This one.

obsidian agate
#

yep, the Dock is just the popout chat from Twitch, and whispers dont appear on that normally

harsh topaz
#

Don't think it's a priority, most people talk back to their users since they're the streamer :3

wise linden
harsh topaz
#

Is it still just the popout? LUL

obsidian agate
#

yes, its no different from the Twitch popout as far as I am aware

#

i think its JUST the twitch popout

wise linden
#

I run a bot via whisper commands on my stream to set titles and moderate chat. It'd be nice to be able to run it via OBS instead of having to open a whole nother window

harsh topaz
#

I only use the docked popout since I use channels that aren't my logged in account. So didn't know.

wise linden
#

Much cleaner to be able to whisper the commands to the bot instead of posting !whatever in chat every time.

harsh topaz
#

Ah, true. You can't send commands to it via something else?

dusk river
#

yo anyone here know how to fix my problem
like when i stream it only lets me stream for 30 secs

obsidian flicker
mortal harbor
#

would anyone know why /command=TriggerHotkeyByKeySequence,keyId="OBS_HOTKEY(OBS_KEY_9)" is not working in OBSCommand? i've gotta have some part of the syntax wrong but i can't figure it out :/

harsh topaz
#

Urgh, shit I wonder how far back I gotta dig in my comments..

obsidian agate
#

Is this 4.9.1 or 5?

mortal harbor
#

me? 4.9.1

harsh topaz
obsidian agate
#

Hmm, and just realized you are trying to trigger by hotkey, not name… my issue was with hotkey names

mortal harbor
#

BOOM thank you @harsh topaz

harsh topaz
#

🙏

#

Back when I used OBSCommander giggle

mortal harbor
#

/command=TriggerHotkeyByName,hotkeyName="Middle Right"

simple tusk
#

friends we have update of this plugin??. or it still works the same... Animated Lower Thirds with Dockable Control Panel

spiral ruin
obsidian agate
simple tusk
#

because you say so, which is crossed, this is the plugin room

mortal harbor
obsidian agate
#

It could trigger the Next hotkey via ByKeys (whatever the name was) but not ByName

#

Yeah. Not sure if WS5 changes anything

harsh topaz
#

adv-ss has its own WS

neon basin
#

Does anyone on here use the source record plugin? And if so, do you actually get it to work? It keeps putting me in a "Stopping Recording" Loop

harsh topaz
#

Yea, use it for Replays.

#

It's... finniky

#

Various strange things can straight up break it or crash OBS.

neon basin
#

At one point it worked perfect, and then out of no where it completely flipped on me

harsh topaz
#

You updated v28? maybe that did something.

neon basin
#

I would normally say yes, but it's been happening to me for a while now

#

Should i try to download v27 again and see if it cooperates?

harsh topaz
#

If it deadlocks on Stopped Recording that's a tough one. I'd probably try different settings until I found something that didn't do it.

#

And report it with a log to Exeldro on the github.

#

But he's very busy atm, and that plugin is a... handful. So might not get a lot happening.

neon basin
#

It was working normally, and then I added source record to the video sources and it started locking up on me

#

Maybe I can take it back to v27.... or v26, since thats what the plugin has on the site

harsh topaz
#

I have it working on a Scene using it to replay the last 15 sec of that scene.

#

You tried adding it to Scene instead of source?

#

Also check your settings, try using a different encoder.

#

See if you can get it to work properly.

stark karma
#

I get this on startup, The SteamDeckPlugin is up to date, and I have no clue how to get rid of obs-virtualoutput

#

Delete the StreamDeck.dll & .pdb files, and the warning goes away.

stark karma
#

what plugin folder?

harsh topaz
#

You're trying to use plugins that aren't compatible with the OBS version.

#

Probably in \obs-plugins\64bit\

sleek marsh
#

I am infinitely confused as to what version of StreamFX I need for OBS28

small creek
#

there is an alpha out for 28, but a stable release has not yet come out

fossil wyvern
sleek marsh
#

Is the alpha semi stable in tests by users? Lol

#

I know alpha means issues likely but just curious

harsh topaz
#

I've not seen anything yet just running it basic.

fossil wyvern
#

sorry wasn't exactly sure if it'd fit better in dev or in here

harsh topaz
#

I've not thoroughly tested it, but it doesn't crash on launch, and it does blur on/off 😄

mystic forum
# fossil wyvern sorry wasn't exactly sure if it'd fit better in dev or in here
  1. compiling on 20.04 should be no issue, only uses 22.04 since it has qt6 easily available, if you wanna compile with qt5 I'm not entirely sure if that still works thh I dont think I've tried since updating to qt6, otherwise if you manually install qt6 on 20.04 there should be no problem.
  2. well, lemme DM you about how to do that lynLUL

I’ve also got a weird issue with AdvSS and matching that I can’t make work. It’ll match, but I can’t get an “unmatch” action to work, and a global “scene changed” doesn’t work because it butts heads with the other things in other match actions

#

Matching beautiful, unmatching not working lol

fossil wyvern
harsh topaz
#

and a global “scene changed” doesn’t work because it butts heads with the other things in other match actions
Sounds to me like you need to be a little more specific in your other matching macros criteria

stark karma
#

StreamDeck integration stopped working with the new OBS version

sleek marsh
#

Its pretty specific, but there are multiple match conditions that could happen within a current scene

fossil wyvern

Because, to be kind, it's a pile of buttcheeks.

All the old issues they fixed for v27, are back 😄

obsidian agate
#

Specifics, not hyperbole please

fossil wyvern
#

lmao

obsidian agate
#

ahh

harsh topaz
#

Well. It misses sources in scenes.

#

It doesn't sort scenes.

#

It has issues connecting sometimes.

#

It does weird loads which is really annoying.

obsidian agate
#

yeah, the whole “it only gets half the list” thing

harsh topaz
#

It isn't at all backwards compatible. If you open your stuff without backing up first, you're basically screwed.

#

That's just what I managed to figure out until I gave up 😄

stark karma
harsh topaz
#

So yea, Backup your %appdata% Elgato folder before updating 😄

obsidian agate
#

Whats really weird… even though they have a streamdeck plugin, they still go thru OBS websocket to communicate with OBS.

What is the deck plugin doing then?

fossil wyvern
harsh topaz
sleek marsh
harsh topaz
#

Otherwise how are they getting feedback on what scene isnt "active"?

#

That's always the issue with WS, no real feedback.

sleek marsh
# sleek marsh

The “match” works. The “does not match” does not

stark karma
#

Okay, new stream deck plugin is funky but it works now i guess

harsh topaz
sleek marsh
#

Just simply has location & file that “does not match”

harsh topaz
#

The threshold would change the results from the two things.

#

Strange it wouldnt have a threshold.

harsh topaz
#

There 🙂

sleek marsh
#

Ok I will try that and see n report back

hey does any one know how to fix obs websocket / streamlabs chatbot obs remote? or is there a way to revert obs back to previous version

fossil wyvern
sleek marsh
#

So, what (without damaging the “crop” existing for our split screen view) — can I do, to fix it going outside the box when sizing back up? These are all filters for transform that are triggered by automation…and I’m afraid of any changes to the base item itself as that could wreck my hard work into getting all the other moving/changing filters

#

Background not normally this color, doing for visibility

#

You’ll see it go past the area on sizing back up

#

I take far too much pride in the co-op streams 😆

lyric rivet
#

doe anyone know how to get my obs to connect to my stream deck?

mortal harbor

Nope, these are game capture

harsh topaz

Not entirely sure I understand the setup happening there tbh 😐

That is what I’m trying to fix/prevent

Whenever someone has a moment for a quick side conversation, could someone fill me in on the status of obs-ndi?

lyric rivet

all good

#

i had the shortcut in a folder so it didnt show it like that

mortal harbor
#

you don't get any errors running that?

lyric rivet
#

nope it says change repair or remove

mortal harbor
#

since im mostly out of ideas, press remove and let it remove, then run it again.

#

when you run it again, make note of the folder it says it's installing to. let me know what that is.

lyric rivet
#

C:\Program Files\Elgato\obs\obs-plugins\64bit\

mortal harbor
#

okay that isn't where it should be set to

#

one sec

lyric rivet
#

sorry i accidentally hit enter

mortal harbor
#

if it isn't set to that, set it to that manually. if you're typing that path, make sure there are no typos.

lyric rivet
#

it was set to that already ^_^

mortal harbor
#

OH you edited the path, i didn't see.

lyric rivet
#

yeah that was my bad

mortal harbor
#

uhm, i'm not sure. this may be something worth contacting elgato about.

#

!elgatosupport

oblique yewBOT
mortal harbor
#

we can try one more thing actually

harsh topaz
#

Wait

#

Elgato's default path is wrong

mortal harbor
#

nah its right.

harsh topaz
#

You have to select your OBS

#

Nah, I tried with default.

#

I couldn't get it to work.

#

I selected my OBS folder, it installed plugin and worked.

mortal harbor
#

i tried with that path and it worked fine.

harsh topaz
#

O.o

mortal harbor
#

but either way, that is the "one more thing" i was going to suggest 😄

harsh topaz
#

How is it supposed to install the plugin into OBS folder

#

When the path is /elgato/

mortal harbor
#

streamdeck software copies it or something.

harsh topaz
#

Sigh, why do they have to be like this.

sleek marsh
harsh topaz
#

Just fucking release a regular plugin like everyone else.

#

ree

lyric rivet
mortal harbor
lyric rivet
#

this is the issue lol

harsh topaz
#

Then removes crop going back

mortal harbor
# lyric rivet

go to that folder that it installed to and that it installed to and copy the files to your OBS plugin folder

harsh topaz
#

If you press a button on stream deck, it stayed pressed down as long as you're on that scene. Or source hidden/shown.

There's no feedback from WebSocket when something changes with that scene/source.

#

This is a major grief I have with Companion for example that uses WS.

#

I think that's their main reason for sticking to plugin style.

sleek marsh
#

I switched to Touch Portal and have never looked back…stream deck lives in a drawer lol

harsh topaz

They just seem to overcomplicate things sometimes.

something is broken with the elgato installer and i am just not sure. i'm going to have to defer to elgato support.

Ah yes, Elgato support. Type stuff in a formula and wait for email. I'm patiently waiting for low level tech to get back to me that they can't help me 😄

If anyone else has suggestions too I’m open to listen

He recently added "If websocket" > Message.

#

I've not found a good way to trigger it properly yet. But if I find something (or if you find something) we can butt heads over it at some point 😛

mortal harbor
#

i was also wondering haha

harsh topaz
#

Hah, I havent looked but I'm thinking elgato streamdeck plugin.

#

But, I need v28 Elgato Streamdeck software to work first before I even bother going there.

mortal harbor

but i don't plan on switching all my stuff. zero benefit.

Websocket option only on adv-ss 1.18 for v28 right?

unzip the file, drag the 2 folders inside the unzipped folder into your main obs folder location.
it will put the files into the appropriate places inside the obs folder.

hardy thicket
small creek
#

I presume both PCs are using obs 28

hardy thicket
#

Correct

#

I got a fairly lengthy crash log .txt file

#

Confirmed it still works in 27 so hopefully I didn't break anything too badly

small creek
#

27 is still an option until all the plugin functionality is sorted out.

hardy thicket
#

Yeah I might just do that due to my lack of familiarity

#

Thank you for the help and the link regardless

trim iron
#

Is there a fix for getting Stream Deck to work with the new OBS update?

#

nevermind, I fixed it

sleek marsh
#

Other than the delay which might be a flaw in the fact AdvSS has a minimum delay, most of the automations are in place now - was testing from screenshots lol 😆

regal breach
#

what is that playing in the second box? videos or window capture?

sleek marsh
#

Both sides are each a capture card lol

#

For our co op forza streams

#

So when on a screen where things people would want to see are hidden — it moves the “screen” accordingly

regal breach
sleek marsh
#

But no, that’s all within capture card and will be happening during the streams - on both sides of the screen. 2 Xboxes & 2 cap cards

#

It’ll be less jarring when in actual game I’m sure but it’s not basically instant like Pixel Match Switcher was…which I believe has died off completely …no signs of OBS28 interest from their end

#

Plus I was getting tired of running a custom fork of OBS just for their tool and always being a version or two behind

regal breach
#

adv-ss has image matching

sleek marsh
#

Which is what has that delay above

regal breach
#

can i see your macro?

#

for one, you can adjust adv-ss checking interval from 300 ms to something like 100ms

sleek marsh
#

PMSP didn’t have that delay but I can’t stay on OBS27 and they’ve pretty much gone silent that there won’t be a fork and I feel better being on stock OBS again anyways …

#

I have it set down to 50ms which is the minimum — if you mean in general tab

regal breach
#

i see

#

please let me see your macro though

sleek marsh
#

Parallel off causes other macros to break, condition change checkmark didn’t change anything but on a couple of them it caused the filter to bounce back and forth instead of just go

regal breach
#

what does the filter do?

sleek marsh
#

The filter is what’s moving the cropped view left or right like the video

#

And the filter settings yes have no delay and are the same filters I used in PMSP that had no delay issue

#

So it’s something in the way AdvSS is handling it that’s got it slower. Spent a couple hours changing things and trying to make AdvSS faster but beyond the general setting down to the 50ms minimum, I couldn’t find any solution

#

Is it really that 50ms that is doing it?

regal breach
sleek marsh
#

The checkmark one? I had checked-lowered it and tested and was same result

#

If you are referencing the “reduce cpu load by…” one

#

Yeah I’m stumped too

#

Wish the dev could quickly take out the 50ms minimum 😆 and drop a quick build on GitHub…just to see if it changed anything

regal breach
#

so the delay is in the "panning" of the screen?

#

not the switching?

sleek marsh
#

As far as I can tell.

#

Or in the action happening

regal breach
#

they respond most of the time

#

im sure they wouldn't mind making a draft PR with no delay min, then giving you the build

sleek marsh
#

I probably should… I did send them a message here on discord because I’d helped test another build recently

#

WarmUpTill right? I’m not mixing up my devs? Lol

regal breach
#

correct

sleek marsh
#

Good cuz I woulda felt like an idiot if I messaged the wrong one

#

Probably Timezones is why I haven’t heard from them

regal breach
#

well, adv-ss makes you go WUT with its nice features

#

nice mnemonic hahah

sleek marsh
#

I am impressed with all AdvSS does. It’s name really doesn’t make you think it would be much but it’s intensely packed

#

Plus I’m not worried about cpu usage at the moment. Switching from the PMSP fork of 27 to OBS 28 has relieved the machine by a ton 🤣😆

#

Well if the dev doesn’t come up with something hopefully someone can. Wish I was smart enough to temporarily fork it and change the parameters 😆 but I am not a developer. I’m a graphics guy

Hi there, trying to upgrade a plugin to 28.0.1 and struggling with windows build cause it seems that I miss the "lansson" dependency.
The plugin depends on libjansson for basic json handling, but using the new CI workflow (from obs-plugintemplate) I saw the window and mac CI are now relying obs-deps for their deps, but jansson is only in macos deps (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-deps/tree/master/deps.macos) and not in windows deps (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-deps/tree/master/deps.windows)

Do I miss something ? What is the proper way to use libjansson in a project (and to pass the CI ) ? thanks

boreal hearth
dark sapphire
solar dust
#

IIRC, we want to move jansson to obs-deps.

#

The correct move would be to add new deps in obs-deps through plugins' CI/scripts even if jansson is already in obs-studio.

rancid fossil
#

I'd rather have plugins not use anything from the obs-studio code path

#

shipping jansson as part of obs-deps on Windows (like we do on macOS) would solve this, yeah

#

it's fine as a workaround though and another reason why we should fast-track the jansson change

Hi there, does anyone know if there is a fix for Virtual Cam for V28 yet? Or an alternative to getting OBS feed to Discord? Thank you.

Note to whoever is in charge of the OBS 28 Plugin Compatibiliy list at: https://obsproject.com/kb/obs-studio-28-plugin-compatibility
The list currently claims that the StreamFX plugin is compatible with OBS 28, however this is not true. The current stable release of StreamFX intended for production use is not compatible with OBS 28.x. There is an alpha prerelease available that is not recommended for production use by the author at this time. If anything, the compatibility chart should be updated to say "In-Progress" rather than "Available" as this is misleading to users.

harsh topaz
#

I also think "In-Progress" is misleading as if there's no possible option for people right now.

quiet bramble
harsh topaz
#

Whether or not peoples usecase is stable on their setup should be up to them to test.

quiet bramble
#

Yeah, "In progress" should only be the status if the developer of the plugin is actually working on it.

harsh topaz
#

A better word stating that an Alpha version is available might be better.

quiet bramble
#

In the case of StreamFX, it's more a case of the next official release of StreamFX intends to be compatible with OBS 28, rather than it is being developed currently just for that purpose.

#

With a "when it is ready" ETA, which means people who use StreamFX for production should stick with OBS 27.2.4.

mortal harbor
#

i think "Available" is defined by "is there an official release on the plugin dev's github" and that would be a yes for streamfx.

quiet bramble
#

People seeing the above chart are highly likely to conclude that StreamFX works and in light of any additional information, draw the conclusion that it is stable and ready to use, upgrade their setups and then have various things not work.

#

Then get angry that it doesn't work, without realizing it is an alpha build that is a work in progress.

mortal harbor
#

also anyone who clicks on the link to download streamFX will get all the info they need regarding it being an alpha version.

#

also i haven't seen anyone reporting it not working.

quiet bramble
#

It doesn't matter what Available is defined as or what someone thinks it means, if it does not serve the interests of the end user in a way that they expect. Instead it is a disservice to end users by confusing them into thinking something works which is known to NOT work.

harsh topaz
mortal harbor
#

very first thing you see when you click the link that the OBS page directs to. i don't think it can get any more straight forward.

unknown.png
#

also i'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that an alpha release = "known to NOT work"

quiet bramble
#

The question is, does that compatibility page intend to be a service to users with a best effort of the information on the page intending for users to have a good experience, or is it some other dynamic that is less than useful and designed (intentionally or otherwise) to cause an increase of end user problems, frustrations and anger towards developers of multiple projects when people's setups get broken?

mortal harbor
#

the plugin compatibility page is meant to tell users whether or not the plugin author has released a working version for v28

quiet bramble
#

Accurate communication is important, rather than putting all of the burden of getting things right onto the users then blaming them when they don't spend a lot of time reading details. We know from the start that typical end users do not read detailed technical information, so assuming that and blaming the user after the fact is not good faith end user service.

regal breach
#

People's setups were broken updating to v28, without reading v28 release notes, even if v28 was an official release lol. Those who don't read release notes of streamfx probably didn't even check that table

quiet bramble
#

Would be nice to see an OBS project member respond on this with an official position.

harsh topaz
#

Yea, I updated to StreamDeck 28 and it broke all compatibility with 27 kekW

#

Thankfully I peepoSmart'd and had backup.

quiet bramble
#

IMHO, communications like this should be intended to be a service to users, not to be a reference to cite to cast the finger of blame somewhere.

harsh topaz
#

Doesn't v28 popup in-OBS to update?

mortal harbor
#

yes

harsh topaz
#

By that logic, that needs to go.

#

Because people click that before anything else anyway.

#

99% wont have any idea about compatibility breaking LUL

mortal harbor
#

i agree.

harsh topaz
#

Honestly. I got the solution.

#

Build-in exeldros automatic SC backup.

#

Then when users are like "it all broke", OBS auto backed them up kappaPeek

mortal harbor
#

disconnect every users mouse and keyboard, install teamviewer, and let us log in so we can make all decisions for them sounds like what is expected.

harsh topaz
#

I don't think limiting peoples access to the plugin is the solution.

#

But I do think that changing "Yes" to "Alpha" would be an upgrade.

#

At least they're literally clicking on Alpha

#

And if you don't know what an alpha version of something is, chances are you don't use OBS.

quiet bramble
#

The current information on that page is a disservice to users and to Xaymar, by confusing users into thinking StreamFX is compatible with OBS 28, and causing increased frustration for the users, and tech support burden both for StreamFX community and for OBS community.

harsh topaz
#

What has broken in StreamFX on v28 that's causing all these issues?

#

I haven't had time to thoroughly test - but the few things I did seemed to work fine.

mortal harbor
#

i have not seen a single person in this discord reporting issues with the alpha build of streamFX.

#

i also use it.

quiet bramble
#

When the author states things clearly, and says it is not up to him what third parties claim to be true, that makes it clear that he disagrees with the compatibility claims on that page.

#

I have to agree with Xaymar on this.

wary escarp
#

We will discuss what the page should say. Before the comment linked above, I don't think anyone was aware of Xaymar's dissatisfaction with the situation.

harsh topaz
#

I don't know. If I wanted to try and upgrade my setup as a user - and I went to that page and got the message that there was no StreamFX I'd be like "aw, guess I'll have to wait".

#

Not a solid way to get any alpha testers.

#

You shouldn't cut off availability to people, that's horrible. You have to at least assume and treat people like they have some sort of awareness and responsibility in what they do.

#

As long as it's clear that things are alpha, I see no reason why there shouldn't be access through a compatibility page. It's compatible.

we changed it.

I think communications like this should be designed to be of best service to the user, so that the user is likely to have the best experience from it, and further reduce the support load on volunteers, knowing full well that all users are not tech savvy, and do not read detailed reams of information (or understand it fully even if they do). And the more onus that is put on users to be better than they are, the more problems they will have as a result, and the more problems they need help with, which is a bad thing IMHO.

I can support that change as well. Just shouldn't deny people access is all 🙂

slim torrent

Let's be clear, no one's denying anyone access to plugins. Being on the page or not has nothing to do with access. Same with the listed status. User perception for those who look no further, sure, but access is not denied purely by that page.

obs-plugin: Are there any built-in methods such as callbacks that are called whenever an audio source has its volume changed?

mortal harbor
cedar stratus
#

the plugin websocket has events for this purpose?

#

I've been going through github for this but I don't know what to search for

mortal harbor
#

i see InputVolumeChanged at least

cedar stratus
#

I'll try to implement a similar system then as I have no clue how to communicate with the plugin and it's not included in the template

# 
    obs_source_t *aSource = obs_get_source_by_name("Music");
    signal_handler_t *handler = obs_source_get_signal_handler(aSource);

    volChangedSignal.Connect(handler, "volume", OBSSourceVolumeChanged, this);

This should work?

#

Alright thank you I'm progressing slowly but surely.

mortal harbor
#

just for future reference.

cedar stratus
#

Oh yeah... you're right. I just assumed "plugins-and-tools" would be related to plugin development. That's my bad.

Oh great then! Thanks for the advice, good to know.

I'm currently trying to link the Streamdeck & OBS. Allowing for further customisation of the Streamdeck & OBS. I had to create two plugins one for OBS & another one for the Streamdeck.
I exchange data via sockets (TCP).
My first "widget" for the Streamdeck is to display information related to audio sources such as the audio volume in % or even in dB by clicking on the widget it cycles and converts between the two.

mortal harbor
#

Love the idea! I know a lot of streamdeck control of OBS can just be done with websocket but displaying that sort of info on the streamdeck itself is very cool.

radiant granite
#

Hey everybody! Tried looking through the server's history, couldn't find any other info; I'm having issues with source record.

Since OBS's recent update, the source record (I have it on my camera & my Xbox gameplay sources) the camera source has not been affected & continues to work well. The gameplay source record will record for 10 seconds & then without warning simply stops...Any helps would be greatly appreciated...I lost 2 whole vods to this already...

Well after spending over 4 days with elgato an them looking into it the source of the problem is obs 28 yet again it forced threw an update so yet again my streamdeck no longer works. So yet again I have to uninstall everything an roll back to 27.2.4 in order to get it to work. This is really annoying I went threw all the fixes suggested by obs not one of them worked. I know its not the streamdeck as it still works it just wont work with obs since the plugin says its missing or wont update which that is false sense I manually updated the streamdeck to make sure it was up to date. I really wish obs would fix this issue because me as a streamer an being disabled i depend on that streamdeck to do alot of what I need to do.

I use it too, multiple PCs as sources. There are workarounds if you are willing to use the NDI Tools suite and apps, but it's easier to roll back for now until the plugin update arrives. Shouldn't be too long; I hear it's in alpha testing right now.

Yes, but it's v5 of the API

celest wraith

I've had issues with Websockets in the past

gaunt zealot

There's a backwards compat library if you have something that needs it

celest wraith

I couldn't figure out why my stream was super laggy, I wasn't using websockets anyway, but I uninstalled it and it fixed it

is it removable?

gaunt zealot

no

You probably enabled debugging with websocket

The update made OBS incompatible with my SRbeep plugin, which I use to get verification of when my recordings start and stop when I'm recording gameplay, since there are no overlays.

Outside of updating the plugin to work with QT6 you'd have to downgrade to 27.

Is there a way to just capture my camera (versus the whole scene) with the new virtual camera within OBS Studio 28? - I tried cropping the scene but it's causing some massive flickering (using NVIDIA background filter).

Still no cam option.

Hello there. I just downloaded the latest version of obs as an update on my pc. But my plug in for multiple stream stopped working...

Hi,

Not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask. But is there anyone experience with writing OBS plugins? Looking for a plugin that will manage X amount of audio sources, muting all selected except for the one that is loudest in an attempt to create a dynamic camera setup with following audio.

Please dm me 😄

gaunt zealot
# hollow mulch Hi, Not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask. But is there anyone ex...

For the visual aspect, there's a number of ways for things like the vtuber stuff that highlights somebody.

On the audio side, there's nothing 1st or 3rd party that I'm aware of and OBS's audio stack isn't that sophisticated. You could, in theory, do automation in a DAW like Reaper, but more serious operations would be using a digital DSP mixer with support for something like this and I don't know of any with this level of functionality for less than a 4-digit price tag.

regal breach
#

so you could add macros for each audio source

#

i would combine all audio sources in one scene

#

then use obs source toggler by exeldro, so toggling one audio source will hide all the rest

hollow mulch
#

I can't switch scenes

regal breach
hollow mulch
#

then I don't follow kcnlEyes

regal breach
#

advanced scene switcher lets you automate obs

#

oh i misunderstood the question a little

#

you said the loudest

hollow mulch
#

Yeah, but as far as I've been able to tell, it doesn't allow you to mute all except the loudest one

regal breach
#

but adv-ss can check the audio levels of an audio source

#

so if you change your problem to "hits this threshold"

hollow mulch
#

it's not a threshold

regal breach
#

then advanced scene switcher will help you

hollow mulch
#

I won't know up front

regal breach
hollow mulch
#

I'll have ±15 camera's

regal breach
#

then i guess energizer's reply is the best answer for you

hollow mulch
#

all w/ audio running

#

and I only want to broadcast the loudest one, so the audio follows the camera to which it's closest

#

I also can't do physical mixers (or at least wouldn't know how) as the camera sources go straight into OBS through wifi

#

(think DroidCam)

hollow mulch
#

Actually, #scripting looks like a better place to ask, excuse me 😄

gaunt zealot
# hollow mulch it's not a threshold

Depending on just how dynamic and uncontrolled the audio is, you may even be looking at upward compression, which doesn't even exist in OBS yet and there's few VSTs for it.

If you got the budget for 15+ cameras, just get a digital mixer that can do this. Audio monitoring in OBS is broken right now anyways and OBS's single-threaded audio stack isn't really designed for the number of audio tracks it sounds like you're looking for.

hollow mulch
tawny obsidian
#

Yes @fossil wyvern
An error message shows when I start it. Error: failed to cenect to server.
Although they do work as one RTPM stream

gaunt zealot
#

You would also want to be using some combination of ducking and compression as full-on muting with a gate will cause very annoying pumping as the gate goes in/out.

untold jay
#

"mute all but the loudest" sounds like it would require scripting, sidechain ducking can't do this

gaunt zealot
#

Issue being that the on/off latching of a gate is very obvious and annoying, even if the user doesn't directly notice it (it will just sound "off"). You also have the missing rise time of the waveform that the automation needed, which also sounds unnatural (and why dynamics processors have the adjustments they do).

hollow mulch
gaunt zealot
hollow mulch
#

Why would I need headsets?

#

I’m trying to set up a big brother house

#

Need the audio to follow

gaunt zealot
#

The built-in phone mic just isn't going to work for that with anything resembling usable audio. It's going to sound like a cheap, low-end security camera at best. You really should be using a stubby small-diaphragm condenser mic.

hollow mulch
#

Those are assumptions

#

And those assumptions are false

gaunt zealot
#

That's due to the extensive audio processing that Android does. You're very much not hearing raw audio

hollow mulch
#

What’s your point?

spiral ruin
#

At this point, there isn't a plugin to do what you want to do with the audio. And many of the people here are offering advice as to what makes this difficult if not impossible to do with the limitations you are expressing re: Droidcam.

hollow mulch
#

I understand there’s no plug-in doing what I want. Hence my question was, who can write one…

gaunt zealot
#

Everything from latency, to quality, to phone thermals, to camera angles, to audio come to find here. That and DroidCam is, basically, H.264 over the network, so you have a strong chance of running into issues decoding and processing that many compressed video feeds in OBS

spiral ruin
gaunt zealot
hollow mulch
#

Really the only thing I’m asking is a plug-in to continuously monitor audio levels from a selection of audio sources and mute all the audio sources except the loudest one

#

I don’t see how that’s close to impossible

spiral ruin
spiral ruin
gaunt zealot
#

Plus if you're wiring up a whole house you would have problems like multiple people in the house generating audio or maybe even things like barking dogs, etc causing problems

hollow mulch
#

Please let that be my concern

spiral ruin
#

Just curious, do you have all 15 cameras running right now? What's the load on your network? How does the video look so far?

hollow mulch
#

Not yet, but that’s merely a networking/PC specs issue, unless OBS won’t support it, but that’s something I can easily find a bypass for

#

6 cams are no problem

gaunt zealot
#

It comes down to there's nothing really out of the box for OBS on this. In theory you could script it with LUA or websockets, but it would be something completely custom. Simple thresholds might not be enough without a lot of preprocessing anyways.

Where as, on the other hand, higher-end DAWs like Reaper have automation built-in just for stuff like this and it's what they're designed for. Same for modern digital mixers intended to run live front of house audio.

Right tools and all that...

So really, I only need to have a way of managing audio, which is what I’m looking to do, before I further start testing or even get the extra cameras

PC will be the issue, handling all the feeds simultaneously. You do you, but you may want to test it first before investing more time and money in paying someone to write a plugin/scripts for you, and working with your setup in OBS.

@gaunt zealot I understand there is nothing that does what I want

Am I being unclear? What can I say further to be more clear?

#

Let me try and rephrase

#

I think you have been clear, you want something that works with OBS. You want to find someone to write it for you.

I am looking for someone to write an OBS plug-in that allows me to make a selection of audio sources to continuously monitor and mute all audio sources except for the one that is loudest.

You mean the error that says x264 doesn't support 10-bit color? It's because x264 does not support 10-bit ( HDR ) color.

Hello, is there dev for source record plugin? I just need help. I do not know which encoder should I use, because there are three of them. NVENC, NEVNC 264, NVENC HEVC ?

vale vine
#

Oh, thats actually a good question given the encoder name change in obs 28 update

#

Because the formerly named nvenc(new) was not a good option to use so I wonder which of those first 2 is the one to not use with source record

hollow echo
#

Ye, IDK either

fossil wyvern
#

I think 264 is the old new but better ask one of the nerds tbh

wary escarp
#

„New“ was renamed to „NVIDIA NVENC H.264“ and the very old one to „NVIDIA NVENC H.264 (FFmpeg)“

hollow echo
#

In that plugin is like this:

#

Source record looks like it creates a special list. The „NVENC“ one is FFmpeg (the old one)

hollow echo
#

So sohuld I use H264 or HEVC?

#

On the plugin resource it says that the new NVENC does not work

and the HEVC?

you'll have to download the new version from the forum (or whereever you got it from)

You can use a VST2 wrapper host plugin that itself can host your VT3 plugins. Bluecat Patchwork, Plogue Bidule or Krushview Element should all work in Filters section. Here's Krushview Element hosting YouLean Loudness Meter & Eventide SplitEQ both in VST3 format. it's an option anyway if you want to work within inside OBS like VST2 plugins.

Hi! Got a programming question: I saw that internal obs plugins are compiled with /MT which if I remember will mean static crt. Does this mean I cannot free memory from within obs/libobs that is allocated in a plugin? (aka no returning dstr across boundaries?)

Hello, I recently updated obs to the most recent one, and I normally use it for Mixed reality with my occulus quest 2, with the previous version when I was on the quest scene the green screen would be black and in the properties window it would appear something like the stuff I draw, there is no message about not recognizing the plugins, and I was thinking maybe in downgrading obs, but I don't know what to do

You’re probably installing the versions of those plugins for v28

You should update OBS.

HO didn't think about that! As i saw some posts about the v28 causing some issues with plugins, but didnt consider that it is possibly resolved at this time ...

i try to update it right now !

Sounds like not being on v28 is the only thing causing issues for you 😄

The one I linked is a remake of the original 32bit one

Hopefully it fixes your issues.

i see

ill check and see if it fixes it

As a warning: This plugin was last updated in 2020, so there is a possibility that it will not work with v28, but still should with v27 if that is the one you're using.

im on v28 rn it does show up in the sources tab ill give it a go if it doesnt work is there a way to go back to v27

It doesnt come with the original obs-shaderfilter shaders, and is not compatible with them either.

# vapid knot so what do i do?

A few options :

Read up on how to make shaders for it, or how to convert the old ones, or ask on their GitHub repo or their page on the OBS Resources site for suggestions.

i only want to use them because i read that its the easier way to make my webcam frame more rounder and square which is what i want.

It was built 3 days ago, so you just drop the 64-bit files in that zip into obs-plugins directory and is working fine. He hasn't actually released it on his github page, it's just work in progress, but it works fine, I've done a few tests with it and all good.

Anyone using Virtual Audio Cable to pass the filter output from OBS to Discord?
It works well for me but after a while a huge delay is developing between the input and output cable, which makes talking to friends on discord very difficult.
The delay will go up to like 1 second after an hour of using the VAC

#

I tried using VST-Host, but that also develops this crazy delay...

#

the dock is a separate layout which is most likely missing in the old layout json, adding an empty object should probably already work, so { "scenecollection_name": [ { the other layout }, {} ], "scenecollection2": [{ other layout }, {}] } should work. Each scene collection has an array of layouts. Currently the second object in that array is for the dock and the first one is for the windowed version.

#

Hiding/showing the dock or modifying the layouts should also force the plugin to save the correct layout json

I can't do anything inside the window.

It has no right click properties or anything.

It's just a window with the title Durchblick

Actually just noticed as well that the X disappeared.. all I did was rename json and rename it back Hmmge
