Would u know which file to look at to troubleshoot the error in configuration

Also I got a warning that cmake generator hasn't been selected

[weak escarp]

I only know it is something cmake that goes wrong

[rotund abyss]

Ok thank you

[regal breach]

The actual error is above that

[rotund abyss]

Do u mean the "build" ?

[regal breach]

No, you scroll back and read the errors

It's not going to be marked in red

[rotund abyss]

Ok I will take a look at it tonight, thank you 🙂

[rare burrow]

can someone answer this question for me while live streaming with OBS on youtube. When you manage the broadcast it comes up with the made for kids button. In youtub I have adults only. What color is the dot for no children setting? is it the white one or black one?

[spiral ruin]

White (filled in circle) means that is the selected option. So, from your screenshot your broadcast is set to "No, it's not made for kids."

[rare burrow]

thankyou papa it was messing me up and overriding my settings on youtube. thanks again

i am trying to get digital baseball to show with OBS but not working hmm

[hallow vale]

Are you using a game capture source?

[glacial haven]

now seeing that someone actually managed to do it, I'd also like to try and compile my plugins on macOS, but I don't have a mac and never used one in general, got no clue about the mac world whatsoever - anyone here with experience about setting up a virtual environment with macOS for compiling and testing OBS plugins on a windows host?

ideally VirtualBox based, would want to avoid Hyper-V - I don't even know what version of macOS I am supposed to buy to begin with, can I build on the latest version and have it work on older versions, or should I rather build on an older version so that it's working there but also upwards compatible to newer versions?

my plugins are .NET NativeAOT and that doesn't support cross-compiling, so I can't just build them directly on windows

[wary escarp]

No idea how that works out with the .NET stuff, but yes generally you are able to (and should) compile on the latest version of macOS

You can specify the oldest version that you want to target

[glacial haven]

ah, nice. and what does targeting an older version mean in this context? it compiles against older base libs which newer versions are downwards compatible to?

[mortal harbor]

I need help

How do I sort out steam delay

[obsidian agate]

all streams have a natural delay, which is the time it takes your video to get to the streaming service, and that video to get sent to the viewers (who will all have varying delay)

how much delay do you have?

[mortal harbor]

About 5 minutes

[obsidian agate]

!s well thats quite a lot for sure. Go to a support channel and we and other folks can look into what may be causing that

[winter hatch]

Thanks for the suggestion @ruby lichen 😍

[obsidian agate]

ew, chatGPT

[fervent marsh]

A problem occurred somewhere in the SSL/TLS handshake. You really want the error buffer and read the message there as it pinpoints the problem slightly more. Could be certificates (file formats, paths, permissions), passwords, and others.```

...so, set up your code to get/print more info about the failure.

Hey there, i just found the Move Transition Plugin fpr OBS. Im not sure if it the right thing for the job, or i just dont know how to get it to work for my case. Maybe somebody could help me out here.

im trying to animate Sources if the scene they are in becomes visiable in the output and if the scene gets switch to a different scene they go back to there starting position.

Is there a way to achive that with Move transition?

[civic dew]

Hi, so I'm trying to add bongocat to stream labs. But its not working. How do I do it

[lofty portal]

I just figured out yesterday that Move Transition was making my OBS (v53, Windows) crash when switching scene collections. YMMV. The install instructions are here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move.913/ Are you on Windows?

[oblique yew]

As Streamlabs Desktop is not maintained by the OBS Project, we are unable to provide support for it. For help with Streamlabs Desktop, visit the Streamlabs Support Center.

Note: You can also use Streamlabs wide selection of on-screen widgets directly in OBS Studio. To learn how, follow Stream Layout Tutorial 2: Alerts & Chat Box.

oops

didn't realize I actually did that silly fiters

filters

[ocean palm]

Create two move source filters on the scene in question. One is called something like “Move thing into frame”, the other “Move thing out of frame”

Set the out of frame movement to be triggered on the activate / show event. Set the next move drop down to the move in into frame filter and choose some delays to get your timing right.

On scene change the source should immediately move out of frame and back in after the delay you set and will reset and reload every time you change scenes to this one.

[marble anchor]

@ocean palm thanks a lot ❤️

[thorny silo]

How do I remove plugins from OBS?

[glacial haven]

if this is windows you probably used an installer, in that case just remove from windows "Add and remove software", the same way you would uninstall any other software

[thorny silo]

That isn’t working

[glacial haven]

you get an error message when you try? or it's not on the list of installed software?

[thorny silo]

I would delete it and it would reappear whenever I load up OBS

[glacial haven]

the most likely cause for this is if you forgot to close OBS while uninstalling the plugin - can you try to install the plugin again using its normal installer, then once more uninstall? and make sure OBS is not running while doing this

if you want to make really sure, you could reboot your PC first before doing the install and uninstall actions

this will make sure that no potentially crashed OBS instances are still locking the plugin file in the background

which plugin are you trying to uninstall btw?

[thorny silo]

The Streamlabs OBS plugin

[glacial haven]

didn't even know they had an OBS plugin, I thought they made an OBS clone of their own

[sharp parcel]

its currently in beta and i was lucky to be a beta tester

[fervent marsh]

What does it... do?

[thorny silo]

It adds stuff to OBS like chat, recent events, and stuff like that, but with the StreamLabs look

[fervent marsh]

sounds.... exciting

Are you checking your recordings in a video editing program? Media players only play one track at a time.

[bleak pewter]

a while ago, I found a little wonder in exeldro's github, called Device Switcher, does anyone know if they plan to release it at some point? the option of having a list of devices where you can monitor something with a single click seems spectacular to me.

also the option to restart my webcat at a single click

[obsidian agate]

oh that looks wonderful

[bleak pewter]

it is!, makes very easy to see filters, monitor the device, i don't really know what the retains option do, but i really liked it, and i was lucky enough to borrow it from the github actions pane

[hallow vale]

Here's a weird little thing I found.

Trying to uninstall Own3d Pros plugin and when I hit ok, it says "advanced-scene-switcher"

I'll uninstall it manually, no problem. But does anyone know why it would say this and if it actually would uninstall adv-ss if I did it?

[bleak pewter]

if i had to guess, i could say that all plugins you install creates a uninstall executable on OBS folder, and the one related to own3D may have been overwritten with the ASW one, so if you uninstall it that way ASW will be uninstalled and not own3D

[hallow vale]

Oh, that makes sense. I will look around in files a bit, since I am going there anyway

[slate ingot]

[rotund cedar]

hey guys does anyone have a aduio capture but rather than adding what you want it's like a desktop capture of all audio and you can add exlude things from picking up the sound

[spiral ruin]

That would be the third party win-capture-audio plugin, that can have a "capture all audio except these apps on a blacklist". However it hasn't received any updates in over two years, so you use it at your own risk.
The preferred method is application audio capture source (one for each item), or use software like Sonar or Voicemeeter to mix at the specific audio into outputs you want to connect to OBS.

[untold jay]

win-capture-audio hasn't received updates because it's working and there is no need to change that. And everything is a "use at your own risk", including obs-studio itself.

[mortal harbor]

interesting take considering there are users in the support channels almost daily reporting crashes that will never be fixed, i don't see your point really.

it is good to set proper expectations when recommending something.

[untold jay]

I've had people report one of the two implementations not working while the other is working, still no idea why.

[mortal harbor]

ok, feel free to ping me next time that happens and i will try to figure that out for you.

@regal breach I have taken a look at the errors like u said, so from above the screenshot does that i mean i need to install visual studio or do i have to do smth else ?

[analog ruin]

yes, you need to install visual studio. Make sure you also include the desktop dev stuff, and reboot after installing

[rotund abyss]

thank you, as for the desktop dev where may i find it, isit under here ?

sorry but im not really a programmer so im a bit lost atm

[analog ruin]

Scroll down. Its called "Desktop Dev with c++"

Make sure you bring the c++ ATL, and the minimum level of win 10 SDK as per the guide

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/build-instructions-for-windows

[rotund abyss]

thank you 🙏

[rotund abyss]

@analog ruin sorry for the ping, but would u know what im supposed to do here ?

[analog ruin]

@rotund abyss What are you doing? Trying to compile or make a plugin?

[rotund abyss]

I'm trying to build exeldro's dir-watch-media plugin for windows

[analog ruin]

alright. I am not familiar with the build steps, but it kind of looks like you downloaded the files from github, instead of doing a git checkout

[rotund abyss]

ouh

[analog ruin]

https://github.com/exeldro/obs-dir-watch-media
See the instructions here. You will be building "in-tree"

so you need to have OBS setup (checked out via GIT), and working well. Like you can compile OBS

then you do a git checkout on this repo as per their instructions. Add it to CmakeLists, and rebuild 🙂

I've never tried doing in-tree builds of an external plugin, so I am not going to be of much help besides what I just said

but I know its the way going forward, and how things are designed, so best stick with that

[indigo kestrel]

why i can't use quick sync output

[rotund abyss]

ok i will try to figure out from here, thank you for you help 🙂

[sick moth]

Now that Zoom has good SDKs and apps like vMix, Wirecast and Mimolive are getting integrations, has there ever been talk of a Zoom plugin for OBS?

[regal breach]

what exactly do you expect it to do?

if you're talking about this https://www.vmix.com/knowledgebase/article.aspx/170/adding-zoom-calls-to-vmix-with-return-video-and-audio then this isn't anything special

[sick moth]

Be able to extract indivudiual participant sources with iso audio. This is what the other implementations does.

It is in beta in vmix now, so no, that is not it.

[regal breach]

please show me articles showing such integrations

[sick moth]

https://www.vmix.com/help27/Zoom.html

I'll find some more, two secs.

[regal breach]

oh wow that is big

[sick moth]

yes the new sdk is very powerful I think.

Video demo of an earlier beta: https://youtu.be/TfLfVChINtY?t=113

[regal breach]

however that one doesn't show capability to get individual feeds

[sick moth]

the video shows how to do multiple individual feeds from zoom in vmix from an earlier beta. Some things have changed now.

[regal breach]

my mistake, it does let you choose which participant's video

[sick moth]

It is close to release now, so you could try for free for 60 days to check it out: https://forums.vmix.com/posts/m112099-vMix-27-Preview-Released#post112099

The big use case here is when you want guests that are not familiar or used to "streamer" solutions where it is much easier to get them in via Zoom, a tool they are probably familiar with.

also in corporate settings you are often locked down to certain solutions, and that is often Zoom.

[regal breach]

i am also personally a fan of this capability, and would probably make my setup simpler

atm i run two zoom instances, both with 2 windows in order to do it

but 50 participants would probably be a mess in ui selection

[sick moth]

Exactly. It is either this or a Zoom Rooms license with NDI out capability today. (or Zoom ISO)

[regal breach]

only the devs here would be able to answer whether zoom contacted obs devs

but this can definitely be made as a zoom plugin

https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/windows/get-started/download/

here's the sdk to anyone interested

[sick moth]

Yes, I assume this would need to be a plugin and not a native integration because of licencing.

[proven vault]

I want to know if I use OBS and receive a live stream video on HD Box receiver from satellite and input sport video or live concert to OBS via HDMI, can I split the reporter vocal or singer vocal and mute that then keep ambient sound and have live stream output ?

[slate badger]

Hey people I have a question, not sure if this is correct spot for this thou.

I want to have a little custom twitch authorisation plugin but I want to expose the user token generated by it to the browser sources so I can use it in it (within the streamelements context) to do some stuff that is not available with default permissions (polls and predictions). Is there some smart way to do this without having to have a custom application run outside obs? I want to avoid that. (does not matter if its local or hosted somewhere, its a no-go)

[spiral ruin]

You will likely encounter content copyright protection on the video and audio from the HD Box receiver. Beyond that, the box would need to output separate vocal channels from the rest of the audio, so again it comes back that source as the issue.

[proven vault]

is there any plugin to do that ?

[spiral ruin]

No. The HD box or whatever you use to watch the live broadcast, the one you want to copy, would have to support splitting the audio. But that doesn't mean you also have legal permission to use any part or all of their broadcast, in your recordings or in your live broadcast.

[proven vault]

maybe I don't want to remove vocal but I need to control the vocal sound volume and ambient volume sepaately.

[spiral ruin]

You can only do any of that separate volume control if it is separated at the source, so what you watch on the HD receiver. There are no plugins or software to do that; the program has to be broadcasted that way.

hi everyone! is there autotune plugin for obs?

[fossil wyvern]

there might be some vst plugins to have a pitch correction effect, not sure but that's the most likely place to look in

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio supports many VST 2.x plugins which can be applied to your audio sources as a filter. For more information, see the VST 2.x Plugin Filter guide.

[hallow star]

@untold jay Hi thanks for your return , i would like something with a leaderboard for Know if students understand course in live

[untold jay]

@hallow star I don't know of anything like that, but perhaps you could use a google spreadsheet? Those canbe edited from multiple devices and will update on all of them, so you can create a chart and update its values.

[mortal harbor]

i have been in various school and work trainings in the past where they used kahoot so i'd recommend that and then you can capture in OBS if you need to.

[oblique yew]

[mortal harbor]

@crisp skiff in regards to #windows-support message yes, it is likely the plugin.

i haven't used it so i'm not much help but it is probably the encoding settings you have chosen with the plugin.

[crisp skiff]

I see it wasn't being used in the scene I was recording on but can the fact it was installed still cause the crash ?

[mortal harbor]

i don't think you need to be on a specific scene. it will be active if it is added as a filter anywhere in your collection.

[crisp skiff]

I see ok

So even if not using it a plugin is still active

[cobalt crag]

@fossil wyvern i think i got it, but can i ignore a certain time ?
because between both scenes there is champ selection et loading screen, and sinces it doesn't match both macros, it would just swap anyways

[fossil wyvern]

yeah there should be a way to have it act obly if it matches or doesn't match for a certain period of time

usually at the end if the condition's first line

[cobalt crag]

So how should i make it ?

If the lobby has changed, the waiting time between the end of this scene and the game beginning can be different depending on people's connection/pc

[fossil wyvern]

well, alternatively, you can also find something to match there

tbh most games ui have some constant points to match

[cobalt crag]

i can, but i want this to be the same scene as the second one

idk if its clear i'm sorry im not fluent

[fossil wyvern]

you can have more than one condition for an action

[cobalt crag]

Ohhhh

so i can add if the video matches to select area, don't switch ?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah

[cobalt crag]

Will try

ping me in like 5 hours, I'll be on my computer and able to help further

[cobalt crag]

I wanted to stream before :/

[fossil wyvern]

can try showing me what you have set rn?

[cobalt crag]

i've tried many things to be fair

[fossil wyvern]

why are you using "has changed" instead of trying to match a part of it?

[cobalt crag]

Cause i can't make it match exactly

And patterns look like it doesn't work much

[fossil wyvern]

well that is not gonna work any better

follow the guide here for the condition
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Activate-overlay-to-hide-parts-of-the-screen

[cobalt crag]

Yeah i've checked it but idk having it in english doesn't help ;o;

[winter crystal]

good morning

i have a quick question

[pallid umbra]

Heya ! I am trying to develop a plugin and wanted to know are there like any guidelines, rules or best practices I should follow to keep it compatible to obs ?

[vale vine]

!plugintemplate maybe this has infos?

[oblique yew]

A template for new OBS plugins including boilerplate code and CI scripts can be found at https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate

[pallid umbra]

ah thank you !

I am mostly worried about using third party tools like firebase or docker and if that would make it ineligible to be considered as a plugin ig

[heady portal]

anyone can help me ?

[oblique yew]

As Streamlabs Desktop is not maintained by the OBS Project, we are unable to provide support for it. For help with Streamlabs Desktop, visit the Streamlabs Support Center.

Note: You can also use Streamlabs wide selection of on-screen widgets directly in OBS Studio. To learn how, follow Stream Layout Tutorial 2: Alerts & Chat Box.

[vapid charm]

Think you accidentally added something here you didn't mean to.

[cobalt crag]

Are u available ?

or anyone that knows how advances scene switchers work ?

[bright sapphire]

I don't know much about Advanced Scene Swither but there is a pretty big Wiki - https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki

[cobalt crag]

Yeah i know, but what i try to do is a bit complicated, and doesn't work properly

[pallid umbra]

Does obs has any functionality to connect different users over the internet that a plugin can utilize ?

[lament girder]

@oblique yew How can I know what is my hardware encoder is?

[hard jay]

what exactly do you mean by "connect different users"? Are you trying to share settings?

[hard jay]

Try the support channels or use the autoconfig from the Tools menu if you need help with basic settings. x264 is a software encoder, pretty much everything else (QSV, NVENC, AMF/AMD) are hardware encoders.

[lament girder]

Would QuickSync.H264 count as a hardware encoder?

[hard jay]

Yes, that is a hardware encoder.

QSV = QuickSync Video

[lament girder]

Thank you.

[pallid umbra]

Basically just initiate a connection between two users so that they can share p2p data between themselves after it.
From what I've seen of protocols like WebRTC you need a STUN server to just initiate the connection between the clients. After which the clients can just talk to themselves without touching anything else.
I was wondering if OBS had any kind of functionality for something like that.

as It'd make my life A LOT simpler haha

[hard jay]

vdo.ninja is probably what you want

But OBS isn't really a point-to-point application.

You can with some effort, but we're not really designed to be p2p.

[pallid umbra]

Fair enough

[hard jay]

Much better off just using traditional webconferencing apps or checking out something like vdo.ninja

I believe STUN/TURN/etc. support for WebRTC output is planned at some point, but that's mostly being worked on by a third party so I don't have specifics.

[pallid umbra]

I was actually hoping to like bring the kind of functionality of vdo.ninja to the obs environment without going through a 3rd party site. I guess it's a lot easier said than done haha

I'd hop over there, lots of likeminded folks I imagine :)

[pallid umbra]

ay thanks !

[fossil wyvern]

I am now, show me what you got

[cobalt crag]

Here 's the first one

And second

On the paper, it works, but something does trigger sometimes and still will randomly change the scene

[fossil wyvern]

ok, give me full-size screenshots of the game in the lobby and not in the lobby

[cobalt crag]

and between those two, there is the champ select and the loading screen

[fossil wyvern]

screenshots of those too, please

[cobalt crag]

I can't show u the real loading one as i'm solo though

champ select

Loading

[fossil wyvern]

what's the difference between this one and the "real" loading one?

[cobalt crag]

Elements as written things are not at the same place

i think the only thing that doesn't change is the valorant logo on the top right

[fossil wyvern]

this, right?

[cobalt crag]

Yes

But i'm not really sure tbh

[fossil wyvern]

ouki, we'll try with that, and see if it works

for the two others, do those specific elements always stay there or do they change?

as in the cog wheel and the lil square

[cobalt crag]

the wheel is the same, at the same place when u go in settings while playing (and we all the time go in there)

The lil square doesn't i think

[glacial haven]

hehe, detecting Valo states and events using adv-ss, that's also still on my to-do list

[fossil wyvern]

is there any element on the champ selection screen that doesn't ever change no matter what you do in that screen?

[cobalt crag]

The agents at the bottom

Well nah i lied

it changes depending on if someone chooses one or not

[fossil wyvern]

but do their face ever change?

or their position

[cobalt crag]

they don't they just become grey if chosen by someone else or highlighted if i choose one

[fossil wyvern]

hmm ouki, I'll check a bit gimme 5

[glacial haven]

riot did redesign them a few times in the past ^^

[cobalt crag]

Yeah but it's not something that is going to happen everygame ^^

[fossil wyvern]

yee we can always redo the pics if there's a design change

same, the ui can get redesigned

[glacial haven]

yeah, though still more often than I would like

[cobalt crag]

yup

[glacial haven]

if only they'd provide a proper API to grab these states like CS

but their APIs return only match infos and more long term stats

[fossil wyvern]

ok, two questions :

• what's the max number of agents that'll ever get selected
• just to make sure, you want to be in scene 3 when the game is running, and in scene 4 when you're in either of the other 3 screens?

[cobalt crag]

5

[fossil wyvern]

ouki

[cobalt crag]

Scene 3 can be select, loading and in game BUT AT LEAST in game
scene 4 can be lobby select and loading BUT AT LEAST lobby

[fossil wyvern]

oh wait, you don't care what scene you're in when in select and loading?

because that greatly simplifies it

?

[cobalt crag]

sorry had to afk

[fossil wyvern]

np, dw

[cobalt crag]

Yeah nah i don't mind

[fossil wyvern]

ok. is the background of the lobby always the same?

[cobalt crag]

Mhhhh

[fossil wyvern]

even when you click the settings?

[cobalt crag]

If i dont click on the house, the background doesn't change

[fossil wyvern]

the house is going back to main menu?

sorry, but doing this without having ever played valorant means I have a lot of questions XD

[cobalt crag]

its a cinematic that changes every patch

[cobalt crag]

I mean u're the only one trying to help soooo ofc don't worry

[fossil wyvern]

ouki, gimme 5

[cobalt crag]

Yup tell me

[cobalt crag]

U okay ?

[fossil wyvern]

yee sorry, smth came up, I'll give you the thing when I'll have it done

[cobalt crag]

Alright

[fossil wyvern]

ok, so, we'll have two macros, with each three conditions.
Firstly, download those two pictures, that's the ones you'll use to do the matches.

[cobalt crag]

Damn u answered right when i decided to go afk ahaha

[fossil wyvern]

dw go afk if you need, I'll type everything up and be at your disposition whenever

[cobalt crag]

its ok i want to end this quickly so if i can do it before going to sleep that'd be amazing

[hallow vale]

ILY Pen. I'm working on something similar myself and just watching is good for me to learn

[fossil wyvern]

the first condition is the same for both macros, it's this, change it so that the title matche's valorant's window title.
The point of it is to give you back control whenever valorant is not the focused window

[cobalt crag]

But it'll aways be the focus window ? unless i alt tab for something else ?

[fossil wyvern]

yep, or if you play another game for example

better to make sure your obs doesn't end up doing shit on its own in situations you don'twant it to

[cobalt crag]

okay

[fossil wyvern]

the others are the slightly more tricky one.
This screenshot is for the "switch to lobby" macro. pay attention to the fields with the red arrows :

• tick "perform only on condition change"
• the condition is a "match pattern" on the source that captures the game, not just the obs output
• the first uses match.png, the second no_match.png
• the first is "And", the second is "And not"
• first threshold is 0.99, second 0.90
• first one uses alpha channel as mask, second doesn't
• make sure you have the exact same area

for the "switch to game" one, it's basically the exact same, except that both are "and not"

if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask

and when you're done, take screenshots of your macro and show me, to check

[cobalt crag]

So i can duplicate the first one and change the "and" as and not

and the scene in switch scene ?

[fossil wyvern]

yup

[cobalt crag]

THose are first one

oh i see my mistake

[fossil wyvern]

for this one, the second one, the one with "no_match", it needs to be on "and not" in both macros

[cobalt crag]

Yeah just saw it x)

[fossil wyvern]

also, you don't need the alpha channel in it, won't change anything, but technically, less complex to do the match

[cobalt crag]

it doesn't switch back to lobby

below those conditions

I have to put switch scene first one to lobby and second one to game right ?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah

to lobby is the one with "and", to game is the one with both "and not"

does that not work?

[kindred grove]

I am streaming from an M1 Macbook Pro and keep getting error: "Failed to load root certificates for a secure TLS connection" when starting to stream. Recently got Tuna working, and Stream Elements is working fine, but OBS won't work. Any ideas?

[oblique yew]

If you need help with StreamElements products or services, please join their Discord server or submit a support ticket. The StreamElement's support team is better positioned to help with your issue.

[kindred grove]

This was after installing Tuna btw

[fossil wyvern]

does it still happen without the se.live plugin?

[cobalt crag]

Depending on with scene i choose, it will only automatically change one way

not the other

[fossil wyvern]

wait

the game capture source isn't in both scenes

right?

[kindred grove]

So you are saying to try deleting Stream Elements entirely, correct?

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[cobalt crag]

wdym ?

[oblique yew]

To cleanly remove SE.Live:

1. Uninstall SE.Live
2. Uninstall OBS Studio (make sure that "User Settings" is not selected)
3. Install OBS Studio again from https://obsproject.com/
   Your settings will be saved unless you have selected to delete them during removal.

[fossil wyvern]

is the game capture source in both scenes?

[cobalt crag]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

ok, so which direction does not work?

[cobalt crag]

Game to lobby

[fossil wyvern]

ok, can you show the macro for that?

[cobalt crag]

Oh wait i think i made a mistake

[cobalt crag]

In this one, below i put switch to lobby scene right ?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, the one with "and" on the first and "and not" on the second is switch to lobby
the one with both and not is switch to game

[cobalt crag]

This is the return to lobby

[fossil wyvern]

yeah. it doesn't work?

can you show me a screenshot of the game when it should work but doesn't?

[cobalt crag]

Nah obs would stick to the in game scene

[fossil wyvern]

wrong source

the source name in this scene is "valo", not "Capture de Jeu"

[cobalt crag]

Oh it has to have the same name ?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, otherwise it's another source

[cobalt crag]

I thought it was just the source used

as widowed or anything idk

[fossil wyvern]

nah, it needs to know which exact source you're asking it to look at

[cobalt crag]

So i got to put this everywhere ?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah

(if it's also the same source name you have in the lobby scene)

[cobalt crag]

Ok i'll run some test

Okay so now it works

But there is two tiny details i dont know if we can fix them

[fossil wyvern]

shoot

[cobalt crag]

If it's too much troubles, i don't mind not changing anything

game to lobby, takes few seconds to switch scene

but lobby to game as soon as something shows up, it will change scene right away

such as this for exemple

[fossil wyvern]

ok, yeah

[cobalt crag]

Its not a big deal but to make it perfect it would be trying to solve this

[fossil wyvern]

can you take a recording of the game to lobby transition and upload it here

[cobalt crag]

Showing on OBS or normal one ?

[fossil wyvern]

the way it happens in obs

[cobalt crag]

Okay

[kindred grove]

I'm still having the issue after a fresh install. Noticed a weird popup when I first open it though. Let me see if I can get it again

It shows

[fossil wyvern]

the things that show up will always bring up the same "overlay" on the top right cog, right?

[kindred grove]

Multiple output, Add new target, start all, stop all, This plugin is provide for free. Author: SoraYuki

[cobalt crag]

Full test

[fossil wyvern]

like, no matter what shows up, it'll always look like this in this corner?

[kindred grove]

I remember looking up multistream plugins but I don't remember downloading and installing one, where can I manage and delete plugins

[cobalt crag]

Yeah it's just darker as a pop up shows, but check the video u'll see what i mean

[fossil wyvern]

if you installed with its installer, you can remove it like any program in windows, in the programs and apps list

[kindred grove]

I am running on Mac

[fossil wyvern]

then afaik, same answer, like you'd uninstall anything

[fossil wyvern]

ouki, yee I see, gimme 5

cool stinger btw

[cobalt crag]

Haha thanks, im going to change it

[kindred grove]

I don't know where to go to delete extensions tbh, only apps

Is this helpful?

[fossil wyvern]

well, you managed to remove se.live

[kindred grove]

SE.Live showed as a separate app

Oh, shoot, I did download multi rtmp and somehow installed it. I bet that's causing the issues

[fossil wyvern]

well yeah, otherwise it wouldn't be showing in obs

[fossil wyvern]

ok, so it's a tad bit complex

[oblique yew]

How to take a screenshot - http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/

[cobalt crag]

if it's too complicated dw

[fossil wyvern]

nah, dw it's fun

[fossil wyvern]

the one bit I4m not sure I'll do well is to reduce the delay on switching back to lobby, but the rest Is hould be able to do

[kindred grove]

Wondering if "Your current security settings prevent the installation of system extensions" would be causing any issues

[fossil wyvern]

and this point, you might have better luck asking in #macos-support there'll be more mac-knowing people there

[cobalt crag]

If we reduce/augment the match pattern would help ?

[kindred grove]

Yeah, I've tried but there hasn't been any activity in there over the past couple of hours. Honestly, tempted to see if there is a way to totally remove all obs and streamelements related files and do a completely fresh install

[fossil wyvern]

no, the issue is that there's a fade from black, so it's only matching at the end of the fade.
I'll find a way to not catch too much

[fossil wyvern]

so, fun shit, I was wondering why it was correctly matching on the cogwheel in the lobby, but not on the one in the in-game menu that you open to go back to the lobby, because, normally, that should have matched.
as it happens, in the in-game menu, that cogwheel is exactly one pixel to the left compared to the lobby

[fossil wyvern]

so, I know how to do it, I'll just need in-game screenshots of the lobby with a popup open, gimme that whenever you wake up

[cobalt crag]

I will give u in 5

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, nah, dw, tbh am going to bed too it almost midnight, I'll do it toorrow if that's ok with you

[cobalt crag]

Oh is it long to do?

[earnest wind]

Would there be a way to randomly change scene? Like if I wanted to go to a brb segment and have a random different brb every time?

[open star]

how does the Twitch VOD option work actually? i'm running a local RTMP server to stream to multiple platforms at once and I would like to know how to do that using ffmpeg (and also, is it possible to output more audio tracks onto my RTMP server from OBS?)

[dusty cairn]

How do you put new line without posting??

[hallow vale]

Shift+Enter will create a new line in your message

[pallid umbra]

I need some very minimal server side computation for my plugin that needs to be discoverable to users over the internet.
What is the best way to go about it ?

[dusty cairn]

Thanks.. Same a s Excel in a cell?😀

[swift lark]

sorry for asking the same question in this channel I did not see this channel when I was typing. Is anyone familiar with the multistream rtmp plugin? I want to know what the rtmp server for twitch should be since I am trying to stream to multiple twitch channels at the same time

[untold jay]

@swift lark Copy them from here: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/plugins/rtmp-services/data/services.json

[fossil wyvern]

Nah but I was absolutely spent.
had spent the whole day in trains thanks to the snc-fuckin-f
Anyways, gimme the pic whenever you can

[cobalt crag]

yeah i understand no worries

here u go

[swift lark]

Tysm that works great

[fossil wyvern]

sorry for the delay, am not good with logic in the morning.
In the "switch to game" macro (not the other), duplicate the two video conditions so that you have four total, and use those pics for the two duplicates

[cobalt crag]

it still triggers

[fossil wyvern]

ok, show me what you have?

[cobalt crag]

in the plugin ?

[fossil wyvern]

yee the conditions you just added

[fossil wyvern]

on the "match1" one, try reducing the threshold to 90?

[cobalt crag]

Ok, so ig there are many triggers, cause one pop up isn't triggered no more, but one still does and one i hve to play to try it out

[fossil wyvern]

ouki, show in-game screenshots of the one that triggers and the one that doesn't

[cobalt crag]

this one is not triggered when i reduced the threshold

This one is, but i'm thinking, that is maybe triggered cause i'm hovering it with my mouse

[fossil wyvern]

aaah, yeah, mouse

looking at it, the "Play" thing in the top center is alays there in the lobby, right?

[cobalt crag]

Not if i click on the house button

Otherwise, yes it is

I dont think it's a bit deal for the mouse thing, did u find anyway to reduce delay to back to lobby?

[fossil wyvern]

reducing threshold should work for that, but don't go too far either

[cobalt crag]

How about we add another AND NOT, with a screen with the mouse covering it ?

[cobalt crag]

Okay will try that after

[fossil wyvern]

issue is it'd need every possible mouse position

oooor, we can match for just the mouse itself, gimme 5

[cobalt crag]

Nah cause i checked, and it's not triggered on the edge i think

[cobalt crag]

Oh yeah true

[fossil wyvern]

so yee, try with that

[cobalt crag]

do i add only one AND NOT ?

We're ok it'll only work in the setting area right ?

[fossil wyvern]

yee just one and not, exact same settings as the matchone, but with the mouse pic

[cobalt crag]

The mouse is the wrong one

Its the hand

[fossil wyvern]

oh mb, I'll do it when I get back

[late trench]

can I make the browser source hide them self in certain conditions ?

[wary escarp]

You mean from JS?

Just applying display: none CSS should work

[hallow vale]

!sceneswitcher This plugin can do almost anything, including that 👇

[oblique yew]

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.

[late trench]

well acutally I'm asking cuz this plugin can't do what I'm looking for

[fossil wyvern]

what "condition" are you looking for?

[misty parrot]

Been absent awhile has the multi camera need for virtual camera been added to the newest version I haven't upgraded in ages due to this challenge my set up is 4 cameras while hosting in stream yard thanks for the time and an amazing tool

[late trench]

checking api/enpoint(To inquire about sub goal) and take actions according to that

another thing I want to do is
Media Sources I use it to receive srt stream from my mobile I want to show text/icon when the connection is weak

and couldn't find the correct condition for it also

[fossil wyvern]

depending on the diversity of stuff, might be able to do that in adv-ss with the run action, by running a batch file that does the api ping, and returns exit codes dependant on that it gets

otherwise Kruiz-Control can do it, streamer.bot likely too

[late trench]

ok I have python script ready , but how to print exit code?

[fossil wyvern]

you tried "if media state is buffering"?

[late trench]

yeah but couldn't really understand how is buffering work exactly

and how to switch back again to the normal after the connect gets better

shall I make another macro opposite ??

[fossil wyvern]

haven't tried it myself, but I think sys.exit(code) would do it

[late trench]

gonna try it

is there any log ?

to see what the plugin got

[fossil wyvern]

check that and then in the obs top bar, > help > log file > view current log

but it's very verbose

[late trench]

ah I see

[late trench]

didn't work 😄

it just pass the condition

in the log showing issue

22:15:20.610: [adv-ss] try to sleep for 1300
22:15:20.610: [adv-ss] run "C:/Users/IQD964/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/python.exe" with a timeout of 100 ms
22:15:20.610: [adv-ss] failed to start "C:/Users/IQD964/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/python.exe"!

couldn't run the python script

[loud wedge]

you set the working directory to a file
that won't work

you will have to pass the script you want to run as an argument to the python binary

[late trench]

check the image cuz its as you said

or the opposite?

[loud wedge]

what you have currently configured cant work
try adding the script path as an argument - not as the working directory (leave that empty unless it is needed for your script to work)

[late trench]

now looks better

but idk

[late trench]

if you don't mind

I understand the arguemnt but working directory for what?

[loud wedge]

timeout of 100ms is probably too short for a python script

[late trench]

what I can do with that working directory fileld

[late trench]

ah 1 sec

[loud wedge]

just leave it empty for now

[late trench]

ok

its shows green so it works

[loud wedge]

yup, looks good

[late trench]

green means met the condition right

[loud wedge]

correct

[late trench]

nice

I tried both exit codes

thanks for help

do you have any idea about the buffering?

[loud wedge]

Sorry didn't follow the conversation fully / will have to leave again.
The buffering check of the media condition type returns true when the media source reports "OBS_MEDIA_STATE_BUFFERING".
Depends on what type of source you are using when / if this status is reported.
You can handle both cases (buffering / not buffering) in a single macro by also defining "else" actions.
Hope that helps somewhat!

[late trench]

never seen this before, how did u expand this 3rd section for else

is it pro version ?

[fossil wyvern]

ty warmup, I was cooking 💜

[late trench]

yeah thanks for him

[fossil wyvern]

I'll try to take it from here, gimme five to read up

[late trench]

I really appreciate the help

I tried to look for documentation on github but found nothing sorry for bothering usually I try to solve it by my self

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, so the buffering thing is more complex, in part because I'm not entirely sure it'll always be buffering if there's network issue

what you can try is to do a "if buffering then show text" and "if not buffering for the last X minutes, then hide text"

with the idea that basically "no issue has been happening for a certain period of time so the coast should be clear"

[late trench]

yep exactly what I'm looking for, I can show image also

[fossil wyvern]

ok, show me how you set it up

[late trench]

this is the first part

[fossil wyvern]

ok

[late trench]

the rest idk still

😄

I couldn't find from where to do the "else"

[fossil wyvern]

I wouldn't advise doing the else because afaik you can't have it be on a different time for the else

try a second macro with "if not media state is buffering" and use the lil clock icon to put a "for at least X time"

and check if that works

[late trench]

ok let me translate this to macro hahah

like that

now I have to do this "if not buffering for the last X minutes"

[fossil wyvern]

click here to specify a time

[late trench]

ok

should look like that I assume

[fossil wyvern]

nah I would say "within the last"

I think the "not" is applied after the time modifier

[late trench]

I have to learn later the different but I set it for now

[late trench]

gotcha

like timer then condition

[fossil wyvern]

"for at least" = has been buffering constantly for 5 minutes
"within the last" = has buffered even a microsecond sometimes in the last 5 minutes

[late trench]

hmmmmm, is there an average in the first one ?

like counts how many times happened in the last 5 min

after that will do the procedure(block of code)

[fossil wyvern]

don't think so. afaik it's just "has the condition been true constantly for that time"

[late trench]

gotcha status

how to simulate buffering hahahah

this should be buffering isnt

[fossil wyvern]

n that doesn't look like it

hence my concern, not sure your network issues cause buffering

[late trench]

usually it doesn't looks like that but that's me trying to make it buffer

so when I stream outside using poor 4g connection

[fossil wyvern]

tbh best way to test would be real conditions

[late trench]

you're right this what will happen next

[late trench]

I found something , its the bitrate so it's just different I don't think buffering condition will work ever

[fossil wyvern]

does the video freeze when it happens?

[full jasper]

hi so im trying to install the own3d plugin but it doesnt show up

[fossil wyvern]

I'd recommend asking to own3d themselves

[cobalt crag]

@fossil wyvern Still doesn,'t work

even when adding threshold

[fossil wyvern]

am a bit at a loss then, sorry

[cobalt crag]

its ok u dont know how thankful i am

Thanks for everything and ur time

[queen sierra]

I noticed Source Copy came off, but by simply reinstalling it, it came back on. Is it possible plugins can do that between updates?

[cobalt crag]

wait on which one do i have to reduce ? the and or and not ?

the setting, or the square ?

[fossil wyvern]

the setting

[cobalt crag]

doesn't i reduced to 80 idk if i should keep trying

[fossil wyvern]

nah it'oll probs stop orking well lower

[glossy shore]

Hello! New here, I apologize if I'm not asking my question in the right place.
I am using the Move plugin to create movement for one of my Sources with mic input. When I talk, I have a little character whom I want to animate.
Currently I have the Audio Move filter added to my Mic Input to affect the Source (character) and I get a result like this:

However, I would like to find a solution so that my character only bounces once when I start talking into my microphone to limit movement and avoid the awkward, constantly bobbling look.

I'd like to have something that looks more like this:

I've been trying to figure out how to achieve this, and maybe I'm not searching with the right terms, but I can't figure out how to have this movement triggered by just the initial mic input.
If I'm not explaining this well enough, I try to clarify this further.

Thank you in advance for your advice!

[mortal harbor]

this isn't a complete thought but probably something like this in advanced scene switcher so that it disables the filter when you start talking and enables it again when you stop

you can change your volume threshold and maybe add a short wait before disabling if needed.

@glossy shore

[glossy shore]

Thank you for the speedy response, @mortal harbor! I'll check this out and report back.

[fossil wyvern]

if you want I have a script that does that too

though haven't touched it in a bit

[glossy shore]

I thought maybe there was a simple way to have a mic input trigger a movement, which I could then transition into a movement back to its defauly position, but I haven't had luck

@fossil wyvern, if it's not difficult to get to and share, I'd be happy to try that as well.

[glacial haven]

you can set chains of movement actions with waits between them for the normal move actions, including those that eventually reset itself to the initial state - but I think you can't combine that with the initial trigger for Audio Move

you'd still need adv-ss for that

so I guess using a script if Pen already has one anyway is the easier solution, or using adv-ss for all of it

[glossy shore]

@glacial haven thank you for the input, I'm grabbing that plugin now.

[glacial haven]

you won't regret it either way, it's incredibly powerful

[fossil wyvern]

here's the thing, it's a bit raw, I've been putting off giving it a rewrite for a bit, but it works
when added in tools > scripts, it should spawn the following UI :

• Audio source is the name of the source it'll take audio from
• PngTube source is the name of the Image source it'll move (n.b.: by design it only moves stuff if the source is locked in the UI)
• Idle/active image path is the path to the image you want displayed when not talking/talking
• Audio gate closing is below which audio level it'll consider you aren't talking anymore, opening is above which level it'll consider you're talking
• decay time is how fast it stops bouncing
• amplitude is how high it bounces

am likely gonna sleep very soon, but if it doesn't work or if you want it to behave differently, don't hesitate to ping me.

I might answer tomorrow but I'll answer

[glossy shore]

Wow! I'll definitely give this a shot. Thank you so much for the help! All of you!

I'm doing Live streaming of semi pro games and I am wondering if there's anyway to connect a daktronics (5000 series) to obs, basically have the sore clock and shot clock be files on obs

right now I'm just using Scoreboard OCR but I'm not a huge fan of the subscription model and was looking for something more permanent if anyone has any ideas on how to get a clock score shot clock and fouls

[night rivet]

I"m trying to use OBS-NDI, putting the filters on my scenes don't show up on my second PC, does anyone know why? And also sometimes the sources on the OBS that it's supposed to receive the images don't list all the scenes I have the NDI on

Update: The issue was being caused because of Windows Firewall, if anyone goes through the same

[ruby lichen]

if you're ok with OCR services from google/azure you can set it up with URL/API Source (https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/url-api-source-live-data-media-and-ai-on-obs-made-simple.1756/) i have a tutorial on OCR in OBS

[ruby lichen]

also, the thing has a serial port, connect it to a PC and i bet a python script can extract the info from it somehow

[silk edge]

as far as I'm aware of the Google OCR costs, a monthly subscription, which I'm kind of trying to avoid because originally I was using the software called Scoreboard OCR, but it seemed a little overpriced, and I was wondering if there was a more bulletproof or cheaper way I could do it

[silk edge]

working through the steps right now but will probably need help

for some reason, the plug-in isn't installing properly I don't know why, though

[ruby lichen]

Filters are applied from top to bottom, the opposite of how sources overlap. Thus, you should reorder the ndi source so it's below other filters.

[neat walrus]

hey can someone help me with installing the shaderfilter plug in? I don't know what I'm doing wrong but nothing is happenign and I feel like i followed therules the best I can. I can't seem to find a step by step video. most videos are like do this and this and you get this but that has not been the case for me. Would love some help, thanks!

this is what i get when i extract the download

then i made a new folder and also moved the entire folder into what I was told to

and nothing the created shader filter folder has just the examples/locale/textures

[fossil wyvern]

what you downloaded is the source code, not the compiled plugin

get the installer from there, and run it

Asking here because I think its VLC Playlist Plugin related but could be wrong... I have issues where I could be playing a vid in a scene, then change scenes without finishing vid (like brb scene or something) so Ill change scenes and the video audio keeps playing for a little bit... i dont know if its a cpu/lag thing, just curious if anyone knows what im talking about and maybe figured out how to stop it...

[hard jay]

How long is a little bit?

[fossil wyvern]

also what transition are you using

[hard jay]

If you're using monitoring, that's pretty normal for it to keep playing during the transition

Monitoring doesn't have the crossfade that shows up in the output.

[sleek lynx]

sorry, went to the bathroom... like 3-8 seconds

transistion, custom one

didnt think about looking into transition.... hrmm

[fossil wyvern]

check if it still happens with a cut transition, and if yes, check what's the duration of your stinger

if it has a bunch of transparent frames at the end, then it's still effectively transitioning as far as obs is concerned and as such, it'd still monitor the first scene

[sleek lynx]

cut, cuts right off... I lowered the tranition point and it switched quicker, but audio stayed the same

i am using a stinger, but a lua script to randomize the video, maybe its that

[fossil wyvern]

transition point won't matter afaik, because, even though it's fading in the output, as fenrir mentionned, the monitoring doesn't get faded.
So it'll keep monitoring for the full duration of the stinger

[sleek lynx]

hrmmm

so do i understand correctly? its sounds dif to the audience? its a monitoring thing?

[hard jay]

Take some test recordings and see if the same issue is present there

That's the easiest way

[sleek lynx]

good point

[fossil wyvern]

unless you are recording desktop audio, in which case, that also records the monitoring

[sleek lynx]

man audio is the hardest thing to setup with obs 😉 everytime I try to sit down and understand/improve it I give up in like 5 mins 😉 I guess I am recording desktop audio because its in the recording

[fossil wyvern]

set the stinger to monitor off and check if it still happens in the recording

[sleek lynx]

still there, sound actually sounds hollow/tiny on recording

er tinny

tinnie

[fossil wyvern]

can you do a cleanlog and send here both log and recording?

[sleek lynx]

clean log as in reboot obs?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, close, restart, record, make the issue happen, stop recording, send log

[sleek lynx]

ktv main

[fossil wyvern]

as far as I can see, in that log, it's still monitoring

[sleek lynx]

the fire roar is the transition sound, i no longer here that on my end

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, but unless I'm mistaken, the issue isn't the sound of the stinger, but the sound of the VLC source still playing on transition, right?

[sleek lynx]

oh turn the monitoring off for ktv? shit my bad

[fossil wyvern]

yee

oh my bad sorry I said stinger

got my wires crossed

[sleek lynx]

O M G you guys are geniuses... so I guess I just cant enjoy the vids while playing too 😉

[fossil wyvern]

you can, if you don't capture the device you're monitoring to

[hallow vale]

That's what monitor only is for. You hear it, stream hears it, no doubling

[sleek lynx]

maybe its bad advice from my device makers 😉 I route most of my audio through a Beacn Mix Create, and according to them monitoring has to be on to be controlled?

[fossil wyvern]

well, yes.
if you don't monitor, the sources that have audio in obs can only be controlled through obs

[sleek lynx]

I had it on monitor only

[fossil wyvern]

but in the specific case of things like stingers and stuff, using monitoring as an output has the big inconvenient that as you saw, the monitoring isn't mixed

[sleek lynx]

so now i know, small stuff that doesnt need control can be turned off in monitoring, i thought if i wanted it on stream, it had to be monitored

[fossil wyvern]

👍

another thing you can do is use the audio monitor plugin (which allows putting monitoring filter, to monitor to different separate devices) to monitor some stuff to your control device, and monitor directly to your headset what you want to hear but not send to the device

[sleek lynx]

besides sitting/reacting in silence, is there a good way to not use headphones at all?

[fossil wyvern]

wdym by that?

[sleek lynx]

i just hate wearing headphones, I wish there was a way to hear whats going on, but wouldnt feedback into mic, etc

[fossil wyvern]

earbuds?

[sleek lynx]

I gotta run out, but I used the audio mon plugin you mentioned... Figured id route it to my different beacn inputs, now I get double audio 😉 but i know why, its sending to the music pod, and the music pod goes to audience mix... so the music is going to aud mix + the unmonitored vlc source? just trying to think of a way to route it so i hear it too, ill be back in a few

[sleek lynx]

playing with that audio mon plugin makes the vid/audio out of sync for me

Hello. I have OBS 30.0.2 (64 bit) with StreamElements SE.Live installed - windows10 64bit. When I try to add the obs-websocket - Remote-control OBS Studio using WebSockets 5.0.1 plugin I have the following error (the plugin does not load) in the previous version 4.9.1 it is the same. How to fix it ?

you don't need to add any plugin, websocket is builtin in obs since 28.0.0.

Hello, I have a stream where I broadcast various news report videos. I would like to have a grid of those videos available in OBS so I can play them whenever I want during the stream. Can you suggest any tools or plugins? Thank you!

[ruby lichen]

I know there are such things for face tracking but haven't heard of sports pitch tracking. I'm glad to discuss over DM how you see this "play out" (pun ho so very intended)
Maybe a very simple vision plugin can solve the problem for you

[floral pier]

can you explain more than that?
i've newly entered to the plugins and addons community bcz the base version was kinda boring and i wanted an upgrade

[ruby lichen]

what if you had a way to mark a part of the pitch for tracking, like an AR marker, and then once it's tracked every frame you can e.g. add an image to hide / overlay transparently over it. heck i think we can even add OBS sources! like a Text Source / Media source video etc.
you could have multiple such trackers with different "actions".
AR tracking is "dirt cheap" in terms of computer vision, nowhere as expensive as neural nets. so it can be fast and smooth and won't hit your CPU/GPU
but this would need to be a bonafide plugin

[floral pier]

thanks for the information.
i used some tools to make the players, scoreboard and lines into separate sources and it works but the tracking is the problem with it
it'll be great to do expriments with the "actions" you said
and a gen 12 i7 with a 3060 can surely handle it

[ruby lichen]

i'm curious to know how you did the separation, what sort of tools?
do they work on a single image? or on video?

[floral pier]

with the basic chroma key
its hard to make everything exactly set. i worked for hour and thousands of filters of chroma keys with different values to make it happen
and it works on live feeds

[ruby lichen]

first principles are always a good starting choice.
that however doesn't do any sort of tracking, it's only keying based on color.
i could take a crack at an "AR tracking" plugin for this purpose, as there are so many people who stream sports

[floral pier]

the key is for seperating things so the overlay is not over players
the ar tracking is the main thing but i dont have any idea how to run tracking
i saw many small services try only keying it and dont tracking it
but the televisions are able to do it easily because they have huge hardware and systems
the image is a concept

also
its not "mission impossible" that is only can be done for televisions

[ruby lichen]

there's no secret sauce. it's just computer vision and frankly , tech that was developed in the 80s, it's just productized nicely

so what do you say @floral pier if i build it will you use it?

[floral pier]

of course
and every internet television that is growing up can easily do the tracking

i think if it gets published everyone is using it in the world (at least in my country)

anyone up? using audio montoring plugin, trying to figure out how fix outa sync issue

[rapid ibex]

Afternoon everyone! Just after a bit of advice if possible.

I have a text file that is generating songs names as the songs change (midi files in game) and I can get the text file to display in OBS no issues as it changes but the text is quite basic and has no animation of fading in and out.

Does anyone know of a plugin or a tool that works based off of a changing text file which can then generate items like lower thirds or text animations?

Everyone I seem to try and install only seems to offer a manual text entry rather than working off of a txt file.

Any help would be great and thanks in advance!

[hard jay]

@novel heron Nope.

Please don't advertise here.

[novel heron]

Oh ok sorry

How can I do if I'm looking for beta users to test?

It's free

[hard jay]

I'd recommend making a post on your socials to your followers, or networking with streamers you might know and reaching out to see if they might be interested.

As a side note, I'm pretty sure that trying to bypass tiktok's restrictions on streaming is a great way to get yourself, and others, banned. But either way, best of luck.

[novel heron]

It was more developers I was looking, but ok, understood.
Have a nice day 🙂

[sleek lynx]

hrmm, seems the audio monitor plugin does work, except for a vlc source/playlist, its freeking impervious to audio delays, its probably the same issue the waveform guy had with vlc

[sleek lynx]

I just tried it with "Media Playlist Source" which I believe still uses vlc... and it works/in sync... need to ask that guy to fix the preinstalled vlc

[regal breach]

That plugin (mine) does not use vlc

It only uses Media Source

[void plover]

Is there a plug-in for vlc media player?

I wanna have a small stream overlay for it. Have it show the song name and the time it has left

[sacred siren]

Is there anyone here who is an expert in 'Advanced scene switcher'? I need to set up what I thought would be a simple ish macro combo but i'm running into an issue. I feel like someone with exp would know how to fix it pretty fast but i'm just blanking on the correction

[mortal harbor]

probably better to just say what you are trying to do.

[sacred siren]

OK will give it a crack

[tawdry orchid]

whats the rough size of a cqp video 5 mins long on level 19

[mortal harbor]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/tuna.843/

[mortal harbor]

it does not work that way, CQ value is a target quality and file size will vary depending on the content.

[tawdry orchid]

oh. i had 899 gb available before 2 videos, 1 around 5 minutes and the other around 2 minutes, now I have 814 gb is this possible?

[mortal harbor]

i dont know what you mean by that. if those two videos are 85gb total then you have your answer.

[void plover]

Thanks Dude!

[tawdry orchid]

I'm not sure, I'm wondering if they can be that size, seems big

[mortal harbor]

no need to wonder if it "can be" that size, you can just check what the size is.

[tawdry orchid]

oh, how?

[mortal harbor]

your file explorer will show file sizes, or you can right click on a video and view its properties to see.

[tawdry orchid]

thankyou

[sacred siren]

The image here represents my problem.

I am using a stream deck to activate the 'Tick 1 Blue' Source (as opposed to a keyboard hotkey within OBS).
I have set up a macro to also show the 'GP Audio' source when the Tick 1 Blue is activated, and subsequently another macro to hide the 'GP Audio' after 3 seconds of being activated.

This is all fine and good, but for whatever reason I can't seem to find a way to have the 'GP Audio' not activate automatically upon switching scenes.
For context, this particular scene is nestled within a bunch of other scenes, and the blue tick will remain on for potentially long periods of time - and I cant have it playing the sound every time it switches scene, the sound source is only supposed to play upon activating the image source.

I thought that the box "Perform actions only on condition change' was the catalyst to fix this problem, and when I set it up yesterday I could have sworn that it fixed it, but when I opened OBS to continue working on this today the problem seems to have come back.

[fossil wyvern]

instead of if source is active, try if sceneitem is visible

and shouldn't you use the tick 1 blue source, rather than the 1 life blue one?

[void plover]

Holy crap tuna is the exact plug-in I wanted. That’s great dude! That never happens

[sacred siren]

i think your first suggestion fixed it @fossil wyvern for whatever reason

[fossil wyvern]

the eye icon is sceneitem visibility, source activity is smth slightly different

[sacred siren]

thanks mate

yea slightly confusing innit, this macro thing is so strong though, so much potential

but in the same vein lots of room for error

[fossil wyvern]

adv-ss is fucking godly

[vale vine]

ass is goated

[sacred siren]

nice, so its the source being visible + the 'perform actions only on condition change' that is the key here i suppose

so it doesnt proc on every scene switch

[sleek lynx]

I don’t know much about coding, but Surly there’s some sorta player involved? It sounds like the equivalent of saying YouTube vids don’t use a browser, only html… I’m like half awake atm, but maybe I’ve been thinking about this wrong? I always thought media source and VLC playlist were both using VLC as the player, one is just a single file playlist and the other was a multi playlist? But I guess I could be wrong, I often am

[mortal harbor]

The built in media source is unrelated to VLC.

[sleek lynx]

Heh I’ll be damned, wonder how many ppl I confused the shiz out of referring to media source as VLC

I wish there was a plugin like audio monitor that you could route audio to specific outputs that uses the broadcast audio instead of monitor… I’m back to were I started of the audio bleeding through the transition, but I like having the audio routed over the bleeding so I’ll just deal with it, unless I could use advss to somehow fade out the filter on scene/source change

[mortal harbor]

im sure you can, it really just takes you spending some time to look through all the conditions/actions the plugin has.

[foggy aurora]

[fossil wyvern]

the media source uses directly ffmpeg's player

and only way to not have the audio bleed out is to not monitor it to a device that you capture in obs

[empty junco]

is there any information on the move video capture device not working with the move transition plugin?

[manic ermine]

It might depend on the device, since AFAIK that filter tells windows to change settings that the device's driver then has to actually respond to. It might be your device doesn't support the parameter, or if it should you might need to either reinstall the driver (most webcams run off the stock microsoft driver though so you might need to just reset it in the device manager)

[empty junco]

its a brand new 360link, just out of the box. the drivers should be working for it right?

[manic ermine]

Oh fun, I really want one of those. I haven't tested it myself but I saw Nutty had the pan and tilt settings working with it. I'm not seeing any special drivers on their website

[empty junco]

yeah his videos are great. i followed it step by step but its just not working XD

[manic ermine]

If you hit the "Configure Video" button on the video capture source properties, it should pop up a dialog with all the settings the filter can control. If you change them in that dialog do they work?

Then we can figure out if it's the filter not working or the webcam not working

[empty junco]

yes they all work

[manic ermine]

Well hmm, the good news is the camera's fine then. The bad news is I don't know why the filter wouldn't be able to change the values

Does the filter work on a different webcam?

[empty junco]

should these be changed at all

I dont have another webcam that can move

the move filter works for other stuff

[manic ermine]

Yeah you can like change brightness or white balance with it

Which... do either of those work on the 360link?

[manic ermine]

These are for like creating sequences of moves. So if you wanted to tilt then pan

[empty junco]

ok gotcha

i dont have my dslr setup anymore, to much of a hastle to do again to test it haha

it was a crappy old one that ive had for yeeeears

[manic ermine]

Yeah, the filter probably wouldn't work for it anyway since usually those things aren't hooked up for DSLRs / Mirrorless capture

[empty junco]

so the device will move, it then freezes and keeps repeating the move over and over now

[manic ermine]

Hmm whats the full settings on the filter look like

[empty junco]

this is what its doing

those are the only things that are changed

[manic ermine]

That's really weird

[empty junco]

i know right!

[manic ermine]

Hmm can you try positioning it somewhere like nutty does, and hitting the Get Value button

So the values are non-zero

[empty junco]

would it be easier to just share my screen?

[manic ermine]

Sure

Well I'm stumped, does anyone else have a insta360 link to test the Move Video Capture Device filter with?

[desert wedge]

Not getting any help on Windows Support, but I think this might be a better place to ask. My game captures have suddenly stopped working. They were just fine yesterday. The only thing that's changed is this morning I installed the DroidCam plugin. Now the game capture source captures nothing, not even fullscreen. As this is the only thing that's changed, I suspect the plugin is to blame. I've uninstalled DroidCam via Windows Control Panel, but do I have to do anything to uninstall it within OBS?

[twilit tide]

is vdo.ninja bad on brave browser?

[glacial haven]

no, that should be the normal way for uninstalling, you should make sure OBS isn't running though during uninstallation

[desert wedge]

Sorry, responded to wrong message.

[desert wedge]

I don't think it was. Would deleting droidcam-obs.dll help?

[glacial haven]

I don't know how that specific installer is working, the problem is when you uninstall while OBS is running, the plugin file is locked and the uninstaller cannot delete it. some uninstallers will then just be like "whatever" and leave it there, others schedule the file deletion for the next reboot, so if you haven't already, you could try a reboot first. if then you can see that the dll file is still there, the most clean fix would be to install again and then once more uninstall (this time without OBS running), as a less clean way, sure, you could also just delete the file yourself, but it might leave other things behind on the system that you're not aware of

[desert wedge]

Yeah, that's why I was nervous about deleting the file. Let me try the other steps and come back to you.

[glacial haven]

that said, I'd be really curious whether and how that plugin is causing your game captures to fail, doesn't really make sense to me

[desert wedge]

No, nor me. As I said, it's literally the only thing I've changed since yesterday when everything was fine.

[glacial haven]

yeah, it surely is a plausible lead to follow, but it might still be a coincidence and maybe you should just wait until someone in the support channel can have a deeper look into it with you

but there's nothing wrong using the time to rule out the droidcam plugin by uninstalling and seeing whether that brings your game captures back

[desert wedge]

It worked! I don't know why it worked, but it did. Luckily I don't need DroidCam urgently and may not need it at all if I can find another solution. Thanks for your help.

[glacial haven]

maybe worth reporting it to the droidcam dev(s), even if you don't need it urgently, maybe you would also benefit if that leads to them coming up with a fix in the future?

[desert wedge]

Yes, I'll do that.

[late trench]

I can't see nvidia sdk after installing it

there are various NVIDIA SDKs, which one did you try to install and where do you expect to "see" it?

[vale vine]

The video one looks to be landing but not the audio one

[late trench]

audio one for rtx4070 , noise suppression

[glacial haven]

[late trench]

[fossil wyvern]

no that's not a crash report

[late trench]

https://obsproject.com/logs/urkgYE3RaAhPzOVz

[fossil wyvern]

can you make it happen again, then reopen obs properly and send both a crash report and a log?

[late trench]

ok 1 sec

GG its keeps crashing now

hahaha

[fossil wyvern]

ok, and the log?

[late trench]

I'm trying to get it

but crash after another

[glacial haven]

move-transition.dll!move_action_execute+0x303 ^^

[fossil wyvern]

yeah but that's not the whole story

because that's a crash on close

meaning smth is closing obs

[late trench]

yes

usually I get crash on close

[fossil wyvern]

can you upload the log

[late trench]

I can't get it

it keeps crashing on open

even with srt off

[oblique yew]

make it crash on open and send both the latest log, and the latest crash report

[late trench]

doesn't make sense

all old

not 2024

[fossil wyvern]

oh you're in portable mode, then they're in the portable install's folder

[late trench]

probably this one

[fossil wyvern]

ok and the crash report for that?

[late trench]

I assume this one

nah 3 min difference

[fossil wyvern]

no, look at the time of those

can't have crashed at 00:33 if the log started at 00:36

[glacial haven]

but then what does the move crash refer to? either way, you're using move plugin 2.9.1 and the current 2.9.8 includes multiple crash fixes, so either way I think you should update that

[late trench]

which one

[fossil wyvern]

right, so, it did not crash

[late trench]

sure let me check it

[fossil wyvern]

start by updating move transition as yor said
