hey guys. im sorry, but im not really an expert in CMake and im having a hard time getting my plugin to link against tesseract for text recognition. anyone know approximately what im doing wrong?

find_package(Tesseract REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE Tesseract::Tesseract)
include_directories(${Tesseract_INCLUDE_DIRS})
#

i get the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:14 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindTesseract.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
  has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "Tesseract", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Tesseract" with
  any of the following names:

    TesseractConfig.cmake
    tesseract-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Tesseract" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Tesseract_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "Tesseract" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

ive made some progress.... but i still cant get either of the external libraries i need to build nicely with the existing cmake stuff

regal breach
#

where are you getting dlls for tesseract?

#

or are you building it from source

regal escarp
#

and it can never find both sets of dylibs

#

i have the library working now, but only by adding #ifdef __arm to all of my source files

how to make to click one button and have another scene but then play greenscreen video and then the new scene?

advss, 2 scenes, I have it setup so during these 2 scenes, which just have a standard rectangle box, various types of content/sources are shown in the boxes, but as stand alone sources, they have a bunch of random graphics in the way if showing on the 2 above... so i setup 2 macros, one that hides anything out of place when scenes active, and one that makes all of that visible again. 2 macros for each scene, show/hide. But they are getting confused with each other, say I switch to scene 2, sc2 hides everything because its the current scene, but sc1 shows everything right after because its no longer the current scene... sorry for long post, trying to wrap my head around if/and statement that keeps these two from conflicting

#

@sleek lynxMacros can pause other macros. Add an action to stop the second macro, wait, x seconds, then unpause the second macro.

@civic pawn It's the only one currently, so yes. You can also use ffmpeg or 2 copies of obs-studio, but it's relatively difficult and has no performance benefits.

civic pawn
#

performance hit wise

untold jay
#

@civic pawnTo my knowledge, yes.

mortal harbor
#

@sleek lynx seems like a basic macro setup, this is one...the other would be the same only for scene 2

figured it out. just gotta right click the show and "show as tab" instead

#

So it still requires to have every chat open, just not having to look at all of them. It works, but I hope one day there's just something that auto connects to each.

Yeah, just gotta have the rtmp vs. on tiktok streaming and not the app I'm assuming.

Yeah, the popout chat from the TikTok Live Studio app doesn't do a browser to use the exention on

hmm or I wonder if once you go live it brings chat up in the livecenter..

fallen eagle
#

Am i able to ask for some clarification on making a transition loop with advanced scene switcher here?

glacial haven
#

I guess that would be the best place for it, many users of it here

fallen eagle
#

Okay, here's what I'm trying to do. A simple transition loop. I copied these macros from someone else and they used these and had my desired effect. All I want is something to appear on screen for so long every however many minutes and then move itself off screen. There are tickers for this but they aren't as customizable as I'd like.

For some reason it does not work for me.

image.png image.png
glacial haven
#

your 2nd macro has no scene condition

#

it doesn't say on which scene it reacts and in the action the first macro not where it's supposed to switch to

#

the boxes that say "select scene" - you want to do just that, select a scene there

fallen eagle
#

Can't believe I missed those lmao, but still it isn't working

#

Oh wait I know why, I deleted the other scene on accident and undid it

#

I needed to reselect it

glacial haven
#

maybe you confused scene 1 and 2 now?

macro 1: when in the top area the condition tests for scene 2, then in the bottom area you want to switch to scene 1.

macro 2: when in the top area the condition tests for scene 1, then in the bottom area you want to switch to scene 2.

#

show updated screenshots with your new settings if in doubt πŸ™‚

fallen eagle
#

Should any of the boxes be checked? I'm still learning this and I don't fully understand them all

#

did you make sure that the plugin is actually active right now?

in the video it's done using the dock, that's also an option to do it that way

fallen eagle
glacial haven
#

then I don't know what's missing, config in your last 2 screenshots is looking right, as long as scene 2 and scene 3 actually exist (and ideally show different content so that you see the switching a bit better)

#

none of the checkboxes need to be ticked, only this switch, but that looks fine in your screenshots

image.png
#

maybe afer you have corrected the macros you need to once more disable the plugin and re-enable, to get it going? tho that wouldn't really make sense to me

fallen eagle
#

Yeah so it's not just me

#

The scenes exist and show different things

#

but still issues persist

glacial haven
#

just tested, works fine here πŸ˜›

#

but after creating the macros indeed I had to once more disable the plugin and set it to active again before it actually started working

fallen eagle
#

and how do I do that?

glacial haven
#

you said you have the dock

#

just stop and start there

fallen eagle
#

oh that

#

gotcha

#

it will switch 1 time then stop

glacial haven
#

I mean, it seems you are creating yourself moving targets - you tested with scene 1 and 2, then said it probably broke because you deleted scenes when the macros already existed - and then after learning that, you again started to work with new scenes (now scenes 2 and 3) instead of just sticking to 1 and 2 doggolul

#

maybe now leave the scenes untouched

#

go back into the macro settings

#

and open those selection boxes

#

and once more select scenes 2 and 3

#

maybe you made changes to the scenes so that the references the plugin still has aren't correct anymore

fallen eagle
#

It never worked to begin with and the scenes were always 2 and 3, I never had a scene named Scene 1. I meant to delete an image while I had scene 3 selected and then I hit ctrl+z to undo it which left no scene selected in Advanced scene switcher.

glacial haven
#

the workflow is important

  1. create the scenes you want to switch between, then don't touch them anymore
  2. open the adv-ss options, configure the 2 macros, make sure all selection lists contain the correct scenes
  3. close the adv-ss options
  4. use the dock to stop the plugin and start it again
fallen eagle
#

But yeah it seems you've reached your limit with me now that youre using sarcasm when you don't even have the correct facts. Thanks for trying but there isn't a need to be rude lmao

glacial haven
#

ugh, and ctrl + z is kinda cursed, better not use it while testing

#

it can mess things up big time

#

like especially these things where you have a reference to a scene somewhere (e.g. in the selection list of the plugin) and then you ctrl + z it, that's kinda like pulling the carpet the macro was standing on away

lapis raptor
#

Hi, can somebody help me when you finish te current problem you are talking about?

#

thanks

oblique yewBOT
glacial haven
#

working with adv-ss is not exactly easy, there are non-obvious things happening like apparently your changes to a macro only becoming effective when you close the window and/or reenable the plugin - so it's quite important to work focused and go with the steps in the right order

#

that's the settings I just used for testing, also used the same scene names you had

image.png image.png
#

maybe it helps so you can do one more 1:1 comparison to your settings

How goes with this Penwyvern? No rush at all, I just didn't want to miss your message. Been having a busy weekend and about to go to Thanksgiving with family (Canadian) but just thought I'd check in

fossil wyvern
tall marten
#

Thanks again, seriously, no time pressure on you. Things have been very busy for me. My plan is whenever I get some time, I'll look at how you made the template section and add a bunch of suggested overrides so that the streamers can easily customize it. I figure the way it works it is if doesn't see the template header/footer it will generate one from the template.
If it does see a header/footer, it wipes and replaces all code below it with the downloaded CSS

fossil wyvern
tall marten
#

Oh, I could provide the template within the CSS if that can be done as well. I just don't want it to replace the customization section of someone did make changes in the customizations section

tall marten
fossil wyvern
#

ouki

fossil wyvern
tall marten
#

I want to make sure everyone is using a consistent overrides section, and if they want a new clean one, just wipe out the Custom CSS and it'll regenerate

tall marten
fossil wyvern
#

yup

tall marten
#

that would be perfect

#

If I ever update the overrides section template, I can just tell users if they want the new template, backup their Overrides to notepad, and wipe out the CSS field and let it regenerate

fossil wyvern
#

and that way, since it's on the CSS you distribute, if they have nothing, it does create an empty overrides section

tall marten
#

That would be perfect. I'll just need to make sure I have that template as part of my CSS is is easy

#

Like so:

image.png
fossil wyvern
#

yup, exactly

tall marten
#

Awesome, thanks.
For reference again here's the header/footer to look for:

/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/* --Add any Customizations and Overrides below this line-- */


/* --End of Customization Section-- */
/* Anything below this line will get be replaced next update! */
/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

I'm running into some issues with generating a .p12 file when trying to set up MacOS signing. Specifically, after I set up the certificate in my keychain, I can see it, but cant figure out any way to export both the private and public key in a .p12 file. Under the "My Certificates" tab, I can see my Developer ID Application and Installer cert. However, when I click the dropdown arrow, there is only an option for the private key. Under keys, I see both my private and public key for the certificate, but on selecting them both, I dont have an option to export a .p12 file (it is greyed out). Anyone else run into this?

ruby lichen
#

i can then save as a .p12 file

sand orchid
#

For advanced scene switcher, is there a macro condition that triggers when the computer sleeps or wakes from sleep? I'm trying to have it automatically start and stop the replay buffer when it detects those conditions.

serene echo
# ruby lichen you get his when you select both and right click?

Thank you. So I guess that is what I was confused on- if I add the drop down arrow to that, I see the private key, and if I select all 4 (the installer and application + private keys) I can export all of those as a .p12. However, that isn't what the readme says: "Using the Keychain app on macOS, export these your certificates (Application and Installer) public and private keys into a single .p12 file protected with a strong password" The public key is missing from that dropdown (and can only be seen in the "keys" panel, where I cant actually export the public key)

is there a way to speed up checking of individual macros in advss?

Hello I have a problem concerning obs to explain to you I use several angles of cameras and I make gaming and thus I would like to be able to rec all that at the same time history that with the assembly I can make what I want and especially not to lose in quality I specify that I am in config double pc. If anyone has any tips, please let me know.

glacial haven
#

I don't see how a single macro technically could have a higher frequency than the main loop frequency, if the main loop isn't doing a check then no macro check is executed - if you want the other direction and have a single macro do checks more rarely you should be able to accomplish that with sleep actions

I'm out of ideas.

hollow echo
#

but my gaming pc cannot even see the linux machine that I tried ... so I give up with linux ..

#

the Windows VM is visible from gaming pc

#

maybe I will try it even on my laptop computer

#

you know what is wierd? When I turn on the NDI on my VM ... the CPU usage went to like 20% .. and on my gaming PC ... it does not even change and is like on 0,5% cpu usage ... ofc my gaming CPU is much faster, but the VM CPU have 8 cores of 5900x and that is also really nice cpu

fossil wyvern
#

probably because ndi does the encoding on the gpu in the gaming pc, which it can't do on the vm

hollow echo
#

but the gaming pc can see itself so I guess that is just normal

#

oh right ...

untold jay
fossil wyvern
#

oh ouki

hey hey hey! how is everyone? sorry to bother i am planning to return to do content and i am clueless at obs stuff xd been trying to do a specific thing with moving my sources on OBS, using the Move plugin by Exeldro, main idea is when my alert (browser source) triggers, another source will be moved, i got the movement animation done but cant find any filters or tools within Exeldro's plugin that can be activated or triggered by a browser source alert, question i have is would anyone know or have any suggestions of any free tools or free filters or free plugins that could be activated by browser source that then activates the Exeldro move filter? sorry for the bother and thanks for any help and suggestions

tame jungle
#

is there simple ai plugin that enable by gun sound. like audio move filter

dusky basin
#

technically you could trigger it using websockets from the browser source, but at that point since you're coding in the browser source anyway you may as well just do your whole animation in the browser

#

the easiest way probably to get close is to use streamer.bot to set up a trigger on the same alert and do your move from there, but there's no guarantee the timing will match the browser source alert

undone panther
#

true it is not easily possible but not impossible

#

the source that will get animated sadly cant be coded on browser

#

its a webcam

dusky basin
#

ah

undone panther
#

like i mentioned i got the animation done

#

just need a trigger or activation filter of some kind that will be activated by alerts such as follower alert

dusky basin
#

well if you don't mind the timing being probably a bit off, you can use streamer.bot or a similar system to trigger based on your stream alert

undone panther
#

will give it a shot

#

will keep you updated

undone panther
#

ngl i am clueless xd just give me time will try to figure out what i am even doing xd

!sceneswitcher might also be able to do it based on the video condition, it can detect movement in a video feed or specific pixels/images so you should be able to trigger an action based on that

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.

glacial haven
#

before that plugin existed I had my own tool that would detect movement in a webcam and then show it for a while - that way it always showed the cat cam when my cat moved in it and later hid it again 🐱

does the browser source have audio? if so, isn't there audio triggers already built into the move plugin?

Has anyone here used a different windows installer setup software for their plugins than Inno Setup? I'm having an issue where the Inno Setup generated installer is flagged (seemingly randomly) as a virus/trojan by google Chrome. A VirusTotal scan of the installer shows that SecureAge and Trapmine both flag the installer as malicious. I submitted the installer to both SA and Trapmine. SA got back to me saying that it is a false positive, and fixed it. Trapmine never responded. Note- I do have a valid signing cert for my plugin.

#

The issue now is- I just released an update, and both Trapmine and SecureAge are both reporting the installer as a virus again, and a select few people are being blocked by Chrome from installing it. Apparently this happens somewhat often with Inno Setup generated installers, so I'm looking for an alternative, to see if anyone else has used some other installer software, as I am now ~$700 in with a signing cert, and am still having these issues :/

i've used installforge before as well as "advanced installer", both without any of those issues.

maybe that user has an addon that does this and it's not standard chrome behavior?

@fossil wyvern I just want to verify with A-SS in order to get the audio to be specific to each scene I have to program the macro to just mute when I transition to the scene or is there something else?

fossil wyvern
# thorny kindle <@766767315751665664> I just want to verify with A-SS in order to get the audio ...

Basically that's it.
"If current scene is xxx" as the condition is what you're looking for, make one macro like that for each scene
I would advise ticking the "perform action only on condition change, if you don't it'll keep setting the audio like that constantly while you're on the scene meaning no possibility to manually change it.

Also the audio condition has an option to set volume if you want finer control than just mute/unmute

Hi , I have some questions regarding a particular use case and want to find out whether is there a plugin available already or not

#

can anyone help >

#

?

oblique yewBOT
glacial haven
#

do you also record at that high resolution on the streaming PC for later editing? if the streaming PC literally only streams and you're streaming a lower resolution then might as well already lower the resolution of what you're sending to the streaming PC, it just means you drop the resolution a bit earlier in your production chain and otherwise shouldn't make much of a difference for streaming quality

#

if you really need to send that high resolution to your streaming PC because you also want to record there then you can try my xObsBeam plugin with JPEG compression instead of NDI, it has lower bandwidth demands and might work over a 1G connection, but be aware that you trade lower network bandwidth usage for higher CPU usage to compress the feed - there's always a trade-off and you need to check whether it works for you

#

alternatively get a network with more bandwidth πŸ˜‰

vast terrace
vast terrace
glacial haven
#

nah, I am talking about your local connection speeds, not your internet speed

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

the transmission from your gaming pc to your streaming pc (hopefully) isn't supposed to go through internet, it's within your local network

#

but maybe as part of switching to fiber you also get a new router with 2.5G LAN ports? that would make a difference, but you also need 2.5G ports on both of your computers and appropriate network cables

vast terrace
#

i know my main pc is 2.5G (and cable) but i know my steaming pc only has a 1g ethernet cable

glacial haven
#

yeah, the network connection between them is only as fast as its slowest component, if any part in the connection (port on the PC, cable, port on the switch/router...) doesn't support 2.5G then you get only 1G, so you'd need to get your streaming PC also a 2.5G connection

#

if the port it comes with doesn't have this then you could buy a separate LAN card for it (you need a free PCIe slot on the mainboard)

#

but your router/switch also need 2.5G ports, otherwise it's pointless

vast terrace
#

alright thank you so much for the help though boss, whenever i switch ISPs i’ll grab a better one or double check my router to see if it’s good

#

but as far as the NDI goes, should i just try 1080p 60fps to see if i can get the image over to the streaming pc?

glacial haven
#

yes, 1080p60 should be fine with a 1G connection

#

you could also use a capture card instead of NDI to transmit from your gaming to your streaming PC, but I don't have one myself so that would be up for others here to help you with that

#

not sure how good they are for such high resolutions but at least the ads say they can do 4K πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

vast terrace
#

HOWEVER avermedias ultra gamer live 2.1 (with an upcoming firmware update) says they can support 3140x1440 @ 240

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

but that's what you wanted to send to the streaming PC, right?

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

ah, well 😐

vast terrace
#

60fps makes me genuinely want to collapse in on myself like disappear from existence

mortal harbor
#

you can clone your display to your capture card at a difference refresh rate without it locking the display at that refresh rate.

#

for example i clone my monitor to my 4k60 pro at 120hz but play at 240hz.

vast terrace
#

but what about the aspect ratio? i had a small problem where when i did that, the capture was like stretched very weirdly

#

idk id have to check again

glacial haven
#

but honestly, investing a bit more time in trying to get it to work with the capture card might be more worth it than trying to do with NDI

mortal harbor
#

NDI is a nice tool but running a dual PC setup with NDI is a bit jank imo.

vast terrace
#

yeah 100% lmao i really don’t wanna do ndi 1181wahhhhh

mortal harbor
#

i haven't tried it but it seemed pretty interesting.

glacial haven
vast terrace
#

the main reason im getting a capture card is because for example,

at 5120x1440 @ 240fps (no hdr,vrr,gysnc etc.) playing cod mw2022 all low i will NEVER get 240, unless its just myself alone in a 1v1 map

even with my specs, the ryzen 9 7900x 12c 5.5ghz & 4090 oc with 64ggb 6000mhz ddr5 ram

glacial haven
#

just for the sake of satisfying my curiosity I would also be interested to know whether that resolution would work over 1G connection with JPEG compression πŸ˜›

#

I am like 90% sure it should but haven't tried myself, don't have a setup with such a high resolution

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

but you said the streaming PC has 1G LAN, right, you're not using Wifi?

#

oh, you get an actual crash of OBS, lol

#

but that's not a networking issue then

vast terrace
#

lmao

glacial haven
#

are you sure you're using the latest version of both the NDI plugin and the NDI runtime?

#

and the same version of it all on both PCs?

vast terrace
#

NDI 5.5.3 is the latest i assume
OBS NDI 4.11.1 is the latest i assume

i have both on both pc's

#

obs is the same version as well

glacial haven
#

NDI runtime is currently at 5.5.4 but I know that 5.5.3 also works fine

#

I'd also like to look at OBS logs of both PCs, maybe we can see something there

oblique yewBOT
#

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 β†’ Log Files β†’ Upload Current Log File
  5. Paste the URL into this Discord channel
glacial haven
#

(you can omit the part where you start a stream or recording if the crash occurs without it)

#

I can see that the crash is triggered by the NDI plugin starting the data capture, but the actual crash occurs in OBS when it's starting its output, hard to tell whether that is really NDI, could also be something with your output settings

vast terrace
#

sometimes when i turn it on, nothing happens.. and when it doesnt crash there is no display on the other side

#

should i just send the log rn even without the crash?

glacial haven
#

do you have some other non-standard settings here?

#

adding 917 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 960 milliseconds (source: VAIO)
that's unrelated to your problem, but is VAIO a sound device that actually needs to process audio on the streaming PC?

vast terrace
#

im using voicemeeter to send audio from gaming to streaming pc and vise versa via the VBAN ip thingy, havent set the audio up tbh in obs yet to be honest just set it up so i can hear stuff coming from the streaming pc

glacial haven
#

actually, wait a second

#

the crash log you sent before was from your streaming PC?

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

ah ok, then it makes sense - so I'd also need a full OBS log of the gaming PC then

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

ah, missed that one, only saw the streaming PC log

#

I mean, the obvious part would be to work on resolving the warnings you get from the log analyzer above first, because as I said, the crash happens when OBS tries to start its capturing output, so any GPU or capturing related issues might be causing it

then start another session and create logs again, this time just with the 1920x1080 60 setting right from the start, because that's what should definitely work

#

if it still doesn't work, what exactly do you get on the receiver side? can you not even select the "Gaming" NDI feed? or is it there, but it just stays blank when you select it?

vast terrace

& a sc of the ndi settings on streaming pc

so from the log starting the NDI output is working fine

#

what's on the receiver side?

vast terrace
#

a black screen 0 dsiplay

#

or do u want a log

#

i am using a phyiscal kvm switch as well

#

idk if that has to do with anything

glacial haven
#

I guess the log wouldn't look much different from before - does any of the two PCs have multiple network interfaces? e.g. do you have some virtual interfaces there that are also active? or is a Wifi card active in addition?

image.png
#

if so, can you try to disable any network adapter that is not needed for the NDI transmission?

vast terrace
#

gaming pc only has 1 2.5GbE ethernet network connections

#

streaming pc only has 1 ethernet connection thingy to

glacial haven
#

NDI is always a bit hard to debug, on the receiver side all that is in the log is this, but nothing about how it actually initiates a connection and the success of that

07:20:54.029: A/V thread for 'NDIβ„’ Source' started

#

can you try and disable the firewall on both PCs?

#

(and then restart both OBS instances)

vast terrace
#

restarted obs + disabled firewall (before i restarted obs)

glacial haven
#

still nothing?

vast terrace
#

nothing

glacial haven
#

lemme check quickly whether verbose logging would give us any more infos

vast terrace
#

alright

#

brb like 10-15min tops btw

glacial haven
#

nah, that thing doesn't log anything helpful in verbose mode either 😐

#

just to rule out network and make sure the NDI output is really functional and capable of transmitting something, can you try to add an NDI source on the gaming PC and see whether you can see the feed there? so basically just have OBS receive the feed from itself so it's happening within the same PC

vast terrace
#

how does ndi work? specifically

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

the internals of it are closed source, so only NewTek knows about the details - but the OBS-NDI plugin is grabbing video and audio data from OBS and hands that over to the NDI library provided by the runtime you installed - the library will then broadcast in the network using UDP that it has a feed to offer - receivers can see this offer and connect to the feed and start to receive it - the sender will then compress the feed using NDIs proprietary SpeedHQ codec and send it over the network - the receiver NDI library will receive the frames, uncompress them and hand them over to the OBS-NDI plugin on the receiver side, which then outputs it to OBS

#

even if it's a network connection, windows will detect when it's local (for your test within the same OBS) and not actually send the data over the network, which is why this test will rule out network issues

#

you can also try to download and install the NDI Tools on the streaming PC (they seem to call it "Core Suite" now) and use the NDI Studio Monitor tool to see if you can receive your NDI feed without OBS: https://ndi.video/tools/ndi-core-suite/

#

or on the gaming PC the NDI Screen Capture tool to produce a sender feed without OBS

#

I am not the biggest fan of NDI myself because of exactly issues like this, it's just hard to debug if it doesn't work properly, for example it does weird magic trying to utilize multiple network interfaces simultaneously if it finds them without ever telling you - but the one big advantage that it has is that NDI itself is a standard independent from OBS, so you always have various options for sender and receiver combinations - NDI also has a tool to ouput an NDI feed to a virtual webcam and so on, which can be really useful

#

so NDI as a bigger ecosystem is a quite good thing

#

it's just getting really annoying when it doesn't work within OBS πŸ˜›

proud adder
#

What's the point of NDI or use cases for someone completely out of the loop?

glacial haven
#

transmitting video and audio from one device to another - here specifically mostly from one OBS to another

#

it's an alternative for using a capture card for 2 PC setups (gaming PC and streaming PC usually)

vast terrace
#

idk why i felt the need to send a vid but yeah whenever i hide the ndi source i see the display cature behind it

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

I think I should have elaborated a bit more on this - the idea is to only look at the source preview, maybe it's even better to hide the actual source (eye icon disabled), otherwise you get a funny loop of NDI capturing itself capturing itself capturing...

image.png
#

or just move the source behind something that is visible in the preview

#

though I think even if you create the capture loop it wouldn't be black

#

so it's not your network, it's the sender not being able to produce the output data properly in the first place

#

you don't need to start a recording for that test, it should just work right away

#

but your NDI output start messages in the log look exactly like mine

#

I need to leave now for a while but tbh I ran out of ideas for now anyway, maybe someone else still has some - or in the meantime you try my xObsBeam plugin instead of NDI, if it's not working there either (which would be the case if it's really the OBS output not producing anything) at least we get some more useful log output there, especially in verbose mode: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/xobsbeam-beta.1705/

Thanks for your response, i see why u find my question too generic. I was just looking for a bit of advice, because this is the "plugin" section.

but i want obs camera

#

in whatsapp

lament leaf
#

I'm not saying it won't work. I am saying it isn't supported. If the Virtual Cam works other places, like in Discord, then it is working as intended and it is Whatsapp that is blocking it.

prisma aurora
lament leaf
#

If other ones work and OBS Virtual Camera works in places like Discord, but it doesn't show up on Whatsapp then most likely yes.

#

There is the forum post that is in that screenshot imsge.

prisma aurora
lament leaf
#

Nope, Virtual camera is software

#

There is no hardware aspect to it

prisma aurora
fossil wyvern
#

there's no need for drivers

#

since it's not hardware

lament leaf
#

Again, no. You can literally uninstall the virtual camera without uninstalling OBS. There is no hardware aspect to it.
If you can get it to work in WhatsApp, great. However that is a WhatsApp limitation, not an OBS one.

I am glad Altercam works, that, however, doesn't affect OBS not working. The virtual cam is working as intended if it works in other places like Discord.

Can I color code scene names?

vast terrace
# muted hatch Can I color code scene names?

that sounds like a cool idea, but i never heard of something like that.. if you wanna do something similar you could put tags in fron of your scenes like

[C] Camera 1
[C] Camera 1 FX

then just filter scenes with those tags

#

or are you asking how to do this from plugin code, since we're in the #plugins-and-tools channel?

#

or does this only work on sources? never tried on scenes I think OBSing

hallow vale
#

Only on sources, I just checked. I wonder how hard it would be to make a plugin that does it? A scene is a source after all. Hm, I might need to go learn some stuff haha

glacial haven
#

ah, well, yeah it would be nice if it could work on scenes too then

slow rapids
#

hello πŸ™‚

Does anyone have experience with the source record plugin? Mine causes OBS to crash somewhat frequently (maybe once per 10 hours of streaming), mostly when I turn off or on something that is being recorded. I've also had it crash when attempting to switch scene collections, the OBS error saying that it had to do with a plugin not releasing resources.

I've been told that the recording codec can really affect this plugin in particular and was wondering if anyone had insight on that. I currently have it set to "use same encoder as stream", and my stream is x264

terse jetty
#

is there a plugin/tool to record in DNxHR? need a codec that's made for editing. i know that streamfx has it but im not gonna support such a scummy tactic

I would like to stream to YouTube and Twitch simultaneously (for now). For URLs, do I just enter my account, or do I have to add the URL of each stream I do? And for the stream key, is it permanent, or does it change every stream?

mortal harbor
#

So the person I was talking to just went offline. Can someone else help me?

spiral ruin
#

Simply connect your account. In fact, you can make two Profiles in OBS, one for YT and its associated settings, and one for Twitch. In that way you simply switch profiles and it will automatically have your connected service account for where you want to stream to.

mortal harbor
#

And I can use this with the plugin to multistream?

spiral ruin
#

Not exactly. Using the plugin means you'll have one account connected in the Profile and the other in the plugin. Before you go to the trouble of setting up all of it, make sure to review the Twitch Terms of Service. They don't like multistreaming the same live broadcast to multiple services besides them.

mortal harbor
#

Wow. I just looked it up. That sucks.

spiral ruin
#

It's their service. Just want to make sure you know the risks, so you can decide what to do.

Using OBS Teleport and as soon as I play a game, my streaming pc(Intel Tower) OBS freezes while the gaming laptop(AMD lenovo legion) OBS is fine. When I close the game it quickly catches the frames back up to current on the streaming pc. Not sure if its a setting I need to change or hardware, please help.

hallow vale

Should be in the Lenovo software

delicate merlin
#

okay thank you will try

civic pawn
#

I'm using Sorayuki's OBS Multi RTMP plugin. I'd love to play music, however, since I'm multistreaming to YouTube, I'm getting 20+ strikes per live stream.

Anyone know of a way to have a different audio go to youtube live? Similar to how I have it setup so my Twitch VODs don't have music.

#

I can't select anything wit hthe audio mixer one if that would work. It's greyed out

image.png
#

Would this work - ?

image.png
delicate merlin
glacial haven
#

nah, Ethernet is fine

#

but it sounds like the bandwidth is not sufficient as soon as you play, which normally shouldn't be the case, so if one of the computers have some kind of prioritization software that could explain it, unless you only play an offline or single player game when it happens?

#

also open the Stats from the View menu in OBS and check whether you drop frames

#

on both systems

untold jay
#

@civic pawn This is correct, now go to edit > advanced audio properties and untick all audio sources that might play copyrighted content for audio stream 2.

civic pawn
#

this is what I have in there @untold jay -- that's what I do for Twitch. (2 is my audience mix)

#

And to be sure -- since the drop down in the RTMP plugin gives 6 options...I would choose "4" because from top to bottom in my audio devices, there are 6 options and my VOD track is the 4th?

untold jay
#

@civic pawn No, that's not how it works.
If you choose track 1 in Settings>Output>Stream, that means everything under the "1" checkbox will be sent to the streaming output. If you choose track 4 in obs-multi-rtmp, that means everything under the "4" checkbox will be sent to that specific output.

civic pawn
#

nope. I hear the music with that method lol

#

No matter which "audio mixer" I seem to choose in this plugin..still hearing the music..

untold jay
#

@civic pawn You forgot to untick the other things.

#

All of these will go to track 2.

image.png
civic pawn
#

I don't untick any of that for my VOD though? The VOD track there ONLY misses the music. Which is all I want the YT stream to miss

civic pawn
untold jay
#

@civic pawn These checkboxes determine which audio sources to go which audio streams. So if you choose to send audio stream 4 to Youtube, only audio sources where "4" if checked will be sent.

civic pawn
#

Also, like I said, all of my audio comes in through my beacn audience mix (music, game, mic, etc.) -- so if I turn the "stream" mix off I don't think they'd hear anything?

#

So those sources aren't separated. Cause they're coming through audience mix

#

As you can see. I only have two non-OBS things. Stream (audience mix w/ music) and VOD (audience mix without music)

untold jay
#

You're using something other than obs-studio to mix audio?

civic pawn
#

BEACN Mix Create

untold jay
#

Make another mix without the sources you don't want sent to Youtube, if possible. Or use obs-studio to mix instead.

civic pawn
#

And would I be able to make it so THAT new audio mix wouldn't make me hear everything double?

vale vine
#

That's the purpose of the vod track mix of the beacn create routing

civic pawn
#

Yes, but I can't get it to work through it for a YouTube RTMP despite it working for Twitch

#

I want to send my VOD track to it.

vale vine
#

Don't send "stream" to track 2 as I'm assuming that's the audience mix

#

Audience mix should = the mix for live on twitch with music.

Vod mix should = the same as audience, minus what you don't want on vod(and in this case, the track you want to also send to YT)

civic pawn
#

Okay...so for track 2, I unchecked stream. Which "mix" # should I select then?

vale vine
#

Track 2

#

Mix 2

#

However it's labeled in multi rtmp

#

I'm assuming it's labeled differently due to the vast language difference

civic pawn
#

Not workin'. Music loud and clear in youtube stream

vale vine
#

Screenshot routing table from beacn app

civic pawn
vale vine
civic pawn
#

Wait I think I got it -- so once I unchecked that last part, despite it letting me change it in real time, I needed to restart it for it to take effect

vale vine
#

Yea.

civic pawn
#

So it was the unchecking of the "Stream" in track 2

vale vine
#

Can't change where audio is going via tracks once output is started

#

That should probably get locked during an active output

civic pawn
#

Heck yeah - thanks a lot folks!

that is not what you are downloading.

dawn leaf
#

I missed the assests my apologies

mortal harbor
#

it's fine, but when you approach the problem with the idea of "the log is wrong" and "ive done that 3 times now", it makes things more difficult than they need to be.

i setup the commercial thing in advss wiki, but i am curious, can i use similar functions for the commercials so I dont have to set a time, it just goes back after 1-2 commercials

fossil wyvern
sleek lynx
#

a scene with a vlc playlist

fossil wyvern
#

because what you can do is basically the exact same as the comercial tutorial in the wiki, once a certain time has passed, it'll wait for the next file to play to the end and then switch back

#

alternatively you can also do it so that it switches after a certain number have been played no matter the length

sleek lynx
#

i didnt quote right

#

but id like it to play 2

fossil wyvern
#

if you want to do it after a number no matter the length, basically, use this condition here to increment a variable, and in another macro, once the variable has reached the given number you want, do the switch and reset the variable to 0

i just dont want to have to set the time, because they are all different, will never be a certain amount of time

if it don't work, gimme screenshots of your macro and we'll see to fixing it

sleek lynx
#

hrmm, i think i need something in the commercial timer macro to associate it with the variable? right now, it switched to the commercial scene right, but now it just loops all the commercials

fossil wyvern
#

so the variable is never actually going up

sleek lynx
#

yeah i just saw that

fossil wyvern
#

also don't forget to reset the variable to 0 when you switch off from the commercial scene

spring citrus
#

is there a plugin that can change inputs from a toggle to a hold key?

fossil wyvern

otherwise it'll be back at 2 when you switch to the commercials again

#

I tested with using multi rtmp to twitch. And it 100% does indeed honor adding or removing a source to/from a track while live

#

It isn't smart enough to change behavior based on stream service, but does indeed work properly

glacial haven
# severe cloak no antivrus + you can see fresh install of windows with no bloatware

the screenshot there doesn't show any antivirus status, that's a separate setting - I can screenshot it for you later when I am at the PC but you could also just try and search for "virus" on the start menu and you should be able to find the antivirus settings to either temporarily disable it or unblock this installer specifically by checking the block history

#

Plugin installers behave very similar to malicious software, because they self extract and write to admin protected areas that belong to other already installed programs to place executable files there - which is why they often cause false positives

severe cloak
#

i deleted the old install and reinstalled the windows installer one

glacial haven
#

really strange, and did you check whether that path actually exists under the OBS installation folder? maybe something already went wrong during OBS installation and not everything was installed correctly?

#

can you show a sc of that folder and its contents?

severe cloak
glacial haven
#

and the 64bit folder in obs-plugins?

#

would also be interesting whether it was able to copy at least the xObsBeam.pdb file which is supposed to be in the same folder

severe cloak
glacial haven
#

hm, so that one is missing too

mortal harbor
#

may i suggest downloading the zip and copying the files manually

glacial haven
#

well I think your best option then is to try the 7z instead of the installer

#

yes, that, thanks OBSHeart

mortal harbor
#

it will contain these and you can just drag both folders directly into your obs-studio folder that you first screenshotted.

image.png
vast terrace
#

gotcha

glacial haven
#

is that Windows 10? maybe I should try whether I can reproduce this on a fresh VM install, it's really bugging me that such a simple copy is failing

severe cloak
#

yeah

#

os corrupted last night again because i was trying to be funny, so this time it realyl genuinely is a fresh install (today)

severe cloak
glacial haven
#

we have made sure the folder is right, AV is not active and you said you're running it as admin (which the installer should request automatically anyway) so I am running out of ideas what could be causing it

mortal harbor
severe cloak
#

can confirm

glacial haven
#

yeah, try starting OBS and you should have it under Tools in the menu

severe cloak
#

its there and works

glacial haven
#

ok good, phew

severe cloak
#

i downloaded it on the streaming pc tho should i do it again ofc on the main pc

glacial haven
#

yes you need it on both

#

would be interesting to know whether the installer is working there or the same is happening

vast terrace
#

lol same problem

#

i just did it the manual way tho dw

mortal harbor
#

this isn't some modified version of windows you are installing?

glacial haven
#

but the error message interestingly shows a different path

vast terrace
#

nah modified windows is to scary for me

glacial haven
#

in the previous error message it was a relative path

#

now it's an absolute one

vast terrace
glacial haven
#

anyway, when the zip extraction is working you should be able to get it working

vast terrace
#

uh yeah i just dont have the slightest idea on how it works tho

#

is there a tut somewhere

glacial haven
#

the most simple form is on the sender PC (the gaming PC usually) you open Tools -> Beam and start the sender

mortal harbor
vast terrace
#

done

glacial haven
#

then on the receiver PC add a Beam Receiver source

mortal harbor
glacial haven
#

so many network interfaces thonk

#

pick the one you want to use for the transmission

#

and you should already start to see whatever the sender is currently showing

vast terrace
#

it says no beam feeds found

glacial haven
#

your still have disabled the firewall on both computers?

#

is one of them on Wifi?

mortal harbor
#

they are both hardwired?

#

heh

vast terrace
#

all firewalls disabled + all eth cables going to 1 switch

glacial haven
#

because multicast UDP Traffic which is used for discovery is often blocked by routers on Wifi

#

oh, and there are switches which are simply not capable of transmitting such packets

vast terrace
#

7346pepehmmm i bought a 2.5gb one

glacial haven
#

yeah but that gut nothing to do with link speed, it's just about which protocols it supports

vast terrace
#

thats the specifc one i have

glacial haven
#

in that case you need to go to the Beam options on the sender PC again and set a fixed port instead of having it picked automatically, just leave the default port number set

#

then open the network interface list, you need to identify your Ethernet IP address

#

if unsure show a screenshot of the list here

vast terrace
#

yeah so on gaming pc > set to the only network interface (my ethernet cable & the port 13629) and on streaming pc > same network interface and turned on manual set to my gaming pc's IP with the same port

glacial haven
#

yes

#

and do you see a feed from the gaming PC now? make sure that it's actually showing something for testing πŸ˜‰

vast terrace
#

and yeah i got a display capture on

glacial haven
#

then upload OBS logs from both PCs please

vast terrace
