#

does source record rename the encoders?

mortal harbor
#

no why?

fossil wyvern
#

shouldn't it be called NENC (ffmpeg)?

sage slate
#

What else am I suppose to change?

#

I set it to NVENC.

fossil wyvern
sage slate
#

Ig I test it now?

#

OH MY GOD I THINK IT WORKS???

fossil wyvern
#

👍

sage slate
#

THIS IS A LIFE CHANGING MOMENT FOR ME RN.

#

🐐

fossil wyvern
#

👍 glad it works

sage slate
#

Thank you as well.

#

As you have found, the Move Transition plugin is available for Apple Silicon. Everything should work fine, but I have not been able to test it myself. Let me know if you find any issues or if there are features you are missing.

How can I make a source with OBS_SOURCE_COMPOSITE show up on the audio mixer?

#

trying to create private media sources, but they wouldn't show up on the audio mixer

dark sapphire
#

I know cg PR'd a thing that'd allow you to add additional sources to the audio mixer

#

I don't remember if it has been merged

untold jay
#

@fossil wyvern @sage slate if you're using source record, choose "NVENC" as the encoder, this was added by Exeldro to dodge the issues with the built-in's and plugins' nvenc implementations

sorry no idea about that, I haven't used Adobe software for the last 20 years

Oh ok

Really long time

I'll try to figure out a way

plain shell
#

Anybody know the best way to stream to a wordpress website with as little latency as possible? We're currently using restream but some guys on the team aren't loving it.

analog ruin
#

what is the current latency?

plain shell
#

15 seconds

analog ruin
#

and how are you measuring?

#

oh damn

#

using your custom built nginx thingy?

plain shell
plain shell
flint depot
analog ruin
#

what platform are you streaming to after restream?

plain shell
# flint depot VDO.Ninja?

we're trying to embedd the stream on our website, and youtube channel while also streaming to our discord(which is running separate of course

flint depot
plain shell
analog ruin
#

is the 15 sec on YT or on discord?

plain shell
#

on the website

analog ruin
#

which is embedding youtube?

plain shell
#

When I say we haven't set it up yet I mean we haven't let our members see it yet

flint depot
#

Is YT set to low latency?

plain shell
#

the youtube latency is actually less as about 5-10 seconds

analog ruin
#

that sounds high for low latency

plain shell
#

that's actually ok

analog ruin
#

ah, 5-10, yes

#

sorry, I didnt read before hitting enter, heh

plain shell
analog ruin
#

so, its the discord latency? How are you embedding a discord stream on the website?

flint depot
#

It seems there is also ultra low latency

analog ruin
#

there is, but it hurts 😅

flint depot
plain shell
#

basically I'm thinking if there's a good wordpress plugin that doesn't break the bank that we could use or something on the website

flint depot
#

It's in Dutch but yeah

flint depot
#

If you are not running multiple quality levels and such, that is also a CPU/GPU load

analog ruin
#

I'd just embed the YT stream on the website, and be happy with 5-10sec latency

plain shell
#

yeah I was looking into that but we didn't want the stream branded with youtube it might be the way to go though

analog ruin
#

livestreaming is very expensive. Even at 100 viewers, its likely going to cost you, as I don't think you'll be able to run that on a simple VPS

#

you're looking at a full scale streaming solution, potentially with transcoding and a ton of bandwidth

#

so I think you (or someone) needs to have a hard think of that little yt logo is worth potentially thousands a month to remove

#

maybe around 450 USD (per week) for 150 viewers, 3 hour stream, 3 time a week

#

thats just the CDN cost

On the compatibility page "Freeze Filter", "Dynamic Delay" and "Recursion Effect" are set as not available for macOS (Apple), but they are available

minor oriole
#

Hello all. Please, help me. I need to add a pause to the script between the activation and deactivation of the filter in the scene. How can I add a little delay here?

regal breach
# minor oriole

is that the whole code? i don't see anything here related to the activation and deactivation

regal breach
#

@weak escarp sorry for the ping, but i haven't really seen other plugins that do the same. In your Source Switcher plugin, how did you get it to show the video of media sources? i have been fiddling with my plugins for days, and i still can't get a video to show up on my custom source. Also, would your plugin work in theory, if you added a private media source and displayed that? Cause that's what I'm trying to do (i did use obs_source_add_active_child and obs_source_video_render), but maybe the fact that it's private is the reason why i can't get it to work? Also, is the transition needed for displaying the video if there's only one child source?

weak escarp
#

Transition is not needed, in the render of the source call the render of the private source. Do you also have the enum (active) child functions?

regal breach
#

oh!

#

wait

#

oh i do have it

#

.enum_active_sources = mps_enum_sources,

#

although you seem to have 2 enum functions

#

the image slideshow only has the enum_active_sources so mine also has that one only

#

what's the difference? the "all" one includes inactive sources?

weak escarp
#

Yes

regal breach
#

thank you, added it, but it seems that it still doesnt show a video

#

get_duration on the private media source returns 0, even though its state is playing

#

would this be enough to display the video of the child source?

wary escarp
#

should be, yes

regal breach
#

thanks

#

is there another function that i need to trigger the media source to activate? i already used obs_source_add_active_child in .create

#

and i even did obs_source_media_play_pause(mps->current_media_source, false); in _activate

weak escarp
#

I can look at it tomorrow

regal breach
#

note: i also tried to replace OBS_SOURCE_COMPOSITE with OBS_SOURCE_AUDIO, because i wanted it to show up in the audio mixer (apparently you cant add private sources to the mixer yet)

regal breach
#

Ummm, it might have been simple stupidity of mine

#

I used "path" to set the path in the ffmpeg source instead of "input". Arrogance took the best of me and I didn't double check the source of ffmpeg source (even though I keep going back to it for other parts of the code). This might be the issue. I'll have to verify in the morning, but really, why do solutions pop up when you're about to sleep?

my web cam is ELGATO-facecam

here are my steps:

  2. Download streamfx-macos-10.15-0.11.1.0-g81a96998.pkg from this tutorial https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-StreamFX/wiki/Installation

Am i missing something ?

Has anyone else had issues with the StreamDeck plugin since the last major update? The buttons don't seem to work, I have to constantly delete and reconfigure buttons to get them to work... But using the Barraider version seems to be a lot more stable?

#

I've installed the available updates when I'm aware of them too

atomic yew
#

Just got my gaming machine & a streaming machine setup with OBS & can see my gaming machine on the streaming but the audio seems to cut in & out. Ideas?

OBS 28.1.2 on both machines & obs-ndi 4.10.1 plugin while ethernet on the same network

analog ruin
#

make sure both machines are running gigabit ethernet, and that the equipment between them are gigabit. 100mbit link is not enough

#

and no wifi, of course 🙂

knotty osprey
#

Is anyone here familiar with OBS Command? After I updated to the newest version I can't seem to figure out how to toggle filters.

All of my other Commands seem to work....

regal breach
#

And you should show the command you're trying

knotty osprey
#

Thus is what I used before. I was using this as a launch parameter on the .exe to toggle my filters.

/password={TXT:password} /command=SetSourceFilterVisibility,sourceName={TXT:Source},filterName={TXT:Filter},filterEnabled=true

#

I'll check the old version...one sec

#

Version 1.5.7

knotty osprey
#

Yes this. I have tried using the example posted on the forums plugin page for OBS 28 and can't get it to work. If anyone has an example of a working filter toggle via launch parameter that would be amazing .

regal breach
#

/command=SetSourceFilterEnabled,sourceName="My Source",filterName="My Filter",filterEnabled=true

#

I assume that's how it's supposed to be

#

If it doesn't,show the error message

knotty osprey
#

Thanks I'll try again

knotty osprey
#

It worked. The change in code was "/command=SetSourceFilterEnabled"

I was using "/command=SetSourceFilterVisibility" previously

Thankfully the way I program my script I only had to update one line of code :)

Latest

#

and stream FX lates

#

28.1.2

vale vine
#

Latest stable? Latest alpha? Latest beta? For streamfx

vagrant minnow
#

Latest as in 29? If not, you're on the wrong StreamFX version.

winter scarab
#

Stable

vale vine
#

Latest stable is obs 27 only

winter scarab

mine says 28.1.2

vale vine
#

Correct. Latest stable for streamfx is only compatible with obs 27 though

winter scarab
#

Any idea on how to GET 3D transform

#

pls!!!

vale vine
#

Streamfx has multiple active versions. A stable, an alpha, and a beta

#

You need to install the correct version of streamfx for your version of obs

#

I'll check it thanks!!!

#

Just shows StreamFX 0.12.0 Beta 164

#

I'll have to install a new OBS I can't believe it...

Same issue Its like the audio pops in for a moment then its gone for a couple of seconds then it comes back. And I'm seeing this from the audio mixer

#

I can confirm I can hear the audio abit with crackling using a different machine running Windows 10 the same as the gaming Machine. But its one Wifi. So I think Windows 11 is causing a issue with passing the audio over

I’m having an issue where this keeps showing and I can’t stream my switch games. Can someone help me out please?

analog ruin
#

the old virtualcam plugin no longer works. You can use the new one in the bottom right (start virtualcam). The old one can be removed (wont work anyway), and you'll be rid of that message

uncut blade
#

How can I remove the old virtual cam so I can install the newer version?

#

@analog ruin

analog ruin
#

you dont need to install the newer version, it is shipped (already installed) with modern versions of OBS.

#

in order to uninstall the old one, you would normally go thru normal (add/remove programs) means of uninstalling something, like you would any other program

uncut blade
#

Ok, where’s the add/remove option on the stream setup?

uncut blade
#

Ok, the OBS plug-in issue warning is gone, but I still can’t get to stream my switch games in discord via a window application.

analog ruin
#

you are trying to use the virtual cam? @uncut blade

uncut blade
#

No

#

I don’t know how to use it

analog ruin
#

ok, then I don't know what you're trying to do, and the error message was unrelated I guess 😅

uncut blade
#

I’m trying to make it appear here to stream it, but it’s still not working.

analog ruin
#

yeah, so people usually do one of two thing:

  1. Spawn a projector in OBS, and point the discord window capture at that
  2. Hit "start virtualcam", and share your fake webcam "OBS virtual camera" in discord
uncut blade
#

How do I spawn a projector in OBS and point it at the window capture?

fossil wyvern
#

and then in discord's screen share, select the projector

uncut blade
#

Hello I was wondering if anyone would be able to answer a couple questions about the Audio Monitor plugin?

oblique yewBOT
ripe cave
#

I am just trying to figure out why it would be better to run things through Audio Monitor instead of using the built in Audio mixer. Unless you just don't want to be able to hear specific audio sounds but your stream still can?

fossil wyvern
#

from what I understand, the main interest of the audio monitor plugin is the ability to monitor to different devices

ripe cave
#

I must be missing what you gain from sending to multiple devices just to stream or record? Could you explain what you get from sending it to multiple devices?

fossil wyvern
#

idfk, I guess maybe shenanigans with VB-cable or some shit like that

#

generally, if you don't see what the use case of smth is, it probably means you don't need it

#

there's bound to be an use case though or people wouldn't have bothered coding it

vale vine
#

Exeldro tends to make things that serve a purpose to more than just a handful of people

fossil wyvern
#

yee, generally, his shit is good

ripe cave
#

I figured there was just wasn't sure if the only reason was to let you control the volume of something on your stream you didn't want to always have to hear.

lament leaf
#

I wouldn't delete it.

wary escarp
#

that's a part of OBS itself

scarlet vessel
#

ASAPI (Windows Audio Session API) is Microsoft's multi-channel audio interface for communication with audio devices.

#

you delete it you get no audio

lament leaf
#

Unless if you install a specific plugin yourself, I wouldn't uninstall anything that is in the plugin folder.

#

Or delete the files I should say

obsidian agate
#

never really a good idea to just delete files that you dont know what they do, even if you search online for information about them. Files are there for a reason 99.xxxxxxxx% of the time.

lament leaf
#

I think they deleted their comments now.

regal breach
#

Because virtual cables don't output to speakers, and the built-in "listen to this device" supports only one device

#

Furthermore, it lets you monitor the sounds of audio sources in obs using different devices. OBS atm only supports one.

#

Which means i can send specific audio to one Zoom call, and another to other

You can round the corners with a simple image mask filter, you don't need a shader for that.

I was looking into the Move Transition, if I want to build two different scene positions inside the same scene, do I have to make one filter for each source? Or is there a better workaround? Because some sources need to disappear, but no matter what I do to try, they keep glitching, as if they were resetting positions

weak escarp
#

If you want to use Move Source filters you need a filter per source per position
Other way would be different scenes for different positions

night rivet
#

Got it, because for example, I have the following sources on the lobby scene: Background, Frame, Camera, Game and Chat.

On the game scene, I want the Frame to disappear (fade), the camera to reposition, and the Chat to slide out.

#

From the lobby to the game, the camera one works well, it just moves, but when I switch back, the camera just shrinks and then resets

weak escarp
#

It seems like a problem with source matching, you can help the source matching using the move transition override filter

night rivet
#

Would I use that on which scene? The Game or Lobby one?

weak escarp
#

both should work

night rivet
#

What tweaks I need to change?

regal breach
night rivet
regal breach
#

well i couldnt tell if you had a different camera or something

does your second scene have a nested scene?

#

#

hhaha that was my hunch as well

#

it's a new feature

night rivet
#

Got it

#

Because I wanted to set my stream itself to use the stinger, but between the Lobby and Game, they would use Move Transition

regal breach
#

@weak escarp am i correct that that option is meant to handle this case?

Scene 1

  • Scene 2

Scene 2

  • Some source
regal breach
weak escarp
#

That option is made for this case:
Scene 1

  • Source to match

Scene 2

  • Scene 3
    • Source to match
night rivet
#

Got it

regal breach
#

ah i see, thanks

regal breach
#

tho i see weirdness here

night rivet
#

I'm gonna set the streamdeck to change the transition for every scene XD

regal breach
weak escarp
night rivet
#

What would be that?

weak escarp
#

that allows you to set you what transition you want to use between 2 scenes

night rivet
#

But doesn't OBS already have an option for override transition?

regal breach
#

so you could have two transitions for one destination scene, depending on the previous scene

night rivet
#

Oh gotcha

#

Can you do that with the "origin" scene?

#

For example:

Scene 1 - Move - > Scene 2 < - Stinger - Scene 3

regal breach
#

what do you mean by "origin" scene?

harsh topaz
#

Yes, that's exactly what it does 🙂

#

(The example)

#

isn't that what i just explained?

#

You said destination scene, I thought it was the final scene, not the first haha

Is it possible to get the selected item in an editable list property using a button callback? Basically making the editable list a combobox?

Are any OBS devs or plugin devs aware of any known issues with plugin compatibility between OBS 28.1.2 and OBS 29.0.0, or is it more or less expected that any plugins built for 28.x should work fine in 29.x?

plugins should generally still work

Correct, StreamFX has no stable release for OBS 28 or 29. There are only developmental builds that are unstable, unsupported, and not recommended for production use. The latest build does not work with the final release of OBS 29.0.0. I would recommend if StreamFX is a necessity to switch to OBS 27.2.4 and use the stable release of StreamFX that is compatible with that release (0.11.1). Otherwise to try to find alternative plugins/tools that provide similar functionality depending on which features of StreamFX you were intending to use, there are some alternatives out there.

Yes streamFX doesn’t work on v29 currently, it has been reported in the streamFX discord already.

#

Or it was at least, just checked and those posts seem to be deleted.

try removing that plugin and see if you can reproduce the crash aftwards

Hey there guys Is there a plugin that can replace StreamFX such as the blur filter for example? I'm trying to fully replace It because It's taking forever for them to support OBSv28/29 In a stable release.

Oh thx for telling me & I also use the source mirror from what I know so yeah. (I have that one sorted tho.)

I had been using the alpha build for the first month or so since I had upgraded my obs to v28 & oh boi weird stuff was happening that forced me to delete It,
(I also have to many plugins that only supported v28 & onwards so I don't want to go back to the old version of obs.)
from there I tried to wait but couldn't anymore.

well first of all the mirror fix only happened like an hour ago while the chaos with streamfx's alpha build happened a long while beforehand,
(also I've updated to v29 now, yeah forgot to say that.)

secondly whatever I had used that plugin for beyond the 2 mentioned, (I still don't know what that could be, crash reports didn't tell what It was & the people In their severs help section didn't really know.) went weird & the only fix to It was to delete It & even the new beta build that could be fine but before or after v29, It also had It's own big problem such as not wanting to work at all because of how they changed the installation process that for some reason doesn't want the plugin to be In use. (confuses the livings out of me.)

i agree but my experience with the streamFX alphas/betas have been fine considering my limited use personally. if you aren't using the streamFX-provided encoders, there really aren't many issues you'd run into.

Hey guys, I'm getting crashes while trying to use Source Record.
This was present in
OBSv 28+ using Source record 0.3.1
OBSv 29+ using Source record 0.3.2

Making me think that's it's me.
I am using the OBS.Live version

Here are my logs from teh crash this morning after making sure that all the plugins are up-to-date.
The system is a fresh install last week.

Have tried every encoder, and run out of tutorials on youtube to follow. they all show the same settings that are no working for me.

also cant find anyone else having the issue so I have no choice to think its my end.

I can't reproduce the issue right now. You can try with the new release, maybe that'll work better. Spotify worked fine for me, windows media control depends on the player. Edge for example only seems to provide the title and the cover.

# versed spindle All that is acknowledged and appreciated, but we use software from many sources ...

i believe the developer's frustration with users is justified when you see 10 succeeding issues regarding installation of the plugin on 28.1.2, when the beta release says it 29 beta is required. have that kind of issue several times and i'm sure anyone would be frustrated. even in support on this server, we get annoyed by users who can't follow or read instructions. someone even came here, was told to update nvidia drivers, went to the site, and asked how to download it when there's literally a download button in the link. you get me? we're humans too. that action blocking conversation is definitely just a temporary thing, as issues that are literally the same happen several times. it's all user error.

#

now that not working on 29 is surprising, but developer doesn't need to see that reported a million times. and as the rule in many softwares, don't update right away when a major update comes.

#

it's unfair to see someone "summarize" what happened here without actually knowing the whole situation

#

you don't want to "enable" the developer to restrict conversation due to flooding of the same error? how about we also do not "enable" people from spreading possible misinformation and conflict, especially on an unrelated server? i mean, we don't talk here against all the plugin developers that have abandoned their plugins, do we?

Hi All, If I am having some issues with a particular plugin is the best place to ask for assistance in that particular plugin forum? (BTW: my gut is saying yes...) As in I should go directly to https://obsproject.com/forum/resources <enter the rest of URL here> 🙂

shut compass
# fossil wyvern you can ask here too

heh, ya... OK. That is very true.

I just found myself writing back story, so I will cut to the chase. I need to use the Audio Monitor plugin but have found A/V sync issues in OBS 25 in the past, abandoned the plugin and now am rebuilding my production studio. I would love to use Audio Monitor but am finding that the A/V sync issues I am experiencing destroy the product I have created.

Wondering if anyone has run into similar issues and if there are any fixes...

My chain looks something like this. Audio gets routed from Track 1 to a VB-Audio cable output to be used as an input for social platform. The video input for said social platform is the virtual cam from OBS. A/V sync may start off good but then it can get more and more out of sync.

Any thoughts??? (And of course I was just informed by the fam that it is dinner time. I will drop this here and come back as I really do need to find a solution.) Thanks in advance.

# obsidian agate the Displacement Filter is part of StreamFX. Currently, StreamFX compatibility ...

FYI, the Displacement Map filter got removed from StreamFX quite some time ago. I just checked my OBS 26.1.1 installation and it is not present in that release (0.10.0), so wouldn't be present in any newer releases. The removal of the filter was due to it having fairly limited usefulness, and more or less for developers only, ie: Not useful to an end user that doesn't know what a displacement map is or how to create one. It was deemed that programmable shaders are more powerful overall and can be used to do displacement also, so the displacement map was unnecessary more or less, and got culled.

Discord does not expose that information to applications in any API so there is no good way to do it.

you could bind both to the same hotkey

the tray icon changes, tho im not sure where to grab that info from

and theres a Stream Deck plugin for mic, but i dont think i can use that in obs

quiet bramble
#

And tray icons can jumble around randomly at Windows whims, or by installing/removing software that adds/removes icons to the systray, so screen scraping is unreliable.

storm wave

tho if it could be read as data

i could look thru the list of tray icons

The Stream Deck module is something worth exploring

It does seem to track the mic status whether you activate it with the SD or Discord client.

can that be used for things outside streamdeck tho?

#

i assumed it went to streamdeck encrypted

#

else wed be seeing improved streamdecks

storm wave
#

mmm

#

so whats our approach here?

#

how do we tackle this

#

err *stab at this (cause sharp swords yaknow?)

quiet bramble
#

Ok, the Discord developer website has a bunch of info. Need to log into it and do 2FA to get access to the docs tho

#

Looks like ther is an IsSelfMute() and SetSelfMute() function authorized apps can invoke

#

So, to do something like have Discord mute status say... show up on the screen in OBS, one could get a Discord API key, and write an OBS LUA or Python script that communicates through the Discord API it would appear, and invoke the IsSelfMute() call then trigger something in OBS to reflect it (hide/show a source or whatever). At least in theory.

#

Looks like it might be something fun to play around with some day.

#

Anyhow, hope that info might be useful for you. The #scripting channel is useful for the OBS side of things also (Python/LUA scripts for OBS)

storm wave

this is so much to go off of, thank you so much

It's a bit speculative but appears possible at least. If you manage to get something going, let me know. 🙂 Might be worth posting in the OBS Resources forum for others also.

#

Oh, another thought... it could be a standalone app written in any language, communicating with OBS to enable/disable a source or whatever else via websocket.

is it possible to disable logging of child sources?

In one direction it changes the scene correctly and move the gamecapture source as expected. But in the other direction it starts the trasitions and then goes crazy for some reason

How would I go about "replacing"/swapping out the embedded album art for a track that's showing in Tuna?

#

Do I replace it externally or is it possible to do it for a singular one?

#

This is when using a VLC playlist.

regal breach
#

because in windows i'd edit the art using mp3tag

#

but that's for every file

#

ah, it appears tuna gets its music information somewhere else, not from the file

#

tried using this?

#

ohhh, if you're using vlc video source, it should indeed be the metadata embedded in each file

vapid charm
#

And there's a singular specific track that has a not exactly SFW but not NSFW art and I'm wanting to replace that.

regal breach
vapid charm
#

That does have it last time I looked but don't think that'll play nice with other songs that don't have any art due to file format.

boreal hearth
#

you'll need to edit the song file with mp3tag or a similar tool and replace the embedded cover art. Tuna can also download cover art from itunes so if the cover art is coming from there you'll have to disable that option, if it is on.

vapid charm
#

Yeah.... Gonna have to edit the file since itunes appears to carry the same image which is a no-no.

hello! i was just going to ask if OBS has a FILTER DOCK? i've looking for similar things as well like obs-filter-hotkeys

thank you.

i just tried it out and although you can add a filters button to the dock for the source, you cannot control the filters directly on the dock.

#

oh ouki. Mb then

mortal harbor
#

pinging @weak escarp as i think this would be a very cool option for the plugin though, hopefully he's not too mad about it 🙂

fossil wyvern
#

maybe if we summon the wizard, he'll do the magic and not kill us

fallow rivet
#

i realized this filter dock isnt a thing because most people use a stream deck i guess

mortal harbor
#

i still think its a great/useful idea.

harsh topaz
#

@boreal hearth any chance you'd be able to squeeze time in for taking a look at the dock bug for durchblick? 👀

regal breach
#

Since @weak escarp is pinged anyway, i also suggest a scene dock hahaha. Basically a second Sources dock but locked to whatever scene is selected on the dock. So if we need to do changes in that scene while previewing a different scene, we don't need to keep switching back and forth, especially when handling nested scenes

mortal harbor
#

not sure, me downloading it right now to check the filters thing is the first time i've used it.

@mortal harbor @fossil wyvern
I managed to make a "filter dock" work from lebaston100 / obsFilterMonitor in github with websocket

#

I think they want to preview two scenes at the same time

quiet bramble

docked?

mortal harbor
#

yes that's what i was showing in my screenshot, i think that should be what CodeYan is asking for?

quiet bramble
#

(I presume as you can preview as many sources/scenes as you like in a window or fullscreen)

wary escarp
mortal harbor
#

good point.

wary escarp
#

because that would be a big ask... or a big copy-paste job 😛

quiet bramble
#

Having filter dock would be super awesome, dunno if there is such a thing but I'd use it so fast my monitor would warm up. 😛

wary escarp
#

oh that used to be on my list for my properties dock plugin, until I forgot 😄

quiet bramble
#

I almost always have a filter dialog up, often wishing I could have 2 or more of them, and then switch windows and have to bring it back or move it to another display etc. depending on what I'm doing, so dockable would be epic

fallow rivet
#

not mine, but something i found myself. and its working

wary escarp
#

websockets are very powerful indeed

Think loading screens for games that do "Reticulating splines", etc

If it is static text, best to do that in a video editor. If the text is updated in realtime, Browser Source with CSS animation or Javascript is a possible and common solution. Otherwise a custom solution using LUA or python.

#

Is this directory %programdata%\obs-studio\plugins a common place to install plugin for all OBS instances on Windows?

mortal harbor
#

only a few plugins do like elgato, multi-rtmp, and streamfx.

#

i personally don't like it as it makes them load in your portable installs as well but it sounds like that's what you want.

fossil wyvern
heavy reef
#

Just asked my friend, he's the author of multi-rtmp xD, he told me that this dir is hard coded into OBS xD

fossil wyvern
#

but imo that sounds more an issue of the portable install.
In portable mode, the install shouldn't look for plugin outside of its folder, no?

quiet bramble
#

Yeah, I wish that directory could be disabled in OBS, or that all plugin installers gave an actual option of where you want to install a given plugin. I have 11 OBS installations and don't want random plugins built for one OBS release that do not work with another release screwing up one of my installs.

#

I renamed the directory with -disabled in hopes that other installers wont recreate the directory if it isn't already there, but I doubt that is the case. I always get the zip file installers for plugins for the portable installs, however StreamDeck and some other plugins are only available in an EXE installer format.

heavy reef
#

Or if you know, like how to configure game libraries for Steam, make it possible to configure where does OBS should search for plugins

quiet bramble
#

Unsure if it works, but next step was to try to hardlink or symlink the directory to the NUL: device

fossil wyvern
#

"aaaaaand we hook this.. into.. the garbage collector... there!"

heavy reef
#

These 2, for me

wary escarp
#

you can actually specify additional plugin search paths

heavy reef
#

Wow, with some parameter?

wary escarp
#

yeah, I'd have to look it up real quick

fossil wyvern
wary escarp
#

nope

heavy reef
#

--DO-NOT-USE-APPDATA-PLZ (no way

wary escarp
#

although that sounds like something that honestly should always be disabled in portable

quiet bramble
#

I suppose one could remove plugins found in there, do "touch pluginname.dll" and make it read-only

#

or perhaps make the directory read-only or change ownership to some other user

fossil wyvern
quiet bramble
#

yeah, StreamDeck, StreamFX I've found so far

quiet bramble
#

Even if the plugin is made for a given release of OBS, you don't necessarily want it in that install. For example, I have a copy of each release of OBS that I use which is intended to be 100% pristine, no plugins, to use to test one single plugin for memory leaks or other problems. But having mystery plugins secretly loading from magic-directory can cause surprises that one might not catch for example. 🙂

#

Would be nice if there was a way to disable that functionality, however even if there was it wouldn't help older releases.

wary escarp
#

I believe just to path/to/my/plugin/directory? Don't quote me on that. Correction, looks like you need to set it to path/to/my/plugin/directory/%module%/bin and path/to/my/plugin/directory/%module%/data (not replacing the %module%)

Also don't ask me how to set environment variables on Windows, I have no idea 😂

quiet bramble
#

you gotta hack the Gibson for that 🙂

harsh topaz
#

Doesn't make any sense to have a portable version that's still linked to external paths for sources. Is no different than if it still pulled files from the default SC/profile folder

#

Portable by definition implies you'd be able to take the folder on its own and move it to another place and things should work without dependencies right? If you're using plugins not within the portable mode, this whole idea sort of falls apart imo.

There are plugins that can generate graphics visualizations etc. based on audio input. The Waveform plugin is an example available in the OBS Resources forum.

Custom visualizations are also possible using the OBS Shaderfilter Plus plugin's FFT features with custom pixel/vertex shader programming, however I don't think that plugin has been updated to be compatible with OBS 28+ yet.

Deleting them apparently does nothing. Theres no other way to remove it from the layout from within OBS?

Deleting the soundtrack .dll file in that folder should work fine. You can send a log after doing so and restarting OBS to confirm.

Hi I'm not sure where to post this question. Please direct me if this question is in the wrong channel. My question is about the OBS forum. My name on there is Narrow River and I code a plugin for OBS called Simple Countdown Timer for OBS. I recently coded a new version 3 and when I uploaded it on Friday ( my time) in the resource section I got the message linked to the resource 'Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly.' and the forum attached to the resource got [deleted] ( I never deleted it ). I waited three days for a review but it has not happened. Hence the question. I understand things are run by volunteers and if I need to wait longer (so be it and all good) There has been 6K downloads of it so far. I did summit it 'Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly.' I created a version 3 as a new resource but got the same 'Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly.'

That is odd, I don't seem to see an option to change that either, I'm checking in to it though.

Looks like you just have to post a new version with the correct URL. I think you must have accidentally put the image URL in there.

#

There's no way to edit it once a version update has been posted.

#

check the box for "Release a new version" and make sure the external download link, or the file uploaded to that section, is correct.

In the update you must have accidentally changed the download and uploaded an image. The counter is that button, yes.

Hello, i just downloaded the plugin ‘source record’ and i got a few questions.

-> Is it normal that the 'replay buffer' function is not working?
-> When i am recording only my camera and then go into my edit software, it has a black border around it. is there a way to remove this?
-> I have 5 audio tracks on my normal recording, BUT on the 'source record' recordings i only have 1 track. This way i need to use my normal record for audio tracks, and then the source record game record for my game so i can adjust the tracks.
Does anyone know how to resolve any of these issues? I would appreciate it allot !

Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of setting up my stream for a WoW raid - I'm looking to include my webcam on the Twitch stream itself, but not the actual recording.

yee, add a filter to the game source and that filter will record only the game source. Adding another filter to the webcam wouldn't impact the first filter's recording, but create a second one that would record the webcam only.
