yes, tho every 2 seconds will be a lot of spam 😄

you made sure that the plugin is active, right?

#

I set it to 5 seconds here for testing and it's working fine

haughty geyser
#

maybe cause i somehow turned it off in windows?

glacial haven
#

that might be, I think it has several levels where it can suppress certain notifications

#

one of it would be that focus assist

haughty geyser
glacial haven
#

on win10 it's when you right click the notification symbol at the bottom right corner - on win11 no idea, don't use it 😛

#

but usually on windows you can just enter something like "focus assist" in the start menu input box and it will search for it - though of course I don't know how it would be called in your localized version of windows

yeah, my bad, that was some hidden win checkbox, now it works

haughty geyser
#

what is proper macros for toggle scene visibility when start the app? i want to show gamepad overlay when i play mk and hide it when im not

glacial haven
#

the showing when you switch to the game could be done like this (just use the .exe of your game instead of Discord.exe in my example) - but I don't know how you could hide if the process is no longer active

image.png
#

maybe just another process watch on explorer.exe (this is when you go back to the desktop) to hide the overlay

haughty geyser
glacial haven
#

ah, right, lol, totally forgot about that

#

you can test the "and is focused" option - if you leave it on, then the overlay will be enabled and disabled when tabbing in and out of the game

#

when you leave it off, then it is toggled only when you start or exit the game

#

whatever you prefer

# subtle crown how do i view them

If you are having problems with playing content created by OBS Studio in Movies & TV or QuickTime Player, this is because the media player does not have proper format support. This causes missing video, audio, or for the file to not open at all.

We recommend VLC Media Player for better, accurate format support. Like OBS Studio, VLC Media Player is a free and open source project.

obsidian agate
#

use VLC

#

download it at the link above

subtle crown
#

whats vcl

#

ok

#

after downloading will i still see it?

#

because i just recorded a mix

obsidian agate
#

technically you can see it right now, the file is right there. just need to open it in either VLC or QuickTime Player (though VLC would be the better option, as the bot message states)

Uninstall the virtual output plugin. You don't need it. OBS has its own virtual camera, been there for several versions.

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."

I went to the OBS project website and downloaded the Background Removal add in to my Mac (Venture 13.4 OS). I ran the installation program and it said it was installed. When I launch OBS and look at the filters of a camera I don’t see the Background Remover in the list. Any ideas what needs done?

there actually used to be a PC version called "Snap Camera" - it was discontinued, but you can search for the SnapCameraPreservation repo on github by jaku and use this to get it going again - do at your own risk, nobody knows about the legal implications of this, that's also why I don't link it

how did you install obs?

Portable Mode allows the program to save and access configuration data from the program's base folder. To enable portable mode:

1.) Install/unzip to a custom directory outside of "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files"
2.) Then either modify its shortcut with the --portable or -p command line parameter, or create a blank text file named "portable_mode.txt" in the base installation/unzip folder.

is there a ways to see which ones i installed by dates and is there a way to delete a plugin one and done ?

the other thing i didnt mention . the obs that i have installed thats causing the issues is 29.1.2 the portable version i have is 29.1.3

fossil wyvern

to make sure a plugin doesn't load, removing the dll in C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit would be enough

i havent installed 29.3 cause i didnt want to break anything

would you recommend trying to upgrade to 29.1.3

and see if that resolves anything

or is the issues still what the issue is no matter the version ?

Trying to figure out a way to add a border to a color source that is NOT impacted by the cropping. So far I've been using 2 sources to give the illusion of a box with a border around and then adjusting the "top" box to use as a "HP/Progress bar". Any plugins that could do this instead?

i have like 1 tb of obs clips

If any of yall are interested, or for future asks, finally got around to submitting adv-ff as a ressource.

It's an obspython script to extend the filename formatting, including things like current scene, or the currently captured game/window, for example.
It's for obs 30.0 (but can actually work with limited functionality on 29 by uncommenting the right thing)

Hi. Recently I've been using my own compiled build of OBS to enable & take advantage of the new GPU rescaling and FPS divisor features. However, I'd like to move back to using an officially released OBS build so that I can have third party emotes displaying in my twitch chat dock again, while also enabling these UI-less features. I have the plugin template compiling with/against OBS 30 beta 2, but I'm trying to poke at this with little to no knowledge of what I'm doing, so here's the result of a few days of me fumbling around:

void frontend_event(enum obs_frontend_event event, void *data)
{
    if (event == OBS_FRONTEND_EVENT_FINISHED_LOADING) {
        obs_output_t *output = obs_frontend_get_recording_output();
        if (output) {
            blog(LOG_ERROR, "output exists");
        } else {
            blog(LOG_ERROR, "output doesn't exist");
        }
        obs_encoder_t *encoder = obs_output_get_video_encoder(output);
        if (encoder) {
            blog(LOG_ERROR, "encoder exists");
        } else {
            blog(LOG_ERROR, "encoder doesn't exist");
        }
        obs_output_release(output);
        obs_encoder_release(encoder);
    }
}

bool obs_module_load(void)
{
    obs_log(LOG_INFO, "plugin loaded successfully (version %s)",
        PLUGIN_VERSION);
    obs_frontend_add_event_callback(frontend_event, NULL);
    return true;
}```
Currently the plugin loads fine, and it gets the output, but it cannot get the encoder. After trying some other frontend events, I see that it's indeed because the encoder doesn't exist yet. I'm completely clueless as to what event I could use (if any) to do this. I'm guessing I just need to approach this completely differently, but I have no idea how. Any help/guidance is appreciated
fossil wyvern
hexed spire
#

I tried using OBS_FRONTEND_EVENT_RECORDING_STARTING, but I get encoder doesn't exist

fossil wyvern
#

yee, try the signal, not the frontend event, the event is fired way before the signal

or if you want to use frontend events instead of signals, use OBS_FRONTEND_EVENT_RECORDING_STARTED

#

(so it crashing means it actually worked)

hexed spire
#

ah

#

well, I tried _RECORDING_STARTED and then tried to set the FPS divisor but I got encoder 'advanced_video_recording': Cannot set frame rate divisor while the encoder is active

fossil wyvern
#

I haven't had the time to have a look at fps divisor, hwo exactly do you set it?

#

oh, obs_encoder_set_frame_rate_divisor I guess?

hexed spire
#

yeah

fossil wyvern
#

you might have a chance with the starting signal, I can't track down exactly where the encoder is set as active

#

otherwise, you'll have to test it on your own output instead of using a builting one

#

eh, nah, won't work

#

yeah, the recording encoder is both created and set as active in ffmpeg_mux_start_internal, whithout any signal inbetween the two

#

ooh wait no

#

yeah, mb the activate signal is fired just before the output is set as active, had missed that

#

that should work

and it's imo conceptually far better to have third party plugins install to a dedicated location instead of just chucking them in the base plugin folder

keeps them separate and makes uninstall and control far easier

Yeah, but kills the point of the portable version of OBS

oh yeah, if you're in a portable install, then yeah you need to install into obs' install directory

most installers don't do portable installs

just make a move filter that does that and put a hotkey to activate/deactivate the filter

#

yea i have a move filter for every position but not for mirror the came

fossil wyvern

then make one

#

it's just putting negative values for the scale

fossil wyvern

i cant find the flip if im using a move filter for the source 😦

flipping a source = negative scale

can you send me a screenshot maybe? i really cant find it...

fossil wyvern
#

depends on whether you want the two to be independent on simultaneous

terse whale
#

i want that may cam is smoothly moving and afterwards its just flipped without animation

fossil wyvern
#

then probably two separate filters, one for the move, one for the flip

terse whale
#

okay so the flip filter is also "move source" ?

I have a HyperX DuoCast that I talk into when playing drums, and the NGENUITY app has an AI noise reduction feature that cuts out all my pad hits - which is great. However, it introduces a 1 - 1.5 second delay in transmitting my voice. This isn't great for recording -- for example if I were to sing, I'd be behind the song that I'm playing to when recording.

My question is: Does anyone have a recommendation on a noise suppression plugin, or something within OBS that would achieve the same result without introducing such a delay?

Hello. Is there a way to change the URL in a browser source via some external means (e.g. Companion, some API call)? I would like to dynamically change arguments provided to the URL. At the moment I've ended up having a small web server running as a separate process in a shell. I have companion write the new "arguments" to a text file, then refresh the browser source with the new arguments being read from the text file by a Javascript function. This works fine, but seems like a bad way to do it. I've searched for a few hours to try to find a better approach, but have come up empty. BTW - first time posting here. Feel free to direct me to a more approriate place if this isn't where I should be asking this question.

# ruby lichen hi - i'm developing the BG removal plugin. the information you got in the other ...

Hi Roy. Below is a copy/pasta of the original question. Much of what I asked was answered, but you might have a different take on it being the the Dev of the filter itself.

Question: Regarding OBS & Filter, Background Removal tool.

In this video, at 2:22, he mentions putting it in the main A/V filters section. I don't have that filter in my main A/V filters section after installing it, but I DO have it in my Effects Filters section.

And then, at around 2:45, he starts talking about adding a virtual "green screen". That entire section is missing from the version of the Background Removal tool I have (which I got from the link he provided). There's nowhere that "color" is mentioned.

So...what am I missing here? I followed his instructions for installing the BGR tool to the letter. Is he talking about a different BGR tool?

I just checked, His link seems to point to your Filter.

Hi everybody,
Has anybody tried to send a file from his/her plugin to an API deployed in AWS EC2???
I'm using libcurl and I don't know why it takes so much time to communicate from my plugin to the API deployed in EC2.

my plugin (libcurl) communicating with API deployed locally --> 1 second
some testing python script communicating with API deployed in EC2 --> 1 second
my plugin (libcurl) communicating with API deployed in EC2 --> 7 seconds

curl_easy_getinfo does not seem to tell me what is delaying the API communication so much.
This is what I'm getting:

CURL INFO - NAMELOOKUP_TIME: 0.0 CURL INFO - CONNECT_TIME: 0.0 CURL INFO - APPCONNECT_TIME: 0.0 CURL INFO - PRETRANSFER_TIME: 0.0 CURL INFO - STARTTRANSFER_TIME: 0.0 CURL INFO - TOTAL_TIME: 6.5 CURL INFO - REDIRECT_TIME: 0.0 CURL INFO - SSL_VERIFYRESULT: 0

Please help, any suggestions are more than welcome

glacial haven
#

what if you use the command line tool curl instead of libcurl, does it show the same behavior?

fervent marsh
#

If it were DNS, I'd expect CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME to be nonzero. Not actually sure what it means if there's a high total time but it isn't accounted anywhere -- transfer time after the first byte has been received (thus wouldn't get accounted to STARTTRANSFER_TIME)?

Trying with curl directly won't hurt, definitely; if you can duplicate it there you can get it to give you a lot more info with --trace-ascii curl.log --trace-time. Or might see if libcurl can write the same kind of trace (I wouldn't be surprised if it could)

hi

raven oyster
#

i have a starting scene that fades into my camera scene. i have music playing and i want it to lower automatically during the fade. i went into the scene switcher and played around with it, but the music lowers after the fade. is there a way i can make it lower during the fade? is there a plugin for this?

fossil wyvern
raven oyster
#

i dunno if i did this right

fossil wyvern
#

lower it on transition start, then bring it up again on transition end

raven oyster
#

nah its still lowering after the transition and not during it

fossil wyvern
#

here you're putting it at 100%

raven oyster
#

it doesn't seem to do anything

fossil wyvern
#

for the moment remove the "fade over 10 seconds"

raven oyster
#

gotcha

#

yeah its not doing anything

fossil wyvern
#

you are using the "fade" transition?

raven oyster
#

yep

#

ok it works but it seems to only do it when it wants to

fossil wyvern
#

are you using smth like transition table

raven oyster
#

i don't even know what that is lol

#

im just using a transition override since the rest of my scenes have a simple cut

fossil wyvern
#

how long is the fade?

raven oyster
#

10 seconds

fossil wyvern
#

can't identify what makes it want to work or no?

raven oyster
#

i don't think so

fossil wyvern
#

show again the two macros?

raven oyster
#

i haven't edited this one yet

#

and then here's the other one

fossil wyvern
#

to restore the audio to 100% once the transition has ended

raven oyster
#

alright

fossil wyvern
#

(also you need to actually activate them)

raven oyster

yeah of course 😛

#

it lowered

fossil wyvern
#

just making sure, in case

raven oyster
#

ahh yes

#

this worked

#

tysm

now you can probs add a bit of fade, but maybe not 10 full seconds of fade. the lowering would be very gradual

I am trying to use the OBS websockets plugin and for some reason I cant find the Show/Hide Source request type does it exist?

fossil wyvern
#

the difference between source and sceneitem can be a bit confusing if you've only ever used OBS through the UI, but it's fondamental to working with the API/websocket

willow thicket
#

Thank you!

glacial haven
#

I'd just wish the documentation would include the signal words a sane person is searching for like "visible", "hide" or "show" or the terms from the old version like "render"

#

when you're lucky you search for "visible" and find this for SceneItemEnableStateChanged which gives at least a hint

image.png
#

but the level of going from semi-intuitive to absolutely counter-intuitive when moving from 4.X to 5.X is remarkable

willow thicket
#

wait so when I set the requestType do I enter "SetSceneItemEnabled"?

fossil wyvern
#

idk which library you're using but typically yes, that'd be the request to use

willow thicket
#

Also How do I Obtain the ID of this?

yes2.jpg
fossil wyvern
willow thicket
#

Do I have to use this in my requests

willow thicket

you need to do first a GetSceneitemId to find the ID of the sceneitem you want to show/hide, then a SetSceneItemEnabled request with that id

fossil wyvern

#

Cause its the simplest one out there and the only one i know right now

#

fossil wyvern
#

does it even have a obs-ws library?

fervent marsh
#

Yes.

willow thicket
#

Wait does it need one

#

lol

fossil wyvern
#

and by fun I mean aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

glacial haven
fossil wyvern
#

Basically, a source is something that brings audio and/or video into OBS. Sources aren't only what the UI calls sources. Scenes, transitions and filters are also source objects (what the UI calls source is a specific category of sources called Inputs)

Sceneitems are the visuals associated with an input with video when it's composited into a scene.

#

think of it like an editor, sources are the clips themselves, sceneitems are the clip bits on the timeline

glacial haven
#

thanks, that makes it a bit more clear - I guess that there is a difference in terminology between UI and code perspective is what makes this so hard for me, I am a really visual guy, I don't learn well from theoretic texts but whenever I can by calling functions and observing the effects

#

so when the UI is presenting only sources, I expect to only work with sources

#

the concept of a scene item is not really visible from the UI, though of course in theory it makes sense

fossil wyvern
fossil wyvern
#

you're interacting with the actual source only when you open its properties

glacial haven
#

ah, nice, that explanation works a lot better for me already

#

because now my train of thought is synced with what I can follow in the UI

#

I still wonder what problem was fixed by replacing the old SetSceneItemRender function that I could just tell the name of the "scene item" I wanted to toggle visibility of by the new system where I have to obtain the ID first

wary escarp
#

Without knowing exactly what the function did, that sounds odd… Scene items don’t have names, presumably the function assumed the source only existed in one sceneitem?

fossil wyvern
# glacial haven because now my train of thought is synced with what I can follow in the UI

To understand what depends on the sceneitem and what doesn't :
when you click in the UI "copy" -> "paste as reference" ona source, what you're doing is creating a second sceneitem of the same source (source names are unique so if it has the same name it's tied to the same source).

From then on, if you modify something on one of them and it affect the second then that was a property of the source. If it doesn't affect the second, then it was a property of the source.

For example, modifying the scale, rotation or position of one won't change the other. Those are properties of the sceneitem, not the source.
But modifying the media file (if it's a media source) will affect both, because that's a property of the source.

glacial haven
#

or why it couldn't at least have been kept in addition, for simple folks like me who were totally satisfied by this method for years without a single issue

fossil wyvern
glacial haven
#

i think that's a leftover because previously the name of this function was "SetSourceRender" and then got renamed

fossil wyvern
# glacial haven or why it couldn't at least have been kept in addition, for simple folks like me...

because you can run into a lot of unpredictable behaviour if you don't have strictly one sceneitem of a source in a scene (and god forbid you use groups).

The new ws protocol is an honest improvement. It might sound more complex to use, but that's because it's much closer to how obs actually works, so much less unpredictable things (and an added bonus it forces you to understand how obs works, which is a good thing if you want to work with obs)

glacial haven
#

as a simple minded person like me who looked at the UI and had "My Image" in the "Sources" list and got the idea "hey, I want to hide My Image from a websocket call so I will search for a function that will let me hide/show sources and specify the name of them" this was the answer, it made sense, was easy to find and just worked

#

I would call it and tell it to hide "My Image" and that was the end of it

#

implementation time of a few seconds

fossil wyvern
#

yeah I agree that the discordance between the UI and backend is a bit unfortunate, but tbh, if you want to work with the backend, imo you should do it with the way the backend works

glacial haven
#

but who wants that is the question, most people I see asking for things like this have a scenario like above and they are totally happy with these simple things

#

as I said, it would be good if at least some of these simple functions could have been kept to cover these simple scenarios instead of having anyone who just wants to show or hide a thing they see in the "Sources" list learn about internal OBS coding terminology and object structure

fossil wyvern
#

well, if you just want to show or hide a thing in OBS, there are tools for that built on WS

fervent marsh
glacial haven
#

I probably am mostly a bit annoyed about this because it existed before and was "taken away from me", with no visible benefit to me but making things more complicated

fossil wyvern
glacial haven
fossil wyvern
#

yup

#

same if you have "my source" twice in scene 1

#

if they have the same name, it's the same source

glacial haven
#

I believe the original obs-ws implementation when called without specifying a scene would just internally loop through all scene items with that source and hide/show them

#

I still don't know why that convenience feature had to be taken away though 😛

fossil wyvern
#

I mean tbh wouldn't be too hard to make a code snippet that does the same with the new implementation

glacial haven
#

sure, but look at it from my perspective: someone actually put effort in to removing that convenience functionality (as part of the rewrite), and now I have to put effort into replicating it on my side - sounds like a lose-lose situation to me

#

sure I can, but why do I have to? 😦

#

for now I just hope compat stays for as long as possible

fossil wyvern
#

yeah, I do understand your perspective.

#

I still do think the changes to WS were overall good and necessary, but I do understand where you're coming from

#

from what I understand however, they didn't actually actively remove it

obsidian agate
#

how did v4 of WS handle showing/hiding a single named source in a scene, if there were multiple copies already in the scene by the same name?

fossil wyvern
#

they just binned the whole of the 4.0 protocol and rewrote a protocol from scratch

glacial haven
#

maybe that's something that could be done for the future, like having the expert layer which is close to the internal OBS coding structure, and then a layer with a few simple functions that add some logics on top of it - I am not sure whether there are libraries that already do this, but until now I didn't need any extra libs, I could just call the websocket functions from my code

glacial haven
#

it was rather implicitly

wary escarp

i don't want to rewrite the function (although I did have the same thought), but where it's used, yeah

yeah honestly imo the function itself should just be deprecated because yeah it's a bit bad

it's using while only because I didn't understood how to use if and for

Trying to find a good TTS plugin or something that doesn't require me to send something to twitch chat for it to work - like ideally I'd write something into a terminal or something.

I am unable to speak when I stream cause I have selective mutism and streaming is just a situation my brain has decided I can't talk in.

I currently use firebot and have just my own messages I send to chat read by TTS, but I get a lot of people wondering why their messages aren't read, when mine are. I also feel like it's weird for me to send it to chat for an app to intercept then read it, just feel s abit backwards when I just want the audio in the first place

Hello! Does anyone know the effects or plugins that are used for streams like the Twitch streamer DJ Hanawins? Particularly the interactive ones that match her movement (not just the trails where I've seen a few youtube videos for more simple ones).

I don't have much experience with coding but I'm looking around for Diploma ideas. One need we recently had was for tally lights and it got me thinking. Is it possible to make a solution where cameramen connect their phone to the internet, over an app specify for which scenes or sources they want to be alerted for and then obs via a plugin sends out messages to the apps when a scene/source is in preview and when it's live?

#

so in simpler terms: Cameraman uses his android phone to open an app which connects first to a microcontroller which controlls the tally light, the app also connects to obs which is on a different network. Then obs sends the correct phones their events when they are on preview/live

#

is that achiavable with small latency (below 0.5s)

It can be converted to work with shaderfilter, but may need to be a full .effect file in order to specify sampler type for the custom texture(s). In general most Shadertoy shaders that contain a single tab at the top named "Image" can generally be converted as long as they don't do music processing or other fancy Shadertoy specific things that don't have a counterpart in one of the shader plugins for OBS.

If it is transitioning between two scenes, then a StreamFX/FreeFX shader transition would likely be the best approach. But converting the shader to a regular shader and applying it to a nested scene can work also depending on the desired end result. The source scene texture would get replaced by the dripping effect, and transparent alpha instead of another texture, allowing what is under it to bleed through. If it is intended to be one-shot operation is where you may find it tricky to solve, as shaders tend to be periodic.

#

a transition shader would be more appropriate I believe.

[Source Record Issue]
I have 3 instances of source record at a time. My camera, discord audio, and display capture. For some odd reason, im running into an issue where ONLY the display capture recording will just stop randomly, while the other 2 will record until I turn it off.

I'm using NVENC H.264 for recording on SR. I typically use my CPU to stream

untold jay
#

@mighty shuttleIs the resulting file corrupted, or partially corrupted, or intact?

#

!manuallog @mighty shuttle Try to find logs from the last time it broke like this. Also, when using that many hardware encoder instances, try to avoid using features that may reduce total throughput, like presets above p1 and profiles above baseline for h264 or main for h265/av1.

# fossil flicker mean vmix can give more functions than obs? i'm the fidelty for obs but i see th...

in my experience, vmix is more capable of complex audio routing setups, has a list input that can show images and videos, and the gt title editor as you've said. on obs, i think people usually use stream alert/overlay providers like streamelements. while i do miss the audio routing and gt title editor (which i only use because my colleagues already have created gt titles), i dare say obs has a much better video composition system. positioning is way easier on obs due to bounding box, and ability to nest scenes

#

so it's a pros and cons thing, rather than vmix having more functions

#

not to mention obs has advanced scene switcher, which is more capable than the Triggers in vmix

#

obs also can do complex audio routing thanks to the audio monitor plugin, but the UX is not as efficient as in vmix so there's that

#

btw, if your gt titles are just static, no animation, you can just unzip it, add .png to the images (their filenames are a bunch of numbers and letters), and drop those in obs

#

although you do need to set up text sources yourself

#

(their position, font, and size are in the .xml inside the gtzip

#

oh, did i also forget to mention that window capture in vmix sucks

#

they use WindowsGraphicsCapture but until now, still doesn't let you disable the cursor

#

whereas obs uses the same api, but lets us disable cursor

#

again it's just a pros and cons thing.

#

then yes, that is a current limitation. i believe you are looking for gapless playback. my plugin does not support that yet, as i believe even vlc video source does not have gapless playback either. i'm not sure if it is feasible to implement it. what i can do is to have a second media source like i planned initially so i can preload the next file, but the problem lies in when the user picks a file from the list. in theory, when user picks a file, i could delay the switching to the next file, but there will be a bit of delay when switching to the selected file. in addition, afaik the media source does not expose a signal that tells me that "hey, the video you selected is now loaded", so that's the issue there. now if you are fine with the black screen only when switching files, that lessens the problem

in any case, this was already one of my initial plans, but it's a bit complex so i put it on hold. i may reimplement it later on when finish my other projects

#

i currently have deadlines to meet, sorry!

True, so as far as I understand there are 2 options -

And I have a solution as well, but for that to work, I have a question

So suppose if I'm using dock. Is it possible if I schedule stream from webpage in Dock and getting response of rtmp urls in API. Can I use that response to be fed into multi rtmp plugin ?

Or I need to use QT based UI specificly for making API calls ?

Hi, I am new to OBS plugin development and I have a problem. I want to be able to display a video and change it based on another audio source. To display the video I use another child source, ffmpeg_source. When I test in OBS I can load a video, I can see that the duration of the video is correct, but when I play it, the time stays at 0 and it does not display.

#

Never used the ffmpeg source, but I once used an image source to display gifs in my own source. They did not play until i implemented .enum_active_sources for my source. iirc it tells obs that your source has another sources nested. There's also .video_tick which you might have to implement for your source and then forward that to the ffmpeg source

fossil wyvern
slender ore
# boreal hearth Never used the ffmpeg source, but I once used an image source to display gifs in...

Thank you so much, it works. I just implemented the callback to .enum_active_sources with just this function
static void kiru_source_enum_active_sources(void* data, obs_source_enum_proc_t cb, void* param)

{
struct kiru_source_controler* ksc = data;
cb(ksc->source, ksc->video_source, param);
}

But it's strange, in the documentation it is said: "Only used with sources that have the OBS_SOURCE_COMPOSITE output capability flag." And in my source I don't have the OBS_SOURCE_COMPOSITE flag, but never mind.

@urban carbon If you want to send specific sources, install obs-ndi and create a dedicated ndi output filter on every audio source that need to be sent, then receive using ndi sources. Don't forget to assign unique names to each ndi audio source.

i could put up with fairly agressive dsync with this channel thankfully

untold jay
#

The issue is not how long the delay is going to be, but whether or not it'll be in sync with other sources. You can adjust a/v sync offset in Edit > Advanced audio properties. Note that audio monitoring ignores the sync offset, so use a livestream or a recording to validate.

urban carbon
urban carbon
untold jay
#

@urban carbon obs-ndi will add audio delay whenever there's momentary cpu overload or a network issue, so over a 5+ hour livestream, the delay might grow. You will then have to open properties and hit OK to restart the stream, resetting this delay, unless the issue never appears.

#

What's worse is that you will not be notified when this happens.

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.

Does the guy who worked on Source Record frequent here?

fossil wyvern
#

exeldro? yeah, he ain't very active but he's deffo around.

queen sierra
#

Idk ifhes aware, but a reason for OBS crashing is a sudden resolution change

#

Ive been realizing that

#

Then again... maybe everyone knew and im last to the party 🤣

#

Or if not resolution change, an "Active window/application" change

glacial haven
untold jay
quiet bramble
#

It's a good idea to always add a scale/aspect filter to any source that can have its resolution change just in general. I've found that doing this and setting it to "scale to canvas" will ensure that any game capture or other capture of a fixed number of pixels HxV that is 16:9, will ensure that if the resolution changes it always scales to OBS canvas smoothly. A side effect of this also is if you have different canvas sizes such as one for Twitch lower res, and another for YouTube and switch between them. It's possible to share one OBS setup with multiple use cases this way. This coupled with the Transform dialog's bounding box options and positional alignment can manage most cases of dynamic resolution and aspect ratio, along with some optional creative cropping.

queen sierra
#

The problem would be if i want to switch between things that have varying resolutions.

quiet bramble
#

If they are the same aspect ratio, then that is explicitly handled by the solution above. For example, if you have a 1080p canvas in OBS, you have a game and it is set to 1440p resolution, you capture the game, it is larger than your OBS canvas but the same aspect ratio. You put a scaling/aspect filter on it set to "scale to canvas" and the 1440p game capture is now scaled to 1080p. Change the game resolution to 4k, now 4k is scaled by OBS to 1080p. Change the game to 1080p and it matches as well. As long as the aspect ratio remains the same the filter will always scale it correctly.

#

If you change your canvas size to 1440p, the game capture with that scaling filter on it, without any configuration changes at all, will now scale whatever 16:9 aspect game resolution to match the new canvas size without any reconfiguration required. It just always works. The only case where it does not, is if the game aspect ratio and the OBS video aspect ratio does not align. In that case other tricks and compromises have to be met which varies on a game by game basis which one works best for that one game.

#

For example, my monitor is actually 16:10 aspect. I can play games usually in 16:10 or 16:9, however I always have a 16:9 canvas in OBS. So when I play a game I want to record I have to decide for that specific game, do I want it to scale 16:10 full capture down to 16:9 squashing it and does that look ok to me? If not, do the HUD elements confine to a 16:9 space in the game (or be configured in the game's settings to do so) so I can just crop the top and bottom for the video? Or should I just aspect-scale the video to 16:9 and have black bars on the left/right or split on both sides? There are other options also.

#

And it can be configured to be resolution agnostic with scale/aspect filter and/or shaders and other tricks.

#

It's more effort and takes more knowhow to set up OBS to do this, so possibly more confusing for the average person, but it is nice to be able to kind of set up one OBS setup that adapts to various input and output situations and not have to dupllicate scene collections/profiles to handle it all.

#

I haven't found a use case yet that I couldn't adapt to this and work well. Not that there isn't one, but I haven't encountered one with my own setup.

#

One niche one might be playing a game triplehead and wanting to crop the middle screen to be the broadcast version, but the HUD elements are on the left/right displays and no way to adjust it without hacking the game, but that's pretty niche. 🙂

yeah, should work.
Add those lines at the start of the main script after all imports then reload it in the obs UI:

from importlib import reload
reload(<Module>)```
where you replace `<Module>` with the module you want reloaded.
It needs to be the actual module object, not just its name, and not a string, so if for example you did `import matplotlib as mpl` you need the line to be `reload(mpl)`.
Obviously if you need more than one, just repeat the line
#

tell me if shit happens but shouldn't

main delta
#

It seems it's breaking my arguments from from obs.obs_Properties path

#

That's a great idea though

#

Somehow I think you got it. I had to coment it back out and then things were good

fossil wyvern
main delta
#

While I have those reload commands in. My properties come back as empty string. I was using an add path

#

I then commented them out and reloaded the script

fossil wyvern
#

that's really weird, unless reloading one of those errored out and stopped the execution of another part of the script

main delta
#

That could be. Thank you so much for helping me with this.

fossil wyvern
#

pleasure 👍

#

if one did error out that means you could have one or more of the modules that didn't actually reload

#

might be worth checking log

#

but anyways, pleasure to help find the most conceptually horrendous solutions to issues that shouldn't exist XD

main delta
#

If you ever want to explain the magic here I would love to know

fossil wyvern
#

not much magic, that's literally what importlib.reload does, it reloads a loaded module.

main delta
#

Yeah I am just curious what the OBS environment looks like. Why it doesn't all reload on the refresh button

fossil wyvern
#

because in python calling import on a module that's already imported does not reload it.
OBS basically spawns one python interpreter when it opens and runs everything in it. So once you've loaded a script, all modules it imported are imported in that interpreter till obs closes.

#

the reload button calls reload on the module that is the script itself, but that's not recursive onto what the script itself imports, that wouldn't really be doable

#

tangentially related, and useful tto know, when you remove a script, you don't actually unload it as a module.

The script_unload get called, but the script itself as a module does not get unloaded from the python interpreter.
So, notably, if you then readd it or any other script by the same name, it's not gonna get actually reloaded till you press the reload button, and will still be calling the "old" script

main delta
#

Would putting that reload command inside the script unload be a good idea

#

Looking for a place to have it so it does reload that one module on every refresh. I will tinker with it after the stream. I really appreciate you gettiing me going again

i guess i need to explain further;
I want the game capture settings to be anything, but the window state i need to set condition for is null and not null.. how can i test window settings in such a way while also keeping the rest of the game capture settings as anything?

went to download the multirtmp plugin and saw this

#

is there any merit to this?
