want me to send the log before re installing the plugin or after?
cuz I just deleted the old version
huh? install the version you just said you had and if it doesn't work, send a log.
alright one moment
I just reinstalled it and it worked WHATTT
You got to be kidding me
Thanks for your time but some how it is working all of the sudden
after the 10th installation of today
apparently I should have left it install in this folder as shown
C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins\StreamFX
but previously it was on C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins
rule of thumb is to always leave that sort of stuff on what it defaults to 🙂
the weird thing is it was on default, which was this screenshot
but some how it automatically changed to another default folder
if you read the release/install notes for streamfx i think this is covered actually.
the part right below that was most likely your issue. if you just upgraded and didn't uninstall first.
Yeah it could be
Is there a good green screen plugin? I'm aware of the chroma filter but it won't do what I need. I've found xsplit vcam and it's fairly solid. Just didn't know if there was a plugin I was unaware of or an "internal" way to do it.
are you working with a real green screen or want a fake one?
Fake/AI
do you have an RTX GPU?
Yes

The redistributables required for the NVIDIA Noise and Background Removal filters can be found here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/
Once both are installed,
The NVIDIA Noise Removal option will appear as part of the "Noise Suppression" filter, alongside RNNoise and Speex.
The NVIDIA Background Removal option will appear as its own filter under "Effect Filters."
How resource intensive is it?
at most like 3-4% GPU? generally less as it's primarily using the ML cores
might vary per person, worth experimenting at least
but either way, if you want a fake green screen, you have to sacrifice performance somewhere
Thanks for the link!
Hola 👍
The reality is the younger generation that I’m trying to target is only on TikTok, they don’t care about YouTube live, they don’t care about getting the twitch app just to watch us, they want something in stream. I know about the data harvesting and frankly so do many but there’s good money to be made on the app so 🤷♂️
Twitch does not at all suggest 8000kbps anywhere. People just started poking the ingest servers and learned that things -seem- okay up to 8000, possibly forgetting that audio tracks add on top of that
saludos, alguien sabe algo sobre el plug in de NDI?
Is there a plug-in out there that can take songs from a folder and play them while displaying album art, song and artist.
It would get the information from drawing from the metadata.
I'm assuming something like this has to exist. 😅
If anyone knows a plug-in like that let me know I'd like to use it. 🤗
Hii I’ve been trying to install the move transition to obs but for some reason it isn’t being installed properly/ it isn’t working. It used to work but recently with the new updates it hasn’t. It’s been updated recently as well. Any tips?
It appears as this
that's not the move filter though
which feature of the move plugin do you need?
Has there been a virtual camera update since the OBS update?
From what i understand there was a fix with an issue where there'd be a green tint to the video.
Not sure how relevant it is/was to VC.
it fixed the virtual cam going green
P sure that’s Tuna
yo peeps. how can i record my game and camera footage separate?
the isntaller if you're on a normal install of OBS, zip if you're on a portable install
@fossil wyverndont know if you remember my previous problem but isnt this the same file that gave me issues?
wait lemme do some archeology
you had me delete this same source-record.dll file
there isn't an official NDI release for OBS v28 yet. if this is an alpha, you'd need to report that to the plugin dev and not here.
yee, found it, might have been caused by an old version of the plugin or smth, try installing the latest version and see if it works
sick
do i unzip the file then put it in C:\Program Files\obs-studio\ or just put it straight?
are you on a portable install?
believe i downloaded staright from the site
then use the installer
yes everything in my message still applies.
- that isn't the official release
- that is an alpha and you should report any issues to the dev and seek support from them.
seems to work. gonna restart the program to see if it dies on me
👍
aight seems good thx bro
any news about NDI working with obs 27+?
There is a pre-alpha fork I believe.
Does anyone know if its possible (or if theres a plugin) make scenes or captures do what an Image Slideshow does?..... So like maybe I have visual input1,2,3,4 (but video sources, not images) etc..... then in a scene that just keeps automatically changing whats being displayed in a box or on screen
But only for obs 28+, 27 would still use the normal NDI
i think you mean 28+ and i would recommend sticking on 27.2.4 until a official release is available as no support will be offered for issues with the alpha.
Yes, you need the “Source Switcher” plugin. It will let you do a slideshow of any source and/or scene
Ill look
thank you so much
And it IS updated to OBS 28. Been using it myself
yeah thats what im on. just waiting for ndi to update so i can use 28+ lol
pre-release version :
https://github.com/dev47apps/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.9.2
i don't think we should be recommending a pre-release version without letting everyone know that there isn't any sort of support offered for it. there isn't even an issues tab on the github page to report anything.
that being said, i know plenty are using it without issues.
yeah ill just wait for the full version. rather not deal with any potential issues
fair
Hi everyone, Is there anyway to multiplatform with each stream having their own overlays ?
no, not unless you run multiple OBS instances
Yeah but that will take more POWER 😅 is there any way to minimize that ?
Like if you can have the encoding of the gameplay and cam from one OBS To the other ?
not really. In order for an overlay to exist, it needs to composite and render, before output. Then you'd need each to be encoded seperately. I dont think there is much you can do here
not really, you still need to go thru the whole process. You can't just composite "a little bit" 😅 Its all or nothing. Once encoded you cannot modify without compositing again
Okay thank you very much 💪 But it would be Awesome if in the future that exist for the casters
Render pipeline work seemingly has already been started which may help with that. But not sure it would fully be applicable here
would be awesome, but im pretty sure thats literally impossible 😂
Okay 😢 I like to believe anything possible i guess 😂
maybe, if you just believe hard enough 😉
Just get a 3 pc setup like Dr lupo 
Yeah xD
is there a way to do a broadcast delay on obs? i do a call in show and i want to be able to mute audio before it goes live if i nee dto
Answered in #development ^^^^^^
Has anyone tried obs commander with NOOB CMDR? I can’t seem to get it to connect to the web socket? Can I use the socket that was already there or do I have to dload another one?
looks like it hasn't updated for websockets 5.0 so you'll have to install 4.9-compat
@fossil wyvern oh thank you 🙏
Whats your usecase? could it be replaced by adv-ss? (generally superior)
After several hours, I was able to set up my midi controller, via websocket. I have three questions for you: 1. How can I switch from Layer A to Layer B so that I have twice as many buttons? 2. Is it possible to activate or deactivate a webcam filter via hotkey? 3. How can I view the audio sources of the audiomonitor plugin from midi mixer?
Thanks to Yolo for help today and to others for any answers.
@harsh topaz I want to use it with voice attack to open and close .mp4 files. I’m hoping not to have to downgrade NDI V as well…
And then as I grow more familiar, she’d this noobish exterior, more difficult transitions, camera swapping,
Shed*
How can I add a timer? How does it work if you can. Lets say 5 minutes. Does it start countdown everytime you select switch to the scene? (Stream Elements)
a timer to do what?
Just a countdown timer.
a countdown timer that displays on screen?
Correct.
Tools > scripts
Press the lil "+" at the bottom left and select "countdown.lua"
can you tell me how to activate or deactivate the nvidia backgroud filter with a hotkey on obs?
The redistributables required for the NVIDIA Noise and Background Removal filters can be found here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/
Once both are installed,
The NVIDIA Noise Removal option will appear as part of the "Noise Suppression" filter, alongside RNNoise and Speex.
The NVIDIA Background Removal option will appear as its own filter under "Effect Filters."
Filters still require a script to expose hotkeys iirc
so I have to wait for someone to do the script huh ... thanks
or use adv-ss
do you know how to make the monitor audio sources read as if they were obs audio mixer sources? I should associate them with the midi mixer but he doesn't see them at all
I'd advise adv-ss over scripts, safer imo
AdvSS my butt
gladly
for the Input overlay the controller is showing but my input are not
@north cape did you run obs as admin?
yes
Well, I'd suggest looking at the wiki
Near the bottom are directions for contacting author
Maybe they can help. Or maybe universal will be hanging around here and see
he doesnt have a discord?
based on their own instructions for getting in contact with them, i'd say no.
all right I'll try
https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases/
The author has made a new release for obs 28. You can download from this link.
How to know if macro in advanced scene switcher is running
I want it to ran all the time
thank.. solved
I'm not sure if what I'm about to ask for is allowed here but does anyone know of any audio splitting plugins cause I'm looking to capture different background audios so that when I decide to watch a video or go on a discord call my obs software doesn't pick it up while I'm trying to either stream or record gameplay I'm having a bit of trouble since I'm not sure which ones to trust as I'm a little scared of getting a virus on my gaming pc any help is welcomed
To capture only audio from specific programs:
Windows
- add an Application Audio Capture (BETA) source and select the program to capture
- alternatively, you can also use the win-capture-audio plugin on Windows 10 2004 and later
macOS
- macOS 13 (Ventura): add a macOS Screen Capture source, use Window or Application, and select the app to capture
- for previous versions of macOS, follow the macOS Desktop Audio Capture Guide
Guys does anyone knows how to set up properly NDI to stream in a second computer
Srceen resolution and Hz in the main computer how I havce to put it?
I still have problem. Plugin doesnt do anything to unfreeze stream.
Anything else i could try
@fossil wyvern
Hi guys, do you know how to make midi mixer display the audio tracks of audio monitor plugin? unfortunately it only sees those of the obs audio mixer but not of the audio monitor plugin.
Hey, I was just wondering which plugin I can use for the following purpose:
- zoom my current camera IN to show a chonker face or smth and then switch back.
I found this plugin: StreamFX https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/streamfx-for-obs®-studio.578/
But maybe there is a better option, wdyt?
Can I ask how to install it? The explanation on github is something on elfish
Super non-firendly for people who don't know this thingy
run those commands in a windows command prompt
directs me to miscrosoft store for python
The indian guy i'm watching to understand get this msg
doesn't look like it
yeah, you need to install pywinctl
i forgot how to launch shell instead of cmd
cmd was not working correctly for my ffmpeg
so I used shell, maybe this time it will work too?
no idea, am not on windows
Hey friends. I'm on Mac OS 12.6 and recently upgraded to OBS 28. My Elgato Stream Deck is still working great with the upgraded plugin, but I tried updating my closed captioning plugin to support OBS 28, https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin/releases/tag/v0.28, no dice. It's just not picked up and my logs don't seem to indicate any issues, https://obsproject.com/logs/TvPhWJe4L0P0YlLo. I've also made certain that in my Security & Privacy section there's nothing I need to enable for that plugin to run since it's not from a trusted source. I'm curious if folks have other suggestions?
- macOS 12.6 (OK)
- No Output Session
Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz - OK! / Apple Apple M1 Pro (not in benchmark DB)
where is the .plugin located exactly? can't quite tell from your screenshot
It's at the root of the plugin folder.
I also tried in a sub folder with the same name as the plugin.
Also, thanks in advance for any assistance. 😎
is it in /Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins or /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins?
/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins
it needs to be in the other directory
Ahh, TIL, k, let me give that a go.
(create the plugins directory if it doesn't exist)
Works perfectly now. Thanks to much @wary escarp!
Hello! New to the discord so direct me if this is the wrong channel.
But I was wondering if it's within the realm of possibility to write a plug-in to allow me to change the paramaters of the "color correction" filter on a certian layer with a midi controller.
In other words, change the Gamma, contrast, brightness, etc. From a midi controller with knobs or sliders.
I've stumbled across a pretty cool way to use OBS with some analog video equipment and I'm gonna be doing some live visuals, and if I could adjust things with physical knobs instead of using my mouse for a slider, it'd be amazing!
I myself have no idea how to do that, but I doubt it's impossible. I'm sure with enough plugins & enough time spent tinkering you can make that happen.

Will probably need to install websockets 4.9 compat cause it looks like it hasn't been updated for websockets 5
technically there's this plugin too, but it won't work with obs 28
https://github.com/cpyarger/obs-midi/releases/tag/tag-0.9.3-ALPHA-3.66
Thanks! I'll install those and see if I can get close!
Yesss. I'm gonna need to wrap my head around actually implementing this, but it looks like this will do exactly what I need. Thanks so much
👍
Penwywern to the rescue.
the plugin does it more cleanly than the script as far as I remember, but you'd have to revert versions of OBS cause that plugin ain't gonna work on OBS 28
Can I have 2 versions of obs installed? I don't need the newest version for what I do, I'm down for whatever is easiest
Sure, just get the portable version.
you could, but I'd suggest first trying with the script
if it doesn't work for you, check out the plugin
https://obsproject.com/download
=> Download Zip
Back up your scene collections before you start messing with multiple OBS versions though.
Just personal experience. Better spend a few MB just in case you mess something up and need to go back to untainted version.
%appdata%/obs-studio/ basic folder
For sure thanks
hel pls amd

Is there a way to "freeze" a scene via a plugin?
I'd like to freeze it temporarily while my cameras move (to prevent motion sickness), then un-freeze when the move completes
Ah, thanks!
Will look into this
If you need to turn it on/off at specific times, advanced scene switcher might help you out.
👀 is that a plugin?
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/
Cool, thanks!
Ignore the name. It's basically a macro plugin
=> If this happens
==> Then do this.
Without knowing your exact details I'd think:
Add freeze filter to camera.
Advance scene switcher
- If this happens
- Enable filter
- Wait 3 seconds
- Disable filter
I think I'm gonna need to make my own plugin at the end of the day (basically I need to make it so people can queue up camera motions as scenes, and have the transition button freeze, pan, and unfreeze), but it is always helpful to see similar things in action
Making your own plugin for that seems excessive.
Get bot commands to fire events in your OBS that does what you set the reward to do.
It is work, but it's way less work than setting up a plugin environment and building a plugin.
Hm, possibly
The issue is simply that I need to make a semi-complex system simple for non tech-savvy individuals
Which is easier said than done
Well it very much depends on the specifics of your situation and what you're trying to do of course.
Yup
Hey guys, quick question, when i Install the NDI plugin its says that i couldnt load" could somebody help me out?
Ndi hasn't been officially updated for v28 yet
Anyone know if they fixed the screen shot fllter plug in? It used to come in real handy.
There is an alpha & 'temp fix' version that allows you to still run OBS v28.
But there's of course no guarantees.
Do I have to set up a Macro for each Alert in Advanced Scene Switcher if I want my music to stop when my Alerts go off? Can someone please help me with this? This is like my fourth time asking.
I would probably try to route the audio in through a different audio-input
Then use Adv-ss to detect when that audio input goes above X volume
and when that happens, lower music volume.
Wait for it to go down again, increase music volume.
2 macros. One that checks "If volume over" and another "If volume under"
Do people always mute their music when an alert goes off or do people generally not make it a big deal?
Don't think I've ever really seen anyone do it.
But I can see why it's something you might want especially if you dont use mic and just blast music.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I do use a mic though.
I like this ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 😄
Well, like I said; easiest is to route the things into its own audio input. Then you have control over that input which should only alerts.
I used to do something similar a couple years back when I streamed.
Thank you for your help, Lindenkron =]
I'm not sure why, but today a lot of my OBS plugins have vanished from my Tools bar.
I can still use Scale to Sound, and Move Transition... But I can't access plugins like Transition Table and Source Copy if they've poofed from my Tools menu.
Any ideas? I don't know how to troubleshoot this

try reinstalling them. i'm seeing stuff like this in the log
13:01:32.342: LoadLibrary failed for '../../obs-plugins/64bit/transition-table.dll': The specified module could not be found.
Just the ones that are absent from the Tools menu? Orrr also the ones that don't go in the Tools menu in the first place but appear to be functioning right?
Oh i see it was only source copy and transition table that failed in the log
@mortal harbor I uninstalled Gradient Source, Source Copy, and Transition Table using add/remove programs. Then I re-installed them. Gradient is the only one that's working.
Do you think it's a version problem? I'm using OBS 27... Then again, I've been using that for a week or two now and I haven't had any problems with Copy Source up until now
the ones you just installed that aren't working were probably built for OBS 28
any reason you haven't upgraded? might help with future compatibility.
Short answer is that OBS28 doesn't work with the stable version of streamFX, and using the alpha version of streamFX made things break a lot.
got it
I guess I'll try installing older versions of these plugins until something clicks.
Weird. Source Copy was working fine with OBS27 earlier
Heyyy good suggestion, they're back in the tools menu
Thank you
Does anybody know of a plugin similar to NDI Filter (you can output multiple separate scenes) but one that uses RTMP or H.264 instead of NDI? Thanks.
I believe all that is available for exporting video from OBS to other applications via some mechanism or another is Spout, NDI, Teleport, SRT, and that multi-rtmp plugin.
GStreamer too
btw I uninstalled all phyton versions from my system and installed a fresh version
now I was able to install pywinctl and the plugin finally worked
but the script works super wierd
original image:
Zoomed:
And there are no any setting to change it
Also mouse zooming isn't working
I've installed a fresh StreamFX on latest OBS version, but it doesn't work:
A portable version of plugin on portable OBS
!log
There is no stable release of this plugin for OBS 28.
You surely installed the latest stable, alpha does not mean stable.
Which one is the stable?
https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-StreamFX/releases/tag/0.12.0a134
The only remark for "stable" word
For 28 you need to install the alpha but it is not stable. And I mean stable as in stable release, the opposite of alpha/beta/"release candidate".
So this one
Nah, not working
As usual the plugin I need the most is not working xD
On the GitHub page, in the right hand sidebar
that will take you to the alpha release
But it doesn't work as well
If you are getting the same error, then you didnt install it correctly, and OBS is still loading the non-compatible version.
that error ONLY appears for v27 plugins trying to be loaded in v28
And the 0.12 alpha is 100% a v28 plugin
Ok, all good now, don't know why I cleaned everything and installed it for the 5th time
Yo for anyone trying to multistream. There is a new update of the OBS VirtualCam. https://github.com/Avasam/obs-virtual-cam/releases
Virtual Camera is built into OBS now
Unless if it is a different Virtual Cam
The built in one only lets you make your entire screen a virtual cam. Not the camera alone
Wrong since 28, the little gear next to the "Start Virtual Camera" button.
Does anyone figured out to which plugin this crash (when you close OBS you get the msg) belongs to?
Thread 43F0: tiny_tubular_task_thread (Crashed)
it dosent belong to a specific plugin. It belongs to obs. Usually means something (a plugin, or a script) is holding a ref it shouldnt be
please post the whole crashlog 🙂 @glossy hatch
grab a normal session log and post it as well please.
- Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler
- Multiple Game Capture
- Windows 10 21H1 (OK)
- Not Admin
- No Output Session
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - OK! / GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER - OK!
too many threads 😩 Ran out of size to print the whole log :\ I dont think the cause is visible in that crash
i see these plugins:
19:07:08.850: move-transition.dll
19:07:08.850: dir-watch-media.dll```
plus the zoom and follow lua script. you could try disabling/removing each and seeing if the crash disappears.
the move transition plugin that you have installed is pretty out of date. the dir-watch-media one doesn't show any version number in the log so i'm not sure.
tbh I'm afraid if I remove them now I will lose all data (settings) I applied, so I guess I will just save your message for the future and delete them when I don't need it anymore
you can simply go to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64-bit and drag the .dll files for those plugins out of the directory and then open OBS.
you can always drag them back in and this won't remove any settings.
Ok let me try
I can't reproduce this crash anymore (haven't deleted any plugins) xD
only happens on shutdown, right?
Yes, I was testing something and I guess some plugin saved something and this caused a crash when I closed OBS
make sure the python script is in use (make it follow a bit), then shut down, and see if it crashes. If yes, that would seem a likely candidate 🙂
Or maybe it was just unfortunate timing like you said 🙂
How can I use a virtual camera v28
all you need to do is press the "start virtual camera" button.
Have you had any success with this? I've updated OBS and the asio plugin but don't see the asio tab in OBS
yes the plugin works fine. if you don't see an ASIO source in your sources list, the plugin probably isn't installed to the correct location.
is there anyway i can pull up where obs is pointing to for these plugins? this is where i have it now
unless you installed obs to a custom location, the right folder is C:/Program Files/obs-studio/obs-plugins/64bits
I installed to my D drive :/ worth reinstalling to my C?
right click the shortcut you use to open OBS, click properties, go to the shortcut tab, send a screenshot of that window.
can i get ndi pulgin
what do you need plugins for?

@boreal hearth what should I edit in layout.json to get rid of Durchblick showing the empty dock window on boot? I tried changing it to visible: false in both the first and 2nd like this in the layout.json:
"Clean": [
{
"visible": false
},
{
"visible": false
}
]
But it still shows, even on a new/clean layout.json file. Is it a bug atm?
I’ve posted in the macossupport channel but they are saying it sounds like I’m missing a plug-in so I thought I would try here as well. This is a section of my latest log file. Stream crashes 5 or more times in a 3 hour stream. Goes down then reconnects. Started after I upgraded to latest version of OBS.
!n Not a plugin problem, but a network problem.
If your stream is disconnecting or OBS Studio reports dropped frames, follow our Stream Connection Troubleshooting guide for details on how to reduce these issues.
I thought that too. I’ve had my internet checked. They were just here yesterday. Monitored while I was streaming and I never dropped speed. Even when the stream disconnected my speeds were steady. My son streamed today using another stream software (that I don’t like and don’t want to use) and had no issues. I did the stream connection troubleshooting and tried every step in it. I’ve ruled out everything on my end, but can’t nail down why this is all of the sudden happening.
If it's that re-producible, change things out until there's nothing but a single thing thats common denominator for it happening.
And make sure it's on clean OBS, no plugins.
It’s a clean version. Started after I updated OBS the last time so I deleted everything and started with a clean copy. Nothing else has changed. We’ve changed everything possible. Removing overlays and all the extras to make the stream as basic as possible. I can’t seem to pin down what’s causing it. It’s just frustrating. But I appreciate the feedback.
Need an older version of OBS? Go to https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases for OBS Studio versions back to 0.2.4
Perfect. I will try that! Thank you!
You can run different versions as portable.
If you're on mac I don't know exactly how that works though.
Ok. Thanks for all of your help!
Doesn't work on Mac
If you can confirm that there's no issues on previous version, and you have this issue on new version with a clean OBS - I'd open a github issue.
Oh, how do you run different versions of OBS then ? D:
Multiple installations in different folders?
!macpermissions On a Mac, it's not really that easy, due to this.
They apparently conflict.
Good thing I will never be on MAC :3
There's also no portable mode for Macs.
God trouble shooting without easily being able to switch between versions...
sounds like a hellscape
Shouldn't, if not latest version, then update, if can't update, get Windows 10, if can't/won't, unsupported.
More like "This seems bugged, or this is bugged"
"was this also the case last version?"

Heck, I don't even run OBS from an installation anymore, literally only use portable versions >.<
It just becomes so much easier with all the version changing and back and forth.
i have obs close and extract the move transition plugin installed it in obs studio in the main drive but its not showing up what am i missing in my obs
- Either you put it into the wrong folders.
- Or you're putting it into an OBS that is not the one you're launching.
its in the correct folder
Drag these:
Here:
And press "Yes"
Make sure OBS closed, and then open it after you've dragged them - of course.

You need to try on an installation of OBS 28, that is not streamelements.
It will work.

I am not sure why this is happening. I have even done a clean install of obs and the obs ndi plugin, with no luck
i got one last thing to try
I will def do that! Thanks!
The weird thing is that the only plugin that is not being able to be installed at the moment is the plugin called OBS-NDI
When i install other plugins, everything works fine.
I have even made sure that I am installing it to the right place where I am launching obs.
hold up i migth have found the issue
Which version of OBS do you have?
Im using the newest version of 27. I think the problem is that i am working on a pc that justed installed windows 10 eariler this morning, so i think the issue is that I need to update the pc.
I think that is the issue and if it works after I update my pc, I will feel dumb ngl
So no luck on installing the plugin. I'm not sure what is going on because other plugins works just fine except one. I'm not sure what is going on but I have some things I want to try. IF anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to tell me.
Did you also install the other folder?
nope. I installed it to the folder that my OBS is installed into.
- Close OBS
- Open .zip file with files.
- Open the top layer of OBS folder
- Drag drop
- Press "Yes overwrite"
- Open OBS.
Drag from left to right. In top folder. Drag both.
Nope that did not work. I even went into the bin folder and opened the obs from there instead of from the desktop to make sure I was launching the right version.
Are you absolutely sure you're using the right plugin version with the right OBS version?
Any particular reason for using the .zip instead of the .exe installer?
The .exe will also grab the required NDI libraries
Also I am using OBS version 27.2.4 and I am using OBS-ndi version 4.9.0 which from my understanding works with OBS version above 25
really
Yes.
One if a temp fix, other is alpha.
And are you trying to use NDI for local PC use or multi-PC?
It's worth a shot if you download a v28 portable version.
ok where are the downloads for the portable version
https://obsproject.com/download "Download Zip"
Ok thank you guy. I will try this.
Depending on what you're trying to do, you might also get better results with Teleport plugin.
OBS to OBS.
yeah, i am trying to do a dual pc stream set up from my old destop to my gaming laptop
Also an "official" alpha build:
https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/actions/runs/2977380826
(non-release).
You need to be logged in to download.
Use Teleport, you'll have a lot less struggles I think.
I used Teleport for ages since it came out.
Ok, can i find that teleport in the OBS plugins website
Should work v28 as well:
https://github.com/fzwoch/obs-teleport/releases
Put it into folder on both PCs.
Go to menu at top, teleport, select name.
Go to 2nd PC, add 'Teleport' Source.
Bam.
Ok I will try this out.
Hey I'm wondering how far along the ndi plugin is for OBS 28 on silicon is? All I can see is "in progress" but I was curious to see if anyone here knew a bit more
I'm guessing you tried the alpha build and it didn't work?
If by alpha you mean 4.9 then yes. I have no idea how to compile code but from the link you sent, it looks like it's complete just needs to be released?
If I'm reading that right if I figure out how to compile it, it should be working?
No, you log into github and press "download" on the applicable to your OS link at the bottom of the page.
It's already build.
And it's more like 4.9.2 or so. It's not 4.9, 4.9 is for v27
Oh wait why is it not in releases then if it's fully built? Are devs still bug testing?
Or is this like a super recent thing and I asked what was up at the most convenient time
It's been out for a like a month - but it's not a release build. Someone just build it while working on it. However its been reported to be working without issues so far - again, use at own risk as always.
Builds made on github are actions, that show up as they get build.
as you can see here, they're not all successful
https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/actions/
Anyway, heading to bed. Gl! Sure others can help if needed.
Thanks a lot!
how do u install the alpha
@harsh topaz Dude, thank you so much. I am working out the bugs and kinks but everything is going smoothly so far. Thank you so much.
IF you scroll back up in the logs in this channel. The person helping me linked to the alpha build for 28
nm i just posted it
hope this helps
hello everbody im new to the community and wanted to live stream using my sony hdr cx280, however, when i plug in the usb my sony handycam isnt showing in the video capture/device option. please help me out. thanks.
Cross posting is not the way to get the help you're looking for. The support channel you initially posted to is the right place.
I don't know, but something's definitely broken. Is the issue easily reproducible? I'll try to fix it if I can reproduce it
Depends on what causes it. I just delete the layout.json and boot up OBS 28, with durchblick. Then the empty dock appears.
Not exactly sure what triggers it to happen.
well that sounds simple enough to reproduce
It did it on a clean SC too
The only thing the layout.json produced on OBS shut down was the json i linked above.
the content doesn't seem wrong to me, it's just not loading it correctly i guess
Perhaps, I'd expect visible false to mean it shouldn't show the docked window on next boot.
It's unchecked in the menu, but still shows.
Re checking and unchecking does hide it though.
i'll look into it, sorry for putting this off for so long
Is alright, I just thought it was something I could fix on my end by adding/changing something in the json thus why I asked. 🙂
Why does the Downstream Keyer not show up after installation? I've used the windows installer for 0.2.5 and it doesn't seem to show up in OBS 27
that might be built towards OBS 28, so if QT is involved, you'll need an older version
yea just realized, I need to get in the habit of just assuming the plugins don't work for 27 if they are new LOL
yea got v23 and it works
any update for NDI plugin to work with obs 28?
there is an alpha pre-release version :
https://github.com/dev47apps/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.9.2
(for windows)
Thanks, I can't use this for production as you never know what can go wrong. Hoping for release soon....
is there any chance someone can help me with my plugin to help me switch scenes and such on my stream deck isnt working? was there any updates?
yeah, you need to update the streamdeck software
i pressed to see if the stream deck hjas any updates but it says that i am up to date
is there a specific way to do this
if you are up to date (5.3.3) and it's not working, better ask elgato support
ok thanks
@fossil wyvern @untold jay i figured out that advanced scene swither macro only work when my video (stream) freezes for the first time but after that when it unfreezes and freezes again it doesnt restart it. What should i do
Is there a plugin that triggers a filter when a specific filter is triggered/enabled?
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/
Is there an appropriate place to ask questions about obs websocket? I couldn't find a discord for that specifically.
the link to their discord server is in the main github page
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket
Ugh, I thought I searched that page. Thank you
👍
sorry if this isn't the place to ask >< hihi just wondering how to get a hold of move-transition 2.6.1 – i can't seem to get the obsproject resources page to give me a dl to this older version and the github only has source and... building from source is a bit much for me to learn atm i've found X_X
Exceldro is the creator, if anyone has an older version laying around, I would start with him
thank you!!! wow i. just didn't think to check that tab i guess
OBS NDI help please
any plugin that shows that replay buffer recorded successfully?
What kind of help are you looking for?
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
well it's hard to help if you leave.
They might have figured it out on their own.
@fossil wyvern @untold jay pls help
Hello, I just downloaded the "Move transition 2.7.0" plugin, copy and paste the files in the OBS folder (in my case in the OBS folder in steam) but when I enter the OBS in the transitions, it does not appear the transition of "move" that is the one that works is plugin, any help?
Is there an alternative to StreamFX's 3D transform filter that works in OBS 28?
why does it not work in OBS 28?
they haven't fully updated to v28 yet, the updated plugin is still in alpha and I'd rather not risk a crash etc while streaming
unless people have been using it and it seems fine?
people have been using it, but your concerns are perfectly valid
Yea. Alphas, especially with streamfx, are "use at your own peril".
Though I've been on an alpha for it since one was released and personally had no issues
Same here, been running well. Only crash ive run into is on quitting the app, its not on every quit, and it hasnt messed up my scenes or profiles as of yet (maybe a months worth of streams using it so far)
Welcome to the OBS community support channel. If you have a question, go ahead and ask it, and if someone is available to help they'll respond. Try to be detailed, and provide a log if you are having issues with streaming/recording (Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log). Please be patient if someone doesn't respond right away!
I might give it a try. I only need the 3D transform filter so maybe the risk of an error is lower
Im using 3d Transform and Source Mirror btw
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
Those are some good links, but keep in mind, most plugins will no longer be updated to work with v27, so you will be stuck with whatever their last v27 version was
They have home pages that explain what they all do
Welcome and good luck. If able though, update to v28 sooner than later so you are not stuck on an older version for too long.
It can, but its not specifically Lower Thirds
it just allows a source to always be rendered on top of everything else, even thru transitions
Its good for lower thirds, but also works for anything else (i’ve had mine set up with alerts, meme popups, etc)
Make sure if you do you only get the non-Alpha (pre-v0.12). 0.12 is for obs 28, 0.11.x is for v27
V28 plugins are, in the majority of cases, incompatible with v27 and visa-versa.
Its on their GitHub page in the Releases section. If you access from the top tab, it should go directly to the alpha (most recent release), if you go to the Releases section on the righthand side panel, v0.11 should be listed there
does the Alpha version of StreamFX include blur? Someone indicated they did not see it.
the changelog doesn't mention anything about blur so I'd expect it to be there as it is in previous releases
Thank you
Hey!
What's better, closed captions or captions by OBS
Thank you!
@glossy hatch I notice you have StreamFX
Is it the latest OBS version you are using?
Yes, the latest
Have you ever had this issue that you installed it but it isnt showing up next to tools and help?
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
if you have an issue, describe it, don't ping other people
no, I did not
- Old Version (27.2.4)
- Mismatched Sample Rates
- Capture Interference
- Multiple Game Capture
- Windows 10 21H2 (OK)
- Not Admin
- No Output Session
Intel Core i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz - OK! / GeForce GTX 1650 - OK!
I am aware it's 27.2.4 & I have ran OBS as admin already and it still occurs
0.12 alpha only works with obs 28+
so either install 0.11 version of streamfx or update to v28 of obs
Alright ill give it a go and update it and hope nothing breaks, main reason why I didnt wanna upgrade to v28
Hi guys, I have small issue with my SE.live stream element plug in in OBS, the chat box is not stable and not working it’s flickering!!! Did anyone had this issue and figure out how to fix it? Thanks
Here is an example
Is Advanced scene swither macro only doing command for one time or it iterates every time condition is true?
Due to a number of incompatibilities with OBS 27.2 and newer, we are no longer able to provide support for instances of OBS with the StreamElements plugin (SE.live) installed.
If you need help with StreamElements products or services, please join their Discord server or submit a support ticket as we cannot provide further assistance here.
every time condition is true, but you can do some wizardry to make it happen only one time if you want
I dont want
Seriously 😒
I just want of it to restart input when video stops for 10 or more sec
But it doesnt work
Only one tume
Time*
I dont know what is the problem
if you have issues with streamelement stuff, go ask streamelements
Hey guys im new. Do you know where I can find news on the NDI plugin in OBS 28?
it's currently in the works. In the meantime, you can either revert to 27.2.4 or use the pre-release version that's compatible, but it is unsupported https://github.com/dev47apps/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.9.2
I don't understand, what are you trying to do exactly
Hi are you one of the moderators!
no
I asked about a plug-in in OBS so I was trying my luck if someone might now anything about this issue
yes and as the bot told you, if you have issues with streamelements stuff, go ask streamelements
My ip camera stream goes through obs via vlc media source (media source rtsp link doesnt work). Sometimes stream freezes and obs doesnt restart it but only one frame continue streaming. I install advanced scene switcher to fix it, but it doesnt work.
I don’t know what’s your problem?
ok, show me the macro you made?
I don't have one?
@quasi elk that dock you are having an issue with is made/maintained by stream elements. You'd get better answers asking them directly, which the info from the bot has a link to their server to do so
Im not near my comp now but syntax is:
If video -my source- hasnt change for exactly 10s restart source
show me
I did Marty thank you
(when you can)
👍
Do you feel like people are being rude or unhelpful? I really think they just want to guide you to the people that would know best, which would be the people over at streamElements 🙂
oh, im slow 😦
Just a tad hahaha
I just blocked that guy answering me in an aggressive way
Ok
It works perfectly for now. Thank you
I think this space is for discussion and benefiting each other
(sometimes directness is just efficient but can be taken as rude. I don't think there was any ill will)
I see. I dont think they meant to be aggressive, they are just very straight forward and cordial 😅
👍
No problem at all, I read the bot instructions and followed them as well
But no harm from asking the community someone might had the same experience!
and in your case, you aren't going to recieve meaningful help here, which is why I told you to go to the place you could actually get some, i.e., the streamelements server
No harm in asking as you picked the correct channel amd provided a very easy to understand summary of issue.
Like to other post I loaded "Move transition 2.7.0" and I do not see the feature in the Filters for OBS Objects. Un like others I am running on a Mac Monterey OS Intel processor. After running the installer and rebooting I pull up the logs and do not see Move transition listed and don't know where to look for the move-transition.dll on the computer. Is there an install step other than running the DMG? Any assistance is welcomed
Here are my logs
- macOS 12.6 (OK)
- No Output Session
Intel Core i7-9750H @ 2.60GHz - OK! / Radeon Pro 560X - OK!
doesn't show OBS trying to load the plugin which likely means you installed it to the wrong folder
If I just ran the DMG exicutibal and was never asked where to load how do I fix? New to OBS and Loading add ons.
where did you get that executible from?
this does not have a .dmg
When you click on the Download button the first option is for MAC os. I selected that one
ok, and what did you do with that file?
That file has 3 Extracted the files (and sorry not DMG but PKG file) I loaded the Universal file and tested. When that did not work I loaded the x86 That did not work. that is when I reached out.
as far as I can see, you're on a 64-bit computer, so you'd need the arm64 one
I get no love form Arm64
you need x86_64 or universal
does the 64 package just not work?
or am I misunderstanding what arch they are on?
i think you do
they're on Intel (x86_64), arm64 would be Apple Silicon (M1x / M2)
oh ouki, yee mb am doombass
SO I tried both the Universal and x84 before reaching out. here. Is the an install step or did I miss the install doc telling you how to load this?
My own3d is not working
you'll probably have better help asking own3d directly
I used the pkg installer for x86_64 on Monterey and it worked fine. Did you restart OBS after installing?
Timboxy, I did, after reaching out and having no luck on my work Mac, I tried on my Persoanl Mac, Starting with the x84 first. That worked. As for My work MAC I do not know if trying the universal first then the x84 is the root of my issues or overly security minded work MAC admins are locking me out.
if you're not admin on the mac it's very likely that's what making it fail
No I'm an Admin, it's not that.
I came here to ask this question about NDI, is there a guide on how to use this version?
it's the exact same as the previous one
I setup the old one so long ago :/ do I need to update both computers to the most recent OBS version then download that NDI plugin on both computers?
idk, may work with mismatched version, not sure
ok, thank you for the info!
is this a good channel to get help with OBS & NDI?
How do I revert my obs to 27.2.4?
Thank you!
what's your issue?
sooooooooooooo i downloaded the new update and couldnt use my ndi, so i downloaded 27.2.4 so that i could still use it till they make it compatible and now my stream deck doesnt work. any thoughts? in the stream deck app says waiting for obs
Hey guys basic question, which websocket version does obs 28 use? Im trying to use OBS Tools (BarRaider) for my Streamdeck, but cant use ist because of my websocket version
depending to the plugin it have to be 4.9
for streamdeck, just update the streamdeck app
For NDI there is a compatible pre-release version https://github.com/dev47apps/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.9.2
builtin is 5.0 you can install 4.9-compat
thank you very much
@fossil wyvern its up do date and i dont need it for ndi. none of my icons used for obs work says waiting on obs
then ask elgato
this is elgato's software failing to comminicate with elgato's plugin for OBS
yes, the streamdeck plugin that allows the streamdeck software to communicate with OBS
@fossil wyvern got the link by chance?
link to what?
I downloaded the obs-ndi pre-release version but am getting an error when I try to open obs now
Please provide the full text of the error message. Press Alt+PrtScr while the error window is selected to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it into this chat window.
I just did it on the other pc without issue, im not sure why this pc is having a problem with it
looks like you don't have the ndi runtime installed on this computer
is it NewTek?
what?
the NDI runtime software from the link, it says "NewTek"
Yes, NDI is made by NewTek. You need to install their runtime. Make sure it's the same version as the one required by your plugin.
Thank you!
ok, I think I got it working. I had to go through my program files & delete all the previous NDI files because for some reason it didnt want to just replace them & I must have deleted the installer! I appreciate all the help @fossil wyvern & @mortal harbor
👍
Glad it works :D NDI is always a bit of a tinkering game, especially with pre release versions of plugins.
that "pre-release" is actually just the exact same as the 27 stable version, just recompiled to link against qt6
so it's not supported, but it doesn't have anything "experimental"
NDI is a genius tool for dual PC streaming and once it's setup it works like magic but man what a pain in the butt to troubleshoot software lol
Depending on what you use it for you could also check out SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) Streaming. It might be easier if you just want to get a single feed (video & audio) from another PC, since it does not require plugins or runtimes to be installed. (SRT requires OBS Studio 25.0 or newer.)
I'm team if its not broke, don't fix it. I'm just as likely to break everything than simplify my dual pc streaming setup tbh it's also technically a triple pc setup. I have a streaming pc, a gaming pc & a kitchen pc for cooking streams. I use a capture card for gaming streams & NDI for cooking streams.
I’ll always recommend a capture card over a wireless system like this personally.
I use a capture card for the gaming pc but theres no way to use one for the pc downstairs in my kitchen unfortunately. Im much better at hardware than software so I tend to agree with you lol
@gaunt zealot thank you got it fixed turns out it was a obs thing
redownloaded the 64 bit and started working
True, as soon a the network enters the frame, complexity goes up by magnitudes. @mortal harbor
Teleport, SRT, NDI are all options with OBS, plus other stuff from things like PTZ cameras. Just watch for things like wireless retransmits. Might even want you own 5ghz network on its own frequency just for the local link. Just be aware a 1080p60 NDI feed is like 150 Mbps
WiFiman app on from Ubiquiti for Android/iOS is you friend for wireless site surveys
Wireless is also half duplex, so keep that in mind. You'll need double the link speed you think you need
i can get ndi to connect in standalone mode - so on one machine I can see the test pattern that is launched in the "test patterns" app but i cant get these same machines to see each other in OBS - i reverted back to obs 27.2.4 and reinstalled the obs-ndi plugin 4.9.1 should I delete the newtek 5 tools app?
ok, that's beyond what I know about NDI sorry, you'll have to way for someone more knowledgeable
I think I had ndi tools 5 installed while using 4.9 on v27
does anyone have obs working with ndi?
guys anyone knows about multi rtmp update file
Are you sure the firewall does not by accident block obs? NDI version should not matter. I can stream from windows NDI 4.5.1 (installed by plugin installer) on obs 27.2.4 to NDI version 5.5 on obs 27 on mac
Also testet from v5.5 to 4.5.1
im not sure what the issue is - ive just uninstalled v5 v4 & the plugins from both machines and going to try to start over without installing v5 this time
firewall is just standard windows
it shouldnt be blocking me from anything within my own network
i can only tell you, that the setup you had should work.
can you tell me how yu configure the setting in obs
i must be doing it wriong
this is the machine Im trying to send to my streaming box
this is the streaming machine that shows nothing coming from the main box
@mortal harbor
They are both on the same network?
yes same network i only have one
ethernet
same modem/switch
do you have to connect something using the ndi tools?
why do i have no sources in my list?
it should "just work" according to NDI
it doesnt
obs to obs?
The obs64.exe process on both PCs needs to have local LAN access. By default the Windows firewall will only give public internet access to OBS. If you didn't check that second box for local access when you first started OBS, NDI won't work. You'll have to fix the firewall rules afterwards.
Still no luck with OBS-NDI plug-in yet it sounds like.
Outside of some syncing issues, NDI has been fine for me. Video np.
its showing this now
but this is my laptop
the other machine is a desktop
i changed the firewall rules for the public network to allow
i dont find obs64.exe listed by the firefwall settings
probably not unless it has some instructions
Instructions:
Put the plugin's .dll in the plugin folder on both PCs OBS.
Sending PC: Tools => Teleport => set a name. check Teleport Enabled
Receiving PC: Right click => Add source => Teleport. Select the name you set.
It almost doesn't get simpler than Teleport 🙂
idk why but when I installed teleport it made ndi show all my sources so they both work now
but im legit sending audio from ableton on the production machine across the network to my laptop that is streaming obs to twitch now
very cool
ty guys for yr help
and you've actually hit "start" on the general tab for the plugin?
Yes
Does anyone know why the instant replay just stops working, I reinstall it and works a few times and then just stops?
@tepid topaz
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
Maybe a silly question, new to OBS, long time vMix user. Is NDI 5 supported in OBS?
Hi Boys, please which video format is best for CPU usage? When I start a scene starting the CPU usage goes up (looping video) thx for help.
Curious what video formats are the most performant in OBS?
Check out EposVox's in-depth analysis!
there is a plugin called obs-ndi which works with both NDI 4.5 and 5. However it is currently being updated for V28 so you will either need to use a pre-release version of it or V27 of OBS
A question about VLC plugin
I added a folder with videos to play (specified directory), which contains only .mp4 files, but sometimes I can see some weird stuff in the playlist, which I never added before and which are not in that folder, like on this screenshot:
The .url thingy is located on Drive D:/
And each time I have to delete them manually
trying to figure out how to send video over ndi using the ndi plugin - audio sends via an ndi audio source but I dont see a way to capture screen or video source to send over ndi
Tools > NDI
that will send both video and audio
You should also be able to send video only with a filter:
Hello, is there an option in OBS to fine tune what layers it’s capturing in Game Capture? I’m running a game with a lot of plugins/modifications and previously it was able to reliably capture the base game only, but now it captures more than the base game and not sure if there’s something that can choose beyond “hide all third party overlays”
Beyond the options you see in the game capture properties window, no.
Hello. I want to record casts/letsplays with my friend and automatic switch screen and game's sound when someone speaking. We want to do it using the internet. How to do it using OBS?
where do I tell it what video to send from the sending computer?
you don't, it sends the either the output or preview feed
oh so whatever I see in obs I should see on the laptop?
yes
!sceneswitcher will help you
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/
as for getting the audio/video of your friend, you could use vdo.ninja
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Variables#example-podcast
here's a sample guide for switching automatically based on audio
if there's something you don't understand about setting up scene switcher, feel free to ask here. some people would probably be willing to help
Hi! Hope everyone is having a good day so far! I installed OBS 28 but because of some encoding issue I wasnt able to use it so I was forced to go back to OBS 27.2.4 once I did that I noticed I didnt have the websocket plugin option no more in the tools to connect OBS to MixItUp bot or to the StreamDeck, I checked the website and I believe I downloaded the proper files and followed the step properly but Im still not able to use the websocket again, can someone assist me with that please, thank you in advance!
27.x.x doesn't come with Websocket. You have to install 4.9 as a plugin separately.
Only v28 has built-in WS 5.0
Define "encoding issue". That's very likely fixable on v28...
More of a #windows-support thing though.
i have a pretty old setup my graphics card is a geforce gt 750m i use a laptop and with obs 28 i only get the options to use x264 and nvec new or something like that i dont exactly remember atm but when i run x264 cpu performance goes up super high and when i try the other option it says i have a driver issue or something which dont happen in obs 27 with this option
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
but as i said before i followed the steps that are posted in the obs website i copied the files on the folders they r supposed to go and im still not able to get the websocket plugin going
i know but as i stated previously i cant run obs28
send a log
- Old Version (27.2.4)
- Mismatched Sample Rates
- Windows 10 21H2 (OK)
- No Output Session
Intel Core i7-4850HQ @ 2.30GHz - Possible bottleneck / GeForce GT 750M - Possible bottleneck
you installed the version for OBS 28
rip, makes sense i guess, is it possible to find the version for obs 27 still?
grab either the 4.9-compat or the 5.0.1 from this, depending on which you need
OBS v28 includes obs-websocket v5, but if you need 4.x you can download the COMPAT plugin for v28.
v27 doesnt include a websocket plugin at all, but you can download both the v4.9 plugin (non-compat), and a v5 plugin as linked above by Pen
but thats weird cause im pretty sure the one i used is the obs-websocket-4.9.1-compat-Windows.zip

It's also time to look for a new streaming PC here considering that your last driver update from Nvidia on that GeForce GT 750M was 425.31 from 2019, which technically wasn't even supported in OBS 27.2.x due to Nvidia Video SDK updates. Something with a Nvidia GTX 900-series or newer would be strongly recommended at this point.
Yes, thats for v28. Notice the “compat” in the filename?
Compat = compatibility
yeah i know but its not that cheap where i live unfortunately
So its a 4.9.1 compatibility plugin so old websocket can still work, just in case apps dont get updated to v5 right away
no rob, V27 also uses 4.9.1-compat
i see your original post mentioned an "encoding issue" preventing you from using v28. i'd strongly recommend troubleshooting that instead of dealing with all this weird confusing backwards compatibility stuff that will only continue to cause issues/confusion as time goes on.
EDIT: nevermind, reading some more of your posts it seems like your GPU might just be too old and not receive updates anymore.
thank you for the help
just a different one, compiled with QT5
Ah, okay then, the name confused me.
The names should really be different
"compat" just means "we keep supporting it even though 5.0 is out, for compatibility reasons"
yeah it says int he importat notes: Only use this release with OBS Studio v27! Do not install this if you are using an OBS version other than v27
eh, it's the same plugin, just compiled with different QT
There is a standalone v5 for OBS 27, v5 is included in OBS 28.
And a compat 4.9 version for each Qt versions. Qt5 for OBS 27 and Qt6 for OBS28.
I get that now, I didn’t realize with 27 and 28 that they were both called “compat”. I took that naming to mean some sort of legacy compatibility while v5 was still being transitioned to
So with that, it would have made sense for v5 for v27 to be called v5-compat
But thats neither here nor there, today I learned 🙂
i'm on mac 12.5.1 monterey with an M1 chip, using OBS 28.0.3
I tried installing a plugin for OBS, but i have no idea where it went
it's not in the Plugins folder in the OBS app contents, and it just isn't on my computer, but it says the installation was successful...
any ideas?
For reference, this is the plugin i tried to install: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/waveform.1423/
got it from their github, installed Waveform_v1.5.0-rc1_MacOS_x86_64.pkg
this is the error that i get but the option that im sellecting for the encoder is the exact same as the one i use on obs 27 but it doesnt say new on obs 28 and evidently is cause of how old is the setup as i stated in the very first message i posted i can run it on x264 but again goes super super high so im gonna have to see if i can solve the plugin issue or just leave it as it is until i can upgrade to a new computer
Waveform_v1.5.0_MacOS_arm64.pkg would be the one for a mac with an M1 chip.
yeah, just update your drivers
GT 750m
:p
oh mb
oh that's what i got, my bad
copied the wrong one
Waveform_v1.5.0_MacOS_arm64.pkg
yeah there is no fix for that. your GPU is no longer supported @mortal harbor
believe me i tried all i could already 
- macOS 12.5 (OK)
- No Output Session
Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz - OK! / Apple Apple M1 Pro (not in benchmark DB)
just started it up tho
yeah seems like it's loading fine in that log.
yup
its just sad cause it used to work all fine before i tried updating to obs28 😦
but i really appreciate you all trying to help!
❤️
the problem stems from NVIDIA no longer providing new drivers.
so where do i find the plugin? i'm still confused
i've never used waveform. is it a source? filter?
in the "tools" bar of obs, presumably?
looked at it, apparently it's a source
so you click + in the source list and add a new waveform source
oh my god it's right fucking there
alright apparently i just had to restart obs again
thank you both lol
yeah you have to restart after installing plugins
Why is it on MacOs some plugins end up in "/Library/Application Support/...." and some in "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/..."?
user vs global install I'd guess
Yes, but its not provided as an option at install time AFAIK and some plugins seem to change location on version.
I'm having issues getting NDI to show up under Tools. I have installed/uninstalled/reinstalled several times OBS 27 and NDI 4.9. I have verified the ndi plugin files i the plugin dir in OBS.
I had this problem before, and I can't for the life of me remember how I fixed it. And my previous google searches aren't showing the fix
Is there some setting in OBS I need to enable or something?
this is a fresh windows install. This is literally the 2nd and 3rd thing I've installed on it
i didn't install OBS 28 because NDI is still be worked on according to the plugin status page
apparently something got borked on the first installation. Not sure what
I had to install NDI Tools from ndi.tv site. Was able to install that, OBS shows the option. Uninstalled the Tools and reinstalled the Runtime library, and the NDI plugin is still available.
not sure what happened
🤔
Man I'm having the same issue here. Which version of obs supports ndi plugin at the latest?
Should work fine in OBS 27.x or older. The key to maximizing plugin compatibility is avoiding updating OBS when a new version comes out until manually and individually confirming that every single plugin being used (including 3rd parties like Elgato) are confirmed to work with the new release first before updating.
Oh I will have to look for v27 then. Thank you very much!
When a new version of OBS comes out, some plugins may or may not work depending on if and how the ABI may have changed. It might be a case of someone having to just rebuild a plugin and release it for it to work with new OBS, or it might require actual code changes to adapt to a new API.
But 3rd party plugin developers do not all monitor OBS development daily and plan to release new compatible plugins on day 1. I'd go as far as saying that many plugins are developed, released and the developer doesn't follow OBS development at all and wont know their plugin doesn't work until someone tells them or they update OBS and find out themselves. So it's generally a very bad idea to update OBS if you use plugins at all, until confirming that all of your plugins are compatible with the new OBS or have compatible updates, and that the updates are not "experimental/alpha" which could destabilize production setups.
NDI works with OBS 26.1.1 and 27.2.4 for me.
Okay that makes sense. I do hope the plugin developers release a new version of ndi
Any plugins or filters for video noise/grain reduction? Using a Canon m50 via hdmi
Work around for Droidcam OBS Pro?
obs ninja imo but I don't know whether the quality is as good, it's pretty neat if you ask me
was using obs 27 and ndi 4.9. Not sure what the issue was
i was able to get it working by installing the ndi tools from ndi.tv. Have no idea what happened why it wouldn't work
Hello OBS,
I see some streamers use OBS but their filter make that stream to be so smooth and not glitchy.
Can you suggest me anything about that ?
@zealous moss @pulsar hawk When I switched back to OBS 27 I had to remove and then re-add my NDI sources and then they worked again.
this was a fresh install, so that wasn't the issue 😉
i mean, OBS was literally 2nd program I installed
and ndi was the 3rd
the 1st was firefox
I am having to reset up my streaming rig (had a drive failure). so this was the new install
Hello guys i have a small problem with lower thirds plugin dont know why with some files the image just doesn´t appear in the overlay but appear in the preview, anyone know why that happen?
as you can see the logo doesn´t show up, checked file and multiple format, size and everything and still doesn´t work while works other files
Hey all, i just set up my Tuna Plugin yesterday to work with spotify. So the Cover Art works but the text that i want to show just reads as artist title album. I followed a detailed set up video to the T but the text part isnt putting in the song info. Does anyone have anny ideas as to why this would be
is source mirror still a thing
Yes with the streamfx plugin
is there a plug-in that will let me display current track or id3 tag info from music being played in foobar2000?
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/tuna.843/
There's this that does equivalent things for a lot of ways to play songs, idk if it'll work for yours
doesn't list foobar2000 but that might be because it's isn't opensource... does list VLC which i think i can make work. thank you!
👍
Are there separate downloads of 4.9.1-compat for Qt5 & Qt6? I only see the one 4.9.1-compat installer. I ask because after upgrading to OBS 28, and running
obs-websocket-4.9.1-compat-Windows-Installer.exe, I get an error saying the obs-websocket-compat failed to load.
here's the right one for 28
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/releases/tag/4.9.1-compat
Thanks. I was just going off of the one linked from the ws-5.0.1 page, thinking that the note about being only for OBS 27 only referred to the 5.0 plugin.
nope, that one is QT5, so genuinely for obs 27 only
hi!
I'm wondering if, with Exeldro's move plugin, it's possible to move a source in 4pixel increments instead of 1... I know this is weird and unsupported, but maybe it's a quick edit I could do on my end.
Just a hopeful thought here as I'm working with pixel art and I am currently doing a single 10ms move source filter per each single 4pixel movement!
is there a test version out to use yet ?
thank youuu
So with spotify playing and ive done all the linking, even went as far as getting a client id and and client secret
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or what i have possibly done wrong because im not getting any song info but the cover art changes as it should and gets the correct cover art
fix what?
sorry i was vague lol the song info wont display but the cover art changes with the songs
it's {title} not Title
Title tells tuna to just display "Title", literally, which is what it's doing in your case
{title} tells it to replace that token with the song title
Oh so it needs the brackets around whatever word i pick
I wanted to see what the other things did and looked like, would i just apply the same thing?
yup, {duration} if you want it to show the duration
man i feel dumb, it was such an easy fix but none of the tutorials i looked at were of the most updated version
most video tutorials are usually wrong or outdated
or {formated songjson}
i realize this now lol
no, {json_formatted}
Thank you so much, i figured it was something small!
👍
so for each instance say i want song and album would the each be in their own brackets
yeah, for example : {title} : {album}
basically, a variable between brackets will be replaced by the value of the variable
no you don't need to, you can put a space if you want a space between them or the word "elephant" if you want the word "elephant" to be inbetween the two
okay
i've been looking for tuna info... thanks
I just finished setting it up if you have any questions! @winged canopy
someone know a plugin to put delay in a window capture? like 5 seconds delay
no need for a plugin filters > render delay
is not limited in 500 ms?
it is, for important reasons
if you have to delay more that 500ms, you need to change something about your flow
I'm a monkey with a wrench, but you can add more than one
I'm thinking they want to not show stream some content until they've been allowed to see it - so there's time to hide it before it hits stream.
@dark sapphire would that be problematic?
it stores uncompressed frames in VRAM. which can get huge
oh, fair
I understand that a migration guide from websocket-4.9 to 5.0 is being developed. In the meantime, is there specific guidance for:
- Listing the sources that have an audio mixer (currently done in 4.9 with GetSourceTypesList where hasAudio=true + GetSourcesList)
- Getting the volume of a source (currently GetVolume)
- Setting the volume of a source (currently SetVoume)
Thanks
so, dont exist a plugin to put a huge delay?
If you can't find it on https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/blob/master/docs/generated/protocol.md I'd probably try and post in the #support on websockets Discord. Might have more luck in specifics. You can find their discord at the bottom here:

Does someone knows how to setup gstream plugin on obs. I found that it could help me unfreeze stream.
@mortal harbor https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/audio-monitor.1186/history download to the right and choose respective zip
Usually you'd click the download button for latest.
However since you want an older one that's where it'd be.
Hello there!! I really need some help, I streamed last night and when I ended my stream it says 1:15:15 BUT when I play it I only get 1:15:08?!?!? Does anyone know how to fix this?
hey there, is a there a guide how to develop a plugin on windows platform? (as example implementing libobs into vs code or vs studio), loaded the plugintemplate but the guide is kinda patchy
I'm working through the same problem hagorath.
I started with the plugin template, I'm trying to duplicate an effect and build up from there.
To get started with OBS development, read this guide.
On MacOS is it safe to just delete the relevant folder in /Library/Application Support/.... to remove an unwanted plug in? I have OBS complaining about 2 versions of the Move Transition plugin.
hm mkay, because i was able to build obs studio easly with the included scripts but my template does not find libobs (which is clear for that it does not work, but i don't know any further steps)
I assume you've installed cmake?
I'm using cmake-gui cus idk what I'm doing with that, but this setup seems to work for me. At least for building/compiling/intellisense
do you use code or studio (or something else?)
studio
is the template in the obs-studio dir?
these directories refer to my template.
yeah once you've built obs, point libobs_DIR at the build/libobs directory
thanks, o,O have to look it up on this way, the gui seems to make it easier for non cmake-gods
it might be sufficient to export that as a environment variable, but this cut down a lot of hassle
true, but i guess, i have to do something else first, cmake isn't happy how my visual studio is installed (but i wanted to install everything clean anyway on a new ssd)
ok, let me know how you get on.
Maybe we can figure these things out together
Anyone using gstreamer plugin also experiencing a small hick every second?
Since upgrade to v28
hiya fella i just started streaming like this month and had an extra tower laying around and am trying to setup ndi and it worked when i had them directly connected but the network too slow on my streaming pc so i got an ethernet splitter and now the ndi won't show anything from the source even though it still picks it up when adding it
any ideas?
What kind of ethernet splitter?
Deciding by the name itself it's already asking for troubles 😄
Hello!
I’ve updated my mac to the latest update using Monterey, I downloaded the latest OBS for Mac users (Apple silicon). I have last year MacBook Pro with. M1 chip. I didn’t have problems streaming on OBS two months ago. But now I’m dropping frames all the time and my bitrate is fluctuating from green to red and my streams keep crashing.
What are some good settings to use so this STOPS. My internet download is 950mbps and upload is around 40mbps.
Please help!
If your stream is disconnecting or OBS Studio reports dropped frames, follow our Stream Connection Troubleshooting guide for details on how to reduce these issues.
You should also be asking over in #macos-support
how do i delete a plugin?
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
is there a source record plugin thats compatible with the latest version of OBS?
Source Record should work
i remembering reading somewhere that the plugin breaks, havent been able to find something showing otherwise unfortunately
Oh, that breaking isn't limited to v28.
It breaks same way on v27 as it does 28.
It should still have the same functionality and 'work' as it has so far.
I have frozen stream problem. I want to restart my vlc media source everytime stream stops and 1 frame stays. I searched around internet and find out that GStreamer can be solution but i dont know how to install and configure it. Could anyone help me?
Is there a different way to use your phone as a camera while NDI is being updated for OBS 28?
Droidcam (free or paid) is a good alternative. I use it on a phone via wifi in my home network. VDO.ninja is a browser based alternative and free to use.
there's a third party (fourth party?) build of obs-ndi that works with 28 https://github.com/dev47apps/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.9.2
oh for real? Well I'm trying droidcam right now. If I don't like it more than NDI I
I'll check it out
thanks for all the tips!
what's your question?
