[vale vine]

Or was that a different plugin he fixed based on your feedback?

[harsh topaz]

Am aware of the unfortunate StreamFX situation.

[obsidian agate]

I havent had a good chance to check the fix he put in, but i believe it was for the 3D Effect one

[fossil wyvern]

that's not shaderfilter

[vale vine]

That's what I thought

[silent herald]

Are there any plugins that can make your videos high quality

[oblique yew]

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.

[elfin brook]

Has anyone else struggled with the latest streamelements live plug-in update?
I had to delete all the files and reinstall it but during the choose your folder phase it would "not respond" and be blank for a second before you have to just click next
(I managed to get it to work but I think it might be a bug and I'm unsure where to go for that 😅 or maybe my pc is broken )

[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.

[elfin brook]

I see, thank youuu

[rich fable]

my shit keep crashin, how i fix it

[oblique yew]

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

[hard jay]

I'd recommend just rebooting at that point, and running the installer again.

[vivid basalt]

Is it okay to ask for help of plugins here?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, it's the point of the channel

[vivid basalt]

I mean it's not a support channel it's a channel for development discussion

Which is why I asked

[spiral ruin]

This one goes both ways, covers development and some quick support.

[vivid basalt]

Ty Papa! I just wanted to make sure

[mortal harbor]

so, what was the question?

[spring ruin]

Does anyone know of a way to do any conditional operations with the Move Transition plugin? For example, I have a few filters set up to show/hide 2 sources, and right now it'll hide source A, and show source B, but then go back to source A after a delay... I only want it to go back to source A if it were visible (ie opacity or transform in a known spot) in the first place

[mortal harbor]

i don't know if it does or doesn't but advanced scene switcher can handle that sort of thing as well.

[spring ruin]

hmmm but that's just for switching scenes? or can it apply to other things?

More context, I have a Menu, and a Recipe Card... I have keybinds set up to show either, and it will also hide all others... But I have another set of keybinds that will hide the Menu, and show the Recipe card for 20 seconds with a visual countdown bar, then hide the Recipe and show the Menu again. But this requires me knowing which state the scene is in... I can live with that, but I want users to be able to type like !recipe and temporarily show the Recipe card, but not show the Menu if it wasn't shown beforehand

[mortal harbor]

!sceneswitcher @spring ruin

[oblique yew]

@spring ruin

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/

[mortal harbor]

the "macros" section of the plugin is what you'll want to look at.

[spring ruin]

thank you!

I think this just might indeed be what I want

almost seems like it should be it's own plugin 😅

[empty fractal]

Hi admin and everyone, I want to set round or elliptical frame mode for the "Scene" screen to show my face.

Can someone guide me?
Or recommend me a plugin that can solve this problem.

Thank you everyone

[hard jay]

You can use a mask filter for that.

!filters

[oblique yew]

You can fine-tune your video and audio sources using filters. To access Filters, you can either:

• click on the Filters button on the source toolbar
  OR
• right click on your source (or click the Gear icon next to an audio source) and select Filters

See the Filters Guide for more information on what filters are available and how they work.

[hard jay]

Is there a plugin here for Twitch that can automatically display a text message to the stream from the streamer's latest messages said during the stream? There's a paid service available but I'm looking to see if there are any free alternatives. Something like if I said "I'm looking to find more of this item later" during my chat log, it displays that message to the speech bubble below. I have no mic, for context. I hope I was clear enough when describing what I'm looking for.

[sand rain]

could anyone advise me on how to get the soundtrack by twitch companion plugin to work keeps saying cant install, ive been trying all week, im runnung windows 11

[bright sapphire]

Twitch would be the support source. Did find this 🙂 https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/soundtrack?language=en_US#download

[fossil wyvern]

just to say, you don't actually need the plugin to be using soundtrack by twitch, and I would actually recommend not using it

[timber wedge]

hey guys, is there any plugin (except Stream FX) that create cam filter / shaders for funny moments? Thanks

[weak escarp]

https://github.com/exeldro/obs-shaderfilter/releases

[fossil wyvern]

do you not have a page for it in the obs resources? I was trying to find it there but I could only find other outdated plugins

[weak escarp]

I did not put it on the obs resources page yet, because it is a fork from and not my own.

[fossil wyvern]

ouki, fair, ty 👍

[harsh topaz]

Is the shaderfilter being actively developed and supported by anyone else?

[spring ruin]

there was a commit yesterday on exeldro's fork: https://github.com/exeldro/obs-shaderfilter

if i were to run any, it'd be that one

[spring ruin]

Anyone know of a cool tool like t2t2 that allows you to create custom buttons to send arbitrary websocket requests?

[harsh topaz]

I'm aware that he maintains it. Was more a reference to him not wanting to put it on the OBS project plugin page since if is just a fork.

But if no one else is actively maintaining it, I don't see a reason anyone would be hurt by him having it up there so it's available to people.

[weak escarp]

I have plans to make it more my own and add it as an obs resource after that

[harsh topaz]

Have anyone bought the NDI Android app? I bought it recently and was disappointed. I can't use it as I thought it would be as a paid app.
OBS Ninja and Ip cam apps are free and do almost the same job.

Wondering what benefit NDI Android App would have over DroidCam apps.

VDO.Ninja is pretty great ye 🙂

Hi all! I'm setting up tuna for displaying Spotify title. I want to make the title slide when it exceed the pre-set length, while if it is shorter it remains stationary. So far I've only been able to make it always scroll in a loop or not scroll at all. How should i do? Thanks 🙂

[compact cedar]

hi, im trying to get the obs websocket plugin to work and when i open obs it keeps saying that i need to update it or uninstall it, how do i fix it?

nvm i figured it out

[solar dust]

Since OBS Studio 28, obs-websocket is already included.
If you try to install version meant for earlier version, it'll replace the included obs-websocket.

[mortal harbor]

Anyone happen to get a crash in obs when grouping macros in advss ?

[regal breach]

Have you checked if that is the latest version of advss?

If it is, report it to the plugin page in the obs forums

[mortal harbor]

It's the latest version yes

I have already informed the author and provided the crash log

[mortal harbor]

Maybe it's due to the 50 macros that I have with at least 3 or more conditions 🙃

[broken phoenix]

please

[regal breach]

tbh, i'm pretty sure there's nothing available yet for that with the built in text source, because what you're asking for is simply that complicated

there are a few approaches you could go with

hold on an idea popped in

ah got it

you would have to write your own script, changing the text source to Bound to Outer Bounds

then you would check the size of the text source. if it is bigger than what it should be, turn on the scroll filter

and you would do this every time the text changes

you would probably also have to edit the cropping, because obs doesn't crop that out with outer bounds

or you could put the text source in a scene, configure the size you want, then apply a crop filter on the scene itself

yes i know it's complicated

[fossil wyvern]

tbh browser source is probs the easiest

[regal breach]

yep

but does the tuna plugin support browser source

[fossil wyvern]

afaik it writes shit to local text files that are then read by text sources, so a browser source could likely also read them

[regal breach]

btw, how would you approach the auto scroll thing? pretty much the same as what i've said, but in js?

[fossil wyvern]

yee

[broken phoenix]

yeah i see lol

[fossil wyvern]

other possible option :
use a monospace font and use adv-ss to check the number of characters in the text

use that as condition to trigger the scrolling

[broken phoenix]

uhh i'll see thx 😄

[fossil wyvern]

oh wait actually no, there is better, the transform doesn't just have scale, it also has size, so you can check the transform for size

can't do that with adv-ss cause it doesn't have comparison tho, just match

so you'd have to run a script likely

[broken phoenix]

thx, btw i don't know how to create a script for this and integrate it with tuna, i will search, thx again

[oblique yew]

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

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

[boreal hearth]

It does, it can provide metadata via a local webserver which can be accessed by the browser source, there's an example html widget that does that.

[regal breach]

ooooh that's cool

[regal breach]

yeah that was what i suggested 😄

[fossil wyvern]

oh sorry didn't see

So yesterday I enabled the nvidia blur background effect within the elgato camera hub app, opened OBS and it was working fine, now I try again today and the effect isn't there despite not having changed anything. I've restarted OBS and the elgato camera hub, as well as disabled and reenabled the effect. Still nothing. Any suggestions clever people?

[oblique yew]

The redistributables required for the NVIDIA Noise and Background Removal filters can be found here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/

Once both are installed,

The NVIDIA Noise Removal option will appear as part of the "Noise Suppression" filter, alongside RNNoise and Speex.
The NVIDIA Background Removal option will appear as its own filter under "Effect Filters."

[pine horizon]

Hi guys! New here. I need some help! I have been using obs in 2 streamings already and learning it to use it. I have seen people that uses it to stream MSFS 2020 flights and there is info like speed, altitude FPM (vertical speed at landing) besides, showing when there is a new susbcriber or member or donations... How do I get that too? or any of thouse?

[oblique yew]

If you're new to OBS Studio:

• follow the Quick Start Guide to set up your first scene and get streaming/recording
• learn more about the interface in the Overview Guide
• follow the Stream Layout Tutorial series to create a stream-friendly layout, including setting up alerts and a chat box

If you prefer to learn with videos, check out:

• our OBS Studio Tutorials video series presented by EposVox
• EposVox's OBS Studio Master Class series
• Nerd or Die's How to Stream with OBS Studio series

[burnt ledge]

this doesn't answer my question at all. I am not looking for noise suppression or background removal. I have enable the blur background effect, yesterday it was working fine, today, the effect isn't there despite not having changed anything

[fossil wyvern]

blur background effect in OBS?

[burnt ledge]

it's a setting I enabled in elgato camera hub (my camera settings app), worked automatically yesterday in OBS, now its not working at all

its an nvidia effect

[fossil wyvern]

then it's likely an elgato issue

[fossil wyvern]

?

[burnt ledge]

OBS claims it works, it did work, now it doesnt despite not changing anything

[fossil wyvern]

where does obs "claim it works"?

because obs doesn't do background blur

[burnt ledge]

used in obs studio, bottom of the picture

[fossil wyvern]

that's not obs studio claiming it works, that's nvidia saying the sdk is used in obs studio, in which it is used for background removal

not background blur

[burnt ledge]

then why did it work yesterday? doesn't make any sense

[fossil wyvern]

since you said it's an option you toggled in the elgato camera hub, and not in obs, that question is probably better asked to elgato

[burnt ledge]

proof that it was working fine yesterday

[fossil wyvern]

because, presumably, it was working in the elgato app

[burnt ledge]

it still works in the elagto app, the only place it has stopped working is OBS

[fossil wyvern]

how exactly were you activating it in OBS?

[burnt ledge]

It was auto enabled when I booted OBS after adjusting my cam settings in the elgato cam hub

[fossil wyvern]

so, you were taking the output of the elgato app and using it in obs?

[burnt ledge]

As far as I'm aware, the output was from the cam

didn't adjust anything, it just worked

[fossil wyvern]

!manuallog find me the log from when it worked

yeah, so, your source "Video capture device" is using the output from the elgato facecam app

meaning the blur comes from that app, not from obs

[burnt ledge]

that is some useful info right there

how do I adjust my settings to do it again? xD

[fossil wyvern]

you select the elgato facecam in the properties of the source

[burnt ledge]

thats what im on though

[fossil wyvern]

then if the camera is not blurred that means the output form elgato facecam isn't blurred

which is an issue of elgato facecam

[burnt ledge]

but it is blurred though, I've tripple checked

I think you can't accurately say who the fault lies with, because everything is working as it should, but these apps aren't cooperating

[fossil wyvern]

OBS doesn't have to "cooperate" it literally takes the output of the elgato facecam and displays it

[burnt ledge]

but it aint

[fossil wyvern]

it doesn't add any effect or anythign to it

[burnt ledge]

I appreciate what your saying, but then it should be working

have you tried watching the output of the elgato facecam in another program

I'm gonna have to

[tidal quest]

I was watching a video to add a "Instant replay" effect into OBS by using Source Record and Directory Watch Media, but I'm stuck on the step where I'm supposed to set my hotkey for the Source Record "Save Replay". The Source Record is added to a Game Capture source and I see other people mention it doesn't work, but the creator of the video swears it works. So my question is - Does Source Record work on a Game Capture source, if yes, why doesn't it show up in my hotkeys settings?

[mortal harbor]

Isn’t there an instant reply plugin of its own without needing the other stuff mentioned? I haven’t used it but I know of it.

[tidal quest]

Not sure which that would be, most seem outdated or overwriting the old replay file which I don't want. Can you point me towards the one you're referring to?

[wet vine]

hi! i hope someone can help me with this short question. is there a plugin or script which is able to tilt/pan a live video source? imagine the source like this

and the plugin enabling you to move it for a new perspective like this

[harsh topaz]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/3d-effect.1692/

[vale vine]

And probably move filter to get it to get to that perspective gradually?

[harsh topaz]

If you want to animate it from A to B, then yes, Move Transition plugin.

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

[wet vine]

thank you both sm 🙏

[wet vine]

alright this is so cool

exactly what i was looking for

[mortal harbor]

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

This is the one I was thinking of.

[tidal quest]

Okay thanks, I'll take a look!

[deep plinth]

To uninstall the audio monitor plugin do I just remove the dll or is there more to it than that?

[mortal harbor]

normally you'd run the uninstaller. deleting the .dll file works too.

[deep plinth]

Does it have an uninstaller? lol

[spiral ruin]

Did you use an installer to install it? Or did you unzip the download and copy the files to the OBS folder?

[tidal quest]

Weird - the hotkey option suddenly appeared and it worked great - then suddenly it wouldn't save my replays anymore so I went to check the hotkey settings and voila - it's gone again. Is this a bug with the Source Record plugin when applied to a Game Capture? Right now I'm unable to get the hotkey to show again.

[tidal quest]

And suddenly it's back again with no changes on my end and everything works again. I'm very confused.

[tidal quest]

Okay, so the hotkey option completely disappears on restarting OBS and it no longer works. No clue what causes it to suddenly appear again. Anyone dealt with this before? Okay, so it suddenly started working again 5 minutes later and my GPU usage in OBS spiked from 10% to stable 65%. EDIT: So disabling and enabling the Source Record seems to be the fix? Is there any way to automate this so you don't have to do this manually on every start up?

wait so I cant update my review to say that the developer has fixed my issue?

how do you do that stuff?

access denied because the obs-studio folder is in program files, you need administrator privileges

Hey all, I have been racking my head on this trying to figure it out, but does anyone know how I can capture the Aida64 sensor panel window? I don't have a spare display to put it on and just capture that display, I need a way to capture the actual panel. For some reason, OBS cannot capture it with window or game capture sources. Any help would be greatly appreciated

And sorry if this is the wrong place for this

[deep plinth]

I probably used the installer but i honestly don't remember at this point lol

[mortal harbor]

Anyone using advss have more than 50 macros in use ? And if so, was it successful for you to export the settings and import them back for all the macros ? Thanks 🙂

[regal breach]

You can use spacedesk to have a virtual monitor, put it there, then use display capture

[cosmic condor]

oooh okay I will try that

[mortal harbor]

@cosmic condor u can also check out the usb virtual monitor from amyuni, they allow you to add up to 4 extra virtual displays and u can change the size of each display to your needs

https://www.amyuni.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3030

[cosmic condor]

i'll try that because I cant seem to get spacedesk working sadly

wont connect to the localhost server

holy shit that worked! Thank you!

ooof

running a game.. I suppose OBS doesn't like having that extra display

[mortal harbor]

Wdym ?

[cosmic condor]

my OBS is chugging after installing that virtual display

while running a game

[velvet crypt]

That’s happened to a friend of mine too, unfortunately I don’t have a fix for ya 😅

[cosmic condor]

yeah dang that was a SOLID fix for a second there

[mortal harbor]

How many virtual displays do you have currently

[cosmic condor]

just 1 tiny one

when running a game (which I already cap to keep things happy), it's chugging along in my preview

which before wasn't happening

[mortal harbor]

Hmm works fine for me when using a display capture

What's the resolution of the virtual display and can u provide a log ?

[cosmic condor]

yeah thats what I was doing

3. Start OBS
4. Settings -> Stream -> disconnect -> connect

[wary cove]

okay so it now shows up in dock but still not in the chat overlay

[torpid stirrup]

Oh thats easy

You go to the stream elements website, log in, click all widgets, click pn chat boxes and customise it however you like before copying the url

[wary cove]

its the own3dpro plugin

[torpid stirrup]

Afterwards, go to obs click the plus create a browser source and paste the url

[torpid stirrup]

Oh

[wary cove]

yup

gonna try another one agin

[torpid stirrup]

Ive never worked woth ownedpro

in obs, add a new browser source, don't change its settings and show me a screenshot of its properties window

[wary cove]

should i still paste link

[fossil wyvern]

if you want

[fossil wyvern]

no, a new browser source, without changing its settings

[wary cove]

i didnt change its settings

i only pasted the link

[fossil wyvern]

and that counts as changing settings

[wary cove]

sorry misunderstood^^

[fossil wyvern]

ok, go to settings > advanced and enable browser source acceleration if it is disabled or disable it if it's enabled

[wary cove]

so i should disable it

[fossil wyvern]

is it currently enabled or disabled?

[wary cove]

enabled

[fossil wyvern]

so yeah disable it

then restart obs and test again

[wary cove]

okay so its like this now the stream elements wiget still isnt working, should i try another or any idea on how to fix this

[wary cove]

it doesnt actually say

[fossil wyvern]

show me a screenshot?

[fossil wyvern]

1080p = 1920x1080

so you need to also put that in the properties of the browser source

[wary cove]

ah okies one sec

[abstract sandal]

friends, a very difficult task:

I'm looking for a plugin that can recognize if the source is currently visible, or if it's covered by another image

specific example:
The top layer is an alpha video with chaotically moving circles lasting one hour.
The bottom layer is a small png square.

while the circles are moving past the square, nothing happens
as soon as the circle overlaps the square, the trigger is clamped ... (layer three is turned on, for example, it's not so important now)
and when the circle makes the square visible again, our trigger stops working
and this trigger on-off algorithm works like this for the whole hour until the video with circles ends.

Please give me feedback, I'm at an impasse. I understand that this theoretically should be, since the OBS is capable of blending mode, it is probably possible to make a similar plugin / shader in it, and for sure someone did it. But what and who? Heartfelt thanks!

@abstract sandal Assuming the image is static, this should help: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/pixel-match-switcher.1202/

[abstract sandal]

I would like to give the image a dynamic X and Y position, I just didn't want to load the message.

I will check your link soon and it will be a miracle if it really helps me. Hugs!

[cosmic condor]

final result. Not too shabby. Hard to keyout small and dynamic text though but i think it came out goo din the end

[mortal harbor]

Glad it's working 😊

[harsh topaz]

Looking hella slick, good job!

[cosmic condor]

Thank you!

Im trying to get the back ground removal plugin to work but i cant seem to download it after the file has downloaded

[signal drum]

Yeah I worked it all out and got it working thanks

[torpid remnant]

how do i get attachments?

how do i get plugins?

[hard jay]

!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

[torpid remnant]

how do i get that addon

[undone glacier]

I am using the background removal thing but they say i should be able to change the background color but that isnt the case , did i do something wrong or is it outdated ?

and also the background removal thing is not in the audio/video but in the effect tab

[regal breach]

the filter itself won't change the background color, but remove the background, meaning you can put images/video behind the camera

[undone glacier]

in every video i see people able to change the background color of the background removal , is that like a different thing then?

[regal breach]

first off, what plugin are you using

[undone glacier]

OBS - background removal plugin

[regal breach]

you can change the background color in the filter settings

take a screenshot of your filter settings if it doesnt work

[undone glacier]

which filter is that

[regal breach]

the filter of the plugin you're using

guys, some time ago someone posted a standalone blur plugin mimicking the streamfx function, but I can't get it to work using an image to define the parts to be blurred, does anyone have an idea why?

[shut swift]

when I try to load nonolive obs assistant obs normally opens but nonolive obs assistant isnt loaded how can I fix that

[bright sapphire]

https://github.com/prgmitchell/blur-filter/releases/tag/1.0.0

[bleak pewter]

yup, that's the one, but does not seems to be able to post the problem there

[mortal harbor]

This feature is non-functioning and I most likely will not be trying to fix it. I may update to hide the option but for now it’s staying as is. I have issues disabled on GitHub as I do not plan on making any changes.

I’ll take a look at the mac version I built recently and if the image selection is working I will update the windows version, otherwise it will probably remain unchanged.

StreamFX has a planned overhaul to the blur filter so once that is done I will update this release.

[bleak pewter]

got it thanks for the response

[tardy veldt]

Can someone direct me to a plugin which allows me to create timestamps?

[hard jay]

[tidal quest]

@weak escarp what causes the Source Record to not show up in hotkeys? It seems completely random for me at which time the save replay buffer hotkey option appears and I'm unable to reproduce it. Am I doing something wrong?

[weak escarp]

The save replay buffer hotkey should be available when the replay buffer is active

[tidal quest]

The only hotkey that's available is the native OBS save key, not the one on the filter, hmm.

This hotkey, for the filter, is just completely random for me (atm it's gone again and I can't save replays from the source)

[tidal quest]

Okay, so it appeared again and it worked while doing a test stream, so streaming, recording and replay buffer active. I also have this hotkey set to restart a media source that just shows a "Replay saved" video file in the corner, as an indication that OBS registered the hotkey press. I then stopped my stream and enabled just the replay buffer, stopped the game I was playing and opened a movie fullscreen - the game capture recognizes and shows it - however the replay function doesn't work anymore. The "Replay saved" movie shows, so OBS is registering the hotkey. I'm at a loss as to why it's so random?

[tidal quest]

Been trying since I posted this message to get it to work - just nope - not saving anything, tried turning the filter on-off, tested streaming, tested just replay buffer enabled etc, nothing saves.

[tidal quest]

Getting this error now - just did another test stream with replay buffer active, it hooked into Diablo 2, the hotkey is showing in the OBS hotkey settings, but nothing happening again.

Are there any plugins that'll let me use my iphone 6's camera as a webcam on OBS without downloading some sketchy app?

[fossil wyvern]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/droidcam-obs-camera.1308/
You will have to download an app but it is not sketchy

[spiral ruin]

droidcam and NDI app are good for iOS devices. You could also try vdo.ninja as that is not an app but a web-based service to use your phone's camera as a video source.

[knotty mural]

I could NOT get Droidcam to work for the life of me

[fossil wyvern]

you can try ndi or vdo.ninja, or we can try to troubleshoot droidcam if you want

[spiral ruin]

Could still try vdo.ninja for free

[knotty mural]

Lemme try Droidcam again 1 sec

[fossil wyvern]

is the ndi app free or not?

ik ndi has a tendency not not be free on all fronts

[vale vine]

Not free iirc. It's like $20

They did a free giveaway some time back which is the only reason I have it 😉

[spiral ruin]

yeah, NDI is a paid app for iOS

[knotty mural]

My phone shows up, but no video feed

[spiral ruin]

Droidcam and vdo.ninja have been very consistent for me on my home network, I would stick with those first.

[knotty mural]

Wait do I need to download it on my phone too

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[spiral ruin]

yes...

[fossil wyvern]

you need the app

[knotty mural]

give me 1 second

[vale vine]

https://www.dev47apps.com/droidcam/help/

There's even a help manual 😉

[knotty mural]

Right so it works but I'm not a fan of the watermark.

[spiral ruin]

paid version removes watermark. Other option is still vdo.ninja if you don't want to buy an app. (although it is a lifetime license on that apple account for any compatible iOS devices you want to use it on)

[fossil wyvern]

I think the watermark is only on HD resolutions if you don't want to pay for pro?

[spiral ruin]

maybe...? I bought it a long time ago, but it was also for Android.

[fossil wyvern]

otherwise yee, vdo

[knotty mural]

It goes away at 960x720. Which is not ideal at all.
Pro version costs WAY too much for what it does

I'll try vdo.

[fossil wyvern]

eh, for an account-bound lifetime licence it's not that much

[knotty mural]

In my local currency it is

[fossil wyvern]

oh, yee, it's probably adjusted for US cost of living

[spiral ruin]

It turns your great iPhone camera into a great webcam, over wifi.... totally worth the price, and I don't even use Apple devices right now. But I can certainly understand, local currency and taxes/fees will make a difference.

[bright sapphire]

heard iriun webcam app works well too over wifi

[knotty mural]

My mom just texted me about a camera lmao

the timing

[vale vine]

Sadge it seems it only does 1080p

Ndihx let's me use 2160p

[knotty mural]

@fossil wyvern VDO.ninja is not optimal AT ALL.
30fps stream and my phone can barely keep up.

[spiral ruin]

You should be able to do 60fps. Although why is another question.

[fossil wyvern]

look, you have to choose between :

• a professional-grade solution
• a free solution

[knotty mural]

I'm gonna invest in a camera

Or fuck around and make my own plugin

Thanks for the help though

[fossil wyvern]

lmao good luck with that one

[knotty mural]

Thanks I appreciate that

[spiral ruin]

You could still set up vdo.ninja, I'm getting 1280x720, 60fps, on the rear camera of my Pixel 3a. Just gotta dive into the settings and tune it up.

[fathom slate]

I have reinstalled OBS now I can't find this plugin

and also this one

any help?

[fossil wyvern]

3-d transform is from streamfx, not currently available but I think there's a standalone that does the same gimme 5 to find it

[fathom slate]

thanks

I had it working before I formatted it

[fossil wyvern]

here, this should provide smth equivalent to the 3D transform :
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/3d-effect.1692/

[fathom slate]

I mean, uninstalled

the other one is the shader to get rounded corners

[fossil wyvern]

for the shader, not exactly sure what was providing it, maybe shaderfilter?
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-shaderfilter

[fossil wyvern]

you don't need a shader for that you can use an alpha mask

[fathom slate]

this github stuff I do what with it?

[fathom slate]

I have already things set with shader

thanks @fossil wyvern

[fossil wyvern]

👍

[fathom slate]

This one doesn't work unfortunately 😦 https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/3d-effect.1692/

[fossil wyvern]

in what way does it not work? does the filter not appear?

[fathom slate]

filter apperared but 3D dont move text

shader is working fine now

[fossil wyvern]

afaik you can also use shaders to make a 3D-effect, but if you want, show me how you set up the 3D effect?

[fathom slate]

I have an effect that moves my text from left to right

I was using move-value and changing settings of 3D X position

whatever I change here doesnt do anything

[fossil wyvern]

you don't have any sources

[idle matrix]

Hey all... looking for some advice here. Essentially, I want to create another version of a Text source which dynamically populates its content. I assume the easiest way to do this is to write a simple plugin. Any thoughts?

[fossil wyvern]

easiest way to do this is to point the text source at a local file and dynamically change the text file

otherwise second easiest is a script

[idle matrix]

unfortunately I need to be able to pass in config options and update upwards of 10 times/sec, so I don't think the file option will work. Can a script handle listening to UDP packets?

[fossil wyvern]

are you sure file wouldn't work?

and scripts can use any python library, so I'd tend to think it can

[idle matrix]

using a local file would still require a separate, standalone application to update the file

My thought process with the plugin is that it'd all be handled by OBS

(I am experienced in C and C++, so writing a plugin wouldn't be a big deal)

[fossil wyvern]

scripts are honestly much easier to make than whole-ass plugins

but if you want to go the plugin route, sure do

[idle matrix]

can scripts create their own sources with custom configuration options?

[fossil wyvern]

lua scripts yes, python script not without some ffi wizardry.
But more simply, scripts can just update the text of a normal text source as much as you want

[last sentinel]

guys

how do i add sound alerts to obs?

[bright sapphire]

Alerts are normally triggered by the bot you are using

[hard jay]

Not really, most people use alert services for alerts, not bots.

[vale vine]

Sound alerts can easily be done with streamer.bot

[idle matrix]

hmmmm, so then I'd have to create some mechanism to "register" a text source to be updated by the script?

[fossil wyvern]

don't need to create the mechanism, it's already existing

[oblique yew]

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

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

[idle matrix]

how's that?

[burnt garden]

looking for a reliable vst host that can start with windows and only (and always) function on a single specific microphone. Any suggestions? I've had a terrible time using VSThost (additive delay causing 2 second audio delay over the course of 30 minutes)

[spiral ruin]

Lighthost seems to be the lightest.

[burnt garden]

does that also require a virtual audio cable to work?

[spiral ruin]

No, it applies the vst effect directly to the mic, no additional cables or routing.

[burnt garden]

Great! Are there more applications like that one? Looking for some alternatives so I can pick the one that suits me best. Doesn't matter if it's free or paid

[spiral ruin]

EQ APO is one with a better UI than Lighthost, but has a bigger footprint. Noticeable, but not too much.

[burnt garden]

I tried that, but that wouldn't start with windows or required voicemeeter

[spiral ruin]

EQ APO does not require Voicemeeter, and can be set up with a windows shortcut to run on startup, like any app. I don't use either vst host, but have used both in the past, with and without Voicemeeter.

[burnt garden]

May I ask what you're currently using?

[spiral ruin]

Voicemeeter Potato (because I use it mainly for the routing, with minor effects to mics for daily use in comm apps).
When I need the power of VST plugins for specific sound, I run them in the recording, streaming or editing software. OBS, Audacity, Resolve.

[abstract sandal]

Advanced Scene Switcher (matches pattern problem)
Hello, my macros in a.s.s. does not work

I want: the Greek mask will move horizontally and cover the Medusa's face, at this second the background with the stone texture should be hidden (example in the video, switch manually with the mouse)

I wrote a macro following the example from the a.s.s. manual. (https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Activate-overlay-to-hide-parts-of-the-screen) but for a group, not a game capture.

My macro does not work, on the second video I showed everything in more detail.

Please tell me what to do, I would write to the discord a.s.s. but they only have github and no feedback,

Thanks dear!

[harsh topaz]

I would write to the discord a.s.s. but they only have github and no feedback

[regal breach]

matches pattern checks the whole source, but you're trying to check for a pattern inside the source,

basically, what you did does a full match, but you're doing a partial match

you need to change matches pattern to something else

should be contains object

ahhhhhh nvm above statements

[regal breach]

try to turn on reduce matching latency

because advss doesn't match every frame

and i'm pretty sure what you're trying to do won't really work reliably

[regal breach]

nvm the nvm

what i said was correct, matches pattern does whole image match. you turned on perform check in area, but it isn't the exact same size image

[abstract sandal]

This is not the final challenge. There won't be a complete match here.
After that, I'll add more overlapping moving elements, some of which will have uneven alpha transparency. In total, I want to choose the final Medusa visibility coefficient myself. (I need a pattern, a silhouette)
I'm trying to do what was easy in Pixel Match Switcher, but I'm always kicking my little toe into invisible corners... why?

I changed:
reduced latency
I turned off perform check area
I uploaded a pattern of the appropriate size (literally the same file 3840*2160 with alpha)
I switched all the toggle switches that came across to me (video)

nothing has changed lol

[regal breach]

if you are moving the image yourself, surely there are better ways to do the effect?

[abstract sandal]

...

[abstract sandal]

I don’t move the images here on top there will be 10 layers of scroll vertical, or horizontal + 5 minute videos with alpha transparency, every now and then overlapping and opening again, or partially opening Medusa

I don't control it lol. How will I do it?

[regal breach]

so the problem here is that the macro activates even when there should be no match?

[abstract sandal]

it activates randomly

[regal breach]

can you take a screenshot of the "Show Match"?

[abstract sandal]

(I have a 4k output and preview, and an HD monitor)

[regal breach]

send the image of the pattern

[regal breach]

that's one of the problems

by making the whole background alpha, you're actually matching only the middle circle. and most of the time the pic isn't overlapping so it will be a circle

as in those that have alpha will actually disregard the pixels there

take a screenshot of the whole scene without the moving image

don't change the background to alpha

change the circle to be alpha

[abstract sandal]

offtopic: when I try to take a screenshot, it throws me to the file selection, is this normal?

[regal breach]

right click the obs preview and do the screenshot there

i don't really understand what you see

[abstract sandal]

I did as you said, but there was a chaotic on and off

[regal breach]

use max threshold

while we're at it, what do you plan with the 10 moving images?

do you want the effect to happen only when all of them are in the circle?

[regal breach]

why did you press run macro lol

[abstract sandal]

I manually pressed the start of the macro to get the texture, but then he didn’t turn it off at the moment of overlapping the face, it just doesn’t work anymore

I clicked because this is the initial state with the texture ON

it just doesn't work

[regal breach]

ah lol, then take another screenshot with the texture

[abstract sandal]

For what? it's just a triggered file, it can be anything.jpeg

[regal breach]

for the pattern

[abstract sandal]

here is the pattern file without alpha

[regal breach]

but you said initial state with texture on

if the texture is on, it won't be able to match, because the pattern uses white

[regal breach]

also please answer this

[regal breach]

now, like i said earlier, change the circle in the pattern to be alpha

also if you want 10 moving images, and just one being in the middle will activate it, then this approach is completely wrong

and until now im not sure what you want the effect to do

you say initial state with texture, but your macro checking for the pattern shows the texture

[abstract sandal]

and us at the input a group of files

sec

[abstract sandal]

@regal breach I turned off a.s.s.

and I showed you what I want to get
from those files that were at hand:
we have some salts (two greek masks and smoke) that can cover the face of Medusa, as soon as it overlaps (by 70% or more), the stone texture background (whatever.jpeg) should fade out as soon as the face is visible again, or almost visible - the background of anything.jpeg becomes visible again

this is what i want to get

p.s.
overlap speeds will be less, everything will move in slow motion, in my ideal universe, I would also like to set the jellyfish to slow movement along one of the axes.
I am open to any of your advice, but I remind you that salts are similar to smoke (there will be several with uneven alpha)

please throw in a little answer, I will read and follow it when I get back, in any case I am already grateful to you for your active help

[regal breach]

ill do some experiments when i have time, i need to sleep too

[regal breach]

One thing i want to try is this:
Screenshot the whole group, crop it to a small square in the middle, smaller than the circle.

• perform check in area exactly the same size and position as the square image.
• change condition to exactly matches, instead of matches pattern.
  -set action to show the texture.
  -second macro, if first macro is false, hide texture.
  -turn on reduce matching latency if there is one.

[idle matrix]

In the long run, which is less likely to be broken by a future update - a script or a plugin? (i.e. which one has better stability)

[regal breach]

Probably a script, if the breaking change will be similar to the QT update that was done in obs 28, or CMake changes.

But chances of breakage is very low in either case

[idle matrix]

I recall that the QT update broke a lot of stuff (our setup was unusable for a bit until I could manually roll back the update to a version supported by the plugins). What's the likelihood of something like that happening again? QT7?

[regal breach]

Yes qt7

Note that only plugins that used QT were affected

And you cant use qt in scripts

So they're equal in that respect

So i would rather focus on the capabilities of script vs plugin

And if the obs api were to change, you'd have to update either anyway (though api breaking changes are much much rarer)

[idle matrix]

yeah... I kinda want to use a plugin because the properties interface provided by a script isn't up to par with what I need, so I'd like to use a plugin so I can take advantage of more advanced UI items. But once I'm gone there will likely not be anyone to maintain either (script or plugin), so I need to pick the option that'll be around the longest

[regal breach]

What kind of plugin are we talking

[idle matrix]

it needs to receive real-time data from a machine which periodically broadcasts messages on the network, and then bind that data into (text) sources. Not a problem with a Python script, but the only way I could see for the user to configure the bindings would be pretty atrocious (although it could be done if there are serious problems with the plugin approach)

[regal breach]

Configure bindings, as in user selects a text source?

[idle matrix]

user has to select a text source, and then enter 2 integer parameters which will select a data field to bind into that particular text source

[regal breach]

If there are multiple text sources which should have different fields and url, then a plugin will be better, because you will be able to make a filter (you could also do that in lua, if you can, so it's just a script)

Without a filter, you would have to duplicate the script as many test sources there are

With different filenames

[idle matrix]

I haven't been able to get the LuaSocket extension to work correctly for networking, whereas there's native support for it in Python

[regal breach]

But, if there is only one url, you would probably want only one listener

[idle matrix]

I can think of ways to do it with Python that wouldn't involve duplicating the script, but like I said, it'd be pretty ugly

[regal breach]

So you either code the plugin to have a listener for each url to be applied across all filters, rather than having one listener per filter

[regal breach]

Indeed

[idle matrix]

I don't understand

[regal breach]

It would likely entail creating dynamic properties

[idle matrix]

yeah

[regal breach]

Nevermind my message then

[idle matrix]

How would a filter be able to change the contents of a text source?

[regal breach]

Via obs_source_update

However, you need to get the parent source of the filter

Using obs_filter_get_parent

However, you can only call it after the filter is actually added to a source, so you can't get the parent source in the filter creation

https://github.com/CodeYan01/source-defaults/blob/master/src/source-defaults-filter.c

[idle matrix]

but you could get the parent source inside video_render, right?

[regal breach]

In my plugin, i got the reference of the parent source in the properties function (when filter settings are opened), and a source_create signal handler (which is for all sources)

[regal breach]

Yes

You could probably only fetch it once to use less cpu

Since video_render is called every frame

[idle matrix]

hmmmm

[regal breach]

Also i think it's called filter_video on filters

[idle matrix]

so I could configure global settings using the script properties, then create a filter which could be added to anything I wanted to bind data into, and that filter would update the source periodically whenever new data arrives, right?

[regal breach]

Uhhh, with lua?

Because if you're gonna do it on python, you can't create custom filters.

[idle matrix]

right

[regal breach]

So either plugin or lua.

Roundabout way is to do both script and plugin, but why haha

[idle matrix]

and I'm unable to get UDP sockets to work with Lua, so guess it's gonna be a plugin

thanks for the help lol

[regal breach]

Np

Now to break out of this insomnia since it's 5:30am

[coral token]

i downloaded an older obs version

and now i cant see my plugins

(i reinstalled them in the new folder too)

[mortal harbor]

yes, installing an older version of OBS is what made them stop working. a good fix would be to use the current supported version of OBS.

[coral token]

damn

okay thank you

i thought plugins like streamfx only worked in older versions

[regal breach]

That's true, but then you also need older versions of the other plugins.

[frigid kayak]

heyhey, would anyone happen to know why my video_render function doesn't render anything? this is all I get. does the timestamp have anything to do with it?

[fiery mauve]

[golden roost]

hello there, i would love the help of somebody please

so i purchased the Razer Ripsaw HD and connected to the ps4 with the hdmi monitor, the usb ripsaw to the pc.

after hours and hours of trying to just see a screen stream was hard to do

i am facing the same problem as everyone else on youtube when they try to help. but when i follow the steps.. i am still stuck with a black screen een after obs recognizes the ripsaw

Anyone here please i really need the help

[abstract sandal]

did it, didn't work either)

[regal breach]

How did you figure out the position and size?

Im guessing there's a mistake in those numbers

[abstract sandal]

I got the perfect size

Well, you can close the question, in the second macro I should have “if not”, not “if”, I checked the macro three times and never noticed this error. Everything works now

Thank you for participating!

[regal breach]

did you have the first macro with "exactly matches"? so my suggestion was correct?

[abstract sandal]

I think it will work with "exactly matches", but it's fine so far I just changed the key condition of the second macro and everything worked (the "matches pattern" remained in the first macro)

[regal breach]

okay, glad you got it working

[night spire]

Is there a good plugin that will allow me to see my twitch chat in an in-game overlay like streamlabs but using OBS as I don't like the performance of Streamlabs?

[glacial haven]

I personally like jChat a lot, but that's the same technology as Streamlabs with an external site providing the chat and embedding it into OBS using a browser source, but with less overhead, you don't need any account/login, and it also supports 7tv and BTTV if I am not mistaken

if it really needs to be local and "independent" you can check out Chatty, it will run on your PC and can popout an extra window for OBS to include with a window capture

[regal breach]

@spare turtle i updated source defaults with your source name prefix request. sorry it took a while, it was off my mind

[slender wing]

how to see chats in obs

[analog ruin]

!chatdocks

[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.

**Blend mode COLOR **

Hello, please tell me the plugins, or the original way, how to simulate blend mode COLOR (like in Photoshop, for example) inside OBS?
I have a top layer: capturing a source from a LIVE youtube video from Africa and I want to grab only color information from there
and overlay it on an existing underlying B/W video source with a similar scenery.
I would be grateful for any ideas!

[night spire]

Thank but I am not looking to show my chat on stream but to be able to see chat while in game using an in-game overlay much like NVIDIA Geforce Experience does

[vale vine]

Is there a tutorial on how to convert a video filter into an effects filter?

[mortal harbor]

Already posted in their Discord but might just share it here as well...
While using the win-capture-audio plugin set to capture the foreground video with a hotkey, the audio is starting to give this annoying noise and in addition go out of sync after it.

Had the same last weekend with the plugin set to exclude everything but the game audio...

[vale vine]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/8064

Probably related. And there is a link in a comment from ryto on additional infos that might be helpful

[mortal harbor]

I just figured this started to happen after I uninstalled Voicemeeter. The recordings before that are totally fine

Thx for the hint

[vale vine]

Could be voicemeeter but using the plugin or audio capture beta, those are windows hooks/detours so voicemeeter shouldn't even be part of that equation me thinks

[mortal harbor]

Totally agree, maybe just a coincidence

[vale vine]

Yea. That's what my gut is leaning towards.

[mortal harbor]

Alright, time to redo the recording. At least the game does not take long for a total playthrough

[mortal harbor]

the audio is starting to give this annoying noise and in addition go out of sync after it.
can you describe this more? is it happening consistently? is it only with the application audio capture source but not audio output sources?

Happened the first time here: #audio-support message
But this video and the following are still in sync after the sound went away.
Last weeks video was recorded with the plugin set to exclude everything but the game. This time it was set to record the foreground window's audio per hotkey

Happend around every 25 to 30 minutes in the recording last week but still was in sync

Audio sources in the scene are my mic and the audio capture for the game and a separate one for Discord. Mic and Discord were muted, was not even in a Discord call during the recording

And as said, it didn't happen while Voicemeeter was installed

[spare turtle]

thank you ill check it out right away! ✨

[quiet bramble]

Can you explain in a bit more detail what the effect is that you're trying to achieve? I'm not familiar with Photoshop or it's blend modes, however the image that you attached is a demonstration of an effect often called "selective color" which essentially makes everything that isn't a particular color (red in the example image) and makes the rest greyscale.

There is a selective color shader that comes with OBS Shaderfilter but it is a bit limited in what it can do. It can be rather difficult to do this type of an effect on live video due to the nature of false-positives and false-negatives in bounding the color. That's normally done by hand in post-production on pre-recorded video. It is possible to achieve some cool effects in OBS on live video too, so long as one doesn't expect the level of precision possible in post-production FX. 🙂

So from the image you showed, "selective color" is the effect shown in the image, but from your description of what you want to do it sounds like you want to do something else entirely, extracting color information from one source, and overlaying it on another source. This could mean different things depending on what it is you're trying to achieve. Converting the sources to the HSV or other hue based color spaces and replacing the hue information in the destination source with the hue from another source could be one interpretation.

That's possible to do using a shader plugin if one of the sources is a static image file.

Another possible interpretation I just had of what you asked for, is that you want to computer colorize black and white footage using the colors found in another video source. That'd require some intense custom AI/machine learning kung-fu if it is even possible to do on live video, or it'd require manual post production savvy by hand.

Much like how they convert old black and white movies to color.

[spare turtle]

@regal breach I checked out the update it works ( tested it on a clean obs ) it seemed to have been crashing on my main obs~ when making a new source with the prefix added for the source type(which is on 29.1. beta 4 ) here's the crash log~

[regal breach]

when making a new source with the prefix added

so when you created the source, you typed the prefix manually?

thank you for the info

[spare turtle]

ah i copy pasted it tbh~

ill check if it stiill crashes when typing manually

[regal breach]

what did you paste, and what was the prefix that you set in the filter?

[spare turtle]

yup it stiil does~

[spare turtle]

i copypasted this~ 「 A 」-

so that's the prefix i set~

[spare turtle]

for this i typed Test - manually on a media source ( while having all the boxes unticked except the prefix part)

[regal breach]

thank you very much for the info, i'll look into it later today

[tawny nova]

Hi. I'm a developer of a personal Live Metaverse project. I'd like to modify the WebRTC WHIP OBS plugin to transfer keyboard and mouse state to the live viewer to show it as 3D game character motion and activity. Similar to BongoCat in 3D. But I encounter a problem. When I global hook the keyboard in the OBS webrtc plugin. It only works when OBS is focused. It doesn't work when it is in background. But the mouse global hook is working. Anyone has an idea why it is not working in background for global keyboard hook? How can I solve it? Previously, I want to use a standalone app to transfer these data. But I can't get sync with the video. Because video maybe with delay. But the data over websocket will be realtime. So OBS modification on the plugin is the only way.

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/discussions/8748#discussioncomment-5621923

I've already modified the plugin to transfer the mouse position and keyboard state. But the keyboard global hook is only working when it's focused. It doesn't work when it's in background.

[mortal harbor]

hello

I have a problem with a plugin I installed it but I want to remove it but the folder where it was saved does not appear, can you help me find it please

[regal breach]

on windows, you just search Add or remove programs, and delete the plugin you installed. If you didn't use an installer, it won't appear there, so you have to delete its file manually

[sleek cave]

Any plugin for smoother recording?

[regal breach]

if you're having issues with recording, ask in #windows-support or whatever is your OS. no plugin makes recording smoother

[tawny nova]

Does anyone have an idea on this why is the global hook not working from OBS plugin?

[cerulean kindle]

Is there any plugin that allows you to have two remux's instead of just the one?

[regal breach]

you were already answered by a dev, who would know more than we do. you would have more luck simply creating your own global hook on mouse and keyboard events, rather than relying on OBS hooks

[regal breach]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-record.1285/

[vagrant minnow]

Why would you need two remuxes?

[cerulean kindle]

1 for a short clip ex. 15s, the other could be longer like 30mins. As I feel if i was always recording and deleting 30m videos bc it wasnt good where if i had a good video i can record it via that. If there is a more efficient way please tell

[cerulean kindle]

ill have a look thanks

[oblique yew]

The replay buffer is a feature that allows you to keep a rolling buffer of OBS' output for a set amount of time (known as "flashback recording"), which can be saved to disk as a recorded video when a hotkey is pressed. You can enable it via Settings -> Output.

[tawny nova]

But the problem is if I create a hook in my own standalone program. I can't encode it to the video frame. So it won't sync with the video. The experience on my intended esports live broadcasting will be bad. For example, the standalone uses websocket. The video uses RTMP/WebRTC. The video will be with a delay. When the player cast a spell by press QWER. Then the websocket would arrive the viewer immediately. But the video maybe seconds delayed. So the experience would be bad. Can you get my point?

Because I'm trying to implement some kind of 3D visual experience. For example, the virtual game player finger will be on the key as well with IK. So I need a raw data. So I can't use window capture like BongoCat does.

[hard jay]

I answered that the question sounded vague and wasn't specific enough. "global hook" has a lot of meanings, and without knowing exactly what function or codepath inside OBS is attempting to be used, it's hard to say what or what isn't going on.

code samples or links to the repo where the plugin part lives would be useful.

[tawny nova]

OK. I'll upload a repo with it.

Thank you.

[hollow root]

How can i add a custom transition in obs?

i can't find a way to do it

[hard jay]

If you mean a video file, the transition type for that is called a Stinger

[hollow root]

Yes, but where can i find it?

[hard jay]

Thnx

@hard jay Hi, here's reproduce project. But it seems that obs limits the log. But you can have a try. I can't print the log unlimitly. You should try this with the test server provided by this PR.
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/7926
https://b.siobud.com/
According to my test, the keyboard hook only updates g_CompressedKeyboardState only when OBS is focused. It won't work if the OBS is in the background.

[hard jay]

Ok, so this is new functionality being added to the PR itself. I don't know anything about that, so someone else will have to take a look.

[tawny nova]

Because my site is use WebRTC to broadcast. So I use this plugin to modify to satisfy my need. Thank you. Anyway, you can move these code to any other plugin to test theorically.

[sonic hamlet]

Hello everyone...I apologize if I missed this or it's pinned somewhere....Trying to setup NDI from PC1 to PC2. Have OBS Studio on Both PC's, both have NDI plugin, both have NDI Runtime 5. I see the NDI source (video & audio) in NDI Tools Studio Montior on PC1. I see the NDI Source as an option to add as a source in PC2, but when I go into the setup for it, PC1 (in fact nothing) shows in available NDI Sources. Both PC's are on the same network/subnet, in fact, on the exact same switch. What am I missing?

[tawny nova]

And also, I found a workaround by using GetAsyncKeyState when OBS is in the background. But I still want to know the reason why global hook is not working with OBS in background.

[hard jay]

Did you check the hotkey settings in Settings -> Advanced to make sure that it's not disabled when OBS isn't focused?

Past that, if OBS can't see keystrokes, something on your system is blocking them.

[tawny nova]

I didn't know this setting before. I'll have a try.

[hard jay]

If OBS is set correctly and it works when in focus, but not out of focus, then it's something external to OBS blocking the keys.

[mortal harbor]

if both have the plugin, what is the purpose of NDI Tools here?

[sonic hamlet]

Just to confirm the NDI output of PC1

if you’re not seeing the your NDI feed from the first PC as an option on the 2nd PC when selected an NDI source, i would think something is blocking the connection. all seems fine in the logs.

[tawny nova]

Thank you so much. You did help me. I checked the OBS windows hotkey implementation. It uses GetAsyncKeyState as well. And also, I can just hook the keys with obs hotkey mechanism instead of implement it myself.

Is there any similar mechanism to get mouse position as well?

[hard jay]

I'm still very confused why you're trying to do this through OBS.

Why would you not implement this in your own application instead?

The operating system provides these functions, ultimately, you should just be interacting with those APIs, not going through OBS for it. We capture that information for our own use, not to send along to other applications. What you're doing is, frankly, very confusing and probably bad.

[tawny nova]

I can implement this with standalone program. But the problem is I'd like to show a virtual motion of the game player. For example, for a esports live with League of Legends. I'll show the player motion on QWER and game keys in 3D. So I need this raw data to sync with the video broadcasting. That's the reason why I can't implement this separately with websocket for example. I need to sync the virtual player action with the video feed.

The problem is synchronization with the virtual player and the video feed. This is the reason why I need to implement this in OBS.

[sonic hamlet]

This is the frustrating part. There's no firewall, they are connected to the same switch and tracert confirms a single hop between the 2PCs. Any thoughts what may "block" the NDI from carrying over?

[mortal harbor]

unsure but if you’re not seeing the sources in the NDI tools as well, we would at least know its not an issue with OBS or the plugin.

[sonic hamlet]

I am seeing them in the NDI tools...I see them in the NDI Studio Monitor, both audio and video. They just aren't getting to PC2....

Diving back in...appreciate your help on this one

[tawny nova]

@hard jay https://immersed.com/ this is somewhat similar. But mine is without VR. Just with OBS and my live metaverse WebGL app.

You should know what I mean with checking this site.

[hard jay]

I don't, but out of respect I will leave it there.

[sonic hamlet]

Well...FML...finally fixed it, but feel like a NOOOB, which I am to NDI....Solution: Wasn't running OBS as Admin - literally fixed it 😮‍💨

[mortal harbor]

!nvafx so yes, this does involve installing something but this would enable NVIDIA noise suppression as a built in OBS source, nothing else to run. it is the best option available for noise suppression at the moment.

[oblique yew]

The redistributables required for the NVIDIA Noise and Background Removal filters can be found here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/

Once both are installed,

The NVIDIA Noise Removal option will appear as part of the "Noise Suppression" filter, alongside RNNoise and Speex.
The NVIDIA Background Removal option will appear as its own filter under "Effect Filters."

[fossil wyvern]

1 : this is not the place
2 : try it and check if it works

[rotund mist]

i dont want all that

[mortal harbor]

well, if you want to suppress noise you’ll need it. otherwise you can use the suppression options that come installed with OBS but they are not as good.

[mortal harbor]

what is the place?

To hear your audio sources through your own speakers/headset:

1. In OBS Settings → Audio, set your Monitoring Device to the speakers/headset through which you wish to hear the source audio, then click OK
2. Click the Edit menu → Advanced Audio Properties
3. For each device you wish to hear, change Audio Monitoring to:

• Monitor Off: only hear in your stream/recording
• Monitor and Output: hear through your device and your stream/recording
• Monitor Only: only hear through your device; don't hear in your stream/recording

Note: ensure you use a different monitoring device than any device you capture. Otherwise, your stream/recording will contain an echo.

i asked it on the forum too when i got no luck here, so kinda is

er kinda did

[regal breach]

!sceneswitcher i suppose you could try to make a macro with this plugin that saves source settings, which is equivalent to opening the properties window and clicking OK

[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/

[sleek lynx]

hrmm ill look into it, thanks

lol, just looked, yeah thats what I use to display the tuna titles

or at least initiate the fades

[sleek lynx]

any idea how to fire a macro right at obs startup with AdvScnSw? I cant find a command that works

[regal breach]

add a macro condition set to plugin state

[sleek lynx]

that worked, thanks, the settings thing didnt work, but noticed just going to main scene would make it work (its nested where it doesnt) so a quick work around, when obs loads, i switch to that scene for a few seconds, than back to previous and works from then on

[manic ermine]

Does anyone know if there's a good way to auto-update an OBS forum resource from github releases? I keep forgetting to update mine whenever I push an update.

[regal breach]

not yet possible

unless you create your own script that scrapes the forum

How I’m new to this

[spiral ruin]

Trash can button on your post

[fossil wyvern]

also please do not send unsollicited friend requests as per server rules

[somber sage]

Idk what that even means so don’t send friend request on this or to anyone on this server?

[spiral ruin]

#rules reread this, you agreed to them before you started posting in this server.

[somber sage]

Yea not a problem just being specific to get a better understanding

[spiral ruin]

The rules are pretty specific

[hard jay]

@somber sage This channel is for discussion about tools and plugins for OBS, not for finding games or similar. You might be looking at the wrong server, as we don't generally do that kind of thing here.

[somber sage]

Would you prefer I not be here? Did I not do the things you asked not trying to start anything and understand rules are there for a reason just feel I rub ya guys the wrong way

[hard jay]

The rule they're trying to point to, which they could have just stated, is that we ask to try and please stay on-topic to the channel purposes.

And your post has nothing to do with plugins or tools for OBS.

[somber sage]

Ok that’s why I’m here to learn and spread what I’ve learned nothing eles just should have paid better attention to rules and I thanks you very much for clearing any confusion I had up I will stick to purpose of this channel thank you again

[manic pier]

Yo me and my friend want to make a twitch channel at 2 where there would be my POV and hers on the same stream with our 2 cameras how can I send him my screen so that he displays it on his obs

[hard jay]

Most people will either just use discord or vdo.ninja these days.

[manic pier]

the problem of vdo and discord is the quality is bad

is possible with NDI ? like dual pc or no ?

[hard jay]

Are you on the same network?

[manic pier]

nop

[hard jay]

NDI is not typically viable over the internet.

Can it work? Technically, yes.

Will it be reliable? Absolutely not.

[manic pier]

oh okay

because the problem already with vdo.ninja all work but the quality are realy bad

[spiral ruin]

VDO.ninja can work with 1080p60 quality, as long as the network and internet connections are stable. That will be the case for any solution over the internet.

[hard jay]

Indeed. If the quality is bad, it's likely an internet bottleneck.

Which means no other solution will be able to overcome that, and will all have the same issues.

[manic pier]

how can i change the résolution ?

and how can i put more bitrate ?

[minor thistle]

VDO.Ninja has a Discord with support channels. You'll get better support asking there.

[wise palm]

You must be going for the most authentic "Retro" stream in all the land with that Resolution lol

Literally did a triple take reading that

[bright sapphire]

That's just VDO ninja settings

[regal breach]

Just wanted to update you, it seems that the issue is with 29.1, im not sure yet which commit caused it, but now it seems you can't set the name within the source_create callback. It's something ill have to ask the OBS devs about or investigate myself, but rest assured, there should be a solution

[drifting flint]

im trying to use move source to move both my camera and camera outline from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen. Everytime I move the camera source, it works, but when i try to move the camera outline, it does not. I can not figure out how to get them to move together in sync. Its almost as if it only lets me move one source and not both together.

[regal breach]

Please post screenshots of your move filter settings

[drifting flint]

Is there a way to flatten the camera and its overlay to move them as one source? or some sort of setting to link the two?

i try to edit the transform for the camera overlay, but everytime i try to change the x axis, it does not allow me and resets back to zero.

its almost like the camera overlay is locked at x 0 y 0 for the transform even though the source itself is not locked

[regal breach]

You can put the camera and outline in one separate scene. In your other scenes, you can add that new scene as a source

[drifting flint]

even when i do that as soon as i choose the source in the new scene it still breaks it down to the source options of overlay and camera, not them together

[regal breach]

That means you did it wrong.

If you add them to the new scene, you should remove the camera and outline from the other scenes

And replace it with the new scene as a source

And you don't move the move filters. They stay in the old scenes, but you change the selected source to the new scene

[sleek lynx]

any other plugins similar to tuna? not snip, something that'll pull from vlc source

[night spire]

Afternoon all, I am looking for a way to send my OBS to a linux PC that will handle the encoding and recording of the video but I don't want to send this over hdmi as I would like to be able to controll the audio outputs. I had a look at NDI but this doesn't work on linux (at least not my pc). The whole idea is to remove the load of streaming and recording from my gaming system as I do loose some performance while doing this

[spare turtle]

ohh gotchu~ thanks again for updating about this! codeyan~

[vale vine]

Could try teleport. Looks like it works on Linux too
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/teleport.1445/

Though ndi plugin is listed as compatible with linux

But ndi does have certain cpu requirements

But I would def suggest capture card for the video feed and if you want to send separate audios, maybe something like vban. Would probably be lighter than having obs running on game pc in any capacity

[night spire]

The thing with ndi is I was running it in a kasm workspace environment as I want to have two seprate PC's streaming to my server. I am had trouble with their installer and it kept failing the checksum. After manually downloading I saw it was a bash script but I could not read it so I stopped. I will look into vban. I really need a really budget oriented approach and a capture card costs as much as upgrading the PC in my country.

[night spire]

I looked at teleport but I can't get it to detect my PC, not sure if it is because of the issue with ports or nat as it is inside a docker container

[untold jay]

@night spire Disable firewalls on both ends when troubleshooting ndi or teleport.

[night spire]

Issue with NDI is the plugin did not even register in OBS, going to attached the docker container to the host network later on next attempt. Sadly am without power now for another 4 hours

[rough plume]

Guys does a Plugin exist for a Speech to Text plugin that can also translate it with maybe the google API or something like that?

I found https://github.com/eddieoz/OBS-live-translation and did everything... but this don't work. The recognition for the Mic isn't popping up and there is only a text (translating here) so... yeah. That doesn't work.

[harsh topaz]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/closed-captioning-via-google-speech-recognition.833/

[rough plume]

But this plugin doesn't have translation 🙂

[harsh topaz]

Oh, sorry. Thought you just wanted different languages.

I don't believe it translates, no.

[rough plume]

Yes. It is a sugestion for the addon... i would appreciate but the Plugin dev didn't made it yet... even after 2 years. Well... https://github.com/Hedrauta this guy created now a site for me. Where STT will be also translated 🙂

[nocturne flare]

Does anyone know any browser based animated overlays? Thank you in advance

[dark sapphire]

the internet is full of them. depends entirely on what you're looking for

[vapid charm]

@weak escarp Assuming I'm reading this correctly (https://twitter.com/exeldro/status/1648351748405227520) it would be possible to have a "mask" appear over my face like this and track with the motion?

[obsidian agate]

the NVidia broadcast stuff needed an RTX card, right?

(debating swapping my Gaming PCs 2060FE that has been performing a little rough since I repasted it last year, with my OBS-PC's 1660 standard edition just so I can use this move filter update)

[vapid charm]

20xx minimum

Well For NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 Series or NVIDIA Quadro RTX

And 30/40

[obsidian agate]

thanks, ill probably test swap them today to see how things go regarding the Gaming PC using the 1660.

[weak escarp]

Correct

[vapid charm]

And I assume with ASS it could be a on/off timed thing as well?

[sleek lynx]

someone say ass?.... j/k

does anyone know of a plugin/script besides tuna, that can pull track names (now playing info) and stuff from a VLC source? I bean googling but its looking bleak. I pointed out tuna was broken in certain scenarios and he said he knows but hes too lazy to fix it, so seeing if something else exists.

heh. misspelled been

[bright sapphire]

you can click on your message and select the "pencil" and edit your message 🙂

[sleek lynx]

then it looks like im hiding my stupidity, guess im old school i feel if I point it out first you cant use it against me

well ill take your silence as a no 😦

this is why monopoly's shouldn't exist! end users get shafted 😉

they should upgrade vlc source/playlist to have multiple playlists, and a hotkey to switch between them, would likely fix my issue

[gusty briar]

@weak escarp thanks for the new amazing feature. Can i move my face to another source to? Or else the source to the face?

[weak escarp]

probably, what exactly is it you want do?

[quiet bramble]

Can't wait to try out the new source texture feature in shaderfilter, kudos for that @weak escarp Should be able to do some wild stuff with that, including alternative to Dynamic Mask

[gusty briar]

i show only my face on stream. And i put my face on bodys (sources). But when i move my face to the left or right then my face is not connecting to the body. here am example https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1626593293

[weak escarp]

you can crop the facecam using the bounding box

[gusty briar]

Ok. Thanks. I will try this.

[white wave]

is there any way to apply a rotation effect to a Group, but from a specific anchor point instead of from the center of the group? such as having the whole group rotate based around the location of just one of the assets within that group? i'm using the move transition plugin right now, but can't figure it out!

in this example i have three sources, a text source, a color source yellow, and another color source white for the tape. i want the corner of the tape i highlighted with a red circle to stay in one place on the screen, and create a swinging effect, while every other pieces moves together.

[quiet bramble]

The positional alignment configuration in the transform menu determines the anchor point of a source. The rotation will occur around that point. No idea if it works with the Groups feature or not as the Groups feature is quite broken in many ways and many people (myself included) avoid using it in favour of nested scenes and other solutions. You could try the positional alignment however.

[white wave]

the menu that says center, top left, etc? how could i set those to make it rotate with the tape as the anchor point? and now that i think about it i am using nested scenes for the rotation not groups! i just confused the terms, my b.

[quiet bramble]

The transform positional alignment is around the corners, center and side midpoints only. The only way to make a source rotate around an arbitrary pixel in the source would be to write custom code to rotate it around that point, such as using a pixel shader.

[white wave]

corners will work great for my purposes i think

[quiet bramble]

If the object is something that could be loaded in a web page, then it'd be possible to rotate it using CSS in a browser source also.

Although that's a bit more heavyweight.

[white wave]

its just a color source in obs, i think i will try to stay out of browser source for now hehe

[quiet bramble]

I can think of an ugly hack way of doing it using just OBS features too (around an arbitrary point), but it'd be a bit of a pain to set up.

[white wave]

probably not ideal regardless since i am rotating and then placing the tape on a random X axis each time using RAW

[quiet bramble]

Basically duplicating the source 4x and setting positional alignment in bottom right on one copy, bottom left in another, top right in another, top left in another, essentially splitting the source into 4, where the rotation point is in a corner, then rotating all 4 sources at the same time. Yeah... I said it was ugly.... where there's a will there's a way though, that's my motto. 😛

[white wave]

lol! i absolutely agree about that. if it works it works

[white wave]

so it is that Top Right menu? selecting Top Right would then rotate based on the Top Right corner? ig im wondering, if im rotating for example a whole nested scene at 1280x720, wouldn't it rotate from the corner of that scene and not from the tape pixel on the tape source within that nested scene itself?

[quiet bramble]

yup. I've done worse, much much worse... probably in violation of international laws regarding OBS configuration even... LOL

yes, the source within would have to be moved so the rotation point is in a corner

[white wave]

ohh i understand

so in the nested scene i will drag my note card and the tape and everyting so its even slightly offscreen, and the tape is right in the corner of the whole scene

the corner of the tape i mean

[quiet bramble]

It'd be much more ideal to use a custom shader to do it though, rotating around an arbitrary pixel coordinate.

[white wave]

would that work if im placing the tape on a random x axis though? it could "spawn" anywhere along the top of the sticky note

i fear that would mess up the specific pixel coordinate method

[quiet bramble]

Typically things like this require custom solutions in my experience.

[white wave]

thats what i was afraid of! i'll see if i can cheese it. thanks a lot for your insight and ideas

[lament leaf]

Not to interrupt, are you trying to make a sticky note with stuff written on it for Viewers?

[white wave]

yes kind of

and no worries

[lament leaf]

Like "No Backseating" and such

[white wave]

uhh well not rules

[lament leaf]

Because there is a vtuber asset that exist for that

One even has a "blank" sticky note

[white wave]

im actually creating what is turning out to be a pretty elaborate way to automate displaying requests on screen until they get played (dj streamer)

[white wave]

i would love to check this out though for inspo!

[lament leaf]

https://ko-fi.com/s/09a9ca0dc0

It is free to use

But would give you an idea at least

Interesting, well hope it helps at least. 😄

[white wave]

thx guys!
