lean roost
#

this is my second computer

vale vine
#

Does the obs preview on the game/sending pc have an image?

lean roost
#

sry i was on the phone

#

ok so my obs on gaming pc shows gameplay but when i get on my streaming pc it has a blank screen

#

so first url is my gaming pc

#

second url is my streaming pc

#

what do you guys see in the specs

#

i would like to resolve this problem today bc i have been going on 3-4days without streaming and i kinda wanna stream today if i can get it back up and running

#

thank you for all the help if someone helps solve this problem

regal breach
#

this has a very old version of teleport

#

they have to be the same version

lean roost
#

i should update teleport?

#

ill do anything to try to fix it just help step me thru it

#

can someone add me and call me on discord?

#

All support in this server is done in public, to help make sure support information is accurate, and can be intercepted if bad information is given.

#

And support in private can become a moderation nightmare.

lean roost
#

what your trying to say is someone that might help me private wont get the job done?

#

very good information on old version of teleport but i need to make sure i am doing it correctly before i just go ahead and start downloading shit

#

link on new teleport?

lament leaf
lean roost
#

oh ok

#

makes sense

lament leaf
#

Regardless, going off what Yan said, there is the teleport link to download. Download the installer for the version to get the out of date one up to date to match the other one and run it.
I don't use dual pc setup, so someone else would have to help with the actual setup.

lean roost
#

im guessing i need to delete the old teleport

tbh this is so difficult and stressing me out lol

regal breach
#

which one is the "source" pc?

lean roost
#

first one

#

second one is streaming pc

#

first one is gaming pc

regal breach
#

are you sure you selected the correct obs path during the installation

#

and make sure obs is closed during installation of plugin

#

i may sound repetitive but we can't get anywhere til you get them at the same version

lean roost
#

no your good dude

#

your helping

#

im just getting very lost on tryin to do what your asking

#

trying to figure out how to link it or update it on that pc. without going on a youtube video and figuring out how teleport worked again

regal breach
#

download windows installer here

lean roost
oblique yewBOT
regal breach
#

extract the zip, then run the windows installer

image.png
#

yep, that worked

lean roost
#

did something changed?

regal breach
#

it is now updated

#

now take a screenshot of Tools > Teleport on the gaming pc

lean roost
oblique yewBOT
regal breach
#

alright now delete all existing teleport sources on the streaming pc and add a new one

#

then show me the possible options in the dropdown list

lean roost
regal breach
#

!screenshot please take screenshots the right way, it is increasingly getting harder to look at them

oblique yewBOT
lean roost
#

Oh

#

Duhhhh

#

Ok

regal breach
#

open properties of teleport source and take a screenshot of the possible options

lean roost
#

trying do it on my other computer also

fossil wyvern
#

keep port at 0

untold jay
#

Are firewalls disabled on both ends?

lean roost
#

i believe so

regal breach
#

we want a confirmation of that please

#

also tell me how they are connected to the internet

#

both wired?

lean roost
#

where do i go to show that.

#

both wired

regal breach
#

same router?

lean roost
#

yes

#

2 different wires

regal breach
lean roost
#

So my streaming pc i cant find where my screenshot file is

regal breach
#

winkey + shift + s, then paste into discord

#

you don't need to find where it is

lean roost
#

learning something ":D

#

lol

#

thats pretty cool how to paste tho

regal breach
#

ctrl+v

#

im confused why you are taking screenshots of those settings tho

#

the article i linked to shows how to turn it on or off

lean roost
#

im getting to what you need i was testing something

regal breach
#

you don't need a screenshot for each step

lean roost
regal breach
lean roost
#

so turning them off

#

what im reading correct

regal breach
#

yes

#

turn it off

lean roost
#

restart obs ?

regal breach
#

yeah

#

disable firewall on both pcs

lean roost
#

i did

#

still black screen

oblique yewBOT
lean roost
oblique yewBOT
lean roost
#

thanks for the help guys im sorry this is very difficult

regal breach
#

double click the Teleport source on the streaming pc and take a screenshot of the possible options

#

this is the third time i asked for this and you still haven't provided it

#

i'm not asking for the one in the Tools menu

lean roost
regal breach
#

click the dropdown and screenshot

lean roost
regal breach
#

then press oK

lean roost
#

still black screen

fossil wyvern
lean roost
#

from gaming pc

#

so gaming pc shows gameplay but its when its teleport to streaming pc that has black screen

#

im not an expert on my computer, i know somewhat about what im doing and im still learning new things. now if im doing something wrong i need to fix that

regal breach
#

screenshot gaming pc main window

fossil wyvern
lean roost
#

teleport source

#

when i take it out of teleport it pops up

fossil wyvern
lean roost
#

this is my streaming pc

regal breach
# lean roost

double click the teleport source and screenshot again

lean roost
regal breach
#

this is the "teleport source"

image.png
#

are you sure you disabled the firewall on both pc?

lean roost
regal breach
#

and the other?

lean roost
#

do i need to turn off domain and private too?

regal breach
#

worth a try, then restart both obs

lean roost
#

after i do that should i restart both pc?

#

or just restart obs

regal breach
#

just obs

lean roost
oblique yewBOT
lean roost
oblique yewBOT
lean roost
#

black screen still

regal breach
#

i'm completely stumped

lean roost
#

right me too i had done so many youtube videos trying to figure out this

#

and then i found obs discord community and you guys have been very helpful just an headache trying to figure out whats going on

regal breach
lean roost
#

i turn all of them off

regal breach
#

@proud relic might you be able to see what other troubleshooting step we missed?

  • Verified gaming pc has teleport enabled
  • Same teleport version
  • Firewalls disabled
  • Gaming pc now appears in the teleport source's list, but shows no video.
fossil wyvern
#

why ping tuna?

regal breach
#

seemed to be the plugin author

lean roost
#

thank you guys for helping

fossil wyvern
#

oh indeed not same name but same pfp. didn't know it was theirs

untold jay
#

@lean roost Some routers have a "guest" network which is isolated from the rest, where PCs may not be able to see each other. Find out your PCs' internal IPs with ipconfig, then ping one another, see if pings come through.

regal breach
#

wouldn't it be a given that they can ping each other if they appear in the teleport source list?

fossil wyvern
#

afaik if it was that then the computer wouldn't see each other's teleport stream

#

here, they detect the stream but it's black

lean roost
#

yeah if they appear in teleport source list it should be pinging each other

#

i had an update on obs and my pc and then when i updated it and when i went to stream it was black.

fossil wyvern
lean roost
#

i been streaming almost everyday with no problem till i updated it

regal breach
#

gtg hope you get to solve your issue

lean roost
untold jay
#

I'm out of ideas. Try NDI instead, maybe?

lean roost
regal breach
#

np

fossil wyvern
lean roost
#

ok trying that

#

i thought about deleting everything and restarting but that be my last option

fossil wyvern
#

?

lean roost
#

on the gaming OBS
disable the teleport output under "tools" (done that )
add a teleport filter to a source, start it (streaming obs or gaming obs?)

on the streaming obs
change the teleport source to recieve from that filter

#

if i add a teleport filter to streaming obs where is my link from gaming pc ?

fossil wyvern
#

second step is gaming obs still

#

teleport filter is a teleport output

#

it outputs the video of the scene it's on

lean roost
fossil wyvern
#

filter

#

not source

lean roost
#

ok where is filter?

oblique yewBOT
# lean roost ok where is filter?

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.

lean roost
#

looks like this?

fossil wyvern
#

well, yes, but on a video source

#

this is an audio-only source

lean roost
#

wait i notice if u click a different source it brings up a different filter

fossil wyvern
#

yeah, filters are per-source

lean roost
#

which filter im looking for? cause i click game capturn or display capture and it doesnt pop up no teleport in options

fossil wyvern
#

show me the ootions that pop up?

lean roost
fossil wyvern
#

do it on the video capture device source

lean roost
#

so i read what he sent

#

on the gaming OBS
disable the teleport output under "tools"
add a teleport filter to a source, start it

on the streaming obs
change the teleport source to recieve from that filter

#

add a teleport

fossil wyvern
#

no, not on a teleport source

lean roost
#

gotcha

fossil wyvern
#

remove that teleport source, and do it on the video capture device source

lean roost
#

just a thought i was playing around trying to see what else maybe

fossil wyvern
#

the teleport source is a reciever it has nothing to do on the sending pc

lean roost
#

so that is my webcam if you could see

#

i breed bearded dragons if you guys wondering whats in those tanks behind me

fossil wyvern
#

yes add a video teleport filter

lean roost
#

not on effect filter correct

fossil wyvern
#

yes, now give it an identifier and press apply

lean roost
#

what do yall recommend in quality

#

its set on 90

#

port 0

untold jay
#

Don't touch it while still troubleshooting.

lean roost
#

ok i apply didnt do anything maybe closing it out

#

probably next step is streaming pc eh?

fossil wyvern
#

ok, now go to the streaming pc and set the teleport source to capture the filter you just set

thanks. a weird thing i found was refresh rate of monitor was 59Hz alto i imagine that's also prolly not important

lean roost
#

i have been running teleport for about 2 years now

#

and never had a big problem till now

#

love using obs

regal breach
#

this happened as soon as you updated obs to 29.1.3, was it?

lean roost
#

yes

regal breach
#

!releases try to install 29.1.2

oblique yewBOT
lean roost
#

literally 4-5 days ago i just been so busy with work and havent gotten deep into it to solve the issue

regal breach
#

on both pcs

proud relic
#

my testbed with network setups is very limited. so many connection on the same network range - i'm not sure if there may be issues. however if the log shows the coonnect and connected lines i guess there should be a usebale connection

#

weird output color space and encoding or decoding fails? is there noticable bandwidth usage in task manager?

lean roost
regal breach
#

no need

lean roost
#

before doing old patch

proud relic
#

seing network bandwidth shpould confirm transmission is at least done. why it does not show anyting would still be figured out

lean roost
#

well

#

i love you guys

#

so the new teleport doesnt work but i link back the old teleport thru tools and it back live on streaming pc

#

old patch did the trick

#

so new patch as a bug in it

#

o.o

regal breach
#

@proud relic might be interested in this

#

i wonder if it's not because of the obs version, but because obs was reinstalled

proud relic
#

i dunno.. does it work for you on the latest obs?

regal breach
#

i haven't tried it yet, been a long time since i last used teleport

#

since i now use a cap card

# lean roost 29.1.2

so you didn't downgrade teleport, but only downgraded obs. are you willing to spend a bit of time installing obs 29.1.3 again? you could downgrade back to 29.1.2 again afterwards with no worries. just wanna know if it's a definite problem with the latest obs release

lean roost
#

all this is info coming from streaming pc

#

yes i can do that. can i play for 2 hours and try that when my son wakes up

regal breach
#

yes, no rush

#

can even do it tom if you like

lean roost
#

i try to play video games when he asleep lol

#

no i wanna test and help

#

i like obs and i would like to give feedback and try

#

feel free to stop by the stream and i will get back with you guys in a few hours to try installing new patch

Hello guys, sorry for bothering but I would like help, I am looking for a viewer counter in the obs application, that cannot be seen live, only I want t see it in the same application, I don't know if I make myself understand what I am looking for..

In short, a window attached to the obs with the viewer counter, so I know how many are watching :3

Is this the correct channel to ask this? sorry if i was wrong

CodeYan, dont want to ping you, but all that fun stuff we talked about for how to use adv-ss for timelapse... welp.... the mac that has the devices is on 10.15.7 and i can't update it or it breaks the primary function of the computer, so im stuck with obs 24.0.6, also couldnt seem to get an older version of adv-ss to ever show up after i installed it. anyhoo, if there are any other thoughts that would be great otherwise i'm just going to have to record and hope i have space ect and do it from video

10.15 should be able to run obs 29.0.2?

Is there a random color correction plug-in in the filter? What is the name of this plugin in OBS, I want to download and use it

hard jay
#

the color correction filter is part of OBS, you don't have to download anything.

#

I don't know what those extra options are though.

#

I'm not sure why you'd want to randomly apply settings though.

Sorry Fenrir, but to add context, in #windows-support the same user says it is a modified OBS called Kung Fu Live, but also says it is pirated.

Do we have filters to adjust and modify colors in real time?

but, sure I guess?

We don't support unofficial builds, so you'll need to reach out to whoever you got it from @mortal harbor

lament leaf

I don't know either, just thought the information would help.

hard jay
#

It did, thanks, heh

mortal harbor
#

Can you understand this picture?

#

Thx Argo!

hard jay
#

I have no idea where that's from, that doesn't appear to be any kind of filter that we provide, or that is on our forums.

#

If you're using some weird fork of OBS, you'll need to contact whoever developed it and ask for assistance.

limber cypress
#

where can i find a tool that shows current stream duration?
(without some dumb hack like writing into a text file to make a countdown timer run backwards every time you start stream or playing a 10 hour video in vlc or something else similarly stupid)

#

hopefully as input to a text source somehow

#

and/or if something that basic doesn't exist somehow, how do i start making one?

untold jay
#

@limber cypress You could alter countdown.lua which obs-studio ships with to count up instead of down, but you'd have to manually reset the counter when you start streaming.

limber cypress
#

you would think "how long have i been recording/streaming for?" is a very common question and would have been addressed by now

untold jay
#

For you to see, yes, but to show to viewers, apparently not.

lament leaf
#

Doesn't twitch already show how long you have been streaming? On desktop it is below the player, on mobile it is on the player itself.. or am I just misunderstanding?
Totally assuming you're talking about twitch from your profile.

What capture card would you recommend for a Macbook user who wants to record gameplay footage of switch games for a video game review webseries they are making? I'm only asking because the capture card I am using lags a lot, and it is annoying. I thought it was a problem with the recording software, but now I realize it isn't.

I am 80gb ram,rtx3070 8gb gpu, i11 running at 4.6 and 20 terribyte hard drive. 1 gb download and about 50 upload speed at all times. I had OBS 28 version and had very small problems, upgraded to 29 for the new filter and other features and it is dropping 75-95 percent encoding frame. its set to nvidia x264, the only options, Can I go back to 28 or someone know the solution. I even allowed it through the surcurity and antivirus and made no different. I am disabled and I am doing I need a little extra money every month, none yet, but how can I fix ths. p.s. I run it in administrator

PSA to all plugin builders, the OBS team have release an overhaul of the plugin template https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate with a lot of streamlining to the CI and code
consider merging into your projects

NOTE: according to our experiments the new build system does not work with OBS 28.x dependencies. if you want to use the new system you'll have to bump to 29.1+, which means your plugin will be supported only in obs v29.1+

hey i had this problem of my source record plugin a couple weeks ago creating a static sound but it turned out it was out of date (i didnt realise, someone here noticed it) so i updated & its been working but just now ive gone to review a a few recordings & the static is back

Theres no new update

master file audio is fine, just source record files

We were referred over here from the audio -support area. Hoping you all can assist.

This is in regards to the special Twitch VOD capability that's an add-on in OBS for Twitch.

Is there a way to support this same kind of Audio Stream segmentation for other services beyond Twitch?

The lua script is here, which is the enablement to make this happen, but the Twitch VOD option only appears if you select to Stream to Twitch.

https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-multitrack-stream/tree/master

We'd like to support this same capability on our service, but we're uncertain if we need to bulld yet another plugin, if this one can be enabled for targets other than Twitch, or if this capability will be a standard feature within OBS without specificity toward Twitch.

In short, instead of Twitch VOD as an option, we'd simply like a Alternate VOD capability that works for any service.

Any suggestions?

hard jay
#

afaik the vod track is just additional metadata

fading plank
#

I agree, it is, but it's not placed there unless the Twitch VOD option is available for enablement and configuration under the Audio selection area.
Unfortunately, the Twitch VOD option disappears unless you have Stream set to Twitch. If you pick any other destination, it disappears.

If you don't have the ability to configure which audio tracks appear in this optional and additional audio stream on the RTMP output, it won't work, and without the Twitch VOD option activated, we can't do it.

We want that option there all the time, regardless of what you pick under Stream as your destination, so it will work with any network, even Custom.

#

What we'd like is that the option is always there, always available in OBS, doesn't go away - and maybe if the Stream destination is Twitch, it reads "Twitch VOD" to help others understand, and for any other destination, it's simply "VOD Only Audio" or something to that effect.

wary escarp
#

You can enable it for custom, it's just an undocumented setting I believe

fading plank
#

Yay, and what is the "undocumented setting"? ๐Ÿ˜‰

wary escarp
#

I'm checking

#

Looks like you need to set the EnableCustomServerVodTrack in the General section of the settings to true

#

you can access the settings config via obs_frontend_get_global_config

fading plank
#

Awesome, I'll look it up. You rock. Just for clarity, that feature basically adds a secondary audio stream to the RTMP output and it labels that Stream # as Stream #5 or #6?

wary escarp
fading plank
#

Ok, we'll parse the output and figure it out. I appreciate your help.

# wary escarp I do not know the answer to that question

Hey @wary escarp one other question... we're running on Mac, latest nightly, we found the global.ini under Library/Application Support/obs-studio and can make the change, but every time we run OBS, that file gets updated (by OBS) and removes the very setting we added.

Is there some kind of boot up procedure for mac that causes OBS to merge settings from elsewhere and overwrite changes to the global.ini?

We can't seem to make it stick!

opal tangle
hard jay
#

Thank you for the offer, but I will decline for now.

fading plank
wary escarp
#

no need to do that via the file itself

opal tangle
#

Such people should be very helpful

#

And your answers are really not

hard jay
#

I'm sorry you feel that way, but "I don't like the answer" is not the same as "Not professional"

#

This attitude is exactly why I'm not interested in allowing you back on our resource listings.

fading plank
hard jay
#

I will ask you to accept that and move on please, you're cluttering the channel from people trying to get help.

wary escarp
#

one sec, I'll have to re-read

opal tangle
fading plank
#

I assumed it would simply read it from the global.ini and set the flag so it would appear. I know the plugin is installed and works whem Stream is set to Twitch. The issue is when OBS starts, it overwrites the global.ini on Mac, and removes the settings. Strange.

Screen_Shot_2023-06-28_at_3.33.36_PM.png
#

Wondering if this function is overwriting it...

{
    bool enableForCustomServer = config_get_bool(
        GetGlobalConfig(), "General", "EnableCustomServerVodTrack");
    bool enableVodTrack = ui->service->currentText() == "Twitch";
    bool wasEnabled = !!vodTrackCheckbox;

    if (enableForCustomServer && IsCustomService())
        enableVodTrack = true;

    if (enableVodTrack == wasEnabled)
        return;

    if (!enableVodTrack) {
        delete vodTrackCheckbox;
        delete vodTrackContainer;
        delete simpleVodTrack;
        return;
    }
#

Looks to me it should hold it, and I think it would, but it overwrites the global.ini on run of the application on Mac, hence it's no longer in the global.ini.

wary escarp
#

What you're describing does indeed sound like an OBS bug

fading plank
#

I even tried to make the file read-only, it still overwrites it and changed the permissions.

wary escarp
#

I'll have to look into it

fading plank
#

I was wondering if on Mac, the actual settings were instead stored elsewhere, and then were used to create the global.ini on launch, but no idea.

opal tangle
# opal tangle That is also a bit weird. Giving just an opinion is really not allowed without c...

Oh and btw @hard jay there are still resources on the OBS forums that have similar functionality and an almost similar name and contributed to the bad name our resource got. The confusion among users because of the similar names and bad service led to a lot of negative feedback, however their service is almost total garbage. I still get daily messages from confused users who think I own the resource with the similar name that is still up on the OBS forums and complain about the bad service.

fading plank
#

Hey @wary escarp I figured it out...

The issue was that the global.ini, by default, sets "FirstRun=true" and I suspect that rebuilds the global.ini on every launch. I set it to false, saved the value, it held.

I think. Once I launched, it set FirstRun=true again, but it's not overwriting the value this time on every launch. Maybe it does some kind of imprint. No idea. But I have it configured.

#

It is really not that fair and frustrating to get those messages every day

wary escarp
#

yeah I couldn't reproduce it either

#

glad you figured it out though

fading plank
# wary escarp I'll have to look into it

Interestingly, even though we have it configured, the RTMP output doesn't include the additional stream, so wondering if there's another filter in there preventing that from working per the flag. Analyzing the source now.

wary escarp
#

I'd have to defer to other people on where you would find the audio stream

#

as I'm not familiar with the feature unfortunately

fading plank
#

My assumption is we could probe the RTMP ingest point, which we're doing, and we should see two audio streams and one video stream.

#

But we only get one of each right now...

 Duration: 00:00:00.00, start: 4.800000, bitrate: N/A
  Stream #0:0: Audio: aac (LC), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 163 kb/s
  Stream #0:1: Video: h264 (Baseline), yuv420p(tv, bt709, progressive), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 8192 kb/s, 60 fps, 60 tbr, 1k tbn
wary escarp
#

I believe it's a bit of a hack using metadata instead of a "normal" stream, but that's all I know

fading plank
#

I think the meta data likely identiifies which stream is for the VoD, but we'd still expect both to be in the RTMP send.

fading plank
#

Well, there are some other hidden values required in there, but still no joy.
The values we had to add were..

EnableCustomServerVodTrack=true

[AdvOut]
TrackIndex=0
VodTrackEnabled=true
VodTrackIndex=2

but it still doesn't output the multi-track audio.

There's a compile option that requires ...

#define OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK (1 << 4)
#define OBS_OUTPUT_CAN_PAUSE (1 << 5)
#define OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK_AUDIO OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK
#define OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK_VIDEO (1 << 6)
#define OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK_AV \
    (OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK_AUDIO | OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK_VIDEO)

but that also looks correct. No idea what we're missing. I think we'll attempt to send to Twitch, tap their RTMP directly, see if we get a different result.

fossil wyvern
#

@fading plank since you're writing a script, you'll actually be able to change the config file from within the script so that users don't have to manually do it, starting with the next obs release

#

in the meantime you can do shenanigans with ffi to have the same but I'd disadvise that

fading plank
#

I don't really want to write a script. I just want to configure my OBS to send a second VOD audio stream in the RTMP output, and have the configuration of that capability be dead simple.

So far, it hasn't been.

fossil wyvern
#

yeah, the "vod track" of rtmp is honestly an absolutely dirty hack

fading plank
#

It's a great idea and feature though, clearly added to address a big problem today with live vs vod streaming, and DMCA, and all that jazz, which is why we have interest, but yeah, I can see it might not be fully vetted or mapped out as a broader feature as of yet.

obsidian agate
#

as far as I am aware, it is completely non-standard, and just piggybacks the VOD audio thru the meta data.

fading plank
#

I don't see how that's possible. There's a specific meta-data code to identify a stream in what is essentially FLV / MP4, and I would think it would simply add a stream to the multiplexer on the FLV generation on RTMP output, which would mean we should be able to interrogate it and see the stream. I do believe the meta data layer likely identifies which of the two audio streams is VOD or not, and we see the meta-data there, but there is no second audio stream, and hence no additional meta-data with labels for the vod designation.

As of yet, we have not been able to configure OBS to send 2 audio streams on the output, even though we seem to have it configured properly from a UX standpoint.

Something else is preventing that from happening for a Custom stream.

I guess I'll have to find the author of that feature and inquire as to the specifics on how to validate that the VOD audio channel is present.

#

What I "expected" to see was an RTMP output that has meta-data, 2 audio streams, 1 video stream, and in the meta-data, one of the audio streams has some kind of tag to indicate it's the vod one (likely just a string value in there). All that does to the upstream system is simply identify which of the 2 audio streams to align with the video. It should be easy to do upstream. Getting the RTMP output right is also not that complex. Configuring OBS to generate that output seems daunting in this exception case (not Twitch).

But again, who knows, maybe they decided to nest in the audio in some other manner, like literally multiplexing the audio fragments in the single audio stream itself, and Twitch has magic up there to parse it in a non-standard way.

Shouldn't be that crazy though.

fossil wyvern
fading plank
#

So you're saying they are using some other "channel" supported in RTMP, that's not the primary audio or video stream (which is expected with FLV) and layering in the audio data there instead?

#

You're right, that would be the hack of the century.

fossil wyvern
#

yeah, which afaik, is the metadata

obsidian agate
#

yep

hard jay
#

It's not really a hack

#

the metadata channel has no restrictions on what can be sent alongside the main stream

#

It's up to the sender and the receiver to agree what that data is

fading plank
#

wouldn't we see the meta-data information in the RTMP probe, even with ffprobe?

hard jay
#

Twitch wrote something specific to their ingest to handle it.

#

Highly doubtful.

fossil wyvern
hard jay
#

You'd just see that there's some extra channel, maybe, but not anything specifying contents I don't think. I'm not super familiar with ffprobe.

#

There is no out-of-the-box tool that is going to work with twitch vod track

#

you're going to have to write some kind of custom ingest that understands what to do with the metadata, and how to handle it.

fading plank
#

So similar to having frame level meta-data accompany a stream (CC data, other info, etc), they could package up their audio fragments as meta-data samples and let it go along for the ride.

hard jay
#

pretty much, yes

#

since you can't send it with the main stream, the codec doesn't support it

fading plank
#

Got it. Yuck.

hard jay
#

You'd probably be much, much better off at this point working on supporting ERTMP

#

Which adds additional format support that just had multichannel capabilities.

#

Or just switching to something like SRT, RIST, or WebRTC.

#

RTMP is a dying protocol.

fading plank
#

Well we support WebRTC, trying now to get it out of OBS gracefully with WHIP in fact, but every streamer on the planet is locked into RTMP out of OBS at this point. Not going away anytime soon.

hard jay
#

I can say with absolute full confidence that streamers do not care in the slightest what protocol is being used.

fading plank
#

Does OBS support multi-channel audio over an SRT channel today

hard jay
#

Yup.

#

And over ERTMP

#

And RIST, and WHIP (if you grab a nightly for the latter there)

fading plank
#

So we could have an SRT or ERTMP ingest point, split out the audio there, marry it up to the video, have it go down our network in two directions - live vs vod recording.

hard jay
#

I thought that was merged already, my mistake.

#

Once that is merged, it should allow for multi-track.

#

Very close on the horizon, at least.

fading plank
#

So I'd need an SRT ingestion server, with the ability to combine the audio tracks properly, and either push that out on the backside in RTMP or SRT or both.

#

Thinking server side now. My options.

hard jay
#

AFAIK the video would just be sent with multiple tracks because the formats support it.

#

The issue with RTMP is that it restricts to FLV, and FLV as a spec only supports a single track.

#

That's why you have to send the audio separately for twitch vod.

fading plank
#

Yeah, but to multistream it, which we also do, we'd need to convert the multi-track SRT into a single RTMP for them.

hard jay
#

SRT you can send mp4, or mkv, or whatever

#

And then just use normal tools to split out which tracks you want

#

well, I say "normal" but, since you have a file that actually supports the feature, it's a bit easier, heh

#

I'm not sure if anything does it out of the box at the moment.

fading plank
#

Yeah, me either. Wondering if ffmpeg or gstreamer could help, we then build a custom one in Rust.

#

I would bet I could get close with a gstreamer pipeline as a prototype, then we build that into a hardened server.
We'd have to hard-code the vod audio track designation on our side, at least to the creator/channel so we know how to handle.
But in theory, we get multi-channel audio over SRT, into us, we break it apart, rebuild in the proper pairs, push back out RTMP or SRT depending, and golden.
In theory.

#

I assume we can use an srt:// identifier on a Custom setup as well, correct? No limitations there in OBS at present.

#

Appreciate the guidance @hard jay.

hard jay
#

Yes, should work in custom output.

#

Though actually SRT/RIST might only do mpegts now that I think about it? But, irrelevant as it's just implementation detail more than anything.

wow, I don't know whether it's the best idea to start with a 3000 lines filter for your first attempt ๐Ÿ˜„

dunno whether this can cause the error message you get, but .id is definitely meant to be unique, I don't know what happens, if you try to register this ID twice, so you should pick your own

drowsy saddle
#

you're not wrong, but I'm stubborn, and this has 90% of the base I want to work with ๐Ÿ™‚

glacial haven
#

it's not only that specific filter, it's also part of a bigger suite of filters all in that plugin, and I guess you only want that one?

drowsy saddle
#

yeah I basically want to write a filter that uses the Nvidia AR sdk to to face landmark tracking. That filter does a very similar thing

glacial haven
#

and did you start by removing the filters you don't need from the plugin? because otherwise you will have even more of ID conflicts, for each one of them

#

so you should only do obs_register_source(&nvidia_move_filter); but not the others

drowsy saddle
#

I've basically taken just that filter and its needed files and put it into a new project

glacial haven
#

yeah, but the nvidia move filter will rely on certain things in the move-transition base code file I'd assume, for example the settings properties including matching locales it registers there

drowsy saddle
#

the matching locals might be biting me. I figured if hte code compiled it would be fine

glacial haven
#

nah, locales and properties is runtime stuff

drowsy saddle
#

In my log file I see Failed to load 'en-US' text for module: 'mymodule'

I can also see that the create method IS being called (because the log message works) but that it doesn't finish

#

(and thanks for the help)

glacial haven
#

yeah, for the time being you could just copy the "move-transition" locales to a "mymodule" folder

#

since your module has its own ID it also searches the locales under this ID

#

so wherever your "move-transition" folder is that contains the "locale" folder, copy that in place and rename to "mymodule"

#

not sure whether the NV filter also uses the effect file in the effects folder, might as well copy that too for now

#

but actually I think you should start by also using the move-transition.c/.h files and step by step remove all code and references to the filters that you don't need - that's going to be easier than figuring out what's missing when starting with base module source from scratch

drowsy saddle
#

sure

glacial haven
#

first thing being to remove all the obs_register_source() calls for the filters and sources you don't need, then see what other references you can remove without getting errors

drowsy saddle
#

good call I'll start there and see where that takes me

#

Don't know why I didn't htink to start there when I started running into issues ๐Ÿ˜›

glacial haven
#

and of course change the unique IDs wherever you find them in these files

#

you're a bit unlucky there that this one filter you need is part of such a big and mighty suite ๐Ÿ˜‰

drowsy saddle
#

I'm trying to build that whole plugin in tree (since the standalone build only has a guide for linux). But when I try to configure the cmake I get hte following error
CMake Error at plugins/obs-move-transition/CMakeLists.txt:90 (setup_plugin_target):
Unknown CMake command "setup_plugin_target".

glacial haven
#

that function is defined in ObsPluginHelpers.cmake

regal breach

#

well that generates a different error. Thank you all so much for helping

you know i think it would be much easier if you run .github/scripts/Build-Windows.ps1

#

the one in the move transition folder

drowsy saddle

Would you believe...new issue? Looks like a failing dependency

#

lets see if it works though

regal breach
#

well if you remove it, then threading functions won't work on windows

drowsy saddle
#

that makes sense

regal breach
drowsy saddle
#

well it builds... it didn't work, I tried putting in a pthreads library and I don't think thats working either

#

but it did build with it

#

trying to figure it out still

regal breach
#

what do you mean by it didn't work?

drowsy saddle
#

like it all loads, but the face tracking doesn't work, which is partly related to the pthreads I think (since its used tos spawn the face detection thread)

weak escarp
#

if I read all correctly you are trying to get nvidia ar working, you don't need threads for that

drowsy saddle
#

indeed I am exeldro

#

also thanks for the great example.

Yeah I want to be able to run the AR landmark code on a source and extract the 68/128 landmark points

weak escarp
#

yeah you should be able to use parts of the move plugin, mainly nvidia-move-filter.c

drowsy saddle
#

I initially tried to just pull that file over with nvar-load.h But I was running into an issue where it was failing to create source

#

Right now I'm running into an issue where When I build from source the tracking isn't working. If I donwload hte prebuilt it works, so something is clearly wrong on my compilation end

drowsy saddle
#

good news, figured out my create source issue. It was due to not running load_nvar. Now I'm trying to figure out if the landmark code is actually running

mortal harbor
#

first step would be to update OBS to the current version, 29.1.3.

fossil wyvern
#

yeah, input overlay requires obs 28 at the very least

mighty condor
oblique yewBOT
mighty condor
#

aight

#

i tried useinging the github exe, is it the right one?

mortal harbor
#

that would be the correct one.

mighty condor
#

hmmm

#

im not sure what im doing wrong

fossil wyvern
mighty condor
#

C:/ProgramFiles/

fossil wyvern
mighty condor
#

yes

#

im assuming i should use the 86

mortal harbor
#

can you actually verify you downloaded and installed the exact installer i linked?

#

and no, you should use x64.

mighty condor
mighty condor
mortal harbor
#

it isn't even attempting to load in the OBS log which would mean it's not installed to the right location.

mighty condor
oblique yewBOT
mighty condor
#

aight

#

so do i uninstall and reinstall in the recomended place?

fossil wyvern
mighty condor
#

yes

#

it woks

#

i reinstalled the overlay program

#

thx

is there any tool to plug in my keyboard/electric piano via MIDI to OBS?

fossil wyvern

do what?

static kindle
fossil wyvern
#

how does the piano make sound?
is it a synthetizer of its own? or just a midi controller which you use to control a synthetizer program on your computer

static kindle
fossil wyvern
#

so it's plugged in your controler and used to control a synthetizer program?

static kindle
fossil wyvern
static kindle
fossil wyvern
#

you're using a synthetizer program on the computer to turn the midi inputs into actual sounds?

static kindle
fossil wyvern

there's a shitton of them and I'm honestly not qualified to recommend any, sorry

static kindle
fossil wyvern
#

sorry can't do more

static kindle

its fine, i'll find one dw

gritty perch
#

is there currently a plugin to extract audio data in real time (to perform some kind of speech to text on or something similar)

#

like as the streamer is streaming?

regal breach
gritty perch
#

ok nice thats the one i'm working on now

#

What is the best OS for doing OBS/twitch development?

regal breach
#

what are you trying to do?

gritty perch
#

i mean real-time audio manipulation

#

that involves parsing text from stream audio in real time

#

and I'm thinking it would be better to do the audio extraction on the streamer-side at the OBS point

regal breach
#

using what library?

#

sorry i need more context

#

but any OS that you're comfortable with is fine

#

windows and mac are probably the obvious ones

regal breach
#

and yes it's in that branch, not master

gritty perch
#

or non-real-time i guess might be better wording

#

streaming vs video file

regal breach
#

the big models will be more accurate but will require more resources

regal breach
#

basically realtime but with a bit of delay ofc

gritty perch
#

gotcha. Is the simplicity the main selling point or the different models you can use

#

or something else i'm missing

regal breach
#

main selling point i'd say is it's free compared to google api

#

because i don't wanna pay

gritty perch
#

what api does it use?

#

for stt

regal breach
gritty perch
#

oop haha

#

nice i'm not familiar with that. are the results comparable

regal breach
#

my experience with the simple english model is that it is fairly okay, but you will notice some errors here and there

#

i haven't tried the large english models, but i'm sure they'll be more accurate

#

with some sentences im actually surprised the simple english model can recognize it correctly

#

the large models can be loaded on a separate pc/server and the client would just treat that kinda like google api, but i have not done anything on my plugin to try to connect to such a vosk server

#

i don't really plan on competing with the existing google api captions plugins, that will probably be your best bet for less load on your pc and accuracy

#

i only wrote the vosk filter for research purposes

#

and well the code is more straightforward if you're going to take it as an example for speech recognition

gritty perch
#

i see. I'm so impressed by the google captions plugin. Its almost instantaneous

gritty perch
#

are you a freelance dev?

regal breach
#

yeah

gritty perch
# regal breach yeah

nice. I'm kind of a software/ML person trying to create a valuable service (AI grift) before the technological singularity
wanna be friends?

regal breach
#

sure. i'm also pretty interested in AI, though i haven't worked with them much

gritty perch
regal breach
#

almost a year i'd say

#

my initial commit on my other plugin says oct 28, 2022 haha

#

oh, it's more like OBS plugin dev't. i haven't really made significant contributions to the main obs repo

ruby lichen
gritty perch
#

also off topic: I'm trying to find a way to be constantly writing transcribed sentences to output files during the audio stream, instead of after the recording is over. Do you have experience with this?

#

@ruby lichen

#

but thats a bit above my cpp paygrade

ruby lichen
#

you've acces to all C++ has to offer including writing to files

regal breach
#

i have an idea on how to do that in my plugin, so i'd say it is also a bit dependent on the stt api you'll use

gritty perch
#

I'm imagining you could detect where punctuation is automatically inferred, and then writing to a file then

regal breach
#

like for mine, when i get the result from vosk_recognizer_result, you can just write that to the text file. however, vosk does not split the audio into sentences (at least for the simple english model i used)

#

vosk_recognizer_result just guarantees that the audio is split to the last silence, not necessarily the end of a sentence

gritty perch
#

last silence could be interesting

regal breach
#

so if your aim is to split into sentences, you'd need to check the stt api you'll use if it supports that

gritty perch
#

gotcha

gritty perch
#

how close is performance to the real thing

ruby lichen
#

performance in transcription? or in runtime

gritty perch
#

transcription. I imagine its much faster than using the API haha

ruby lichen
#

transcription is pretty good with decent audiio input

#

this is also the "tiny" model

#

the bigger ones are huge (>100Mb) and very slow

gritty perch
#

and does your implementation acknowledge periods of silence? I might just use silence as a potential "write-point" instead

gritty perch
regal breach
#

i'm inclined to say it's impossible for stt to know the end of the sentence

#

also, for the record, vosk is also offline

ruby lichen
#

Whisper is pretty good with ends of sentences and blanks

#

you can experiment with it "offline"

regal breach
#

dunno how vosk generated dlls as they seemed to use python though, i but i managed to link the dlls in c

gritty perch
#

the one you linked

regal breach
#

they put punctuation?

gritty perch
#

i did a big pause between though and like

regal breach
#

well that's pretty cool. i wonder if google api already does that on their end

#

i imagine that has to be on their end, not the plugin

regal breach
regal breach
gritty perch
#

yep

#

just looked at their stream capabilities

#

punctuation in real time

#

and its very good

regal breach
#

that's dope

#

apparently vosk also has punctuation models but they are very big

image.png
gritty perch
#

@ruby lichen Do you know how much faster a local whisper.cpp would be than using the API?

#

for longevity purposes i'm considering taking the latency hit with the official api, just so that I can scale the application along with openai's models

regal breach
#

for less confusion, note that an API is not necessarily the cloud service provided

#

even if it's offline, it's still called an api

#

(it honestly confused me in the earlier convo)

gritty perch
#

oh you mean like the whisper.cpp would still be considered an api?

#

@regal breach

regal breach
gritty perch
#

noted. thanks

regal breach
#

tho apparently the cloud service is called https://whisperapi.com/ which is probably the root of confusion for both you and me

gritty perch
#

that service never entered my mind

#

it looks like its unaffiliated with openAI
