox headset adapter on your controller. Voila!! That should be it. When you talk on the yeti, the audio will be run right into your controller as if it were a mic on a headset.

#

@crimson osprey you are using laptop?

crimson osprey
#

yes

late furnace
#

i always forget to ask that kekw

steel bladeBOT
#

@crimson osprey Due to the way laptops are designed, your system must be configured to run OBS on a specific GPU, depending on the type of capture you are trying to do.

For Game Capture and Window Capture (recommended), your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s high performance GPU (default); for Display Capture, your system must be configured to run OBS on your laptop’s power saving GPU (iGPU).

If you are running Windows 10 1903 or newer, use this guide for instructions on how to configure your system: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/Laptop-GPU-Selection-Windows-10

For instructions on configuring an older version of Windows (you should consider upgrading), use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Laptop-Troubleshooting

Ok. Hello again all. So I am having sound delays through ReStream through SE now. My Mixer (7seconds) FB (8seconds) YouTube (10 seconds). Video does not match sound. Very bad. Where in settings can I go to fix this and what do I set them to?

Does it occur if you don’t use restream?

#

And only stream to mixer/FB/YT?

late furnace
#

@honest spire are you able to see them being emulated via SE site editor in the overlay?

honest spire

@late furnace they work if I launch or edit, but won't activate on OBS.live, regardless of if I try running as admin or not (I do not run on admin unless testing if it will make a difference), etc. thanks for responding 🙂

@kindred fox not that bad. Most I’ve had is about 1/2 second when streaming to Mixer.

#

@kindred fox I’ve not tried the other sites individually

late furnace

@honest spire on the SE site next to the emulated bell is it checced "show emulated event on stream"

OH that, yeah even if I emulate an event it won't do anything @late furnace only in the editor itself :>

how do i add the overlays to my obs.live

steel bladeBOT
#

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

#

media source audio is not playing no matter what i do after i just installed the new obs live update

#

is there a easy way to roll it back

shy mountain
#

What are your audio settings?

naive path
#

as in

shy mountain
#

and is it the dock or a browser source with the widget?

naive path
#

its media on the computer that wont play everything else works

#

local

shy mountain
#

these settings

sour shadow
#

So how easy is it to create custom Alerts? In streamlabs I'm having a hard time with customizing the alerts HTML structure. So I'm here looking into Streamelements.

naive path
#

it was working fine before the update

shy mountain
#

@sour shadow Check in #dev-chat -> channel description for the custom widget variables

#

@naive path Ok so lets step back for a moment and start over.
Media Request Dock - as in song requests are not playing?
Or local .mp3 files are not playing audio?

naive path

local mp4 no audio

steel bladeBOT
shy mountain
#

We do not touch the media source in OBS in anyway.

#

I'm curious as to if I have complete control of the HTML structure as I was saying StreamLabs is my issue not Streamelements. I haven't tried Streamelements yet.

naive path
#

i see the meter going but it doesnt go to the obs meter

sour shadow
#

I'm looking to move to Streamelements which is why I'm in here asking aobut it.

naive path
#

i have it set to monitor and output but no sound

wary dew
#

Most of the people that build custom widgets and stuff are in #dev-chat that's why he redirected you to that channel @sour shadow ;)

shy mountain
naive path
#

like i said it was fine before i updated today

#

is there a way to unroll that update

shy mountain
#

Not currently - which meter is filling up?

naive path
#

the media one

shy mountain
#

Show me

#

you are not making any sense with the short explanations

#

show me what is filling up

naive path
#

not that easy its on my streaming computer

#

the media playing shows up on that meter but doesnt show up on the obs meter and no sound comes out

#

to the stream or monitor

shy mountain
#

On which "that meter"?

naive path
#

wth im speaking english

#

the media meter

#

works

#

not

#

obs

shy mountain
naive path
#

yes those

shy mountain
#

there is a big difference

#

especially since you have a streaming PC

naive path
#

the first one

#

obs studio

shy mountain
#

And you have local files playing via a media source?

naive path
#

yes

shy mountain
#

OBS.Live does not in any way, shape or form touch the media source

#

Or Audio settings for that mater

naive path
#

then why did the update break it then

shy mountain
#

Right, then open Control panel -> programs -> uninstall OBS.Live

naive path
#

are you telling me that when the obs live update installs it doesnt update obs

shy mountain
#

We had an update recently that only fixed the reload button in the activity feed and another internal issue, which both things do not have anything to do with audio settings

#

and the media source

#

I don't think anyone else reported the same issue you are reporting

naive path
#

well whatever it was it broke mine

shy mountain
#

so lets see if its really our plugin breaking the audio settings

#

by removing it

naive path
#

is there a link to a older version

shy mountain
#

No

naive path
#

ok ill uninstall obs live see what happens

#

See you seem to think its my rig, and it has been Fine till the last 2 nights...

Dropped frames = internet issues

#

totally different side of the spectrum

crystal forge
#

Ummm.

steel bladeBOT
#

@crystal forge Speed tests mean very little with regards to streaming and your choice of bitrate. They measure your raw upload speed to a server that's near you (likely run by your local ISP), instead of your stable upload speed to a streaming server. Your stable speed will determine the bitrate you can comfortably stream at.
https://www.speedtest.net/

The stable speed can be estimated as roughly 70-85% of the speed test result in a lot of cases, however this is by no means a perfect estimate. In reality, it may end up being much worse if there's problems between your ISP and the streaming service.

Hey all! I'm having issues trying to connect to Facebook Live and when it does connect it dropes frames really bad. I went through all of the steps KeiZar listed and it seems like something much bigger. Maybe something to do with not having an RTMPS option ??

#

I have submitted a ticket. I'm dropping 65% frames and getting 0 kb/s

lilac ocean
#

did you share a clean log with us?

steel bladeBOT
#

@river escarp 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+)

lilac ocean
#

that way, we might see where the issue lies

river escarp
#

im not sure what a clean log is

lilac ocean
#

follow the steps from Support AI above 😄

river escarp
#

i think that is the clean log you need?

lilac ocean
#

I see that your IP is binded, is that something you did manually for some reason?

#

"Binding to a manually chosen IP address is rarely needed. Go to Settings → Advanced → Network and set "Bind to IP" back to "Default"."

river escarp
#

it is on default

lilac ocean
#

Also your stream encoder is set to a video bitrate that is too low.

#

whats your bitrate at?

river escarp
#

my stream encoder is set to NVIDIA NVENC H.264 bitrate is 6k

lilac ocean
#

That is apart, let me notify the staff for you

river escarp
#

apart?

lilac ocean
#

apart, as in weird

river escarp
#

thank you for your help

lilac ocean
#

No worries, I have notified in our support channel and someone might be able to help you with it

shy mountain
#

Can you show a screenshot of the binding option please?

river escarp
#

it won't allow me to connect to Facebook at all to view the incoming transmission of video on the dash before I go live on the Facebook dash. This is normally how I do it. When it did connect me, (When I binded to a specific IP) it was dropping 65% frames and 0 kb/s

#

I run a pretty good computer with 1gig internet speeds. I've been doing this for a while now. Something is just not right this past couple updates. Could it have to do with Facebook and the RTMPS servers now?

shy mountain
#

Dropped frames usually means there is an issue with your ISP and the connection to the server you are trying to stream

river escarp
#

I gewt that but could it have to do with the new update?

shy mountain
#

We in no shape or form touch the connection

river escarp
#

i can stream on Streamlabs. I just don't know why i can stream on that but not on OBS Live. or OBS for that matter.

shy mountain
#

shy mountain
#

Its worth while to check out the guide just in case

river escarp
#

ya i went through the guide already.

#

that's why i'm reaching out to you guys. i went through a couple forums too.

shy mountain
#

Then try uninstalling OBS.Live

#

and see how OBS Studio on its own acts

river escarp
#

i did that and OBS doesnt' work trying to get on to facebook

shy mountain
#

Then I'm not really sure at this point even if OBS Studio without our plugin is acting like that.

#

they will most likely tell you to read the guide again

quasi snow
#

@river escarp sorry but did you try disabling the beta option you have checked on advanced settings to dynamically change bitrate? not sure if it helps at all but worth checking

Hi all, is there a way to set the audio device for the media request in OBSlive?

@rugged quail 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
rugged quail
#

^ Did what that said, Theres no disconnect button under stream settings

kindred fox
#

@rugged quail click the button that says "Connect Account"

rugged quail
#

it does the exact same thing

#

white window

#

to nowhere

kindred fox
#

and you've deleted the OBS Cookies?

#

is your OBS running as administrator? and what antivirus/firewall software are you using?

rugged quail
#

Yes i deleted cookies, No Admin i can try that, Windows Defender and MWB

#

-1 For running as Admin

#

@kindred fox

did you disable anti virus or any other similar program and tried?

rugged quail
#

Yes

#

@rugged quail 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.

rugged quail
#

Why does that even help any

#

this has nothing to do with my stream lol

#

Im assuming this bot is a person behind the words?

quasi snow
#

helps us to see if there's something blocking it, which there is

Im having the same issue. Started last night after i updated i think.

try this please

balmy pivot

where is ->3) delete %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser\obs_profile_cookies

quasi snow
#

copy it and paste it on a folder url or run command on windows

#

including the %appdata%

balmy pivot
#

ok did it and it still didnt work.

quasi snow
#

followed all steps?

balmy pivot
#

same issue. looks like all of twitch integrations as well as the bot tipping and set up

#

yes sir

#

I cant even close bot tipping and set up

#

which is a big white box and it looks like its covering my main display idk

rugged quail
#

how i put the micr in audio?

steel bladeBOT
quasi snow
#

can you try this too?

balmy pivot
#

still nothing

quasi snow
#

@rugged quail on settings, there's a drop down menu with audio sources

balmy pivot
#

still a big blank box, looks like i still cant close the bot set up ( im assuming thats what it is) my chat is still all white, my overlay wasnt loading yesterday ether when i was streaming. and I no longer have an option for a dock that is stream settings from twitch (like title game etc)

#

i could try uninstalling and reinstalling..

quasi snow
#

did you try reinstalling OBS.Live?

balmy pivot
#

is there an easy way to back up my sources

#

not yet

#

i dont want to lose all my scenes/sources

quasi snow
#

you can save/export them afaik

balmy pivot
#

profile-export?

quasi snow
#

if you can't with OBS.Live try switching to Studio, there should be an option for it

#

I'm not home can't check the name of it but should be yeah

balmy pivot
#

dwdw

#

if i switch to obs studio

#

can i uninstall obs live

#

and not mess with anything

quasi snow
#

yes

#

but still save the scenes/profile

rugged quail
#

yep ohellasara and i are having the EXACT SAME issue

quasi snow
#

yeah @rugged quail

rugged quail
#

its identical

quasi snow
#

if you can/want try reinstalling too

rugged quail
#

ive always had that issue with the main preview screen

#

i did

#

many times

quasi snow
#

and on a different folder?

rugged quail
#

and ive had that issue with OBS for YEARS

#

on different PC's too

quasi snow
#

😼

rugged quail
#

i always dismissed it coz i never used it to stream

#

it was always for recording videos

#

but i recently decided to stream

#

and i want an overlay and i cant do that unless i sign in

#

unless theres another way

quasi snow
#

perhaps there's something blocking it then

rugged quail
#

coz i did all the setup on the website but it doesnt show up

#

Also im using OBS studio already

quasi snow
#

well, you have to add the overlays to OBS for them to show

rugged quail
#

then whats with all that customized stuff on teh web client

quasi snow
#

easier access

#

!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 ☑ “Shutdown source when not visible” https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

quasi snow
#

this is how u add them

rugged quail
#

this one?

quasi snow
#

yes but don't put those in public please

rugged quail
#

ok

#

sorry i didnt know that was sensitive

quasi snow
#

think I deleted fast 😄

rugged quail
#

how do i add a browser source?

#

nvm

quasi snow
#

oh man, you are also a WF fan

rugged quail
#

quasi snow
#

well, haven't stream it in a while though 😄

#

ahh you'll get it, gl

rugged quail

I switched to obs studio then i uninstalled obs live,

rugged quail
#

beyond that, the rest ok?

balmy pivot
#

then reinstalled the obs live and restarted and its all working

rugged quail
quasi snow
#

can you show me the url but in a private msg please?

Hey, so I've been at it for about an hour and can't seem to find a reason to why it's not working
My desktop audio isn't reacting at all in obslive, I have checked so that the settings match with what I'm using and I've made sure to reinstall the software just in case.
Tried a bunch of more things but nothing, would appreciate some help 🙂

honest echo
#

@dawn lynx Have you check the audio options on OBS, Settings > Audio

dawn lynx
#

@honest echo yes, I've tried the different options and none of them work

obs crashed so hard last night during my stream that i had to hit the power button on my pc to get it to shut down. Couldn't save a log, cuz it wouldn't barely let me alt tab. Mouse wouldn't click on anything either. =/ Wish I had a log for ya so I can figure it out. It crashes every few days it seems on my gaming pc, and all my gaming pc is doing is projecting my game to my av.io for capture on my streaming pc.

@rocky cypress 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+)

I personally have not had any issues with the latest version, but the experiences people are having recently would caution against the update

yeah was seeing that, so I'm gonna hold off. Thank you both

I’ve had it installed since Monday and it runs smooth for me on my setup, but I also reinstalled everything from scratch 2 weeks ago

I was having an issue with windows bloat

torn lantern
#

@kindred fox going to stream just to YouTube tonight to see if I’m still 10seconds behind with sound delay. Any tips on settings if it is ?

kindred fox
#

It depends. If your webcam is a few seconds behind your audio you’ll need to add an async filter to your webcam to adjust the delay iirc

#

If the stream delay is between what you say and when it’s said on your stream, that’s normal due to the delay the ingest servers have for processing your stream

#

And running through restream will introduce more latency because you’re sending it to one service which then has to process and transmit to two or three platforms

#

That’s how the internet works

torn lantern
#

It’s when I see me shooting my weapon to when it actually sounds start. It’s 10 seconds

kindred fox
#

Are you using a capture card?

torn lantern
#

Yes. HD60 S +

kindred fox
#

That should be almost 0 latency

#

I’d ask elgato in their discord

#

You have it plugged into a usb 3.0 port right?

#

I think that ones USB-C even

torn lantern
#

It is USB -C and yes. 3.0

kindred fox
#

Yeah, I’d ask the elgato support guys in their discord

torn lantern
#

Sounds good. Thank you.

kindred fox
#

They’d be better at getting that delay down

I appreciate your help

Make sure the "Show Emulated events on stream" option is on to see the alert in OBS

where do I find that?

onyx musk

I've never had any issues with OBS Live until this update

honest echo
shrewd lintel
#

Ok well now the browsers all show the homepage

#

of the website

tulip hamlet
#

Because you reset your token. You should not do that unless advised.

#

You now need to recopy all of your overlay links, as they've changed.

shrewd lintel
#

so take the new browser links and add as sources?

steel bladeBOT
#

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

#

Ok I think I fixed it, thanks everyone

So what's with this update causing my OBS live to use so much of my CPU, it was fine prior to this

slender gust
#

can you not disable the preview/program option in obslive?

versed pagoda
#

So in my chat it says i have 6 subs but on the widget says i have 7

steel bladeBOT
#

@versed pagoda Due to a recent change from Twitch API, these features are affected by the change:

  • Ground Control does not have Custom Bot Name
  • Subscriber count will count the Channel and any other permanent sub you may have (+1 or +2 or +3 on top).
    We are working on fixing both issues, but there is no ETA.
    OBS.Live still has Custom Bot name working fine in it.
versed pagoda
#

so its just a bug

rugged quail
#

It's Twitch messing around with their API and we trying to play catch up, yes

They've become rather notorious for sudden, unannounced changes that break everyone's stuff.
