Hello! I recently imported my alertbox from streamlabs and everything was running fine, then out of the blue my alerts stopped showing up with the text overlayed on the image and instead show up with the text above the image. I have the "text over image" option selected in the overlay settings. What else might I be missing?

I have the exact same problem and unfortunately the solution you provided, @dapper igloo, doesn't work for me either. Could you please look into this?

(I already tried logging out and in again, de- and then reinstalling OBS, and the instructions you gave @tulip wolf. Nothing fixes the custom bot name being grayed out and the bot not connecting after authorization.)

Was streaming to YouTube live on one profile then made a new one for Twitch and clicking "Start Streaming" is opening the YouTube live interface. 🤔

#

I'm not sure if it's a bug with the profiles and the new one not taking precedence or what but this is definitely a first for this problem for me. XD

#

Oh, swapped off of YouTube on the first profile and it's still doing it.

#

On both profiles.

#

And with no YouTube setup it still does it and just errors out. 🤣

#

Keeps double checking to make sure Twitch is what's selected to make sure I'm not dumb

#

And now accounts just won't stay connected and settings defaults to "custom" when I go in and out of a profile. 😐

@rancid yoke ⤵️

If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:

  1. In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
  2. Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
  3. In the Custom bot name field select Set custom bot name, not your already existing username (with capital letters). Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/re4theQ.png).
  4. Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
  5. Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
  6. Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again

# dapper igloo <@441062033862033408> ⤵️

We click "Connect Custom Bot Account", we log in to the alternate Twitch account & authorize access... After which the window closes and nothing happens... The bot is not connected and "Send Test Message" is still greyed-out. I hope that helps clarify the issue better. 😮‍💨

Hi! I have been using streamelements for a while and with an overlay that I am using I can see that it uses 35% cpu ... Not having a separate computer for streaming, is there a way to lower the use of the cpu? Also is it better to have the overlay as a source of obs or as a link for stream elements? Many thanks in advance!

Ola! Estou com problemas, tento me conectar pelo facebook, ele pede a confirmação, eu faço a confirmação porém ele ao invés de me dar a opção de escolher a página que quero fazer a transmissão ele volta para a página inicial (https://streamelements.com/?error=ERR_RETRY_WITH_PAGESELECTOR#_=_). Isto ocorre tanto no programa quando no próprio site oficial. O que eu faço?

Hi! I'm having problems, I try to connect via facebook, it asks for confirmation, I do the confirmation when I reject it, give me the option to choose the page I want to transmit, it goes back to the home page (https://streamelements.com/?error=ERR_RETRY_WITH_PAGESELECTOR#_=_). This occurs both in the program and on the official website itself. What do I do?
Note - I've even formatted the PC and I can't solve it

Hey @remote oyster, when directed to the confirmation page, please select "Edit Settings" and not "Continue as...". Once there, make sure only your gaming page has been selected from the list.

How does the streamdeck-plugin for OBS.Live interact with OBS? How are the calls are made from the streamdeck for something like Pause, Resume and Skip Alerts? Why does OBS have to be running the background for the plugin to work? Can we please get a version of the streameck plugin that does work with only the streamdeck and without OBS? tia

#

How can i get in contact with the author of the OBS.live streamdeck plugin?

kindred fox
#

OBS has to be running because the plug-in is how OBS interacts directly with StreamElements

Yes exactly, but i need to control OBS that is on another PC in the network( streaming PC), from the gaming PC

Is my assumption right that the OBS.Live streamdeck plugin does communicate via websocket with OBS? Or does the streamdeck communicate with OBS via textfiles?

#

Are the API calls to the Streamelements-service made from the streamdeck plugin or from OBS when i hit the button on the streamdeck?

Hi, one of the streamers I mod for is having trouble with the custom bot name feature, whenever it is active none of the commands or modules etc. work in their twitch chat once OBS Live is running.

Long story short, I'm trying to find out where my shoutout !so command is triggering a pullup of the audio of a random clip, and eliminate it. So that the !so command responds and does what it does in CHAT ONLY. It's triggered no matter which scene I'm in, even with scenes that only have my webcam in the sources. Any clue as to where I'd go to eliminate the triggering of the audio? It plays over my desktop audio regardless of what scene i'm in. Help?

  6. Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again

Seems to be that my Activity Feed stopped working via OBS.Live so I added a browser source dock for that feed. This seems to have caused the duplication issue. I removed the browser source dock and re-opened the OBS.Live view...problem solved.

quick patio
# frail lion You can email support and we will ask the devs to look into it. ~~The plugin is ...

Ohh ok. This kind of barrier between the devs/source code and us the users is for someone like me a bit frustrating, as it feels like we as users are dependant on the decisions of the mods, the community managers and executives at streamelements. When something is open source, i can mostly get in contact with the person who is coding the stuff, and get some ideas back and forth. And even if the dev of a project isnt willing to implement my suggested feature, i still have the ability to implement it myself. So i want to please you(whoever is responsible for those kind of decisions), to consider open source your tools like the streamdeck plugin etc. And maybe give us the ability to get in contact with devs or the code. I feel like i have some needs that aren't fulfilled by the current state of what streamelements is offering, but i am willing to put in the time and get something done myself. But if i don't get access to APIs, don't get have any ways to get in contact with devs for asking questions, and cant get the source code or documentation on tools, i feel pretty much lost. I hope that this message reaches someone who cares about it at SE. Thanks in advance

quick patio
# frail lion I was corrected, the plugin is open source. You can download the code on the web...

That's good, and if i understand things correctly the plugin for obs has to be open source because of the licensing of OBS project. It would be nice if SE could also open source their Streamdeck plugin, so i can get the plugin to connect to other OBS-instances in the network, and not only the local OBS installation. Or maybe even better, if the plugin would connect to Streamelements directly and send the request to the service without the need for OBS. Cheers

Hi, is it possible to route song requests in a way that it won't be included in the twitch vod's ? I'm using GoXLR Mini and currently have my browser etc. routed to Music which is taken out in the settings from the vod's. Is this possible for Song Requests?

#

Tried to open the songrequest window from the browser but it still plays on obs and the browser

nova scaffold
#

This is a lot of work and requires extra hardware at least.

rugged quail
#

So if my chrome is currently routed on my goxlr as music and youtube etc. does get cut out from vods, this wont work for the song requests even if i use chrome window to play the music?

nova scaffold
#

This will work if you route the loaded overlay playing the songrequest to that input on the GoXLR

rugged quail
#

I mean, I tried this already but for some reason the song plays on both, chrome and obs

nova scaffold
#

as i do not own this device, i'm not 100% sure how to route it

rugged quail
#

routing is done actually already 🙂

nova scaffold
#

Ah, you need to remove the browser source in OBS of course

#

it will play in any loaded overlay

rugged quail
#

hmm, let's see..

nova scaffold
#

So the media request widget should not be loaded in OBS if you play it in the browser.

rugged quail
#

yeah

#

Aaah okay for some reason even tough I didn't have the dock on OBS it was active, had to add it and remove it

Hi guys I'm having a problem right now w/ my obs.live. First, I can't login to facebook (white screen just showing up after logging in) and last is whenever I'm updating my obs to the latest version, the browser source and streamelements plugin disappears and I tried to update it again, have the streamelements plugin to be downloaded and installed but it's not doing anything. The only fix that I can do is use the old version of streamelements that i have here but still can't login to facebook. Hope you guys can help me. Thanks.

I can't login also through the website (connecting through facebook). It loops me back to the streamelents' login page, not on my dashboard.

it will load up for load screen (when a league game is loading) then I can see from the preview that it "freezes" and just shows a solid image of the load screen with characters selected etc, all my overlays and what have you over top are perfectly fine

Here's the thing: I set my followers and subscribers alerts on a StreamElements overlay. When I emulate the alerts on streamelements.com it works perfect, and I can hear the alert. But when I try it on OBS, alerts show up, but don't sound. I already have the monitoring activated on advance audio settings on OBS, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I've tried anything, but it just doesn't work, could anyone please help me? Thank you in advance!

Im having issues with my alerts...but only in my gameplay scene? They play in all my other scenes ( BRB, Just Chatting etc) but for some reason my gameplay scene does not have alerts coming up when i emulate them.

I have everything in the same order as far as sources throughout the scenes so Im a bit confused as to why its only this scene

oddly enough, in the streamlabs editor the alerts appear perfectly. but in the actual app and live it does not

nova scaffold

Hi. Can you check the positioning and the order of the alertbox? It can be moved off the scene or it can be covered by other sources that are on top of it.

river gulch
#

ive moved it all around the scene and it doesnt appear. my others scenes it appears no matter where i place the alert box

#

the order as well i have my overlay and alerts at the top of the order

#

1.alerts 2. overlay

nova scaffold
#

Can you go to the browser source settings and refresh the cache of the current overlay?

river gulch
#

nothing changed PepeSad

nova scaffold
#

So you still can hear the browser source playing alerts, but they are not visible on that one scene?

#

Can i ask you to remove the source and add the browser source again with that overlay?

river gulch
#

so remove the alert source and the overlay source or just the alert

#

hey stupid question but are alerts married to their corresponding overlay?

nova scaffold
#

Alerts are a browser source. If the scene has no browser source, you will not see them

#

but they can play sound in the background from other scenes

river gulch
#

ok lemme check

#

ok so only audio source active is on that scene i removed the source for the alerts and added it again but same outcome

#

still hear the alert tho

#

im using the same overlay for everything but my gameplay screen. That one i use a dif overlay. there wouldnt be any conflict between certain alerts and overlays right?

nova scaffold
#

There should not be a conflict, but we recommend using the setting "shutdown source when not visible" (browser source settings, where you put the link for the overlay in) to avoid audio issues from multiple alerts on different scenes etc.

river gulch
#

ok i think i got it. I tried a different alert and it appeared only half on the screen and alittle width and height adjustment did the trick. i knew it was something silly pepeSweat Thanks for all your help everyone!

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 check Shutdown source when not visible. https://youtu.be/KDvLynUqXI4

#

My configuration hasn't changed at all in 3.5 months and since last Friday I'm dropping frames all over the place. I tried to downscale things and I still drop frames. Is there something wrong with OBS? I stream to Twitch.

nova scaffold
#

Dropped frames are an indication for network issues mostly. If you see "encoding overloaded" - this would indicate a hardware issue. Change the ingest server and test the stream - this usually helps.

buoyant jay
#

Yeah I'm not getting encoding or rendering lag it's entirely network but I'm on a 450kbps cable connection and there are no issues.

#

I've tried multiple manual Twitch servers also.

plain sonnet
#

450kb?

#

that is extremely low

buoyant jay
#

Sorry 450MB

#

Mbps not kbps

#

I've been running 1080/60 flawlessly since mid-July and then last Friday I started dropping 30-40% of my frames with no config changes. I'm streaming an XBox Series X over an Elgato HD60S+ and OBS is running on a Macbook Pro with the Radeon 5500M video card.. I moved from software to hardware encoding which reduce the CPU load, but it still drops frames.

rugged quail
#

Is anyone aware of how to revert from the OBS Live Beta?

plain sonnet
#

considering internet is very unstable and unpredictable, you dont need to change anything for issues to occur

and as cryonic said above, dropped frames is network, so doing things for your CPU wont do anything to stop it

dapper iglooBOT
#

@buoyant jay ⤵️

Dropped Frames means that you have a bad connection between your device and the streaming platform and most likely something related to your ISP not handling the connection properly.

Speed tests usually cannot help solve this problem and its best to use this guide: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Dropped-Frames-and-General-Connection-Issues

If you stream to twitch, use the !twitchtest command and do a connection test to your regional servers.

stable shoal
#

im starting to think no one has the answer to the issue im having, specially checking the history see if anyone got a answer in the discord history. So far no one has there question answered

buoyant jay
#

I've run speedtests and my jitter and packets are great and I'm running great speeds.

plain sonnet
#

right, but this isnt a speed test (as it says in the description)

#

please read what the bot says

I did. Can't use Twitchtest. It's for Windows only.

There are a variety of tools to test your network performance. Not too familiar with OSX, but i would check ping plotter

I'm not sure where to ask this: I'm working with Amazon Live currently - StreamElements isn't able to connect o it to see Follower alerts, for example. Is there a way to manually activate a follower alert with something like a streamdeck from elgato?

How's it going, I recently switched to obs and have been testing it out. I've come across this issue where when I drag obs onto my second monitor it gets cut off. Is there any fix for this?

arctic scaffold
#

A more general question - StreamElements and most of its widgets are attached or pull information from the networks it can connect to. i.e: Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, etc. Is there any way to use some of its widgets like alerts, in a platform that is StreamElements can't conenct to. Even if triggered manually? Since I main platform is none of those, I can't activate most of the assets StreamElements has, unless I can somehow do it manually. Any help would be appreciated.

quick atlas
arctic scaffold
quick atlas
#

What are you trying to trigger manually?

arctic scaffold
#

Honestly, anything - new follower alert, even if it can't pull a name, for example.

#

if i see a new follower, press a button, and do the alert/emote. Works with a gif as source, but an actual alert would be 10x better.

quick atlas
#

The alerts would either need to be triggered by a live event, or done manually through the editor via emulation. The OBS.Live Stream Deck features need live alerts

To reset goals:

  • from the Overlay Editor > Session data on top right (monitor symbol) > Goals 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 lose followers/subs.

Hi everyone

#

I’m new to obs live and streaming, I set up alerts by copying the URL from streamelements to obs via browser

The only problem is when the alert goes off, the alert only shows the left side like it’s cut off

#

I don’t have any other source in front blocking it or anything

dapper iglooBOT

@cunning lichen ⤵️

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

You can test alerts via the Emulate bell on the lower left side of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard > My Overlays > pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the Preview LIVE on stream option is on to see the alert in OBS/XSplit** https://streamable.com/vtulg9

Good Morning. I came in yesterday re:dropped frames since Friday. I have called my ISP and we ran all the necessary tests. No packet loss. No jitter issues. I am still dropping frames when I stream to Twitch, over 200k frames on a 3.5 hour stream last night. While I am capable of 6000 bitrate and 1080p60, I turned it down to 720p60 and 2500 bitrate and I STILL drop network frames. One thing I notice is when I set a fixed bitrate, OBS will still surge to over 13000 bitrate and then crash to under 1000, even with bitrate limited in preferences. Is there anything else I can do? Sorry for wall of text.

nova scaffold
buoyant jay
#

I've tried Auto. I've tried closest server (Atlanta) and I have tried some further away as some resources have recommended (Virginia). I am in Charlotte, NC area.

nova scaffold
#

The ISP might not be able to help you since they have no clue about twitch streaming servers and the routing in that specific case

buoyant jay
#

The tech I spoke with is a streamer actually. I lucked out.

#

I can't run twitchtest because I'm streaming via Mac and it is Windows only. XBox Series X > Elgato > Macbook Pro. I did look at inspector and it does appear the failures are happening on the ATL server only, but when I use the Virginia server it appears to have no unstable events. I could try Virginia again, but it has failed before during this time.

nova scaffold
#

I would suggest doing a few test streams with Inspector on different servers and figure out the issues here

#

The data can also help your ISP to figure out what is wrong

#

but this could be outside of your network so the ISP is usually not able to assist

buoyant jay
#

It's strange. Everything was great for 3.5 months and then last Friday the bottom fell out. Do you know why OBS would do that bitrate surge I mentioned? I'll set the max bitrate to say, 4500 and it will spike at over 10000 in some instances.

nova scaffold
#

It is not OBS, it is the network. And the network is a complex things, your routing might go through multiple networks from different providers before it reaches the server.

buoyant jay
#

Sure I understand that. I work in tech ops for a living. That's what has me tearing my hair out about this. I have tried everything.

nova scaffold
#

OBS just shows you what is happening in that case, aka the network is not able to handle the livestream feed without issues

#

If you have access to a windows machine (or running windows in bootcamp on your OSX device) you can use the twitch test tool to determine the server connections to all twitch servers around you

#

We are not aware of any tools like that for OSX, so out of luck here a bit

buoyant jay
#

Yeah I don't want to bootcamp. I've got VMWARE and a virtual machine installed on here. Maybe I'll do it that way.

nova scaffold
#

Worth a shot

And you have it set to capture both the launcher and game or just the game?

I have seperate scenes for lobby and ingame itself

#

if I am able to screen share to you it is much easier to understand when you can see it

#

lobby has 0 issues at all, window capture

#

ingame refuses to be picked up anymore, just loads a single frame then sticks... Riot are no help, they've pretty much ruled out everything they can and are determined that the issue is in obs.live

this is new -

the "windows graphics capture..." is working ?

only thing that is tho

should just be game capture....

I'm testing again with OBS.Live installed to verify that it's OBS.Live

so far it's capturing....

it normally did for me too

and now it doesn't axelxyShrug

I dunno what to tell you. It's something with the game capture.

#

set it to auto

#

not specific window

#

its no different

is it possible to revert to a previous update?

  1. In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
  2. Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
  3. In the Custom bot name field select Set custom bot name, not your already existing username (with capital letters). Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/re4theQ.png).
  4. Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
  5. Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
  6. Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again

why host alerts works but not autohost??? pls helpme

dapper iglooBOT
#

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.

When I put my info in it recognizes me and asks continue as my name then the next screen would say choose the profile but it stays stuck at the a white screen like it’s loading. I tried it with twitch and that worked, but I don’t use twitch anymore. Any suggestions on how to get past that white screen to choose the profile and load Facebook?

I'm using the default StreamElements twitch chat widget. I've got the following code in my Browser Source Settings.

  border-radius: 0px; !important
}

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work, but I know the code itself is working. Two images attached, one with border-radius set to 70px (to show the code is working), and one with it set to 0px (to show there's still a curve for some reason!) I'd love it to have no curve at all.

nova scaffold
#

Hi. Can i ask you why you wish to use custom CSS in the OBS browser source settings in that case? Specially for simple things like the border radius?

#

This can be done on our end with custom CSS too if you need it as a custom widget with rounded corners.

warm thorn
#

In the default Chat Widget for SE (which is what I'm using) there's no way to get to the code that I can see. 😦

What I'm actually trying to achieve is having ZERO rounded corners. I want them edges. But doing that code with 0 still leaves 1-2px of rounded.

#

Normally if it lets me at the code I'm used to seeing "Open Editor" in Settings, but with SE's chat there isn't that button.

I don't know how to create a fully custom widget, that's why I'm trying to use the CSS options in OBS. 😅

nova scaffold
#

Sadly same applies to me, i'm not into coding so i can't help much in this case.

#

And i have not seen anything similar here on our discord so far so i could point you into the right direction.

#

I would recommend checking the OBS project discord - we only provide a plugin and do not change how the styling options in OBS work.

#

So they might know the answer.

warm thorn
#

Okay I'll see if they can give it a shot, thanks!

Also, are we able to figure out my alerts issue? I posted an update to that: It's still doing the base alert seemingly at random.

nova scaffold
warm thorn
#

Oh my gosh that option is probably it. I assumed it picked an alert randomly FROM THE MATCHING CRITERIA. Not just completely at random.

#

But now that means there's just... no way to do what I want? My alerts are for a "dice roll" effect. That's why 5%. A 20 sided die, each alert shows one of the numbers 1-20. 5% chance each.

nova scaffold
toxic fern
#

No D20 for you 1128_KEK4K

warm thorn
nova scaffold
toxic fern
nova scaffold
#

So if you mess with the chances, you want that feature turned off.

warm thorn
#

Right but if I turn it off... my 1-20 alerts need to NOT have the same chances, which I need them to for a random d20 roll.

#

If I try to work that "base alert" in by making it say, 1, and then have the other 19 as normal and keep that option ON... that means the first time someone ever subs it'll ALWAYS show the 1 and I'll never be able to have a base alert.

#

Is there any way to exclude that base alert from the "pick alert randomly" option? Or a clever way to accomplish what I want that I'm not seeing?

nova scaffold
#

If you turn that off, the chances will apply for each individual alert. So if you have 20 of them with 5% chance, it will roll the dice and pick one with a 5% chance and since this is random it can pick whatever.

warm thorn
#

Oh wait really?

#

So if I turn that off, it'll still look at 5% chance on each of the 20 and pick one?

#

Oh... no with that option off, it just took the alert at the top with a 5% chance and turned off every other alert with a 5% chance. 😦

nova scaffold
#

Try to turn them on

warm thorn
#

They're "On" they're just greyed out?

nova scaffold
#

The system is designed to have either pick one random from multiple alerts OR use the chances so you can create the variations with chances.

#

Something strange is going on, can you give me your channel name and the overlay name and i take a look at it?

warm thorn
#

It might actually be okay? They're greyed out but doing some sample tests it looks like they're rolling random?

I'd still really appreciate you taking a look just in case my overlay is messed up somehow.

Channel name is "Shaeandra" and overlay is just called "Alerts"

#

Oh... no it just did the base alert. Arrrgh. (So we're not taking up space I'm also okay with going to a thread or DM, or if you're fine with it here is still good)

nova scaffold
#

Checking it now

#

Ok, might have changes since i last looked at that feature. With that button enabled the alerts will be picked randomly based on the chance now. Sorry for the confusion.

#

We can remove the base alert and create a variation for 1 month to bypass the issue, since we can't put a chance on the base alert.

warm thorn
#

Okay so what exactly do I need to do? Since I tried "removing" the base alert by just wiping the sound and image that displays but that didn't remove it. It just made it so that when it was "picked randomly" nothing happened at all.

#

I do, by the way, have a Variation called "Base Alert" that is "When months subscribed is exactly 1" -- that works great if it's the case.

But the moment someone is resubscribing, that actual base alert gets folded into the "chances" and I don't know how to "remove the base alert"

nova scaffold
#

for example subscriber with exactly 2 months will trigger only that variation if it exists

warm thorn
#

So I want to...

  1. Wipe out the image/sound/text from the base alert.

  2. Keep my chances 1-20 variations at 5% (when months sub greater than 2)

  3. Have a Base Alert variant for when months subbed equals exactly 1.

  4. "Pick an alert randomly when more than one matches" should be ON?

nova scaffold
#

Yes, try it. And turn it ON. it seems to have changed at some point and i missed the change, sorry for the confusion

warm thorn
#

Okay giving it a go, fingers crossed. And can I also just say thanks for working with me instead of saying "can't be done too bad" -- in fact, Cryonic, I think you're the person I ALWAYS get when I message StreamElements... you're a machine! haha

#

I don't think it's doing it proper. In SE I got an animation (rolled a 3) but on OBS absolutely nothing happened (which is what I'd expect if it picked the base alert, which is currently set to nothing at all)

#

If I do a test alert of 1 month exactly it works perfectly with the "base alert variant months = 1" every time.

#

If I do Emulate --> Sub --> Custom and then put more than 1 month... sometimes it'll do the rolls (it picks 2, or 7, or 13, etc.) but sometimes... nothing at all happens. (Probably hitting that base "nothing" alert)

So it seems like blanking it doesn't disable it?

nova scaffold
#

Let me try that a bit more

#

will be a live test so if you see emulated alerts - those are me messing with them

warm thorn
#

Okay for sure!

#

ALSO, and I don't know if this matters... what I see on my StreamElements editor isn't what I see on OBS.

So like... I'll see you (or me whoever) roll a 13 and on OBS it rolls a 17. Is that an issue or just how it works?

And for the purposes of your test... this is happening. In my OBS I've seen it roll when you saw nothing, and vice-versa.

nova scaffold
#

I do some tests without saving the overlay so the changes are not reflected in OBS on your end

#

But yes, it is me testing it

#

This works as intended with the base alert set to 19, i have that set to 19.

#

So you can remove the variation with the number 19 now and keep everything else enabled, it will be randomized properly.

warm thorn
#

Aha so we've used that "pick at random" and worked WITH the base one. Really though it's true random so that 5% could be set to anything right? Once it looks at the variants and base and goes "these 20 things meet the condition" then it just picks one at complete random (or however you guys are doing your random algorithm.

#

So now I've got a "Base Variant" alert that'll always work when someone is a NEW sub (instead of the actual base alert) and then the ACTUAL base alert is one of the "chances" to roll, along with the other 19 variants... which it picks at random.

Is that right?

#

Not

nova scaffold
# glass oriole Is my post invisible?

No, but we are looking into the issue. Do you have more details - did that start after an update of some sort? New drivers for the GPU, OBS update, OBS.Live update?

#

First time i see this issue.

#

Does that persist after a PC restart?

glass oriole
#

It just started randomly. I've restarted multiple times it does it no matter what

#

There was no update or anything

nova scaffold
#

So nothing was updated? Windows, drivers, clients - everything the same?

glass oriole

It was out of the blue it started.

nova scaffold
glass oriole
#

I've done that already

#

That's why it's so puzzling to me

nova scaffold
#

With the stable release for OBS.Live?

glass oriole
#

Yea

nova scaffold
#

21.9.27.783

This is the stable OBS.Live version

#

Very weird issue.

Can i recommend something a bit more advanced?

#

I don't use the beta or the default I always use the stable

#

Yes please do

nova scaffold
#

Use Display Driver Uninstaller to wipe your GPU driver and then reinstall it. DDU is a free and safe tool that makes sure that everything that is related to the graphics driver is uninstalled

#

Since this is a visual glitch and it persists through a reinstall, i would try that next

glass oriole
#

I did that last night for a different reason then this but it still did not change it.

#

I was having issues with a game so I wiped the old gpu drivers to reinstall clean

nova scaffold
#

Mh, things get weirder and weirder.

#

Is that the only glitch you noticed?

#

outside of the game issues before, i assume those are fixed now

glass oriole
#

Yea thats the only issue I've had other then hardware acceleration causing my obs to crash and black screen my pc

nova scaffold
#

I'm not exactly sure what is causing this issue. Looks like a local issue for sure and as the next step i would recommend testing it with a simple GPU swap, of course if you have a spare GPU to test it

glass oriole
#

That's a no lol

nova scaffold
#

The issues you described lead to the GPU in that case

glass oriole
#

One was hard enough to find

nova scaffold
#

and yeah i know, GPUs are worth their weight in gold these days xD

glass oriole
#

That they are

nova scaffold
# glass oriole That they are

I know this sounds weird, but maybe the windows installation took a wrong turn somewhere. Getting to the root cause of that issue might be very tricky, this is the only report so far.

#

And from what i have seen - hardware acceleration bugging out, games not functioning and now the visual glitch in OBS - i could recommend a fresh windows install if this is an option. Just in case.

#

In general it is really hard to track down those issues and a reinstall is often a faster fix.

glass oriole
#

Yea ill end up doing that I think.

But I’m pretty sure DaVinci can do it. If not you can Google webm converter and see if it will export the alpha channel

hello! i'm curious if the position where the chat messages in the chat widget on the overlays can be changed? instead of starting from the bottom, it gets sent from the top? thanks!

kindred fox

There may be a widget that does that

oooh okay, thanks @kindred fox !

Hi guys, I've been streaming for 6 months using OBS Studio with StreamElements added on. I've had no problems until last week when suddenly, the browser that OBS Studio uses won't load the StreamElements website in order to log in to reset my session, it's just a white box with nothing in it. How do I go about this?

@void berry ⤵️

StreamElements menu, on top of OBS > Logout > Login

#

Brilliant, it worked. Thank you 👍

Hi I need some help if possible… I am a streamer and for some reason now every time I click start streaming in OBS the program goes to “not responding”. Video source via Stream key on Facebook gaming. I’ve streamed so much in the past and had no problems but just recently it doesn’t work at all. I have ran in admin mode, prioritised OBS on graphics settings etc. anyone that could help?? Thanks in advanced

Hey Guys, i got a big problem, idk what it is but it is someting... okay so well basically, i was Streaming yesterday everything was fine and worked normaly, and i wanted to Stream again today BUT when i open it, it keeps opening Twitch Tabs over and over again and i dont know why, like there is no key stuck that would do it or something, i reinstalled it and idk what to do

#

And if its unclear what i mean i could do a Video of it so someone of the Staff could see what i mean 😅

void flower
#

And i really like OBS Studio with Steamelements and i dont wanna switch

hardy oak
#

guys why does streamelements stop responding to my bot?? this is the second time this is happening in two days. the only fix ive found it making a new bot account. Its so annoying. Reinstalling doesnt help either

Can you try to remove it and check if the bot works?

Still not working

If your commands recently stopped working and you're using OBS.Live and a custom bot name do the following:

  1. In OBS.Live, click on the hamburger menu (three stripes) at the top left of your activity feed
  2. Click on Stream Settings > Custom bot name
  3. In the Custom bot name field select Set custom bot name, not your already existing username (with capital letters). Note: If you already connected an account that way, the third entry will show as the account name (see image https://i.imgur.com/re4theQ.png).
  4. Scroll a bit down and click on the purple Connect Custom Bot Account button
  5. Log in as usual and Authorize the custom bot name
  6. Back in the Activity feed, click on the Send Test Message button and check if your custom bot name starts working again

Try it this way please

#

Can you give me your channel name? I check the bot status

hardy oak
#

nova scaffold
#

Custom bot name is still enabled

#

Try this fix please:

dapper iglooBOT
#
  1. Right-click your OBS desktop shortcut (not the OBS.Live shortcut) and navigate to Properties
  2. In the Target field, add the following to the very end: --remote-debugging-port=40404 (don't forget to add a space before the current path)
    https://streamelements.is-serious.business/6ihr2EL.jpg
  3. Open OBS (or restart if it was open)
  4. Open your web browser and type in: localhost:40404 (try 127.0.0.1:40404 if you see issues - https://streamelements.is-serious.business/3EGPQFJ.jpg)
  5. Click on StreamElements - Activity feed - https://streamelements.is-serious.business/2kJYt2b.jpg
  6. Type the following into the console and hit enter: store.customBot.removeCustomBotIntegration()
  7. Try setting the custom bot name, make sure you follow https://strms.net/custombotname
  8. Remove the flag added in step 2 from your shortcut properties
hardy oak
nova scaffold
#

The custom bot name is still enabled, if you follow the steps exactly it will be turned off.

#

You need to return the bot to the basic StreamElements name first.

Is there a widget that displays both Date and Time? (sorry if this doesn't belong in this channel)

Is there anything you guys have seen with obs live and windows 11 giving weird system studders? Or is that just an OBS / windows 11 bug? I shouldn't have any issues with running it but i've noticed some studdering when i just have it open and I'm playing anything. just curious I guess

hardy oak
nova scaffold
#

This is what you need to do so you can then keep using the bot with the default name or rename it again

  1. Try setting the custom bot name
nova scaffold
#

Yes, you can ignore the step 7 if you want to leave the bot as StreamElements

#

Step 7 is so you can try if the fix was successful for the custom bot name change part, not just resetting the bot

hardy oak
#

Im using StreamElments as the botname. Custom bot name isn't even set.

nova scaffold
#

And i see that the StreamElements bot is responding correctly in your channel now

hardy oak
#

No.. it is not

nova scaffold
#

So the custom bot name is removed now and it is working as intended

hardy oak
nova scaffold
hardy oak
#

look again

nova scaffold
#

I just tested it

#

You need to understand that commands have a cooldown

#

It will respond once the cooldown is over to prevent spam

#

test different commands please

hardy oak
#

Please check

nova scaffold
#

Yes everything is working as expected in that case, the bot is set to the default name and is responding according to commands and the cooldowns for the commands

#

If you keep spamming the same command, it will not respond until that command is off cooldown.

hardy oak
#

what do you mean it is responding correctly? you see it is NOT responding to the green username yes?

#

the first !accountage is the first ever time that command has been typed, and its from the green username

#

I dont see how it could be on cooldown iff it's the first time its ever typed....

#

I will even make a new test command to show you

Hey
I have a problem with OBS.Live that if I press Start Streaming I am told that I am live, but I stay offline on Twitch. Anyone have an idea what I can do there?

kindred fox

Works fine

hardy oak
# kindred fox

Yes, of couse it does. It's not working for a specific user; giantpogchamp

hardy oak
rugged quail
#

any one have experiance with lag spikes in stream of StreamElements? when i open GameCapture HD i dont have this problem

nova scaffold
# hardy oak

@hardy oak Please let that user test the commands without testing them yourself for a bit, see if the user management is set correctly for the command levels etc. The bot is set up correctly in this case.

hardy oak
#

I will make a new command and test it ONLY with giantpogchamp to show you

Hello. I have been trying to fight this error for over a day now, and am feeling like I'm out of options. I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling to no luck many times. Not sure if this is an OBS live issue or the base studio being broken, but figured I'd ask.

nova scaffold
dapper iglooBOT
nova scaffold
hardy oak
#

Sure can we take this to DM?

nova scaffold
#

No DM's please unless we request it.

#

I just checked, the bot has no filters set up at all

#

So this is correct and nothing should be blocked in that case

hardy oak
#

how am i meant to let you login then?

nova scaffold
#

I have admin access

#

So i was able to check the bot settings and those are correct

hardy oak
#

So you just need my consent then? i consent

nova scaffold
#

Do you have another bot maybe that would filter out the responses here? On our end we can't replicate the issue

zinc atlas
#

When I try and get those, I get an error here too. When I open the log files, It says that I cannot download it when I have a newer version installed? meaning that the original error shouldn't have happened in the first place?

kindred fox

I have removed him as moderator on the StreamElements user management and added him again. Please test commands one more time

#

If that does not help then we have either a bug or a third party is blocking it

hardy oak
#

Ive had a friend try the test commands

zinc atlas
kindred fox
hardy oak
nova scaffold
#

Because on our end everything that could filter it is disabled and we are unable to replicate the issue

hardy oak
#

No I dont have anything, idk what that would even be

#

I will even restart my pc and try again with only firefox open in the chat

#

be back in 2 mins

hardy oak

relog does nothing

kindred fox
hardy oak
#

Yes

kindred fox
#

It’s definitely something with that user

#

This is gonna sound really dumb, but Unmod them and test

hardy oak
#

Its my account, theres no 3rd party software at all either

#

Ok

kindred fox
#

Wow

hardy oak
#

Yep

kindred fox
#

That’s a weird one

nova scaffold
#

Did you try to remove the moderator status from this user and adding it back?

hardy oak
#

Its removed currently, but I will try with it added back

kindred fox
#

Have you tried parting the bot from your channel and joining it back via the dashboard?

hardy oak
#

How do I go about parting the bot?

#

Oh i have found it

#

Ok, it's parted. Im going to confirm

#

Ok confirmed. now i will add it back

#

OMG

#

i think it worked????!

kindred fox
#

yay

hardy oak
#

Ok that fixed it

#

That tells me it's nothing to do with my end

nova scaffold
#

Yeah, that can't be on your end since it is a cloud bot and the Twitch chat

hardy oak
#

i see

#

well i have no idea then

how do you connect your youtube account to obs.live

By logging in with YouTube. If you are already logged in with a different platform - go to the top menu > StreamElements > Logout.

Hi hi, I'm new to streaming. Want to start doing so on twitch. However I just got OBS and not sure what to do with it. I hit start streaming and it says I have no video output. Where I'm trying to get to is where I can jsut plug in my game daily and then play and stream with my face in the corner.

Hi. i am new to streamelements and would like to know is there a way to test the alert boxes in obs

dapper iglooBOT

@brisk seal ⤵️

You can test alerts via the Emulate bell on the lower left side of the Overlay Editor. Simply go to your Dashboard > My Overlays > pencil/edit button on the overlay. Make sure the Preview LIVE on stream option is on to see the alert in OBS/XSplit** https://streamable.com/vtulg9

is that the website i have to go to ior is there a download for my overlays?
