@quaint dune i don't see any attempts to load obs-multi-rtmp.dll, so it wasn't installed
are you sure you installed it to the correct directory? (executable installer might fail to autodetect the right folder if you installed obs-studio more than once, then you will have to use the .zip file and extract manually)

[quaint dune]

I already did process with .ZIP and do not allow it

[untold jay]

@quaint dune are you sure you extracted to the correct folder?

[quaint dune]

yes, folder obs studio.

[untold jay]

@quaint dune like so?

[quaint dune]

yes

[untold jay]

try manually going to bin/64bit/ and running obs64.exe from there

[quaint dune]

He says: They have not been able to load the OBS Plugins please update or eliminate the plugins

[untold jay]

@quaint dune k, try this: uninstall obs-studio, download https://cdn-fastly.obsproject.com/downloads/OBS-Studio-28.1.2-Full-Installer-x64.exe and https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases/download/0.2.8.1-OBS28/obs-multi-rtmp-setup.exe , install both

I can not get my elgato g keys on corsair k100 keyboard to work with obs

[vestal gust]

Is possible screencast with audio in OBS via scrcpy?

[lament leaf]

I am not sure if you can. Firstly to run the g keys. You need to have Corsair iCue program running. Second, the g keys are generally macro keys. You can have Elgato Stream Deck interact with the keys since the stream deck had a plugin developed for it. I am not sure if they can interact with OBS directly. From what I could find for a similar situation with internet searches, a corsair employee (on their own forum) recommended working thru Elgato Stream Deck.

[bitter prairie]

thank you

[lament leaf]

Maybe someone here may have additional insight when they see this. However that is what I found.

For reference: https://forum.corsair.com/forums/topic/165491-g-key-for-obs-control

[bold light]

How do you I get streamlabs video alert box to work in obs? When I tried it, the alerts were working when I do the test alert but not during stream

[lament leaf]

1. Take the URL that is provided you to put into the browser source and put that url in your browser and test it. Does it work?
2. Make sure your browser source layer for the alerts is above all other layers in OBS so nothing covers it.
3. make sure that the browser source is not off canvas by selecting the source and doing ctrl + F (fit to screen shortcut)

[bold light]

It didn’t work when I put it in my browser

[lament leaf]

If it doesn't work when you take the URL the website gives you and plug it into your browser, then it is most likely on Streamlabs end. I would reach out to them.

[bold light]

Ok

How do you use the VR plugin?

[mortal harbor]

what VR plugin?

[cloud tangle]

uh, I'm a noob with this stuff but, it captures the VR screen, I think.

Like, someone told me there's a plugin to record 1st person and 3rd person by using a plugin in OBS

[oblique yew]

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

[cloud tangle]

this didn't help... There's just something wrong... I'll reinstall everything and see what happened.

[cloud tangle]

ok, it works now. I finally used my brain.

[queen sierra]

Okay, I've played a bit with Source Record. What I'm having difficulty comprehending now is if i ca. Only take audio from the track settings i have OR if i can get it to only record the audio coming from just the source (game capture, in this case)

[untold jay]

!ac @queen sierra

[oblique yew]

@queen sierra

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

[obsidian agate]

I believe for Source Record, it will only record the sources audio if you just record that source. So if Source Record targets a Game Capture source, only the Game Capture audio would be recorded.

However, if you set up a new scene, put whatever in that scene, then add the Source Record filter to that scene, it -should- record all of the audio that is part of that scene.

I havent messed around with Source Record to know if this is fully accurate, but it gives you something to test out

[limber leaf]

Hi. Does anyone know of a script or plugin that can allow chat to trigger OBS? So someone types !fail in twitch chat and OBS automatically unhides a fail gif then hides it after a few seconds?

[spiral ruin]

Touch Portal and Streamdeck (and probably others) can do that.

[limber leaf]

I can do it easily from LioranBoard and such, but I'm wanting to trend away from LioranBoard since I'm short on RAM. Trying to cut back where I can since I can't afford to upgrade the laptop

[mortal harbor]

it sounds like you have a few good options mentioned already.

[bright sapphire]

Bots can do that as well. I use Streamlabs Chatbot (locally installed) and with commands it can trigger a gif, vid, and include sound if you wish

[obsidian agate]

since it involves chat commands, why not use something like StreamerBot? That connects directly to OBS via WebSockets, and to Twitch/YouTube chat, and lets you customize the commands and who can use them

[quiet sedge]

i don't know if this is relevant here but my encoder on my OBS on my MAC says it overloading do i need a plug in or a tool to help this

[oblique yew]

If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!

[spiral ruin]

You can easily test it for free with Touch Portal, and see if has that big of an impact on your system. However, if running out of RAM is your issue, I would worry less about the bells and whistles of alerts and automation, focusing more on optimizing and balancing your pc for streaming.

Discord changed how their Overlay is formatted, breaking all of the old Custom CSS methods. Best bet is to search on Twitter for "discord overlay OBS css", there should be a lot of results for different ways to rework your current CSS code so it works again

trying to get Shader Filter uploaded.... Dropping the Bin+Data folder in the Resources in the OBS filter... Nothing is showing up.... Anyone out there having any ideas? I usually work OBS on my Windows, but needed to jump Mac for a bit

[remote niche]

Hello! Random question here. I am using the OBS NDI Plugin. I am new to this and was wondering which PC I should be building my scene transitions, overlays, etc on -- my Main PC or the Streaming PC? I just want to make sure before I get too deep

[analog ruin]

Depends on what your goals are, and where you plan to be making the production (switching scenes etc).

If you'd like to offload as much as possible to the machine running the encoding, then you'd have that doing all the heavy lifting (scenes should be made and rendered there). If it's not, then a 2pc setup is probably not the best idea for your usecase

[pliant gate]

Hi, I try to link my plugin against static library and it's not working anymore. Building successfully but OBS simply ignores it (nothing in logs at all)

[pliant gate]

OBS 28 has --verbose param so managed to find out this: "Required module function 'obs_module_load' in module '...' not found, loading of module failed"

Okay! Yes I definitely want the stream pc to handle as much as possible.

[weak escarp]

I might have made a new plugin called Browser Transition

[fossil wyvern]

what is it exactly? using a browser source as a transition?

[weak escarp]

like a stinger transition uses a video file this uses a browser source

[fossil wyvern]

oh cool

what would be the use cases over a video stinger? interactivity?

[mortal harbor]

transitions hosted by alerts/overlay providers the same way other browser overlays are.

[weak escarp]

you could make a transition containing the profile picture of the last subscriber for example

[fossil wyvern]

oh yee

would it be possible to have it "animated", like a stinger?
I'd assume reloading the browser everytime you transition would be too much of a delay, so would there be any way to send a "it's transition time start animating" to the browser page?

[weak escarp]

The browser source has events when it becomes visible and hides

[fossil wyvern]

noice

[gray spade]

Hey, is it possible to smoothly fade down the music with a transition to another scene (automatically)? For now, it just stops playing

[honest folio]

do they have any plugins that are really good? i'm not even sure how to actually get them but just wondering

Just Google "OBS Plugins" it will link you to a forum... Make sure to check the URL however, hackers been packaging obs with malware and getting top slot on Google - MAKE SURE you don't click a sponsored slot or an ad slot, make sure it's something like "obsproject" or something.

Go-to the forum and click on "Plugins" search that slew of pages for something that can do what you need. Remember you can get inventive and combine more than 1 to get an effect you want

If you intend on streaming to twitch but want high quality recordings, SOURCE RECORD is a great plugin

[quiet bramble]

I read your description and watched the video clip, and I wasn't able to understand the problem, perhaps you could explain it another way to make it clearer?

[regal pine]

What happens is the right side is my second screen and when I use my virtual camera through tthe filter on a group and when I realize the stuff in the group the feed on the virtual camera does not resize but when I use the virtual camera plugin on obs 28 not as a filter the resizing works but I don't want to do that because I need more then one virtual camera and the reason I'm no using the built in one because it has higher delay and with the filter I would be able to record also with the same obs

[regal breach]

please use punctuation

[quiet bramble]

Not sure, but Groups in OBS have a number of bugs in them that manifest in various sometimes obscure ways. It's best to avoid using Groups and use nested scenes or other mechanisms instead. Groups do have problems with regards to resizing, so it is possible with your use case that you are experiencing that.

[regal pine]

How do I do nested scenes and I will try it later and if it does not work then I will come back here

[quiet bramble]

Basically you create a new scene, put all of the sources into it that are in the group you have now, then disable the group by hiding it in the current scene, then add to the current scene a new source of type "Scene Source" and choose the new scene you made to replace the group.

You can put any filters on this secondary scene like you would have put on the group.

[regal pine]

Is there a way to make a keybind to disable something in the scene source

[regal breach]

just as you can set a hotkey to disable any source in a scene, yes

same thing really

[regal pine]

Okay thanks because the scene method is working

[shrewd sun]

one of my pcs dont show up on either obs ndi or obs teleport but it was working fine earlier today

[regal breach]

ensure obs is whitelisted from your firewall

[mossy lintel]

@weak escarp is it possible to add looping function to your all mighty Move Transition plugin. What I mean is that there is additional option for next move (where I can select Reverse for example) and I'd like to set it to loop so it will make move I've set then reverse it (next move) and then start again from beginning and then reverse again...

[weak escarp]

in that case I would need to store 2 transforms for that filter instead of 1 and give the user the extra properties to edit both transforms, while it can be easy done with 2 move filters

[mossy lintel]

I'm gonna do (at least try to do) little video what I'm having now and what I'm trying to achieve, in a few days when I have more time. You know NYE and such :D. But thanks for quick reply as always.

[green seal]

Do you know of any plugins that can help keep the audio volume constant?

[mossy lintel]

wdym constant? if you mean rise the lower volume and lower the higher volume then built in compressor can do that which you add as a filter to your audio device in OBS

depending how big the difference between volume is you'd want to level then it might get quite bad in the end

[stiff wagon]

Hello every1

[quiet bramble]

That's called audio normalization, try a Google search for "free normalization VST" and there's probably something on kvraudio or vst4free website out there to try.

[golden sage]

Hi all, here to warn you about ModOverlaySuite (a website that you connect to and use a browser source to count win/loss etc) - https://www.reddit.com/r/obs/comments/1001zx4/warning_modoverlaysuite_browser_source_recently/
Forgive me if this is the wrong channel, just want to get the warning out!

thanks to @lament lark for the help in figuring it out last night 😄

[wise palm]

If that's the site I think it is, they didn't even pay for the HTTPS "security", and a year ago my browser warned me it was unsafe

[golden sage]

ahh interesting, I had pretty much forgot its existence the last couple years lol, I'm glad it gave me a sign that it was compromised, otherwise it could've sat as a bad browser source for a long time

[wise palm]

If it's the same one I'm thinking, it's one of if not the best option for fighting game scoreboards, and keeps a log of players - I believe in it's infancy it was free, but now it costs?

[golden sage]

maybe different, I didn't even continue to the website since it gives a malware warning, and it was essentially just a convenient script for one browser source to count wins/loss/draws via chat commands

[quiet bramble]

It's free... LetsEncrypt...

[vapid charm]

Yeah. Whatever the site had 2 years ago at least according to wayback machine it's dunzo'd.

[fresh urchin]

Does anyone know why I still can’t download plug-ins I tried everything

[quiet bramble]

Hard to say as we can't see what you're doing, however if you have antivirus software it is possible it could be interfering with downloads and may need to be configured to allow them, or be temporarily disabled.

[fresh urchin]

Oh dang

Because I want the freeze filter and streamfx

[quiet bramble]

Just tested and downloaded both of those successfully here, so there doesn't appear to be any problems on the server side at the moment.

[fresh urchin]

Oh but I just don’t understand how to do it I always download them wrong

[quiet bramble]

What operating system are you using?

[fresh urchin]

In dm can you pls send me a video exactly how you did it

Windows obs 28

[quiet bramble]

Ok, you can get Freeze Filter from this link, click on Download, and then on the [Download] button beside freeze-filter-0.3.3-windows-installer.zip. You will need to unzip the zip file using a program like 7-zip or whatever archiver you prefer, and then run the EXE file installer inside. For StreamFX, there is no stable release for OBS 28, just an unsupported alpha release presently. You can download the linked EXE and run it. OBS studio will need to be restarted if it is running during installation of any plugins before it will see them.
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/freeze-filter.950/
https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-StreamFX/releases/download/0.12.0a151/streamfx-windows-0.12.0a151-g0f114f56.exe

[fresh urchin]

By unzip that’s extract correct

[quiet bramble]

Keep in mind also that the alpha version of StreamFX has known issues, and that there wont ever be a stable release of StreamFX for OBS 28.x, so if you encounter problems there aren't a lot of options. (Downgrading to OBS 27.2.4 and using the last stable StreamFX release, or waiting until a future stable release and upgrading to the new OBS it supports).

[quiet bramble]

yup

[fresh urchin]

And where do u run the the exe file for freeze filter

[quiet bramble]

doesn't matter, just open it wherever it is extracted to, and follow the installation wizard

[fresh urchin]

Ok is there another plug-in with blur filter?

and 3D

[quiet bramble]

The OBS Shaderfilter plugin has a gaussian blur shader, but it is quite primitive compared to the Blur filter included in StreamFX. Not aware of any other blur filters for OBS. If by 3D you mean the 3D Transform filter in StreamFX, it has 3 modes, perpective, orthographic and corner pin. There are no alternatives for the first 2 of these options, however there are a few other options for Corner Pin. I've made a modified version of it which adds anti-aliasing to the filter for use with OBS Shaderfilter, and I believe there is another 3rd party Corner Pin available in the OBS forums (not 100% sure).

Only Exeldro's fork of Shaderfilter currently works with OBS 28.x at the moment also.

[fresh urchin]

Do u recommend obs 27 or 28

[quiet bramble]

Here's my anti-aliased version of Corner Pin for Shaderfilter

In general I recommend people use the newest version of OBS that is stable and reliable for their use case, and compatible with whatever plugins and tools they want to use. As such there is no one single release I would recommend generically.

Most people should use 28.x unless they need to use some plugin or other software that is not compatible with it yet, in which case 27.2.4 might serve them better.

[fresh urchin]

👍 thank you

[quiet bramble]

27.2.4 is the best release for people requiring StreamFX and wanting the most stable result.

[fresh urchin]

I’m trying to make an overlay in obs where It blurs the background

[quiet bramble]

Personally, I use 26.1.1 for some things, 27.2.4 for others, and 28.1.2 for other stuff, as well as testing the 29.0.0beta 3 release. Which release I use depends on what I'm using it for.

[fresh urchin]

How can u use all of them when your stream to twitch for example

[quiet bramble]

Best way to blur a background depends on whether the background is static or dynamic. If the background is just a still image background, the best way to blur it is to do it in GIMP or photoshop and save the resulting blurred image and load that into OBS. If the background is a video loop that is pre-recorded, best way to blur that is to do it in a video editor and save a new video that is blurred and loop that. In both cases, this relieves OBS and the GPU from having to do a very expensive blur operation at runtime which is unnecessary if it can be blurred in advance.

For blurring content that is generated live however, the only way to do that is to blur it in OBS with a blur filter. This can put a huge burden on the GPU, but that can be optimized to reduce the runtime performance costs.

[fresh urchin]

The background would be another game capture

Rather then the main game

[quiet bramble]

In general, when using the StreamFX blur filter to blur a background of dynamic content, you duplicate the content using something like Source Mirror or Source Clone filters, then apply 3 filters to the cloned source. First is an OBS scale filter configured to lower the resolution of the source to at least 1/2 in both directions, if not 1/3 or 1/4, which massively reduces the number of pixels that need to be computed during the following blur operation. Second is to add the blur filter, and use Dual Filtering mode which is the least expensive, and adjust the size. Finally a second scale filter is added which is set to "Scale to canvas" which restores the blurred source to the full resolution.

Dual-filter usually is all one needs, but if you need a blur amount that is in between the coarse grained settings it provides, then box-linear blur is recommended instead. The blur options in StreamFX from least to most burden on the GPU are: dual-filtering, box-linear, box, gaussian linear, gaussian

Using those 2 scale filters on each side of the blur greatly reduces the GPU overhead while also aiding the blurring operation.

[fresh urchin]

Can I show u an example of what I mean lol

[quiet bramble]

Some are for development, some for testing, one is for live streaming to YouTube, and a few others for local recording.

[fresh urchin]

Oh cool

[quiet bramble]

sure

[fresh urchin]

https://youtu.be/kVY2KOHaATo

Like that

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, the instructions I gave above can do that.

[fresh urchin]

Ok cool thanks ,

[fresh urchin]

Last question it’s dumb 😂 what is the installation wizard

[quiet bramble]

Summarizing:

1. Use Source Mirror or Source Clone to make a duplicate of the game capture, and place this source underneath the game capture.
2. Apply 3 filters to the mirrored source. Scale Filter + Blur + Scale filter
3. First scale filter should be 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 the horizontal resolution of the actual game capture source.
4. Blur filter using the least resource using blurs from least to most - dual-filtering, box-linear, box, gaussian linear, gaussian.
5. Second scale filter set to scale-to-canvas.

[quiet bramble]

When you run a setup/installer EXE file, the program that guides you through the installation is called an installation wizard.

[fresh urchin]

Ok thank you I’ll let you know tomorrow if the installation works 😂

[quiet bramble]

Oh, as a bonus tip, if you want a drop shadow in between your game and the blurred backdrop of the game, you can use the drop-shadow shader from OBS Shaderfilter also.

yeah, best of luck getting it all working! Also, happy new year! 🙂

[fresh urchin]

Happy New Year

See @quiet bramble I’m using streamer bot and they told me soon there gonna not allow obs 27 anymore that’s why I use 28 which I’m mad I can’t use streamfx lol

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, that is definitely an unpleasant situation. 😦 Only the newest version of OBS is officially supported by the project, and most of the plugins are only supported by their authors on the latest stable release of OBS as well, however there are plugins and tools that are not always supported on the latest release of OBS too. Additionally due to new features etc. that get added or changed over time in OBS, it can introduce other incompatibilities or issues for a given person depending on their use case. So it is possible at times where one is put between a rock and a hard place as they say, where you have to choose a newer release to get support, but some plugins or tools might not work, or there might be a difference in how something works that isn't quite what one expects or needs, or one might have to stick with an older release to use a particular plugin like StreamFX, but then all the newer plugin releases do not support the older release.

Not much anyone can do about that though, as each project's developers choose what they will or will not support, and we just have to try to find a solution that is a compromise of what is available that as many things as we want or need work within.

For myself, I've found that compromise by using different versions of OBS for different use cases, and even using multiple releases together at times, passing video between them using other plugins.

[fresh urchin]

Ok 👍 😆

[quiet bramble]

I think the overwhelming majority of people generally get by quite well with the latest release though, although it can sometimes be a good idea if people wait a few weeks or a month or so for any bugs in new releases to get ironed out, and any plugin incompatibilities to also get sorted out.

[fresh urchin]

Can I use the shade filter plug-in for what I’m trying to do

[quiet bramble]

Most of the problems that do arise tend to only affect people with complex/advanced setups or whom are using a tonne of plugins/tools.

Best way for you to do the above, is with the info I provided. Not possible to just use the Shaderfilter for that without being a shader developer and writing your own effects.

[fresh urchin]

Oh ok

[fresh urchin]

This part

[mortal harbor]

just a heads up, the alpha version will work fine for v28. based on the few messages i read, it sounded like you were using the plugin for visual effects and not the encoders it includes so there shouldn't really be any stability issues.

[quiet bramble]

Even though OBS has been around for about 10 or more years now, we're still somewhat in the wild wild west of personal video streaming so doing cool things outside of the norm comes with some caveats for now. 🙂

[fresh urchin]

Ok thank you can you please post link to alpha plug-in

[quiet bramble]

The sheer number of cool plugins, shaders, and other tools that have come out in the last few years has really increased what is possible to do in OBS though, and I'm sure that will continue over the next few years, and things that were previously a bit complex/convoluted to set up will get easier for people over time.

You cannot, it's not supported at this time, with no plans to make it so.

It would be useful to figure out (in Windows), especially if one has multiple of the same hardware though.

Looks like it has to be done by manually editing the registry.

unreliable, buggy, unpredictable

[quiet bramble]

Modified the registry key for the C920, might need a reboot, dunno if it'll work as expected or not.

OBS does not see the new name presently at least, can't reboot ATM tho.

Windows Camera doesn't see the change either.

TBH, even if it did end up working, I would anticipate that the next Windows update would reset the settings like they do to audio devices.

Then send a signal back to vortex.microsoft.com that triggers an LED to flash on some dev's monitor/wall, that makes them laugh maniacally.

Hi all! I'm trying to install and use this Plugin https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-multi-hotkey-image-script.1203/ I've installed Python 3.6.8 and set the install path (done both correctly I think). When I try to access the script via Tools -> Scripts, I click it and it does nothing. Nothing shows up and clicking Edit Script doesn't seem to do anything. Where am I going wrong? Any thoughts?

If I click Edit Scripts, a new window appears then disappears immediately

Doesn't seem to have properly loaded python by the looks of it.

Also: Any particular reason you're not on v28?

[fossil wyvern]

esp for python shit, 28+ is much easier

[limber leaf]

I typically wait on updates. Perhaps it's perception, but sometimes updates can be messy upon release. Would updating help in this situation?

[fossil wyvern]

well, we're nearing completion of v29, so the messes in 28 have mostly been ironed out

[limber leaf]

is the is correct path for python?

this is the default/recommended path when I installed it

[vapid charm]

Try adding a Python36 at the end

/Python36 that is

that seems to have done the trick. Fixed the same issue with the streamlink scipt as well!

How to fix problem with live camera freezing

I want to automatically restart it when it happens

[velvet wagon]

Y’all I am trying to do a livestream of pro tools. Any advice on getting the audio into obs?

[analog ruin]

what is pro tools?

[obsidian agate]

Avid ProTools if i were to guess

[gray spade]

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work 😦 The background music has just stopped after transition 😦

[vale vine]

Could use a move audio filter to gradually get it to fade at the desired interval. Andi Lippi has a video setting it up I believe

https://youtu.be/w2L-LI_AZyM

[gray spade]

Yeah, it's great, but it's not what I want. I have the Starting screen with the two media sources, animation, and music. So when I switch this scene with the stinger (use hotkeys), I want the music to fade down automatically. in your example, I have to have to use two separate hot keys – to switch the scene and fade the music down

[regal breach]

Did you check the actual recording when you tested that? It will only abruptly cut on your monitoring device

[vale vine]

You can probably pair the move filter with advanced scene switcher plugin

Then you don't need to do anything but switch scenes once configured

[regal breach]

is it possible for a source to have the OBS_SOURCE_COMPOSITE output flag, and not have a private transition object?

trying to create a custom source that has only a media source internally, which it modifies

but the existing ones i have seen (slideshow, source switcher, scene) somehow all use transitions

[wind gorge]

Hello, I have a problem with OBS and my CHATBOX, it hasn't worked at all on my OBS for a few days while with other streamers, my URL works, do you know how I can fix it? (pardon my english)

[ruby drum]

which one should i install?

[mortal harbor]

that would depend on what OS you are on.

the screenshot looks like windows to me and you should always grab an installer over a zip.

[velvet wagon]

Yes avid pro tools. I want to start streaming me doing sound design

[wind gorge]

i'm on the last version of OBS since today, but yesterday dosent work too (sorry if i don't understand all)

[mortal harbor]

so you paste the URL you're using for your browser source in a web browser and the chat works fine?

[wind gorge]

yes, it works everywhere, even on a friend's OBS, but not on mine

[mortal harbor]

add a new browser source, don't change the URL, send a screenshot of the window that opens up.

[wind gorge]

you want me to create the same source in duplicates?

[mortal harbor]

i don't know how to say the instructions in a more clear way.

[wind gorge]

lol sorry my english is very bad so i try ^^

[mortal harbor]

just add a new browser source and send a screenshot. don't change anything else.

[ruby drum]

yep im on windows, so i download the installer?

[mortal harbor]

so your OBS browser source seems to be working fine. try replacing the URL in that source added with the one for your chat.

also if you're using streamelements, you'll need to set width to 1920 and height to 1080 probably.

[ruby drum]

@mortal harbor if i installed the pluggin, i need to do something else or it should be on my obs now?

[wind gorge]

i'm on streamlabs, and I've done this several times and it doesn't work

[mortal harbor]

can you DM me the link to your chat? your OBS seems to be working fine.

[wind gorge]

sure

[mortal harbor]

i'm not sure what's happening on your end. your OBS browser source works fine as shown by your screenshot on your chat link works fine when i tested it.

[wind gorge]

I know, I tested with a friend, it's only at home that it doesn't work...

oh, that work again... wtf

thx for your help @mortal harbor and sorry again for my english ❤️

Hey guys! Started producing a podcast recently as we are upgrading it, so I had some questions about Audio and NDI

1. If someone joins from Zoom, and I assign their screen to an NDI Source plug in, will it remain the same between different meetings as long as they use the same device each time?

2. If we have more than 6 Audio Tracks (There are six of them + me in the background + a guest sometimes), will the audio come out smooth? Does everyone need their own tracks for audio to come out right?

[mortal harbor]

this may not be a great answer but you'll probably just need to test both questions yourself.

[ruby drum]

someone?

[untold dagger]

Yeah 😅, I am planning on doing a test stream beforehand to find out but was hoping to nip it in the butt beforehand

[mortal harbor]

audio involves tweaking/mixing regardless so you can't really avoid that. trial and error is the best way.

[untold dagger]

Any good videos on properly mixing and changing?

For beginners that is

[mortal harbor]

maybe, i'm not much of a video tutorial person.

OBSDroid has not failed me yet. But the question you I should be asking is what device are you going to use this with

Droid is best with Android phone. I don't have it in action but my setup will soon contain four Android phones

[sage bane]

is Win-Capture-Audio built in to OBS 28 now? i need this option still and it seems they did not update this plugin on the github it was last touched 6 months ago. Also need to know the same for the Andersama ASIO plugin for OBS. The developer was in here a while back saying they were not going to update it , but it looks like on the github it was touched up 3 months ago? I asked this question here a few days ago and got a shotty answer. Can someone give me a correct reply pls

[regal breach]

Bump

[regal breach]

There's a built-in source with similar functionality, but it's not win-capture-audio. Different backend

[mortal harbor]

#windows-support message

i don't think you could've gotten a more direct answer.

[solid shoal]

how do i remove plugins?

[visual lantern]

You go into your OBS folder in your PC tab. Then locate plugins.

[solid shoal]

well its virtualcam

i deleted all i could find in the folders

[visual lantern]

I don't think you can technically uninstall that since it's now built-in

[solid shoal]

but when i load up obs its still there

[visual lantern]

I reiterate

[solid shoal]

i got rid of it coz it wouldnt work properly

and obs gives me this

thats why i removed it

or at least tried

[visual lantern]

Probably because you removed every single folder that it directed to?

[solid shoal]

no

its the reason i even tried to get rid of it in the first place

[visual lantern]

Have you tried to uninstalling and reinstalling it for a new instance of obs

[solid shoal]

i dont even get what you mean

[visual lantern]

Have you uninstalled and then reinstalled the software

Cuz there's a slight chance that the file got corrupted or misplaced

Have you moved your OBS folder from one spot to another?

Or made any altercations to the location at all?

[solid shoal]

no

also even tho i uninstalled the plugin

still

shows up in obs

[visual lantern]

Again, I'm not the professional here. But since virtual cam is now built into obs it's probably on the source code. For you to remove that button you'd probably have to make your own version of obs

And if you remove it you're just removing where it would locate the file and since the file can't be found it's going to throw up an error

[solid shoal]

it was a separate download for the plugin

with an installer

uninstalled

using uninstall program

i look like a tard now

[visual lantern]

... Why did you install it twice?

[solid shoal]

no no no

youre confusing me now

when i started using obs

i had to get a virtual cam plugin

off github somewhere

[visual lantern]

Are you using the latest version

[solid shoal]

i updated my obs

and it fked itself

so aparently it IS built in noiw

now*

[visual lantern]

Well I would suggest again, completely uninstall your obs, check the box that make sure that you keep all of your data for your scenes and then reinstall obs. And it will come with virtual cam built in already

[sage bane]

that is confusing, you never replied to me there are hundreds of ppl talking in here

so ASIO is updated, cuz i do remember the developer talking in here and directly replying to me months back saying they are NOT updating it

i guess they changed their mind?

[solid shoal]

i just did

its fine now

[visual lantern]

Did it work?

[solid shoal]

i think

[visual lantern]

Woo!

[solid shoal]

i cba with this man

[visual lantern]

What exactly are you talking about?

[solid shoal]

also if u can help with this rq

omegle/monkey.cool

[visual lantern]

What is that?

[solid shoal]

omegle

anonymous chat

monkey is basically the same

[visual lantern]

I'm going to need way more context

[solid shoal]

you know what omegle is right

[visual lantern]

I know what omegle is, but how does this apply with OBS?

[solid shoal]

virtualcam

[visual lantern]

Are you trying to get virtual cam on Omegle?

[solid shoal]

let me say my problem

idfk why

but im trying to stream my VRChat to it using virtual cam

[visual lantern]

Okay so that's in your browser settings.

[sage bane]

ASIO for OBS studio by Andersama. does anyone here use it with OBS 28 with success?

[visual lantern]

Hold on

[solid shoal]

but even tho ive set the cam on browser as virtual cam

when i actually go on whatever site i allow camera perms

it says that ive set it to deny camera

when its enabled

and also it sets it to just straight obs cam

[visual lantern]

Startup virtual cam, no one to your Chrome settings and then go to camera. Then change the camera to virtual cam.

*then go to

[visual lantern]

I just use the standard OBS audio mixer. But I do have plans later to start using reaper

That wasn't supposed to ping you

[sage bane]

I been using Reaper with 0bs for 2 years now. works great

[visual lantern]

May I ask what you do?

[sage bane]

My issue right now is I cannot get help with my streamelements issue. i can hear my alerts by chat cannot hear anything.

I am a music producer, guitarist, composer, video game music. film, tv everything

[visual lantern]

... couldn't you just do that with the obs mixer and just set the monitor to on?

[sage bane]

something is broken, i might have to reinstall the links maybe i dunno, going to spend a few days tinkering, no one here knew the answer in the other discussion board

[visual lantern]

Why do you specifically want the SE alerts to go through Reaper?

[sage bane]

they go to obs not reaper. I might just do all my alerts over again now. a lot of work

[quiet bramble]

I've used it in the past and it worked fine, as well as the voicemeeter-asio plugin. My last usage of it was with OBS 26.1.1, however there are newer versions available for OBS 27.x and 28.x, but I haven't personally used them yet.

[sage bane]

It looks like it was updated or something 3 months ago. it is just hard to day. I didn't want to take the chance not being able to use it with obs 28

[quiet bramble]

https://github.com/Andersama/obs-asio/releases/tag/v3.1.1 says "For obs-studio v28.x.x"

3.1.0 says it requires OBS 27, and 2.0.3 says it is built for 26.x

[visual lantern]

I use that thing, what do you need help with?

[open lintel]

It stopped working when I updated OBS to V28.. Which was just today.

I downloaded the V28 supported version of the plugin

Still no dice.

It was working right before I updated OBS.

[visual lantern]

Are the phones on the same network as you're computer?

Please make sure you absolutely have the 28th version. It won't work on 27

You're welcome, I get to go home and figure out how to use three cameras with advanced scene transitions while also keeping an overlay on top and while also figuring out if I press the hide button to hide it on all the screens instead of just one lmao

[open lintel]

Using a bot will help with that for sure if OBS doesn't do it on its own.

Okay, reinstalling the app did not help.

[visual lantern]

Well I'm wanting it to be a mixture of channel point controlled and to automatically unless I press a button then just stop on the main cam

[open lintel]

A bot can do that yes

lol

[visual lantern]

It could very well be that the phone that you have is no longer supported with Droid

Which wouldn't make any sense

[open lintel]

I have my cameras moving around via voice command, and channel points to add filters or move their locations.

Mods have access to use chat commands to change camera location and size depending on what I am doing

[visual lantern]

[open lintel]

I'm using the S22 galaxy thing.
Is there a way I can uninstall the ADB, Droid Plugin, etc. And try again

[visual lantern]

That might help

[open lintel]

But how do I do that

hahaha

[open lintel]

Hmm?

[visual lantern]

What do you stream on Twitch

We've excited my limited knowledge of OBS stuff. I would assume in the plugins folder you could uninstall it. The route that I would take was just to download a fresh new install and then download it over the old one

[open lintel]

Gaming , mostly, a good amount of Just chatting.

but I also have channel points to have people control the game to make things interesting. Like a channel point that would automatically press G on my keyboard where in some games, would drop my item like a Gun in valorant in the middle of a fight.

Or they spammed a channel point that had me drink all my potions in Elden ring in the past.

[visual lantern]

That sounds fun LMAO

Honestly I'm a musician on Twitch, but if I was to play Minecraft I would do something like that

[open lintel]

hahah, yeah, channel points to auto change ytour cam locations, or activate other cams would be a good idea depending on your studio!

Ive seen some cheap ones friends use , that can be mapped to anything

@visual lantern I FIXED IT. ALSO THANK YOU FOR THE FOLLOW.

[quiet bramble]

I've got a Behringer FCB1010 foot controller. Haven't hooked it up to OBS yet, but plan to fiddle with that in the future.

[visual lantern]

To control aitum with it

You should try it

[open lintel]

Ergh. I just looked it up.

From what I can tell, it looks like it just connects to obs, and you assign a trigger to have it activate things in OBS. like switching scenes, muting, making sources visible.. etc.

[open lintel]

That sounds fancy. Can;t say I heard of it. xD

[silver wing]

does anyone knows/have a plugin for modifying browser source CSS? it should behave like a normal filter without adding another browser source

[quiet bramble]

You can edit CSS right in the Browser Source properties. The integrated browser functionality is not extensible with plugins.

[regal breach]

That property can be modified by scripts

@silver wing

If you can edit it in obs ui, then it's definitely modifiable by scripts

[silver wing]

yes, i know that field, though, im currently wondering if that field is modifiable via filter plugin

[silver wing]

this one, do you have any resources or already-made plugin existed?

[regal breach]

Yes, same thing. You just have to get the filter's parent

!scripting

[oblique yew]

A guide for getting started with development for scripting in OBS can be found on the wiki.

Additionally, you can find documentation for the scripting API here.

[regal breach]

For a plugin that does that specifically? I don't know any

[silver wing]

well, i was just wondering, if using plugin with single browser source will lessen the load of having multiple browser source, when what i need is a single(or several, small) changes to same browser overlay.. for example, for chat overlay, when placed on the left, its elements shown aligned to the left, and if its on the right, its aligned to the right. currently using 2 browser sources, and im looking via task manager, every browser source is taking quite a bit of ram

[quiet bramble]

sure, pretty much all properties of sources/filters etc. are modifiable by scripts

[regal breach]

So, it would be based on the current browser url. Should be possible

Now whether that ram difference is actually a problem, probably not

Unless you reach like 99% ram

Even in that case, I'd just suggest upgrading ram

[silver wing]

hahaha.. right

thanks for the insights. i think i found what i need

When using The Multiple RTMP plugin for YouTube specifically, it says I'm live in OBS, but I always have to stop the stream to YouTube, then start it back up manually before the Stream makes it's way to YouTube for some reason. Anyone have any idea what's up with that?

[keen mantle]

One thing that has always annoyed me about OBS and loom is that I can't record videos in a take-by-take way. As a result, I must post-edit each of my videos in a video editing program just to merge all the single clips.

That's why I created the Quic OBS extension, which allows you to record videos one clip at a time.

If you want early-access to the plugin, send me a DM; your feedback would be extremely valuable 🙂

after each take you can decide if you want to keep it and record the next one

[fossil wyvern]

what do you mean record video one clip at a time?

isn't that redundant with the pause recording function?

[quiet bramble]

or just pressing stop recording + start recording... I guess we have to see the addon to see how it works and differs from what one can already do?

It is nice to have a variety of ways of doing certain things though.

[quiet bramble]

Can you describe a bit how it works? One thing that would be cool is the ability to give recordings a user specified name at the end of recording. I know a number of people have requested that for a while.

[ruby drum]

With the advance scene plug-in, is there a way that when I start OBS it doesn’t start running the macros? I want it to just start when the stream starts (also I have that option activated) but they start when I open OBS

[obsidian agate]

Yes, there is an option in the Advanced Scene Switcher main window that lets you disable that

[ruby drum]

You know where?

[polar hazel]

Hi guys, i've been updating OBS to 28.1.2 and of course streamFX wasn't working anymore

on their website, it says that the minimum obs studio version is 28.0

but i've tried multiple times to reinstall and it doesn't work. Any idea ?

Thank you

[quiet bramble]

The "minimum OBS Studio" version on the website is restricted to certain specific values by the website and not reflective of the actual supported releases. Use the StreamFX release notes on GitHub for proper OBS compatibility information.

[obsidian agate]

the latest beta release of StreamFX (0.12.0 beta 164) is only compatible with OBS 29

beta releases are accessed from the "Releases" tab at the top of their GitHub page. The one via the GitHub sidebar is for OBS 27

StreamFX 0.12.0 Alpha 151 is the most recent v28 compatible version of the plugin

everything after is specifically for v29

like in one scene i have this media that says pop up and they work. but if i add the same media to another scene its not showing anything in the new scene @regal breach

[regal breach]

show that in the new scene

[ruby drum]

in the top left corner u can see how it goes

[regal breach]

what does advanced scene switcher have to do with this? do you have a macro that restart the media?

take a screenshot of your macros

[regal breach]

well, that timer is already down to 0

[ruby drum]

idk i just want to have the macros on a different scene too but the media its not showing

[ruby drum]

yes but why i cant see the media on a different scene?

[regal breach]

if you play the same media source, it will show up on all the scenes it is in

stay in that new scene

then click Run macro

[ruby drum]

oh i see, i had to start all the macros, so dumb me, sorry. :/

[regal breach]

you just didnt set up your macros correctly

or when the timer went down to 0, you didnt look in that new scene

[ruby drum]

yes exactly

but now its working, thanks!!

[dusky river]

Hi team, I'm sure this has already come up. Can anyone help me with the crackling audio issue with NDI on my stream pc?

[mortal harbor]

what is the issue?

if it's robotic audio, try installing this version https://github.com/DDRBoxman/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.10.1

[dusky river]

Yeah, basically that. Stuttery and robotic

will give this a try

[dusky river]

Fixed! Thank you very much

[polar hazel]

That's the version i have and it's still not working for some reasons

[quiet bramble]

You might want to try the official StreamFX Discord if encountering problems, especially with the alpha/beta releases.

[obsidian agate]

Which version? 0.12.0 beta 164 of StreamFX or the v29 beta of OBS?

[quiet bramble]

0.12.9 is a typo, the correct version is 0.12.0 beta 164 BTW

[obsidian agate]

Thanks, ill correct it. When i was replying my brain questioned me for a second on that

Thats what i get for trusting Past Me

[quiet bramble]

well, it's only one key away so... 🙂

[obsidian agate]

So is a tilde, but i rarely type 28.~.1, 🙂

Fast fat fingers 😄

[quiet bramble]

It's probably also worthwhile pointing out that dozens of people have problems installing StreamFX every day, and in 99.9% of the cases it is because they did not carefully read the release notes of StreamFX and pay close attention to what version of OBS is mandatory required for the given release of StreamFX, or they do not install it properly. Another problem I've seen a few times now is someone using OBS from the portable mode zip file but not actually configuring portable mode as required, so they're not actually using portable mode, but they're installing the plugins into the unzipped directory and OBS isn't looking there for the plugins as it is not being ran in portable mode properly. Less likely to be the issue for most people but I've seen it 3 times now in less than 2 weeks so thought I'd mention that too.

One can generally find the solution by simply reading any one of the last 50 or so support requests in StreamFX discord, which are all essentially every single person having the exact same problem.

[quiet bramble]

Hey, at least you call it a tilde properly. Most people seem to call it "that squiggly thing". 🙂

[polar hazel]

beta 164. Currently using OBS 28.1.2 (latest official release)

[obsidian agate]

Beta 164 is NOT compatible with OBS 28 at all. it is ONLY compatible with v29

[polar hazel]

oh okay

[obsidian agate]

#plugins-and-tools message

[polar hazel]

I guess I should've miss an OBS 28 compatible release

mb mb

[obsidian agate]

it doesnt help that the StreamFX release entries are inconsistant with compatibility info (the table appears in the 164 entry, but not the 151 entry).

In addition, I noticed the installer is very picky with where it needs to be pointing to when installing to a Portable OBS. You cannot just target the Portable Install folder, you have to point at the plugins folder specifically

[quiet bramble]

While the table does appear to be missing from the 151 release, sadly it seems the majority of users do not read the release notes or compatibility information anyway resulting in a steady stream of people unable to get the software installed and working every day in the StreamFX discord. I'm not sure any documentation changes would change this to be honest.

Also, the top of the release notes of the development releases have a big huge warning to not use it in production and that it should only be used for testing in isolated conditions, with a disclaimer of warranty, functionality etc. and that it comes with no support.

It's unfortunate that there is no stable release of StreamFX for OBS 28.x, but it's also at the same time very understandable.

IMHO before people ever update OBS, they should research what plugins they are using or want to use and make sure they are compatible with the OBS release they want to upgrade to first. That's unrealistic to expect though as people are given a popup notification, and even though it warns them, I believe the majority of people discount such warnings with software in general and just upgrade things and hope for the best, and probably get good results with most software most of the time so they tend to not worry about problems.

So things are kind of set up in such a way that some number of people will ultimately get themselves in a bind because people have a greater tendency to not read things, or underestimate warnings etc. It's human nature.

Hopefully the plugin manager in the future will alleviate a lot of these sort of problems though.

I think another problem, is that it's easy to envision solutions that would be ideal for end users for all of these sort of issues, but the ideal situation for end users would be a heck of a lot of effort IMHO to do in terms of not only improving the experience of finding, installing and updating/managing plugins and other tools, but also the work that would be needed to avoid compatibility issues between releases completely (if that's even possible). I don't think the incentives are there for a utopian situation like that though, and especially with volunteer driven OSS projects.

"Only the latest release is supported" is thus a common thing throughout OSS landscape as doing more than that scales up overhead on developers/projects beyond what they're incentivized to do.

I think things will improve over time though too, they always seem to. 🙂

[obsidian agate]

things dont have to be Utopian. I look at it from the web design, and really the Printing Industry, idea of "Above the Fold".

cant change human nature, only what you do in response to it

[quiet bramble]

I agree

Depends on motivation and incentive which varies from person to person too though.

[quiet bramble]

NVIDIA RTX background removal is the best solution. Requires an RTX GPU. There are several other solutions out there that work on any system, but the quality of them all is not fantastic.

[vagrant minnow]

Don't think they'll get anything RTX related on their Quadro M1200.

[visual lantern]

Okay, am I not thinking this straight? I'm wanting to pan between 4 cameras and have the overlay on top. However the overlay moves out of the way. How do i set it up where if the overlay moves, it moves for all scenes? The overlay moving in and out is three scenes. I was going to use Advanced Scene switcher so i could pause it. Or do i just sound crazy

[dark sapphire]

use a nested scene or a group

[visual lantern]

Can't group, Aitum can't support a group

[dark sapphire]

sounds like a problem for Aitum to fix 😛

[visual lantern]

Devs at Aitum say the websocket just sends them the group name, not whats inside

[dark sapphire]

Hmm, groups do seem to be a little limited in OBS-WS due to how buggy they can be. That's annoying.

[charred cloak]

i just made a plugin that allows face tracking!

you guys want it?

idk if something like that already exists though

[obsidian agate]

Do you have it on a GitHub page?

[charred cloak]

no sadly

should i just post it here?

[obsidian agate]

thats up to The Management.

[charred cloak]

ok 😦

[visual lantern]

this is what the scene does but i cant get the cameras to swap while its doing this

[smoky barn]

How do you fix this? How do you get the VR Capture to fit the canvas?

[sonic frost]

Okay so. THis is a situation that demonstrates why in most cases most people should not use the OpenVR Capture plugin, that's not even factoring in the memory leak. YOu always have to crop the top and bottom. Give me a sec to grab a command for you. What resolution is your canvas, and what headset are you using?

[smoky barn]

#windows-support to see my headset.

[sonic frost]

Awesome, Vive. that makes it easy. You need to Game Capture the SteamVR VR View. It will allow you to get a perfect 16:9 image.

The Open VR Capture plugin is generally considered deprecated. It's not gotten any updates and has a known memory leak.

[smoky barn]

Huh? That makes no sense, it'll capture the entire foreground....

[sonic frost]

Correct, and so does OpenVR capture.

Either will capture any overlays.

The only way to capture ONLY the VR application is to Game Capture the VR application itself.

[obsidian agate]

you have a few options...

1. Leave the VR capture as is, and fill in the empty space with content. Channel info, web cam of you wearing the VR headset, VTuber avatar, social media info, etc. Kinda like what I do with my Ring Fit broadcasts to fit all of my cameras in frame

2. Squish/stretch the VR capture to fit the whole 1080p canvas area (Shift Drag the red border instead of Alt-Dragging) Shift drag is stretch/squish. Alt-Drag is crop.

3. Make the VR capture overflow the canvas and only show a section of it

4. what CailanVR is suggesting 🙂

in regards to option 1 :

[sonic frost]

Oh, you could also try LIV's Smoothed First Person feature. It works for basically any game.

It's legitimately plug and play.

YOu run it, game capture the LIV output, you're golden.

[smoky barn]

Its exclusively a VR Streaming tool, I prefer not having anything in my way.

I only record VR, I do not stream it for obvious reasons (aka, old hardware that cannot stream it unless I replace it with something exotic so to speak).

[sonic frost]

It's not exclusively for VR streaming- I use it exclusively for recording.

LIV simply is a suite of VR content creation tools.

[smoky barn]

Last I checked also, it looked very poor.

i.e., it was kinda pixelated

[sonic frost]

When was the last you looked?

I only suggest it as a simple solution

If you want to do something without LIV, simply pop out the STeamVR VR View, put it on a second monitor, and game capture it.

Or if you don't have a second monitor, simply open it at the same resolution as your canvas, even if it goes offscreen game capture will successfully capture the full thing.

[smoky barn]

7 months ago, and Liv was too awkward, and its still way too awkward for me still.

1. The Liv base station clone itself is in the completely in the wrong place, when the actual base station is directly to my left.

[sonic frost]

That isn't a base station clone, it's a camera. One you can drag to anywhere within or without your playspace. But as of two months ago, LIV added support for a smoother first person view, which does not use any special camera or anything.

[smoky barn]

And how on the lords green earth am I going to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6ugPJTC7-I

[sonic frost]

Those videos were taken with an actual camera inside the headset.

[smoky barn]

That is Growling Sidewinder recording VR with his review sample of a Pimax 8KX VR.

[sonic frost]

That was not recorded with OBS, that was recorded by placing a camera lens against the VR lens.

[smoky barn]

There are no cameras inside of any VR Headset, my VR's camera for example is on the outside.

[sonic frost]

No, I'm saying he took an actual, real camera, then shoved it against the lens of the VR headset to capture the clarity.

[smoky barn]

Its on the bottom center of my VR Headset.

[smoky barn]

Nope.

That is not possible.

[sonic frost]

Are you seriously doubting me, someone who has done VR content creation for three years and is objectively more qualified to speak on this topic? I'm no longer going to help you. FInd someone else.

This is how that video was recorded.

[smoky barn]

Yeah, because, from my point of view, it is impossible to put a camera in a tight space.

[vale vine]

You can clearly see the shift when the camera moves

The shadow changes at top and bottom of image

Def a camera filming the inside screens

[sonic frost]

You can see the fresnel lens artifacting.

[vale vine]

Yup

[sonic frost]

So I gave you the advice I had, Soul. Use it or don't, I don't care. I'm not going to help someone who is being willfully obtuse.

[smoky barn]

Is that a picture of Growling Sidewinder himself holding his phone?

If not, I'm sorry, I don't believe you.

Because VR is not like that. You even said something that I witness on a daily bases while playing DCS in VR, and this is artifacting, due to my headsets age (nearly 7 years old now).

[vale vine]

You don't see that?

Looks pretty clear to me

[smoky barn]

Not Growling Siderwinder, that is just you.

[vale vine]

No. That's from the video you linked. Did you actually watch it?

[smoky barn]

He used his phone from an outside perspective, but did you actually watch it?

[vale vine]

I think you are being purposely dense(at least I hope it's purposely)

[sonic frost]

Agreed.

[smoky barn]

If you can jump into Growling Sidewinders server and prove that he is not using his headset at all to record VR, then ok cool, but, I'll remain on solid ground until then.

[sonic frost]

We are saying. He had the headset running the game. And his camera inside the headset to demonstrate clarity. THis does not take much thought to figure out, it's extremely simple.

[smoky barn]

It is not possible to record games in VR on a phone as his specs include a 3080Ti.

[sonic frost]

Okay, I don't think you're being purposely dense, I think you legitimately do not understand what we are saying.

[smoky barn]

He compares the phones 48mp camera to the lenses of the Pimax there.

[vale vine]

Time for bed

[sonic frost]

So I'm just going to disengage because you clearly do not seem to understand that you can record a screen with a camera, and that VR headsets are just screens with lenses.

[smoky barn]

Yeah, everyone in Growling's server is agreeing with me that he compared his phone to his headset.

And therefore definitely used his PC to record the VR.

[hard jay]

I think you're talking about something completely different than they are.

[smoky barn]

Yeah, GS (short for Growling Sidewinder), never used his phone which is, don't get me wrong, a computer itself, but, again, he definitely recorded VR and I need to know how to do exactly the same.

Without using anything 3rd party as the stuff has only ever worked against me, not going to lie.

[spiral ruin]

Maybe I missed this... Have you asked GS?

[hard jay]

In the video they linked, they didn't record directly from the headset.

They used a camera pointed at the VR headset lens. Either a webcam, or DSLR camera.

That is not direct VR capture, though there is a plugin for OBS that will allow you to do direct VR capture if that's your goal.

OpenVR Capture.

Should work for most VR headsets.

[sonic frost]

It's generally considered deprecated, and usually most in the VR community recommend using LIV, SteamVR's VR View, or Oculus Mirror.

[hard jay]

And many VR games just have a separate "spectator" view window that opens you can capture with game capture anyway.

[hard jay]

Ah, fair enough then.

[sonic frost]

Has a known memory leak when running a source without a VR app running.

[smoky barn]

Yeah, no answer from GS himself, but his community is completely against Cailan, and Matt.

[hard jay]

Well, his community is, and no offense here, being pretty dumb about that.

There is 0 chance that was recorded with anything but an external camera.

[sonic frost]

I think you seem to be under the assumption that we said the game was running on a phone.

[smoky barn]

Steam VR's VR View is where?

[hard jay]

You can see the physical lens in all those clips.

That doesn't show up in actual VR capture directly from the headset.

[smoky barn]

I went through Steam VR's settings completely and found no such setting.

[smoky barn]

That's an image of Steam VR yes, but where is Steam VR View? Is it a setting?

[spiral ruin]

You mean his community and this community don't agree on how it was accomplished.

[sonic frost]

That is a video. Showing you exactly where to click.

[smoky barn]

Ahh, damn, I though it was an image.

Hey heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyy 😄

About time, cheers. Now I know how GS Records his VR.

[hard jay]

In everything but that video, likely. :)

[sonic frost]

He used the VR View for the outro, but the clips Soul linked were 1000% recorded using a camera of some kind.

[hard jay]

from 7:30+ yeah it was a direct capture.

Everything before that was with an external camera of some kind.

[sonic frost]

And given that most youtubers using high end cameras will mention such alongside their specs, I am most likely correct in assuming they used a smartphone camera.

[hard jay]

I'm baffled by the argument that they didn't do that

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sonic frost]

I was baffled the discussion was going on when I came back.

[hard jay]

But, doesn't matter

[sonic frost]

It's donezo now.

[hard jay]

The desired end result was achieved.

[smoky barn]

Not anymore, because VR View is completely blank.

Man, Discord's upload feature refuses to work sometimes.

[grim dawn]

Ok I've come from the other discord (against my better judgement I may add) to clear some things up as people seem very confused, for good reason. It appears soulend here is trying to record his VR mirror. I suggested that there was OBS plugins as an option, and he's ended up here to try and figure out what's what. Somewhere along the line, the ONLY video that Growling Sidewinder has on his channel about VR that isn't a recording of a desktop mirror or DCS Replay system, got linked, and got everyone involved very confused.

[hard jay]

The confusion was lack of listening, mostly :p We got to the actual conclusion and what the actual question was. Seems it was just an unfortunate exception that was linked as the example.

[grim dawn]

After having another look I'm almost 100% certain that the videos he's trying to recreate are played in VR, but then recorded afterwards on flatscreen using the DCS replay system (which saves head movement)

[hard jay]

The video linked was recorded by pointing a camera at the VR headset itself, not a monitor.

[grim dawn]

Oh definitely

https://youtu.be/t2TtvErpz40 this one on the other hand definitely wasn't

[hard jay]

Quite, quite.

[grim dawn]

Anyway I'm out, glad we cleared that up...

[obsidian agate]

definitely recorded with an external camera, since you can easily see the edge of the viewport of the VR goggles, and a reflection off of the lens.

From my garbage mobile phone goggles, photo taken with my phone.

[hard jay]

Let's move this to #off-topic at this point, should have encouraged that ages ago :p

[sonic frost]

It will only display when both the game is running and the headset is on your head.

[sonic frost]

Just a heads up by the way- the OpenVR Capture plugin is considered deprecated. It has been left unupdated for quite some time, and has a known memory leak that takes place if the source is active but no VR applications are running. So for the most part, it's generally recommended to use either SteamVR's VR View, Oculus Mirror, the VR application itself if it has a desktop view, or LIV. The plugin is usually avoided.

[untold jay]

ya, the openvr input plugin is only useful if you need to produce a 3d sbs vr video, 2d views can be captured by other means

[smoky barn]

Figured that out very quickley.

[spiral ruin]

Do you have a physical green screen ?

[visual lantern]

Usually in filters using Chroma Key

[white wave]

how do i make it so that all my nested Move Source filters don't trigger every time i open a scene or boot up obs? i have to go and manually reset each one every time i open right now and it's so tedious!

[regal breach]

you should set a move filter plugin to reset them

https://github.com/foxx1337/obs-asio/releases/tag/v3.1.2-bassasio

The buffer size (preferred) keeps changing on the ASIO plugin if you change it to anything other than 512. I run 64 on my SSL2 and changed it to 64 also in OBS ASIO plugin.

I have no idea what the preferred value should be but I guess if you can run it as low as possible without any pops and crackles in audio for the lowest latency the "preferred" value can be ignored.

[white wave]

i do but when i boot up obs i have to go into each scene and hit trigger the move filter button for each source... is there no way to make it so they just dont trigger unless they are manually triggered? i think right now they are triggering whenever obs sees the source as visible (i did tell the condition, though, to triggr on filter activation, not source visibility)

[regal breach]

if you want them to be triggered manually, set them to trigger on hotkey, not when activated

or you could just not make it trigger automatically, then turn on the filter yourself

[white wave]

i just dont want them triggering by themselves

in fact i am using subactions in stremaer.bot to trigger them, i never should be touching them myself in a perfect world

so i have streamer.bot enabling scene filter (move source) visibility for example

[regal breach]

yeah

and i gave you the solution

the default option literally does what you want

[white wave]

ohh ok cool

so then i would tell streamer.bot to press a hotkey if i want to sstart it?

sorry never used hotkeys before so want to make surei understand

[knotty osprey]

Is StreamFX the only way I can get a 3D transform on a Source? I am currently using V 28.1.2 of OBS.

[regal breach]

that, or make streamer bot enable the filter

either works

[mortal harbor]

yes.

[white wave]

great. ok let me try that! thank you CodeYan

[knotty osprey]

Ok thanks. I am pretty sure StreamFX doesn't work with the latest OBS....but I could be wrong

[mortal harbor]

the latest beta of streamFX works w/ the OBS v29 beta, the last alpha is compatible with OBS v28, the last stable release is compatible with OBS v27

[knotty osprey]

ok thank you for the help @mortal harbor

[vale vine]

@obsidian agate you've been playing with source clone. Are you able to get it to work on a vlc source?

[obsidian agate]

havent tested that yet, one sec

[obsidian agate]

i am guessing you have the VLC Source on a different scene than the SOurce Clone?

[vale vine]

That'd be the issue I'm seeing, yep

[obsidian agate]

enable the "Active Clone" checkbox

since the VLC Source is not active when in a different scene

[vale vine]

Oh you big brained sonnuva gun

[obsidian agate]

not that big, kinda smooth in places, but thank you 😄

[vale vine]

Just installed it and trying to play about with it. Unfortunately I can't fully yeet streamfx as I do use its color correction filter

[obsidian agate]

now Exeldro just needs to make a 3D Transform, maybe Dynamic Mask plugin, and I can maybe dump StreamFX 😄

isnt Color Correction part of base OBS? or do you mean Color Grading?

[vale vine]

Maybe color grading

The base one isn't in depth enough

[mortal harbor]

i just need a solid blur filter and i can get rid of streamFX if anyone has suggestions

i don't think it exists outside of there though?

[untold jay]

@mortal harbor you can downscale and upscale with two scale filters, is that good enough?

[obsidian agate]

3D Transform?

[untold jay]

@obsidian agate that's from streamfx, too

[mortal harbor]

really looking for a gaussian blur look though.

[untold jay]

use streamfx, then

[mortal harbor]

yes that is the current setup.

[obsidian agate]

oh, "Scaling/Aspect Ratio" is the one you mean

[untold jay]

i don't see any issues here
do you see any issues here?

[obsidian agate]

(Dwarf Fortress) There are no issues in the Eastern Swamps

[vale vine]

I'd ultimately just not want to rely on streamfx for anything. But til that day, fingers crossed no crashy crash because I'm steering clear of getting help with it

[untold jay]

why not? keep using 27.2.4 and you're golden, unless you want to produce hdr or 10bit content

[vale vine]

Staying on an old version of obs can't be the answer for everything

[obsidian agate]

im just having those occasional "stream fx crashed when I quit OBS because it didnt let go of the renderer like it should have" type of crashes.

Its when I wish there was a dedicated "Save Settings" button in OBS, just to make dead sure my current Profile/Scene Collection is safe

[vale vine]

Well, not for everyone

[untold jay]

@obsidian agate you can switch scenes to trigger a "save settings" event

[mortal harbor]

i have had zero streamFX crashes but would just prefer to ditch it.

[obsidian agate]

i need to get that Scene Collection Manager plugin rolling again, so i have multiple backups of each collection

[untold jay]

@vale vine oh no, i haven't updated in 60 days, 1 hour and 50 seconds, how will i survive this? i'm dying, i need my updates~

[obsidian agate]

may still cause a crash since it has to go thru the shutdown and release the renderer process before switching to the other collection

[untold jay]

@obsidian agate scenes, not scene collections

[vale vine]

It's not that. What happens when twitch has api change? Or new features that I can indeed take advantage of(like hdr which I do have) come out

[obsidian agate]

AH, gotcha, misread

[untold jay]

@vale vine if they're unstable, wait for them to become stable, or take the risk and suffer the consequences as they come

[vale vine]

But as you are someone that still clings to win7, we have base philosophical differences

[untold jay]

"clings"? i need it for troubleshooting, among other things, and i have a number of applications that perform very poorly on 10

[quiet bramble]

The only one I'm aware of is the gaussian shader in OBS Shaderfilter.

[obsidian agate]

just made a scene with a single image in it, called "Free Parking", and its just a picture of the Monopoly Free Parking space 😄

[quiet bramble]

Darklink's script pack might also, I'd have to doublecheck as I haven't used that in a few years.

[mortal harbor]

yeah installing shaderfilter is something else i'd like to avoid so streamFX for now it is 🙂

[quiet bramble]

Understandable, Exeldro's fork of Shaderfilter works with 28.x mind you. 🙂

[obsidian agate]

thats the one im using, and it seems to work fine on v29. but i also live on the edge with this stuff, even more now with Portable Installs 😄

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, I'm in the process of converting various shaders into standalone LUA scripts presently in order to give them a better user interface and finer grained property controls. Shaderfilter is great for prototyping new shaders, but the properties UI is terrible for end user usage scenarios.

[obsidian agate]

OH YEAH, I gotta download and try out Browser Transition soon

also, big thanks to Exeldro for the Source Copy plugin. That was a HUGE help in rebuilding my Scene Collection. Running 2 copies of OBS, then using that plugin to port over sources with little effort is wonderful

[crisp nexus]

hey how do i replace the countdown clocks with my own

if it is uploaded from plugin

[wintry wedge]

I'm curious, does anyone who uses the shader plugin know how to create a heat displacement?
Sort like the ones in after effects?

[sharp acorn]

any1 know what the overclock settings are supposed to be set at for 3070ti? Mason set 5 different saves for me & i was switching from 1 to 2 , then I hit save and im pretty sure I seen all the numbers change??

[quiet bramble]

Not familiar with After Effects features, but are you looking for something that is like a fake pseudo thermal imaging filter?

[wintry wedge]

Not thermal imaging, but like what you see on a hot day. where everything is semi wavy looking because of the heat

[quiet bramble]

ah, I see what you mean

You'd simply add an offset to the uv coordinates that gets passed to the texture sampler, reading pixels at an offset from the actual pixel. You'd need something to generate the offset, whether it was something like perlin noise or some other noise generator, or something region aware or whatnot.

image.Sample( textureSampler, v_in.uv.xy + offset.xy); with something generating the offset prior to that.

If you have an example video or video clip, showing the particular type of effect you'd like to see, I might be able to offer some other tips/ideas.

[quiet bramble]

Something like this? This one is somewhat of a simplified concept of that:
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/td3GRn

[wintry wedge]

Yes! Definitely something like that. Obviously more tuned in, but yes!
I was I'm new to the plugin in, so I'm not really sure how to work everything to the specifics I have in mind.

I also know a small bit of code, but not enough to make proper sense of what to mess with

I initially thought the plugin might have used videos, but naw haha

[quiet bramble]

I'll port that Shadertoy shader to OBS Shaderfilter and add some configurable properties to it, see what funstuffs can come out of it... 🙂

[wintry wedge]

That does seem like a good options, thanks for the tip!

[quiet bramble]

Ok, here's what it looks like running in OBS...

[quiet bramble]

It's crude but some fun to play around with. I added a few crude controls to it to manipulate it in OBS a bit.

Updated, to add an opacity control.

Making a source clone, and applying the filter to the clone with opacity at 30% gives more of a heat shimmer effect to it.

[wintry wedge]

@quiet bramble I'll give it a try soon! I'm still building what I'm gonna use on top of. But that's good to know! I appreciate all the help!

[weak escarp]

@quiet bramble do you have more shaders like this I can add to my fork of obs shader filter?

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, I've got a bunch of stuff here... I need to go through things soon, tidy some things up a bit and can probably contribute a number of useful shaders if you like. I was working on it a month or so ago and got a bit sidetracked by the time of year stuffs. 🙂

[analog ruin]

GLSL ES (shadertoy style) transpiler when? 😏

[quiet bramble]

That might be possible some day. I stumbled upon Shadertoy support for DaVinci resolve, and also Blender which I bookmarked a while back. Both OSS projects on Github IIRC, so that code could probably be convoluted into an OBS plugin sometime, and in theory possibly even support multipass/buffer shaders from Shadertoy, which would be pretty cool.

I still need to nerd-up my plugin game tho. 😛

Those might require OpenGL though, so that could be tricky without OBS in OpenGL mode on Windows.

I think if I played around with that, I'd probably do it in Linux

[analog ruin]

Yeah, I got it working in Resolve, and a little python-ffmpeg script, which I am quite happy with.
I looked into several transpiler projects but its.. Apparently pretty hard 😅

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, that level of stuff is a bit over my head ATM. Xaymar could probably do that sort of thing if he was into the idea though, he seems very knowledgeable in that area.

It just occurred to me, and I'd have to search to verify it to be certain... but I think Magic music visualizer has OpenGL shader support that includes Shadertoy support which can be used between OBS with Spout

It's not open source, nor free, but is something one could explore... I bookmarked it for possible future nerdout.

Yep, I just checked and can confirm Magic supports Shadertoy and GL Sandbox shaders directly.

https://magicmusicvisuals.com/features

Something like that might also be helpful as a tool in creating similar feature for an OBS plugin.

There are some other WebGL sites out there also like Shaderoo, shader.how, nodetoy

Hi, I as wondering if I could get some help with the Source Record Plugin.

Unfortunately when it is installed to OBS it causes my system sounds to cut in and out.

When it is not installed to OBS everything works fine as normal for the last however long I have used OBS.

Things I have tried;

• Downloading the Installer Zip
• Manual Install and putting the files in the correct place (even double checked with guides to ensure correct placement)
• Fresh OBS Install
• Running OBS in non-Admin Mode and Admin Mode (as i normally would)
• Changing audio sources

This is a great and highly rated plugin that I would love to utilise.

TIA

[fossil wyvern]

!log can you send a log with it installed?

[oblique yew]

A current log file is required to help fix your issue. Please post a link to your current log file.

• In OBS select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.
• Click Copy URL and then paste the link here.

[little ledge]

Yep sure give me 2 seconds to pop it back on. I needed to uninstall to watch some videos to try and fix it haha. Np 1 sec

This is also causing my camera to not work at all or freeze. I just noticed it

[fossil wyvern]

for the camera check if reverting to nvidia drivers 522.30 fixes it

oh wait, might be smth else

[little ledge]

ok it just finished the initial install of the 522.30 driver. i am on the licence agreement stage, want me to hold here for a second?

[fossil wyvern]

nah, go forth with it, even if it doesn't solve it, that eliminates a potential cause

and reboot your computer after

[little ledge]

ok will do

ty

[little ledge]

I got this when I closed OBS could this be the python script?

[analog ruin]

still yes 😂

[fossil wyvern]

you don't have any python script loading oin the last log you sent

[analog ruin]

yes they do

12:57:43.950: [obs-scripting]: Loaded python script: rust-map.py

[little ledge]

strange as it stopped and its back again intermittently, I might need to find another way around this press and release script. had it for months no issue until i did a windows install and new gpu 😂 all this to stop stream snipers hahaha

rebooting 1 sec

[fossil wyvern]

fuck me, sorry was looking at the wrong log

[little ledge]

ok reboot done, camera is lagging still and sound cut in/out continuing I'm afraid.

[little ledge]

any ideas at all yet?

[little ledge]

@weak escarp I'm really sorry but is there anything you can do to help me with this please?
I can't work out if its a bug or something I have done wrong/wrong with my system.

[mortal harbor]

hey can someone help me with streamFX? I tried to install it, just as the tutorial said, but it wont show up on obs studio and i dont know what else i can try

[ruby drum]

hello! anyone know why in the advance scene plugin my macros used to pup op on the screen but know they dont

[mortal harbor]

oh im in the wrong channel

[quiet bramble]

StreamFX has specific OBS version requirements for each release, both stable, alpha, and betas. The most common problem people have installing StreamFX and getting it to work, is installing a StreamFX version that is not compatible with their OBS release. The release notes for each StreamFX release indicate the required version of OBS Studio that must be used. At the present time there is no stable release of StreamFX for OBS 28.x, and the last stable release only works with OBS 27.2.4. There is an unsupported alpha build of StreamFX which is not recommended for production or serious use that is built for OBS 28.x, and the most recent beta of StreamFX only works with OBS Studio 29.0.0beta2 and newer.

[mortal harbor]

that explains so much.... thank you! you dont know another plugin to give me a blur filter by any chance?

[quiet bramble]

There is only one other that I'm aware of presently, which is the gaussian blur shader found in OBS Shaderfilter, however it is unoptimized and doesn't come close to the number of features that the StreamFX Blur filter has, but it does work. Also, whether you use StreamFX or the OBS Shaderfilter blur shader, you can greatly reduce the burden on your GPU by putting an OBS Scaling/Aspect filter before the blur effect and scaling down to 1/3 resolution, then put the blur filter/shader, then put another Scaling/Aspect filter after the blur set to "Scale to Canvas". With the first scale filter set to 1/3 of the resolution, it will reduce the burden on the GPU to 1/9th, which can make a massive performance difference, while also helping blur a bit.

[mortal harbor]

thank you! I will try that

[quiet bramble]

No prob. Let me know how it all works out for ya.

[noble minnow]

I’m not real sure where to ask this and I hope I can make it make sense. On my stream I spin a wheel and put my viewers in a “team” and they all compete to get the most points for said team. So each viewer will be in a team. So my question is. Is there any way I could do personalized titles by their names? Sort of how they do the pronouns for example “BlissWylde[he/they]” but instead of the pronoun we do “BlissWylde[team trixie]”. If I need to move this question elsewhere or if someone can dm me. Thank you so much in advance

[regal breach]

isnt this a question about the wheel you spin?

[noble minnow]

I already have all of that down. I just need to figure out a way to give said chatter a title of you will like they do with pronouns. We may not even be able to.

[regal breach]

title where?

is that a Twitch chat thing?

[noble minnow]

By their name. Like they do with pronouns. Yeah. Twitch. So we already have where we can do pronouns from a 3rd party app. But I was wondering if there was a way to edit them to be able to personalize it to say what you want. It’s a stretch but it would just make things so much easier. I thank you all for any time regarding this confusing matter haha

[regal breach]

what's that 3rd party app?

[rough kindle]

does anyone know how u can get ur chat to look like that on stream ?

[regal breach]

you use the custom CSS property on the browser source in obs

[rough kindle]

ok ty i'll take a look

[noble minnow]

Can I post a link here?

[regal breach]

link to the 3rd party app? yes

[noble minnow]

https://pronouns.alejo.io/

[long flame]

You can. The integrated cam is just a plugin that comes with OBS

[regal breach]

looks to me like the user themselves set their own pronouns?

then that means you can't set their pronouns

you might need a different extension altogether

though https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/twitch-teams?language=en_US#create

seems like there's already a twitch feature like that, though i'm not sure whether it's possible to edit the teams via code

[noble minnow]

Okay @regal breach I appreciate you so much friend!

Instructions on how to install or build OBS Studio can be found here:

https://obsproject.com/wiki/Install-Instructions

[regal breach]

there are scripts in ci/linux folder of that repo

you tried the install-dependencies script?

that's what you need

then you build

[wary escarp]

You need to build libobs (the OBS backend) to compile plugins against it

Follow the instructions for building OBS given above
If you only want libobs you’ll have to use cmake manually, but it’s fine to just build the entirety (takes a bit longer)

Been awhile since I checked in on this has their been any movement, updates or release on the Virtual Plugin to support multiple cameras in the newest version of OBS? Sorry if I missed it somewhere else but havent been able to find any updates. Cheers Thank you

[mortal harbor]

that plugin is no longer supported/being updated.

[regal breach]

there's a fork for obs 28+ https://github.com/Avasam/obs-virtual-cam/releases but it's not going to be supported

[plucky ferry]

is there any way to disable this

I have a separate login for video recording

[lament leaf]

Just set it to simple at the top and a lot of the advanced features will go away.

As far as disabling it as a whole, I don't think you will be able to.

[mortal harbor]

@quiet bramble it worked just as you said! thank you!

[quiet bramble]

Good to hear!

[unique pollen]

hey @weak escarp !

This is rob from the production team at PleasrDAO. We are currently producing a fairly large professional live show and we rely heavily on MacOS and your move transition plugin to operate out streams.

We are trying to reaching out to see if there is a way you can update your "Move Transition" plugin to be compatible with Apple Silicon chips.

We would be willing to pay to expedite the development and we are hoping you have time to prioritize this request because "Move Transition" is the most important plugin in our core workflow and enables everything we do in our production.

We are currently forced to use Intel Macs due to "Move Transition" being the only plugin we use that hasn't been updated for apple silicon and our Intel Macs are really struggling to handle the load of our livestreams. Updating the plugin would allow us to move fully to apple silicon computers and unlock a ton of power.

Thank you so much for the amazing work you've done. Look forward to hearing back

[fossil wyvern]

isn't "ARM64" the one for silicon?

[wary escarp]

yes, both arm64 and universal

[unique pollen]

on the OBS plugin compatibility list it's listed as "in-progress"

its done???

[fossil wyvern]

oh the compatibility list might not be 100% up to date

[wary escarp]

Looks like it, I'll update the page

[unique pollen]

damn well that's incredible in that case -- ill update!

[fossil wyvern]

what's the issue?

Hey so does anybody here use the Source Record plugin?

[fossil wyvern]

quite a few people do, what's your issue?

[sage slate]

It literally just doesn't work for me, for some reason?

I've been trying to capture my cam footage separate from my gameplay footage for weeks now.

I downloaded the plugin and it just doesn't seem to capture anything.

Even with all of the settings configured.
