I got up to 99

[obsidian agate]

!virtualcamremove if it is not appearing there, follow these instructions, but use the Installer BAT file instead of the Uninstaller one.

Make sure OBS is closed before doing this

[oblique yew]

To uninstall VirtualCam on Windows:

1. Navigate to: C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\win-dshow
2. Right click virtualcam-uninstall.bat, and Run as Administrator.

If you have OBS installed in a different directory (or in portable mode), right click your OBS shortcut and choose "Open file location" to track down the location of the obs-studio directory.

[lucid thicket]

Okay so I have a consistent way to capture the healthbar

[fossil wyvern]

don't get too high because the color of that bit of the UI might actually change with game situations.
try doing a real test while moving in-game and shit

[lucid thicket]

I was just jumping around

didnt lose anything

I made it pixel perfect with alpha map

[fossil wyvern]

also try going in a darker area

[lucid thicket]

I cut out the pixel layer in the middle that was transparent

[fossil wyvern]

👍

[lucid thicket]

that black part is actually consistent dont worry

[timid jacinth]

I mean un install it and re install it?

[obsidian agate]

no, just run the installer. I ran the Removal command so you can see where to find the installer BAT file (its in the same place the uninstaller is located)

[fossil wyvern]

now if I understand, there's a second concern which is that the medallion part won't show when you're in in-game menus?

[lucid thicket]

actually no

the medalian isnt too important imo

I did have one thing I noticed though

it only happened twice but during a fade to black on this intro cutscene, it picked up two patterns

I'll see if I can reproduce it

[fossil wyvern]

you're sure? because it's perfectly doable to have a logic that's
-when there's medallion + health bar, show both
-when only medallion, show only medallion
-when there is neither hide everything

[fossil wyvern]

oh yee it might match when everything is black

[timid jacinth]

ok I run the installer but, now?

[lucid thicket]

Looking at it like this:

This is a centered 16:9 of the ultrawide, the scenario in question

if the healthbar is showing, I can fade in the medallion (with the health bar)

if the healthbar isnt showing, then it just looks clean

[fossil wyvern]

👍

[lucid thicket]

that said, now I need to get the uhh

macro part itself working

and yeah

its picking up little things like this

(i tried to just screenshot it, it wouldve highlighted this entire area in red)

[fossil wyvern]

alright, so the action you want to be doing isn't actually "scene enable" but "scene item visibility"

[lucid thicket]

I personally dont think that'd be a huge deal though

[obsidian agate]

re open OBS. Quit and reopen Skype and see if the "OBS Virtual Camera" is available

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, when everything is black, not much will show, by definition

[lucid thicket]

(B) is my mask layer

does this look right?

[fossil wyvern]

yup, check "perform action only on condition change"

and now you'll need a second macro to hide it when not showing, which is the exact same, but with "If not" instead of "If" and "hide" instead of "show"

[lucid thicket]

I'll have to set some of this up again when I actually get the ultra-wide but give me a moment and I'll see how this is working

[lucid thicket]

The macro seems to work

It's not a very graceful change but it works

any chance I can eliminate that brief period of black screen causing that problem?

[fossil wyvern]

what problem exactly?

[lucid thicket]

Oh the brief 300ms period of like, a small pattern being picked up on black screen

why does the black screen do that, for example?

[fossil wyvern]

because your pattern is basically four black bars.
So when the whole screen is black, it matches it

[lucid thicket]

Well, they've got some grey texture to them admittedly

but I see what you mean

[fossil wyvern]

if you want smth more graceful, try putting a fade show/hide transition on it

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, but you're not matching 100% exactly, so the difference is apparently not enough to matter

[lucid thicket]

How do I do that?

With sources*

[fossil wyvern]

if the rim of the medallion is unchanging, you can try adding the white parts of it to the match, that will likely stop it from matching on a fully black screen

[lucid thicket]

Good idea

[fossil wyvern]

right click it in the source list > show transition

[lucid thicket]

Oh that's good, thank you

[lucid thicket]

this still gets picked up on black screens

so I guess its unavoidable

but thats okay

[fossil wyvern]

eh, I'll try to think if there is a better way but might not

[lucid thicket]

it doesnt seem to pick up every time though

so its at least more accurate

[fossil wyvern]

good

could try putting a bit more of the rim, but eh

[lucid thicket]

well those badges arent cropped very well sometimes

I figured that out last time I tried to do this alpha mask stuff (gave up last time)

so like, the grey one might overlap more than the blue one

so I was trying to be careful

[fossil wyvern]

alternatively what you could do is add a second condition for "if not" matching a full black pattern

that way, it'll only act when it picks up the bars pattern and it's not all black

[lucid thicket]

I think it should be okay, there isnt many hard fades to black

anyway @fossil wyvern the only thing left is to make a really nice uhhh

alpha mask

[fossil wyvern]

👍

if you don't have a good video editing program, I can recommend GIMP

[lucid thicket]

I use paint.net, it's pretty good

[fossil wyvern]

yup also good

[lucid thicket]

You mentioned not using anything but full black and white

but I can probably use a grey on the edges

to feather it

[fossil wyvern]

my advice is to feather the selection then fill it with pure white

that way the feathering is done automatically rather than manually

but yee

basically greyscale = alpha

[lucid thicket]

@fossil wyvern @mortal harbor

I did have a new question though after all this

[fossil wyvern]

looks p good to me

[lucid thicket]

how much impact does the "check condition" setting effect

there is a bit of latency on the startup of this trigger

but the fade out is pretty on point

[fossil wyvern]

"check condition every X ms"?

[lucid thicket]

yeah

I figure this increases the CPU load

[fossil wyvern]

are you sure the latency isn't from the transition?

[lucid thicket]

ill do one more with it turned off

[fossil wyvern]

also show me how you set both macro conditions

[lucid thicket]

I guess that transition does increase latency a bit, yeah

that said

still some

[fossil wyvern]

yee, show me the macros?

[fossil wyvern]

ok, that's weird, I don't see any reason it would behave differently

[lucid thicket]

I think it's just the transition making it appear a bit slower

[fossil wyvern]

if you manually trigger them, by clicking on the "run macro" button, is the latency still there?

[lucid thicket]

No

[sonic python]

что мне делать с этой ошибкой?

[fossil wyvern]

hmm, so the latency IS from the trigger then

[lucid thicket]

If I had to guess, I would say

It's probably the fade-in of the bar itself

the actual UI element

[fossil wyvern]

check if checking "run macro in parallel" changes anything

[fossil wyvern]

oh yee possibly

[lucid thicket]

reduced the check interval to 100ms and lowered the tolerance to 95 from 99.3%

yeah honestly, it doesnt matter too much

I think it's okay

[fossil wyvern]

yee 100ms is still, like every 6 frames

if you want try reducing check interval to 16 ms for it to be every frame, check if that changes anything

(and if it's not too heavy on your system, but I don't think so you're actually checking very little pixels)

[lucid thicket]

transitions are back on but

[lucid thicket]

with them off

Oh it didnt actually even save 16

[fossil wyvern]

oh

[fossil wyvern]

oh yeah, the check interval's minimum is 50ms

[mortal harbor]

nice work

i imagine you probably spent a lot of time on this, slowly tweaking until it was right. pretty satisfying when you're finished.

[lucid thicket]

The alpha mask took me quite a long time, yeah

So many little stray pixels

Thanks for all the help

[keen fog]

Also thanks for talking through the process, I have a quick mockup for some of these on my own setup now

[mortal harbor]

ive been sitting here working on a project for work doing the same thing for about 7 hours so your experience is very relatable 😄

[fossil wyvern]

I'm still surprised it takes so long to show up, that's roughly 4~5 adv-ss cycles of delay

maybe try reducing the threshold?

[mortal harbor]

in the last video sent it showed up as soon as they were swinging, am i missing something?

[fossil wyvern]

delay between when the tip of the HP bar appears on the left of the screen (UI appears in-game) and when the full bar with the lion medallion pops up (adv-ss detected it and is showing the other source)

[lucid thicket]

Threshold?

[keen fog]

looks like it might be the condition check frequency

[mortal harbor]

it isn't the threshold that is delaying it

if you have already checked reduce matching latency, i don't think there is a way to improve this without actually making source code changes to adv-ss

if the threshold was too high, it wouldn't trigger at all.

[keen fog]

in general, condition checking under 100ms appears to miss matches fairly consistently

[fossil wyvern]

on the last video it takes roughly 20 or so frames between the moment the tip stops being semi-transparent and when adv-ss sees it, but adv-ss is on a 50ms cycle which is 6 frames

[fossil wyvern]

issue is caused by the fact the UI is fading in. lower threshold would mean matching it earlier in the fade in

[mortal harbor]

always worth trying. my experience with this is the same as what Krisiries described. i use pattern matching to detect which screen i am on in-game to know transition between me chatting scene and in-game scene.

[fossil wyvern]

(but tbh this looks pretty damn good already am just a fuckwad of a perfectionist)

[lucid thicket]

Me too usually

but the only way to make it detect faster would probably be to change the sensitivity

which would potentially start causing false positivies

[fossil wyvern]

yee

[lucid thicket]

I've also replaced all my duplicate sources with Source Clones

which I hope will reduce the strain on my system

thanks for that by the way

[ebon smelt]

Fellas, is there a plugin that follows object? Such as person walking on stage (similar to face tracker)

If anyone knows anything about DeckLink Duo support, is there any way to have multiple program outs with OBS and the Duo?

[floral yoke]

great u managed to get it done 🙂

tested this yesterday, yours looks clean

[lucid thicket]

Hi

[pliant gate]

Hi, how long does it take to approve my plugin? Thanks in advance

[glacial haven]

there is no guaranteed timelines, it just depends on how much workload and time the approvers have and therefore varies. not staff, I can only say from my own experience that it has taken a few days in some cases and 2-3 weeks in others, just be patient 😉

[modest rose]

Looking for someone familiar with the shader plugin , as I'm struggling!

Is this the right place to ask "How do I get X plugin working" ?

[frank wind]

Anyone know of a discord plugin for OBS that can create separate audio tracks for each person in chat? I feel like I have heard of this but can't for the life of me remember where.

[half frigate]

does anyone know how to start debugging advanced scene switcher log: [adv-ss] detected busy loop - refusing to sleep less than 1ms?

this is probably due to macros yes? so I just disable all macros then start enabling one by one? Also when is it good to use "run macro in parallel to other macros"?

[spiral ruin]

Doesn't exist, because Discord does not separate each member's audio in chat. Although you can control each member individually in Discord (volume/mute), the output you hear from Discord chat is only one source.

[modest rose]

@weak escarp - Currently struggling to get a blur working in obs-shaderfilter -Are you able to tell me which of the several example files are in a currently working state ?

[obsidian agate]

have you tried the stand-along Blur plugin?

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

[spiral ruin]

If you want that kind of control over each source in a group, consider vdo.ninja for your group work.

[modest rose]

No Rob - I just figured seeing as how I was already using shaderfilter and it has a "Gaussian Simple" example, that it should... work.

But it appears tonot.

[obsidian agate]

the stand-along blur-filter that I linked is just the StreamFX one made into its own plugin, separate from the rest of SFX. it has a ton of options and blur types

[modest rose]

Appreciate that, but i'm on an itch-scratching endeavour as to why on earth the included gaussian shader is dead, Jim.

On another shader nothing displays until I specify Extra Pixels that match the viewport size.

But that doesn't seem to influence the blur shader

(Which I imagine might actually need that, wheras the other shader does not)

[obsidian agate]

not sure, i stopped using Shaders for blur filters, as the blur-filter plugin performs better in many cases

[modest rose]

Mmm, well, I used to do it by applying a scale filter down to 128px

Then scaling with bilinear back to 2560px

I might go back to that approach

[obsidian agate]

yep, thats one trick to use. I used to use StreamFX's "3D Transform" for that, but now I use the scaling feature of Exeldro's "Source Clone" (which is an alternative to SFX's "Source Mirror")

[modest rose]

Do you think the scaling trick is more or less performant ?

[obsidian agate]

more. Blurring a 100x100 source uses far less resources than a 500x500 source.

scale down, blur, scale up.

Source Clone has built-in scaling for 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4

Apply a blur to that, then just natively scale up in the OBS interface

the usual suggestion before Source Clone was...

"3D Transform" Filter -> Zoom out the source so it is smaller
"Blur" filter -> Dual Filtering blur
"3D Transform" Filter -> ZOom in the source so it is normal size again

It wont be as perfectly clean as a native res blur, but it will use WAY less resources, you can do more of them more often potentially, and most people wont really notice the quality difference anyway

with StreamFX behind a paywall for the binaries these days, alternatives are available and work pretty well

[mossy lintel]

Does anyone know if following is plugin issue or Kick behaviour or something beyond? I streamed same time to Twitch and Kick using Multi-RTMP plugin. In OBS settings I have all set up for Twitch and into plugin I added Kick url and key. Everything else like bitrate, encoder etc I left to pick from OBS. Now after downloading VOD-s from both Twitch and Kick, then Twitch bitrate is 5000kbps like is set in OBS itself but VOD from Kick only 3000kbps. Resolution of videos is same.

Honestly I recommended vdo.ninja based on your profile name. Way better than discord for tt roleplaying games, especially for streaming and recording.

@obsidian agate - Been fiddling with the gaussian shader and I've come unstuck I tnk on image.SampleLevel

:/

Way out of my depth here, so I'm not sure how to proceed without the advice of someone who understands the shader language / api

[obsidian agate]

I dont work with the shaders languages directly. I just used the premade ones that came with obs-shaderfilter

[modest rose]

Aye, I was trying to, but none of the blurs worked so I started hacking away 😄

[timid jacinth]

I found the solution for the pages that block obs virtual camera

[obsidian agate]

That plugin stopped being updated in 2017, and will more than likely not actually work with v28+

[timid jacinth]

How do I download that version bro?

[obsidian agate]

What version? Its not updated anymore

[timid jacinth]

28

[obsidian agate]

!download The current version of OBS is 29.1.1

OBS Studio can be downloaded:

• directly from the official OBS Project website: https://obsproject.com/download
• Microsoft Store (Windows)
• Steam (Windows, macOS)
• Flathub (Linux)

[oblique yew]

@timid jacinth

Need an older version of OBS? Go to https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases for OBS Studio versions back to 0.2.4

[obsidian agate]

You’ll need v24.x for that particular plugin you screen-shotted, btw, since that plugin doesnt support v25+ as stated on the page

[lucid thicket]

Alright now that I'm done streaming, I'd like some help diagnosing some issues with Tuna.

Tuna was not crashing before today, I'm not sure if something updated via OBS, Spotify or what but all of a sudden, local spotify files makes Tuna crash.

It's consistent

[regal breach]

you'd best ask the author of the plugin on the plugin page, as they will be able to debug that

[lucid thicket]

Someone on the OBS forums posted a custom version that seemed to fix it.

The file itself says it's gonna expire in 7 hours so I'm going to put it here just incase.

[regal breach]

that "someone" is the plugin author, which you should've been able to see on the plugin page

which means that fix will likely be on the next update

[lucid thicket]

Sorry, haha

I just streamed like 10 hours and had nothing to eat and before I go to make dinner, wanted to fix this issue.

I don't use forums often so I didn't realize. 🙏

[odd ingot]

I like testing software. that's compatible with obs...lol I wanna see this in action.

[mortal harbor]

GHUB is trash and the plugin has been known to cause issues for users so i would just skip it.

[odd ingot]

You don't like Ghub at all? Jeeesuz sounds like a bad marriage. All good, I'll skip the OBS process. Ghub by itself seems good, tons o features. I mean I already have the G935 headset and it works well with it and got the yeti for free.. lol Just thought I'd try it out. Thanks though.

[vale vine]

Ghub is asssssssssss

[glacial haven]

just wait a little longer for the random crashes or sudden lags in various games that you spend hours on to find the root cause for, until you realize it's caused by a software you absolutely wouldn't suspect to be the reason for it 🙂

I yeeted ghub for onboard memory manager for my g502

[odd ingot]

Can't believe you mentioned this...lol well...now I'll uninstall it and see if my system will heal itself. I am laggin in WoW and i just crashed twice in 2 days...LOLOLOL

really dude?

I'm, looking at event viewer...now I'll look for GHUIB

[light furnace]

hi, cant find streamfx plugin. there is one o Ghub but not the .exe or a dont know how to install it

some help plz

[odd ingot]

.....and FML

[glacial haven]

[odd ingot]

Start of 7 total errors!! thanks bro!! So, what's an alternative..

[vale vine]

You basically cant

Streamfx was pretty much pulled due to potential gpl violations

What exactly do you need from it? There are lots of alternatives

[glacial haven]

I don't use a logitech mouse anymore, I think when I still had one I would install GHub to set up the profiles, then uninstall GHub and just use the mouse without it

I still use a logitech headset and for this I use: https://github.com/Sapd/HeadsetControl

to at least have the battery info

[vale vine]

On board memory manager is great for logi mice

[odd ingot]

Well, I like to have a nice 7.1 surround when playing games, and use Razer for this.

[vale vine]

https://github.com/zampierilucas/HeadsetControl-SystemTray or actually this is what gives a system tray icon for the battery info

about mic I don't know, never had a logi mic

[viscid plaza]

Is there any editors for separating game audio from mic audio?, because I have some audio levels that are a bit messed up while I was recording.

[spiral ruin]

Did you record the audio to separate tracks?

[viscid plaza]

well, I don't think I did by default since I was reccording in mkv

[spiral ruin]

The recording container doesn't matter. It's whether or not you configured it in your settings.

[viscid plaza]

well if you mean having two different tracks, audio input tracks then maybe.

[velvet ridge]

I need some help

[spiral ruin]

If you set up recording to separate tracks, then you can use a video editor like DaVinci Resolve. It will see whatever tracks you recorded, and you can edit the tracks separately as needed.

[thorny talon]

sorry if it has been asked before, but has anyone been experiencing lag when using their El Gato Stream Deck, as in it can take a long time for the response of pushing the button for it to actually happen in OBS? v29.02 OBS and 6.2.0.18816 on SD... TIA

[thorny talon]

I think I just fixed it. Since experiencing this issue I had just recently bought a 12 port( I think) USB3 powered hub and moved pretty much everything I had extra to that hub, but still had another 4-port plugged in USB3. Moved stream deck to that and it worked with no lag, note: only the SD is plugged into that 4-port..

The real test will be next stream..

[glacial haven]

can confirm that the SD is very sensitive to what hub and USB port it's plugged in to, but usually you either notice the problems immediately or if it's stable, then it's stable

[mortal harbor]

Is there some sort of plugin which can basically do this with my mic audio:
So whenever the input is too loud (to the db you set) and the mic peaks it will like automatically turn down the gain so it doesn't peak
And whenever it's too quiet it turns it up to whatever level you set

Idk if that's even possible but if yeah then what would that be? And I assume it's not a default in built feature so that's why I'm asking if there is a plugin but if it's a built in feature then what's that called as well, Thanks :)

[regal breach]

Typically you'd use a compressor filter

[mortal harbor]

Ah okay, How would I go abt setting that up then?

[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.

[river laurel]

Problem detected in the PLUGIN "Visibility-timer.lua". (The source always activated by himself when you swich scenes).

PROBLEM FIXED (For me) about the PLUGIN VISIBILITY TIMER LUA.

I should modified the code inside of it because "activate(true)" is wrong, (line 180) and ("setting, "start_visible", true) is wrong too (line 187). That's why the scene started always at switching scene.

For streamers who have this issue, you should modified the code like i say

[trim bough]

Hello, I am having trouble getting my obs studio companion plugin to install on twitch soundtracks. Any idea on how to fix this?

[fossil wyvern]

easiest way to fix this is to not use it.
That plugin is not actually needed to split audio, severly outdated, removes control from the user, and as far as I know, twitch soundtrack will get discontinued soonish

[trim bough]

ahh appreciate it , any alternatives you know of ?

[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

[fossil wyvern]

don't any plugin to separate audio

[trim bough]

okay thanks !

[toxic nest]

is there a way to show the input of a controller in OBS while playing on an actual console somehow?
could also be a hardware solution, like a device that is hooked up between the controller and console
dont want to install anything on my console, not willing to mod it

[fossil wyvern]

USB controller right?

[toxic nest]

yes

Xbox 360 in my case

[fossil wyvern]

as far as I can think of, the only way to do this would be with an USB splitter, which are hardware that have to be specific to the HID to split.
SO i'd say, realistcally, probably not doable

(that's with the concept of sending the inputs of the controller to the computer as well as the console)

[glacial haven]

https://www.partsnotincluded.com/how-to-emulate-an-xbox-controller-with-arduino-xinput/ here they say:

This does not work with the 360 console. Licensed controllers use a hardware security method that has not been openly broken and this library does not replicate.

though that was 2019

still I think that most consoles would try to protect themselves from it, so unless they provide an API for it themselves you're out of luck I guess

[toxic nest]

sad
I thought there might be a good solution like a USB splitter or something like that

[fossil wyvern]

oh yeah, with a custom-built controller....

[toxic nest]

hm should work with multiple controllers, like Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS4 :/

[glacial haven]

yeah, you'd be able to get the USB signals, but interpreting them correctly is a whole different story then

[fossil wyvern]

USB splitters are a thing (actually not really, but we can have a device that acts as if it was an usb splitter) but they are device-specific

because they are basically emulating two devices

[toxic nest]

I think they need some paring through USB right?
2 signals one for the PC and one for the console could be confusiong for the controller or am I wrong?

[fossil wyvern]

pariing?

[glacial haven]

aren't console controllers wireless (bluetooth) nowadays anyway? but when you intercept the BT transmission you have the same problem, it will be encrypted

[toxic nest]

maybe a solution would be to put the controller into the PC and the PC outputs a signal through another USB slot into the console?

[glacial haven]

that would be what a raspberry/arduino based solution could do, but again, you would probably need to have some private encryption keys to be able to generate valid signals for the console

[fossil wyvern]

connecting the pc to the console through usb would also require some very specific hardware

[glacial haven]

or at least interpret them correctly

[toxic nest]

damn I thought the signals wouldn't be encrypted and it would be much more open
plus I thought the pc and console would handle it almost the same

cause there are emulators which can convert xinput from a controller to keyboard and the other way around

the easiest solution would probably be to mod the console but I don't want to do that

[glacial haven]

yep

[fossil wyvern]

even if it's not encrypted, USB works on a handshake, and can't do one handshake with two different devices

[toxic nest]

yeah thats what I meant with 'paired' 😅

[fossil wyvern]

that's why splitters are device specific.
Basically the splitter talks to the controller, and gets the info from it, and then talks to each of the hosts separately, passing as controller itself

can't just split the signal liek you'd do jack

[toxic nest]

hm then a completly new custom device would need to exist that "splits" the signals properly and interpret it correctly
damn

[fossil wyvern]

yup

[toxic nest]

I understand why they did it, to reduce the cheating on consoles

[fossil wyvern]

such splitters do exist for some specific devices (example : http://www.huintech.com/product/detail?id=1), but, it'd need to be done specifically custom for the controller. this one won't work on anything else than a barcode reader

[toxic nest]

haha okay 😄

there is a "way" to do this
connect controller to the pc and stream through the xbox app but the delay and video quality would be pretty bad

Hello Guys,
i currently trying to figure how to Change Source visibility Base on The previous Scene i Switch From.

I tried advanced scene switcher, but it keep force clsoe when i press the macro that i made.

[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/

[fossil wyvern]

^this can do it

[shy gorge]

it keep force close

[fossil wyvern]

wdym?

[shy gorge]

the OBS not responding when i press the macro that i already made

[fossil wyvern]

can you show me the macro you made?

[shy gorge]

I saw user that also the same problem with me,
but he said that he can figure it with Move Transitin.

[shy gorge]

okay wait. i just uninstalled the plugin. i will install it again

then, if i press this macros again.
it will not responding

[fossil wyvern]

when you click on the macro name?
or when you press "run macro"?

[shy gorge]

when i click the macro name

[fossil wyvern]

just in case, does it still do it if you tick "perform action only on condition change"?

[shy gorge]

it works.
i just Solve the Issue.
if I Right click the macros name. it will Okay

o w sorry

ok

[fossil wyvern]

what's the issue?

[median gazelle]

so I am trying to capture fortnite but it doesnt even when I have it open

i have it to specify on that capture but it doesn't

do you know how to fix

[hard jay]

I would recommend the dedicated support channels, as this channel is for help and questions with third-party plugins and tools, not basic OBS troubleshooting.

Assuming you're on windows, try #windows-support

[median gazelle]

kk

[median gazelle]

but can you help?

[gaunt zealot]

Even that doesn't work quite the way you think it does. It's a RS232 splitter and uses USB to RS232 controller-in-a-wire adapters for each PC. This really only works as an IR barcode scanner is effectively a one-way data sender.

[fossil wyvern]

ooh

should be able to work for a controller too, no, 360 controller should be a wone-way sender?

I mean obvs not this hardware, but a theoretical similar hardware tailored for a controller

[visual lantern]

sorry i'm korean my english so bad

[remote geyser]

Hi, my Mirror Fonts from Stream FX and some other plugins like Freeze camera, just stop working after the last update of OBS, any solutions??

[hollow stirrup]

Sometimes I recommend my plugin for audio buffering. Assuming NDI HX Camera is connected though WiFi, I’m not sure it will fix your issue completely.
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/asynchronous-audio-filter.1482/

[hazy slate]

thank you.
However, I went back to the OBS NDI plug-in.
The reason why I tried to use Screen Capture HX was because of bandwidth and video quality.

I decided not to use Screen Capture HX because of the ability to control Scene via OBS and the inability to connect the webcam (USB-A webcam) to the streaming laptop.

But thank you for your help.

[hollow stirrup]

I’m sorry I read really fast that I thought you are using the camera. Anyway Asynchronous Audio Filter might be helpful. Just install it and add the filter to your NDI source.

[hazy slate]

Does this plugin help reduce the average time required to render frames?

[hollow stirrup]

no

It will just adjust the number of received samples to avoid audio buffering becomes increased or causing glitches.

[hazy slate]

ok thank you. i'll try it!

[hazy slate]

mac os obs not running? however windows can run. but win pc is gaming. i stream from mac

This should work, though I don't have access to mac right now.
https://github.com/norihiro/obs-async-audio-filter/releases/download/0.2.1/obs-async-audio-filter-0.2.1-obs28-macos-universal.pkg

When installing, you need to choose an option like For Current User.

[hazy slate]

not running.. ㅠ_ㅠ

[hollow stirrup]

Is this Libraries?

If that's the case, the destination is wrong. OBS 28 and later won't look into that directory.

[hazy slate]

it is Library. korean

[hollow stirrup]

The right destination is Library under user's directory.

I think you need to uninstall it and reinstall with the option something like "Current User Only" is checked.

[hazy slate]

download to zip and move to apps->obs->plugins. can running

[hollow stirrup]

I'm glad to hear that. I'm sorry for the confusion of the installer.

[hazy slate]

i'm going test that. thank you

[hollow stirrup]

After adding the filter to NDI source, the filters dialog will be like this. I recommend to check Use OBS time instead of source time for NDI Source.

It's usually difficult to describe how the audio is bad. It's better to upload a recorded file if the problem is still there and all the rights are ok.

That sounds like your NDI is working well. 😌

[still narwhal]

has Source Record updated itself to 29.1.1? Am I the only one having it crush when finish recording(encoding)?

[frozen aspen]

im having issues with it but ive only just started using it. I find that sometimes after using it OBS wont close or even occasionally OBS just crashed and closed randomly

[still narwhal]

as of my experience, that is due to encoding overflow(im not sure if this is correct term), it can be solved by lowering the presets. But I have tried to lower it, still does not work XD, so I am uncertain whether it is my mistake, or plugin out-dated.

[still narwhal]

so for you, sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't?

[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

ive set the bitrate as low as 50kbs and it still does it randomly, i can only assume that there is some clash somewhere in the code as OBS has been updated 2 or 3 times since the plugin was last updated

29.1 breaks the VirtualCam plugin again (https://github.com/Avasam/obs-virtual-cam). Which was needed with https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/3635 still being an active issue that we don't even know for certain will be fixed by the OBS-specific patch in the next release of OpenCV.

I'm guessing might be due to this: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/29.1.1

• Added a DLL blocking feature for Windows. This allows OBS to block problematic DLLs from attaching to OBS and causing freezing or crashes, for example 3rd party overlay hooks and outdated video capture devices. [notr1ch]
  • This blocks old versions of popular VTubing software virtual cameras that are known to cause freezes when accessing video capture device properties. If you are affected, please update to the latest version of your VTubing software.

Any idea how I could maybe update the plugin, if not too complex? Otherwise I'm once again raising priority to resolve the integrated VirtualCam issue.

[fossil wyvern]

which specific dll is it blocking that causes issues?

(it shows which dll it has blocked after closing)

[long flame]

If it's supposed to show a popup, then it might be something else that causes the plugin to fail.

[fossil wyvern]

I'm not extremely knowledgeable on this, but from what I've seen, most of the plugins that broke on 29.1 was because obs updated ffmpeg and they were linking directly to it. You're sure that's not your case?

[fossil wyvern]

not a popup, states what it blocked in the log after closing obs

[mortal harbor]

it doesn't show any pop-up, it may be logged though.

[long flame]

Taking a look at the logs, this is the only mention, so it could be something like that (logs from 29.0.2 does show it loaded properly):

14:17:15.600: NVENC supported
14:17:15.795: [NVENC] AV1 is not supported
14:17:15.798: [noise suppress]: NVIDIA denoiser disabled, redistributable not found or could not be loaded.

14:17:15.843: (126)
14:17:15.843: Module '../../obs-plugins/64bit/obs-virtualoutput.dll' not loaded

I wonder if just rebuilding against OBS 29.1 would fix it if cmake find the updated FFMPEG library. I'll try that, thanks for the hint!

[mortal harbor]

yes if it was the block list causing the issue, this would be best to check https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/UI/win-dll-blocklist.c

[fossil wyvern]

yee if it fails a loadlibrary, I'm pretty sure that's the ffmpeg thing

[long flame]

Thanks for the help, I fixed it. I had to update code using some now-removed obsolete references too.

I wanted to get my game recording separate from my stream recording

[fossil wyvern]

can you show me what you have available under "encoder" in the properties of the source record filter?

that didnt work how I wanted it too

[fossil wyvern]

no show me what options there is in the "encoder" dropdown

[violet solstice]

Oh

lol my bad

[fossil wyvern]

np

[fossil wyvern]

ok, I'm seriously unsure then

[violet solstice]

yeah its weird and it does not do it on every game either

Doom does fine but Ion Furry does not

[fossil wyvern]

are you playing the game on the 1600x900 display?

[violet solstice]

no 1920x1080

[violet solstice]

sorry I was trying diffrent things there

[fossil wyvern]

then why is your display capture capturing that one too, I thought it was supposed to capture something else than the game

[violet solstice]

I guess i don't know why it is that way is there a way to stop that? No I am trying to have it get the game and game audio separate for editing later i only shows the doom vido in the recording though not the screen with my chat and obs up

[fossil wyvern]

wait you don't want video to be separate?

[violet solstice]

I want the video of the game with the game audio separate from the video and audio of the stream like the face cam and my talking

[fossil wyvern]

ok then use game capture to capture the game and put the source record filter on that

not display capture

[violet solstice]

ill try that

no it does not capture anything for gameplay

Not really, no. What's the issue with the Source Record plugin?

[violet solstice]

On most games it record right up until i hit the launch button on a game and then it stops recording

[violet solstice]

sorry i keep forgeting to hit reply on discord lol

[glacial haven]

depending on available system resources you could run 2 OBS instances, the first 1 only has the gameplay and forwards this to the second instance through a plugin like NDI or Teleport and then the second OBS instance adds all the other stuff like panels, chat overlay, stream alerts...

you then record on OBS 1 and stream from OBS 2

[gaunt zealot]

Sounds like a game capture source settings issue, not an output encoder issue

[violet solstice]

I would be up for doing that hopefully my pc could handle it

[violet solstice]

Idk if it matters but I have tried useing both game capture and display capture usually i use display capture

I know it's working because I've been doing it for a very long time, but these 2 OBS instances are running on a separate streaming PC, I wouldn't do this if I had a single PC setup tbh

[violet solstice]

ahhh yeah I am on only one atm

[glacial haven]

but that's because I play shooters and am very sensitive to input lag, if that's not the case it could also work on just 1 PC

[violet solstice]

Somone was trying to help me in here last night but couldnt figure it out either

But its weird it works for a few games and then does not work on others

[glacial haven]

since this option is a lot more complex to setup and maintain I'd still suggest to first invest more time in trying to fix the source record - maybe you could do a source clone of the game capture and instead record that cloned source as some sort of abstraction layer?

[violet solstice]

So what is that and how would i go about doing that

[glacial haven]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-clone.1632/ this would be the source clone plugin

[violet solstice]

would i use this in conjunction with the Source record plugin?

[glacial haven]

you clone the game capture source with that and then apply the source record not to the original game capture source but to that cloned source instead

[violet solstice]

okay Ill give this a shot

[glacial haven]

haven't tried this myself, it's just something that I have read people had success with in similar situations

ofc looking at what you can fix with the game capture source itself might also be helpful - like, did you investigate whether the capture source also fails on these games without the record part? what does the log say at the moment when you open a game where capturing would fail?

though for that part I'd suggest to rather head to the#support-portal and provide your log there for people to help you investigate on what is happening

[violet solstice]

Ill get you a log if that would help I had the guy/gal helping last night fairly confused on why it was doing this and the normal stream recording with my face capture is fine its just the source record video that fails

[glacial haven]

so the stream recording would show the game content and your cam feed in addition?

[violet solstice]

Yeah my main display capture works perfectly but the filters video does not and I have tryed both game capture and display capture

[glacial haven]

then this would be an indication that the game capture source doesn't completely fail by itself but does something that somehow makes the source record stumble - something that this abstraction layer through a source clone that I mentioned might help with (but it also might make no difference at all, just need to try)

[violet solstice]

and when i stop recording and hide the filter it does not finalize the video i have to close out OBS tp finalize it

yeah setting that up RN

still ended up not recording properly

its just weird on what video it does take it fine right up until the game window itself actually launches Idk how much it matter either but it work 100% perfect for Doom 1993 but if i go to play like ion furry it stops

[glacial haven]

before you think about more complex solutions (where I'm afraid it's likely that you run into system resource bottlenecks doing it on only one PC anyway) you should take it one step back, do another attempt without the source clone and take a log of that session to the appropriate #support-portal channel, I am not really experienced with reading OBS logs other than my own 😛

and maybe for that test session do one short capture of a game where it's working, then move over to a game where it breaks, then end the session and that's the log you upload

[violet solstice]

oh cool thanks for the tip I have done both one of doom and ion but never in the same session ill grab those and move them over to the correct channel

So I just tried getting back to using the source record plugin. And a few things have been happening. First, and I don't have a log handy since it's on a good run of not doing it, whenever i try to change the settings on the plugin on my webcam, it will sometimes crash as i click on the plugin (can supply pictures and dig up a log if needed) and the other thing is the last time I recorded, I got the full recording of my webcam, but only 3 minutes of my display capture

[drowsy spoke]

Hello guys!

I need a plugin or software that can be connected to OBS that allows the camera to have filters like on TikTok and Snapchat.. The main goal is to make it cartoonish/AI picture, but not to look too fake..

[glacial haven]

the only thing for PC that could do this in a similar way would be Snap Camera - Snap has discontinued it but you could search for the "SnapCameraPreservation" project

something which is not as close but can still be used to achieve at least similar effects would be a combination of the AI face tracking feature (need an NVIDIA card) in exeldros Move plugin and effect shaders - but that's going to be a lot of work to set up and needs a quite advanced understanding of OBS, that's nothing you set up on a weekend

I mean, if you can live with having the real video feed just with some more cartoonish look (as opposed to transforming your actual face into an anime face which you would need something like snap for) then you could look at the OBS shaderfilter plugin, there are a few shaders that create an effect that at least comes a bit close to this, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK0iocWeQTc

but there's a reason why there are not many people using actual snap live face effects, there are not many good options to do it - and Snap Camera, even by the time it was still officially supported, was a mess to work with, e.g. it would have a fluctuating delay making you often end up not being lip synced anymore

if you were searching for a simple low effort solution I'm afraid you can stop right there 😐

and if you are actually willing to commit a substantial amount of time into it and learn it all you would find the crazy people you need to learn from on TheSushiDragons discord (I hope that's not considered as advertising, I am not affiliated with him in any way)

[drowsy spoke]

NOPE!

I found a way to make Snap Camera work again 🙂

I am ugly... Don't look at me 😄

[hallow vale]

Ugly?! No, you deserve your own DreamWorks movie! 🧡

[drowsy spoke]

Haha thanks.. Btw, whoever wants to learn how to do this.. I can send you a youtube link through which it is well explained..

Literally the old Snap Camera works exactly the same with the new snap filters

Good for streaming through OBS/vMix on all platforms especially for TikTok and Instagram...

[hallow vale]

Sure, I would love to see it!

[drowsy spoke]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2onFnEoGUw0&t=4s

[hallow vale]

Cool, thank you!

[glacial haven]

that's literally what I wrote in my first sentence in the response to you

[drowsy spoke]

LOL

I literally see that sentence now HAHAHAHHAA'

[glacial haven]

I just didn't want to link to the SnapCameraPreservation project, since the license status is...questionable

but it's a simple google search for sure 🙂

[drowsy spoke]

I started reading from "something which...."

Sry bout that

[glacial haven]

don't worry, that video is also very good, I like the videos from that guy anyway and it certainly explains things a bit easier

[drowsy spoke]

Yap...It was super easy to install the new patch..And I can't notice a delay by far..

[glacial haven]

my problem was that it would be like that in the beginning, but 2 hours into the stream and 50 filter switches later it was a totally different story

[drowsy spoke]

Ahaa...Gotcha..

[glacial haven]

aside from the fact that every filter has a different delay

if you have more complex filters they will have more delay

while simple ones will have next to none

the variance I've seen was from 50 ms (not noticable, only measured through a specific test video) to 600 ms

but if you only stick to a few lenses and especially the less complex ones I guess it's fine - my use case was a bit more complicated 😛

[drowsy spoke]

Yap.. Makes sense..

Will it make difference according to the performance of the PC?

Better GPU/RAM = less delay?

[glacial haven]

I don't know, only ever ran it on my streaming PC (1950X threadripper and RTX 3090)

[drowsy spoke]

Gotcha!

Ty..

Btw I work as a technical director for live streams, and I've not used any other plugin or NDI or ninja to do my streams for the companies (as we have our own developed platform)... What's the current best way to integrate people to OBS? (I see vdo ninja got upgraded since the last time I've checked it)

[glacial haven]

vdo.ninja is the common recommendation around here because it's feature rich and very simple to use, so if it sufficiently covers your use cases I'd say go with it

[drowsy spoke]

Ye, I see vdo ninja is improved since last time I saw it, not sure when was the update...

[glacial haven]

yes, there was a quite big leap

[drowsy spoke]

But the problem with it is that I don't like the interface (UI) AT ALL... Especially because I work with companies in the real estate world and some people also work in Microsoft, PHILLIPS, etc.. So, would look so unprofessional no?

[glacial haven]

I guess that's really for you and your customers to decide and more a matter of taste - it certainly gets the job done, so it can't be that bad

I wouldn't switch to something that needs more effort to setup only for aesthetics, but that's my personal opinion - on the other hand I am having a quite complex setup myself anyway but I also have complex use cases 😛

[drowsy spoke]

Exactly..

The one we use is SUPER easy to use.. Look at the UI/UX

[glacial haven]

I could imagine that speed is also an important factor, and vdo.ninja is quick to setup

[drowsy spoke]

And then I can control everyone's camera/microphone, their FPS, their resolution, their quality, can mute/unmute | start/stop camera, etc...

A lot of futures but super easy to use.. And as simple as through OBS Ninja... Copy view link and past it in OBS

[glacial haven]

the moderator actions area looks a bit like "let's just throw it all onto the pile there in the corner" though 😄

[drowsy spoke]

EXACTLY hahahahaha

We don't really use them much

It's more for fun streams that we do for interactions

This is really cool future tho..

A poll.. does vdo ninja have it btw?

Also can be turned into a quiz option with a correct answer not just like a poll to choose the prefered option

Are there any foolproof AMD encoder settings for 6000 series GPUs for streaming in 1080? Googling gives too many different resulsts

[oblique yew]

There are no "best settings." Please understand that every setup, for every use case, will be different. Any guides or videos that claim otherwise are misinforming at best.

We recommend that you start off by using Auto-Config to get a baseline of where your settings should be; click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions. You can test and adjust from there.

Hello! I've been looking for quite some time for something like this and haven't found anything even remotely close. I'd like for those on Discord to hear the music im streaming through OBS, as well as any sound alerts and twitch notifications. Essentially i want them to hear the stream as i do, just without my game audio and mic because they'll have their own game audio and Discord will take care of the Mic part. Does anyone know if anything like this exists?

[oblique yew]

1. Install VB-Audio CABLE. (A reboot is not required)
2. In OBS Studio, go to Settings > Audio and select "CABLE Input" as your Monitoring Device
3. Go to Edit > Advanced Audio Properties and enable Audio Monitoring for the audio sources you'd like to stream to Discord.
4. In Discord, in Voice & Video settings, select "CABLE Output" instead of your microphone under "Input device".

Now anything you monitor in OBS Studio will be streamed to Discord. Similar steps will work with other conferencing apps, such as Microsoft Teams or Slack.

Hello once again. I got my ultrawide and did a stream with the filter I made here (with your help), but I have an issue.

The macro fails if it disappears and reappears instantly.

https://clips.twitch.tv/MoldyAnnoyingPorcupineCopyThis-8j5cZwGLZa5aSiGk

The macro does work otherwise, I'm just wondering why it fails on these specific interactions. It also gets disabled until it triggers again fully.

Either use https://vdo.ninja/ or https://versus.cam/

[fossil wyvern]

I'm not entirely sure to be true.
I think it might be some weird interaction between "perform action only on condition change" and it performing the check only every x.

can try diabling that, might work

[lucid thicket]

I'll give it a try tomorrow, sure.

[sharp nacelle]

this sounds like an Audio mixer scenario but you may be able to play with Audio Application Capture and Desktop Audio. you can also use "windowed projector" of your stream and select that as your stream to discord.

WebSocket 5 is already included with OBS v28+. You do not need to download v5 for it. If you downloaded v5, it was for the old OBS.

• Close OBS completely
• Remove the plugin you just installed
• Open OBS and go to Help Menu > Check File Integrity
• Relaunch OBS after it runs

if that doesnt restore the original WebSocket feature in Tools...

• Reinstall OBS over top of the current install

Hi, in short I'm looking for instructions on how to program and compile plugins for obs. does anyone have a good guide? (if possible with c,c++ or c#)

[oblique yew]

To get started with OBS development, read this guide.

[spice flower]

Yes, I'm coming from the side. xD it is also described a lot, but not what I need. I don't understand how I now create a project with all the programs, add obs and finally write a simple plugin or then finish packaging it.

[lament leaf]

Could maybe also try asking in #development as the contributors hang there a lot, might get a more detailed answer there. :)

[glacial haven]

with C# it's easier to setup and get going, since you don't need to get a full OBS build environment running, only include the NetObsBindings NuGet package and get going, there is also example plugins there: https://github.com/kostya9/NetObsBindings

the disadvantage is that you can't debug from the dev environment

need to do it the hard way with log messages

[spice flower]

Isn't there a video guide for this? @.@

[glacial haven]

I'm afraid no

just start with an example plugin and start to modify things to get an idea how everything works, and then of course read the OBS API docs

Do you guys know a nice plug in for streaming on twitch, youtube and tiktok on the same time?

[oblique yew]

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

[opaque plaza]

Is there already a plugin that exists where when a streamer's internet goes out instead they go to a "technical difficulties" screen for x amount of seconds?

[spiral ruin]

If the internet goes out, there's no way for OBS to notify the stream service and your audience with a Technical Difficulty scene. It's impossible to do that from your PC once you lose connection to the stream. It would have to be a feature of the stream service, but how would they know your service was interrupted vs. the stream was ended on your end?

[opaque plaza]

I need to figure out more of how obs works but, I had an idea of adding in a buffer stream for 1 minute which is constantly added to end of a current stream, where normal stream will overwrite it, but if that normal stream cuts out it'll go to that technical difficulties stream

[fossil wyvern]

has to be on service side, still

[spiral ruin]

Only way to make this work is to operate your own stream service with redundant outputs, and you wouldn't need a sorry tech difficulties sign, you just keep streaming.

[quiet bramble]

On the Twitch side of things, they have a disconnection protection feature but it has to be enabled first.

[obsidian agate]

yep, and the nice thing about Twitch's implementation is you can force trigger it by Ending the OBS Process Tree (I believe that still works) if you need to quit OBS real quick and reload it for any reason. A regular quit will shut down the stream gracefully, causing the protection to not work

oddly enough, ALT-F4 doesnt seem to trigger the disconnect protection

[glacial haven]

alt-f4 is a graceful exit so that makes sense

[opaque plaza]

[manic mortar]

Hello, hopefully I can share my question effectively...
As some details, I'm not a programmer so my knowledge is slightly limited to all the searching I've been trying to do.

To be brief. I wanted to make a python program that gets the youtube chat link from the OBS Studio YouTube chat dock (since it change with each broadcast selected), modifies it with custom html, css and js code and then make a window capture on obs to show the personalized chat, including donations, memberships and superchats.

I got the idea of making it that way so I can use it myself more easily (i hope) on stream while also be able to design custom chat boxes and testing them on a real enviroment (being an unlisted stream with me sending random messages)

Is it possible? or am i taking the extremely long route for a simple task...
Either as an addon, script or an independent program.

[quiet bramble]

I don't think OBS exposes any of the information or authentication done in dock browser panels via any API etc. There would be security and other implications of doing so also. I believe the only way to do this is to directly talk to the platform's APIs of the given platform.

[manic mortar]

your cpu isn't supported by ndi 5

not sure if ndi 4 will work

[vagrant minnow]

14 year old CPU, I also doubt it

[warped agate]

Anyone know if there's a linux-friendly blur plugin?
https://github.com/prgmitchell/blur-filter
This one seems to be windows/mac only

[nimble grove]

woked

4.10 v install

[regal breach]

good for you

but don't expect much from your cpu, as ndi can be quite cpu intensive

[lethal mortar]

Any good recommendations ai noise removal plug in for obs

[spiral ruin]

!nvafx
If you have an RTX or compatible GTX GPU, try NVIDIA noise suppression.

[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."

[river mantle]

can i get the link to the plug in that seperates the audio from game, desktop, ext.?

@oblique yew

[hallow vale]

!ac If you are using OBS version 28+, it's built in already. If not the link is in the next msg

[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

is there a plugin out there to simulate a peeling effect, like peeling to remove a sticker? haven't heard of one

[glacial haven]

you could use a shader that does this with a shader plugin: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/3s2SzW

the bad news is that usually you need to rewrite those shadertoy filters a bit to make them work with OBS shader plugins

and I personally don't know anything about shader programming, I have a guy that I always ask to convert them for me 😄

[white wave]

im not smart enough for this one haha, thanks though its good to know that's all there is out there!

[quiet bramble]

Neat shader... that one looks like it is simple enough that it can be converted to be used in OBS Shaderfilter. I'm gonna eat breakfast and convert it.

[quiet bramble]

Here it is, converted to OBS Shaderfilter from https://www.shadertoy.com/view/3s2SzW Tested with OBS 26.1.1, but it should work as-is with any newer version of the plugin including Exeldro's version (for 28.x+)

Example:

[spiral ruin]

That was a quick breakfast

[quiet bramble]

I ended up converting the shader first... 🙂 Now breakfast time... 🙂

I might add controls for speed, intensity and other stuff later.

[wheat remnant]

Hello, super new to OBS scripting, and am embarrassed to say I'm fairly lost.

All I'm hoping to build is a script that at a click of a button will do three things:

Increment a counter with a predefined sourcename (well, one of 20 counters but figure once I know what's needed for one, I can simply duplicate it for the other 19)

Using an integer input field will change a predefined source's image to Image#.gif (ideally also using the same UI as the counters.)

Using a boolean will change a predefined source's image to either an on state or an off state.

I was curious if there was an equivalent to "hello world!" and/or helloworld.gif for OBS scripting that I could leverage, as I feel as though it wouldn't take much more than that to accomplish the above.

Thank you for any responses to aid me in this endeavor.

[untold jay]

@wheat remnant Let me disappoint you in advance before you put any more effort into this: dynamically changing images in an image source's properties is likely to cause rendering lag. But what you described sounds an awful lot like the image slide show source, so maybe just use that, and set a hotkey to switch to the next image. Only it can't switch to a specific image numbers. You might also try your luck with adv-ss macros?

[wheat remnant]

Time to google adv-ss-macros and see what those are I guess.
Hoping to accomplish something workable in the next four hours, so here goes. = )

[untold jay]

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

[regal breach]

Would it still cause rendering lag even if it's not done frequently?

[untold jay]

@regal breach It locks up while it's trying to render the image file; larger image files cause longer lock-ups, so every switch is an opportunity to cause rendering lag, the only question is how much. Small enough images at low enough frame rates might cause none, but don't depend on it. You can look at "average time to render frame" to evaluate your likelihood of running into such issues.

[wheat remnant]

hoping to use the script / function to track heart upgrades in Tears of the Kingdom.

So ideally, this is going to be a once an hour, give or take, thing at best.

[regal breach]

in that case, would there still be an issue if all the image sources are already prepared, but visibility is toggled?

[regal breach]

how big are the images?

[wheat remnant]

I believe this is the data for the largest file.

I found an entire solution previously built for Pokemon playthroughs that takes a pokedex number and a shiny checkbox for a boolean that udpates one of 6 predefined image sources with a pokemon sprite, varying for the shiny form.

I had presumed if that existed, then simply updating an integer input field to update one image to 0Hearts.gif through 40Hearts.gif would be doable.

[untold jay]

@regal breach No issue in that case, provided you have enough VRAM for uncompressed copies of all images.

[wheat remnant]

I've got a PC dedicated just for video capture and streaming. I suspect it should be doable. But at the moment I'm stumbling through using ChatGPT to teach me LUA in a very compressed method.

[regal breach]

i have two options for you. i can modify the image slideshow source to allow selecting a specific entry and give you the modified version. this will let you make a script to select the index. this means however that all files will be loaded by the image slideshow source. the other option i could give you is what you initially wanted, to change the selected file in the image source with a script

with the potential issue mentioned by Chiyo

[regal breach]

thanks

and a third option is to not modify the image slideshow source, but have an image source for each file, that we just toggle the visibility of

[dusky basin]

a fourth option is to make it as a browser source

[regal breach]

changing the selected image file in the image source is easy enough to code

[regal breach]

how would you make that controllable?

[dusky basin]

you would make a browser dock

[regal breach]

like a separate webpage open to control it?

[regal breach]

do browser docks support hotkeys?

[wheat remnant]

I started going that route as I'm somewhat less rubbish in javascript, but realized that placing the text labels and adjusting the spacing for them on the fly is beyond my knowledge at present. But building the form to control the data would be easy enough.

[dusky basin]

I dunno about hotkeys specifically but a browser dock can send messages to the browser source so adding a UI that does stuff is relatively easy

[regal breach]

if you do it via obs api, you don't have to fiddle with layout, although there's only style: the style used by Properties

[regal breach]

i guess one could also create a script for the hotkeys only, and communicate with the web page too hahaha

[dusky basin]

possibly

[wheat remnant]

That's part of why I was hoping to use OBS. The pokemon solution I have is slick and works really well. Simply having all of the sources I want to update pre-made built, and then having Properties buttons to adjust by increment / de-increment and with 5 checkboxes for on/off status for the abilities.

[dusky basin]

I don't see hotkeys mentioned in the original question though

[regal breach]

ah

[wheat remnant]

Is it permissible to upload images here?

[regal breach]

yes

[wheat remnant]

This is the static image I have for my OBS scene to track the progress, KorokSeeds, Deaths, etc.

Ideally I'll have 20 text fields, in the upper right is where the #Hearts.gif image is anchored, and the five gray icons at the bottom are the _Off.gif files, and will light up when their tickbox is selected by swapping to _On.gif

[dusky basin]

is it me or do I not see any text

(that isn't in the bg image)

[regal breach]

that's for the controller ui

altho i also wonder why 20 text fields

[wheat remnant]

Tracking all the various parts of 100% completion for the game.

From caves, wells, shrines, signs, temples, etc.

[regal breach]

the script is easy enough that i can do it for you, tho note that docks aren't possible in scripts

[dusky basin]

so you want like 'number of shrines', 'number of wells', etc

[wheat remnant]

Correct. = )

[dusky basin]

I think your best option is to make it as a browser source tbh

[wheat remnant]

Yeah, that's what I'm figuring too at this point. Would also take up far less screen space.

[dusky basin]

moderately complicated graphics things like these tend to be done that way

[wheat remnant]

I just presumed since I'm just putting 20 text sources on the image itself, that outside of the 5 abilities and the hearts update that the text would have been easily doable.

[regal breach]

well, it is

[dusky basin]

I mean putting this as a background image and putting 20 text sources over it is easy yes

[regal breach]

a script with 20 text fields is also easy

[dusky basin]

it's the updating part that makes it a bit more complex

[regal breach]

you could even write a for loop for it

script updating the text sources when the text fields are edited? also easy

[wheat remnant]

Awesome.

[regal breach]

the only real downside is that you can't create a dock

[wheat remnant]

See, that word, "dock" means 0 to me.

[regal breach]

otherwise script development is way faster

[wheat remnant]

So....

[dusky basin]

docks are the ui bits in obs

[wheat remnant]

Oh, like Scenes and the like.

[dusky basin]

like where your mixer is, and your source list, etc

those are docks

[wheat remnant]

Yeah, I'm used to keeping the scripts window open on the second monitor.

[regal breach]

so you want 20 text fields, and whatever is inside them will be exactly the text in the text sources?

[dusky basin]

lemme show you a thing I made with a browser source and dock

[wheat remnant]

20 text fields that will just be displaying numbers.

[dusky basin]

that thing on the side is a browser dock that controls the bingo board/random weapon in the actual stream

[wheat remnant]

That's pretty snazzy looking. But a bit more advanced than what I think I need for this. 🤔

[dusky basin]

for now yes

but it can make it easier for you to actually use

for example instead of having a text input field for the number of shrines you could make +/- buttons

[wheat remnant]

Ah. I thought that was a part of the integer field input already?

[dusky basin]

yes but they're tiny

[wheat remnant]

Fair point.

[dusky basin]

point is you can do it with obs sources and lua scripts, and I don't think loading this type of image is going to give you a lot of problems with rendering lag

or you can do it with a combination of browser source an dock which may be a little bit more set-up (in terms of doing the layout mostly) but I think will give you a better result in the end

I have a script somewhere that creates an image source where it loads the image file name from a text file

[wheat remnant]

Yeah, still working on poking at lua scripts. About 3 hours ago I knew nothing about how to do anything in lua.
What I know now is it's...
Well it's not javascript of python, that's for certain. lol

[dusky basin]

for the record obs also supports python

[wheat remnant]

I saw that. But I've not done anything in Python since 2014, so figure since lua is used natively by OBS, I'd be better off learning it's code block syntax and building the script that way.

Less things to go sideways that method.

[dusky basin]

fair

I also just have a general dislike for python but that's neither here nor there

[wheat remnant]

But it looks like lua is one big statebased engine of a mess. Which, I guess is expected due to how it's simply hooking into a running engine.

3 hours ago I was thinking I'd just set an array for the 20 text labels I wanted, code an for loop to spit out the inputs and the buttons, and then build a function for the input fields, the increase and decrease buttons, and built it to where it used the button labels to identify which text fields to update.

That all fell apart when the array thing was a bust.

[regal breach]

@wheat remnant

that what you looking for?

[wheat remnant]

Yep, that sure is.

[regal breach]

you can just add more fields in the script

it's a very short script

[wheat remnant]

Oh, that's super clean.

And I just update the dictionary with the other sources.

[regal breach]

yep

make sure to select a python interpreter path

[wheat remnant]

CodeYan, thank you!

[regal breach]

np

still need help with the image?

[wheat remnant]

Hrm. Looking over the code you provided, I suspect I could set a flag that would read the source_name and if it was Hearts Source it would run the image update instead of the text udpate?

[regal breach]

while that is true, you still need a few more steps for that, because of the file name format

[wheat remnant]

Ah. Good point. Not to mention the file path too. 🤔 Would the path just take the relative path to the script, or the OBS install?

[regal breach]

only absolute paths

not sure about how relative paths would behave, or if it is even allowed

you could perhaps hardcode the path of your image in the script and put %d in place of the number

so you just substitute the value

[wheat remnant]

That's what I was thinking when building the file names.

[regal breach]

there's also an option to add ui for file path selection

[wheat remnant]

I've seen some other scripts do that, but hardcoding it in would use one less line of UI space.

[regal breach]

indeed

[dusky basin]

yeah you can add a selector for a directory and prepend that to the filename

or not since you're just making it for yourself

[wheat remnant]

So when script_update is called with (settings) I'm presuming that source_name is the string for the setting in description that was just changed?

[regal breach]

it's the field desc, not source name

the key in the dict

whatever you set as the name when you created the property, that's the string you get in the data

https://docs.obsproject.com/reference-properties#c.obs_properties_add_int

[olive sonnet]

guys help me It first time i use OBS how to use obs ?

[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

[wheat remnant]

So inserting something like this should work I suspect?

        if source:
            if source == "Hearts Source":
                data = obs.obs_data_create()
                valIMG = str(IMGPATH) + str(val) + str(IMGEXT)
                   obs.obs_data_set_string(data, 'text', str(valIMG))
                obs.obs_source_update(source, data)
                obs.obs_data_release(data)
                obs.obs_source_release(source)
              else: 

[regal breach]

what you check with the if is not source, but source_name

source is the obs_source_t object

not a string

[wheat remnant]

🤦‍♂️

That makes perfect sense.

[wheat remnant]

Awesome. Got the hearts part sorted. = )

And I -think- I can fudge the on/off status for the 5 powers using 1/0
