Possibly in one of the Help and Support channels, but do note that it is ~= 6am where the majority of support volunteers tend to be located. So if you don't get much of a response, try again in 3-4 hours.

[mortal harbor]

Question - is there any way to get (as a text file) the various twitch data (last sub, last follower, last donation) etc without usinf StreamLabels?

That awful program won't install anymore

[storm widget]

Message deleted.

[harsh topaz]

Fairly sure it still falls in under #rules [3]

[fossil wyvern]

if you're familiar with a bit of coding, you can make your own. It's basically just calls to the twitch API

[fierce bloom]

Hello does anyone know if Elgato Stream Deck works with OBS 29.0.2 yet or if they still need to release an update? I just updated OBS and everything else seems to be working, but my stream deck doesn't recognize all of my scenes/sources at the moment. Just trying to narrow down what could be wrong

[harsh topaz]

To be fair, it does have a quirk where if you make changes you might have to restart your stream deck software.

[fierce bloom]

Okay ty! Will keep researching what could be the issue then

[harsh topaz]

I'd suggest asking on their discord since to my knowledge there's nothing going on with it on OBSs end.

[echo crescent]

I made the settings to record in valorant, but there is no image, can you help me please?

[oblique yew]

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

[boreal tangle]

Hey do I have to pay into the 10.50 a month for access to StreamFX?

or is it any of the tiers?

[fossil wyvern]

only need to pay once afaik.

[boreal tangle]

But is it any of the tiers or is it the 10.50?

[fossil wyvern]

the one that says access to supporter exclusive releases

[boreal tangle]

that would be the 10.50; thanks

[slim glacier]

anybody use NDI? i'm having a very huge ping spike, it seems to only be spiking my ping from 30 - 500 when i'm running display capture/or game capture but when i turn it off ping goes back to normal, but then i can't stream the game or even the monitor

[wise palm]

Try Window capture?

[regal breach]

Ndi uses LAN. Are you using wired internet?

[slim glacier]

yess

[slim glacier]

i've tried both

[regal breach]

If you have some money to spare, a capture card would be more effective

CodeYan is correct... Though don't get an ElGato - Get the Mirabox. It's only 1080p@60 but if you're on YouTube you can upscale to 4K & nobody will ever notice

[gaunt zealot]

But is it wired gigabit ethernet? 100 Mbps isn't fast enough for NDI

[gloomy lake]

Ive installed the plugin for closed captioning, I see it in OBS, it's captioning, but I don't know how to add it to my stream? 😮

[vapid charm]

@gloomy lake As long as you have it properly configured it's up to the end user to view captions

You simply just make it available for them.

[gloomy lake]

No need to add a source to obs or turn on anything myself on Twitch?

If the plugin runs on obs, it automatically pushes to twitch?

[vapid charm]

All you do is configure it. OBS sends the "data" to twitch and users enable it like my screenshot shows.

[bright pelican]

is there an alternative to streamfx to blur part of screen ?

i am using obs v29 and streamfx is not out for it yet

[mortal harbor]

https://github.com/prgmitchell/blur-filter/releases

[bright pelican]

briliant thank you

[unreal canyon]

I am using the obs ndi plugin but how can I fix the sounds are choppy and scratchy?

[mortal harbor]

install this version: https://github.com/DDRBoxman/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.10.1

[mortal prism]

I just installed input overlay (wasd and mouse) how to I get it to show on my screen?

[wise palm]

Add a Source>Input Display Source

[rich sparrow]

Noob question, is there any gallery of best/recommended plugins

[regal breach]

It is highly dependent on what your setup needs, but one of the plugins that is very popular is Advanced Scene Switcher

For other plugins, you'll want to first think of a use case

[rich sparrow]

Yeah I use it, as well as audio monitor and I used to use streamfx as well. Are there any particularly good ones for integration with Zoom for example?

[regal breach]

Finally got around to testing it, thank you, that is indeed what I am looking for. I just noticed though that items inside groups are not visible in the dock

Also, how can I delete docks that I previously created? I now have 5 docks with the same name lol, i didn't realize each click of Add will create a new one

Manually doing it in the json is fine for me, if need be

Lol I can't even delete the dock I just created

EDIT: Apparently typing a source name hides all the docks in the Tools > Source Docks window, so i couldn't figure out how to delete docks earlier. Now i do. Thanks

[gaunt zealot]

What kind of Zoom integration are you looking for, exactly? OBS already has built-in virtual webcam outputs.

[rich sparrow]

Nothing specific, just wanted to look around. I use bot virtual cam and recording, and everything works great (aside from the RTSP but that's pretty much insolvable with my current setup). Would be interesting to see if anything could cancel out my speakers when I'm talking into the mic, but I'm aware I'm probably asking too much

[spiral ruin]

You could create a PTT macro that includes muting the speaker output on press, and unmute on release.

[rich sparrow]

That's a nice idea, thank you

[gaunt zealot]

Phase inversion and a highly directional mic if you just gotta use speakers is the live front of house stage fix, but the real fix is to use headphones for monitoring to prevent feedback. There's no real filter for this.

[rich sparrow]

Thanks for info

[gaunt zealot]

Transparent or skin colored IEMs and long hair if you're worried about on-screen appearance

[rich sparrow]

Lol I'm not really a professional

[glossy jacinth]

whats the best Chat Widget that work with ffz bttv and even with 7tv emotes

i find one that work only with ffz and bttv

[vale vine]

ffz shuold support 7tv I believe

[glossy jacinth]

🤔

[vale vine]

might need to install an extension or something

[glossy jacinth]

so kapChat is good or there is some better?

[vapid charm]

depends where you want to see them.

On stream? Pixelchat maybe.
In OBS? FFZ addon under stream tab with the 7TV/BTTV addons enabled in their assonance tab.

[glossy jacinth]

oh pixelchat

i know that

and is there any plugin that will add text to speech to chat

[umbral valley]

Happy Sunday everyone, new comer here to streaming on OBS and I was wondering if any of you use OWN3D overlay plug ins, if so I’m having an issue getting the plug-in on my OBS. It’s supposed to pop up on my tools menu but it isn’t, any idea why?

[vale vine]

Should reach out to own3d for help with that

[rotund mauve]

Got buried so I’m gonna repost

I've asked this question a few times but I think I've narrowed it down a bit. I'm looking to use the advanced scene switcher to add touchdown animations to a football stream. I need it to minimize the scoring team and have the score count up like a jackpot machine. I also need the score to count up like a jackpot machine for extra points, 2 point conversions, field goals, etc. and I would like to add drive summary's as well. I would also like to add a feature where I can minimize the scorebug and show other scores around the specific league. Can I do this, and if not is there a software that will let me?

[spiral ruin]

There probably isn't one software to do that automagically. You'll need to write macros or scripts to automate much of that in adv-ss.

[cerulean wasp]

Anyone know if there is an easy way to get the replay script to play a replay twice? I'd like to replay it once at .75 speed and then the same clip again at .5 speed

[rotund mauve]

Is there a way to just create the animations then implement them in obs

[spiral ruin]

Yes. I believe an app like Blender or something similar can do that.

[rotund mauve]

So how would I create the scorebug and implement the transition that would make it count up like a jackpot machine

[spiral ruin]

Not sure, you'll probably want to find an animator willing to tell you, or just pay an animator to create the elements for you. What you want is complicated, something that TV and Cable Sports networks pay good money to have created and maintained.

[rotund mauve]

Could I only have an animation that covers the screen every time the board changes a specific state

[spiral ruin]

I don't see why not, if the animation is simply a media file.

[rotund mauve]

But I couldn’t have it as an all in one unless I create a software like scoreboard+ myself

[spiral ruin]

Correct. If you want information like the score to be dynamic in the animation, you are adding a new level of complexity.

[rotund mauve]

Would unreal engine work as a software like that

[spiral ruin]

Don't know. You could try it.

[wise palm]

Odd question.
How would I go about showing say 2 Starting Soon Screens via Browser Sources? Say 1 for Twitch, and 1 for YouTube? Perhaps timed

[rotund mauve]

Not sure if you can use OBS for that may have to use a software like restream

[spiral ruin]

Do you mean while streaming to both services at the same time?

[gloomy lake]

Cannot do that in OBS AFAIK..Not simultaneously.

[wise palm]

I've already got the streaming to multiple sites thing taken care of. It's just annoying having to pick a platform to advertise for

[spiral ruin]

You would need to instances of OBS, one for streaming to Twitch with Twitch-only elements in your sources, and one for YT, etc.

[gloomy lake]

Yeah it's doable to stream to multiple things, but displaying different scenes at the same time is not something that can be done as far as I know. You'd need two instances of OBS like Papa Luigi said.

[wise palm]

I think it might be doable with Visability Timer Lua Script to toggle the Browser SOurces

[obsidian agate]

it would be cool if Vertical Canvas could be flipped back to a Letterbox canvas, then have 1 for Twitch and 1 for another service that isnt Vertical

since they do tie into eachother when it comes to changing scenes

[vale vine]

Suggest that to exeldro?

If he pulled off vertical, don't see why that would be a stretch

[wise palm]

Booyah. It's ghetto but it works
https://youtu.be/REIz5Qa5qRg

[obsidian agate]

i said letterbox, not ultrawide

[vale vine]

Your dad jokes are usually spot on ha

[deft orbit]

Is there a way to see what plug ins are doing what without going through every filter on every source? I’d like to update to 29 but streamfx is not updated, and I’d like to start looking for replacements of the features I’m using in that.

[oblique yew]

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file. Follow these instructions to upload your current log file:

[cerulean wasp]

Anyone know if there is an easy way to get the replay script to play a replay twice? I'd like to replay it once at .75 speed and then the same clip again at .5 speed

[mortal harbor]

i do not but you could probably use the plugin to accomplish this

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/replay-source.686/

[cerulean wasp]

This looks like it might do what I'm aiming for. Thank you!

[magic steeple]

hello
I would like to ask how to solve the problem that when I load the script, it shows No such file or directory.

[deft orbit]

Hey obs bot, that's not quite what I'm looking for

[mortal harbor]

all the filters you're using are listed in the log.

[deft orbit]

Will it say specifically what filters are being used on each source?

[dark sapphire]

yes

[vapid charm]

For example

[mortal harbor]

how do you add animations onto obs

[analog ruin]

Could you explain a bit more about what you mean by "animations"? Like when you go from once scene to the other?

[mortal harbor]

like a box with the colours changing around it

or like a part on the top that shows a progression part

that keeps moving

[mortal harbor]

do you know how to do that

[regal breach]

It would be easier to do that with an actual animation or video editing software, like Blender or Davinci Resolve, and use the video in obs

Although there may be some shaders out in the wild that you can use in obs to accomplish the same thing

[mortal harbor]

ik but i would like to do on obs as i only trust obs

[analog ruin]

I cannot think of any way to do this natively. Either you made a animated border in HTML/CSS/javascript and add it as a browser source, or you make an animated border as a video file in Davinci Resolve or similar @mortal harbor

[mortal harbor]

ok

[mortal harbor]

is there good game capture plugins?

[vapid charm]

There are none and you'd be best using the built in game capture source.

[deft orbit]

Do I need to have gone through every scene and turned every source on? Or will it show ones that aren’t active as well?

[vapid charm]

It shows all sources and filters

Regardless of enabled or not.

[glossy jacinth]

any good plugin for animeted model?

something like vtuber

[mortal harbor]

there's vtuber specific software for that sort of stuff like VSeeFace

[glossy jacinth]

yeah but that take too much cpu 😄

i want something that will not take too much cpu

hmm i find something called PrprLive gonna try it if it gonna takke too much cpu or not

[river elbow]

easiest way to hook obs-plugintemplate's cmake to libobs binary+includes on windows? I probably need binary for architecture, includes and a findlibobs.cmake I dont know where to get these

[regal breach]

Hi, any tips on what to check when my plugin doesn't see the strings in the locale file?

https://github.com/CodeYan01/media-playlist-source

[ocean cliff]

I may be wrong on this cause it's late and my plugin knowledge is shaky, but you're trying to use MediaPlaylistSource.PlayPause when your key is just PlayPause I think

[regal breach]

ah, my bad, my master isn't updated with that fix. https://github.com/CodeYan01/media-playlist-source/tree/support-url fixed that here and made it use PlayPause, but still not finding it. even the source name itself isn't found
obs_module_text("MediaPlaylistSource")
none of the keys work

i also used the installer to see if it's just a problem with my copy pasting of files

ah, haven't used the installer yet. lemme try to push a tag

[regal breach]

oh, actually, master is already updated

oh, there were others

[coral tusk]

i have a question i looking for app to get remote my scenes from my mobille..Sombody en idea witch is good i had obs blade but i can not connect it

[boreal hearth]

i just built the plugin from source and for me it's working so it's most likely not finding the language file, does the log show something like 14:02:59.407: Failed to load 'en-US' text for module: 'media-playlist-source.so'?

[regal breach]

checking

[regal breach]

yes it does. i have yet to try the installer though. did you use the installer?

might be a problem with my debugging then

hmmmm it still doesn't work by simply copying the generated files in rundir/Debug/

[river elbow]

where to procure libobs-dev for windows?

[boreal hearth]

I manually copied the files into ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/media-playlist-source

[regal breach]

did this error show up for you as well?

[boreal hearth]

no, only after I deleted the language file for testing

[regal breach]

linux?

[boreal hearth]

yeah

[regal breach]

what i find weird is that the generated ini file on windows is located at build64\rundir\Debug\data\obs-plugins\media-playlist-source\data\locale\en-US.ini

with an extra data folder before locale

but built in plugins dont seem to have that folder

yep, moved it up, now obs finds it?

so i guess plugin template has a problem?

though my other plugin using the same plugin template works nope, that doesn't use locale files, so it works

[regal breach]

thanks for helping, i guess ill report this

[boreal hearth]

how are the files copied into the rundir? I use a postbuild command in cmake for that

[regal breach]

like, into the obs directory?

or plugin builds

[boreal hearth]

build64\rundir\Debug\data\obs-plugins i mean this path

[regal breach]

i just use the vs project created by the github script, i'm not really sure how everything is configured by the template

then i'd copy it into the obs build (i'd usually just use a symlink)

[boreal hearth]

I guess it's an issue with the template, cmake add_custom_command(TARGET ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} POST_BUILD # Copy to obs-studio dev environment for immediate testing COMMAND if $<CONFIG:Debug>==1 ( "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -E copy "$<TARGET_FILE:${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}>" "${libobs_DIR}/../rundir/$<CONFIG>/obs-plugins/64bit") COMMAND if $<CONFIG:Debug>==1 ( "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -E copy "$<TARGET_PDB_FILE:${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}>" "${libobs_DIR}/../rundir/$<CONFIG>/obs-plugins/64bit") COMMAND if $<CONFIG:Debug>==1 ( "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -E make_directory "${libobs_DIR}/../rundir/$<CONFIG>/data/obs-plugins/${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}") COMMAND if $<CONFIG:Debug>==1 ( "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -E copy_directory "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/data" "${libobs_DIR}/../rundir/$<CONFIG>/data/obs-plugins/${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}") )

[regal breach]

is that from yours?

[boreal hearth]

yeah, that's from input overlay

[regal breach]

it's probably a problem in this generated .cmake rule, i tried to add a trailing backslash and now it doesn't create a subfolder data and works

[boreal hearth]

might be from here https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate/blob/master/cmake/ObsPluginHelpers.cmake#L464

[regal breach]

that line has the trailing space which looks correct though

but i'm not sure if that's supposed to have a glob at the end

[boreal hearth]

ah i thought the "/" was wrong, maybe this line then https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate/blob/master/cmake/ObsPluginHelpers.cmake#L645

[regal breach]

ah, here

maybe?

[boreal hearth]

only one way to find out

[regal breach]

uhhh, change it and rerun the build-windows script?

[boreal hearth]

yeah, rerunning cmake should be enough, but the script should do that

[regal breach]

i'd rather rerun cmake but how hahaha

[boreal hearth]

open cmake gui point "where to build the binaries" to the plugin build folder then it should automatically fill "where is the source" and then you can just click configure and generate

[regal breach]

worked, thanks!

adding a trailing slash there did indeed update the generated file

[boreal hearth]

well if it installs the data to the correct folder now you might wanna create a PR for the plugin template

[regal breach]

yep, im creating one now

[regal breach]

where are you receiving an error?

but ill take a guess about what you've done and say that you need to compile obs locally

[regal breach]

https://obsproject.com/wiki/Getting-Started-with-OBS-Studio-Development

[river elbow]

I need libobs to compile a plugin

libobs-dev works fine on linux, but I switched to windows

I probably need binary for architecture, includes and a findlibobs.cmake I dont know where to get these

[misty sonnet]

Hi I have a problem with my plugin

I am an author of OBS Plugin for PTZOptics Cameras.
When you switched from Qt5 to Qt6, we had a problem with Qt libraries. So I built the plugin again (with OBS 28) using Qt6.3.2 and it worked fine. But a few months later, OBS version changed to 29 and it did not work. When I checked, the obs-frontend-api version also changed to *29 and it was the reason. So I changed the rpath of the plugin to @rpath/libobs-frontend-api.dylib from @rpath/libobs-frontend-api.1.dylib.
But it did not work, I think it is a problem with the Qt version again since I could see that OBS is using Qt6.4.1 now?

Anybody can help me?

[wary escarp]

On macOS we're using Qt 6.4.1, on Windows we're still on 6.3.1

[misty sonnet]

you mean i must rebuild the plugin with qt6.4.1?

[wary escarp]

in theory all older versions of Qt 6 should still be binary compatible

[misty sonnet]

This is the output of otool

It works fine with OBS 28 but not with OBS 29

[tawdry palm]

So the StreamFX download is just a .zip file now but the Github install instructions are so out of date as their latest StreamFX no longer install via ".exe" like the instructions say

So now do we install the 0.12.0.b164 version ? Dropping them the plugin folder doesn't appear to be an option

[mortal harbor]

that .zip is the source code, not a plugin that can be installed. streamFX pre-release versions are only available to his patreon/github subscribers.

[oblique yew]

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

[tawdry palm]

ok that's strange cause how did I get the beta one last time /scratches head
oh well, I'll just wait

unless he changed that recently

[mortal harbor]

yes.

[tawdry palm]

his plugin is amazing, may be worth the sub ❤️

Probably higher chance in #development If you're trying to build/develop things.

Wondering, ya'll think anyone has made a plugin for source backlight?

@quiet bramble This might be something you've fiddled with in shader - since I've seen a shader by xaymar manage to change a border color based on source content.

[regal breach]

first run clone the plugin template, open powershell, cd into the folder, then run .github/scripts/Build-Windows.ps1. it will download dependencies

you also need to build obs, which you can see in the link

then, the script should create a build_x64 folder, it will contain a .sln that you should open in Visual Studio. it will handle building and debugging

[tight lily]

hey really need help with own3d pro if someone could call or something would be great\

[spiral ruin]

Please don't cross-post. You were replied to in another channel.

[quiet bramble]

The key for producing a visual that varies based on the input like that, is to come up with a way of getting either the desired result, or something faking the desired result good enough to not be able to tell the difference much while using the least amount of hardware resources. Some things can be done quite easily and inexpensively, while others can bog down a 4090 (large blur and other convolution filter effects).

I usually go with "fake it in a way that is performant and looks good nuff" with a lot of things.

[harsh topaz]

Was just thinking this would be right up your alley of "a shader could do that"

[quiet bramble]

I've wanted to create something that can determine the average pixel color of a source for use for various effects such as setting a background or a border or an outline etc. Or to be used as an input to an algorithm for something else. It's not something that can be done in a single pass pixel shader that I'm aware of though, so I've had to do some faking for example by only sampling a small number of random pixels or something like that. It can work for some inputs but has issues depending on what it gets shown and what ends up getting sampled.

Xaymar has given me some suggestions for it in conversation a while back for using both multi-passes, and combining it with sampling pixels at the corners to get a bit of hardware acceleration by cutting the amount of pixels to be sampled by 4, but I haven't tried to implement something like that yet. Shader plugins don't have multi-pass options available.

I am curious what kind of performance can be had by downsampling like this with optimization though. There is a way to kind of do it in OBS already as a standalone though. One can use the Scaling/Aspect filter on a source clone/mirror of a source, scaling it down to 1x1px with default scale filter, then scale back to canvas size with another scale filter.

[harsh topaz]

Ever took a look at the rounded-rect.effect from Xaymars filter folder? That's the one that originally made me think about it. It changes the border color.

[quiet bramble]

I haven't seen that one yet

[manic ermine]

Too bad there's no compute shaders, it's pretty easy to do an average like that with group shared memory

[quiet bramble]

It's a goal of mine this year to get savvy with OBS+LUA and be able to do this sort of stuff with a combination of LUA+shaders. I got going on that a bit early in January but haven't been working with it for about a month now. Need to get back into that before long.

Yeah, I looked into compute shaders as an option also but it quickly went above my paygrade. LOL

Another thing on my curiosity TODO list tho.

I did learn some things from Xay though that I have used in other shaders and it works great. I need to go back and optimize a number of my own convolution based shaders with this.

[manic ermine]

Speaking of shaders... Does anyone know if there is a shader plugin that allows sampling of multiple past frames?

[quiet bramble]

For example, I made an Adaptive Thresholding shader that works amazing, but at some configuration option settings it will melt the GPU.

I had to hard code some maximum limits for the user properties to prevent maxing out the GPU and resetting the driver

But with some tricks I learned from Xaymar I will be able to go back and optimize that code to use around 1/4 of the GPU resources which will be a huge benefit.

Once I get that optimized and stable I intend to release the Adaptive Thresholding as a filter for OBS down the line. Don't want to put it out there as-is and have people's computers crash though. LOL

[harsh topaz]

That's where you add upper limit to what can be set

Eitherway, just the first time I've thought of something that is a "main stream feature" that people might want for their stream. Since ambient backlight isn't really an uncommon thing - but I've never seen anyone have it on stream.

And it fits the shader genre to my imagination at least

[quiet bramble]

I tried researching adaptive thresholding online after I made my own algo, but all the stuff I found was made for photocopiers in the 1970s and whatnot and I found it all overly complex and algorithms that were not suitable for use in realtime running on a GPU with a live feed.

It could probably be done with CUDA, but that was over my head 😛

Most of the filters that are super GPU resource intensive tend to all be convolution filters. And most of those are using some variation or another of a blur algorithm.

My adaptive thresholding algorithm is a convolution filter although not a blur one.

[manic ermine]

What's a source backlight?

[quiet bramble]

Although internally it kind of sort of is a box blur mathematically, but the result is not output like that, but used for decision making.

[manic ermine]

Wait context clues, I get it now... Sorry

[quiet bramble]

@harsh topaz Another use case I think people would have for the background use case is adding a background to a vertical video source, or 4:3 or other "non-native" aspect ratio, and duplicating it scaled to fit the screen, blurred possibly brighter/darker/etc.

[harsh topaz]

Based on webcam, it'd create the gradient blur on the outside 🙂

[quiet bramble]

It's that "blur" part of anything though... The dictionary definition of the word blur is: Bring a modern high end GPU to its knees and test the fans at maximum RPM. 🙂

[harsh topaz]

Nah you can do bi-directional blur fairly cheap.

And if you don't do actual "blurring" but just generate a faded gradient based on pixel colors around the edge of the source.

Should be fairly cheap.

[quiet bramble]

Right, that's the optimization part 🙂

[ashen apex]

I am attempting to use an OBS Plug In called "Background Removal", so I can place my own background without using a Green Screen. My problem is getting my display to look like the others I have seen recorded, which looked pretty good. No matter how much I try to tweak the fine tuning on the Filter options, I still get way too much pixelation around my image. Could it be something I am doing wrong, or can this also be caused by my computer? I am using a new Alien Laptop, with a "AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with Radeon Graphics" processor, and 16 GB. Any suggestions on how to improve the image?

[regal breach]

take a picture of what it looks like with and without the plugin

With the Plug In, this is actually the best I could get it at the moment.

[regal breach]

and without?

[ashen apex]

Well without, it's just the normal screen in shot with what is actually behind me.

So there would be no pixelation.

When I do a video, the pixelation is moving around quite a bit.

[wise palm]

If you are trying to get a digital greenscreen, "XSplit VCam" is your program, tinker with the settings, it's the best thing you can get short of a real greenscreen

@ashen apex

[ashen apex]

I am thinking I may just need to get the Green Screen itself.

I'm not that Tech Savvy, to begin with...

[regal breach]

which is what i was asking for

[ebon token]

Hey I cant get lunar client to work on obs can someone help?

[regal breach]

because such features benefit from a less noisy background

[ebon token]

the support is quiet

[regal breach]

#windows-support is the only place

be patient

[manic ermine]

You might be able to do this using the "Jump Flood Algorithm" (See https://bgolus.medium.com/the-quest-for-very-wide-outlines-ba82ed442cd9) where they use it for fast outlines

[ashen apex]

Last question then, when I do get the material for a Green Screen, does it need some type of a Plug In, or Filter in OBS to work?

[regal breach]

either Chroma/Color Key filter in obs

built in

[ashen apex]

Thanks CodeYan, you were a Huge Help!!!

[river elbow]

also CodeYan, thank you for the tips about libobs

[regal breach]

you're welcome @ashen apex @river elbow

[quiet bramble]

Great article, which touches upon the basic underlying problem from the earlier discussion. Finding ways to optimize with other algorithms and/or reducing the effective number of samples can make a big difference.

There are similarities with the latter approach covered with gaussian blur there, to what I did a while back with my "Smoky Shia" effect I posted here. Using a dynamic mask of the transparent source and applying blur to it to expand it outside of the mask, then applying a visual effect outside of the original image, but within the confines of the blurred image mask.

Trying to get NDI working.

If I play audio on the remote device it plays back fine. And the Video I send over NDI comes over smooth.
But the audio I send over NDI sounds really choppy.

[tepid merlin]

I used to have a scene copy plugin which became broken in a previous update and deleted a while ago. Since I have a set of scene collections for IRL streams and a different set for my PC streams, I was hoping to copy scenes (which are overlays - dono goals and what not) over to other scene collections once I have found myself happy with the outlay. Does anyone know what this plugin is called, where I can find it, etc? I am on the latest OBS update now. Thanks ❤️

[regal breach]

probably this https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-copy.1261/

[tepid merlin]

o0o0o0o0o yes that is it, thanks so much @regal breach

[regal breach]

welcome

[tepid merlin]

Can't believe how quick that was to resolve. All is working as it should again, what a champ!

[violet swallow]

sorry to probably beat an old horse dead but what was the latest obs that most plugins support?

had to do a reinstall of windows to rollback to 10, and lost my obs install in the process

[quiet bramble]

At the present moment, most plugins support the current OBS release, 29.0.2. Also, the most recent version of most plugins only support OBS 28.x or newer. There are only a small number of plugins out there that have not yet been (and may never be) updated to work on the current release of OBS.

[regal breach]

the plugin template is made to work on obs 28 and up, so new plugins would not support older versions

[quiet bramble]

Still, if someone uses plugins at all, it is always a good idea to research each and every plugin to ensure it is compatible with the given OBS release and/or figure out what version of everything they need to have for everything they want to use to all work together nicely. Even then there are sometimes combinations that there is no solution for, such as requiring one plugin that only supports OBS 29+ and another one that only works on OBS 27 and nothing newer. In such cases, a user has to make a compromise over which solution gives them the most of what they want and give up on the things that don't work or find alternative solutions for any things that are missing.

[oblique lotus]

what does the move action from move transition do?

[regal breach]

when you turn on the filter, it executes a command you set

it can be used if you want to execute an action after another move filter executes

for example, if i made a move filter that moves a source to the right, i can make a Move Action filter to stop the recording

[oblique lotus]

oh, I think I need to update then

ok yeah, I had an old version and I could only select frontend actions

thanks

[mortal harbor]

Hi,
I have a question about VLC video source. Is this the right place to ask?

[inland fjord]

I'm setting up a livestream from my Fansly.com site, and I have a custom server and server key, through OBS, but I can't find where to put the key when I get to my server

[untold jay]

@inland fjord "stream key" is just part of the URL, i.e. if your RTMP URL is rtmp://example.com:1935/live/streamkey, you put rtmp://example.com:1935/live as "server" and streamkey as "stream key", or you can put rtmp://example.com:1935/live/streamkey in "server" and nothing in "stream key"

[inland fjord]

OK thank you

[regal breach]

If it's about using it, #windows-support

Or whatever platform you're using

[worn steppe]

so

the latest streamFX release apparently doesn't work with the latest OBS update

so does anyone know of a different way I can add source mirrors?

[mortal harbor]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-clone.1632/

[leaden olive]

Does anyone know how long it takes for an tool to be approved and made public. I posted one but it's still been pending for some time

[quiet bramble]

The people who take care of that do it periodically but not on any set schedule. It can take a few days or weeks depending on what they're busy doing.

[leaden olive]

Ok Thanks

[full perch]

I' set everything as illustrated but the NDI is still not finding the source...

[wise palm]

XSplit VCam is super easy to use, if you can figure out how to add a camera in OBS you can use VCam. YouTube probly has tutorials for it, not that their needed.

[regal breach]

open Tools > NDI on both PCs and check the NDI version on both, and make sure that Program output is on

How is the obs-plugintemplate Linux .deb installer supposed to work?
I fresh cloned, built the code, created the package, installed the package...

pv@MorefineM6:~/src$ git clone https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate

I would have expected that to have installed to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins/ and /usr/share/obs/obs-plugins/ respectively.

[dense perch]

Choppy obs-ndi audio is known issue. Bug was around for years but only starting being noticed in NDI5. The fix has been known since 2022/08 but just never made it in to an official release yet.
You have 2 options:

1. [safest] Install DDRBoxman's 4.10.1 at https://github.com/DDRBoxman/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.10.1
2. Install my new one almost ready for release at https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/actions/runs/4248517572 and let me know how it works for you.
   All 3 (Linux, MacOS, and Windows) platforms function fine, and Mac and Windows install fine, but I want to get the Linux installer to work correctly (see my previous message) before I release it.

Hey Support! Is there a way to automate pulling my Patreon supporter list and showing it on stream? I've looked through a couple extensions and have found alerts, but I haven't found a way to pull the whole list. Any help would be huge, thanks!

[sudden lynx]

Hello, I recently heard that OBS Studio just made a plugin that allowed for streaming to Twitch AND Tiktok at the same time, super easy. I've only heard of the plugin but cannot find it anywhere. Not on the plugin forum, nor with ctrl+f here within the discord.
If anyone has it or knows where I can find any info on it do please @ me.
Cheers

[teal dome]

Yep I just installed that new 4.10.1 and the audio is working!

I'll have to do a test this weekend where I put my Desktop under load, then have my remote system do the capture and see how it looks

[oblique yew]

A third party plug-in for streaming to multiple RTMP servers is available for OBS Studio. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964

Hello, obs 29 version does not support rtsp server

[gaunt zealot]

You can pull in RTSP sources as a media source in OBS just fine

[solar dust]

I think it was about the rtsp-server plugin not having a release compatible with OBS 28 and later.

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Does End Absolute not mean that after running the move source it will set the visibility & order to the absolute number?
Think I fixed it with End delay matching the duration. Still bit confused what End and Start references then within the Visibility and Order category

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Audio does not come through a Source Clone source when the source selected is a scene with nested sources in it. Is this known/expected?
Scene => Source (Works)
Source Clone => Source (Works)
Source Clone => Scene => Source (Doesn't Work)

[weak escarp]

That is expected, it is a feature that is on my evergrowing to do list

[harsh topaz]

Alright, thanks 🙏

Hey everyone, I am just wondering if streamfx can achieve this effect? Or is there something else I need for this ?

[obsidian agate]

technically you wouldnt need StreamFX. just re-add the same camera source, flip it horizontally, and position it opposite of the original

[glacial ocean]

I'm not to sure if this would be for this one or for audio or windows, im having trouble with this pluggin win-capture-audio v2.2.3-beta. i installed it but when i open obs it doesnt show in my sources

it didnt give me a option to where to install it, i thought it installed on the c drive, i also tried zip extracting it to my d drive where my obs is @fossil wyvern

[livid magnet]

Hey guys. I will explain it in a way that everyone can understand. I need to interact with multiple browsers at the same time. Because these browsers have seconds flow. Is it possible to do this?

[fossil wyvern]

no, actually explain what you're doing. how are you "interacting" with browser sources, what are those browser sources doing... etc.

actually explain what you're doing

and, #stream-setup , since you're not using a plugin

[glacial ocean]

so would that be a windows support question because i don't know what im doing wrong, i've tried extracting it to both things obs related things on my c and d drive

[fossil wyvern]

don't use the zip, use the installer

[glacial ocean]

i've tried both

[fossil wyvern]

where does the installer installs to?

[glacial ocean]

when it goes to install it says it extracts to my d drive but creates the shortcuts on my c drive

[fossil wyvern]

what shortcut?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, so that's the issue, caus eobs studio is on your C drive

[glacial ocean]

so should i uninstall it or can i copy it to my d drive/merge it over?

[fossil wyvern]

tell it to install to the c drive

[dense perch]

Do you know if there are any plans to update the obs-plugintemplate to create a flatpak installer?

[fossil wyvern]

I'm trying to release a working update to the obs-ndi plugin, but I am stuck on the inability to get the Linux obs-plugintemplate based .deb installer working in either standalone or flatpak (I pretty much gave up on flatpak...I could not find out how to get my plugin running in the sandbox to dynamically load the NDI .so file from the /usr/local/lib/ dir).
The non-flatpak Linux plugin works fine if I manually install the files.

[fossil wyvern]

not very easy for a total novice. you'd need something to send a get request to that and to parse the response to get the list of supporters

[gaunt zealot]

You need to update the plugin to the latest version:
https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases

[mortal harbor]

I have OBS 29.0.2 and the plugin is for OBS 28 😦

[gaunt zealot]

That supports v28+. It works fine on OBS v29

[mortal harbor]

well, I'll try it, thanks

[left grail]

And non technically? 😄 I’ve seen streamers switching fast between this and potentially split into 3 screens in one as well and I can’t imagine that this is what they’ve done. It seems there’s some popular plug in / option yet I can’t find it

[fossil wyvern]

this is likely what they do, but set it beforehand and switch by switching scenes or smth

[obsidian agate]

even non-technically. A split-screen effect is nothing new. Even the original Parent Trap movie from 1961 did effects like that. Do you happen to have a link to a video of the fast switching between the 3 split screens by chance?

[fossil wyvern]

wow they had streamfx in 1961?

[obsidian agate]

lol

[left grail]

I never said it is something new, what I am interested in is a plug-in effect that can achieve this in a click of a button for when I want this effect. I dont have a link unfortunately, but that’s another screen shot

And she would switch back to regular view with a click of a button

[obsidian agate]

just have another scene with the camera source duplicated 3 times, then have a fade transition?

[fossil wyvern]

^

[harsh topaz]

2 scenes.

1. Normal Scene
2. Scene with source on it three times.

Switch from Scene 1 to Scene 2, back to Scene 1.

[left grail]

🤭 right I see, it’s just a workaround. I was really of thinking the girls are using a plug in within the same scene but changing scenes is also not a problem. (I can also put on my elgato)

[harsh topaz]

If you wanna get real fancy; use nested scenes.

[fossil wyvern]

or just a show/hide on sources with a hotkey

[harsh topaz]

Make a scene. Put in content you want to display (for example three of yourself like above).

Make another scene; standard single camera of yourself.

On your main scene; right click > add source > add scene - and pull both those scenes in.

Then set a hotkey to show/hide the 2 first scenes depending on what u want to show.

[left grail]

Sounds like multiple clicks so scene is probably a better idea

[harsh topaz]

That way your main scene can keep the overlay, and you just change the cameras 🙂

[fossil wyvern]

nope, you can have one hotkey for the whole of it

[left grail]

Will need to look into the nested scenes - I’m intending to use the same camera btw, not a different one. Never done this before but there shouldn’t be an issue re-adding the same camera sources multiple times?

[left grail]

I see 👀

[harsh topaz]

You can simply add the source over and over again.

Right click > camera > add existing source.

As many copies as your cpu/gpu can handle to run 😛

[left grail]

Sounds good, didn’t realise it would allow me to add twice and not just once additionally (when it comes to the same camera source)

[left grail]

Awesome 😄

The girls effect is so even however 👀 that’s what made me wonder.

[harsh topaz]

What she did:
Add 3x camera source
Crop one of them so it's 1/3 the width of a canvas (if you're on 1920px, that's 640px)
Copy the transformation from that one over to the other 2.

Now you have 3 cropped to fit sources. Align them next to eachother and voila.

(Looking at her crop, she didn't do a very accurate job. But it works I suppose)

[left grail]

Perfect way to explain it thank you 🤗 and since you’ve mentioned it you’re right haha… I can now see it’s not as even as it initially appears 😀

[harsh topaz]

You could even get real fancy with it and create a mask that blurs the edge - then have them appear fading into eachother to create a seamless transition between the three camera sources. Might be bit too much though

[left grail]

Ooohh tell me more

[fossil wyvern]

snorts cheetos powder
wanna talk about our lord and saviour adv-ss?

[left grail]

I could answer better if I knew what it was 🤣🤭

[harsh topaz]

Something like that.

[fossil wyvern]

dw, that was a joke, it's an obs plugin that lindeen and I share a common love for

[left grail]

Ah the mask ???

[harsh topaz]

Rightclick camera source => Filter => Image Mask/Blend => Alpha Mask color channel => Browser for the image.

[left grail]

Got it completely forgot about it 😄 used it before

[harsh topaz]

Always

[left grail]

I shall look it up 😀😀

[harsh topaz]

Anything new?

He ain't done an update since 11th of Feb.

[left grail]

I'm getting cravings for a new adv-ss version.

I've sent him at least 5 different ui improvement/fixes he could do 👀

It's usually minor things though - like not being able to drag and drop from this area - etc

[dense perch]

https://github.com/norihiro?tab=repositories has tons of OBS plugins, of which one that lets you source a source may be what you are describing

[lilac agate]

Good morning! First time here, first time diving into plugin dev. Super excited

[regal breach]

when do you need to bstrdup a string from calldata_string or obs_data_get_string? and do you need to bstrdup before obs_data_set_string?

i am so confused on const char

from what i'm seeing, i need to do it if i'm going to keep a reference of the string returned by the function, because otherwise, when i replace the string, the string in the data object is also changed

but i'm so confused now i don't know what's right

[boreal hearth]

I think that both calldata and obs_data manage the string so you have to copy it, if you want to use it for other stuff

[regal breach]

i see, thanks for confirming

Hello, I met a problem while accepting a pull request towards my OBS plugin, which replaces my home-made build steps with official plugin project template.
The continuous integration script now builds for macOS all the architectures (arm64, amd64, universal) and cost much time.
I don't use apple's compute and want to know if it's enough building the universal one only.

[wary escarp]

It should be enough to run universal in most scenarios

[still moth]

Hi guys. I'm looking for a plugin to keep track of level progress in a game, that I can manually change with a hotkey (so 1/50, 2/50, 3/50, etc). Is there anything like this around?

[untold jay]

@still moth https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/simple-increment-decrement-counter-with-hotkeys.1511/ Will this do?

[still moth]

That'll count up fine, I just don't think I could do what is essentially a fraction with it, as the input is just one number counting up sadly

[untold jay]

@still moth Add another text source for the "/50" part.

Nay, but a search for curated obs plugins might be fruitful

[minor thistle]

any chance you tried compiling just the 3D transform?

[mortal harbor]

No, sorry.

[minor thistle]

Hmm, might have to try that myself then. It's the last piece of the puzzle for a few streamers I know. They use orthographic and perspective transforms so the corner pin filters that are out there aren't good enough.

Try the corner pin shader in https://github.com/exeldro/obs-shaderfilter

I've reinstalled both OBS and the plugin and rebooted my PC too. Didn't seem to work.

Any ideas why?

[fossil wyvern]

likely using the wrong preset

[small furnace]

I'm using the same json and image file name. How do I know if it's the wrong preset?

[boreal hearth]

you're using the preview image instead of the actual layout texture

can someone help me with a problem? I'm trying to create a command so that as soon as I receive a sub, my printer prints a specific image, I'm trying to do this with Sammi, I even managed to make the image open at the time of the action, it's just missing being able to print automatically

[wise palm]

Nutty on YouTube made a video on this exact thing I do believe.

[wise palm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_VYktShA30

[minor thistle]

second sentence though. corner pin doesn't do what they need.

[untold pike]

Yes, but it doesn't work as well as I was thinking.

it would have to be a command to print an already saved image

Anyway, I'll keep trying here, thanks

I can't help tonight. Maybe I'll look into it later tomorrow (maybe)

[mystic frigate]

Does anyone know either an easy FX plugin (not streamFX as the creator locked it behind a paywall and seems to be very rude)
I found this and am super confused about how to get filters
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-shaderfilter-plus.929/

And I just can't figure out how to install this one
https://github.com/P90Ez/obs-StreamFX/releases/tag/0.12.0a173

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE!!!!

[untold jay]

@mystic frigate "Effects" are typically created through a combination of several tools; if you're referring to pixel shaders, those can be made using the obs-shaderfilter plugin. Not all tools that StreamFx provides have alternatives, but you can keep using obs-studio 27.2.4 with the latest stable version of StreamFX.

[mystic frigate]

I can't figure out how to load in or make shaders for the shadefilter plugin

AND WHERE IS THE STABLE VERSION OF STREAMFX AND HOW TO I GET IT INTO MY SYSTEM????? I am so horribly confused and becoming frustrated... and the paywall is pissin me off

thank you for the help

[untold jay]

@mystic frigate https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-StreamFX/releases/tag/0.11.1
If you haven't learned a shading language like HLSL or GLSL, you can't make pixel shaders,. you'd have to learn one or both of them first. Shaders written for StreamFX's shader implementation will require changes before they can work in obs-shaderfilter, and vice versa.

[mystic frigate]

I keep getting this with that version of stream fx

I found this too
https://github.com/Oncorporation/obs-shaderfilter/tree/master/data/examples
But idk how to load it in so that I can use with with shadefilter

[untold jay]

@mystic frigate You'd also need to run obs-studio 27.2.4.

[mystic frigate]

oh lemme see if I need to update

update is to 29.0.2

so hoping that will be fine

[untold jay]

@mystic frigate No, this version of StreamFX requires an older version of obs-studio.

[mystic frigate]

oh!

[kind plume]

hi im new to ups i have macbook Apple M1 Pro

ios ver13.2.1

can anyone please hlp me install plugin for background removel and ndi plugin

i do have whats app

i been trying for over a week nothing happen

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Request, in case you have one of them lists;
Source Dock => Inspect to the check list. A button you can press and inspect for the source will pop up.

[weak escarp]

I'm not sure what you mean with Inspect

[harsh topaz]

Browser sources have a right click inspect.

Was looking for an easy way to open the page and do some stuff that didn't involve studio mode right click inspect.

To be able to stay on scene and simply click an inspect button.

[weak escarp]

Ah, for browser sources

[harsh topaz]

Yep 👍

[weak escarp]

You mean the interact button? or the inspect you can do like in the browser dock?

[harsh topaz]

Inspect, so you can interact with the page in the popup window.

[weak escarp]

You know that when you source dock a browser source you don't need the interact popup, you can do the interactions in the source dock. If you don't want to add one for every source you can add a source dock that shows the selected source.

[harsh topaz]

Ideally it would be with a button to open it, otherwise it'd have to be open the entire time taking up a lot of screen space, or be really tiny to interact on.

[gaunt zealot]

Only half joking saying add the ability to create a second OBS window of just browser source docks with tabs to switch between a bunch of the sources

[gleaming shell]

HI, I installed the Bar raiders obs tools on to streamdeck so I have more control of sources and scenes, I had to install their websocket, but now obs is saying I need to update its obs web-socket or remove the one I have, I checked for an updated one but im only finding the one from Sept 2nd 22, which I already have. Is there a newer one somewhere?

[gaunt zealot]

The recent OBS Studio releases have websockets built into OBS itself. No external plugins required.

[gleaming shell]

So, i didnt need to install the websocket for Bar raiders?

[gaunt zealot]

Not unless it 100% sure needs the legacy 4.x websockets API, which it very likely doesn't (would mean the app hadn't been updated for quite some time)

[gleaming shell]

hmm, silly me, how would I path to it to remove it 😅

[gaunt zealot]

If you used the .exe installer, just uninstall from Add Remove Programs in Windows

[gleaming shell]

OH lordy, seems it installed older version of obs websocket, not one for them... I clowned that a bit huh lol

so, I could just update to the new one right?

[gaunt zealot]

There's no "new" one per se. It's built into OBS itself

[gleaming shell]

yeah, but like, OBS is asking me to update it tho?

[gaunt zealot]

If you have the latest version OBS installed, you have the current version of websockets

[gleaming shell]

yeah but im saying the thing I installed might of over rode the one that was already installed to an older version

[gaunt zealot]

Go to Help -> Check file integrity in OBS

Then after that go to Help -> Check for updates

[gleaming shell]

Okie dokie

lol so that actually installed the "updated" websocket, it flashed up saying installing

legend thank you

[tepid inlet]

Hello. Does anyone have any ideas why the OBS Teleport plugin would be not transmitting audio and video even though it's seemingly all setup as per instructions?

[untold jay]

@tepid inlet Firewalls are the most common cause of this, try disabling them temporarily on both ends and restart obs-studio; did that help?

[tepid inlet]

Looks like disabling it on sender pc makes it work but allowing OBS on firewall and restarting doesn't

[untold jay]

@tepid inletCreate a firewall rule that allows obs64.exe to receive inbound connections on the sending PC.

[tepid inlet]

Thank you so much!

[obsidian agate]

You could also stack it into another dock so its just a tab

[harsh topaz]

Eh still isn't ideal. You'd have to then change and drag it out and fullscreen it.

Again, ideal would be pressing a button docked and it popup with the usual inspect window.

[vestal burrow]

[halcyon turret]

Just curious about the obs plugin template, when you do a build (at least on Linux), you get a release folder and inside it are a few more folders data and obs-plugins.
When I add the release folder inside the plugins directory ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins it doesn't load when I open OBS. It wasn't until I copied the obs-plugins folder as bin did it start to recognize the custom plugin.

Was there a change in where OBS checks for the plugin path in recent versions? I could've swore it worked before but I could be wrong.
( I am currently on version 28.0.1)

To clarify:
~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/my-plugin/bin/64bit/my-plugin.so works
~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/my-plugin/obs-plugins/64bit/my-plugin.so doesn't work

[full kraken]

Trying to connect OBS and Macro Deck 2 but need help configuring the plugin. I have NO CLUE what I'm doing but I'm eager LOL

[shy flax]

Hi, how does OBS interact with plugins and how easy it is to make compatible low-level apps such as audio device managers against being false-positives or requesting admin rights?

[fossil wyvern]

I don't think you can install plugins on windows without admin rights? unless you're on a portable install I guess

[pearl dust]

Is there any other screenshots I need to send?

[fossil wyvern]

yes, show me what the macros you made are

[pearl dust]

Each one?

[fossil wyvern]

well let's start with the first one

[pearl dust]

Ok give me just a sec

[fossil wyvern]

ok, I'm guessing that all the rest are a variation of that with different scenes or are there any different ones?

[pearl dust]

Yea

[fossil wyvern]

ok, and if now you switch to the "forecast intro video" scene and wait 30 seconds, it doesn't move you?

[pearl dust]

It doesn’t do anything at all

[fossil wyvern]

!log
switch to any other scene, switch back to "forecast intro video", wait 30 seconds, send a log

just made this really quick, works fine.

maybe you need to use "for at least" instead of "for exactly"

Since it's about the plugin template, you may be more likely to get an answer in #development

[fierce ermine]

I have a question for those using PTZ cameras. I came into a few Pelco security cameras and thought they would be cool for recording my kids hockey games. The downfall is they are not ip cameras. They have coaxial or utp connections. I see the ptz plugin. Does anyone have a working setup like this and can it be done without the main “dvr” or joystick and go straight to the computer with obviously a dongle of sorts?

[analog ruin]

What is utp? All of my setups have been over ip, mainly RTSP. Not sure I see a decent path with coax, unless you run some sort of intermediary server that converts the signal

[quiet bramble]

utp = unshielded twisted pair (ie: CAT6 cable)

[analog ruin]

Yeah, that was the only thing I could think of, but if that isbit, then how is it not an IP camera? 😅

[gaunt zealot]

Could be HDBaseT, which isn't Ethernet

But yeah, if it's got RJ45 it's probably IP

[keen fog]

Could be serial over RJ45 too, but that's usually reserved for enterprise nonsense

[gaunt zealot]

Isn't serial for PTZ cameras over a round DIN connector?

usually anyways?

[keen fog]

Looks like, yeah. Round din to rj45, then probably needs some sort of chip or actual com port to connect to. Pretty similar to what I did for that switch, actually

[verbal mortar]

is there any cool pluggings that are a must use for beginners?

[untold jay]

@verbal mortarMost plugins are made to resolve a specific issue or enable a specific usecase; you can look through what's available at https://obsproject.com/forum/plugins/

[verbal mortar]

hmm

its just that my pc is low and i want to record smooth gamming video

with decent quality

[hard jay]

Plugins will take more resources to use, not less.

!autoconfig @verbal mortar

[oblique yew]

@verbal mortar

Please run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions. You can use this tool to get a set baseline settings for your hardware, and adjust as necessary from there.

[hard jay]

That's probably what you are looking for, though.

[verbal mortar]

oh yea

i saw that in a yt video

[hard jay]

If you need more help, I'd recommend the support channels for specific advice on your individual setup.

[verbal mortar]

[modest nest]

Hello guys! The only reason I still use StreamFX is because of its blur filter. What would be the best alternative to it, in your opinion? I believe a shader filter would do the trick, but what version and effect file do you use? Thanks!

[wary escarp]

https://github.com/prgmitchell/blur-filter

[modest nest]

Ha! Spot on! Did not knew about this, thanks for sharing 🙂

[hard jay]

That's the exact streamfx blur filter, just pulled in to a standalone plugin. :)

[modest nest]

The only thing I don't like about SFX blur filter is that it does not have 0 effect setting, with no blur applied, so it is impossible to animate, reliably, starting from or ending with zero blur level without messing with filter visibility

like using the move filter and streamer.bot

maybe using a shader filter would solve that?

[mortal harbor]

if you turn off the filters visibility immediately after moving the blur value to the lowest setting, it looks perfectly smooth. that is how i do it.

i'm toggling this with a streamdeck so it's easy to order things but you could also set this as a macro in advanced-scene-switcher.

[modest nest]

yes, that is the way, indeed. I wish it had a zero value, so I could leave the filter enabled and no blur or rescoures are used. I had asked the dev for it but I'm not sure he understood my idea, english is not my mother language (obviously)... Thanks!

[slate dawn]

How do I install OBS Studio Plugins

and where do I find them

[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

[quiet bramble]

You can layer 2 copies of a source one on top of each other, and on the top copy put the blur filter plus a color correction filter. You can then alter the amount of blur by varying the Opacity of the color correction filter over time.

[wary venture]

Or can use step-scaling

[night rivet]

Is there a plugin that can do audio ducking? Like, the music is set to a volume, but when I speak, it'll automatically decrease, and goes back to normal when I stop?

[oblique yew]

Sidechain compression (ducking) is available by using the Compressor filter on your audio sources. For a video guide, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Te2JERlInQ

[fierce ermine]

I’ll have to shoot a picture of it. I tried connecting it to a lan network and no luck. Doesn’t recognize it. The rj-45 has utp+/- tx+/- Rx+/- and power. Pulled the power out and gave it 24v but no luck. Looking at the cut sheet on these you can do coaxial control via bnc connection or pelco-d over the wire. Looks like low baud rate settings of 2400-9600. So guessing I will need a dvr device in order to pull the video from each camera and rs485 device to control them thru obs?

[fierce ermine]

I think it is serial 485 I’m guessing can’t pull video off of it unless it’s thru the coax

[gaunt zealot]

What's the camera model?

[fierce ermine]

Pelco spectra mini

[lucid pewter]

how do i see the chat thing i dont see it

[oblique yew]

To enable Chat docks for Twitch, Restream and YouTube, you will need to connect your account via Settings -> Stream.
If you'd like to enable chat docks for other services, you can use the Docks menu in the top menu bar, then select Custom Browser Docks. This allows you to include any webpage in OBS.

[frail mist]

I'm fairly new to streaming but have been watching for a long time. I'm not really sure how to add notifications to my stream i.e. bit donations, follows, subs. Are there plugins for this? I broadcast on twitch btw

[harsh topaz]

Usually done by something like Streamlabs. Not a plugin, so #stream-setup 🙂

[tardy herald]

how do i delete third party pluggins i downloaded for obs?

do i do that through obs or the files

[harsh topaz]

Open the folder and find the files. There's currently no plugin manager for OBS yet (Hopefully in one of the next versions🙏 ).

Files will be in \obs-plugins\64bit and \data\obs-plugins

[tardy herald]

okay thank you

[mortal harbor]

that ignores that most plugins are installed via an installer and can be uninstalled normally. manually removing will still leave them listed as installed applications.

[tardy herald]

they dont show up as a normal app

[harsh topaz]

@tardy herald this is true btw. Anything you ran an installer for, you can uninstall in add/remove programs.

[mortal harbor]

aitum doesn't? i'm not on my windows machine to test but that doesn't seem right.

[tardy herald]

theyre not showing up

[tardy herald]

yea

[harsh topaz]

There might also be some third party apps that install themselves in another path. I forgot where, but its a global path. Really annoying, like Streamdeck from Elgato.

Wonder where we're at with removing Portable mode from pulling plugins in from that path..

[tardy herald]

its called vertical canvas window installer

i found the installer

so i can just delete the installer and i'll be fine?

[mortal harbor]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/8079
already merged

[harsh topaz]

You have to run the uninstaller, or remove it in add/remove programs

[harsh topaz]

[tardy herald]

how do i run the uninstaller? cuz its not showing up on add/remove

[harsh topaz]

If its not in add/remove, I'd simply remove the files from my plugin folder.

[tardy herald]

right now i cant find those files just the installer

[harsh topaz]

I don't know if vertical canvas does any convoluted stuff.

I've heard people having issues with crashes etc though.

[mortal harbor]

vertical canvas does show in the add/remove programs list if it is installed.

[tardy herald]

thats weird it isnt showing up

even though i installed it

[harsh topaz]

Sebastian ofc, legend.

[tardy herald]

could i uninstall obs and with those pluggins in it?

[short monolith]

yo how do i make it so i can record discord

Hey all,

I was wondering if there is a magnifying glass plugin. I know Follow & zoom, but I'm looking for an effect like in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fkG7GJ_H08&t=596s). From what I can see in this video it's a browser plugin, so not the streaming software.

The only plugin I see popping up when searching for it on Google is the Follow and Zoom, but that works differently.

Thanks for the help!

[obsidian remnant]

Hi is there a way to uninstall the old NDI 4.5.1 runtime on macOS? There seems to be no documentation what this runtime installer is doing and where it puts it's files. Thank you.

[thorny cedar]

Hey people! Is there a plugin that can capture a specific HTML element of a page?

[untold jay]

@thorny cedar No, but someone with sufficient CSS knowledge will be able to hide everything but that element.

[thorny cedar]

Rather not hide all the chess.com elements lol

I just dislike cropping out the chess board, but guess thats the only way

[untold jay]

@thorny cedar Add a Crop/Pad filter and remove unwanted parts?

[analog ruin]

does the chess.com api allow you to query the current state of the board in DGT format?

or is that only for proper tournaments?

[thorny cedar]

i dont think chess.com allows u to request any games using their API

[analog ruin]

thats too bad 😅

[thorny cedar]

yea did that but just grabbing the element would've been nice

[low island]

To try and provide a little more detail..... I have my source set as Droidcam OBS and the only device shown is Use Wifi IP, I have my droid plugged in through the USB port and Droidcam OBS running but when I "refresh device list" it doesn't find my phone, also my laptop is plugged in to the router and I'm not using WiFi. This all works fine on my PC but not my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[spiral ruin]

Did you follow the USB setup guide from Droidcam?

[low island]

There wasn't a guide that I saw

[spiral ruin]

https://www.dev47apps.com/obs/usage.html

scroll down to the section called USB setup, open the one for your mobile OS.

[low island]

ty. I'll try it now

[low island]

Ok. I did those steps and it still doesn't work

[spiral ruin]

I'm not sure then. It can be difficult to troubleshoot a USB connection without being right in front of your PC. Double-check the USB connection guide, make sure you didn't skip a step.

[regal breach]

https://www.chess.com/news/view/published-data-api#pubapi-endpoint-games PGN format is supported

[regal breach]

pretty sure it does based on some paragraphs i read on the api page even if i haven't used it myself

[thorny cedar]

only for team matches

not just any live game

[regal breach]

yeah seems like it, but you said "i dont think chess.com allows u to request any games using their API"

which is what i'm responding to

[thorny cedar]

technicality

[regal breach]

but either way, this one i linked to doesn't seem to be tied to only team matches

[low island]

Thanks for your help! I got it working now. Had to download the Samsung USB driver from the same site

[regal breach]

not that i'm suggesting you use the api, because i don't see why you wouldn't just crop things out or use css

[peak linden]

Thought I'd give an update about this search of mine 😄
I found I have two options outside of OBS:
Windows Magnifier (I didn't know it existed :D) (no circular option)
Pointer Focus (has spotlight, pen and magnifier all built-in, all circular. It has a free trial version and a paid version, which costs only $12.5 with 1 year of free upgrades. After that you can get upgrades for 50% of the initial buy price. Seems like a fair deal if it works as shown in the video)

Enjoy your evening everyone!

[analog ruin]

Have you looked into whether this one does what you want? 🙂
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/zoomit

[peak linden]

Thanks for the tip! I'll check that one out as well. I'm kinda fond of the circular form, though. But I see zoomit has several interesting functions as well.

[regal breach]

they wanted the floating magnifying glass image i think

[peak linden]

That indeed.

[analog ruin]

like an actual onscreen magnifying glass? 😅

[regal breach]

yep

was tempted to say zoom and follow + source clone

but quickly realized it would need a bit more to do

[peak linden]

Yep. I saw that in a livestream from VidIQ on YouTube. It turns out they used a browser plugin. But I need something that works in art programs like Blender and such, in game engines like Unity and Unreal and in Writing software like Scrivener 🙂

[peak linden]

Thanks for thinking with me!

I initially had Follow & Zoom on my list indeed, until I saw the livestream from VidIQ 😄

[peak linden]

Ah, looking into further, zoomit (at least looking at the demo video) seems like a presentation tool on its own, is that correct? If I see it correctly it wouldn't work in other programs. Am I right with that assumption?

[analog ruin]

yes, its made as a presentation tool. Very very flexible

it should work with other programs. Think it would work with anything

At least I've used it for images and text I had on screen

to zoom, draw/annotate

[peak linden]

Ah..... Well, in that case it won't work for me, I think. For example, I will be running OBS with Unity displayed in it, but also Blender or other art programs. For my writing sessions, I'll work in Scrivener and do the livestream in OBS with Scrivener linked.

I think PointerFocus might be the better tool for me in this case.

Thanks for thinking with me, though!

[analog ruin]

yeah, I guess I didn't properly understand the usecase 🤭 I still dont, really, but I'll just trust that you know. At least now you know of the tool, which I think its pretty cool 😌

[regal breach]

well, Flaeri did say it will work in other programs

so they were saying that your assumption is wrong

Hello. Tell me, can I fix this problem?
If I separate audio streams using the "app audio" plugin, then about once an hour on the stream there is a sound bug. Example at the link.
If I send all audio (game+music+discord) through one audio channel, then everything is ok.
I would like to separate audio streams, it is very convenient for streaming. But the sound bug is very disturbing to my viewers.

[hard jay]

You're not doing anything wrong, we suspect it's a bug with the Windows API for audio capture.

[feral moat]

Do I understand correctly that I need to wait for the plugin to exit the beta version?

[hard jay]

It's not an issue with the plugin, but Windows itself we're pretty sure.

But, effectively, yes.

ok, thanks 😢

hello all

what would be some really useful plugins for obs studio?

i'd take any recommendations!

[obsidian agate]

!plugins

[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

[knotty hatch]

that can make life/recording easier or anything like that

ok thanks will take a look

[fleet fractal]

will the OBS se.live plugin work for beta.meetme.com ?

[fossil wyvern]

!se
that's a question better asked to SE directly

[oblique yew]

If you need help with StreamElements products or services, please join their Discord server or submit a support ticket as we cannot provide further assistance here.

[fleet fractal]

THANKS AGAIN!

[peak linden]

Perhaps I misunderstood 😀

[stable egret]

SE.Live is a desktop plugin for OBS, It will not work on mobile devices

[queen acorn]

Was there a plugin or script that allowed you to move a source based on audio levels?

I know there's a scale to audio plugin, but I want one to move, not scale.

[regal breach]

the move filter plugin lets you move a source

i believe there's also a way with it to turn on the move filter when the audio level changes

with how many filters the plugin includes, i'm not really sure which ones you need, but there's also advanced scene switcher

!sceneswitcher

[oblique yew]

An advanced scene switcher plugin, with options for timed switching, cursor detecting, and further automation options, is available for OBS Studio on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download links and installation instructions can be found here: http://obsproject.com/forum/resources/395/

[regal breach]

this can let you turn on the move filter when the audio level changes, along with other very useful actions and conditions

[queen acorn]

The move transition plugin? Or is there a filter plugin you mentioned?

[regal breach]

that plugin adds a bunch of Move filters as well

[vale vine]

Is far more versatile than it's name implies

Just like ASS

[minor thistle]

you can do that with just Move transition for sure

These vids are old, but the process is essentially still the same to set up the Audio Move filter:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1122127743
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1122291349

First one shows how to set up the Audio Move and the second one is using the Transform property (which is what you'd want to change the X and Y positions)

[vale vine]

Using ASS makes it more fun though

[minor thistle]

you just like saying ASS

[vale vine]

Yea, but...who doesn't?

[glass crag]

Hi... Idk if I should ask for this here, but does someone had issues with the move transition not moving the source clones as expected?

[mortal harbor]

Usually best to just say what specifically is happening/not working and give as many details as possible. What is happening? What is expected? How have you set up your move transition?

[glass crag]

Could I send a video here? The source mirror are not working. I have two scenes. One with a color source and the other scene with a source mirror, mirroring this color source. I create the move transition and it keeps not moving the same source, it keeps bringing the new scene above the other

If I create a third scene, and make another source mirror, it works how it should, the problems seems to be with the scene with the original source color transitioning to the scene with the source mirror

[vale vine]

check the transform on the scene/source not working. they need to match

this specifically iirc

[glass crag]

I checked. They are the same

As you can see... When I click on the Scene with the original source color, it overlaps and not move the square

If I click between the two scenes with the Source Mirror, it works

[regal breach]

Go to the Scene Transitions Dock and select Move, then open its properties. Take a screenshot of it

[hard jetty]

please let me know if this is in the wrong channel and which it should be in, but is there a plugin or tool that allows obs to see the chat on an obs dock of some sort for facebook live stream, when also streaming on youtube? i have the plugin to dual stream but i am trying to figure out how to view both chats at the same time, even if its on 2 different chat docks. so i have youtube chat in the bultin dock already. just trying to add the facebook one. any ideas? if this belongs in the #windows-support lemme know and ill move it

[solar ice]

So having issues with the obs teleport plugin. On one PC it connects but a black screen shows, or if switched it won't connect. Same issue with NDI.
Anyone got any idea what I can try to do? I've tried obs 27, 28, and 29. I can't really think on what I should do next.

[regal breach]

Someone has mentioned that https://restream.io/ has a combined chat feature, and that it doesn't require streaming to restream.io

[hard jetty]

doesnt restream cost?

[regal breach]

There's a free edition afaik

[hard jetty]

i see... soooo no way to put it in a obs dock then? ive used restream, and it has to work thru the browser and im not exxactly a fan of that

[regal breach]

You have to go your firewall settings on both PCs and allow obs64.exe to go through

[regal breach]

You could just add the url restream gives into a custom browser dock

In View > Docks > Custom Docks

[hard jetty]

ok, lemme put it a different way... without using restream. as for the custom browser dock, is there a way to put a facebook chat in there that way?

or a plugin to add facebook to it?

[harsh topaz]

https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream#readme ?

[regal breach]

You can add facebook chat that way, yes, but the url fb gives you won't combine the chat with the other chat

[harsh topaz]

https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream#supported-sites

[hard jetty]

lemme have a look at it ty. even if they r in seperate docks thats ok. as long as they can show in the obs app

[harsh topaz]

To my knowledge it consolidates all charts from all streams into one.

[hard jetty]

noice

ty

[harsh topaz]

But I'm far, far from a social stream expert.

[hard jetty]

ill go check this out

[solar ice]

Hey is that easy to do? Never done that before 😦

[harsh topaz]

You could join the discord for support if it gets to that.

[hard jetty]

yeah i found this one already... it requires chrome to stay open. was hoping to not have chrome open when using the chat =\

[harsh topaz]

Even when adding chrome to a browser dock?

Like I said; not an expert at all. Just seen people adding it as a browser dock in various screenshots.

[regal breach]

Type "allow an app through Windows Firewall" in Windows Search and press Enter. Look for the OBS Studio entry and make sure Private and Public is checked for that entry. Restart OBS after.

[hard jetty]

according to the docs u have to have th pop out chats open in order to use the chats

[solar ice]

Will do, thank you!

[harsh topaz]

Okay, then it's probably the case. Sorry. You can always join the discord and ask specifics if there's anything not specifically mentioned.

[solar ice]

Will update once all that is done

[regal breach]

If the above instructions aren't enough, you may also have to open the properties of the network you're connected to and change it to a private network

[hard jetty]

yeahhhh in order for the chrome ext to work it has to b open during the stream

[solar ice]

Will reach out if that first set of information you sent me doesn't work

[hard jetty]

not gonna work for me

[regal breach]

Any reason why you can't just leave the browser windows open?

[hard jetty]

A. takes a bunch of resources to use chrome, more than im willing to use
B. the current setup revolves around closing the browser which has a lot of tabs i am not gonna reopen over and over each time i stream just to get this to work.
C. im not always there to run the stream for the organization so if someone has to fill in, they may not know what to do as easily as i so im trying to make this as simple as possible

if i absolutely have to keep it open and this plugin is the only way to do it, ill have to create a whole new profile on chrome to set this up each time.. but id rather not if possible

[regal breach]

B. You could just create a separate profile that contains only the necessary tabs

A. You could use other browsers that are supported, not necessarily chrome

Edge and brave are okay

C. Any big setup would definitely require some instructions in a docs or text file

There's a point where you do have to add some instructions

Well, you could always just add the separate chat docks if you so wish

Or find another chat combining software

[hard jetty]

i dont really feel like explaining the whole set up. yes i have instructions. yes i have docs, yes it would cause a lot more overhead in the current set up that we have. and yes if i knew how to set up a facebook dock i would . looks like google is the answer,..

[regal breach]

Any url you open in a browser can be added to Custom Browser Docks

So you just get the url for your fb chat, plop it in obs, done

[hard jetty]

ill go google how to isolate the fb chat.

[regal breach]

On fb, there's a button to pop out the chat

Which opens the chat in a new window

[hard jetty]

got it

[solar ice]

Hey, just wanna say thank you. It works! However it doesn't show my webcam, I think that's more of an NDI type of thing. I thought it picked up everything but it looks like that might not be the case. I'll try re-downloading ndi and go from there

[regal breach]

What webcam? Does it use ndi?

[solar ice]

I'm using a Logitech c930e I believe. So not to sure if it does or not.

[regal breach]

Does the webcam show in the first pc?

[solar ice]

No, just shows my background

[regal breach]

Try opening the properties of the webcam in obs?

[solar ice]

I might be able to use my iPhone as a camera if this doesn't work. Okay will try that

[regal breach]

Also, if the first pc doesn't even show the camera, ndi is not the problem here

[solar ice]

Got it working, seriously this drove me nuts. Thank you for your help and time

[regal breach]

You're welcome!

[velvet cloak]

Hello, are there any boiler plate example scripts for python for obs that kinda shows you how to show script properites and save them etc

i can just copy of some scripts but thought their may be some easier ones i can yank the basic structure from

[regal breach]

https://github.com/upgradeQ/OBS-Studio-Python-Scripting-Cheatsheet-obspython-Examples-of-API
I don't know if there's such a boilerplate script, but this one has many examples

[ruby grove]

Im trying to automatically unfreeze stream when it stops with advanced scene switcher. It doesnt work for me and now i found the problem. Can someone tell me how to fix it.

"invalid target size"

When stream freezes it doesnt refresh it

[gaunt zealot]

Please upload actual screenshots or, even better, the actual file. Camera photos are... no

[ruby grove]

Ok

file is too large

sorry bad ss

advanced ss works but only few times it resets stream, and then it stops reseting it and stream stays froozen

[harsh topaz]

If you don't find a help to this, go to
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/advanced-scene-switcher.48264/page-127
and ask the developer himself.

I'd recommend creating a log as small as possible, the error in it - then uploading him the log. Makes life a lot easier in most situations.

[forest quail]

Hi everyone. Hoping you can help.

I've just started using an input reader plugin and I've got it working fine but I'd love for the overlay to record the Glorious Model O's "button 6" instead of the mouse wheel press. I assume I simply replace the "id" of the button in the .json file but I can't find any documentation online on how to find the internal id of this particular button (I.E. mmb, lmb, rmb, smb1)

[boreal hearth]

unless that button corresponds to any of the buttons on a normal five button mouse or a keyboard key it most likely won't work

[forest quail]

Hmm that's unfortunate if that is the case. It's annoying because said button is mapped to Alt and pressing said button doesn't register Alt as being pressed so I'm trying to find the next best solution.

[boreal hearth]

so If you load the qwerty layout and you press that button the alt key does not react to it?

[forest quail]

Correct. I've tried all the presets.

I think I've found something for now. If I increase the "press time" event in the macro (as I can't just select a key like I can in say iCUE) qwerty now picks this up. At 150ms, this didnt pick it up before.

[untold jay]

@forest quail obs-studio's hotkey thread runs every 25ms, so you should "hold" all virtual key presses for at least 50ms for them to capture reliably.

[drifting compass]

can anyone help me in installing this blur filter

https://github.com/prgmitchell/blur-filter#readme

i have downloaded and extracted the files now what to do next

[quiet bramble]

Depends on what you downloaded and extracted. In general, it is best to download the installer then install that instead of an archive.

[bright sapphire]

This was answered and "resolved" in #windows-support - cross posting

[cinder tapir]

I'm using obs in studio. We've switched to using multiple cameras. We also stream to Facebook and YouTube using the multiple plugin.

The issue is twofold.

1. I have to start a stream and end it in order for the plug-in to work. That means i have to delete a 10s video each time i stream.
2. When i start the stream via the multiple output plugin, the Facebook will hold until i press go live. The YouTube goes live immediately even though i schedule a start time. This means i can't set up the stream for YouTube until I'm ready to go live.

[mortal bridge]

I have a weird request. Does anyone know HOW TF to get this 3d chat behind yourself ? As you can see she's not using a greenscreen and it's just a static shot of her room

It's 100% a combination of plugin for obs but googling didn't yield any results

[gaunt zealot]

She's using a chroma/color key, but it's keying off something other than what you'd expect. There's also breaking the source video into layers and using a 3D transform of the web browser that's rendering chat. It's a question for #stream-setup

[mortal bridge]

Ha my bad that channel wasn't visible on my list for some reason. thanks :) I really don't think she's using a chroma key, because in some clips you can see the microphone clipping behind the chat, so it's something detecting her silhouette

exhibit A

[gaunt zealot]

There's options... to be discussed in #stream-setup

[mortal bridge]

Alright i'll move there :) thanks

[cinder tapir]

So does anyone here know how to fix the two issues i posted?

I asked over in #windows-support and they advised me to post over in here.

[harsh topaz]

Don't expect people to go searching for things that might be buried. I'd suggest you link the post you're referring to here 🙂

[lethal blaze]

2 questions how do I run my Logitech camera through OBS and why won’t my Own3d plug-in pop up under my tools like it’s supposed to?

[wise palm]

2nd problem is easy enough to fix, set your FB stream to route thru restream dot io, just remember to keep your YT stream as the default in OBS or you'll end up with a horribly low quality video on YT thanks to YT garbage compression

[cinder tapir]

YouTube is the default.

[wise palm]

Then just change your Multi-RTMP from Facebook to Restream, and link Restream to Facebook, and it can solve your problem

[wind heron]

✌️

[fresh urchin]

Quick Question, yes I know the GDI Text source doesn’t allow emojis but is there a plugin or script that allows like twitch emojis with text source? (Sorry if this is Wrong Channel)

[wise palm]

What are you trying to do exactly?

[cinder tapir]

I'm not having any issues with Facebook. I'm having problems with YouTube.

[fresh urchin]

So I’m working on a Tiktok redeem channel point and and my viewers type an input on the channel reward it would go on screen but I was hoping I could get it if they add a emote it would also go on the screen.

If that makes sense… I hope 😂

[wise palm]

I don't know much about TikTok streaming.
But most stuff that talks to Twitch allows for Emojis.
There are ways you can have the Twitch API have Emojis appear on screen when they type in chat.
There are ways you can have a chatbox that also has working Emojis

[fresh urchin]

Like it’s not TikTok streaming it just records like a TikTok vertical

[wise palm]

How creative do you want it? Maybe checkout "Personal Pet" stream buddy - You could easilly set that up to work for Emojis. That might give some personality to your Stream that most people don't have

[fresh urchin]

Does that involve coding? Because I can’t code worth crap 😂

[wise palm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl4cilhnaPo

Doesn't involve coding, no

You tell the Pet what word, phrases, events, users, and/or Emojis you want it to react to, and how you want it to react

[fresh urchin]

Because I use the bot streamer bot I have the whole action working of course but the last thing I thought would be cool would be emotes when they type in the channel point reward input spot

Because Nutty a YouTuber got it to work from coding but I suck 😂 at it 😂

[wise palm]

You would set the trigger to say POGCHAMP, then give it the text you want it to display, the sound you want it to play if any, what animations and everything.

I have mine set so when someone chats for the 1st time in a given stream it changes from an idle animation to a Chibi style dizzy animation with a confused "WHAT?!?!" sound, then she tells the chat to be good Minions

My 1st bit of coding was kinda a bootleg job. I used a YouTube video as reference to set a custom alert with a custom font. It took a couple days, but I managed to get all my Alerts to display in the font from the game I play the most, I later did the same for my Chat, but decided the chat was too hard to read for those that don't play the game so I decided against it

[fresh urchin]

I like the personal pet thing but I don’t want a character on the screen if you know what I mean

[wise palm]

Well it don't have to be. You can remove the character, or better yet - replace the character with an image of the emoji. You can make it different for each command, and it don't HAVE to be on all the time, just when someone triggers an emoji 😄

[fresh urchin]

Can I send a link really quick to show u an example of what I’m talking about 😂 to yt

[wise palm]

sure

[fresh urchin]

Start watching at 6:35; https://youtu.be/thqtAfCD6g8

[wise palm]

I'm not sure how to do that exactly

[fresh urchin]

Dang that’s why I was a good script or plug-in 😂

[regal breach]

I dont know why he had to write his own browser source though

Surely you could just host a local web server

[fresh urchin]

😂 I don’t know how to do that either 🤷‍♂️ 😂

@regal breach I’m not smart 😂

[dusky basin]

a browser source is a web page

where it comes from (a webserver or not) is not often relevant

he just uses a browser source there, with a custom web page in it, because it's the most advanced text rendering engine that OBS has access to

[vivid wren]

Anyone have a pre made profile with scenes and sources for streaming with nested scenes ?

I lost everything I really don’t feel like starting from scratch again please 🙏🏻

[mortal harbor]

it doesn't really work that way, everyone's set up would be different and individualized.

[vivid wren]

That’s fine just having to setup everything again will take me a week

[solar cipher]

Hello everyone, I am getting the obs-text.dll crash at exit of OBS on Windows 11, am trying to cleanup my plugins to see where it comes from.

can't remember what is this soundtrack-plugin I installed...

[vapid charm]

Most likely the twitch soundtrack one.

[solar cipher]

ah yeah, will try to delete the .dll manually.

[analog ruin]

does your mute lua script do anything with text? That would be my first guess

[solar cipher]

will check too, thanks

sorry maybe I should have posted this to #windows-support

[analog ruin]

maybe 😄

[solar cipher]

I guess it was the lua script, that's weird its goal was only to mute an audio source

thanks 🙂

[analog ruin]

yeah, idk 😂 I don't know what the lua script is. And even if I read it, my LUA skills are non-existant, so I might not even be able to find the problem

[regal breach]

You could send it here, i think i can somewhat read it

!sceneswitcher or just use this plugin for automation

[oblique yew]

An advanced scene switcher plugin, with options for timed switching, cursor detecting, and further automation options, is available for OBS Studio on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download links and installation instructions can be found here: http://obsproject.com/forum/resources/395/

[lucid pewter]

why cant i see my chat box?

[mortal harbor]

any help for a music visualizer

like a god tier visualizer

[regal breach]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/waveform.1423/
You could try this

!plugins or look for others here

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio supports a variety of plugins that provide new kinds of sources, filters, and additional features.

[mortal harbor]

preciate it

if you can tell by my current stream im trying to find a better visualizer then plane9

[mortal harbor]

is there anyway to make an image kind of bounce to audio?

[vale vine]

Move plugin can do that I believe

[mortal harbor]

would you mind linking me to it?

[vale vine]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move-transition.913/

[reef jay]

This might be a better place to ask. Is there a way to use color detection to cause events to happen like place a scene or w.e?

[vale vine]

Maybe woth advanced scene switcher?

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/advanced-scene-switcher.395/

[reef jay]

im a little new to this. Basically what im trying to do is have obs detect a color in gameplay which will then enable a movie source to play if that makes sense?

So for example health bar goes grey which means ive lost life triggers blood splatter on screen which is a scene with transparency and blood

[vale vine]

Advanced scene switcher has the ability to find preset matches of screen to use to trigger things

I'd suggest looking at that plugin and playing with it

[reef jay]

Downloading now. How difficult is it for a new user would you say? Just trying to pick a time today to mess with it.

[mortal harbor]

to look for a color isn't going to be very obvious. you would need to use the pattern detection feature to take a screenshot of section that has that health bar when it is grey. this guide touches on it a bit https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Activate-overlay-to-hide-parts-of-the-screen
