Welcome

[meager fractal]

Anyone familiar with any cool plugins that affect real life? i saw one person that had a plugin of some sort that triggered her bubble machine irl to go off. i'm wondering if there's a sphere on the net of cool IRL stuff like that on OBS

[hard jay]

Probably not anything in OBS.

I would expect people to handle that through some kind of bot.

Not OBS itself.

[white wave]

you can use a software like streamer.bot to trigger this kind of thing. think of obs as one aspect you can trigger, and external stuff such as lights or bubble machines as another. but a software is needed to actually send commands to everything.

[sleek lynx]

shakes head I moved it all back to the original, 1 vlc source changed via adv-ss, and its still F-ING BROKEN IF YOU NEST OR GROUP IT! I swore I tested it before committing but now its not working... crying I'm so sick of messing with these mother fing limitations... I'm spending 4-5 hrs a day reworking this crap for 2 weeks and I'm just spinning my wheels...F! ....This was a dramatization of how I feel right now, no I am not crying. Just aggravated as f. Gonna take a brake.

[mint fractal]

@weak escarp when you geta chance can you help me figure out what is causing AR move to crash obs please. Whenever you have a minute, no rush. Appreciate it.

[weak escarp]

you have a crash report for me to look at?

[weak escarp]

are you sure you installed the correct version sdk for your graphics card? there are different versions of the SDK for different series of the card.

[mint fractal]

yes, I grabbed the one for 30 series cards.

I can uninstall and try again. See if it changes anything.

[weak escarp]

Can you also provide me an OBS log file of a session that crashed?

[mint fractal]

I wasn't recording or streaming while I was trying to set things up so I only have that log, and another from minutes before, that are essentially the same.

[weak escarp]

obs menu help -> log files -> upload previous log file and paste the link here

Is the crash as soon as you add the filter or after you changed some settings?

[mint fractal]

it was crashing as soon as I added it a couple times, if I drag the filters menu to another monitor so I can see the effect as I make adjustments others, and sometimes when I am adjusting setings.

I just reinstalled the SDKs and am going to launch OBS again and see if it worked itself out

[solar dust]

Try with HAGS (Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler) disabled.

[mint fractal]

Yup. So far this is the longest it has worked lol.

I forgot to turn that off when I reinstalled my OS the other day. Only noticed it was on when I posted that log. Seems to have done the job. So no HAGS with AR move.

Thank you both 🙂

MOVE TRANSITION PLUGIN

I figured out a way to mirror/flip a source with an animation using the move transition plugin by doing scale: x -1.000 using the move source filter but I'm having issues with the source being yeeted way of screen even though I didn't add a relative or get position value.
I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm having input issues.
I've attached screenshots of the transform values before and after the move source filter was applied once alongside the input from the filter. I find that the results are inconsistent but on all of the sources I've tested this on, the results are undesireable.
If I can get any help in understanding where this issue is stemming from so that I can get the result I want; a flip animation of the source where it resumes it's relative position on the screen, I would greatly appreciate it. ~

[onyx pike]

Hi there, I'm having a lot of trouble with my OBS right now. I'm on version 29.0.2 and wanted to get the plugin for Virtual Camera. I went and downloaded both the newer version and an older version, and neither worked. I then deleted them, and am still getting the "obs-virtualoutput" error, and still don't see the Virtual Camera option in my Tools. Any advice? I'm not super technical, and would love to learn.

[fossil wyvern]

just to know, why can't you use the builtin virtual camera

[untold jay]

@onyx pike Are you referring to https://github.com/Avasam/obs-virtual-cam ?

[onyx pike]

Where would that be? I'm a VTuber, and was hoping to be able to use my Avatar while doing a live video event, and was told I'd need to install the Virtual Camera, but it's totally possible I was given wrong information haha

[onyx pike]

No, would that be what you recommend?

[fossil wyvern]

I don't see how the virtual camera would be needed for that, and if it is, the builtin probably works

[onyx pike]

Okay, thank you so much! Any idea why OBS is giving that error code even though I deleted those plugins? It's not super bothersome, but I'd love to address it if I can

[golden surge]

Do you have these options in your control dock?

[keen comet]

hi guys,
there is a tool or a way to export my OBS "stream" from gaming pc to another in my room? so that the gaming pc has not to render it. over virtual camera or so? or is NDI now good enough without lags?

[spiral ruin]

NDI is good, as long as you have gigabit ethernet connections for the PCs. No wireless. In fact, a good wired connection is mandatory for any network/software solution to get content from one PC to another.

[spiral ruin]

Or, use a capture card with passthrough.

[keen comet]

capture card is no solution, because i use game captures and so one. so i need really the output stream

i tested NDI 1 year ago or so with PC to Macbook via 1gb ethernet. it was laggy and sound was behind some times 🤔

[spiral ruin]

no, you can use the capture card. Game capture is for games running on the same pc as obs. Capture card will capture the game as rendered to your display. Video out from game PC > Capture card > Passthrough hdmi to the game dispay, capture card > USB to the stream PC, and OBS captures that as a video capture device.

[keen comet]

i know what you mean, but i mean i use game capture for the game, window capture for browser and so on. i dont want the capture card to "record" my whole display. so i think the only solution is to send my OBS preview or virtual cam to my other pc

[spiral ruin]

I don't understand how you are using game capture if you plan to dual pc. Game capture only works if both the game AND OBS are on the same pc.

[keen comet]

1. PC - OBS with game capture for the game, window capture for browser, add ons with window capture and so on but i want to export the OBS preview (without rendering) to the other PC to let my CPU and GPU to concentrate an gaming.
2. PC - OBS with the 1 main INPUTsource from the other PC to use this PC for STREAM RENDERING

[spiral ruin]

With a capture card, you would not need to use OBS on the game PC, thus freeing up resources. OBS preview is not a proper render. Full screen projection would be, and is rendered by the cpu/gpu depending on your hardware and your settings.

Unless you are recording on the game pc with OBS, and want to stream only from the other one.

either case, a capture card can still be more useful if your network can't sustain a stable connection. Audio can still be complex, routing it to the stream pc, which is why dual PC setups aren't worth the effort except to solve specific issues or achieve certain goals.

[keen comet]

thanks for you help

maybe i will try NDI first and if this is crap i will think about a capture card 🙈

[spiral ruin]

Teleport is another software option too. I haven't tried it yet but I've heard other people use it here. I use NDI because I have content from up to 4 possible PCs, even though I still record/stream from the main PC. And I have a capture device for external sources like cameras or other hdmi connected device.

[golden surge]

If anyone with knowledge on the move transition plugin can help me with this query, I would really appreciate the input~!! #plugins-and-tools message

[fossil wyvern]

set positional alignment to center

[golden surge]

I think this is what you were recommending, I do notice that this time the image wasn't taken out of its aspect ratio which is a hopeful sign but it's still getting yeeted off the screen~

[fossil wyvern]

lemme test shit

[fossil wyvern]

what if you click on "get transform" instead of "transform relative" and put the -1 there?

[golden surge]

@fossil wyvern Like this? or did I mess something up again?

nah not you the other dude dw

[sleek lynx]

@fossil wyvern the way I fixed my tuna/nested problem is I made a single scene with just the vlc and title text layers, using adv-ss to change playlists, then used source mirrors in the nested scenes I had issues with. but now........ 😉 if I change off the source mirror scenes, the audio continues to run

trying to find a adv-ss command to stop that, but not having luck

[golden surge]

Can I just double check the results you're getting with your tests?

[regal pine]

i get this error when trying to manully build a obs plugin does anyone know how to fix it ```CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:669 (find_package):

have you built libobs? You need to correctly point at the libobs files 😅

[regal pine]

tried the libobs from program files obs folder and also the libobs from the folder you use to manually compile obs and still didn't work i'm just trying to compile a plugin

[analog ruin]

you should compile obs, and point at that one

[regal pine]

now i get this error ```CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.26/Modules/CMakeFindDependencyMacro.cmake:76 (find_package):

[analog ruin]

are you building a plugin using the pluginTemplate? Or is this some one elses project?
I feel like you would have a way easier time if you went with the pluginTemplate, assuming its not too much work to start over with it, or migrate the work over

If that's the case I think I might do a clean install of OBS and the plugins. I made sure I checked for updates and for integrity but nothing was off :/

[manic ermine]

Has anyone figured out the coordinate system used by the gaze in the NVidia Ar Move filter in the latest obs-move-transition? The NV docs (https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/maxine/ar-sdk-programming-guide/index.html) aren't much help. I cannot tell if the GazeVector yaw is relative to my head or the camera as the value doesn't seem to follow any logical pattern. Sometimes it's close to zero when I'm looking a full 90 degrees from the camera, sometimes it's close to zero when I'm staring down the barrel. Losing tracking does make it go to -90 deg though.

The Direction vector makes even less sense the Z value is just ALWAYS nearly 1, no matter which way I look. It SHOULD be in the same coordinate system as the head position which has -Z pointing into the camera lens. But NV's gaze sample on github has the z and y going the other way https://github.com/NVIDIA/MAXINE-AR-SDK/blob/master/samples/GazeRedirect/GazeEngine.cpp#L299. But I think this is just for OpenCV's coordinate space.

I pulled the source to obs-move-transition to try to hack in a value for eye contact with the camera. The values of these vectors and angles seem like nonsense. Is the gaze tracking in NV's AR SDK just bad, is my face just incompatible with NV AR, or have I miss understood dot products this whole time?

Sharing this simple countdown clock I built, you can override colors pretty easily in the OBS BrowserSource by setting :root properties:

body {
    background: none; /* Add this, the rest in `body` are defaults */
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    margin: 0px auto;
    overflow: hidden;
}

:root {
  /* These are the defaults */
  --colorClockBase: #f233734b;
  --colorColon: #f2337333;
  --colorOutline: #f233735b;
}

Custom duration can be set with ?duration=### at the end of the URL

[lethal bloom]

I'm having a bit of an issue, I was looking to see if anyone had the same problem as me. There was one person who had the same problem as me back in Feb, but I didn't see the solution to the issue. My countdown timer freezes when I switch into Studio Mode. Is there a way I can fix it? Thank you kindly.

[regal breach]

What are you using for the countdown timer?

[lethal bloom]

I'm using it for streaming, so it's on my first scene that I have. to countdown when stream is about to go live.

[regal breach]

Yes, what are you using as the countdown timer?

[lethal bloom]

I apologize I'm not tech savvy, just learning as I go. I'm guessing you mean what the script is called? I"m using CountdownDays.lua I'm not sure if I answered your question right.

[regal breach]

Can you post that script here?

[lethal bloom]

I'm not sure if I did this right but this is the entire script

[regal breach]

When you turn off studio mode, does the timer resume?

[lethal bloom]

Yes, that's correct.

[regal breach]

What source did you select? Is it a text source?

[lethal bloom]

Yes, that's correct. Text source.

[regal breach]

And when you go into studio mode, that text source is in the current scene, but not the preview scene (scene on the left)?

[lethal bloom]

When I go into studio mode, both texts are showing in both windows, but the timer is not running, it's frozen.

[regal breach]

I see, thank you

Really should be fixed by whoever wrote that script, but lemme try finding the issue

[lethal bloom]

Thank you, I appreciate this.

[regal breach]

well, it appears to be working fine on mine

[lethal bloom]

then it means I'm doing something that's stopping it from working

[regal breach]

can you share a recording of the issue happening on yours?

[lethal bloom]

crap

hold on

lmao I didn't hit studio mode my mistake

[regal breach]

i was wondering when studio mode will appear lol

I am quite sure a good portion of users used StreamFX solely for the 3D and blur filters 🙂

[obsidian agate]

Now we just need an alternative to Dynamic Mask

[fossil wyvern]

can't shaders do that?

[obsidian agate]

As in use one scene as a mask for another scene?

[fossil wyvern]

ok that maybe not

[obsidian agate]

yee

[glacial haven]

I think an alternative way to do that was presented on nutty's VOD youtube channel using built-in OBS features with the Multiply blend mode

[quiet bramble]

Exeldro just added support to OBS Shaderfilter for a feature that would allow at least someone to write shaders with similar functionality to Dynamic Mask

I haven't experimented heavy with it yet but on my radar next time I get the coding bug. From there it's probably rather trivial to whip up a shader and wrap it in a LUA script or plugin

[lethal bloom]

I got it fixed. I basically had to look up how to reset OBS and then I manually redid my scenes piece by piece and watched a tutorial to better understand the functions of each section: Scenes, Sources, Transition, etc. I understand how transitions work now. The window on the right is what the viewers would see and the the one on the left is just a preview of what scene you pick that is going to go to the next transition to the window on the right.

[regal breach]

That's great!

[hollow gull]

Is there a plugin that makes an "Interactable" browser source without using the interact box? Or a plugin that gives us the OPTION of making a source interactable?

[mortal harbor]

no, the only way to interact with a browser source is through the "interact" option.

[hollow gull]

I wonder if making browser sources interactable is something they're working on, or even considering

[mortal harbor]

not that i've seen.

[hollow gull]

I might submit it as an idea

there's plenty of browser based games (like stream raiders) that would benefit from an interactivity toggle

[mortal harbor]

you can always capture a browser with window capture and just interact inside your actual browser. i think it would be better built for that anyways.

[hollow gull]

Yeah, this just seems more convenient, especially for things that are only done in one scene

[oblique yew]

To capture only audio from specific programs:

Windows

• add an Application Audio Capture (BETA) source and select the program to capture
• alternatively, you can also use the win-capture-audio plugin on Windows 10 2004 and later

macOS

• macOS 13 (Ventura): add a macOS Screen Capture source, use Window or Application, and select the app to capture
• for previous versions of macOS, follow the macOS Desktop Audio Capture Guide

[glacial haven]

I feel like all those solutions are mostly following the idea "capture specific audio sources" while the more common use case instead is "I want to capture everything except a certain source" (e.g. don't want copyrighted music in the recording/stream or private Discord conversations) - or can one of these plugins/sources work in that way?

I mean, technically it will still be about capturing specific sources, but the plugin would have to auto-detect every new source and capture it, except if it's on a pre-defined exclusion list

[regal breach]

the win-capture-audio plugin does that

[glacial haven]

what? man, how did I miss that, this is amazing!

thx ❤️

[ancient lichen]

Using Websocket 5 how do I get a list of monitors? I know the GetMonitorList but I am not sure how run it and get the output

[half hound]

If I am looking to get some help with a plugin on obs would I speak about it here? or in the windows support??

[fossil wyvern]

here

[half hound]

I don't understand why Nvidia Broadcast filter works for me half the time, and not the other half. First image is the "Filter" and second in through the software. Once in awhile, the filter will work properly? and other times it does what it is doing right now. Any ideas?

[timber chasm]

Is that the new plug-in that was available through the SDK download?

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[timber chasm]

I vaguely remember a strength slider.

[half hound]

I believe it is the plugin that comes with the SDK download yes.

Here is the sliders

I just made sure I had the latest SDK download and update as well

[timber chasm]

It was threshold. I reduced mine by like .05

So .95

[timber chasm]

No, BY. Not TO

so mine is .95.

[half hound]

Yours is like this right?

[timber chasm]

I don’t know what the second slider was, but that is my threshold slider, I think. Experiment with threshold.

[half hound]

If you look at the last two, its almost all or nothing? from .05 to .10

[timber chasm]

I’m very confused. Maybe it’s freaking out because of your jacket?

[half hound]

The really weird thing, is sometimes it seems to work and others it doesn't. I can't imagine the lighting is it, should work better with everything well lit?

[timber chasm]

Oh, it’s because it’s upside down.

[fossil wyvern]

why is it inverted?

[timber chasm]

The AI wasn’t designed for that.

[fossil wyvern]

^

[half hound]

I am using droid came and the camera is upside. you think it really. hmm.... hold please!

[timber chasm]

Invert it in your Droid Cam settings, please.

[half hound]

Well look at that! That is exactly it! The AI got confused because the image source was upside down!

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, it's not trained on upside down images

[timber chasm]

Alright! Consider reducing the threshold to .95 or something again, because you will be slightly transparent otherwise.

[fossil wyvern]

I wish I could be slightly transparent sometimes

[half hound]

Oh, good thinking! So now I need to figure out how to flip the image source through droid cam

[timber chasm]

Does it come with a settings app?

Like with Elgato Facecam?

[half hound]

Genius! No, there is a obs droidcam app that it syncs with, looked at settings and there is a flip button.

Mind blown! The AI couldn't figure it out because the source image was upside down!

[timber chasm]

Make sure that gets applied before any filters.

[half hound]

Yeah that is affecting the image source before getting into OBS

[timber chasm]

Alright, good!

[half hound]

If I add filters it didn't help, because the AI was loooking at the source which was upside down! That is such a trip!

Thank you for your help! This was driving me nuts!

[untold jay]

Is that a service of some kind?

[solemn panther]

its a browser source that allows you to play clips when shouting people out

[untold jay]

Does it work in a web browser?

i have tried twitch guru clippy streamelements and a stream labs overlay

it all works in the web browser along with streamlabs

just not obs

There is the one from the browser source

[hard jay]

That link doesn't work in a normal browser for me.

the twitch.guru link

if I manually generate one using the actual website, it seems to work fine

[solemn panther]

The max audio buffering... How do i fix that

[hard jay]

Source Chaos audio is lagging (over by 263692.01 ms) at max audio buffering. Restarting source audio.

Which looks like some kind of loopback audio device, so probably just a buggy driver for whatever that is.

Nevermind, tested with my own channel and both things are working in OBS just fine for me.

I'd recommend trying vanilla OBS without SE's plugin as a next step, as that has been known to cause weird issues with browser sources in the past.

[solemn panther]

How do i remove the SE plugin without losing everything?

[hard jay]

removing their plugin doesn't remove any settings.

[solemn panther]

ok how do i remove the plug in?

[vapid charm]

Assuming it's a recently updated version you can remove it via windows settings.

[solemn panther]

Requires rtx gpu tho

[spiral stratus]

Do I need a streaming pc if I want to record and stream at the same time???

[obsidian agate]

no, an Nvidia GPU with NVENC hardware encoding can handle recording and streaming at once. I have a GTX 1660 that can handle that just fine, since the hardware encoder is a dedicated chip.

I personally run a dual PC setup (gaming pc and streaming pc), mostly because I do a lot of visuals and compositing in OBS, so it needs a dedicated system to run it

[glacial haven]

x264 could also work if the PC can already handle that currently for only recording or only streaming - then just make sure you use the same quality settings for both recording and stream, then encoding needs to be done only once

[dusky basin]

don't use "the same quality settings" for that, select "use stream encoder"

[nocturne pasture]

I need help with the virtual camera being mirrored

[oblique yew]

The view you see in your application is flipped for you only. This is because most applications expect a webcam, and they want to mimic looking in a mirror for your own preview. Everyone else sees what you see in the OBS preview.

[mortal harbor]

Hello does anyone know a program for a map hider on a double pc setup

[glass flower]

Morning all. Hoping someone can help me . I have an iPhone 13 Pro. I have the iPhone to hdmi cable which gets plugged into my splitter that unlocks copyrighted material. When connected I open OBS and I add video capture . But I do not see my phone . I want to be able to use the Camera. Any help is great. Thank you

[spiral ruin]

Just place a graphic or some kind of source to block the view of the map when you don't want it seen.

[oblique yew]

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

[vapid charm]

@spiral ruin I'm assuming they're wanting to do the "hold hotkey/button to cover a portion of the displayed image on stream and disappear on release" thing aka Rust streamers.

And actually might be this they want. Not sure if it'll work as is atm. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/push-to-hide-show-hotkey-with-custom-delay-for-game-rust.1463/

Thanks for the help

[heady pewter]

hey guys i have the problem that every time i start the computer the websocket changes the ip and i have to reconnect my streamerbot and streamdeck via the websocket tool. Does anyone here know the problem?

[regal breach]

is it the ip that changes, or the port?

[queen sierra]

.... hold on a second... does Source Record have a resolution limit?

[heady pewter]

it seems that the ip changes everytime not the port.

[heady pewter]

can i reset the plugin settings or anything like that?

[regal breach]

that means it has nothing to do with the plugin. it's just how networks work, your computer is assigned an ip. if you want the ip to not change, you could search how to use a static IP

https://www.howtogeek.com/19249/how-to-assign-a-static-ip-address-in-xp-vista-or-windows-7/

here's one article, but i have no guarantee on whether it works

but i trust howtogeek

[rancid fossil]

Alternatively you can tell your router to assign your machine the same IP (most routers have such an option). Usually the computer name is also set as a hostname in the local net, so you could be able to use that hostname instead of an IP.

[solemn panther]

Hey just wanted to follow up on the max audio issue?

[potent vault]

I don't know if this or #scripting would be a better fit:

Is there a way to somehow get all available OBS Websocket functions and it's parameters?
As in, optimally all that are registered by other plugins, too?
I'm trying to setup a "Send raw OBS Websocket message" effect in Firebot and would be interested in knowing what parameters specifically I'd have to send for a specific function haha

[fossil wyvern]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/blob/master/docs/generated/protocol.md
Afaik this lists all requests and events supported by the protocol, any custom messages set by clients using websocket will be with the BroadcastCustomEvent request

[potent vault]

Oh neat! Yeah it lists the one I'm interested in, TriggerHotkeyByKeySequence, but unfortunately there's no example for it 😦
Wish that could be expanded on in the future, but I understand if that's not planned

[fossil wyvern]

I mean, seems decently straightforward to me, but you can always ask for clarification. There's a discord specifically for the plugin

[potent vault]

... Or I'll just ask ChatGPT if it can build me a JSON object with it haha

[fossil wyvern]

I would personally disadvise that, but your choice

like, there's literally a discord full of people that dev shit with websockets that can answer your question, why ask a dumbass copy-paste machine

[potent vault]

Sure

I'll join the Discord instead

[potent vault]

Ended up getting it to work btw - googled for some OBS websocket related thing and found this website
https://obs-raw.streamer.bot/

Will definitely ask in the websocket discord though if I have more questions though, thank you for pointing me there! 😄

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!

[fossil wyvern]

that's a pretty damn good site, ty for this

[potent vault]

Np! not sure if it's posted in the obs websocket discord already

[fossil wyvern]

@ripe fossil what distro you on?

[ripe fossil]

openSUSE Tumbleweed

.rpm based

[fossil wyvern]

hm, you can always try to rip out the .deb of multi rtmp and plopping the .so in, might work.
Otherwise, just build it, it's not too hard

[ripe fossil]

I've tried

I have no idea how to get it work with flatpak version of obs

[fossil wyvern]

if you wanna try the unga-bunga method, unzip this in ~/.var/app/com.obsproject.Studio/config/obs-studio/plugins

[exotic oracle]

Hey. Does anyone know if there is a plugin that can replicate camera shake?

[fossil wyvern]

what exactly would trigger the camera to shake?

cause if it's sound I have a script that can do it

[quiet bramble]

just shaders

[exotic oracle]

No trigger. Just a shaking motion in general

[fossil wyvern]

then yeah a shader

[exotic oracle]

Uh is that already in obs or can you please link me the info about it?

[fossil wyvern]

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

[quiet bramble]

no, you need a shader plugin for that. OBS Shaderfilter has a "shake" shader, although it is very crude and not so great. It might be good enough though depending on what you're wanting.

[exotic oracle]

Thank you for the help. I'll take a look

[quiet bramble]

If it doesn't work well enough then a custom pixel shader would be needed. I'm not aware of any other pre-existing shake shaders for OBS, but there could be something out there.

If I were to implement one myself I think I'd have it zoom into the source so there is 25-100 pixels out of bounds, then offset randomly within the texture, possibly modulating the sample axes with sine waves or similar.

[fossil wyvern]

imo best way to have a shake that looks organic is to set it as a dampened harmonic oscillator with a random impulse

[quiet bramble]

Mind you, effects like this might be murder on the video codec too depending on how good the motion compensation handles the movement

I haven't tested that yet personally but I'm generally concerned how shaders might interact with video encoding poorly

[exotic oracle]

Yeah. I'm trying to replicate cam shake for car Cinematics on Assetto corsa. Maybe I'll be able to figure something out.

[fossil wyvern]

does that shake look good to you?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/301455266115878913/1098700678899183686/2023-04-20_22-00-49.mp4

[quiet bramble]

Another option is to see if there is something similar to what you'd like on Shadertoy, Shaderoo, GLSandbox and similar sites. Then it is a matter of having it ported from GLSL to OBS-SL which is kindof like HLSL.

[quiet bramble]

looks ok

[exotic oracle]

Yeah looks good

[fossil wyvern]

yee my question is whether it'd fit their purpose.
Cause if yes, I can simply modify the script to do it constantly instead of on sound

ouki, gimme a bit and I'll modify the script

[exotic oracle]

No rush for it

[white saddle]

Hey all - anyone know of a plugin that will allow me to use my iphone 13 to be a sound board using a launchpad app? Want to record video and be able to monitor the audio coming from the phone as I push different buttons.

[hexed parcel]

hello everyone. is there any known alternative for the streamFX sdf effect? I am still on obs 27 and want to update, but I rely on that effect to basically apply a huge black text shadow to a webm video so that text is readable on any background. the best I found so far was the shader-filter plugin from exaldro with the drop-shadow effect but that is limited to a blur of 15, which isn't enough for this

[sullen hollow]

I'm still running obs 27 as well waiting for streamFX

[hexed parcel]

at this point, I doubt it will ever finish. The only use of it that I care about is this outline on the video, I have two of those. Worst case scenario is I need to add this effect into the videos itself, but I'd rather not because they are frame by frame animations I did by hand

[sullen hollow]

it will finish, as of Mar. 4th it was moved into Beta. Then canidate is next, then release. half way there !! LOL

[hexed parcel]

it took nearly 2 years to get this far, so 2 years to candidate and another 2 for release? by that time, obs will have changed enough that it won't matter

[sullen hollow]

LOL !! True story, but don't kill my hope ....... its all i got these days

[north hollow]

Plugin for VB audio cable?

[spiral ruin]

You don't need one. You install the cable, then make the virtual connections with it between the apps you want to route audio from and to.

[north hollow]

how?

[spiral ruin]

What part are you asking 'how' for?

[barren escarp]

ive been trying to send a websocket command to deactivate/reactivate a video capture device, to refresh it and fix a freeze quicker.

Reading the protocol commands avilable for websocket, it seems like PressInputPropertiesButton can do what i want, the documentation says i can use propertyName to point towards an specific setting, the issue is i cant find any list about what parameters this request field can accept, anyone can help me with this or point me in the right direction?

[north hollow]

to make the virtual connections

[spiral ruin]

What do you want to use the cable for? I assume you want to make a connection, either in or out of OBS. What kind of connection, and with what other app?

[north hollow]

in obs with chrome

[spiral ruin]

So output from Chrome to OBS, or output from OBS to Chrome? The direction matters

[north hollow]

Chrome to OBS

[spiral ruin]

You don't need a cable. You can use application audio capture source, and select chrome as the source, if you just need the audio playback. Or, if you are capturing the Chrome window, just check the Control audio via OBS in the source properties, and it will add the audio as a source in your audio mixer.

[north hollow]

I see it now thanks

[barren escarp]

i see that i can see a list of the source settings if i use GetInputPropertiesListPropertyItems, but again, it asks me for "propertyName" which i dont know what to put there to make it show the list

[floral dock]

How do i open up the stream comments in OBS so that i dont need to have my actual stream open

[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.

[regal breach]

property name in a video capture device?

you can check the property names available by doing https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/blob/master/docs/generated/protocol.md#getinputsettings, the inputSettings returned will have the saved properties

[barren escarp]

i got more advanced trying to use SetInputSettings, but still couldnt get it to activate or deactivate it

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/380199921149673472/1101661133116555334/image.png?width=705&height=512

reading the documentation, i guess thats suppose to work, but obs doesnt deactivate the ATEM source with that code

it does reset the source to default settings if i put the overlay to false, like the documentation says

[regal breach]

what documentation are you reading

[barren escarp]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/blob/master/docs/generated/protocol.md

think its the same you linked

[regal breach]

accdg to the source code of the video capture device source, the propertyName of the activate button is 'activate' https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/plugins/win-dshow/win-dshow.cpp#L1950

which means you can use PressInputPropertiesButton

with 'activate' as the propertyName

[barren escarp]

ah nice

maybe that will work, but can test until tomorrow :/

[regal breach]

it will 🙂

Hi everyone, I can't connect Twitchat to OBS using Websocket OBS, can you help going through ? Thx

[fossil wyvern]

is twitchat on the same computer as obs?

[lyric spoke]

Twitchat is an URL, but yes, the browser is on the same computer.

[fossil wyvern]

then put 127.0.0.1 as the url and check again

[lyric spoke]

Already done : the connection is running without any response.

Can I set the 127.0.0.1 IP to OBS ?

[fossil wyvern]

127.0.0.1 means "this computer"

since both are on the same computer, then 127.0.0.1 is the right IP

[lyric spoke]

ok, what about the settings on Websoscket OBS ? Can I set the IP to 127.0.0.1 then ?

[fossil wyvern]

that's the local ip of your computer in the local network

your computer is still 127.0.0.1 for itself

Coming by here to add some details in case other people have a similar issue later 🙂

The issue actually comes from Safari refusing unsecured connections to localhost from a secured domain which all other browser accept.
This page https://obs-web.niek.tv/ has the same issue when using HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP.

I could never find any official specification about whether unsecured calls to 127.0.0.1 and localhost from secured domains should be accepted or not by browsers but my experience and that of many shows that it's possible for the vast majority of users and browsers.
But sometimes it's blocked even on chrome for very few users. I could never figure out why.

Unless OBS-websocket adds SSL support, which they apparently won't T_T, there's nothing much web tools can do exept for disabling SSL which would be a terrible idea 😅

[spare turtle]

it seems to work in rc1 .w.~ so ig it should work fine when its 29.1 is fully out~

[regal breach]

yep, Rodney fixed the issue

it was a problem with a recent obs update

thanks for testing!

[quartz tendon]

So I'm using a plugin for OBS which allows me to separate audio individually for each application. This is great and all, but for whatever reason, I can only have an audio source on one scene, and it will not play any audio if another source using the same application is on a different scene. For example, spotify audio. It works fine on my intermission scene, but if I try to make another one on my recording/strean scene, it plays no audio. If I restart my OBS, the new one will now play the audio, but the old one will not

Does anyone know a potential fix for this? Or is this just sort seem to be an issue with the particular plugin?

[vagrant minnow]

That functionality is built into OBS 29.

[dusky basin]

are you making a new source every time? you can just re-add the same source to multiple scenes

(plus that it's now built-in)

[quartz tendon]

wait what? I couldnt find an option like that anywhere

its the whole reason I got a plugin for it in the first place

[spare turtle]

you could try with the 3rd option~ so when yu reopen obs if the process exists it would still emit audio

[quartz tendon]

yeah I have it set to that

[quartz tendon]

oh, thats the one I'm using insane

I am smoothbrain supreme

not even using the plugin version

so then I'm having an issue with the base OBS one, not the plugin I guess

[dusky basin]

-^ ?

[quartz tendon]

if I re-add the same source, the audio will mirror. I want it to be louder on one scene than the other

[spare turtle]

oh if that's the case why not automate it. you could do it with adv-ss or sammi etc so yu can keep the same source but the vol changes for specific scene or so?

[quartz tendon]

I have no idea what either of those things are

[spare turtle]

so like there's 2 methods

1- from within obs ( obs plugin ) adv-ss = advanced scene switcher https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/advanced-scene-switcher.395/ you can make like macros to do it~

2. external softwares like - sammi, streamerbot etc ( which uses obs websocket to read obs data and make changes~ ( think of it like how you can use streamdeck and control obs do alot of stuff etc. )
   https://sammi.solutions/
   https://streamer.bot/

[quartz tendon]

ah I see

for adv-ss do I just extract the file and drag + drop into OBS file?

[spare turtle]

this is what i did within sammi to like have a way to change my music source's vol ~
but here im like hard limiting it( so its like automating the visibility of a filter ) for each scene rather than volume change

but yea if you really want to~ you could try out sammi method or like even adv-ss ( i havent tried to make it in there but yea its possible)

[spare turtle]

yea just like how you install obs plugins~ drag and drop to obs-studio folder

[quartz tendon]

that looks really complicated for an action as simple as adjusting volume

[spare turtle]

yea it is.. if you're new to it, its like a different world of pein. more like learning a coding language kinda~ but the more you use it and learn and get used to it~ you can create alot of stuff .w. ( even me stiill dont undestand this software fully but yea im able to do basic stuff for now xD )

[quartz tendon]

this where I drag and drop right? Just wanna be sure

[spare turtle]

ah no no~ that's a shortcut to obs on your start menu~
so right click and open file location to see the actual location where yu installed obs-

default location would be C:\Program Files\obs-studio\

[quartz tendon]

neat

👍 ?

[spare turtle]

yup here! so just drag and drop the files here ( remember if you're installing obs plugins via .zip then it files add to data and obs-plugins folder~)
same thingy if you want to uninstall it~ find the plugin from within those 2 folders and delete it~)

if you want you could try the .exe version of adv-ss~ it automatically installs the plugin ( hence it adds to those folder~ ) when yu use the uninstaller ( it removes the plugin files from those folder)

[quartz tendon]

neat, and how do I open it in OBS?

[spare turtle]

obs studio > tools > advanced scene switcher

so i tried doing it in adv-ss~ so this is what you needa do
make a macro~
add if Scene
then current scene is - ( choose whatever scene you like for the audio change to happen )

now in the bottom part
it should be audio
set source volume then choose your audio source , and the volume of the source for that specific scene

this is one way to do it~

[spare turtle]

but yea you needa make a new macro for different scenes ig~ but yea ig its also possible to do it within just 1 macro~

try playing around with it~ and see which suits for you.

[quartz tendon]

do I have to apply it to anything or does the macro automatically apply once created?

[spare turtle]

make sure the plugin is active~ so it works~ so yea it would work automatically if its active

try switching to the scene you setted up the macros for~ and see if it changes the volume or not~

[quartz tendon]

it works. Very cool

now I'll just have to experiment with volumes

[spare turtle]

to know if its actually working~ you would see green flashes on both top part and bottom part~ ( this shows the plugin is actively checking for conditions and applying the change) ( you can change the time when it checks from within general tab~)

[quartz tendon]

I can see that its changing the values just by switching the scene

[spare turtle]

oh yea if you wish to learn more of this plugin there's a wiki for it - https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki

[unreal jay]

Can anyone tell me if there is any plugin that makes my obs stay in the background or how to leave the obs in the background?

[obsidian agate]

Minimize it? Or is there more context to this question?

[unreal jay]

Do not minimize it, but leave it in the background. No tabs open.

[vale vine]

Minimize to tray?

Not sure exactly what you are asking or why

[unreal jay]

.

[vale vine]

And that isn't making sense

[obsidian agate]

OBS doesnt have “tabs” either

[vale vine]

Geeez rob, no need to get passover aggressive on me

Really phone? Passive to passover?

[unreal jay]

Follow this example. I wanted to leave it like that!

[vale vine]

Minimized to tray?

[unreal jay]

yes, I expressed myself badly.

[obsidian agate]

Ahh, so by “tabs” you meant you didnt want it appearing in the Task Bar

Gotcha

[mortal harbor]

@weak escarp sorry for the ping, for the dir media plugin, can it be modified to work with browser sources too ?

[weak escarp]

you want to load the media files in the browse source?

[mortal harbor]

Yes, when the local file option is checked and I also can't seem to make it work with the async image source plugin from yorvex

Currently the image source in obs is causing missed and skipped frames so I'm thinking of switching to browser source and the async image source instead

[weak escarp]

it would require some changes to the plugin, but it is possible to make

[errant horizon]

I tried to build plugin template, but got cmake error:```

I am recording video and audio from my Nintendo Switch using a capture card and connected that to the OBS thing.
Is there a way to have the audio being recorded in the audio mixer be played (in real time) to my computer so I can hear it? If so, how would I do that

[oblique yew]

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.

Hi all, I hope that I am posting this in the right are if not my apologies. So this is the first time posting, I am getting lost in the vast amount of knowledge.

I am looking to set up a few things in OBS and need some advice on the "essential" plugin's/ add-on's/ tools. I have the basics of the streaming setup done (bit rate, etc.) but additional things I have no idea the main thing I am finding out about is StreamLabs is this a good option?

[regal breach]

You only use plugins when you need their functionality. What functionality are you looking for?

!plugins you could also browse here

[oblique yew]

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

I've written a simple "hard mix" shader to use with Exeldro's fork of OBS shaderfilter. It works fine but I am getting this error message in the Log Viewer effect_setval_inline: invalid param. This is the shader code, can anyone spot anything I have done wrong?

`uniform texture2d other_image;

float4 hard_mix(float4 base, float4 blend) {
float4 result;
result.rgb = (base.rgb + blend.rgb < 1.0) ? 0.0 : 1.0;
result.a = base.a;
return result;
}

float4 mainImage(VertData v_in) : TARGET

{
float4 color = image.Sample(textureSampler, v_in.uv);
float4 maskColor = other_image.Sample(textureSampler, v_in.uv);
return hard_mix(color, maskColor);
}`

i need to change my mic to go to virtual audio cable to connect to teams

i have set up my mic and sound card to record my guitar but now i need it to connect to teams and so i found out i need a plugin called "audio monitor" which allows you to add a filter on your audio input to change the way it outputs but i DON'T KNOW how to install plugins

[hard jay]

If you already have a virtual audio device to send the output to, then just change the monitoring device to that.

You don't need third party plugins for it.

If the plugin is adding some specific functionality, it might be useful to link it so we know which one you're talking about.

that doesn't exactly change the output

anyway i just noticed my vaudiocable for some reason did this

input in outputs and output in input devices

im on windows 11 maybe that's messing with it

thanks anyway

Ok i reinstalled it and it's actually fine

cuz ye for some reason

[obsidian agate]

thats how they are supposed to look

[inner bridge]

ye

but how do i connect my mic to them in obs

and than use it in teams

[spiral ruin]

Looks like the Cable is disabled in the Windows Sound properties window.

Unless that's fixed now

not now

i reinstalled them

than it makes sense

the plugin isn't running in that log session, and the plugin version you downloaded may not be compatible with OBS 27. Most plugins had to be updated once OBS 28 was released

cuz the file structure of the plugin is wierd

and i thought why doesn;t it line up with obs'

thanks!

i even wanted to reinstall obs, but there was a unistaller in here that was for plugin and i clicked it and forgot what i came for lol

Now it's fancy

got it

Where is the edit menu

Nevermind. Found it

Nope. I didnt find the edit menu...

[heady nebula]

Is this the menu the bot is talking about or not

[vale vine]

Edit toolbar at top of obs main window

@heady nebula

[heady nebula]

ah.
But it leads to the same menu as this

whcih setting do I select if I want to listen to the audio being input from another audio output?

[vale vine]

There are multiple ways to get to the advanced audio properties

[heady nebula]

as in, I am recording clips of a nintendo switch, I have the swithc connected and working for video. but I am not getting any output from it after setting it to "moniter and output". not in the recorded clip either

[vale vine]

Does the audio meter in obs for the switch source move or not?

[heady nebula]

In the audio mixer? No and thats the issue

I am able to use my mic just fine on my headset too. but that worked automatically...

Then you should hop into #audio-support and provide those details as well as a log

[fluid quail]

Hi all,
I am using OBS for a while now and really appreciate the great work all of you are doing here ... much appreciated 🙂
What I am wondering about is how it is ensured that plugins aren't able to harm our computers ... is it possible that they come along with malware / spyware or similar ?
Are plugins checked security wise before being given to us ?
Hopefully I am in the right channel with my question ?

[thorny hearth]

hello

[fossil wyvern]

An OBS plugin could definitively have some malware in it.
As such, you should act towards installing plugins in the same way you'd act towards installing anything on your computer : only install things from trusted sources.

Now, any plugin that is listed in the "resources" section of the OBS forum has to go through a vetting process from the OBS team before appearing there, which in my opinion is enough to make the forum's resource section a trusted source for plugins.

[fluid quail]

Many thanks for your feedback ... this helps a lot 🙂

yep, extract it to the obs-studio root folder

restart obs again after and post a new log

i tend to install all of my plugins via zip. ive run into issues in the past with some installers. plus i run all Portable Installs at this point, and some installers dont ask for a directory to install to

it worked

fair enough, thanks so much for the help

welcome 🙂 glad its sorted out

[queen haven]

can some one help me with me game capture because when i try to streem fortnite it do not pop up on my obs is just shows a black screen and when i use dislay cature is shows it but there is a yellow out line on my monitor and it is iratating if some on e coule help me that would be nice

[oblique yew]

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

[queen haven]

how to get the yellow out line on desplaye cature off

[spiral ruin]

!yellowborder
Upgrade to Windows 11 or use game capture

[oblique yew]

When using a Display Capture or Window Capture source with the "Windows 10 (1903 and up)" method, you will have a yellow border surrounding the portion of the screen being captured. Unfortunately, this border cannot currently be removed on Windows 10.

You can try using another capture method in the source properties, but it's possible this will instead produce a black screen. We automatically disable the yellow border on Windows 11 as Microsoft allows us to.

It is only visible to you, and it will not show up on stream or in recordings.

[glacial haven]

there is no check on version updates of an existing plugin though - if in doubt the plugins are all open source, so it's the decision between trusting people (and maybe check whether they have already build up a good rep with their releases) or in worst case check the source code and compile yourself, or ask someone you trust to do it for you

[dusky basin]

do you use RTSS (which comes with msi afterburner)?

if so, try quitting that

I had that same issue with fortnite

[thorny mortar]

Does anyone happen to know where the input overlay plugin writes its gamepad binds configs on Windows? I need the edit the file manually because the config menu is constantly reading minute changes in the analog stick values as inputs, making it impossible to actually bind things.

[fossil wyvern]

yes, that's absolutely fair, it would be perfectly possible to introduce a malware after said vetting process.
That's why I stated the resources is a trusted source in my opinion because personally I think the likelihood low enough that I still trust things that are on there.
But that is my opinion, and needn't necessarily be other people's. Wanting the source to be systematically checked, is also perfectly valid.

[crisp hollow]

is there a plug-in for elgato screen link?

[fossil wyvern]

a plugin that'd do what

[crisp hollow]

like it would allow obs to work with elgato screen link, since the site says it can work with obs

[fossil wyvern]

well, it works with obs, no plugin needed for that

just capture the 4k utility

[crisp hollow]

how do i do that? cause i tried it and it didn’t work

[fossil wyvern]

does the phone appear in the 4K utility?

[crisp hollow]

i think?

do you or do you not see the video from your phone in the 4k utility?

[fossil wyvern]

dumbass site

select hd 60 X and it'll propose you said 4K utility for download

thats dumb

ok i got it, now what

[fossil wyvern]

now you follow the rest of the guide

[crisp hollow]

its really laggy and slow

also how will this get into obs?

by capturing it

[crisp hollow]

well, it works, but it told my my wifi connection was too low to get a clear signal

[thorny mortar]

Oh! Anomalous behavior! Lovely. 🙃
I didn't change the coordinates. You can see the BackTexture and ZL coordinates are both still 0,0 and yet the background has moved one pixel down and to the right. For reasons.

this is usually just them having two copies of the capture source, and then cropping/zooming on one.

Hi, I'm tottally new here, and I'd thank a lot some help for an artistic project.

I'm trying to create a kind of continuous slide show using the images generated in real time on a midjourney channel

So far, I've been asking chatGPT and I arrived here. I managed to create a live event in youtube throught OBS, using as a font the midjourney channel. The problem is that I just want to see the images, and I don't know how to discriminate them...

Besides, I'm loosing quality, probably because I cropped the screen...

Thanks a looooooot!!!

[sullen hollow]

Hello! quick question: is the newest StreamFX plugin ready for OBS 28 yet? without paying. LOL

[wary escarp]

No, only the paid beta

[sullen hollow]

ok TY !!!!

[wary escarp]

However, most functionality can be achieved with other plugins

What are you looking for?

[sullen hollow]

well last time i upgraded to obs 28 i lost alot of my fun filters and such and really screwed things up. So I will just wait, no rush for me

[sullen hollow]

I have another question, is there a plugin that can grab music info that plays thru your obs in an audio channel? I'm not talking about spotify or any music website source and i can display it?

[proven fox]

hey does anybody know any plugins that can put now playing data in windows as data as an obs element?

[sullen hollow]

like this? https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/now-playing.1160/

[halcyon needle]

can some one help me

[proven fox]

o yeah, except that I'd prefer if it could show the album cover as well

[sullen hollow]

yea that is kind of the same question I'm asking. LOL

are you using spotify or any particular website?

[proven fox]

the latter

im listening things through funkwhale so i suppose it would only work with grabbing the windows playback data or smth

[sullen hollow]

have you tried Tuna obs plugin?

[proven fox]

no not yet, thanks for the suggestion

[sullen hollow]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/tuna.843/

[proven fox]

[sullen hollow]

might work

NP

[proven fox]

yep it works fine, only thing is that when I turn off the player the cover sets to a chrome logo fsr

i wonder if i can get rid of that somehow

[sullen hollow]

or you can set up a move plugin to move it off screen when you turn it off? I'm not sure

[proven fox]

🤔

[sullen hollow]

I'm still waitng for someone to help me. LOL

[proven fox]

oh nvm i found the placeholder png

[sullen hollow]

Nice !

[proven fox]

also sorry i have no idea how to help you oof

[sullen hollow]

AG, just happy to help someone else, spread the knowledge

[proven fox]

:D

[sullen hollow]

is there any plugin out there that will help display song info on stream that is not spotify or any website but pulls straight from an audio source?

[lament leaf]

Tuna is a plugin for OBS that can read Spotify, YT, etc. SMG Music Display is another (though not really a plugin, just a lightweight program you pay once for). I believe there is a "Current Song" thing on github somewhere that you have to setup manually but it is free. I guess it depends on how you define pulling from an audio source, since a couple of these writes to a text file and then reads the file to display.

[sullen hollow]

@lament leaf so I basically mix music on 1 pc and stream from another. The mixed audio will come in as an audio source it self. I'm not hooked up with spotify or any other website

I will check out SMG display and current song. Anything else that hits you let me know. TY

[lament leaf]

Hmm, ok. I see what you mean, those are the ones I know of. However maybe someone else will know of a few more. I hope things work out.
Again though, SMG is paid so you can always ask the Dev on Twitter if it supports such things.

[sullen hollow]

ok thanks again

[spiral ruin]

You have to think of what you want to do in these terms:
What app is playing these music files?

[sullen hollow]

the app is on another pc

[spiral ruin]

And does it have a way to display or report the file meta data to another app

[sullen hollow]

it's coming into stream pc as an audio source

[sullen hollow]

nope

[spiral ruin]

Right, but the audio source itself doesn't have the meta data. That's the bridge your are looking for.

So the consideration is, not so much the audio source, but the file source where the meta is located.

That's why apps like Tuna work the way they do. They connect to the app that is the player

[sullen hollow]

yea thats the case if there is not a tool out there that works like shazaam

wasn't sure thats why I'm asking about it

[spiral ruin]

What is the dj mixing app you use?

[sullen hollow]

serato

I use the extension now but wasn't sure if there was something better out there

[spiral ruin]

I would check with that developer/community, to see if they have solutions that work for OBS.

[sullen hollow]

ok TY

[mortal harbor]

https://github.com/nockscitney/SeratoNowPlaying

[sullen hollow]

@mortal harbor Ty but I think this can only be used if the stream pc and the mixing pc are one in the same

[mortal harbor]

it writes to a text file to be read so you could easily put the text file in a onedrive folder or something that both PCs could access. i normally don't recommend cloud storage for this type of stuff but given the file size being tiny i think its okay.

[sullen hollow]

TY so much, my mind is going. LOL

[ornate locust]

So Source record will only record what ever I put the Source Record filter on, it also sometimes doesn't take OBS out fo the recording state after recording is finished, even though I put Source Records, record setting onto "record", it then pops out a final product after I close OBS or it crashes

any tips?

it also spits out one audio file

[sly oriole]

This is a dumb question but how do you get the plugin template to compile on windows? I am getting the following error:

  of the following names:

    libobsConfig.cmake
    libobs-config.cmake```
I'm not sure what directory it wants libobs_DIR to be. I have the source code downloaded.

I don't wanna bug, and I hate to @, but for now, since the feature isn't made and Source Record isn't exactly stable, would you recommend using OBS for gameplay + Windows Built in Camera app until something better gets built. sorry if this counts as a random @

[hard jay]

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here.

[ornate locust]

Since there isn't a real robust way to record both gameplay and camera with one OBS client alone, and Source Record is really unstable, would it be recommended to use Windows built in Camera to record my webcam and have OBS open at the same time, or would that cause issues for OBS?

(I'm looking to have two different MP4s for Camera and Gameplay)

[hard jay]

I don't use the camera app, so I don't know.

If it works for you, no reason not to.

There's not one correct solutions.

[ornate locust]

I was worried about causing OBS issues having two recorders opened at the same time, my recording got corrupted because of two OBS'es recently, and wanted to find a better solution

Thank you.

[high gazelle]

What did i do

[hard jay]

@high gazelle This is the plugins and tools channel, not solicitation for work, which is even further just against the server rules.

We don't allow advertising or solicitation here.

[high gazelle]

I aint advertising

[hard jay]

Solicitation is also against our rules. If you want help, I recommend looking up something like upwork or fiverr to hire someone.

If you're just looking for guidance or have questions on how to set up OBS, try the support channels.

Thanks for understanding!

[ornate locust]

Also, btw, you seem nice, just wanted to say that, thanks for the help!

I'm trying to build a plugin from the plugin template on windows using Clion. I'm getting the following errors: ```but it set libobs_FOUND to FALSE so package "libobs" is considered to be
NOT FOUND. Reason given by package:

The following imported targets are referenced, but are missing:
OBS::w32-pthreads
I'm using the following commands to compile:-Dlibobs_DIR="......\Documents\pythonProjects\obs-studio\build64\libobs"
-Dw32-pthreads_DIR="....\Documents\pythonProjects\obs-studio\deps\w32-pthreads"

[regal breach]

change the build spec to obs 28.0.3 rather than 28.0.1

[sly oriole]

is that as simple as change version in buildspec.json to this? "obs-studio": { "version": "28.0.3", "repository": "https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git", "branch": "master", "hash": "e8dc70d0eef4503378d6ac300e680215eb5c9379" },
I'm getting the same error.

[regal breach]

did you change the hash?

[sly oriole]

no should I?

[regal breach]

yes, it should correspond to the version you put in

[sly oriole]

I set the hash to 132f0b8...etc which is the master build that I downloaded and built today. Still same error. I also tried the release 29.1 and its hash

[regal breach]

well it's only step 1

because there's a bug with 28.0.2 and below with the pthreads

next open the folder of the plugin template

then in the address bar of file explorer, type in pwsh

then there should be build-Windows.ps1 in either .github or CI, run that in the powershell

[sly oriole]

okay I ran that what's the next step?

[regal breach]

it should create a build64 or build-x64 folder

open that and it should have a .sln named after your plugin. open it

you can build with visual studio then

[sly oriole]

Thanks I think I got it to build. Is there a streamlined way to develop the plugin without having to manually copy the plugin's dll over everytime you make a change?

[regal breach]

i just make a symbolic link of the dlls using https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html (the feature is built in windows, but is a hassle to enable and to type in cmd)

the other way is to add the command in the cmake (which i can't instruct), but i dislike it since the cmake is git tracked, so changes to it will get uploaded (and wouldn't be compatible for those who download the repo

[gaunt zealot]

@ornate locust Source Record is a reliable, widely popular plugin people use every day. If you're having issues with Source Record it's very likely a convination of old plugin version and/or AMD GPU encoder settings and/or high FPS. We can get things like video encoders bombing out taken care of over in relevant support channels like #windows-support

[gusty briar]

@weak escarp i want move a source with my face, but i dont want my face in that scene. Is this possible?

with the move-transition plugin of course

[vale vine]

Put the source of your face in the scene but low enough in source list so it's covered by everything else in scene?

[oblique gate]

Found a funny with the source record plugin. Deleted a single instance source with the plugin set to record on record. Went to addin a new similar type source and the previously removed showed up as an existing source, but could not be added back in. What's more it made phantom recordings (but not of the original source to which it was applied) when the main recording was started. This behaviour survived OBS and PCreboots.

The only way to get rid of it was delete the filter from the source before deleting the source.

[fossil wyvern]

probably a source reference that's not being released correctly.
Might be worth signaling on its github

[gusty briar]

this dont work. My face must be visible. But i try to put my face out of the screen.

No. Dont work. Face must be visible

[gusty briar]

It works with a workaround. I put a difference of -1400 and the factor to 200%. Than i crop the scene in another scene.

[stable pilot]

i cant seem to get the move transition to work again after setting it up on a new pc? i use obs 29.0.2 and i installed the transition table and move transition and the move transition just isn't showing up

[storm stirrup]

does anyone know of a plugin for obs that does timelapse recording, i mean along with you streaming, similar to the source recording plugins so you can have a 2nd recording happening at the same time?

[obsidian agate]

A timelapse recording, as in taking a frame per minute or something like that?

[spiral ruin]

Isn't there a screenshot feature within OBS? Maybe something with Adv Scene Switcher or a script to take a snapshot every x minute. Although, timelapse of a fast action stream is not the same as timelapse photography, in its results.

[storm stirrup]

maybe, i know you can use some ffmpeg coding to do it but that becomes the primary recording

use case is makers and crafting, stream live/record for youtube post/'press a button to start a timelapse for a teaser clip for other socials', can of course all be done in post but

and, i know obs can( if your computer can) record seperate sources along with the main output so thought maybe someone had done something like that already. didnt think of adv scene switcher, though i should have, such a goooooood plugin i use for many things already

[ornate locust]

@fossil wyvern so when I record, and have source record activated (on the record setting) it only records through source record?

[fossil wyvern]

no, if you press record in obs controls that records as normal, and the source filter records on its own depending on how you set it

[ornate locust]

the problem I'm having is that OBS isn't recording on its own and it only records Source Record, spesifically on the record setting.

[oblique yew]

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file from a fresh launch of OBS Studio containing an output session. Follow these instructions to upload a clean log file:

1. Restart OBS Studio first
2. Start your stream/recording replicating any issues (meaning having any games/apps open and captured, etc.)
3. Stop your stream/recording after 30 seconds or after the issue has occurred
4. Click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File

[abstract bane]

Random thing I noticed today in case anyone ever encounters it. Apparently if you have a chroma key filter above a 3D effect filter it will make your chroma key not work very well (almost shows as like a gray color). This can be fixed by moving the chroma key filter below the 3D effect filter

[minor knoll]

i cant get the captions to show

[fossil wyvern]

do you want them to show as a text directly on the video, or as embedded on twitch's player?

[minor knoll]

i dont stream i only want it for my videos

[fossil wyvern]

in the plugin's settings, in the "open captions" tab, click on "add text output" and select a text source

Any animated shader/effect plugins that work and aren't streamFX?

[obsidian agate]

exeldro's port of obs-shaderfilter

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

[raven apex]

Looks nice, but theres no download on the page?

except if you somehow compile it yourself

[obsidian agate]

Releases tab

[raven apex]

oh gosh, github always confuses me

[obsidian agate]

and if you dont see a releases tab or any of that, try adding "releases" to the end of the URL

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

[raven apex]

exeldro shaders dont work, just doesn't render the source at all if they are on

and says "effect_setval_inline: invalid param" in the log

[obsidian agate]

works for me, i use them on my own stream

each shader plugin using their own shader formats

so shaders from one plugin will not work with the other plugins

[raven apex]

other plugins?

you mean the shaders dont work with in built OBS effects?

[obsidian agate]

StreamFX shader files dont work with obs-shaderfilter, and visa-versa. Each has their own ways of handling shaders

[raven apex]

Yeah the effects aren't working at all, even with no other effects on

[obsidian agate]

which effect are you loading? Take a screenshot of the filter properties window and post it here (the whole window)

[obsidian agate]

here I am using the VHS.shader file

this is specifically Exeldro's obs-shaderfilter plugin

[raven apex]

oh wait... seems if I untick use effect file box it works

[obsidian agate]

yeah, Use Effect File is looking for an .effect file. By default it is looking for .shader files

[ivory thicket]

Hi everyone! I recently downloaded the OBS Multistream RTMP plugin to enable multistreaming to multiple platforms. I was under the impression that the plugin would also merge the chat streams from all the platforms into one. However, despite using Streamlabs for Twitch and adding a browser source for the Streamlabs chat box, I can only see the chat for Twitch and not for platforms like YouTube and Kick. Am I missing any specific configurations or settings to enable the merging of chat streams from all platforms? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[vale vine]

That plugin does indeed not merge chats, just allows you to, as the name implies, stream to multiple rtmp ingests

Might look at a chat dock or something from the likes of restream.io

Though very few are probably supporting kick(and for good reason imo)

[vapid charm]

@ivory thicket https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream

Not sure about kick though

Given they still don't have a public API.

[vale vine]

Kick is listed in the long ass list there

[vapid charm]

Yeah. Went to commit history and saw it there.

So that's what you want.

[ivory thicket]

thank you @vale vine and @vapid charm

[white wave]

is it possible to run Exeldro's new move transition update with no RTX card? my specs are: Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz / 16GB RAM / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060

[raven apex]

Wowzers, GTX 1060 😄 I have one of those way back in the day

[white wave]

lol. yeah its an old one, a hand me down actually

[obsidian agate]

No, it needs an RTX card specifically

[white wave]

damn, ok thank you!

[sturdy crest]

what's that obs plugin to hide desktop icons?

[obsidian agate]

none that I know of. if you are using Windows, you can just hide the desktop icons as part of the Desktop settings themselves

[sturdy crest]

do you know anything that could prevent obs from capturing my alt tab previews while using display capture?

oh yeah found it https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/hide-desktop-icons-while-streaming.1675/

[obsidian agate]

huh, interesting. guess it just toggles the same option that i was talking about

Latest update causing stuttering while using OpenVR plug in. Anyone else noticing this issue? It was buttery smooth a month ago for me.

[mortal harbor]

I thought that plugin has been causing issues and been unsupported for ages now?

[burnt jacinth]

Only issue I ever heard of was slight memory leak if you had it enabled but not steamVR. Which I never did.

Hasnt been updated since August 2020 from the looks of it

idk where im supposed to ask this

but whenever im trying to convert to mp3

it doesnt work
