the python code you're running with adv-ss, show me what it is
sure 1 sec
I believe its advanced scene switcher
I think this is shortcut
gotcha
what is it running
you added custom browser docks to kick?
I have custom docks yes
to kick?
!settings
that's likely what's causing it.
go in the folder there, open the file named global.ini and delete the line that starts with ExtraBrowserDocks=
To find OBS Studio's settings files, look in the following OS-specific locations:
%APPDATA%\obs-studio~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio~/.config/obs-studioit's not bad, it's broken
LOL
they should not be allowed to do that in the next version of obs, but right now, kick docks force-close obs on startup for some reason
yup, yeet that
ok obs running
gotcha is it their scripts ?
because I'm helper there in kick server and I know the admins/devs I can tell them
at some point in the page's code, it calls a close() if you're not logged in for some goddam reason, and if the dock is embed in obs, that closes the whole obs window
instead of just the dock, which is what I assume they were aiming for
gotcha I'll forward this to them , thanks verymuch
Not at the pc atm, but was thinking, the music is now going to the music pod/input, does advss have a way to adjust volume of an input? I could turn it down on exit and wait a few secs then turn it back up so it’s ready when/if I go back to it
yeah, it can, but it wouldn't be the cleanest thing
No but might sound better then the bleed, I dunno, I’ll play with it when I get home
Anybody a VDO.ninja expert. I am a sports caster and I broadcast our hockey team, and there is Ethernet in their control room and press box of their rinks. There is no way to capture their camera system from the rinks so you would normally have to broadcast and hookup in their control room. What I do is hook up a Mac on a capture card with the Ethernet and use VDO.Ninja to send over the video to the Mac I primarily use in the rink and I can control my graphics, transitions, etc on top of the video with my stream deck. The only thing is I get that consistent lag which is very annoying. The place has 3 rinks and their automatic broadcasting system drives a lot of traffic which is something I can’t control. I have managed to turn settings to reduce it but any tips can help. I will send the stream replay so experts can give me advice.
The Mac in the control room is my 2012 MacBook Pro 15 inch which is a solid system still as it is quad core and I have upgraded it to the best I can and I use brave browser. Here are the sender side arguments I use
&maxframerate=30&maxbitrate=1000&webcam
And the resolution I try to aim for is 1280x720
But sometimes I have used 960x540
It lags less but not by that much
The viewer computer is my 2021 14 inch MacBook Pro base model M1 Pro 8c CPU 14c GPU
viewer side argument I only use is a buffer of 500
As that also has helped but I still get that stutter
I'm using Source-record and via troubleshooting it looks like Source Record is starting some sort of output or recording right at startup. This is causing me to be unable to change many settings. Anyone familiar with that plugin that could help me know what setting I'm using that is causing that to happen so I can still use the plugin? I'm currently using the filter on my game source to record video for an instant replay on my stream.
@mild gazelle Disable the filter and it'll stop recording.
What do you mean by disable? Remove all of the filters every time I quit OBS and then reinstall them every time I get on again?
Lots of people this filter so I have to imagine that there’s something in how I set it up that’s causing the issue.
Oh gotcha, but I’ll have to find every instance and do it every time I quit?
source record continues recording as long as the source is enabled. shutting down is the same as disabling
Probably automate it a bit with this https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-filter-hotkeys.1125/
looking through advss, cant figure out how to affect an audio output source (for example a virtual cable) , its possible my question was misunderstood before, but if not could I get pointed in the right direction, pwetty please
@sleek lynx Either Audio > Set source volume, or Source > Set source settings.
Thanks chiyo, ill check it out
I updated to the new version of shaderfilter, but now the rounded corners shader is making a gray background show up on the source. Anyone else experiencing this?
This is for rounded_rect.shader
(It's fixed if I go back to 2.1.3)
Interesting, let me test that shader
my tests with color sources with the shader look good to me
what kind of source did you put the shader on?
shenanigans with blending methods maybe?
it's on a camera, and also on a display capture. problem occured on both
well, to be more specific, it's on a cropped source clone of a camera. and on a source clone of a display capture nested scene lol
if you right click the source, what is blending method set to?
can you provide a screenshot to make sure I am looking for the right thing?
yep one sec
Normal
Sorry i was trying to take a video real quick, because it seems like it actually only happens when rounded corners are combined with finitesingularity's shadow filter
let me test that
yeah that seems to be something with the stroke-glow-shadow plugin
would you mind making a bug report on https://github.com/FiniteSingularity/obs-stroke-glow-shadow/issues ?
yeah sure!
hello all. Quick question. I am looking for a plugin which can allow me to capture the chat (and/or the Q&A) of a google meet meeting. Did someone have any idea ?
does a window capture not work?
that's was my fist idea, but perhaps i made a mistake in my question. That is not Google chat i want to capture, but the chat inside gmeet.
like an overlay would be the best, as i do a lot of training. It would be good the have the question appearing at the moment i speak about a subject.
yeah, capture the window, crop it to just the chat pane, the part you want captured. An overlay may be possible, but that would be with the overlay provider, like Streamelements, etc.
I will try that. Thanks
Hey Penwywern, you said advss could turn down an output device, didja misunderstand what I was asking or am I blind asf? 😉
blind asf i guess 😄
ty yolo
yeah that the one I was thinking of, assumed you meant turn down its volume in obs, same as sliding the fader
that's not very fair XD, adv-ss does qualify as "fuckhueg"
output device like virtual cable, not sources, adv-ss turning down a source will only turn down the broadcast audio, im routing monitor audio to an output device, so if I could affect the device, it could be manipulated, which from my understanding normally cant be manipulated in obs
if you are using the audio monitor plugin to monitor it i'm sure you could change the volume through the filter settings
not 100% though.
Anyone here skilled with the move transition plugin? Ran into a wall using source groups.
yeah, could do that but not gradually then
hrmm, if transition starts, set filter to 0, then if trans finishes set to 100... seems to work, would be so much better with a fade though 😉
yeah, not really easy to do
at least with adv-ss
could do with a script or ws more easily
but eeh
lotta work for something most wont even notice
you can do it with something outside of adv-ss like OBSCommand which supports fading settings and then just run OBSCommand with those arguments as the action for whatever your trigger in adv-ss is.
not that i necessarily have the energy to walk you through that atm but it is something to consider if you really want to work at it.
i was hoping my streamdeck would do it then I could make a hotkey, but when i set the key, it turns down, then immediately shoots back to full volume, i dunno why
I would say that by far the better solution would be to find a way not to rely on monitoring as your output
^
(although, the lack of audio controls on stingers...)
in regards to what you said about your streamdeck, i use my streamdeck to trigger OBScommand which supports that...my use case is slowly blurring/unblurring a source.
hrmm, ill check it out
you know im a frigging idiot, with the audio mon plugin, i kept trying to delay the audio in all sorts of ways, which wouldnt work, i never saw the delay box under the filter settings...
Who knows how to get a vtuber character on camera no face cam or vr I do
well, you can get the vtuber on screen easily, but if you don't have any camera you won't be able to get the rigging to act
I've been using the Move transition plugin for a while but recently had to group some sources in my game capture scene. Now none of those sources will match from other scenes. Copying the group not an option as I crop/scale specially for my game scene. Anyone know a way around this?
i think not grouping them would be the way
So strange that OBS just starts treating everything differently because it's in a group. Like, I can crop and stretch a source and it won't affect another scene. But when I crop/stretch any individual part of the group it ruins it on all other scenes.
You might be right. My brain just wants simple solutions to simple problems.
well, groups are effectively nested scenes
there's some unintuitive behavior because of that.
Right. So basically to be as brief as possible: I want to slide my cam, border, and text overlay off the screen at the same time. I can either create a new scene with those three just moved to the right, transition between them and the move plugin works flawlessly. Downside being I have to remember to make sure my regularly changing source visibility between the two scenes is identical. OR group them and use move filter to not have to change scenes. Which of course breaks move with other scenes where they aren't grouped.
I guess if anything it makes for a good suggestion for future updates. A group option that simply links several sources without acting as a separate entity.
how are you triggering the move? can you not just place a filter on all 3 sources?
I did try that but the result was three sources moving separately off the screen. When in groups they all slide together.
I can either create a new scene with those three just moved to the right, transition between them and the move plugin works flawlessly. Downside being I have to remember to make sure my regularly changing source visibility between the two scenes is identical.
you can use something like advanced scene switcher to create a macro that changes visibility in all scenes when one is changed
There is a bug in obs-shaderfilter causing wrong blending mode for filters after that filter. Finite singularity made a fix for the bug. I am testing it and expect to make a bug fix release soon.
CodeYan, you got sum splain'n ta do
I had a question about the browser source.
I want to create "widgets" to their stream that users can add via pointing the browser source at a URL.
However, at 100% width and 100% height of the browser window they look terrible because of OBS's Browser Source default of 800w / 600h.
Is there a way in JavaScript of the browser source I can force a particular width / height on the control when it's first created? I want to be able to set a default width / height so I can get the scaling right.
Am I going about this the wrong way?
Wow, this looks exactly what I was after. Thank you!
does anyone know why every time i try to add a browser source my obs crashes
if i attempt to add a browser source (not even putting in a link) it crashes my computer
If your computer is crashing and not OBS, that's probably a bit beyond what we can help with here.
OBS runs in user space, and cannot be a direct cause of the whole PC crashing.
no its OBS itself sorry
@pale sable apologies I meant obs. ok. Do i paste it here?
@pale sable I posted it but it does not post as a link like others
You want the support channels, assume you're on windows: #windows-support
@hard jay wow it just decides to work. Nice. Will do i see it sent link instead
hi, I did a fresh install of obs and I installed the plugins in the right folders but they're not showing up in OBS
Not sure if this is the right channel to ask this in
What plugin? And send a log

shaderfilter but I restart my pc and now everything works o.o I'm dumb sorry
I thought I had source copy installed but I don't see it so I'll reinstall it. All the streamUp tools are there after the restart too
Hey all, I’m hope someone may have insight on something I’m trying to do. I downloaded the animated lower thirds plugin by NoeAL from back in 2020. Everything works but I’m curious if there is a way to get the plugin to fetch/call data from a cell in excel.
is there a way of setting up 2 audio instances from an audio interface so I can switch microphones based on case use?
Hello, I'm trying to build the obs-plugintemplate here https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate. I'm on Windows 10 and have Visual Studio 2022. I ran cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -S .. -B . from a "build" directory I created off of the root of the project. The cmake is generated several errors. The first one I see is this one: "string sub-command JSON member 'hashes windows-' not found." The second one is this one: "Downloading https://github.com/obsproject/obs-deps/releases/download/2023-04-12/windows-deps-2023-04-12-.zip
CMake Error at cmake/common/buildspec_common.cmake:169 (file):
file DOWNLOAD cannot compute hash on failed download". I wonder if anyone has any ideas on this. Additional note: I believe it's the "buildspec.json" file that is out of date. The version date for "prebuilt" dependency is "2023-04-12", and there is no existing url for that dependency.
I see what it's doing... there is no "x64" before ".zip" for the url path above.
The cause is from the cmake\windows\buildspec.cmake file. This line: set(arch ${CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM}) . It isn't working. It's not finding the architecture. I changed it to set(arch ${CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME}), and that returns the right architecture.
Hey, does anyone know of plugin for obs that is basically a simple vocoder/vocalist? I just need it to be in real time so when someone is singing it adds backing vocals?
Cheers
I need two plugins or help with setup...I have a behringer 404hd and i want obs to recongize each mic... right now it show 1-2 or 3-4 or 1-4... and if its possible to setup a feature to whoever is talking it switches to their cam?
I've been looking through posts here. (I've even inquired last month), but haven't heard of any resolution of the issue.
The move source filter's Get Transformation isn't grabbing info.
I've followed the note about it being required to be in a Group or As a Scene (Which old tutorials don't show that requirement)
Additionally. When I manually edit the Pos manually in the field, it'll move, but it's like it's moving within the original scene rather than applying it to the source in the scene it's nested into. (hopefully that makes sense)
*My screenshot for example. I'll edit the position to move downward and since it's cropped, it'll disappear rather than move the whole source.
Any guidance is appreciated 🧡
is there a plugin that switchs cams for whoever is talking?
Advanced Scene Switcher would be a likely candidate. (It's on my list to deep dive into, personally)
It can control switching depending on conditions.
Hey! Not sure if this is the place for this but does anyone know if you can have the stream deck show how long you have been recording for?
you might be able to do it with adv-ss but it'd rely on the ability to get each participant's audio as separate source.
Without that ability, I'm not sure there's a way to do it in obs
best would be to ask streamdeck support, but on the technical feasibility, yes it's possible for a streamdeck to know that.
Whether it has been implemented by someone is another question though
how do i change the name of my stream
which platform?
which platform are you streaming to
im kinda dumb do u mean like what game
no, twitch, youtube, chaturbate?
twitch
then, make sure your account is connected under settings > stream and you'll have a dock named "stream information" where you can change it
ok ty
what does the drop threshold means ?
probably good to mention what plugin it is as well 🙂
obs-multi-rtmp
this is some old ass code 
seems to be a parameter for adjusting the size/length of a buffer relating to when to drop frames (network lag/congesstion)
I would for sure personally leave that stuff alone
Hello
i see is there a new plugin to use
No, its fine to use the plugin, I'd just suggest you do not fiddle with that "drop threshold" number unless you've read and understood the source code for what it does 😛
gotcha thanks so much
!local
use these settings for recording. If you have any issues or more questions, head to a Help & Support channel.
For high-quality, no fuss recordings, use the recording quality presets in Simple Mode:
i have seen a plugin at a twitch streamer that he uses in OBS. This plugin displays messages at the top of the chat, "in the grey area" so not in the chat lines but above them.
who knows what this plugin is called and where to get it?
can you show a screenshot?
Sounds like the pin message feature
yee think so too but would prefer be sure
unfortunately not. the streamer stopped today. he has it under his subscriptions in the chat.
I'll check out that pin message plugin. thanks. next time a take een screenshot
something like this?
that's him... yes
nah that's me
hahaha
and so yeah, it's not a plugin in obs
it's a pinned message, just click the lil pin icon when you hover over a message in the chat
You can do pins, and there is also the hype chat
Hype chat is when viewers pay for their message to be up top
I thought they discontinued that?
okee, in this case, the streamer had put in a message to e.g. get the chat hyped
o no, not that pin.. one sec
yeah, type whatever you want as a message, then click the pin icon and it'll get pinneed for however long you want
Can also have a poll message or highlight that stays at top
i mean this in the red. he used this to put in extra messages
https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/hype-chat-for-streamers?language=en_US
Yea. Can now pin with bits
https://youtu.be/zUkdFYgs0kc?si=oWXQXFkbKAZHQ0Xg
Also can use /pin
yes, as I said, just type the message you want in chat, then click the pin icon and it'll appear there
you can also pin other people's messages
only requirement is that you have mod rights for the channel
I will take a screenshot next time. thanks for the quick response people
why do you need to take a screenshot?
I feel like I meant something else after all, no disrespect intended. as it looked completely different
ok, don't worry, no offense taken
and if it looks different, by all means do come bak with a screenshot
hello, im looking for help with plug ins, trying to set up whattnott and i using my phone as a camrea. does any one know were i can find obs folders?
does the plugin in question not have an installer?
it has an installer but it not leting add it to obs, it eves me an error messge i can get a srean shot
sorry i been fighting with this all day
is obs currently open?
yes? should i try again
close obs before installing plugins, then try again
ok thats seem to fix it but i stll get find obs plugin in obs somthing i still need to do?
once it's installed and you restarted obs, it should eb listed as a new source
ok try that thank you so much
Anyone happen to have info about Move Source's Get Transformation not working?
I've seen multiple inquiries, but not much response.
🙂
did you put the filter on the source itself or on the scene the source is in?
Yeps. I've tried each variation.
(I noticed it didn't always have that requirement.
My old use and older tutorials reflecting that.)
might need to be more specific about the conditions where this is happening, i have added a move source to my scene and selected my capture device and it worked fine
I did a quick post last night.
Lemme see about bumping that
Bump
not sure, just tried adding a move source to a scene and selecting a group as the source like you did and it worked fine.
!log
Hah. Interesting.
Yeah. I've had this issue since I've been rebuilding my stuff this past few months.
(Fully reinstalled and on multiple computers)
I did one of those a couple months back. I'm not sure if I did it correctly / or missed a response.
(I'll do this again tonight once available.)
🙂
sorry i still get my phone to work as my camrea do i need to llike have a cable atacthed tot he pc to make it work or is there something im doing wrong?
Source record plug in question.
Is there a prefered encoder or preset with AMD software? I feel like I remember the AMD encoder not being that great, or at least being told that
ok ty
I'm looking for a way to have a video play within a text source. Instead of just white or black letters, I want to have a video file playing "behind" (?) just the letters themselves acting as the "color" of the text. I hope I explained it well enough. I don't know what this is called, otherwise I'd have searched it up and I'm going to continue searching. thanks!
I believe Advanced Mask plugin from @serene echo can do this IIRC
Yes, the advanced mask plug-in can do this. Just create a source with your text, add the advanced mask filter to your video, select “source” as the mask type, and select your text source as the source.
You can do it without plugins, too. Make a new scene, media source first, text source second. Set the blend mode of the media source to 'multiply'. Then include that scene wherever you want that text effect to appear.

does anyone know of a way to trigger an animation when a scene is switched to
my idea for a melee tournament layout is to have it so every time the scene is switched to the game scene, an animation of a door going up reveals the player cam under it, but from what I've looked there is no way to make an animation trigger like that
guys why is VB cable not working with my OBS for some reason
can someone help me with this issue
Is there a plugin/tool that can record my gameplay, but when I click a hotkey, it stops recording, deletes the recording, and then starts recording again? Wanna record my winning attempt at a Dark Souls boss, but don't wanna have a recording that's hours long or have a ton of recordings
The replay buffer is a feature that allows you to keep a rolling buffer of OBS' output for a set amount of time (known as "flashback recording"), which can be saved to disk as a recorded video when a hotkey is pressed. You can enable it via Settings -> Output.
No I don't want clipping, my thing is different lol (I know this is a bot but replying to let people know this isn't a solution)
What you described can be done by the replay buffer. It doesn't save a recording until you are ready It will be however long you pre-determine it, pending your available RAM. Other than that, you record and hit up a video editor app to clip the part you want.
But what I wanna clip would be a very long video, it takes me possibly more than five minutes just to deplete half of this boss's health (I do very little damage)
Then you record until you actually are ready to stop, then cut the unwanted part in an editor.
That would have a video that's hours long and I don't wanna deal with that in a video editor or on my storage
You're saying it could take hours to complete a boss kill? if so, you would still have the same problem with recording automatically as you describe in your first post.
To be fair, it shouldn't be hard to write a script to do exactly what they want (but don't look at me to do it, heh)
well yeah, but I've seen people ask for similar stuff and no one seems willing to write it.
I'm doing the boss when I'm technically not supposed to and barely chip at it's health with each attack, so it's taking me a while to beat but I'm stubborn and wanna beat it this way lol
The boss kill itself won't take hours, just all the attempts
Sounds like you'll have to suck it up and manually start and stop after each attempt. Delete, repeat until you get the kill.

You could probably right a macro using Streamdeck or Touch Portal to do the last two, but you have to remember to run the macro to stop the recording and delete the file.
or just tap record twice each time to get a new recording and just go back after and delete all the failed attempts. takes a bit of disk space, but not THAT much disk space.
Can be done by move plugin
Or create your own matte transition
move plugin and https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/dummy-source-to-execute-command.952/, haven't tried it yet but might be useful
Is there a plugin or some way to stream to three separate outputs at the same time, where two of the outputs are RTMP and one is SRT?
I’m aware multi rtmp exists but I want to stream simultaneously to two Twitch channels over RTMP as well as an SRT server
Or would it require some solution like relaying the stream from OBS through an intermediary that then sends out each of the streams?
the one solution currently would be to use obs itself to stream to the srt, and the multirtmp to stream to the two rtmps
if you want more than one stream to a non-rtmp ingest, however, stops being possible without a relay of sorts
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.
as far as I know, no
👍 Figures, ty
Perhaps this can be done with some Advanced Scene Switcher (or a similar plugin?) and some video files using alpha layer (or black in the empty areas with a color key)?
Depends on how you trigger it. If it's done by a hotkey, you could bind a Move filter to trigger along with it.
This can be done with some layering and some motion filters for sources.
I use Streamer.Bot.
It's great for setting up effects and animations.
It controls OBS elements through various trigger options.
I'd mock-up an example for ya, but my Move Transition plug-in is still on the fritz.
@ruby lichen Hello whenever you ready. i'll be online, for the obs local vocal and url source plugin talk
how can this be done to have the icon of the team disappear?
Looks like they are manually trigging it - either with a hot key / quick key or some other method. After they show the card you can see their left hand move off screen then the Detroit Lions icon disappears.
That was my thought. Probably with stream deck or touch portal
Here's a question: What's the easy way to do a 'reset' on something like that, so that all the sources that got disabled were re-enabled in one easy buttonpress?
assuming you're just hiding sceneitem, you can simply put the same hotkey for "show sceneitem" for all of them
if you want the trigger to be smth else than hotkey, adv-ss you go, or ws
I somehow keep forgetting that you can multi-assign hotkeys.
I'm struggling to understand something and maybe I'm missing an obvious explanation somewhere, but could someone elaborate for me on what exactly an Input is in OBS, vs a Source, vs a Scene Item?
well, to be clearer, I think I understand what a Source and Scene Item are, the main confusion is with what an Input is
Inputs are basically anything that comes from an outside source, but typically reserved for describing Audio Input. So things like mics, capture devices, etc, can be considered input devices.
hmm I see; I guess I'm confused then at why an input exists for a color source too
I think in that context, the 'input' is a reference or what color source's 'color' comes from.
I think I understand? so in the context of a source that has properties (which I know many types of source do), the Input is where those properties would actually be coming from?
basically yes, but only in the context of that Source and its properties.
that makes sense, thank you
I'm sure a dev will come in to point out if I was wrong about anything. Not that that's a bad thing, just watch here for a day or so, in case there are updates to your topic.
Actually in terms of OBS Development, Sources you see in the Sources List are all Inputs. Except composite sources, like scenes and groups, which will have different functions (I assume this is about Websocket development, as it is the API that uses the Input term).
So in short sources you can add to the Sources List are all called Inputs.
But not all sources are inputs. In the core obs api, source is a very broad term, including inputs, filters, scenes, transitions, and groups.
@ebon barn
huh, I see
SEE! ^^^ SEE! ^^^ 😆
also oh yeah it's for websocket stuff
Thanks @regal breach I figured I was oversimplifying it. 🍻
You're welcome
I should have kept to my first instinct, following an audio mixer flow: it's either an input, an effect, or an output.
Does anyone use the multi output plugin? I have been using it for a year and it's been fine. This week, when I use it in OBS it shows as connected and streaming, but it's not on twitch.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a plugin that could help in what I want to achieve.
I want to be able to have a source in my obs, that is only showing in OBS, not in the recording/stream.
Usecase: an image/text that says "You are currently muted" so I see in OBS that I am muted but this doesnt show to viewers
thanks in advance!
This is not currently possible.

I’m just not very well with this shit sorry homie
No worries, OBS is a tool, and like any tool you will have to learn to use it. Best to direct any specific questions to #windows-support
The guides should help get you started though!
I am going to try asking again. I have posted on the github for the plugin but to no avail.
Does anyone use the multi RTMP output plugin? I have been using it for a year and it's been fine. This week, when I use it in OBS it shows as connected and streaming, but it's not on twitch.

Show the output settings you are using for the multi ramp to twitch
Make sure stream key is hidden tho
For clarification, I have been using it effectively for over a year and it has worked fine and stopped without touching anything
Ah you are getting from obs. What if you configure the output settings manually? Been a while since I've messed with that plugin due to shit net
Do you guys know of any FREE microphone voice enchancements? I sound pretty bad.
all the tutorials for this say to get directly from OBS and that's how I've had working fine for a year
I can give it a go though
!voice
lots of audio filters already in OBS for your mic. This guide can help you get started.
A basic guide to improve your microphone quality can be found here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/514/
Is there a way to reflect the microphone to hear it as a test?
Yeah, record it. Write a short script and use it for each test. And make sure you speak the script the same way each time. Then make adjustments and record. Listen to it, adjust and test again if you don't like it.
That worked. I recently changed it from h.264 to h.265 for my settings and apparently it doesn't like that, so for the twitch putput I manually set it to h.264/ Thank you@
What's a good script btw.? any good examples or just any is fine
A good script would be words/phrases/content you will regularly say on mic. You are tuning your voice for what you say, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all script or test for audio.
That's good to know, thanks man
Hello guys , did someone know if obs have airplay server plugin or something like that directly from obs , thanks 
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
found out how
There are no "best plugins". Plugins are generally for things that OBS doesn't normally do natively.
All support is done in text channels, for moderation. Besides, no one know if they can help without you providing details first. Best to simply describe your issue. If someone online knows how to help they will reply.
Can you help me lol
I don't know, what do you need help with?
Obs. And windows 10. I suck at this kind of stuff
Like I’m trying to steam
Stream
head to #windows-support that's where you get help for using OBS on Windows PCs.
Describe what your issue is in detail (and one post, not one line at a time). If someone knows how to help your specific issue, they will reply.
And please, no unsolicited friend requests, against the server rules.
good morning, I can no longer download plugins via .exe files, it says access denied, what can I do?
I can’t add someone that could possible help me. Isn’t this want this platform is for lol
Like so far no in has done nothing but give me the obs website sorry but that’s not help ,
@tacit plover What are you having trouble with?
It is, the link I sent you was for the proper channel on this server to get help with using OBS on Windows. This channel is for plugin development.
Hi Chiyo. Windows ten and obs I just don’t get it I neee a step by step and someone to like video call in to help
Yep thought that it might be something like that. Twitch currently only ingests h264
@tacit plover We can teach specifics on how to operate obs-studio, but we can't teach you how to use a computer. You'd have to look elsewhere for that. And you can't skip this step, either - obs-studio is a realtime a/v compositor, you'll have to have some basic understanding of what's a computer and how to use one, and why.
I do, thanks. But this is the site they referred me too, this app. For you to help me lolz so
Have you tried the video guides I linked you?
They are on the "learning to extract and install a program" phase
Dot is taking by the hand to help
Fenrir coming in clutch there 😉
Thx, Fenrir!
is the stream elements plugin having issues right now? cause i uninstalled it and my obs worked normally, but when i reinstalled it my obs started crashing again
it has consistently been having issues for the past two years at least
and given they just released a big update, yeah, it's likely
not sure if this is the right place to ask this but is there any way (or perhaps a plugin) to set a source's bounding box to the current canvas size, or even to values relative to the current canvas size?
so that when you change the canvas, it changes with it?
yeah basically
you're compiling your own, right?
that's correct yeah
yoink that pr
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/9910

back shit up though, because it might mess things on migration, since it's still under review, not sure
Hey my OBS is still working well since last time you guys helped me, no problems today! Thank you again
Im running two Sream decks one is original model the one im having problems is with the mk.2 version.
try cropping it or using snip (side note, not a solution)
? 👀🔗🤷♂️https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us
Looking for a good option for a Countdown Timer if anyone has recommendations?
What’s everyone using to create clips from streams, what’s the best and easiest software to use? Been googling but want to hear some opinions and options here
how do I move my screen behind my overlays?
If you are streaming on Twitch then there is "built in" clipping. You can also use replay buffer recording
Drag it in your sources below your overlays
Yeah but those are pretty basic and was looking to make clips like this one…
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1__jbQRZMG/?igsh=MWMxNGNydjRwa2Yycw==
In that style I mean
gotcha.. so you want to make "shorts" / etc. I thought you were asking about making clips of streams 🙂
Ah yes haha sorry, those kinds of clips to post to my socials!

anyone know why i am getting a obs plugin load error obs-multi-rtmp version win 10 30.0.2
Hello everyone I need help... Please help me, I ran into a problem when recording via OBS. When I turn on recording or something similar, the mouse cursor disappears in games. Please help me with the problem. (P.S. I'm from Russia and I don't communicate well in English. I translate everything through a translator)
im trying to get obs setup to stream again
what error does it give you
don't use window/display capture in the same scene as the game capture
I only use screen capture
well, that's why.
use game capture for games
I'll try it well, thanks
i have not used it to stream for a few years but started to use it to record gameplay as proof of inocence had my gta game hacked after 3 days playing on pc now im lv 154 so i used it to submit video of it happening out of nowhere
that is the error i get every time i launch obs
well, do you want to use that plugin or no?
I dont even know what it is or where it is or how to update.
Thanks for the help, it helped
I checked for update checked for integrity
it's a plugin to stream to multiple services at the same time
I would like to have that option
But not necessary
Starting off streaming on twitch only again but mote do twitch and youtube unless that wont let me become a twitch affiliate or partner
Id really like to be able to become affiliate or partner if possible but if streaming to 2 services wont let me be partner then i will do without that pluging
Just tired of seeing it every dam time i open the program.
At this point
Please help
Any ideas on what they’re using?
ok no i do not want it i want it gone i do not want to see the error anymore how do i do that
i found the plugin folder and obs multi does not exist
you are asking how to delete a file?
how to update it to get it to work or how to remove it so i do not get the error any more
i just dont want to delete it and i still get the error
you know
want to remove it properly
A third party plug-in for streaming to multiple RTMP servers is available for OBS Studio. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964
but what about how to remove the current multi rtmp
what if i do not want a multi stream plugin
see the blue section
so literally just delete the folder
ty
deleted no more error
just did not want to delete the file and then screw the whole program up and have to reinstall and start from scretch
when it comes to a computer, nearly everything you do can always be undone.
has anyone found a way to get stream fx for obs 30?
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/freefx-streamfx-fork.1754/
This should work
Or that if you want to help make sure StreamFX (and thus FreeFX, since it's basically just a rebuild) doesn't get any further development.
i went paid, took all but a couple minutes to setup, worked a treat, thank you for your help, saved me a whole lotta time looking on the web, hugely appreciated, thank you
❤️ I realize that not everyone can afford to pay/doesn't make sense for everyone, but if everyone just goes free, the thing just... won't get developed anymore, and then everyone loses. So I for one appreciate it. [no, I have no relation to Xaymar... I've talked to him a total of like once in the last several years, even]
in a perfect world, devs could make a living of software that is used and appreciated by thousands of people, including those who make money themselves while using the software
Hey everyone I'm new to using Obs
For some reason my settings got changed and I can't figure out how to get my audio to work I'm using a capture card.
I had this working 2 days ago and now it's not and I can't figure out why is there anyone that can help me fix my settings.
I'm literally clueless about it.
Maybe send me a YouTube link I can watch or something
I went in circles for days trying to get my audio from my Elgato to my secondary computer.
My windows setting for the Stereo Mix just doesn't seem to work.
That's generally the way to go to have 2 audio monitoring pathways. (to headphones and capture card).
I ultimately had to resort to using the Elgato Sound Capture software to send through the HDMI pathway.
but it's totally outside the spirit of the GPL, you could ask to pay for premium support, just like many community driven software, even CRM or ERP, but making the source available in discord to keep it GPL compliant, is very much like twisting the rules to suit your convenience
and ask for a monthly payment, if you are moving to a new place, and active development just stops for several months, do you really want to pay for that?
Offering the source code for free and charging for supported binaries (which is what Xaymar does) is absolutely in the spirit of the GPL and is pretty much responsible for the existence of a large number of modern open source projects. If you want actually against the spirit of the GPL you'll need to head over to your average Blender community where you'll be accused of piracy if you don't pay for a "paid" GPL'd addon and there are multiple developers that will blacklist you if they think you've been giving out copies of their "paid" GPL'd addon.
the other thing about GPL (unless I'm misremembering) is you don't need to make the source code publicly available for free; you just need to make sure that a copy is available for users of your software
so it can be locked behind paying for said software too afaik
Correct. The rule is "if you distribute binaries, you must also distribute source", and that you cannot limit what anyone can do with that source once they have it.
I mean, if we're being honest, there's a huge amount of projects that are just open source and don't even provide binaries at all, heh.
ffmpeg being a key example there.
They do not provide first-party compiled binaries.
ok, but, at some point, the binaries were built by github actions, so they have had the opportunity to have those binaries and download them, and in the spirit of the GPL they can be shared right? so why does one of my friends have a cease and desist letter for sharing binaries created by github actions?
I don't have any insight on that specific situation, nor does anyone else here, so I have no comment other than copyright/trademark do not cease to exist because of the GPL.
(see e.g. RedHat)
Also, how and where a binary is built is irrelevant to its redistributability. Completely unrelated topic.
i'm not telling that copyright does not exists, it exists but you are licencig the software in an open aproach, but a cease and desiste letter seems quite rude for me
and also pay 4 monts of silver patreon if you are not developing anything at all, i will be more than happy to give him 20-40 bucks for a build thatg i don't gonna need to build myself
but don't take me too seriously, I'm almost 50 years old and I've gotten grumpier with age.
I don't know the specifics of the situation in question but my understanding is that the GPL does explicitly allow distributing verbatim copies of the Program in executable form so long as those copies are distributed with the appropriate copyright notice, license, etc (which would allow those copies to be redistributed too under the same terms)
Click the gears on the bottom left of your Audio Mixer. Post a screenshot of that window. Also post a screenshot of the audio portion of your Settings. Most all of my audio problems have been resolved between these two screens.
I already got it fixed but thank you anyways
Does anyone happen to know a plugin that makes progress bars not a giganitic pain in the ass? I've been working on a now-playing overlay and I'd like to add a progress bar to it. I have the song length, current position, and the percentage throughout the song I am. I've already tried making a progress bar through a browser, but trying to feed the information to the window was irritating and the final product did not play well with any of my solutions.
Not looking for something that does it all for me like tuna, just a progress bar.
I'm pulling information from the Windows Runtime API so I can use any media player I'd like.
Hello there. i am completely new to all this streaming thing. so need some serius help here. I have installed version 30 of obs studios and then the latest version of websocket (5.0.1) but i keep getting the same error everytime and i have tried basically everything with help from another streamer. please help!
Websocket is automatically included with v30.
don't forget --no-preserve-root
i have no idea what that mean lol
It's a joke about their username
oh okay lol
okay so i still have a problem here. I am trying to connect touch portal to OBS, and for that. the websocket should be in tools in OBS, but.. it is not there.. any suggestions?
AMD Ryzen 5 4500U - OK! / Ryzen 3 4300G with Radeon Graphics - Possible bottleneck
!downloads
yeah, the issue is that you tried to install an outdated version of websocket, which overwrote the builtin one.
Just download the obs installer and run it
OBS Studio can be downloaded:
aah okay. ty!
I ended up just using PILLOW in python to draw a progress bar manually... Not entirely happy with the end product, but whatever.
if you want to do it in-obs, a color source whose size you change
not if I wanted it rounded 😦
i made it work! tysm guys 🙂
if you want it rounded, put an alpha mask on it
but tbh yeah, at some point, if you want to create smth complex, making it in html+js in a browser source is usually the most practical
yeah but passing information from python to javascript is a gigantic pain in the ass (I hate node)
I don't even know if OBS will support node, don't think so
could use custom obswebsocket messages to pass info
yeah, this is the only problem with the current method. for some reason pillow will create a oval for a small rectangles
If any body is using elgato stream deck i need some help binding an OBS plugin to one of the keys, don't know if this the correct place to ask
For help with Elgato products, please submit a ticket with them directly at https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. They also have a community Discord server.

hello, can i get help with bongocat here?
that plugin is very old and unmaintained, but what is the issue
like, i followed a tutorial for ir, but it does not appear
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - OK! / Ryzen 3 4300G with Radeon Graphics - Possible bottleneck
the plugin is loading correctly
but where do i find it?
Log contains debug or verbose error messages (browser/ftl/directshow/etc), for a filtered version click here
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X - OK! / GeForce RTX 3060 - OK!
show me a screenshot of the list that appears when you add a new source
it's in spanish, but you'll see that bongocat isn't there
wait what....
it wasnt' there
ahahahah
thank you
👍
Is there a plugin that can record your in game mic? For reason like in lethal company where your voice echos. It would be cool to have that in recordings
Source recording plugin may be able to do audio only. I've never tried it. Otherise, you can record separate audio tracks in OBS, so you can isolate a source to its own track and extract it with a video editor.
Hi, I am trying to install a plugin to obs, i am not sure how it is supposed to work
its for streaming on multiple platforms
once installed, you can find its controls under "docks"
oh wow, TY I wasn't sure where to find it
AMD Ryzen 5 4600G - OK! / GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - OK!
bangs head into table im about to drop the dv from adv-ss... j/k ive been editing these 4 macros for hours trying to delay one so it fires later then the other, not realizing they fire in there placement order, so if you want z to fire before x, movie it up above x, how did I miss this the whole time ive been messing with it
is there any way to make an element with an assignable hotkey, to select any window i want to capture for streaming, besides 'gaming' applications? i don't want to stream my entire display, nor setup any variable window i want to show on stream, manually (it could be too many, it's inconvenient to me)
@frozen anvil Window capture by hotkey? No, that's not a thing, you'll have to use the UI to select a different window manually.
any possible workarounds to achieve this effect anyway?
@frozen anvil I suppose you could use a window manager that supports "tags" (kind of like virtual desktops, but a window can be assigned to more than 1 "tag") to only show windows that have a specific "tag", but such window managers on Windows are an even bigger pain to operate than they are on Linux, and they have a learning curve. Then you'd be able to use display capture and only show what you need to show. Look up bug.n if I piqued your curiosity.
is there a way to use the Application Audio Capture (BETA) to either exclude certain audios, or to have it capture any game audio on 1 audio source? I normally use the win-capture plugin with exclusions on an audio source but I see I can't do exclusions with the AAC
@hollow iron No.
Hi, I have some problems getting the Move Transition Plugin from Exeldro to work. I tried the newest Plugin Version with OBS v28 and the latest Version. Tried Manual and Installer Versions but it just doesn't want to show up in OBS. Can somebody help?
Log: https://obsproject.com/logs/xlXqfhtHa9fmoZoe
Intel Core i7-13700K - OK! / GeForce RTX 4080 - OK!
how exactly are you installing it?
I tried both the Installer exe and the manual copying of the files.
did you restart obs after running the installer?
yes multiple times with and without Admin rights
right click the shortcut you use to open obs, click "properties" and show me what appears
Well I normally use a Stream Deck Plugin to start the App... so if that helps i can show you the setting i made in that plugin but I think its not really what you are asking for :/
do show
ok, what folder are you unzipping the plugin's files into?
"C:\Program Files\obs-studio" just as it says in the Installation guide
well yeah, that's the issue.
That folder is the default one where obs installs, but as you can see, that's not where your obs is installed.
unzip in B:/OBS/obs-studio
Works. What a fing dumbass I can be sometimes... Thanks for the quick help.
👍

Hey Penwywern you around? trying to change how adv-ss does my commercials, not sure if theres a way to do it
nah I'm never here.
jokes asides, explain the usecase and show the macros and we'll have a looksie
well, i setup the commercials from the wiki example, then you helped me add a variable so it would play 2, then return... only thing i want to change is when going to com it shows a source instead of changing scenes... just running into a roadblock on how it knows what source it came from to go back to if that makes sense
show me the macros you have rn
heh, too many, ok
those are the ones that matter, the others are just the variable macro and one to fix the variable if it messes up
ok, and what in that exactly do you want to change?
i forgot this is "in the process" of trying to change it, soooo image 4 the source condition, thats supposed to be scene change to previous scene, i wanna make it know which source was active and show that source
like a goto previous scene but with toggling source visibilty
oh, so, like with one of those three?
yep
you can use a variable as the name of the sceneitem to change (click on the cog next to it)
So, create a macro for each of those sceneitems, that put its source name in a variable when its visibility gets turned on, then when switching back, use that variable to turn on the visibility, and it'll automatically select the one who was the last to get its visibility turned on
i have no idea how to do that, but im gonna try to figure it out so i dont gotta keep bugging you 😉
which part?
the variable part, gotta learn this shit sometime, just wish i knew a spot with more examples to learn from, the wiki is kinda basic
Anyone have experience with Tuna selecting the wrong VLC source? I have it set up to show the current song playing but for some reason it keeps showing the info for the background video. I had it working fine before migrating to a new PC but can't seem to find a fix.
With the Tool EYE you can scan any GAME for Events and use those to TRIGGER OBS. I made a full Guide on the newest Version 1.2 https://youtu.be/yFHxyrjs6-I
let me know if im on the right track, making new macro, if scene item vis = ktv / variable set value of lastactvsrc to ns: ktv (exact naming of source), then in switch back scene item vis - scene - show - cog - variable - lastactvsrc?
nevermind, it worked, i thought i was close but still wrong, but i forgot to check the variable macros
Is there any resource to look at or create, and make a "glitch" type transition?
I searched everywhere but couldn't find any information.
Hi, I'm trying out the multiple output RTMP plugin, but it won't work, can anyone help me? When I start stream, the stream through obs settings will work fine, but the ones setup through the plugin display "error: failed to connect to server"
google nerdordie (i cant link) they have a couple
i'm trying to setup my OBS with perhaps the google API so that I am able to get closed captures in other languages by the use of AI or something - what would the best way be to go about this?
You can use LocalVocal https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/localvocal-seamless-live-transcriptions-on-the-go.1769/ for local transcription / captions (not API), and for translation there are several options (like Polyglot https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/polyglot-real-time-local-translation-service-for-obs.1818/) but I do recommend in this case to use eg OpenAI for translation using URL/API Source https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/url-api-source-live-data-media-and-ai-on-obs-made-simple.1756/
I've made tutorials on how to do this, including a demo of this from today's live stream
Do I not need the Google API then?
Cos the Google API seems to do translation relatively quick
That's why I was particularly looking into it
google API for translation? or captions? or captions that are immediately trnslated?
what are the most useful plugins to have (for recording gameplay/doing voiceover on it)
captions which are immediately translated
Hi, my multiple output plugin won't work, giving me "error: failed to connect to server." whenever I try to stream (the main stream through obs settings is working fine). What do I do?
what url did you put?
It also matters if you're translating to or from English
To-english you can achieve with LocalVocal internal translation
From-english I think the best way is a two-step approach: transcribe and translate
I also think the Google transcription plugin is capable of that https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/closed-captioning-via-google-speech-recognition.833/ but I think it's limited to a set of common languages
See my msg above ⏫
Hey! I saw a while back that there was a plugin that lets you mark important moments when you record or stream, I don't imagine how it works, sounds like a fever dream. Anyway, I don't know how to find it, has anyone heard of it?
I can think of two. chapter-marker and InfoWriter 😅
Where should i ask a about recording and stuf
depends on what about recording and stuff you mean 😛
Thanks!
Like how can i make a spesific part of my screen not be recorded, i once dod it long ago but i forget how to do it now
!s I think the support channels would be appropriate 🙂
If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!
so for windows (most common), that would be #windows-support
Aight window it is
Thanks, does it have instructions for how to integrate it with the Google API cos when I installed this plugin (think I did this last night), it didn't have a point at which it asked me for any details like tokens etc
it doesn't require a token, but i'm not sure about translations, that might actually require more API integration
Is that something that exists at the moment?
Or something that would have to be coded
Essentially I'm working on a small project so that as I'm recording something it will provide real time closed captions which would be the translated language from english
So something would need to transcribe and translate whatever I'm saying
As I'm saying it
Not sure if it's something that would be available at the moment
Or if I would have to make my own thing
If I would make my own thing tho it seems as though it would be in python which I'm not really proficient in (I program in C)
you can do it 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 vid as well https://youtu.be/Q34LQsx-nlg
Perfect, ok
I will have a look
Thanks!

Hello everyone. I am in the process of creating a plugin and realise that I am missing the websocket server settings in the tools. I have tried to install files for this from the internet, but to no avail. What can I do to get the websocket settings back into the tools? I know that I still had the tools in version 29.0.3, but after the update to 30 they are no longer there.
re-run the 30.0.2 installer
Adv-ss question... I have a bunch of different type of sources that are off in a scene and grouped in the scene... when visable they play aud/vid... If music is playing you cant hear the audio, so I wanna duck the music if something in that scene or group plays, is there a condition to target all sources in a scene/group without adding them all individually
hey, i saw a video where someone explained how to stream OBS, and they used a thingly that blotted out all but one specific part of their stream. sort of like cropping their stream image. Does anyone know how i can do that?
blotted, like everything was blurred around one spot that was clear and in focus?
The compressor filter has a ducking source. I use it for ducking music in live streams
Is that helpful?
I believe Advanced Mask and Composite Blur from @serene echo can do that https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/composite-blur.1780/ https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/advanced-masks.1856/
Hah
I was just messing around with that and watching Nutty's tutorial.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btzlExdrsg4&ab_channel=nutty
for this method
apparently it's a legacy thing now (the completion thing)
so is it still gonna work?
Going to have to get an API key... Getting it is free and there's no subscription fees it's pay per use.
I can help in a DM
thanks! i have the api key which i put in after bearer
but still does that
Remove the ":" from the header name
this is good now?
some reason it says i didn't provide a model
This is directly from the openai docs:
curl https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test!"}],

Try this. Character to character

Hi I need help to stream a youtube live in 2 different computers
vdo.ninja is your friend
can anyone tell me why my ndi source from my gaming pc doesnt show up on my streaming pc?? im trying to use gamepad viewer but i cant get them to show up to my other pc
OBS Studio has an NDI plugin available, which can be found here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/528/
For additional support and discussion, visit the obs-ndi Discord
Question, I am looking for a video plugin or something that can turn on and off a filter based on a timer. There is a filter I want to run every minute or so for a few seconds.
!sceneswitcher This can do it easily. It's a little complicated but worth the time to learn
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.
I dont remember it doing this before, but Media Playlist Source is what im using for identity videos, it plays 2 per "break", but MPS now is playing 1 - 2 then 2-3 then 3-4 etc, ie video 1 is always the last played, and the 2nd is a random shuffle, any idea how to make both random picks
are you using advanced scene switcher for this?
Yes
one thing, can you first try to try both Media Playlist Source 0.0.4 and 0.0.5? I did change some things so perhaps that's where things changed
I’ll give it a shot
next please take a screenshot of your advanced scene switcher macros
The macros are the commercial interruption example on adv-ss, with a few mods that don’t correlate to mp itself, just an added variable so it switches after x amount of plays rather then a set time, but I can still cap if u want
yeah i do
specifically the macro in charge of stopping the media source/switching scenes
anyway the remedy is still easy, i'm just trying to learn more about this issue
the remedy is to simply do the Media > Next in adv-ss after stopping the source/switching scenes
its that first one, its using a variable to know which source was visable before switching to commercials
umn i guess more explination is needed, its in a group thats using a script to only allow one source to be active, so when it goes to comm, it activates the comm source, when it switches back to the last known active source
is that enough, or you want the others? your fix did work
Did you try the 0.0.4 or 0.0.5?
5, dawned on me i never installed 4, so i musta been thinking about when i was using vlc
pls help me where is my window stage
Docks in OBS can be managed from the Docks menu in the main OBS window.
You can toggle docks on and off, or lock or unlock docks to prevent moving and editing, as well as add custom browser-based docks here.
You can also reset the UI from this menu to return your docks to their original state (Docks > Reset Docks).
For other issues, please see a support channel ( #windows-support )
i love you
Okay so I guess it's working as intended. Yeah even if i were to do the same setup, I'd do the fix I mentioned. Thanks
Hello can i ask scripting questions here?
you could, but is there a reason why you feel like the #scripting is not more appropriate? 😅
Hey all, I am using StreamerBot to populate a typing Move Value filter on a text source. This is all working fine the majority of the time, but sometimes it will successfully populate the filter and enable it, and the animation will run, but will omit “typing” the last few characters of the text.
Has anyone seen anything similar to this or can suggest a likely cause? I’m keen to stop using Twitch’s alerts and do it locally but this is in my way!
Guys i dont use OBS too long time and now download it, i remember that in micro filter was too many VST pluggins from obs, where it all?
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.
scripting is not on the list channels ... wait is it hidden somehow? where do i go look for it?
Hello, all! I need help with Move Transition Plugin!
I had to reinstall OBS, so I reinstalled this plugin, but it's not showing on my filter options! Any idea how to fix it?
did you restart obs after installing the plugin
Yes, I did.
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - OK! / GeForce RTX 2050 - OK!
I’m not gonna tag you like a total noob, but if Exeldro happens to see this…is there a working link to how to use the shine shader? The video link in GitHub doesn’t work anymore
Hello Good evening
I have been trying to download the NDI plugin for my OBS
But the link to the windows exe file is not downloading
I need help in any way
Even if it is to share the file if you have it
It didn't load in. Did you use the plugin's installer or unzip it manually?
It did not even install
I tried downloading the windows exe
Okay
I just tried again
I think it is okay now
I did both
When one didn't work, I tried the other method
Try disabling Bitdefender and try the installer again.
Great work. We're here if things go sideways
I even uninstalled BitDefender. Tried both installer and copying the files and still nothing.

Wild. Is OBS installed in a different location than default maybe?
It isn't. Could it be that OBS is not running as adm?
sorry, yeah, i was headed to bed when you got on, played with it another hour or 2, ended up crashing... but thanks for the help
!plugins I think the installer looks for OBS in the default location, so that's probably why it doesn't work that way.
Check the path and manually install the plugin again with the zip file method
OBS Studio supports a variety of plugins that provide new kinds of sources, filters, and additional features.
What you will want to do with the path is find the actual place you have OBS installed and find the folder in relation to where the guide page says. Adjust as needed
I tried the unzipping the files too... Nothing
Can you show me the path where you placed them?
insite Program files (x86). But I just found another obs folder in Program Files.
not sure why I have 2!
That's probably it. X86 is only for old programs
Do you think it's ok for me to delete the x86 folder? So I don't mistake the 2 anymore?
I unzipped the files in Program Files/obs-studio and it worked 😒
No, cuz I don't know what it's for exactly.
When I don't know what something does I leave it alone, otherwise I break stuff LOL
Glad it worked!
true!
Thank you so much, @hallow vale !
You're most welcome!
Did you perhaps added a folder in the list? 0.0.5 has a crashing issue with a folder in the list that I haven't debugged yet, sorry. If that's not it, I'd want to know what causes your crash.
Anyone else having trouble with the Sora rtmp multi-stream plugin on Mac? I can't get it to work
yep, if you posted that somewhere, my apologies for bringing it up again, i didnt see it
I'd do it for the same reason, but @hallow vale also has a point here - what I do in such cases is rename the folder, so that something that relies on it would break and I'd notice, and then I set a reminder for myself for in a week or two, could also do a month to be sure, and if you didn't notice anything amiss until then it should be safe to entirely delete it
This is a good strategy, yes!
so far it hasn't failed me
Being reversible is a very good thing. ❤️
and I get into a lot of such situations, because that's how confused I am about the stuff I got installed 😛
I feel you. Sometimes I'm looking around and go "WTF has past me been doing?!"
exactly 😄
I usually just add an underscore to the folder name, as naturally folder names never look like this_ and it's quick to do it - and even if I forgot to set a reminder for myself, I sometimes find such folders months later, and then at least I can be really really sure it's safe to delete 
That's a very smart way to make them noticable!
Does anyone know of a well working plugin that can lets say stream to both youtube and twitch? I found one with over a million downloads, and it hasnt been updated for ages, as well as people complaining about its customizability. I'm talking about https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964/
It works well and it's most recent update was Dec 2023. For anything else you would need Restream or some other services multistreaming (usually paid)
It says its last update was the initial release though
No that's only the initial release date. Look at the downloads page.
ohhhh, i see, dec 2 2023
I think that other update number is just borked haha
never really used a github download before so i dont know how to, plus ive never used plugins lol
Yeah, it's weird to get used to. I never knew my way around until I started hanging out here
Use the installer file, BTW. Manually unzipping plugins is a pain
my anti virus does not like it
Time to ditch the AV then.
Yeah, that happens sometimes. OBS plugins are all vetted to be safe. That's a false positive
how does the exe work? does it just automatically unzip its own file and moves it into the plugins folder by itself? And after that, am I free to uninstall the installer?
this is the correct thing i believe
Yes, the installer puts the files in the right place for OBS to use. You can delete the installer file afterwards, just don't uninstall
Make sure OBS is closed when you run it. Or close and reopen after installing
Yup, that's the right one!
wonder how to use it
Do you know how t use it?
I haven't used it myself (my upload speed sucks) but I am sure some folks can help once you get it installed. Some of it is the same as OBS streaming settings if I understand correctly.
If you wanted to change one scene while another scene is being streamed, this mode lets you do it where people can't see.
An overview of OBS Studio's Studio Mode can be found here: https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview#studio-mode
Yup! Bot has more info ^
where is the plugins folder
watching a video on how to get it working, and the stuff isnt appearing
Using the installer means you don't need to put anything in the plugins folder.
Unless you have OBS installed somewhere besides C:/Program Files etc
I know, but it does not appear in my Docks tab like the video shows, although the video is using an older version of OBS where the dock tab is in view, it should still appear in the new Docks tab
I think it's in the Tools menu
nope
lemme try updating which i hope will help xd
um, after updating, something called "YouTube Live Control Panel" opened on the right
is that normal
also obs updating showed it, so thats all good, now im confused by yt live control panel lol
Yeah, when you are signed in to a YT account that appears. It's relatively new
You can close it if you want
im not signed in through obs though, which is funny
!log Can you send a log?
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G - OK! / GeForce GTX 1660 Ti - OK!
Nothing sticks out to me.
When multistreaming, though, being signed in to YouTube is the easiest way. The chat dock changes URL every time you start a stream if not.
So YT in OBS Settings, everything else in the multi-rtmp stuff
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - OK! / GeForce RTX 3070 - OK!
help!
alr i understand now
im not a very good helper, but on the OBS Bot response, the solutions/full analysis could come in handy
Windows 10 22H2 (OK)
Non-Default x264 Preset
Windows Game Mode
Third-Party Plugins (2)
thats what im trying to understand lol
You should probably stick to #windows-support where you are actively getting help.
Hi I need help with the Downstream Keyer plugin. I need some keyboard shortcut to turn it on, I have already figured out how to turn it off, how to move up and down in it. when I'm at the PC it's ok but I need it to be able to control it remotely. via shortcut or via streamdeck
I need help with the NDI plugin. I upgraded to 30.0.2, installed NDI Runtime 5.5.3 and installed Plugin 4.4.3. When I go to open OBS, I don't see the NDI Settings under tools, did I miss a step?
Windows 10; intel i5-3340M CPU @2.70GHz, 64 bit, 16 GIG RAM.
!ndi If I read correctly, the current version if the plugin is 4.13.0
OBS Studio has an NDI plugin available, which can be found here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/528/
For additional support and discussion, visit the obs-ndi Discord
Typo 413 is the corect what i hve installed.
!log Oh, good. Can we check a log?
Intel Core i5-3340M @ 2.70GHz - Below minimum requirements / NVS 5200M - Possible bottleneck
The NDI plugin isn't loading. Did you use the installer or manually unzip?
Installer
Is OBS installed somewhere that isn't the default?
I thought it might have, so I uninstalled it and installed it in the default folder.
Try running the installer one more time with OBS closed. I have occasionally had them not work first time
Just ran the installer again, same result.
Some AV can block installation. Try disabling Avast, or better, uninstall it temporarily.
I'll cross my fingers for you!
!plugins Dang. Grab the NDI zip file and try to manually install. 👇
OBS Studio supports a variety of plugins that provide new kinds of sources, filters, and additional features.
Should I see some form of ndi.dll in the obs plugin folder?
You should put the ndi dlls in the folder
!ndi Link to the page again so the files are handy. You need the non-installer zip
OBS Studio has an NDI plugin available, which can be found here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/528/

Got it, I think the previous NDI plugin file was corrupt
I'm so glad it's working now!
Thank you for your help!
You're welcome! Anytime
no, i haven't posted it yet. only found about it after releasign 0.0.5. if folders are critical to your workflow, you may downgrade temporarily to 0.0.4. Just note about the bugs present in that version that are fixed by 0.0.5
It’s all good, only crashes (for me) when adding the folder, but if I do a few things, keep closing the window after each, it’ll let me add the folder, it’s usually if I try to change more then one setting that it crashes
interesting
I borrowed a link from SLOBS to track subs for a sub goal. Am I correct in assuming that it doesn’t update automatically?
Is there any alternative that does track goals like subscribers and donations that auto updates itself?
do your folders contain videos? I debugged and one crash issue I get is when adding a folder that doesn't contain files that are recognized (it's not technically empty, but it contains .mpg files, which aren't added to the file extension whitelist, so the source reads nothing from the folder). this specific case is not that hard to patch, just have to figure out how to code it cleanly.
but i was wondering if your crashes are the same.
oh, there's another crash with shuffle enabled, and non-empty folders
i do have videos, i think they are in webm format
just checked, yeah webm
yup
thanks
maaaaaaan
i have been putting off a rewrite of the plugin haha
it has come to bite me now
hah, well like i said, if ur savy enough you can make it work, but i figured youd rather know about it
i might need to research code of other players that can toggle between shuffle and non-shuffle mode
my code is kinda messy due to having the ability to switch and support folders
like, afaik, the vlc player doesn't actually support folders
when you select a folder, it adds the contents, which is easier logically lol
anyway i'll try to patch in a fix to the two crashes i found in the meantime, should get it out in a few days
@sleek lynx could you spare some of your time and test this build? i think i got the crashes fixed
https://github.com/CodeYan01/media-playlist-source/actions/runs/7592829244?pr=25
i cant make it happen anymore
i suppose it is indeed fixed, thanks! please let me know if you experience any other issues
will do
in a few days i suppose ill release it as 0.0.6 if no other issue crops up
ill do more later, but just ran it through like 5 advss commercial switches, acts fine, think you got it
are there any plugins that can see pngs or pictures within a folder and automatically make image sources for them instead of having to do it manually
Afaik you could just use the image slide show source and add a directory
No need to make separate image sources
ohhhh
thank you very much lol
wait is there a way to cut into the image slide show with something not in the image slide show source, think of it like a news show where they cut graphics to people talking
!sceneswitcher use this plugin
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.
oh alright, this is helpful, i set it up so when you move to another slider, it kills the slide source, but how do i bring it back when you click on the hotkey to move to another slide?
just switch back the scene
you may have to enable "pause when not visible" in image slide show source
Oh alright, one last question, is there a plugin that makes it so you see the image sources as a preview and have it display on screen without have to click on the hide eye to hide it
Kinda like what a tricaster does for its graphics and whatnot
Something like the top left of this where you can see the pictures and you just have to click for it to show up in the preview screen in studio mode
An overview of OBS Studio's Studio Mode can be found here: https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview#studio-mode
Is there a good tool to have sources slide into frame and out of frame on a timer automatically?
@fallen eagle Yes, the move transition plugin.
Previously, in the old OBS there was such a thing to select any sound in OBS
Is there no way to do this in OBS 30?
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/win-capture-audio.1338/
@vital condor If you refer to the win-capture-audio plugin, you can install and use it. https://github.com/bozbez/win-capture-audio/releases
30.0.2 obs work?
@vital condor It should.
No worked 😦
@vital condor You used the executable installer and you don't see 2 different audio capture source options when adding a new source?
This is what it looks like after installation (not supposed to work)
@vital condor Are you sure you took the zip from https://github.com/bozbez/win-capture-audio/releases and extracted to the correct folder?
i use auto exe
1 Sec
If you have more than 1 obs-studio install, it may install in the wrong folder.
yes i have 27 and 30 versions
Where should I unpack the plugin?
@vital condor Merge the data and obs-plugins folders with the folders where obs-studio is installed.
yes ?
Yes.
obs-plugins yes?
Both folders.
I didn’t use the new version for half a year simply because this plugin didn’t work there)
It's one of the very few plugins that works on both v27.x and v28+, very rare. I don't think there are any others like that.
What plugin can replace Stream Fx? to blur certain parts of the screen?
thanks Another question: is it possible to lower or raise audio tracks in the new OBS? so that the microphone is on top
they are sorted alphabetically. you can also set the name to start with a number
@vital condor The audio mixer dock sorts alphabetically, so right-click rename them, and restart obs-studio.
@dark sapphire @untold jay Thank you guys - you’re just opening up new spaces for me))) I really didn’t want to switch to version 30 for a whole year because of the blur and audio capture ahaahha
Where can I get good obs 30 settings for GTA\Tarkov? The new encoding settings are a little unclear to me
@vital condor Simple output mode already uses "good settings" by default.
Is it possible to somehow hide the rating of donors in the obs?
Almost everything is set up, just a couple of little things left)
does Transition Table support obs 30 or does it work
looking to see if i can update to fix virtual cam issues
yes, it does
perf ty
MPP is ignoring the shuffle checkmark, i am testing to change to it for my main videos too, because yours doesnt cutoff the begining and ending audio like vlc... this is without using advss
oh i guess you know that, because advss trick fixes it
What do you mean ignores the shuffle checkmark? Elaborate a bit more?
Using a Macbook Air M1 2020. The Sora multi-stream OBS plugin doesn't work on my main user profile, but if I log into a different profile, it suddenly works. I've deleted and reinstalled OBS on my main user profile, I've also looked through my security settings and can't seem to find anything here. Both user profiles are running the same version of OBS. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
is the real website obsproject
!download Here you go
OBS Studio can be downloaded:
but how do u know its safe
That's the official bot post for downloads, provided by the OBS Project who maintain and update the bot messages. All bot messages are triggered by humans.
There have been fakes at times. The above is the official site.
Its been obsproject.org for as long back as i can remember
Like I put my whole playlist in on another mps source, clicked loop, clicked shuffle, starting watching, I think the first 2 or 3 were random, then it just started playing alphabetically, you can randomize it a bit with the advss trick, but it ends going back into alphabetical if u don’t do it constantly
Also, if you unclick loop, for me, it would stop playing after one video, maybe because all I have in the list is one directory?
Trust that it's the official obs page just renamed (as happens with some companies) The website is obsproject but the software is obs studio. Like steam is steampowered.com but the software is just steam.
You can of course download it from the official github as it's opensource. https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/30.0.2 (which links to obsproject)

Hello, anyone here can help me where can I find the updated Virtual Cam Filter for obs? please
The Virtual Camera is built into OBS, no plugin necessary.
@harsh spear The built-in virtual camera can already project sources and scenes, us ethe cog icon. Is that enough?
I use a third-party app that I found on GitHub to stream on TikTok using OBS. However, it's not working now. This is what I used before: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/virtual-cam-filter.1142/ . But right now, tiktok live studio can't detect it.
@harsh spear Does "obs virtual camera" appear in the list of cameras?
Hello @untold jay I figured it out. hehe Thank you. It's working now.
guys need big help ^^
What plugins are there for color correction/blur similar to what Stream FX used to be?
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/freefx-streamfx-fork.1754/ doesnt this work too?
strictly speaking, it works, but it's one beta release of streamfx and it's not maintained norr supported
Hi so sorry, having some problems with Aitum backtrack at the moment:
Currently audio is muted for my mic on some clips, but not others
Might anyone know any check I can do other than the typical ones like audio sources?
Already have an existing thread in Aitim's discord but no workable solution was offered
For help with the Aitum OBS plugin or their tools and services, please join their community Discord server for direct troubleshooting.
dont tested
are there any viruses here? and so on.
it's literally just a fork of streamfx
that is, something dangerous, etc. It can’t be there right? tested plugin?
it's literally, just the code of streamfx
so i essentually need karaoke lyrics to appear on the bottom of the screen
i dont need anything fancy, just to be able to set the text to one of 30-to-50 slides
you'll presumably need them to be synced to the song?
im going to do that using an interface of some sort
all i need to figure out is how to connect to obs
honestly, by far the easiest would be to prepare it in advance, render a video with the audio of the song and the lyrics as the visual and just play that in obs
thats not really possible, i need to do it live
well, you'll have to prepare the lyrics beforehand anyways, no?
yeah but i already have that done, i just need to be able to alter the text value of the source object in obs
(by have that done i mean i have a system that i can use to do that if needed)
ok, if you want lower effort, turn the text into images and use an image slideshow source?
thats a possibility, but i'd like to see if i can change a text object
so i just need to look up the source and alter the property?
