Beautiful. I was installing 1.8.4 but couldn't remember which version I had prior to updating OBS Studio. Thank you!

#

Only way to do that is with custom plugin or script using OpenCV or alternatives, nothing out of the box.

Hello! I am trying to locate the OBS Websocket Server Settings but it is not where all the tutorials have mentioned it. How do I locate it?

I believe mixitup has updated their thing to be used with obs28+

#

At least it was yesterday when I installed it

#

Would have to install WS 5(if there's an obs 27 install available)

marsh laurel
#

That is good to know, I will do the update and see if that resolves the issue, thank you to you both

Actually, can the new Iphones technically run android apps? Can't M1 laptops run android apps? Isn't the M1 CPU very similiar to Iphone CPU?

#

Now whether they have deployed that feature, I don't know.

#

M1 laptops can run android apps.
They can't, not natively at least. You need an emulator.

#

they can natively run iOS apps

#

not android

gentle granite
#

I am talking about running an emulator on iphone if sofware was available.

#

Same way M1 laptops run it.

dark sapphire
#

but your original request was not to run an emulator

#

we're talking 1:1 comparison

gentle granite
#

I just said run. I didn't specify how.

dark sapphire
#

run != emulate

wary escarp
#

M1 laptops can run android apps. I wonder if the phones could if Apple just released software for it.
as a note here, Apple doesn't make Android emulators for macOS.

gentle granite
#

It is slower but if you can get all the features working then you can get all the features working. In a good emulation, run = emulate .

dark sapphire
#

but you don't get all the features

gentle granite
gentle granite
dark sapphire
#

emulation fakes the features that the app depends on

wary escarp
#

i tried.

#

other emulators (Bluestacks, Nox) don't run at all

gentle granite
wary escarp
#

yes.

#

actually, let me double-check

#

yes

gentle granite
#

It seems to say compatibility is based on how well a game can work with OpenGL version provided

#

Also, overhead is going to cause low frame rate in high end games.

wary escarp
gentle granite
#

Running well is application specific. It will always be that way for emulators.

wary escarp
#

which is why you can't generalize that android apps run well on M1 (which is what was stated in the beginning), even ignoring the fact that one has to install an IDE to get it to work in the first place

Hey guys, I'm late to the party, but I updated OBS today from v27 > v28 and I'm struggling getting the websocket to work.

I downloaded websocket 5, and I keep getting the error that it fails to load and there is nothing in the tools section.
If I delete this and install 4.9. It appears to work, but how do I get 5 to work?

I've read that websockets are auto built into the new OBS, but cant seem to find that, if thats true of course

does anyone know if there is a plugin which can be controlled by streamdeck to show/bring an alert/animation up on screen for about 3 seconds? -

vale vine
#

Can't you do a multi action with streamdeck to show source, wait 3 seconds, hide source?

#

Also, attempting to ping 200,000+ people is not usually a good idea

Thanks for the help

hi, is there a plugin in OBS studio that would enable the 'recording' (red dot) to be visible while in-game?

quiet bramble
harsh topaz
#

Trueee

vale vine
#

ASS

fossil wyvern
#

can't you also just do that with the streamdeck itself?

quiet bramble
#

In another 5 years, Discord will have "see as they type" feature, and people will be typing "Is there a plugin that..." and someone will hit a button on their Streamdeck and say "Advanced Scene Switcher" ๐Ÿ™‚

mortal harbor
#

yes this can be done without any plugin.

vale vine
#

you can and I spelled out how

"is there a plugin that can make coffee for me while I stream improve my game performance and pleasure my partner better than I ever could"
"yeah so, it has 'scene switcher' in the name, but nowadays it doesn't just do scenes"

harsh topaz
#

Im still waiting for WarmUpTill to improve variable functionality in adv-ss

fossil wyvern
harsh topaz
#

It'd be so lit to be able to pull info from my docks through WS and change path variables to various browser sources on the fly

mortal harbor
#

i assume you've already requested this?

fossil wyvern
#

I mean variables in of themselves are still pretty recent

harsh topaz
#

I've hinted at it. But the current status of variables is like early implementation to see if the foundation works.

quiet bramble
#

That sounds like something I can not do with a pixel shader, sorry Lindenkron ๐Ÿ˜›

harsh topaz
quiet bramble
#

yet!

harsh topaz
#

It's lacking 2 things as it stands.

#

A way to have adv-ss recognize something as variable in settings text.

And a way to set a websocket response as a variable.

vale vine
#

why would a portable install on a seperate drive check for plugins in %programdata%

harsh topaz
#

Tbh, idk how portable and SCs even work

#

I swear; when I download and make the portable - it picks all my SCs from default install

#

But when I change something on the portable install, it doesnt change on the installed version

#

How does that even work lol

mortal harbor
vale vine
#

I had to yeet multi rtmp from program data for my 28 portable to stop telling me it was the wrong version

#

so of course now I dont have the needed version for 27

mortal harbor
#

this is why plugins aren't necessarily meant to be installed there.

vale vine
#

Guess I could try plopping into the other location and see if it works

#

ok that actually worked like a charm

#

first time around I allowed multi rtmp to install to default path. guess thats not ideal

harsh topaz
#

Any reason for install and not just plopping it into the folder of the portable?

mortal harbor
#

i'm sure there's a technical reason a plugin developer would want to install to programdata and i'm sure there's a technical reason the OBS team would not want plugin developers to use that directory. i just don't know either.

quiet bramble
obsidian agate
#

Or are you using the shortcut/BAT file launch option โ€”portable ?

harsh topaz
#

A, what?

#

No and Nein.

obsidian agate
#

Does OBS say โ€œportable modeโ€ in the window bar?

quiet bramble
#

that's likely why

obsidian agate
#

If not, you arent in Portable Mode

harsh topaz
#

Also, no. It's just a folder of its own on the desktop.

#

no installation, just unzipped.

quiet bramble
#

After unzipping the zip file you have to create portable_mode.txt in the directory

obsidian agate
quiet bramble
harsh topaz
#

Interesting. Guess I'll take a look at some point.

obsidian agate
#

I just used a BAT file and have --portable as a launch option

# 
start "it's obs" /d "%~dp0bin\64bit" obs64.exe  --multi --portable --remote-debugging-port=12345

thats my BAT file. it launches from the top level of the Portable Install folder, but will always be relative to its location, so I can duplicate the whole folder and the new BAT file will point to the right binary

harsh topaz
#

What is "it's obs"

obsidian agate
#

its OBS ๐Ÿ˜„

harsh topaz
#

But why this syntax. What is it for.

quiet bramble
#

When portable mode is enabled, the installation uses its own private settings/profiles/scene collections all as subdirectories of the install:

unknown.png
fossil wyvern
vale vine
#

still checks program data folder

unknown.png
harsh topaz
vale vine
#

i just put it where all my other plugins are so now i have v27 compatible and v28 compatible where they need to be

obsidian agate
#

https://ss64.com/nt/start.html

Syntax
      START "title" [/D path] [options] "command" [parameters]

Key:
   title       Text for the CMD window title bar (required.)
quiet bramble
#

With the portable_mode.txt file it ensures that installation always starts in portable mode. You can use the commandline option instead, but if you ever invoke the binary without portable mode it will load up as the system OBS which could possibly hose the configuration if it is an experimental build and has something wrong with it.

#

IMHO, using the text file is more robust.

vale vine
#

and I'm using the .txt method

fossil wyvern
harsh topaz
#

Does it serve a purpose.

obsidian agate
#

yep, no rhyme or reason

harsh topaz
#

That's why I was confused lol.

obsidian agate
#

and the "%~dp0bin\64bit" part

harsh topaz
obsidian agate
#

%~dp0 apparently is the syntax for making a relative path

#

and windows shortcuts dont do relative paths

harsh topaz
#

But, it was probably also a folder structure that was made like 10 years ago - before further logic went into it.

obsidian agate
#

Batch files, however, do

harsh topaz
#

And now it's so ingrained, that changing it is a major overhaul.

vale vine
#

especially when one of those plugins doesnt provide a zip

harsh topaz
#

StreamFX pain

vale vine
#

yea

fossil wyvern
harsh topaz
#

Always has to be special that StreamFX

obsidian agate
quiet bramble
#

I agree, I think 3rd party plugins installed by the user or some other software should be isolated in their own directory.

vale vine
#

I get why there is no longer a zip, but then dont install to a weird default

mortal harbor
#

!streamfx you should voice that opinion! ๐Ÿ™‚

oblique yewBOT
#

If you are looking for more information or support for the StreamFX plugin, please visit the forum resource page.

vale vine
#

f that

quiet bramble
#

Possibly moving the plugins that ship with OBS to a builtins directory

vale vine
#

he dont listen

harsh topaz
#

From my experience, the StreamFX dev isn't super interested in peoples opinion.

#

I understand the amount of "why isnt it working" made it seem easier to just get rid of the zip.

#

But it just causes a lot of headache for other people unfortunately.

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

fossil wyvern
vale vine
harsh topaz
#

The .exe isn't even a surefire way to get it to work. I've had to uninstall and install a few times to get things right myself.

vale vine
#

i moved old multi rtmp to program files folder of obs plugins, and boom, no conflict with v28 portable

fossil wyvern
# vale vine yes. for some bizarre reason ha

yeah, in this case imo the problem is with the portable install using plugins outside of its folder, not with the install method of programdata, but eh, not a dev so might be wrong

harsh topaz
#

A separate folder within OBS directory where you just dump in a "Streamfx" folder, and it picks things from there - would've been the proper way of handling it.

lament leaf
#

I was looking into downloading StreamFX just for the equalizer, but now I don't think I want too lol.

quiet bramble
#

There is still a zip file if one knows where to look for it, but it isn't advertised. The idea being that people who can fend for themselves can still find it, but it eliminates a lot of tech support burden to not have it easily downloadable and pointed to by horrid YouTube tutorials.

vale vine
#

I downloaded the installer then went probing the files myself

harsh topaz
#

I've never heard of anyone in World of Warcraft that failed to install an addon. Literally just drop the zip folder in the addon folder kekW

vale vine
#

nah bruh. lots of people duck up plugin zips

#

LOTS

harsh topaz
#

I've never experienced anyone fuck it up.

quiet bramble
#

Yup

mortal harbor
harsh topaz
#

Like, I can understand why its confusing to have different folders

#

And different files

#

Go in different places.

#

And then you can't see if you put them in, because it's .dlls mixed with default dll

#

So you think you put them in.

#

But you're not sure.

#

That's OBS atm.

vale vine
#

back when i was in streamfx server, it was usually multiple people a day having an issue

mortal harbor
#

don't mistake your own abilities with everyone elses Lindenkron

quiet bramble
#

I've observed endless people right here in this channel and on the StreamFX discord formerly who downloaded the zip file (and not just of StreamFX, but any plugins in zip files) and then promptly copy some or all of the files into the amazingly wrong place and have no idea what they're doing.

harsh topaz
harsh topaz
quiet bramble
#

I can't even count the number of people I've personally helped try to rectify that problem.

harsh topaz
#

15 years, never have the conversation of "I cant install this addon" come up.

mortal harbor
#

oh i thought you were talking about installing OBS plugins

harsh topaz
#

However, with OBS.. oof.

vale vine
#

yea. obs is complicated beast haha thats why we use it

#

because it checks a ton of boxes

harsh topaz
#

no, I'm saying; the simple structure of:

AddOns/PUT THE FOLDER HERE has never been something I've experienced people failing.

quiet bramble
#

In the future when I distribute my own plugins, I intend to only provide 64bit Windows binaries with installer too. Anything more than that is maximum headache ๐Ÿ™‚

harsh topaz
#

Where as the 2 different folders in OBS, and the fact all .dll of the plug & the default OBS ones are mixed together - makes it impossible for people to know if they did things right or not.

mortal harbor
#

well that's the OBS plugin install experience too. the problem is that there's already folders with the same name there.

harsh topaz
#

It's not really the users fault a lot of plugin installations are horrid.

quiet bramble
#

Using 32bit OBS? Soh solly, no soup foh you! ๐Ÿ˜›

mortal harbor
#

OBS plugin installs are still "drop everything from the zip into this folder" though.

harsh topaz
#

That is NOT intuitive.

obsidian agate
quiet bramble
#

Some plugins do not even have a folder structure and just contain the raw DLL file and a hope and a prayer to the user to figure out where to put it.

harsh topaz
#

I'll tell you how I know. Because I wasn't even aware until a few months ago.

mortal harbor
vale vine
#

so maybe my initial question should be posed in dev channel?

harsh topaz
#

And I'd consider myself pretty poweruser.

#

The structure should really just be:
obs-plugins/NameOfPlugin/whatever is required of OBS - developers structure your stuff properly.

#

It's same in Minecraft. Heck, I think it's same everywhere? ๐Ÿ˜„

obsidian agate
#

would be nice to just be able to toss the zip file in a single folder, and let OBS figure it out.

OBS : Oh, this zip file has a folder structure in it i recognize (obs-studio, data, obs-plugins, etc), I am going to make use of this

harsh topaz
#

That's the thing about doing it like that. You put the responsibility of folder structure onto people that are much more capable (developers of plugins)

#

So as long as people put the entire plugin folder, into obs-plugins, it's up the the dev to make sure things are structured according to where OBS looks for things.

mortal harbor
#

but really, none of this matters in terms of OBS considering the work being done with a plugin manager.

obsidian agate
#

An .obsplugin file wouldnt be surprising to me in the future Plugin Manager, with it being just a zip file

mortal harbor
#

which is a much better solution than changing a file structure anyways.

obsidian agate
quiet bramble
#

I don't think anything short of a fully fledged plugin manager will really solve any of the end user confusion and support problems regarding installing plugins.

obsidian agate
#

the whole point of the folder structure in the zip files right now is so when its unzipped to the OBS directory, it installs the right files to the right locations.

The Plugin Manager would, hopefully, just read the .plugin file with whatever structure it has, and be done with it. no moving files around the install folder beyond just dropping in the plugin file itself

quiet bramble
#

Modern computer users are just not well trained to understand the filesystem, how to copy/move files in the file manager, what various directories/folders are for, and general file manipulation.

mortal harbor
obsidian agate
#

it should, again hopefully, be as simple as WoW addons or Chrome extensions when it comes to adding and removing them.

obsidian agate
#

plugins downloaded by the end user from locations other than within OBS or the OBS website/forums

mortal harbor
#

they're really one in the same from my understanding

quiet bramble
#

The user interface for it is terrible, but the concept is just right with the Elgato Stream Deck integrated plugin manager/store/whatever thingie.

obsidian agate
mortal harbor
#

i personally think the way Native Access works would be my preferred UI

#

obviously things would different, but generally.

quiet bramble
#

Hmm, now that OBS is on Steam... I wonder if it'd be possible to upload OBS plugins to NexusMods as mods, and use Vortex to install them. ๐Ÿ™‚

obsidian agate
#

id rather not have Steam manage my OBS plugins

quiet bramble
#

it wouldn't be, Vortex would be

#

Wouldn't be as nice as native integrated plugin management, but this is pretty easy to use.

unknown.png
lament leaf
#

I think if plugin manager was a thing, it would be a huge asset. However it would have its own risk vs. Reward.
That being, people seem to not like to uninstall things or delete things. The manager would possibly have to have a plugin cap, so as to avoid issues with "to many plugins"? My lunch thoughts.

quiet bramble
#

Hard disagree. Artificial limitations blow

#

The software should solve actual problems rather than imaginary ones.

obsidian agate
#

nothing wrong with a little warning in the interface, much like the MP4 warning. Just have it appear maybe after enabling 3-5 plugins or so. doesnt have to be too intrusive either

quiet bramble
#

There's no good reason why you couldn't have 500 plugins installed and working perfectly fine and causing no problems simply because of the number of plugins that are installed.

#

If an individual plugin is problematic, then the problem is that plugin, not the number of them that are installed.

#

And when it comes to plugin problems related to incompatible plugin versus OBS version, that is entirely manageable with plugin installation metadata.

#

Full dependency information can be provided within the metadata.

obsidian agate
#

oh, big thing we need with the plugin manager, a way to deactivate plugins without uninstalling them.

quiet bramble
#

Yep. Ideally a way to load/unload them without restarting the program too, but that'd likely be a major change to the program, and I imagine an unlikely one as a result.

mortal harbor
#

Why would having more than 5 plugins be a problem?

quiet bramble
#

it wouldn't

obsidian agate
#

overall the plugin manager would remove a lot of headaches and hassle, especially with troubleshooting. spending more time figuring out the problem, rather than "did you install the right one? do it again. this one, not that one. "

quiet bramble
#

The more plugins you have installed, the more likely one of them might have a bug/flaw perhaps, but to assume that just because someone has many plugins installed it is a bad thing and should be prevented or they should get a warning, would only cause users to become confused AF, with no basis for it.

wary escarp
quiet bramble
#

Name even a single program that pops up a scary confusing warning to users who install more than N plugins?

#

I've got over 100 plugins installed in Firefox. Runs like a champ. Doesn't complain or pop up annoying warnings.

obsidian agate
quiet bramble
#

Skyrim itself is a big pile of crash. If anything, the more plugins you install in Skyrim the more likely it is to not crash. ๐Ÿ™‚

lament leaf
#

I was just thinking that the everyday user will just install all these plugins that they hear about from wherever, then wonder why OBS freezes or hangs or whatnot. That is why I asked about a cap, but Rob's warning idea would be a better fit. That was all.

quiet bramble
#

From a human interface design perspective, ideally you don't want to ever have to warn users of anything or pop up any messages to tell them something, and if you absolutely have to, you want the text to be as short as possible and as clear as possible because 99.99999999999999999999999999999% of users are going to just hit ENTER or click OK without reading it.

lament leaf
quiet bramble
#

And the more warnings/popups/whatever, the less people want to read them and can't wait to mash a button or key to get rid of it and never see it again.

#

OBS already has some warnings in it in bright reddish text here and there, and nobody ever reads them or listens to what they say.

plucky ferry
#

I want this function when I was here too

quiet bramble
#

I think what is likely to happen is that some time in the future one of the OBS developers will decide to tackle the plugin manager problem, they'll all discuss ideas/concerns/etc. in the RFC, figure out what they want to do to give users the best experience and to provide a good user interface and implement it all in a way that also tries to avoid users hitting problems and requiring technical support.

#

Based on feedback from that, bug reports etc. they'll iterate on it and improve it each release to solve the actual problems that come up.

#

Gonna likely be a big thing to take on though, which I imagine is why nobody's dove head first into it yet. ๐Ÿ™‚

i just named the scene that

#

cj from gta

regal breach
#

what kind of source is it

twin sun
#

its an mp4

#

just an audio source

regal breach
#

okay remove your hotkey for that, and remove the search filter

twin sun
#

i just need to figure out how to get the audio to replay upon hotkey press

regal breach
#

scroll down to the cj section, find the replay/restart hotkey

twin sun
#

there is only show and hide

#

ill screenshot

#

the one that says "audiosmonk"

regal breach
# twin sun

that means cj is a scene. i was asking earlier what type of source it is and you said it's an mp4

hey! just got a stream deck, have the obs plug in on the stream deck but when i check tools and go to elgato stream deck it says not connected... im on obs 28 and stream deck 5.3. is it something on obs's end or stream deck?

quiet bramble
#

OBS has websockets built into it now, you may have to reconfigure it. Also make sure you have the latest Stream Deck software update, they just added OBS 28 support recently, not sure the version

magic summit
#

Yeah I have that version of stream deck installed. Have no clue on how to reconfigure websockets tho lol ๐Ÿ˜…

mortal harbor
#

What does websocket have to do with the StreamDeck (plugin)?

quiet bramble
#

StreamDeck plugins control OBS using websockets.

#

And it looks like the latest StreamDeck software ONLY supports OBS 28 now, which is mega awesome.

mortal harbor
#

I never needed websockets to use my StreamDeck with OBS thonk

#

I mean, it's connected via USB

quiet bramble
#

Then you're not using any Stream Deck functionality that requires websockets.

mortal harbor
#

Oh, that's different. My question was pointed at using StreamDeck in general

quiet bramble
#

Ok, not really sure what you're asking then.

mortal harbor
#

Nevermind, I get your point which is totally correct.

quiet bramble
#

Looks like some stuff was updated to use the new websockets and compatibility with 27.x and older was thrown out the door.

#

It's getting really sucktastic to try to keep multiple programs from different parties plus all of their plugins all updated to one single thing, while also not breaking 1000 other things.

#

I wondered why my start recording and other buttons errored out recently, it's because I upgraded to the latest StreamDeck software that was updated for OBS 28, and the various StreamDeck plugins also seem to have updated themselves also to only support the latest release.

#

None of it would be a problem if feature parity, compatibility, and stability between all programs, plugins, components were maintained by all parties. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

And if you completely disable auto-updates on everything and only manually update confirmed things, it doesn't take long until new plugins etc. only support new programs and you can't get updates.

hey all, is anyone here good with the move source plugin? I am trying to animate some sources using andilippi's youtube tutorial. I have 4 browser sources that i want to go round in a circle, i made 4 move source filters for each source, and have got it moving as i want. but when it is on screen it glitches and jumps back. when i look at the filters switching on instead of going 1, 2, 3, 4 it seems like some are triggering simultaneously.

if you look at the top here, the first 4 are moving browser source 1 to the right, bottom, left and top, but filters 1 and 3 are visible at the same time

any idea what i'm doing wrong? would like them all to move in a seamless loop

Does OBS support VST3 plugins yet?

no

so can't I use the new elgato EQ with obs?

mortal harbor
#

new elgato EQ? can you link what you're talking about?

if you have a wave device which i believe is required to use their EQ anyways, you'd be managing all audio in wave link and then sending it to OBS.

developing a c plugin. I use .github\scripts\Build-Windows.ps1, but every time i run it, it extracts the obs-build-dependencies zips. Is there a way to build faster by re-extracting it again? is there a preferred way to build faster during development/debugging?

#

i also tried to put my plugin folder in obs-studio/UI/frontend-plugins, then build obs, but i don't get meaningful logs from it so i can't figure out my bugs

regal breach
#

anyone know how to fix this?

unknown.png
#

tried to debug again after fixing all errors

regal breach
#

so im guessing that's because the target there isn't obs, but just the plugin, which you can't run

#

how do i do an in-tree plugin build? scene switcher has such a thing in their BUILDING.md, but applying the steps there for my plugin doesn't seem to be as straightforward. i'm asking because i don't want to have multiple obs-studio local forks each with builds, which take up a lot of space

wary escarp
#

the plugintemplate is made for out-of-tree builds

#

why would you need multiple obs-studio forks for out-of-tree builds though?

regal breach
#

do you mean i can keep all plugins in one folder, and they'll share the obs-studio folder?

#

also i already have an obs local build for contributing to the main repo

#

wouldn't that cause issues with commits

wary escarp
#

when you have the plugintemplate, that doesn't go into the obs-studio folder at all

regal breach
wary escarp
#

yes (assuming I understand the question correctly)

regal breach
#

(release, as in not debug)

regal breach
regal breach
wary escarp
#

In Xcode, I can debug any executable even if it's not part of the project, so I debug OBS app from the plugin project. Once the plugin is loaded by OBS, breakpoints get hit correctly.
I assume similar things are possible in other IDEs.

Mac buddy of mine got fed up with trying to stream from Mac a few years ago due to various limitations, and I convinced him to try using OBS and other software in Windows running on Bootcamp on the mac and he's never looked back since.

#

He kind of has the best of both worlds for a few years now. He can use the mac apps he loves and which work well, and can use the Windows apps/tools that work better than what's on Mac native, both at the same time.

#

Plus have access to almost all OBS plugins, tools, scripts etc. without having to worry about cross platform feature parity/bugs etc.

Does anyone know when the StreamFX-plugin is gonna come live?

quiet bramble
#

The author of StreamFX does not develop it to a deadline and has no date planned.

#

There is an alpha development build available that is unstable. It will likely get more and more stable as development continues towards a release eventually though.

#

While an unpopular release strategy with end users, I am a big fan of this approach personally although it is biased by my own experiences as a developer. Developing towards an achievement target rather than a time/date target yields better quality software and a more pleasant development environment in my experience. ๐Ÿ™‚

azure knot
#

Yeah, totally understandable, as there might be elements in the process that end users such as me dont understand ๐Ÿ™‚ Just wanted to know if anyone knew anything ^^

quiet bramble

It'll likely get a beta or release candidate at some point for hammering on.

Are there any other known solutions to create separate recordings of single scenes/sources besides source-record? Sadly that plugin creates heavy audio crackling on my audio interfaces. :-/

quiet bramble
#

You can use multiple monitors with full screen projector on them of each individual source/scene you want to record, and then run multiple copies of OBS simultaneously and have them do display capture of the display the projector is running on.

#

The more things you want to record however, the higher the burden on the CPU/GPU/RAM/storage.

azure egret
#

Thats actually a thing I should try, thank you. CPU/GPU power is not an issue since I got my new PC, so I was not thinking about that yet :)

quiet bramble
#

Another option is using NDI to export sources/scenes and record them via OBS either on the same computer doing NDI source, or on a different computer on the LAN.

azure egret
#

NDI is insane on network usage, gotta try the double OBS :)

quiet bramble
#

NDI compresses video over the wire too though so that puts some additional overhead on things and potentially affects quality depending on what the footage is and expectations.

#

It's also possible to use the Spout plugin between multiple copies of OBS which actually probably gives better results come to think of it.

azure egret
#

Thank you!

quiet bramble
#

there's also an open source alternative to NDI that starts with a T that I forget the name of. Haven't tried it and never hear it mentioned much so I presume it is limited. Spout is a better bet on a single computer setup.

  1. you should be able to do that with a full screen projector (right click on the video preview)
  2. yes, just add the url or location of your html page into a browser source

#

Hello, is there a message here that explains in details while one shouldn't use Starscape? Thanks

quiet bramble
#

Keep in mind too that full screen projectors consume resources.

azure egret
#
  1. oh, then you actually need your own streaming server to stream to or use a service you can stream to and then embed the stream into a video player tag.
quiet bramble
#

You can set up an nginx server for that

azure egret
#

yeah I also use nginx for my rtmp server

#

if you want to stream locally, sure

vale vine
river wing
quiet bramble
#

If you're wanting to have the ability to server local web pages with embedded video in them that you are streaming from OBS live, then you need a webserver, and need way to send video from OBS to the webserver. That is typically done using nginx with RTMP or SRT. If you have a webserver with this functionality already then you might be able to use it. If not then you'll likely have to read one of the guides for how to set up an nginx server with RTMP.

#

Bot might have a command for that not sure.

you still need an rtmp server, see link above posted by the bot

In fairness, github website is designed by and for developers and not for end users, so it's not surprising that many end users find it difficult to navigate since it's kind of that way by design. A much better way for making this stuff available for end users would be to have an actual web page on a given project's website that directly links to the individual downloads for each release in a manner that is easy to navigate and understand. The counter to that, in particular for many open source projects is that they want end users to always use the latest version of the software and do not want to make older unsupported versions easy to find to discourage people from using ancient stuff that is no longer supported and then coming looking for support anyway.

# amber tundra I am using voicemeeter banana and when I'm streaming on twitch I'm getting error...

It's very important if using Voicemeeter or any other audio software, that you configure all of your audio devices to use the same sample rate and bit depth in Windows control panel, and then configure Voicemeeter and any other apps to use the same rate. If not, sample rate/depth conversion has to take place and it tends to be unreliable in Windows leading to audio desynchronization issues and crackling or "robot voice" problems.

#

Important to do this with all playback and recording devices. Recommend using 48kHz/24bit audio configuration. If you have any devices that do not support this, that's ok they'll have to use sample rate conversion potentially but the less the better.

#

Going from 16 to 24bit or vice versa does not seem to be a big issue, but converting between say 44.1kHz and 48kHz will likely eventually cause audio desync in my experience.

amber tundra
#

thank you

Most professional audio software (such as DAWs) also recommend configuring Windows to give priority to background processes, to help ensure audio is less likely to get dropped on heavy CPU load for example.

The latest version of OBS allegedly has application audio capture but I've never used that so can't speak for it's usefulness.

vivid scaffold
#

ive tried to use that and the plug in, but none of those actually capture the audio, at least adding the new track of the application to the mixer

quiet bramble
#

You can configure which audio inputs get recorded to which audio tracks in the video file if you use MKV file container, and configure the audio in advanced audio properties. One downside is that by default any new audio sources added to OBS get automatically sent to all 6 audio channels so if you forget to reconfigure it, you'll have one audio input mixed with all your other audio sources. (I wish there was a way to disable that behaviour or reconfigure it)

Make sure that the version of StreamFX you have states that it is compatible with that version of OBS on the wiki or it wont work. If you do have version compatibility and it still isn't working, one rather common reason is having more than one OBS installation on the machine and installing StreamFX to the default location when you're actually running a different OBS installed somewhere else.

#

I'd have to double check to be sure as it's been a while, but I believe StreamFX 0.10 is for OBS 26.x and 0.11 is for OBS 27.x

Docks in OBS can be managed from the Docks menu in the main OBS window.

You can toggle docks on and off, or lock or unlock docks to prevent moving and editing, as well as add custom browser-based docks here.

You can also reset the UI from this menu to return your docks to their original state (Docks > Reset Docks).

I see what you mean, so in advanced audio settings I can decide which audio goes into the stream and which into the recording, so I can just use an audio capture on for say my pandora, and in the tracks make it to where the pandora will not go into the recording correct?

fossil wyvern

yes

#

provided you've selected different tracks for stream and vod in settings > output

# hidden hazel Hey, how is this vtuber tracking the game's lighting to her face? Is this a spec...

It looks to me like she has lowered the opacity on her camera overlay. That can be done a number of ways but the most common way would be the Color Correction filter in OBS, dragging the opacity slider down to 50%, making her camera overlay transparent so you can see the game through it. Alternatively the Vtuber software she's using might have an opacity option built into it. So she's not tracking the game's lighting but rather using transparency on her camera to allow the background to blend through the camera.

After the video is done then it changes back? Advanced scene switcher doesn't look like it has that capability to me.

how to remove plugins

quiet bramble
# sonic harbor how to remove plugins

Before removing plugins, exit OBS first. On Windows, plugins that were installed using the recommended EXE file installers should be uninstalled the same way any other Windows programs are uninstalled, via Windows Settings uninstall option. For plugins that were installed by manually copying the files/folders out of a zip file into the proper OBS plugins directory, they are not registered with Windows in any way and so you have to manually find and delete the individual files on your own. To do this you need to know which files were copied where which you can figure out by looking inside of the downloaded ZIP file, then manually deleting each one of them. If you're interested in seeing OBS have an easier way to manage plugins built into the program in the future, be sure to vote for the plugin management feature on the OBS ideas.obsproject.com website also.

sonic harbor
quiet bramble
#

If you installed it via copying files from the zip file, you have to manually hunt down the files in your OBS installation and remove them individually. Alternatively you can uninstall OBS entirely, and then reinstall it, however you will have to also reinstall any other plugins you might have been using, and may need to reinstall 3rd party software such as Elgato Stream Deck (if you have one) that might install plugins into OBS also.

#

If you don't know what files, redownload the plugin if necessary and look inside the zip file to get the filenames it contains. You can then go into your obs-studio folder of the actively used OBS installation and use the File Explorer search feature to search for each file.

#

And for the record, yes this sucks. But it's unfortunately the only way to do it other than reinstalling the software and any desired plugins. Easier to learn how to find the files and remove them IMHO.

#

Whenever you go to download an OBS plugin, always get the EXE file installer if one is available. Also, some provide an EXE file installer but wrap it inside of a zip file which might be called pluginname-installer.zip or similar.

#

EXE based installs are always easier to uninstall than manually copying files around partying like it was 1995. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Also note that a lot of YouTube tutorials out there will often recommend people download the zip file, even if the given plugin has an EXE file. This is an oversight on the part of the person making the tutorial assuming everyone is an expert that knows how to do this stuff all manually. I would not listen to such bad advice if an EXE file is available. (No idea if the plugin in question above has one or not, this is just general advice.)

Hei I have a question: How can I record 3 different files. Video, audio and Microphone.

spiral ruin
torn storm
#

Well, I have followed the steps in many videos to separate desktop audio and mic audio but , I only get 1 track that contains video and audio together as a file.

spiral ruin
#

Let's head back to #audio-support as that is the best place for this conversation. You will always get one FILE with video and audio. OBS supports up to six audio tracks WITHIN that file. And that file can be used in a video editor, and the individual audio tracks can be edited separately from each other. Unless you are looking for something different, at which point please explain.

icy ferry
#

Anyone have any idea or if it is even possible to save Scenes and Transitions to a configuration file? If I lose an elaborate configuration and have to start all over again, is there a way to save the Metadata of an OBS configuration?

spiral ruin
#

Scene collections and Profiles can be exported to file and saved. All media assets still need to be backed up separately. I'm not sure where transitions fit in. Probably scene collections.

icy ferry
#

I saw the export option under Scene collections. It wants to export a JSON file. I'm wondering if this file will record Transition configurations as well?

# pastel wave i am getting robotic audio since upgrading to OBS 28 and NDI 4.10

Make sure that your audio sample rate and bit depth in Windows is configured the same for all devices, and that OBS is configured to match it. If you're using any other audio programs such as a DAW or audio routing software like Voicemeeter, also configure all of their audio to be the same. The usual cause of robot voice audio is mismatched sample rates between hardware and software requiring on the fly conversion, and the CPU becoming overloaded and unable to keep up with realtime leading to a buffer underflow and desync.

#

rolling back to the 27 version is clear without any adjustment with these settings

quiet bramble
#

Not sure what the current status is, but there are 2 different versions of NDI, 4 and 5. I believe the NDI 4 plugin for OBS 28 is unstable, and I don't think they have an NDI 5 plugin available for OBS yet. It's possible there could be a problem due to support not yet being up to scratch for OBS 28.x.

pastel wave
#

yes i saw that in the discussion of the plugin

#

5 was briefly available but it seemed to be pulled

regal breach
#

there's an option in settings> audio for monitoring. try enabling it

pastel wave
#

NDI had a tick against it on compatibility page which was why I upgraded

quiet bramble
#

Maybe it shouldn't have a tick. I know StreamFX was previously listed as being compatible with OBS 28 on that page, and it isn't compatible.

#

that got updated I think though

pastel wave

I have a wild issue. My plugins don't update/change, but in a wild way. If I delete the file of the plug-in I CAN STILL OPEN IT! Which is... amazing! Can save me space on a hard drive by having these /phantom plug-ins/ with no .dll files behind them

#

But it would be nice if I could also ADD new plug-ins, which I can not

#

Any ideas?

#

In other words... In the VSTPlugins folder, if I add a plug-in it's not there. If I delete plug-ins that ARE there, they are still there/usable in OBS!

#

And yes, emptied recycle bin and restarted computer/OBS. I have no idea how this is possible.

Any idea of why adding plug ins doesn't change anything?

This doesn't explain it.... I am literally deleting a plug in that only exists in one folder (I checked them all, it only ever existed there) Deleting it makes it still accessible. And on the flipside, adding new ones doesn't do anything either!

Or it can be summarized to "Why doesn't OBS come with other software I'm too lazy to download?" ๐Ÿ™‚
