NVIDIA version of the background blur/remover thing
I need a 2000+ GPU tho which I dont have so reinstall time
uninstalling streamFX and running the pre release installer should be enough to resolve. note that the streamFX plugin doesn't install to the typical OBS plugins folder so do not change the default path the installer uses.
oh, that, yes, you can choose to use that
still, streamfx is worth installing for all the cool new features it adds
source mirrors, dynamic masks and color grading alone are already good, but then you get into customizing video encoder options and possibly into running pixel shaders, it's mostly worth the effort invested

no attempt to load streamfx here
what path is the streamFX installer set to?
restarting OBS would load it if installed correctly.
and "default" doesn't quite answer. please let me know the actual path from the installer.
C:\Program Files\obs-studio
that isn't what the streamFX installer should default to
really? I haven't touchedf anything
bleh, just choose "portable" and manually point it to your obs-studio install
no, point it to the path that i just sent in that screenshot.
yeah, probably an old install messing with it. resolved either way.
W stream
already resolved using the correct path that i linked.
I answered my own question
So does anyone know the answers to this maybe? I need to have it set up really soon
This is your first message in the server and I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
i was asking if , since my obs is on D: drive instead of C: should i change the default installlation location. I tried installing it to D:, it didnt work, so i uninstalled StreamFX and reinstalled it to the default location and lo and behold it worked
sorry to bug you
@hexed junco for rtmp url, you need to find out the url of the streaming service you intend to stream to, then append your stream key (if any), the list can be found here https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/plugins/rtmp-services/data/services.json
for example, if i want to stream to twitch's london ingest, i'd use rtmp://live-lhr.twitch.tv/app/live_ebguiowey8gu9ioh45jfl3j54tbnj4wkm assuming my stream key is live_ebguiowey8gu9ioh45jfl3j54tbnj4wkm (this isn't actually my stream key, i typed a random string of letters, you should get yours from your streaming services)
And for YouTube would it just be the Livestream URL in the Streaming tab then?
@hexed juncoif you open https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/plugins/rtmp-services/data/services.json and search for youtube, you'll see that there are multiple ingest points
And what do I set as the destination in the stream tab in OBS then?
i have a suspicion that mactype broke on me ._.
obs-multi-rtmp doesn't care too much about what you use in the streaming output, but you will have to start and stop streaming at least once to fetch encoding settings, so maybe set it to a dummy destination, like a twitch bandwidth test
Ok, thanks a lot
With Source Record plugin, is it possible to start/stop the replay buffer without saving a clip? because I dont see how I can get it to work like a normal replay buffer and im always gonna have an extra clip laying around with nothing worthwhile
@flint ore you can activate or deactivate the source record filter
but by doing that, you'll still save a replay
which means everytime I have to go in and delete a clip
eeh? i didn't know that
could it be that you bound the same hotkey to both save a replay and to disable the filter?
im not even using it with hotkeys, just testing by disabling and enabling the filter. seems kinda silly
I dont really understand how its supposed to work 😅 I have replay buffer checked for 180s, I enable the filter. and I just disabled it now and I have a 4 hour recording of my camera 😂😂😂
like what
@flint oreyou set record mode to "always", so enabling the filter starts recording, and disabling stops it
so does that mean its double recording if I check the filter?
if you don't want that, set recording mode to "never"
uuh, not sure..
checking now 🙂
you'll have to use hotkeys to save replay buffer from source record, there's no gui button
Cooooooool
figured it out
record mode never + replay buffer checked = replay buffer on
when you enable the filter it starts the replay buffer
disable filter means replay buffer off, now I dont have extra clips all over the place
hello i am looking for some advice please where can i update among us and golf and gta 5 and marbles for stream deck please
More approriate for the Elgato discord server, however... you update Stream Deck plugins inside the Stream Deck software's plugin store, the same way you installed them in the first place. I'm not certain but I think it might automatically update installed plugins on its own even (if a new version is available). It wont update to beta versions however.
ok thanks
I am having trouble getting TUNA settings to appear under the tool menu. This is a plugin that I've installed. I am running OBS 27.2.4 32 Bit on a Windows computer. Is anyone able to assist?
What version of the Tuna plugin do you have installed? I'm looking over the docs and it looks like there's a distinct cutoff between versions that support OBS 27 and prior and 28.
@unkempt kestrel I think I found the issue. When I checked the minimum requirements for TUNA it says Minimum OBS Studio 28. I have 27.2.4 on Windows 7 and I don't think OBS 28 will work on Windows 7. I tried installing 28 and then when trying to launch it, I get an error.
That would do it for sure. OBS 28 definitely does not support Windows 7. You're stuck using OBS 27 unless you upgrade to Windows 10/11.
and I think they are only making x64 bit versions of OBS 28 and this Windows 7 system is 32 bit. I don't see and x86 version available
@unkempt kestrel You wouldn't happen to know of any other plugins that would allow me to display the video filename on the video. I am using the VLC Media Player feature inside of OBS Studio to play videos to my viewers and want them to be able to see the name of what's playing.
That I do not know unfortunately. :/
No problem, thank you for your help @unkempt kestrel !
anyone got a link for obs 27.2.4 so that i can download the old version so that my ndi source works
!downgrade
Need an older version of OBS? Go to https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases for OBS Studio versions back to 0.2.4

Why are you still on Windows 7 when the upgrade to 10 (and 11) is still free to this day, 10+ is faster than 7 ever was on old hardware, and 10+ is still getting security patches?
https://www.howtogeek.com/509087/how-to-upgrade-from-windows-7-to-windows-10-for-free/
@gaunt zealot Thank you! I didn't know it was free. All of my other computers except for the one I am running OBS is on has Windows 7. I'm going to check that link to upgrade to windows 7, I didn't realize it was still free!
If you're on the 32-bit version of Windows 7 instead of the 64-bit version, I would strongly recommend doing a fresh install of 64-bit Windows 10 (using your Windows Vista/7/8.x key). You don't even need to enter a key if your hardware has activated a Windows install before or it's an OEM system that came with Windows (Windows key in BIOS).
@gaunt zealot I'm getting an error when I try to launch the windows 10 installation file on windows 7. It says" We're not sure what happened, but we're unable to run this tool on your PC. If you continue experiencing problems, reference the error code when contacting customer support. Error Code: 0x80072F8F - 0x200000." This computer has some issues. It won't load a lot of web sites, and gives me the error "Your Connection is not Private" with no option to continue to the site. I tried for countless hours to fix that but haven't gotten it resolved. Maybe that computer is just at it's end of life? LOL
It does still however do a good job of streaming with OBS
Do a fresh install of Windows 10 from scratch. If you have the key from 7, type that in. If not, click skip when it asks for a key and Windows will activate when it runs Windows Update.
Here's the installer download:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Sounds like your existing Windows install is broken to the point it's breaking the in-place upgrade installer.
Outdated hardware has nothing to do with that (Windows 10 will technically run on a Pentium 4 with 2 GB RAM...)
oh I see, I am going to try that now
@gaunt zealot I'm still getting that same error when I click on the link above, download the windows 10 installation media and try to run the file
Download it on another PC and run the tool to make a boot USB key or CD. Your existing Windows install is just that broken...
If you need more in-depth technical help for your computer issues outside of OBS, you can join the /r/TechSupport Discord server
Thank you so much @gaunt zealot ! That is what I'm going to do!
When Microsoft released Windows 10 they advertised the free upgrade as being for a limited time, then they removed the automatic nag for it after that but they left it available on their servers and continued to accept the older license keys as valid ever since. By not advertising it as free over time it is their way of encouraging people to upgrade rather than staying on old unsupported insecure versions of Windows, while thinking they're pulling the wool over Microsoft's eyes, while simultaneously continuing to be able to sell new license keys to those not in the know or who think it doesn't work.
I just recently did a fresh Windows 10 install on a new PC build using my Windows 7 license.
So I need some help with the multiple RTMP outputs plugin. I added both YouTube and Twitch as destinations, but on Twitch, it says "live" below my pfp, but on the stream window itself it's just the thumbnail and it says the stream is offline in the corner. Any ideas on how to fix that?
Stream twitch the regular way, add YouTube to the rtmp plugin. Press Start stream the normal way, then start rtmp.
yup that solved it, thanks
I'm having a websocket issue. "The following OBS plugins failed to load: Stream FX. Please update or remove these plugins"
Now it said the same thing for my LoL websocket but that one had been working fine (even though it was saying failed to load)
How ever Stream FX websocket is infact not working.
!plugins streamfx doesn't have a release for obs v28 yet, so you can either go back to v27.2.4, or use streamfx's alpha release in the link below

!downloads grab the installer from the site and run it
OBS Studio can be downloaded right from the OBS Project website: https://obsproject.com/download
Installer for the plugin or obs?
obs, the plugin is included in OBS
Can I do that without getting rid of my overlays and set ups
yeah, just grab the installer and run it
Just it just install over it?
yes
fuckin nifty, I didn't know that
still isn't working for what I want but it did fix the socket problem lol
what's your issue
I'm trying to connect to the OBS tools for bar raiders and nothing I do is working
in the settings of the websockets did you click "enable server"?
I FUCKIN LOVE YOU
👍
god i've been trying to figure it out for 3 damn days and between that and getting the beta version of the plugin from the raiders discord I fixed it thank you so much
Now I gotta reset up all my controls
Hi Please, can anyone help? I cannot see OWN3D in OBS tools
is your own3d plugin up to date?
Yes!
For Windows yes
Yes!
How did you install it?
Had OBS installed in Program file and followed with OWN3D in the same folder.
Just in case make sure it's QT6 version if using OBS28 you've installed
Did you use the plugin installer (.exe) or manually copy the contents from the zip folder

OK ! uninstalling both now and retried.
Penwywern & Tuiko... Thanks, finnally got it done.
So I'm using the multiple RTMP output plugin and all of a sudden, I can't see the little window for it in OBS anymore. OBS and the plugin are both up-to-date and even tried reinstalling the plugin. Anyone know how to fix that?
@hexed juncodoes it show up in the Docks menu?
You got the v28-compatible update for the plugin from https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases/tag/0.2.8.1-OBS28 ?
Ah there it is, forgot that tab exists lol
have a question a/b the new stream deck update. So, I've updated the plugin and stream deck software using Elgato's instructions as of 9/29. Now, the buttons work, but there isn't a "target" section to designate Preview vs. Program playback. So, when you press the button, the target is automatically preview rather than program. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
first i've heard of it but i'd recommend reaching out to elgato directly.
Hey, is there a plugin to be able to track one object (small webcam frame) on OBS to a QR or other object the algorhithm follows on the main camera?
Like i want my facecam to follow my 3d printer as it's printing
I was wondering if there was a way to get the transition table plugin to show up in my tools section since the latest version of OBS? I have installed the newest one, but it's not showing up. All my other plugins are working as intended so far.
I can live without it for now, but hoping to find a way to use it 🙂

transition table isn't even attempting to load which means it is not installed to the correct location. your OBS install shouldn't be in x86 to begin with and i'd assume it's probably installing to the correct path in your program files.
Ah, okay. I can migrate obs over and try again in a bit
It worked! @mortal harbor thank you again!
hello everyone, I wanted to know if obs is able to do one thing or if you know of any other way
I am a gaming coach and I like to have tasks or "things to focus on while playing" to show my students how to progress
and would love for the viewers to have a counter that they can access with a command to add numbers to the completed task
i'll make a stupid example "focus on anti airing" and everytime I hit an anti air they can type a command and the counter will go up
Ideally with multiple commands for multiple tasks
@undone elbow is this relevant? https://docs.nightbot.tv/variables/count
if you want to display the counter on the broadcast with realtime updates, that'll be more difficult, i don't have a complete solution
thank you, yeah i have been following this video, if anyone is wanting to try this
but yeah, the second part, the live updates, seems complicated
!plugins StreamFx has an early access version out. If you rely heavily on it, you might consider downgrading. If not, remove it for now until a proper release is ready 🙂

@mighty moon With regards to filling in arbitrary text with an image or video using masking, you can apply the StreamFX Dynamic Mask filter on an image or video source, and configure the Dynamic Mask "Input Source" to point to the text to use for a mask. Then scroll down the the Alpha section and set Base Value to 0, and Alpha Input Value to 1.0. The video should be masked to the text. Example:
thats exactly what i was searching for, although text format feels a bit weird, thank you
hello is virtual camera available for obs v28
the built-in one, yes
i cannot seem to get it working on omegle/ometv
Is there some kind of video de-noising plugin for OBS?
For Nvidia Tensor core capable GPUs, yes: https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-StreamFX/wiki/Filter-Denoising
still the same
watched trought few vids
nothing helped
Seems to me like you didn't allow omegle access to your camera
That's not currently supported by the built in virtual camera
You'll need plugins for extra cameras
what is it called
Take a screenshot of the whole browser
is it virtual camera
like a plugin
or is there a way to downgrade a version of obs somehow
You should be able to find something if you search obs virtual camera plugin
i mean i know for that, i used it on previous versions, but it says its not supported for v28
Someone updated it for v28
Take a screenshot of your device manager, showing your cameras
only my main camera here
Go to your browser settings and check your camera permissions. Don't ask me where to find that
its all allowed bro do u think i didnt check it before
if i ask here then yes
If you did everything, then there's nothing for me to say
What plugin would I use if I want to:
use mic db threshold to toggle source visbility?
I'll give that a look, thanks.
Advanced Scene Switcher might be able to do that, but I'm not certain. It is an advanced AI that can take over the world so anything is possible. 🙂
I had it working before v28 happened, but then a few of my plugins became incompatible and I don't know which one it is. Maybe streamfx
thanks, ndi and StreamFX still not final .... But waiting patiently.
StreamFX is quite stable at this point and if you where only using StreamFX for the AMF encoder, there's a better version in OBS v28 anyways. If you're trying to get ISO recordings and/or multi-stream, you should be using Spout and/or Multi-RTMP and/or Source Record anyways instead of NDI...
I use NDI to pull remote internet sources in. Multi-RTMP does me no good.
Just checking as you'd be surprised how many people use NDI and/or virtual webcam to setup multiple OBS instances on the same PC for multi-stream and/or multi-record (there's plugins for this...)
Ok in that case I agree with you. I pull from sources that are NDI enabled and connected via NDI bridge. Eventually it will be ready.
Please elaborate?
There's not much more to say really... If you want ISO recordings use Source Record and if you want to multi-stream, use Multi-RTMP. That basically it.
As long as you aren't trying to composite multiple aspect ratios at once, e.g. both Twitch+TikTok live concurrently, you're good to go.
Any easy way to spin a source permanently?
Grab the rotation handle at the top
I wanne keep it spinning, not just rotate the source
That only applies to transitions, which is nice, but I am looking for something that just keeps rotating/ spinning my source
it's lot more than plain transition
Animated GIF? Video?
Doesn't it only do fancy stuff while transitioning from one scene to the next?
Also you can use StreamFX plugin for spinning effect
That's what I thought, but I cant seem to find it
Nah, far from it. It can do lot more and even without scene changes.
Didn't mean the url, but how I apply the spinning... looked for filters and shades, but couldn't find one
you guys i have al ittle mergency. obs kept crashing on exiting so i delted some plugins and now NONE of my audio sources are there is there anyway to fix this???
they're there in the sources section but no longer have the audio icon next to them
and the audio mixer no longer shows them
are you on OBS v28?
yeah yeah
help>check file integrity
nothing happens when i click it .. oh n oo
also check for updates doesnt work either i wanted to see if that would do anything
run the OBS installer again.
okok thank you!
will this erase everything i have setup
Hello everyone, I need help. I had OBS set up to control the volume of my apps (browser, spotify, game, mic) separately. Ex: I lowered the volume of the game and it stopped being heard in the stream and in my headphones at the same time.
Now I lower the volume of the game and it stops being heard in the stream but I still hear it in the headphones... any help?
No
Those are probably sources from the audio capture plugin
That works. You may have had them set up with the plugin instead of the built in source so when you deleted your plugins it removed the source.
You're making incorrect assumptions about the move-transition plugin without reading its documentation. It does exactly what you were asking for. 🙂
It's from OBS Shaderfilter, and it does not do arbitrary rotation around a fixed point like the OBS Transform rotate function does. It is possible to write a shader to do rotation, bot there isn't much point in doing so since OBS has this functionality built in already.
The only thing missing is the animation of the property, which is what move-transition can do.
Move Transition is in the same category as Advanced Scene Switcher where the name vastly undersells the functionality 😆
Not just for moving things and definitely not just for transitions.
motion-graphics-filter or motion-animation might be a better name for it nowadays
And Advanced Scene Switcher could become ... OSAP ... OBS Swiss Army Plugin
Anyone around experienced with Move Transition?
these types of posts rarely get answers. it's better to state your actual question you'd ask if someone said "i am!"
Have in the past, and well my question just ended up in oblivion in this channel so thought I'd give it a shot trying to find someone to chat with more directly.
well i see your last messages in the server were talking directly with the person who made the plugin 😄
Indeed, and my last question fell into oblivion, and don't really feel like harassing the dev.
well, i've used the move transition plugin a bit but based on what you've said so far i have no idea if i can help you.
I appreciate you giving the question a read. I have a work around that doesn't make use of nested scenes, just is very messy.
Yeah, in general people don't respond to something unless they know enough about what the person is needing help with to gauge whether they might be able to help. Otherwise it is generally a bit of a game of dragging information out of them piece by piece, or responding and then getting the actual info and saying "sorry, can't help". It's just easier to wait until someone says something that you do think you might be able to help with.
But on the other side of things, stating a problem and getting no responses, I can also understand that that can be frustrating. It's useful to know that despite there being a huge number of people who have joined the server (around 200,000), only about 40,000 are logged in at any time, and most people don't stay glued to Discord all day, and on the server here most people here are actually looking for help rather than giving it, so the actual number of people who might be able to help someone or discuss a particular issue with them is actually quite small, and they might be eating dinner, working, sleeping, swimming, planting trees or something else, even though their computer/phone is logged into Discord.
When failing to get a response in real time chat like Discord for something, it's a good indication nobody knows, or someone who might know isn't around, to try again another time or to use an asynchronous communication mechanism like the forums, tends to work a bit better IMHO.
Just as an example, I wasn't present (I'm in and out of playing Cyberpunk right now) when you asked your question. Technically I am very experienced with move-transition (as are many people here), however without knowing what the query is for myself and many others would be less likely to respond. On the other side, if someone asked a question about move-transition with a lot of details about what they're doing, whenever I happen to look at the channel if I see it, and if I do know how to do the thing being asked or think I might be able to help, I will very often respond, but it might be hours later. I know many others are the same way.
Also, someone can be experienced with something and not know the answer to a specific question.
Anyhow, hope that helps, and feel free to mention what you're trying to do with move-transition and myself or someone else might be able to help or offer some advice.

Neat, there's a plugin we can recommend for those using slideshows that hit OBS memory limit
Is there a Jack Output audio filter plugin available somewhere?
I figured this could make monitoring a lot easier since you can just listen to it on an external mixer.
just monitor to the external mixer?
But don't all monitor channels get mixed together then?
oh, yee
And I find enabling monitoring the in GUI really cumbersome
I don't know what that is, but there's an Audio Monitor filter plugin. You might wanna check it out
I don't believe that works on Linux
sup people, Question is there a plugin or tool or maybe just i a way in OBS to activate/turn on my cam simply when i talk so when the mic pics up my voice the cam come on and when i stop talking it will turn off my cam, ?
An advanced scene switcher plugin, with options for timed switching, cursor detecting, and further automation options, is available for OBS Studio on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download links and installation instructions can be found here: http://obsproject.com/forum/resources/395/
Note: I suggest that you don't actually turn off the camera, but rather just hide it from the scene using the above plugin
Cameras usually take a while to start up
yeah thats what i mean sorry
yeah this is way out of my league, ima forget that idea
😛
It's simple with advanced scene switcher. If you need help using it, some of us will be willing to help
simple. thats the wrong word lol 😛
no, it's simple as fuck
We have more complicated setups with Advanced scene switcher, your use case is much simpler
this is literally all there is to it
advanced everything-switcher
OBS Automator
advanced could-literally-stream-in-your-stead
right ok thanks
we upgraded advanced scene switcher for obs 28 where are the config files stored for the macros
Is there an updated version of SRBeep?
It seems to have stopped working after v28 update
if you first upgraded obs, then opened, obs, THEN updated advanced scene switcher, your macros are gone. your best bet is to load your scene collection backup

having issues with getting my deck board to work
think it might be a websocket issue
do you know if its been updated for websocket v5?
you'll have to figure that out from their support then.
obs support?
whoever makes deckboard. i'm not sure what that is.
well in order to help you, i need to know if deckboard supports websocket v5.
let me check
i already looked at their site before i asked you and didn't see anything.
okay hold on i gotcha
Download Web Socket from https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-websocket-remote-control-obs-studio-using-websockets.466/
thats what they said
okay
you also may want to tell them that their advice is outdated

let's go step by step here then. let me know after you've done each part and ask questions if you don't understand.
go to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64-bit

delete obs-websocket and obs-websocket-compat
its gone
go to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\
yeap
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/releases/download/5.0.1/obs-websocket-4.9.1-compat-Windows.zip download and open this, you should see two folders obs-studio and data
done
go drag those two folders into C:\Program Files\obs-studio\ that you have open

you need to close OBS, go back to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64-bit and delete that file
that message means exactly what it says, port 4444 is in use
doesn't mean the plugin is malfunctioning or failing to load
not super familiar with the error so kind of just going off it says on this one
thanks boith of you lol
and they do have both websocket and the compat installed
well 4444 would be websocket 4.9, websocket 5 uses 4455 by default
should i get rid of all 3
depends, why do you have websocket installed? what tools do you need it for?
i'm confused be the may currently be in use by the main obs-websocket plugin part of the error i guess
decdkboard its s vr stream deck
they're using something called DeckBoard which we think is still using websocket 4.9
means the user may have configured obs-websocket.dll (modern versions of which are websocket 5) which may still be configured for 4444 when it should be 4455
@mortal harbor want me to juyst delete that one or all 3?
where as the compat plugin, which provides 4.9, is also trying to use 4444 but can't
based on this screenshot, i'd go ahead and just delete obs-websocket.dll #plugins-and-tools message
the settings dialogue isn't even loading
i'm just going off the screenshot in the message i linked
the plugin loaded
the user is just missing locale files
stored in the data/obs-plugins directory
i am very confused guys
21:23:07.046: Failed to load 'en-US' text for module: 'obs-websocket.dll'
do it dont do it lol
as I said, don't delete anything
okay
you just need to manually reinstall obs-websocket 5's language files
i think the greater point that i was making was they don't seem to need websocket 5.0 at all for this setup but if you'd rather them install the language files that works too
should i just update tro thae lastes and the old files should just go away inculding old plugins right?
seeing as deckboard was updated 14 hours ago to support websocket 5, deleting websocket 5 seems counter-intuitive https://twitter.com/DeckboardApp/status/1576568299067826177
well this is exactly why i said "think" #plugins-and-tools message
good info to know
always better to confirm 😛
@dark sapphire should we talk take this offline? i don't want to fill that chat with all my messages dont want to be a bother
did you install obs-websocket 5 using the zip or the installer?
@teal escarp so you remember when we dragged those two folders you downloaded into your obs-studio folder? you can do the same thing with this to fix the settings
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/releases/download/5.0.1/obs-websocket-5.0.1-Windows.zip
^ this
okayu what about the old dll files?
keep the dlls as they are
you can leave everything as is, just drag those folders in.
k
i definitely thought their support linking him to the old websocket forum page and telling him to downgrade to 27.2.4 were good indications that it was on 4.9.1 haha
depends on if the user has upgraded deckboard 😛
and what deckboard's user flow is for migrating their users from connecting via 4.9 to 5.0
could be that they've pushed the release, but not out to users via updater
done
are you able to access the websocket tools menu now?
got that error message agiang
that's expected, as the port is in use
i've actually never had both installed so i'm not sure what the difference in naming is to differentiate or if it's obvious
naming might not be obvious, but once you open them they should be very different
@teal escarp you need to disable websocket 5 in it's tools menu
feel free to send a screenshot of each if you're unsure which is which
5 has the bigger screen with a list of clients
interesting for them to tell you to downgrade when all of this would just work on v28
sorry for the spelling errors
got it
tried 2.8
@dark sapphire @mortal harbor whats next
Guys??
can you open them , or still errors ?
Not really, I'm just following along. If you could get them to open you could turn off the one that says compat
hot do i disbale a tool?
not sure, you probably want to wait and see if they respond
okay
I don't wanna make it worse
yeah
can still stream just want to have my steeamdeck working its been broken since last tuesday
#brb dadlife
What happened last Tuesday? Did you upgrade OBS from an older version up to 28.0.x? If so, you need to update your Stream Deck software to the latest version released a day or so ago also. You'll also need to check any OBS plugins you're using for an OBS 28 compatible update, or remove them (or alternatively downgrade OBS to 27.2.4 and wait for plugins you need to get updated for 28).
deckboard just stopped woring I uninsatlled and reinstalled with the new version
and it would just not work
i am using 27.4.4 now
i donwgraded on thursday
and still cent get it to work
@teal escarp question for you - do you use this plugin: obs-multi-rtmp.dll or is it just installed but not actually used?
@jovial dawn hi
I deleted everything and installed the last version of obs but still not working

i want to shrea my screen with ya lol so i can show ya
but its not cennecting and clicking the icon dose nothing
i've installed deckboard and connected it to OBS v28 without issue
i cant get mine too
send a screenshot that shows the same things mine did
that is not the same deckboars creen
it still isn't the same screen
he needs to see settings > obs
let me try a fresh install of deck board
change the IP to 127.0.0.1
on obs or deck board?
deckboard. there's no spot to enter an IP in OBS.
OMG IT ORKS I COULD KISS YOU
/popcorn
now if only i could get it to connect to my tablet so i can use the dran thing
you'll need to open a ticket with them, for that
Anyone know if there's code already available to copy or whatever, for setting up a websocket to toggle source visibility?
you can hotkey that
::1 FTW 🙂
but 3rd party programs can already do that, stream deck, touch portal, etc.
I want to add it to my overlay, that gets events from a game.
@daring impk you all 3 of you thanks
I want to toggle a transition when a goal is scored automatically
yea, you'll need some sort of macro program
Because you can't play video on a webpage with audio unless you interact with the page first, and I don't want to interact with it.
Please help me out of this. When I Update the OBS Studio in 28.0.3 now here. I can't see in Tools the Multi-RTMPS for Multi Streaming
make sure you install the compatible version: https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases/download/0.2.8.1-OBS28/obs-multi-rtmp-setup.exe
does anyone know how to get more than one spout cam virtual cam output
Hi all! I'm using ur software to stream League of Legends for quite a while now. I have set up an automatic screen changer plugin to change the screen from League lobby to League ingame. Recently it stopped working and i have to change the screens manually which is quite a hussle...Is there anyone who could help?
are you using advanced scene switcher or automatic scene switcher
automatic
ok, I know way less about that one, show me how you set it up?
ok the advanced one
is on github
i can the download the advanced one
but you can tell me how can i get it from github? i dont really know that platform
can you*
k
nvm
i found it
so im going to download that one
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/releases/tag/1.18.0 here,at the bottom
but if you want I can also try helping you with automatic
oh it seems the advanced one is better so
it's much more fleshed out
i bet
so i installed it in the obs folder
how can i access it
in the studio?
i should be
in the "tools" menu
like automatic
right?

i have casual question, when i update obs, shall i uninstall it first?
can i just over install it
one on the other
the two version
ok nvm
nope, don't need to uninstall
?
👍
ok so
it has a wiki and guides
but since u are here
can u be kind and tell me the basics 🙂
that is perhaps faster
first thing is : start it in the "general" tab
alright
second, almost everything is done in the "macros" tab.
For each macro that you create, it has two fields, the upper fields to make conditions that will trigger the macro, and the lower one to define a sequence of actions it'll do when triggered
(you click on the + buttons to add macros/conditions/actions)
alright
i assume
i need the "screen" macro
type
but how exactly does that work
im really not good at programming 🙂
I've never personally done anything with LoL myself, but the way I understand it, what you want to do is in the condition use "window"
what do you mean "screen"
a
hscene
scene
sry
i cant find "window" there anyway
wait
im dumb
window is there:D
okay
yea i need that
in the action switch scene, since what you want it to do is switch the scene, in conditions window since you want to do it when a given window is there
(you want to select the relevant window in the dromdown, it needs to be currently open to be in there)
yup exactly
also I would advise clicking "perform action only on condition change" there, otherwise it'll keep switching to it while the given window exists, stopping you from potentially going to any other scene
techinical difficulty
i started the league client
but its still not there in the windows dropdown menu
any idea?
i restart obs
just close and reopen the adv-ss window?
looks good to me, check if it works as intended
okay
how can i see
the advanced screen switcher "in action" i mean
should i be able to see
if it switches automatically
in the obs?
im asking coz, normally it shows u blackscreen
the stream so the only way to check is by twitch afaik
i mean blackscreen in the obs
do a recording
Are there any reports on the fact that the stock Automatic Scene Switcher doesn't actually switch to the correct scene, since it doesn't detect the active window if the tool is already active, and relaunch OBS?
OBS Launch, Activate ASS
Close OBS
Close GAME/Window
Open OBS (ASS active on launch)
Open Game```
And it doesn't do it
Now, If the game is open and you reinitiate the ass tool, it works as intended
any reason you're not using adv-ss?
Will check it out
And this is besides the point. The advanced plugin should not be the fix to a tool that's incorporated already
yeah, but it's a workaround
I just did a recording, but it seems i need some further help. None of the macros work really :/ im stuck on my "welcome" screen which is a picture, nothing else. So when i enter the lobby it doesnt switch to the lobby.. when i enter ingame.. it doesnt switch to ingame... any idea?
oh
advanced
screen switcher was inactive😂
i had to start it
hehe
👍
?
did a recording again
the lobby screen is full black, then it switches back to my "welcome, stream starts etc." screen which is a pic
and is stuck there
ah
i just looked at the obs
it is switching itself automatically
but it switches back to that welcome screen for some reason
gimme a log?

(also, disable automatic scene switcher, to make sure it isn't causing shit on the side)
oh oh
that might be
the issue
aha
now i checked
what its doing
so when i press recording or streaming, it automatically jumps to the ingame screen (second macro)
and skips the first one
wait, the two windows are named the same?
(lobby)
u are totally right
i forgot that i have to setup it by running a test run
to create that window
haha
ok
thx!
👍
yea in LEague there 2 separate windows (client for lobby) and ingame client for ingame
yeah, but are those two windows named the same?
cause if they are I think adv-ss can't make the difference between them
oh ouki
im going to do a recording
Everything works as intended! 🙂 Im ready to start today's stream 😎 Thank you very much for your help! 🤝 🍷

having a weird issue where the Exeldro build of obs-shaderfilter (1.21.1 updated for OBS28) is not loading at all in my Portable install, nor will it load in a freshly installed, clean POrtable Install.
The log files for both installs shows the following...
Skipping module '../../obs-plugins/64bit/obs-shaderfilter.dll', not an OBS plugin
The plugin is properly installed in the right directories, and OBS is not popping up any compatibility warnings, so its not a QT thing AFAIK
and for completeness
My normal portable installs Log file : https://obsproject.com/logs/RRm-Ymcpdey8ppGd

and it loads on a non-portable install? can you gib a log of that?
lemme try the non-portable install, havent tried that yet since ive switched to just portable installs at this point
oh, apparently uninstalling the Program Files (local copy?) of OBS doesnt also remove all the plugins. one moment

same thing, "shaderfilter.dll is not an OBS plugin"
where did you get this shaderfilter from?
you installed with the zip or the installer?
this one was with the installed
and yes, it was that page exactly
ive tried this with both the ZIP and the EXE
im thinking so, though im not sure the best place for it, since their repo doesnt have an Issues tracker
odd. I get the same messages, but seems all the dependencies are ok 🤔
i noticed someone else mention that it wasnt loading for them either, but dont thing anything got resolved
im guessing you used that Dependency tool
i did
was just about to use it when i saw you post that 😄
doesn't load on lin either
glad its not just me, but also not-glad its not just me LOL
thanks for the confirmation @fossil wyvern @analog ruin
I mean from what I understand, it's just lacking a "this is an OBS plugin" flag or smth
oh yeah, its probably something that was overlooked. should I just ping Exeldro here with a URL back to the first message?
eh possibly that or message ont he forums?
just messaged them on the forums with the link back here 🙂
I dont see any exports, which I think is abnormal for plugins, but again, I've never developed a plugin before, and in general I'm just a dumbass when it comes to c/c++, sooooo.. Not sure if those are strictly needed or not
have had multiple reports and confirmed that build is not working, but have not had time to investigate yet
take all the time you need, glad that its known. Thanks 🙂
dude, it's not that hard, read the channel descriptions before you post

thx
yeah, they were actually searching for the suggestion channel
anyone else use deckboard??
yo
so i have this cool plugin win-capture-audio
and i have stuff sepperated
but when i save a replay, every audio is mashed together anyway. can i save replays with only a single audio of all?
i found no info about this in the internet
please ping!
oh wait
there is a help category oops
show me edit > advanced audio properties

ok, adn settings > output?
!localadvanced you need to be in advanced mode for multiple tracks audio

why did it send like this
discord be stupid
don't use custom ffmpeg in the recording tab
custom what?
oh also in output > recording > audio track i have only the first track selected, is this good?
no
read the guide I linked you
did you click "enable replay buffer" in the replay buffer tab?
how does it sepperate the tracks anyway? does it just save each track as a sepperate audio file?
no, they're all saved in the file
oh it turned itself off, thanks
how do i sepperate them while editing?
if your editor works with multiple audio tracks they'll appear there

Hello, good, I have a problem with the NDI obs, it does not detect the source of pc gamer -> pc streaming, any solution?
- Go to Tools > NDI of pc gamer and check that it is enabled.
- Check that both pcs use NDI 4.5.1
- Exclude OBS in the firewall settings, or just turn it off for testing.
- Ensure that they are on the same network. The third number on their IPs must be the same (would only change if there are multiple networks)
- Try restarting both pcs
Hi!
Does anyone know how can I automate the process of restarting frozen stream? I have ip camera that is constantly live streaming and sometimes it stops working for a few seconds. When it stops working obs freezes its live stream and i only can see one frozen frame in obs for the rest of day or week until i manually go to obs and restart source. Live stream is going through vlc media source. Is there some plugin that can fix this? Thanks in advance!
@ruby grove try the advanced scene switcher plugin: create a new macro, set activation condition to "if" "media" state is "error", action to "media", "restart"
Thanks! Ill try.
Is it NDI plugging update it?
!plugins they're working on it 😄
OBS Studio supports a variety of plugins that provide new kinds of sources, filters, and additional features.
- For a list of plugins, see OBS Studio Resources: Plugins
- To learn how to install or remove plugins, see the Plugins Guide
- To see if the plugins you use are available for the latest version of OBS Studio, see the OBS Studio 28 Plugin Compatibility table
https://clips.twitch.tv/DrabHonorableWerewolfPeanutButterJellyTime-Xe9fJoLNyhX1I7Qg Can someone tell me what plugins it is? it is a voice change but without voicemod

Please I’m new here and I’m very interested to learn how to use obs

hi~ i was wondering if there already a plugin/script where it keeps a config / backup of output settings depending on streaming service or so? ( would be good if there was a plugin which saved like the whole profile/config depending on streaming service)
for example. for yt streams i stream on a higher bitrate , or let's say im using hevc encoder settings for it~
and for twitch streams i needa change the settings to be 6,000~ and h264 settings~
do you think using multiple profiles will help in this? ( like keeping 1 profile for yt, and another for twitch)
or automating this via ws works? ig i remember seeing its possible to make changes to encoder settings such as bitrate etc~ ( yea it does)
different profiles do this
Is anyone able to tell me how to get Tuna - https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/tuna.843/ to work with iTunes? I downloaded it but there's no iTunes selections except the last update included a fix for a crash for iTunes album art. With that update I assume it's not a window title style overlay. Checked the Tuna discussion as well and wasn't able to find much unfortunately revolving around iTunes
according to its page, it doesn't work with itunes
yeah I wasn't sure about that either. Just strange with the latest updates section saying this
probably a dead feature 😦
could forward it through last.fm, just don't want to overload my PC with unnecessary apps
Using Snip which is really really old school now but does the bare minimum for now
For some reason in my custom browser source, window.obsstudio.getCurrentScene always comes back with scene===null … am I missing something basic? I’ve tried all different permission levels..
that is referencing this option
Ahha
I figured out the problem - higher permissions were needed, but selecting higher permissions in the drop down and clicking ‘refresh’ is not sufficient. You have to click ‘ok’ to apply the higher permissions
Anyone of ya'll can see what plugin causes this crash on shutdown? I cant immediately see anything
just in case, got a log to go with it?
I have to cleanse a log then. It still shows browser docks. I was more wondering if there was any obvious references to a plugin here.
I'm looking, it's just that semi-obvious references can be more obvious if we know what plugins are there
quite literally no way to even guess without a session log
I see a shitload of references to "nvwgf2umx_cfg" which is apparently part of nvidia drivers (?)
yeah i saw that but should be unrelated.
tiny tubular generally indicates it's plugin-related, right?
unless it's a crash with the background remove filter
or streamfx's nvidia shit?
Can cleanse a log if needed, but it's on an empty scene collection and these should be the plugins
- Streamdeck's own
is the nvidia SDK installed + a RTX GPU?
RTX GPU yea, erhhm nvidia sdk not sure.
Usually a plugin not releasing its hold on a source I thought. Wonder if move isn't playing nicely as that was the biggest offender on tiny tubular in older releases
really not super interested in assisting without a log. it's like trying to solve a puzzle without a complete set.
I've been waiting to update to v28 but i just did it today. I know the Websocket is built in with this version, but how do I configure those settings now? I can't seem to find the menu.
Nevermind, it's a scene collection causing it.
It's keeping the reference when you switch to a clean Scene Collection. Doesn't crash when booting on a clean scene collection, then closing.
Hmm, guessing it's probably Source Record being the culprit again I'll do some more testing first.
Even though the old close on crash Source Record used to do didn't happen when you disable the filters, and they are disabled here. Hmm.
should be in the tools menu. if it isn't, press help>check file integrity.
Sounds like you clobbered the built-in websockets by installing websockets meant for a version meant for older builds of OBS. Close OBS, then uninstall all mentions of obs-websockets in Windows' Add Remove Programs, then open OBS and run the file integrity check under the Help menu.
Ooo, I didn’t check my add/remove programs when I was getting rid of the older versions. I’ll try this!
I did all the steps and it still does not detect the sources :/
Is there an OBS Teleport plugin that works with Game Capture?
kind of a PITA that I want to dual stream but it only works with all or video filter
If you want to dual stream, why not just use the Multi-RTMP plugin and call it good? No need for multiple OBS instances...
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964/
because I need them to be a separate size
One is a 16:9, another is 9:16
should I just boot into my bootcamp side of windows and use OBS there via NDI's beta?
Main issue I'm trying to solve is I have an AMD Ryzen 2700x + Nvidia RTX 2070 8GB card and though my card can stream and play on one computer I can't encode twice using my GPU, maybe my CPU can handle it but it's easier if I just offload it
Nvidia gpus have up to 3 encode instances.
Do you mean something else when you say encode ?
Because plenty of people will use one for stream encode and a separate instance for recording at the same time.
I mean if I do both from my GPU then it overloads it and it can't handle it
Both what ? stream and game ?
Stream -> Encode -> Send to TikTok, Stream -> Encode -> Send to Twitch
- Game
Does the latest NDI plugin need NDI Runtime 5.0+?
Ah 2 stream instances with dual obs instances, ok, now it makes sense.
That I do not know.
i hope you're not using ndi to send video betwen obs instances?
Okay lemme be clear
DEKSTOP
Streams 1920x1080 to Twitch at 30 FPS
MACBOOK PRO i9
Streams 1080x1920 to TikTok at 30 FPS
This is my current goal because my desktop cannot handle both
try capping your game at 30 fps
Yeah that's not the issue
what are you using to send video between PCs?
right now just booted mac into windows and going to try NDI beta
So it works but struggling to get NDI to properly sync and look/sound good
the audio cuts out and the actual performance leaves something to be desired
running 400/400 download upload avg wireless on my mac
@fallow stratus i don't know why you're doing a 2pc setup in the first place, killing both performance and quality with ndi, when you have a hardware encoder
I really can't reiterate it again
I need different OUTPUTS, so one is 16:9 at 1920x1080, the other is 9:16 at 1080x1920 with different sized-sources, so I stream the 1920x1080 from my PC to Twitch, and my 9:16 to TikTok at the same time is my goal
my question still stands, why are you doing this with two computers instead of running 2 copies of obs-studio on one?
if I use my PC to game and stream, it can't handle both outputs, so I'm trying to put the TikTok encoding/streaming on my other computer
i find it hard to believe that ndi would have a lesser performance impact than an extra nvenc session, unless you do some heavy composition with shaders and whatnot
If I play Elden Ring and stream it at 1280x720 30 FPS it will use a lot of my encoder, like 60-70%

I can run multiple OBS instances, I have them setup, but as far as I've tested my computer cannot handle both
@fallow stratus could you also screenshot settings>output>recordingstreaming?
i assume you have already tried a second copy on the same pc; when you did that, what did you use to send video between obs-studio instances? @fallow stratus
I have a what's it called Projector
and I captured the video from there
the top is the projector, not actually playing ROR2 just using it as an example
@fallow stratus so, a single obs-studio instance eats too much gpu time? try disabling some filters, like streamfx face tracking
ndi's a/v desync and lag are known issues, any connection instability can and will cause them, and the only fix is to restart the ndi source, but that may cause desync between multiple ndi sources, not to mention the issue will re-emerge as soon as your wifi ping spikes again
The problem mainly is when I was recording with my second instance it was dropping frames and stuff which to me means that I can't stream two at the same time or is the performance different between streaming / recording?
i don't think i'll be able to solve ndi desync, so i tried to see if something can be done to address excessive resource usage with a 1pc setup, but that too seems impossible, unless i've missed something
are your games capped at 60 or less?
yes
"dropping" frames as in rendering lag, encoding lag, or dropped frames?

a single 2070 is more than enough for 2x 1080p 30fps encodes, even with all the composition overhead, although your scene collection is quite complex, too
Yeah I have quite a few scenes, my multiple game captures is to capture Stream Raiders and Stream Avatars
I'll do a test stream tomorrow and report back ❤️ thank you!
If you're Streaming to Twitch, you might find dropping your Stream to 720p would be beneficial to you and to your viewers 😄
Has there been a Plugin for OBS v28, to do Instant Replays?
i personally think the plugin is much better as it has an insane amount of options
Thank You
"Check the Lua scripts" they said, "It'll only take a second" they said lol
I came there for ONE THING yo 😄
afaik it is 720
You mentioned it being 1080p here?
Is there anyway to !sounds commands with OBS? i been trying to figure out a method for months and everything points me to using streamlabs
I set everithing how you said but today camera stream again freezed and one frame continue to stream.
You set your media in OBS and with TP you can set up command to catch "!sound" from chat and then toggle your media.
(Damn, I thought I was still in TP discord giving answers to people :D)(But suggestion how to do it still remains same)
what's TP?
@ruby grovedo you have logs from when camera froze?
i have done the openvr for obs plug-in and still cant put a openvr source so i can only have 1 vr lens when i stream
I typically do 720p right now because not enough viewers anyways but the 1080x1920 one I’d like to do 1080p
Unless your streaming to YouTube, 720p is where it's at. Your steam will look better on twitch at 720p than it will at 1080p.
Think of your stream like a painting, your resolution is how big your canvas is, and your bitrate is your paint, but you only got exactly 1 gallon of paint, but you still need all the detail in your painting.
Lower res with same bitrate looks better.
Unless you're streaming to YouTube in which case 20k+ bitrate at 1440p or higher will be the best image.
I can demonstrate this for you if you like after I get home from work so you can see the difference
8k bitrate 720p twitch is the sweet spot
Huh, it says they recommend between 200-6000, what would you recommend for TikTok where the user will see every detail on their phone?
My logic was on Twitch most don’t even want to use that kind of DL speed to keep up and they like my stream at 720p too, while on TikTok people are phones only so they’re more likely to see minute details
I have some logs from today, but Im not sure if they are from frozen stream
I can post it here
I know
I dont know when exactly but ill try to find one
Stream froze today but I dont have any log file with today date. I just have some with yesterday date and date modified 10.5.
post logs?
I didnt open OBS today. I opened OBS and start streaming yesterday.
Today stream froze an I just manually refreshed sources
No. I stream all the time through obs
Can it has yesterdays date

I don't have much experience with TikTok, I would personally reccomend not dealing with TikTok at all, if you want to know why, just check YouTube for "TikTok Exposed" or "The Dark Side of TikTok" or something, I know Upper Echelon Gamer made SEVERAL videos on the topic, Muta has made a few over the years. - TikTok is in no way a secure or especially Safe thing to deal with, and you being a Creator they going to harvest EVEN MORE data than a simple consumer/viewer
Twitch suggests 6,000kbps for non-partner/non-affiliate people, 8,000 for Partners & Affiliates, but the average nobody can still use the 8k bitrate... Just don't go OVER 8k or Twitch will let it slide at 1st then later on outright reject your Stream. (Again, if you like, I can demonstrate this for you in a bit)
@ruby grove vlc sources aren't logging anything useful, but your rtmp stream disconnects frequently, might be a network issue
try using media sources instead of vlc sources to play the cameras, they should have more useful logs, hopefully
Its the problem
Rtsp doesnt work via media source
I dont know why but it can start stream
Only black screen and i know that my rtsp url is correct
Can advanced scene switcher plugin reload camera when it stops giving signal
@ruby grove try manually specifying input format as "mpegts"
looks like vlc sources aren't signaling to obs-studio that the video feed died, so advanced scene switcher likely won't be able to do this, unless..
Do i need to try to specify it in plugin
@ruby grovetry the "if video has not changed" condition
Yes, if you do it too short, you could have false negatives
As in there's video, but had no movement
But is "for at least" good option
You decide
I recently downloaded the latest version of streamFX and after installing it, when I open OBS it doesn't show that it has been installed at all
when I look at filters there is nothing there

I did
am I supposed to add \obs-plugin
selected all users
I selected the Recommended option
which is all users
this is the default path
but I could change it to this
however on yt video they said installing in just in the obs folder should be fine
I actually I just tried it now and same thing
I installed it in the plugin folder
no, you have to specify the root obs-studio folder, not the plugins subfolder
ahh I think I figured it out
it was installing in the program data instead of program files
it is stupid how they select the obs path plugin
I don't understand how it is still not detected
just did installing it

@ivory owlpick portable, install to %programfiles%/obs-studio
@ivory owl Are you installing the release or alpha version of StreamFX. You need the latter for OBS v28
the newest one
"Newest" of what? The 0.11 release or the alpha 0.12?
I installed an older version of streamFX, but this happen
only the new alpha versions are compatible with OBS 28
it means I am installing it correctly in the correct folder but obs just doesn't read it or detect it
Yeah but the Alpha one doesn't get detected
obs can't read the files
what version?
StreamFX 0.12.0 Alpha 134
