is that like a transition?

i really need change the video like this

while it's gonna be manual, you can use the source clone plugin to create clones of your source, then you can apply crop filters on each of them

chilly eagle
#

Ok, i'll try this way

#

thank you!

#

like me, i wouldn't do that kind of script for free as it's too personalized and i'm busy (not trying to discourage you or anyone here)

chilly eagle
#

Hey, Yan, i can code, but i never made nothing to obs, i was jusk asking for a way to do this, ok? Thanks for reply

Might be something already on Shadertoy website that could be converted to an OBS Shaderfilter shader.

knew this would be better off in a pixel shader (though i know nothing about writing one)

Is this the right place to ask questions regarding plugin development? I have a beginner question.

Technically here is better but they’re being used interchangeably

Thank you! I'm trying to build any OBS plugin. Specifically, the example provided here: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate
I get an error from CMakeLists.txt regarding this line: find_package(libobs REQUIRED)
Seems libobs can't be found, whatever that is. I'm experienced C/C++/Python but I don't understand CMake and would like some help.

#

it builds obs, downloads dependencies, sets necessary paths

rapid rampart
regal breach
#

the build-windows.ps1 is somewhere in CI or .github

#

very long

#

the initial run of the script takes likes 30 minutes depending on your pc

rapid rampart
#

After the first build?

regal breach
#

you don't have to build obs every time you build your plugin

rapid rampart
#

Oh! I see. How do you build your plugin after building OBS? Is it the same PowerShell script?

regal breach
#

the .sln you open in Visual Studio.

#

you just build it there

rapid rampart
#

Oh got it. Thank you very much. That's enough to get me started.

regal breach
#

no problemo

#

oooh nice you can actually run the script even without having to cd into the folder

28.0.1 has a minor bug that makes it nearly impossible for plugins to use pthreads (at least without customizing the build much)

i'd say wait for it to finish

and see if the plugin is built

#

if it does, it's fine

#

i'm not sure of that error tbh

Thanks again! ❤️

I looked at that, but it didnt appear to do what I was looking for. I want to be able to put Spotify on one window and put two windows in one, but if I press another button, The windows will swap out for something else.

rapid rampart
#

The build failed. I'm guessing I need to install ATL, maybe with Visual Studio, not sure.

regal breach
#

that's likely not something you install

#

can you paste your buildspec here?

hi all, I am testing out the mac-virtualcam plugin with a custom built OBS on a M1 macbook pro. I was able to see server MachPort registered in the log, but for some reason, the client side from the DAL cannot send message to the server, and got the timeout error. I've disabled the System Integrity Protection on my mac to exclude the codesign impact, but still cannot figure out why. Any idea? TIA

Wondering if manually installing one of the prereqs might help? Like the Windows 10 SDK? Or maybe this is just a bug and I submit a report?

regal breach
# rapid rampart

i don't know how that would have changed but you should just copy the buildspec i linked to

rapid rampart
#

I'll give it a try. What OS are you building OBS on? I'm on Windows 10.

regal breach
#

windows 10

rapid rampart
#

I used the buildspec.json you linked, and I received the same error. This might be a dead end huh?

regal breach
#

not necessarily in red

rapid rampart
regal breach
#

what is it?

#

btw, what's the filename of the script you ran?

rapid rampart
regal breach
#

what's your cmake version?

rapid rampart
#

3.26.4

regal breach
#

oh

#

i suppose that's where the atls is

rapid rampart
#

oh i see it KEKW

regal breach
#

it's part of visual studio

rapid rampart
#

weird that i don't have it then, since i have vs 2022

regal breach
#

when you pick the module for c++ development

rapid rampart
#

regal breach
#

try to run the visual studio installer again (no need to reinstall it)

#

it should allow you to select modules

rapid rampart
#

ok how do i select the module? yeah i'm looking thx

regal breach
#

screenshot the installer

rapid rampart
#

oh i blundered nvm i was trying to do it in VS, not the installer

#

there she is! now is this something i should have known, or is this cause to change the install guide? like was the screenshot you gave from the "Manual Installation" section?

image.png
regal breach
#

i can't speak for how the build docs should be formatted or what

rapid rampart
#

oh i see. i misunderstood. i thought those prereqs were necessary for the manual install

#

yeah i think prereqs should come before everything else. you're not likely to have those unless you already work in visual studio specifically. but i dunno, i don't feel strongly about that

#

thanks for the help. sorry it was such a minor error i made! i feel stupid but hey, that's programming for ya

regal breach
#

yeah, programming has made me feel stupid so many times, repeating the same question to myself multiple times

#

"why doesn't it work???"

rapid rampart
regal breach
#

but i'm not too sure on how it should be changed

rapid rampart
# regal breach but i'm not too sure on how it should be changed

i just looked at the document i read and i skipped the prereqs entirely. totally my fault. oh well. anyways, i'm gonna send you a friend request in discord. if u wanna talk about obs plugin stuff more in the future i'm down. you seem like a real one. maybe i can help you with a C problem every now and then too

#

no pressure tho. either way, thanks so much for the help

regal breach
#

who's to say i'm not a robot

rapid rampart
regal breach
#

you're welcome, and i hope you get to help people with your plugin

rapid rampart
#

i'm really trying but i can't figure this out. i might just be dumb! i made a folder in obs-studio/plugins called my-plugin. i then opened powershell, cd into my-plugin, call build-windows.ps1. obs builds, but in build64 there is no folder for the plugin. all others have .sln. do i need a CMakeLists.txt in /my-plugin? do i need to alter the obs-studio/plugins/CMakeLists.txt also? i notice it has a list of the plugins in that file.

regal breach
rapid rampart
regal breach
# rapid rampart

the script makes a build64 in the plugin folder, not obs folder

rapid rampart
regal breach
rapid rampart
#

what is the correct thing to do? i'm lost.

regal breach
#

that's where you'll find the .sln

rapid rampart
#

i did a search for base64 and there was only the one folder i showed you

regal breach
#

the plugintemplate

#

you won't find it in obs folder

#

you're still in obs-studio folder; it won't be there

rapid rampart
regal breach
#

where is the build-windows.ps1 that you ran?

rapid rampart
#

obs-studio/CI/build-windows.ps1

regal breach
#

where is the plugin template

#

have you cloned the plugin template

rapid rampart
#

i'll try it again, i might have goofed something in the process

#

i had it in the obs-studio/plugins folder though, should it be elsewhere?

regal breach
#

yes, it should be outside obs-studio

rapid rampart
#

OH

regal breach
#

because it will create obs-studio folder outside the plugin folder

#

i've been saying that you won't find it in obs-studio

#

and you're not supposed to run the build-windows.ps1 in the obs folder, but rather the one in the PLUGIN folder

#

it's in .github folder of the plugin

#

i gtg sleep now, others can take over

rapid rampart

Well, you're using an unsupported version of OBS, for one.

#

And for StreamFX, we don't provide support for it here unfortunately, you'll have to reach out to the StreamFX discord for more assistance.

#

!streamfx

#

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

#

But just glancing at the log, you somehow have it installed twice. Probably once in the local directory, and again in ProgramData.

The thing is I’m having issues with aitum vertical plugin. And it all started after I updated both obs latest install and aitum latest install. I created a ticket in aitum server but they still haven’t found a fix. For some reason whenever I have the plugin running and I go into a game my obs studio itself is so choppy the game it’s fine but my obs lags/chops/drops frames and I’ve reset my pc like 3 times already updated every driver in my pc etc and still same issue. Game is fine but obs lags. So I was thinking in downgrading both my obs and the aitum plug-in in order to go back to when it wasn’t broken. Because if it ain’t broken don’t fix it.

trim pewter
#

My pc isn’t bad either. But idk what else I could do. If I stream I cant have the plunging running backtrack or replay buffer whatever it’s called. And since I’m a small streamer I depend on that to get clips etc so I either stream or I have that running. And when I go ahead and clip stuff even tho my obs is dropping frames chopping the clip itself when I go review it it’s fine.

Sounds like HAGS nonsense to me, as is pretty common currently.

#

!hags

oblique yewBOT

To disable HAGS, go to:
Windows 10: ⚙️ Settings → System → Display → Graphics Settings
Windows 11: ⚙️ Settings → System → Display → Graphics → Change default graphics settings

From there, set "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" to OFF, then reboot your computer.

hard jay
#

would try disabling HAGS first to see if that helps before trying downgrading.

#

We put some mitigation for the issues in 29.1.2, if you're still not quite current.

on the windows support i put my log and it shows a lot of stuff i dont understand tbh ik it says some bout the encoder

if not ill try 29.1.2

#

and if not ill just wait

hard jay
#

Well you're on 29.1.2 according to the log

#

Everything here is just looking like typical GPU overload. Make sure you're capping FPS in the game to something that your PC can hold consistently without hitting max GPU usage.

But more support at this point.

I'm currently using this formatting: %MM. %B-%Y/%DD-%B/%hh %mm %ORES @ %FPS fps

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

Have you tried a script to put the exe name in the filename?

#

With the custom build

fossil wyvern
#

I have a complete abomination of a script that's like bringing a howitzer to kill a fly.

#

have to finish it, do the ui and the documentation, but all the backend works

regal breach
#

Nice

#

Obs 30.1 hahaha

fossil wyvern
#

look you don't understand, it allows you to execute arbitrary python code to change your filename formatting

regal breach
fossil wyvern
# regal breach You mean like the script lets you run a script with the exe name as the paramete...

so basically what it does is it adds three fully nestable tokens :
$x[<key>]$ which gets replaced by the value of data item "key" from the data settings of source x (whih I manually supplement with some useful shit that's not normally in the data settings, like executable, or source size)
$if$ <condition> $then$ <1> $else$ <2> $end$ which gets replaced by the content of 1 if condition evaluates to true, or 2 if it evaluates to false
$exec$ <statement> $end$ which gets replaced by the value recieved from evaluating statement as python

regal breach
#

lol

fossil wyvern
#

pretty much yes

#

I mean if you have suggestions for other shit that'd be interesting to add I'm open

regal breach
#

i don't hahaha, that's already beyond what i expected

fossil wyvern
#

we go a little overboard on our free time

regal breach
#

what did you use for parsing?

fossil wyvern
#

pyparsing. it pretty good

#

and then I have a recursive interpreter that goes over the tree returned by pyparsing and applies the values

regal breach
#

i wanna learn parsing soon hahaha

fossil wyvern
#

fun bit is I pretty much wrote my own parser for it before the neurons connected and I figured there had to be a library for that

regal breach
#

huh, it's like regex

image.png
#

i wonder what makes it better than regex

fossil wyvern
#

well, the possibility of recursive grammar, and returning a coherent tree

regal breach
#

ah yeah i guess recursion is pretty complicated in regex

#

if not outright impossible in some interpreters

fossil wyvern
#

for example, in my case, my exec and my if statements use the same end token. with regex it's afaik impossible to know which end belongs to which if you nest them

Hey folks, is it possible to record a video on OBS in segments? I mean, like it works on Instagram or TikTok. I wanted to record in sections, and if I didn`t like the most recent section, delete it with a click, and keep recording other sections. The final result would be a single file with all the wanted sections merged together. Is there any tool or extention that allows that?

spiral ruin

#

Well, it is possible by pausing the recording. But live editing the file before the recording stopped is not possible. Not sure how IG or TikTok does it. There are lots of free editors, some simple and some very high-powered.

true adder
# spiral ruin Well, it is possible by pausing the recording. But live editing the file before ...

I use Davinci Resolve. The editing is not really a problem. I just wanted to skip a step in the proccess of creating hahaha I think they record multiple files, and merge them into one when you click "finish". In my mind, it seemed to be something easy to do, that`s why I asked. But I'm dumb when it comes to tech, somethings that look easy sometimes are the hardest hahaha
But it's good to know that's not possible, at least. Thanks for the clarification

spiral ruin
#

I just told you how it is possible in OBS, using pause. I know it's not the same as what you describe from the other places. but it has a similar effect. It's still one recording, one file.

Do you know if there's a way to put timestamps on these pauses, so the editor recognizes them?

glacial haven
#

uhm, am I right to assume that when my resource in the OBS forums has an URL like obsproject.com/forum/resources/myresource-beta.1234/ that this URL cannot be changed? so when the resource reaches stable status I would have to release it as a new resource to get rid of the "beta" part in it if I don't want to have it in there forever?

#

didn't think of that when releasing 😄

fossil wyvern
#

tbh, I'd assume whoever is in charge of the site could change that url if you ask kindly with a cherry on top

glacial haven
#

that's the question, I would think that it's maybe not technically possible - like when the forums software doesn't support it and then you would have to do it directly in the database, which of course nobody would want to do

I used to multistream in OBS using Restream - it's been a long time though. Is Restream still considered the best way to multistream? I was hoping for more info on what method is considered generally easier/less hassle and most compatible with OBS. FYI: The platforms are kick and youtube. My dl/ul speed is 1gb and my pc is pretty new, so no limitations there. Just want stability and chat integration from both platforms. Any information would be much appreciated.

fossil wyvern
# mortal harbor I used to multistream in OBS using Restream - it's been a long time though. Is R...

I'd say there are mainly two ways to do it, restream and the multi-rtmp plugin.

The plugin has the advantage that you can have different encoding/audio setups for each service (which can be esp useful for youtube iven the difference in what it allows compared to other services), whereas with restream you can only send one stream wich is then splitted outside of your control

the reverse of that coin is that with restream, you're only sending one stream of data whereas with the plugin you're sending one stream of data per service, so restream is much easier on your connection

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
  5. Paste the URL into this Discord channel

Im trying to use OBS Virtual camera filter but everytime I load into obs i get obs-virtualoutput failed to load. Anyone know how to fix it?

obsidian agate
#

installing the plugin may have broke your virtual camera as well, so you will either need to use

Help Menu > Check File Integrity

Or reinstall OBS over the current install to fix it if the above doesnt work

Ok thank you i will check it out. I am trying to use my webcam on both obs and tiktok live studios. my logitech is only allowing my webcam to be use in one application at a time>

obsidian agate
#

what page did you get the plugin from?

hard hamlet
obsidian agate
#

MOD EDIT: This version of the plugin is currently deprecated and should not be used with OBS Studio v25. Please use this version instead: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.949/

That also means not to use it with OBS versions v25 or newer

#

AND, the one it links to says this...

As an FYI, this plugin will not be updated to support OBS 28. I recommend using Exeldro's filter plugin that extend the use of the built-in virtual camera instead.

#

which also means it doesnt support v28 or newer

hard hamlet
#

oh ok my apologies.

obsidian agate
#

as far as I am aware, there are no longer any plugins that support multiple Virtual Camera outputs for OBS anymore

true, though even the dev of that says use the built in Virtual Camera, since they dont support that plugin and its a stop-gap

Stop gap til their use case no longer requires it Ainsley

Is anyone aware of any decent plugins or small apps for getting track, artist, album names along with album art from Spotify? I don't want a pre-made widget, I want these as individual text files and image for artwork?

I was originally using this, but it didn't work when I opened up OBS. I had it on scenes as a nested scene, and I had to always open the original scene before I could get it to work with the controls inside OBS... it wasn't a major issue, but I'm just seeing if there is alternatives

none that I know of without hooking your own stuff to the spotify API. might be easier to try to troubleshoot the issue with it rather than make your own alternative

Hey guys! :) I'm rly struggling rn with programs that are supposed to make a websocket connection with OBS. I'm talking about loopys SRT monitor or another one I tried was the IRL OBS switcher. By any chance, does anybody here use those to IRL stream and can confirm that they are working rn? I tried every trouble shooting video and looked into the problems with a dev friend but I just cannot make those applications work. So I'm starting to wonder if the websocket (which has a change from 3 weeks ago) makes some problems here?
Would be awesome if anybody here has an idea, I'm lost

what would be a hook to intercept double clicking on a source?

sacred tulip
#

hi

stray bone
#

(hi there)

fossil wyvern
stray bone
#

since is non standard behavior, i figured that a plugin would be the cleanest way to do it

fossil wyvern
#

I know, I saw your convo with tiberium

#

I'm telling you I'm not sure a plugin is able to override this behaviour without replacing obs core files, which I would personally consider a no no

stray bone
#

for obvious reasons

fossil wyvern
#

(granted evidently not everyone is of that opinion)

stray bone
#

but is obviously something problematic

fossil wyvern
#

yee

stray bone
#

maybe i can intercept the Qt mouse event before it reaches the method

#

and stop the propagation when is done over a browser source

fossil wyvern
#

I honestly can't help you more here, I know shit nothing about QT

stray bone
#

my educated guess is that works kinda like the events in JS

#

so there should be something like stopPropagation() or preventDefault()

#

With the source IDs, is it possible to maintain compatibility with old versions? such that a plugin would use the source IDs on the newer OBS versions, and source names on older ones?

fossil wyvern
#

you mean the uuid?

#

I guess you could make wrapper functions that check for obs versions?

regal breach
fossil wyvern
#

I mean, unless I'm mistaken, all you'd need to wrap would be get_source_by_xxx and get_sourcce_xxx because both are char so can fit in the same variables

@wary escarp https://github.com/CodeYan01/media-playlist-source/releases/tag/0.0.1 you might be interested in this plugin i told you about before, finally got it to a working state even with shuffling support (auto-reshuffle, saved shuffle files order), without the source restarting whenever any settings are modified. does require the custom build with the PR tho

regal breach
#

and when you add the sources to a list, you'd want to put the uuid as the values in the prop list, as opposed to putting in the name

which is another if

regardless, you have 10 plugins installed. that crash log doesn't really point to adv-ss though.

try uninstalling tuna first. if that isn't the one, i'm not quite sure and you'd need to uninstall one by one till you find which.

its mostly exeldro stuff, the stuff he broke off streamfx and a few other goodies

#

a little dirty trick, a good way to easily find functions that aren't listed in the API documentation is to search for keywords in the obspython.py file.
SWIG mass-wraps literally everything that's exposed by the headers it's told to wrap, so a lot of the functions that are exposed by the api but not documented are just sitting in there

I waited. For some it took 2 weeks. For one i think it took 1 month. If it's more than a month already, I would post in this channel to request that the plugin be reviewed (but dont ping anyone). Usually those in charge of reviewing see it and get reminded to review resources (which are a lot, hence the long waiting time), or they could choose to review at least your plugin first if they are busy.

#

I personally would do it only after a month because I know that there's a lot they're doing), but i suppose it's fine if it's already 2 weeks

#

Also, you talking about waiting for 2 weeks for the approval is already the same as posting here to get it reviewed, so no need to post it again

Good afternoon

It seemed to me a cool idea to go to the site https://www.shadertoy.com/browse
I came in. There were 6,209 pages of shaders. I am now on page 6. I have a suspicion that these shaders cannot be run in the OBS. And I can't say that there is an OBS checkbox in the filter list.

Please be kind enough to tell me — how to properly search for shaders supported by the OBS? Which of the presented shaders can be available in the OBS?

abstract sandal
#

How much do you think it costs to write your own shader?
Is there anyone who does this? Could you advise? Thank you dear!

regal breach
quiet bramble
# faint mural Good afternoon It seemed to me a cool idea to go to the site https://www.shade...

Shadertoy shaders are WebGL based, written in the GLSL language, and built to the Shadertoy website APIs. None of them can be directly used in OBS without doing some programming work. OBS uses a custom variant of Microsoft's DirectX HLSL language roughly. They are two different languages however they look quite similar in syntax, and are about 75% compatible as an estimate. It is possible for a skilled shader developer to convert some (but not all) of the shaders on Shadertoy to be compatible either with one of the shader plugins that are available for OBS such as OBS Shaderfilter which is quite popular, or to be directly loaded via a LUA script or custom plugin written in C/C++. A large portion of the shaders that are in a single buffer on Shadertoy can be converted to run in one of these ways in OBS. Multi-buffer or other more complex shaders can not be loaded with the shader plugins and would require more complex programming in a custom OBS plugin to be able to work.

#

The shader plugins come with some example shaders that can be used by anyone as-is without needing to be a shader programmer, however there are very few addon shaders available for them out there that are ready to use beyond that, and not in any central place. The only other way to get shaders to work in OBS is to write them from scratch or convert them from Shadertoy, Shaderoo, GLsandbox or other similar sites, or if someone doesn't have the requisite skills, to possibly convince someone else to do it (or hire someone, such as on Fiverr or similar). Hope this helps.

regal breach
quiet bramble
#

Well for one, Shadertoy shaders are written in GLSL, and OBS uses DirectX on Windows. OBS does contain the ability to use OpenGL on Windows but it is intentionally disabled by default and officially unsupported. So one would have to manually enable it (commandline switch), then configure OBS to use OpenGL and then potentially have a downgraded experience, just to try to run GLSL shaders in OBS. It might be possible for someone to create a plugin that can directly load Shadertoy shaders that directly uses OpenGL anyway despite OBS using DirectX, but I've no idea if a program can use both graphics APIs simultaneously or not. Someone else who knows more about that might be able to weigh in.

#

Having never written an OpenGL nor DirectX app before, and having no knowledge of shader programming, I learned how to write shaders for OBS in its HLSL variant (bugs included) in about a week and then iterated on that over time, while simultaneously learning GLSL for Shadertoy and how to convert GLSL shaders to OBS for Shaderfilter. It typically takes anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour to convert any Shadertoy shader that is capable of being converted to OBS, with probably 20m or so being average.

#

Not sure there would be a lot of incentive for someone to develop a Shadertoy specific plugin, but it may be possible. I think what would be more interesting would be seeing OBS move to using Vulkan and writing to SPIR-V. My understanding the tools in the Vulkan stack for converting things are stronger, however I have no experience with that personally.

#

Quick google search suggests it is not possible to mix Direct3D and OpenGL together simultaneously in the same program at the same time.

#

(which is what I assumed)

Is there a plugin that lets you define multiple streaming outputs, with an easy way to switch between them? I currently stream on twitch, but I also want to try streaming on YouTube or kick, and if I switch my stream output to anything other than twitch, it forgets that I logged in to twitch when I come back. Is there a better way?

I often use several sources with color/chroma/luma key filters (not for removing the green screen, not for the webcam) and they leave a "ladder", or other small noise that I can not defeat in any way..

Everything I found on the forum — https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/apply-shader-effects-from-shadertoy-to-obs-with-obs-shader-effects.118544
I haven't been answered yet, but I assume that this is a non-working option

I'm really looking forward to any feedback, thank you...

Hi guys what would be better for high quality and no audio desync in the meantime that i cant buy a capture card, obs teleport or obs ndi or if there is a better one out there that serves the same purpose

Any reason you need to capture one PC to another?

#

spiral ruin
#

Personally, little gain for all the effort, plus dealing with the audio between the pcs. But if you are doing this to capture the game output, don't rely on a network connection unless you have gigabit network connections. Just get a good capture card with passthrough

Hey guys so I was searching through the list of free & paid plugins we have for OBS , and I couldn’t find one that will allow me to do real-time audio moderation ( beeping out the curse words within 1 second latency ) .

Can someone point me if I missed on something?
Personally feel it could be a very useful tool , what do you think ?

vapid charm
#

Unfortunately there isn't any realistic way to do that.

vagrant minnow
#

My finger latency to push a button to beep out a curse word is higher than one second.

vapid charm
#

As most "filtering" is done by the person saying said wordage or after the fact and not live.

Wow that’s pretty new ! I think it’s cleaning the stop words for now like ‘uhs’ , ‘uhms’ etc … can be extended to curse words too

#

i would recommend watching the video i linked

Another question - in what settings would most streamers find audio moderation useful ?

Hi! I'm the CleanStream plugin author - very happy to help with getting it set up and resolving any issues, like a crash or other problems
It's a new baby plugin 🚼 so it need love and care
Plus it's based on AI, so that only works 80% of the time right? 😅
Anyway, I'm here to help

☝️ @ruby lichen is awesome OBSHeart

ruby lichen
#

While everyone is here I have a question
I'm building another plugin right now and I want to know if it has any utility

The plugin will hide/blur sensitive text from your screen when screencasting.

I find myself many times screencasting (even at work, not online) and private information just pops up. Like private chats, or even logins! Maybe, bank account? Just stuff we don't want people to see but it's just open on our computers.
(one time I screencast a chat about the people I was in the meeting with 😅 , that was so bad)

Anyway
I could use your feedback on this idea. Anything good or bad, is appreciated

fossil wyvern
#

imagine making things because they're useful.... tsss. Art for art's sake is where it's at.

#

jokes aside, yeah could be decently useful, but how do you expect to know what's sensitive info?
Just trying to get it from visual context, or the user providing a list of their sensitive info theey don't ant displayed?

dusky basin
#

that sounds like something that could be useful but needs a big fat warning slapped on it to not rely on it and use it only for accidents

fossil wyvern
#

because I'm not sure nb°1 would be that reliable, and nb°2 could be potentially a massive risk in of itself

hallow vale
#

Ooh yeah. As an occasional user of display capture, I make sure my PC doesn't have notifications on for anything or else I use a fresh windows user profile

ruby lichen
#

You could also hide by region/mask. Any text outside the mask would all be hidden

Hi, I'm completely new to C development and I'm trying to figure out how to write a plugin for OBS Studio

I've modified the default plugin template a bit to try to add a source to OBS
But when I run cmake -S . -B build and then run make in the build directory, I get errors like this: /usr/local/include/obs/obs.h:1190:44: error: unknown type name ‘obs_source_enum_proc_t’

The obs.h file seems to be generated when I install obs-studio from the .deb file created by running CI/build-linux.sh -pkg in the git repo I cloned using git clone --recursive https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git

Could someone point me in the right direction?
Apologies if this is not the correct channel to ask this question

#

I also saw someone else had this same question a few years ago, but I don't think anyone answered?

# faint mural Hello, tell me — do you know palgin /shader anything to remove noise in the vide...

StreamFX has one for NVIDIA RTX hardware IIRC, however I don't know if there is a stable release of that for current OBS yet or not as I haven't been following OBS plugins for a few months. I don't think there are any other options existing out there for this however. If there is a specific Shadertoy shader you're curious about, if you link it here I will review it and give an assessment of whether it is possible to convert to OBS at the moment or not, and how much work it might take. Usually single-buffer shaders can be converted but not always, and multi-buffer ones can not be converted (but might be able to be developed into a standalone plugin by someone).

faint mica
ruby lichen
faint mica
#

Yes, I can see that
But the error still occurs when obs.h tries to use it
As I said, I'm very new to C, but it seems to me that this should be expected, since obs.h doesn't include obs-source.h, so there's no way it could have access to obs_source_enum_proc_t, which is defined in obs-source.h?

fossil wyvern
#

obs.h does include obs-source.h

regal breach
#

yeah the include statements are not contiguous

#

are you sure the error message is the same?

#

and you're running the build-linux.sh, not cmake commands alone, correct?

Here's one of the errors:

weird, your repo doesnt have github actions lol

i think that might be because it's a template, rather than a fork

Hmm, I forked it directly from the obs-plugintemplate repo
Do actions ever carry over when forking?

regal breach

see the download button shows as "Use this template"

a normal fork wouldn't

Hi👋.
I am using obs to stream to a rtmps server. I was wondering is there a way to make a request to my HTTP server when i click the stop stream button. I also want to include the stream key that was being user in the request so that my server can execute some custom logic.

I am new to obs. Any help would be much appreciated🙂

glacial haven
#

you can make it call a URL of your choice when the stream stopped

#

and I think it can also include variables there - the one thing I don't know is whether the stream key can be sent this way

#

as that is quite sensitive information

#

maybe someone with more knowledge about that plugin can help

#

that's the plugin

rugged dust
#

i actually prompted ChatGPT with the same info and it generated this lua script. Not sure if its correct though. What do you think? obs = obslua

function script_description()
return "Trigger actions on stream stop"
end

function script_properties()
local props = obs.obs_properties_create()
obs.obs_properties_add_button(props, "trigger", "Trigger Actions", trigger_actions)
return props
end

function trigger_actions(props, p)
-- Retrieve the stream key from OBS
local stream_key = obs.obs_frontend_get_streaming_key()

-- Construct the URL with the stream key parameter
local url = "http://your-server.com/stop-stream?key=" .. stream_key

-- Send an HTTP request to your server endpoint with the stream key in the URL
local request = obs.obs_data_create()
obs.obs_data_set_string(request, "url", url)
obs.obs_data_release(request)

end

obs.obs_register_source(script_description, "", script_properties)

glacial haven
#

without having looked at it in detail: ChatGPT doesn't know anything about the OBS coding ecosystem so in 99% of cases outputs garbage code for it

rugged dust
#

haha. Got it. Thanks

glacial haven
#

that said, the output above does at least look a bit better than what I have otherwise seen already so might at least be a starting point, but in the end you still have to learn some LUA coding yourself and start to understand what the script is doing, there is no shortcut to that

#

the people in #scripting could help you on this journey but be aware that you're not really making friends starting with "I got this script from ChatGPT" because everyone has made lots of bad experience with it 😛

rugged dust
#

I'll definitely keep that in mind

glacial haven
#

I am not even bashing ChatGPT here, I personally use it a lot for various tasks, it's just that it lacks the necessary specific OBS knowledge

rugged dust
glacial haven
#

if you're getting into plugin coding CoPilot is a better option, at least it's fully trained on the OBS GitHub repo and other relevant GH repos in the ecosystem, so it actually does have some useful OBS specific knowledge and sometimes surprises me how well it can even apply this knowledge to the C# plugin coding that I do (and as far as I know I am still the only one right now)

#

and it certainly should be great when working on C++ code, but that's not my cup of tea

#

(though of course it can also produce garbage at times)

rugged dust
fossil wyvern
#

yeah that script is complete bullshit

#

and I am bashing chatgpt

#

it's shit

mortal harbor
#

or, depending on your expectations, it is quite amazing.

ruby lichen
hallow vale
glacial haven
#

personally I think people streaming or recording should just train themselves to look into the camera in the right moments, otherwise it's just weird, that gaze correction only makes sense in video conferences where you want to see the other person at the same time - but I still think there will be enough demand for it to make people happy with such a plugin

#

and some people might actually use OBS with video conferencing, at some point in time I did, there is not only streaming and recording

hallow vale
#

You aren't wrong about training ourselves!

glacial haven
#

though I do think you could simply use it for fun, e.g. trigger it randomly for a second every time a new chat message appears on the Twitch chat, making it look like the streamer would react to every chat message, that would be hilarious 😄

hallow vale
#

OMG, this would be so fun!

glacial haven
#

I will try to remember and implement that idea in case such a plugin is released lul

#

actually, what could also be an interesting use case: combine that with gaze detection, so whenever the streamer looks at a separate screen (e.g. a vertical screen to their right or left) that shows the live chat the gaze is modified to be targeted at the camera, so whenever the streamer reads the chat it's like they really look at the viewer - I already simulated that by putting my chat window on a top monitor next to where the cam is sitting but others might not be able to have such a setup

#

but I don't know how good or weird it would look, certainly would be worth a try

glacial haven
#

does the API allow to not only center the gaze but also to direct it at arbitrary positions? - I am getting more ideas of how this could be exploited for fun 😛

ruby lichen
#

I'll start working on the plugin
And let's see what it could do.
Starting simple, and if there's demand we can implement more use cases

You mean something to control OBS with obs-websocket?

OBS Studio can be remote controlled via WebSocket and some apps that connect to it. For more information, including a list of compatible apps, see the Remote Control Guide.

To learn more about using the obs-websocket API in your script or application, see the Developer Guide or join the obs-websocket Discord server for support from the developers and community.

I have 3 playlists, but because of tunas limitations I can only do 1 main source, I was setting up last night so whenever scene 2 is visible, adv would change the playlist to 2, BUT that always resets the playlist, so I’m trying to see if I can check if 2 is already set, then do nothing, if it’s playlist 1, then change it to 2

#

Resets as in re-shuffles

Yeah but there’s a bug, I talked to him about it and he said he doesn’t feel like fixing it, if more then one it starts saying nothing is playing

more than one?

If you try to set it to pull titles from more then one VLC source

He changed something, so it defaults to blah, I can’t remember and not at pc atm, but it’s in the plug-in discussion forum, but my name is biofusion on there

#

you checked if changing the tuna settings with adv-ss instead of changing the source settings would work?

#

should be easier to do

Lol, nah I didn’t think of that

otherwise do a source settings check with regex, but you should probs have to ask warmuptill about the syntax of it, personally never got around to making it work

#

cant get below 1fps that way yea? the hope is a picture every 2-5 minutes, it's a week long project that got asked about last night of course....

regal breach
#

one way is to just not use the recording feature, but have adv-ss take a screenshot every 2-5mins

#

!sceneswitcher

oblique yewBOT
#

You can use powerful macros in OBS Studio using timers, cursor detection, window detection, and more to automate switching between scenes, toggle sources, and many other options.

To get started, install the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin and see the GitHub project wiki to learn how to use it.

regal breach
#

but you do have to add all screenshots to the video editor

fossil wyvern
storm stirrup
#

mm that's not awful though

#

not great but probably less bad if something breaks

#

oh.. fractional fps you say... hmmmmm forgot about that

regal breach
fossil wyvern
#

yee, once every two minutes would be 1/120

#

seems to work on my end

regal breach
#

great

#

thooooooo

#

the video would just be a frozen frame, no?

storm stirrup
#

yea that was going to be my question, is that a video of 1 frame for 2 minutes

regal breach
#

cause you have to keep track of time as well

fossil wyvern
#

oh yee you'd still need to change the video's fps in post

#

but that can probs be done in commandline decently easily?

storm stirrup
#

kinda suprised there isnt a straight plugin, what with like source recording plugins and snapshot timers and the like

#

it's enough to start me on it

regal breach
#

well the question is what format you would store such a video in

#

gif is bad

#

so i suppose the automatic screenshots method is better

fossil wyvern
#

ok yeah and that low a fps does cause some slight fuckery

#

seems there are a few things that hand till next tick

storm stirrup
#

well... i mean... pause recording works for the main recording, so like "add frame, pause, wait unpause, pause" though that might be a pain in the arse for an encoder in parallel but if it's the only encode going? ( no clue)

regal breach
#

i suppose that could work, but plugins have no way of preventing a frame from going in the output, i assume

storm stirrup
#

though i guess i can try that too with scene switcher

fossil wyvern
regal breach
#

which means, if a plugin does pause a recording, wait for a while, and unpause then pause shortly after, it may be two frames that slipped

storm stirrup
#

there might be if you combo the fractional framerate

#

😄

regal breach
#

interesting

#

still no

fossil wyvern
#

honestly, you'd be far far better off using adv-ss to screenshot every X and then assemble the frames into video. you can even have adv-ss do the assembling automatially

storm stirrup
#

so if your 1/120 frame endes up being unpaused for 3-5 frames or so.... eh....

#

yea tis what it sounds like

regal breach
#

it feels like you'd run into all sorts of issues

#

and you would actually have to unpause it before the frame should be saved

#

my programmer instincts are telling me not to explore that route

#

so yeah, just take screenshots

storm stirrup
#

heh, years ago in like windows xp i did it with some lil program no clue what it was

regal breach
#

one could make a plugin that automates this screenshot workflow, but it wouldn't be worth it, because adv-ss can do it

storm stirrup
#

with the built in laptop, this is a full pro camera in a mac rig over SDI so like... nothing compares to what i used then so it doesnt matter

#

i'd do this in macro yea? been a bit since i used adv-ss

fossil wyvern
#

yee

regal breach
#

but lol you won't have obs functionalities with it

#

unless you use the obs virtual camera with it

storm stirrup
#

mm i'm sure there are a few options out there but im run pc and work is mac so i was hoping for proof of concept with obs so i could walk in monday morning and just start it up, but ill keep that in mind

fossil wyvern
#

yee just use adv-ss, that'd be portable

storm stirrup
#

yep 🙂 cool active source + timer = screenshot source

#

woo

fossil wyvern
#

and then you can put another macro to excute a ffmpeg command at the end of recording, or on hotkey, that assembles all the pictures into a video

regal breach
#

you do have to keep in mind that you would have to set the fps

#

so you need to calculate how much time speed up you need

storm stirrup
#

i've tried coding for ffmpeg and it goes horribly wrong most of the time, if you wanted to give me that code i'd love it, otherwise we have premiere and davinchi at work on that same mac rig so it would be pretty simple
