plugins-and-tools

[fossil wyvern]

ok, all I can tell you here is that it doesn't do that on my vlc source

make sure it's actually selected to loop and that your vlc is updated?

[fierce sphinx]

Well, I was using version 3.0.0, because that's the only version tuna works with

Would that possibly be the only reason why it doesn't automatically play the next one?

[fierce sphinx]

Other than trying the latest version with tuna, which I haven't really actually done yet, since the obs plugin page says to use 3.0.0—I'm not sure what else to try, since I know for a fact that it's actually selected for both loop and shuffle, cuz that's one of the first things I tried to check, when I first noticed the issue

[oblique yew]

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file. Follow these instructions to upload your current log file:

1. In OBS Studio, click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File
2. Click the Copy URL button
3. Paste the URL into this Discord channel

[fierce sphinx]

Will do, currently rearranging my setup, so can't do it at the moment

[analog quarry]

@glacial haven thank you brother will investigate

[ashen garnet]

Is there a way to get the Move Value "typing" feature to pull the text from a GDI text source?

Right now it seems like you need to type the string in manually

[glacial pollen]

Quick Question, SInce Twitch Has Allowed People To Stream On Different Platforms Like YouTube, I've Decided To Multi-stream. The Problem Is I Don't Know How To Make It So That Both Of My Chat Go Into One Overlay, Like This Creator I Know. Does Anyone Know How To Do This???

[vagrant minnow]

Well, throwing into one overlay is against the Twitch Multistream rules.

[glacial pollen]

Oh I Didn't See That On There, Thanks Though!

[obsidian spade]

Is there a good custom css website for OBS Discord Streamkit? I'm looking to customise it up a bit for games like Pico Park/Among Us/Mario Party where I can change up certain elements like people's names, avatars, border colours etc. Just looking to having more flexibility with it basically

[vapid charm]

But to answer your question for curiousity sake: fairly certain that is Social_Stream

[green panther]

i cant get my chat overlay to pop over my game :c

iv been struggling for three hours

[vapid charm]

Depends on what you mean chat overlay.

If you mean in OBS you just need to make sure it's higher on the sources list.

If you mean something for you to see while in game that's not something OBS is able to do.

[green panther]

ohhh ew thanyou C:

[minor granite]

hello. Can someone help me? I am trying to do my first even broadcast in OBV and it keeps connecting and reconnecting

[paper jewel]

I have 2 different text sources which I use them for score.

Is there any plugin, that can have a dock which let me to either add (+) or remove (-) the number of the scores?

Instead of having to enter the properties of each text sources to change the text number?

I do not want something advanced, just a dock which I select the text sources and it justs change the text/number of it.

[vapid charm]

this looks like best bet https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/score-board.1448/

[hoary dune]

hello, im using the program deckboard and i want to start streaming and use deckboard with obs but i dont understand how it works. ca someone help me?😅

[leaden cipher]

Hey guys. I work for a company that uses obs to record video inspections. I've written an application with a webpage front end to handle opening an excel file with a list of overlay titles, putting them into an html table and then when clicked, makes them overlay text and filename format match. Makes our lives easier when we're doing 100+ inspections back to back and all we have to do is click to change everything. The reason for the application was the ability to mark titles as completed if a file exists for it already which the webdock can't handle obviously.

I'm wanting to make it a plugin instead because having an extra application and the web dock is annoying and I work with a bunch of boomers that I need to take into account when developing something.

Anyone have any resources for creating a window that can be docked? I'm planning on creating the window with qtdesinger. I'm new to obs and plugin development, I've got the template and everything already set up, just can't find any guidance on specifics.

When I get home I'm just gonna look at the source code of other plugins for guidance but figured I'd ask here if anyone has any ideas.

[mortal harbor]

looking at other examples like the source dock plugin would be your best next steps if you've already got the plugin template set up. https://github.com/exeldro/obs-source-dock

[leaden cipher]

Ya that was one of the ones on my list. Thanks!

[frozen hollow]

Is there a good 3rd party tool to get paypal notifications? I'm a newer streamer, and just made the jump to OBS studio from Streamlabs and lost the paypal ease. I just want some simple notifications nothing crazy

[hallow vale]

You can probably still use SL's paypal thing and notifications from a browser source you add in OBS

[frozen hollow]

So just copy/paste the SL browser source?

[mortal harbor]

the URL they provide for the source, yes.

[quartz flume]

What are some of the best or top plug ins to use. Thanks !

[spiral ruin]

!plugins
It really depends on what you need them for. Most plugins are there for additional features or controls not currently in the core OBS app.

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio supports a variety of plugins that provide new kinds of sources, filters, and additional features.

• For a list of plugins, see OBS Studio Resources: Plugins
• To learn how to install or remove plugins, see the Plugins Guide
• To see if the plugins you use are available for the latest version of OBS Studio, see the OBS Studio 28 Plugin Compatibility table

[quartz flume]

I am a streamer so whatever to make my life easier tbh !

[spiral ruin]

Take a look at the list and see what would be good for you. A "streamer" can be anyone streaming any content.

[vagrant minnow]

I am a streamer, I use zero plug-ins. 🙂

[quartz flume]

Thanks !

Any line suggestions ?

[spiral ruin]

I have an air freshener plugin under my desk, because my dog lies there when I record, and he farts.

[vagrant minnow]

Sure, blame the dog.

[spiral ruin]

always

[obsidian agate]

Im a streamer, I use 45 plug-ins 🙂

[vagrant minnow]

LOL, from one extreme to the other.

[obsidian agate]

yep, and a whole range of streamers in between

i just love modding in general, so any way I can extend a program beyond the base is always a plus for me

[vagrant minnow]

I thought about so many plug-ins back in the day, but my work/life balance is now in the toilet, so I'm lucky if I get in a stream a month at this point.

[spiral ruin]

modding is fine, used to do that with Android on old phones, until I got tired of custom ROMs.

[karmic talon]

does anyone know how to us 2 virtual camera at the same time in 2 different scenes

[waxen birch]

I'm working at fixing a shader, just need some help defining the min/max values for the sliders. Would this be the right channel to ask?

[spiral ruin]

#stream-setup or the support channel that matches your operating system.

[keen fog]

I can do almost everything I could ever want with aff, ass, kruiz, and ndi

So I guess that makes me an in the middle

[fluid island]

hey anyone familiar with source record I am trying to stream a certain scene while recording another scene

I knew how to do it a year ago but I forgot how to set it up again

[mortal harbor]

i am not really but if you're looking to just output two separate recordings, the vertical canvas plugin works great and is what i have used.

[fluid island]

Im not looking for vertical video

[mortal harbor]

doesn't have to be

[fluid island]

gonna check it out

[fluid island]

this works too thanks

hello I use TDR Nova VSTs for my elgato mic and i recently switched PCs and imported my settings it says its imported but idk where to go for the revert button it mentions here on this popup. if anyone can help i greatly appreicate it

[toxic bough]

hey does anyone know how to use the move transition plugin to make images appear and move based on audio input, ive been messing around trying to figure it out and im at a loss

ive made a little progress, i had to put the image source in a group, but i still cant make it react to the audio source, also the movements arent actually happening it just appears and disappears

[topaz rampart]

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some plugin with some screen processing effects like pixelating, scanlines and screen curviness. Does anyone know some free plugins with such options?

[bleak pewter]

try exeldro's shader filter, it has tons of effects

[topaz rampart]

Thanks! I'll check it out

[sacred sinew]

Hi, starting my journey with making a plugin (auto scene switching based on a game's SDK values). I have started from the obs-plugintemplate and have been following various guides. I have tried to enable Qt and OBS frontend API settings in CMakeLists.txt CMakePresets.json however now the plugin won't build. It's throwing QT-related errors.

        "ENABLE_FRONTEND_API": false,
        "ENABLE_QT": false
      }```

C:\Users\...\OneDrive\projects\code\pluginname\.deps\obs-deps-qt6-2023-11-03-x64\include\QtCore\qnamespace.h(23,11): error C2061: syntax error: identifier 'Qt'

When I disable the addons and it's not bringing in the auto-downloaded QT deps, it doesn't report the errors.

Is this a me thing or a plugin thing?

[pulsar thorn]

i was wondering if there was a good blur filter out there? everyone i use increases my gpu use by 20-30%

[vale vine]

The composite blur plugin works rather well

Using box as the algorithm seems to be fairly light weight

[vapid knot]

unfortunate no one could help with this.

[toxic bough]

does anyone know how to use the move transition plugin well, cause im having a lot of trouble with it

[toxic bough]

finally figured it out help not necessary

[real mountain]

I dont know how to move the open obs onto a different screen after opening can anyone help me?

[obsidian agate]

grab the window from the title bar at the top and drag it over?

[real mountain]

ill try

didnt work

[obsidian agate]

What happens?

[real mountain]

nothing happens

it just stays where it is

oh wait

[obsidian agate]

Well, something happens. When you drag it over, does it snap back? Or does it not drag at all?

[real mountain]

i can press f 11

[obsidian agate]

F11 full screens OBS, which hides the bar

[real mountain]

well thanks for helping

yeah it was full screen i wanted it not full screen

[vapid knot]

anyoneeeee here can help???

or at least point me to another server that can help idk where else to go for this

[fossil wyvern]

probably on the TDR nova support?

[vapid knot]

is there a channel here for that?

or i have to find their server i guess thanks

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, this server is for obs

[mortal harbor]

how do i get hyper from my phone to work with obs on my laptop

[grizzled gyro]

Does anyone know a fix for the background remover not showing the option to pick a background color?

[fossil wyvern]

did you choose "custom"?

[grizzled gyro]

I don't see that option anywhere

[fossil wyvern]

gib screenshot of it?

[grizzled gyro]

I found where it says they replaced that with the transparency instead so you can use media sources instead, but I'm not finding how to do that either! Let me take one for ya!

[fossil wyvern]

if you need to remove a specific color, use the chroma/color key filetr instead

[grizzled gyro]

What if I want to change the background to a media source?

I was copying videos of how to do this, but they all have options to do the color as a green background & use that as a "green screen" to then put a source over (essentially showing just your webcam view of yourself & the source as the background)

[ancient oxide]

Hello,I am trying to capture the screen of the game ''roblox'' but it shows me this red dot

[oblique yew]

Due to a change in the way Roblox works, OBS Studio's Game Capture source is unable to capture it. As a workaround, please use Window Capture instead:

1. add a new Window Capture source
2. select Roblox from the window list
3. change the Capture Method to "Windows 10"

On Windows 10, you will see a yellow border around the game which cannot be disabled. This is not visible in your stream and can be ignored (use the `!yellow` command for more info).

[polar parcel]

hey anyone know how to setup an overlay up properly in obs

own3ed changed there stuff since i last used it

@lament nova

[cyan peak]

do not ping people you weren't already talking to for help, please use the designated channels available and try to have some patience. in this case perhaps you're looking for #stream-setup or something.

[polar parcel]

i dont see stream setup

also didnt know you where a moderator

[cyan peak]

let me correct that to say "do not ping people you weren't already talking to"

if you cannot see the channels then it's possible you accidentally disabled it in the "Channels & Roles" section for "I want to hang out with the community". otherwise please use #windows-support for example

[edgy fable]

in this case, the missing category isn't selected in the channels and roles section

[obsidian agate]

You can also just click the channel link that Lain posted in their message

[sterile valley]

is there a way to make obs make a sound when you clip replay buffer?
im now using it for val and its weird switching from medal that makes a sound
and obs doesnt lol
just reassurnce that it actually clipped T-T\

[knotty sage]

Hello

Please how can I use Obs studio to do dis verification?

[vagrant minnow]

Do what?

[vagrant minnow]

What?

[cursive flicker]

nothing

[vagrant minnow]

Then why post it?

[cursive flicker]

idk

why are you a patron

[vagrant minnow]

What are you trying to do with OBS?

[vagrant minnow]

Why, or how?

[cursive flicker]

why

why

why

[knotty sage]

I want to do a verification

Can you come to my dm ?

[vagrant minnow]

What verification?

[knotty sage]

Telus

You know Telus ?

[vagrant minnow]

The cable company?

[cursive flicker]

...

yea i think soo

[vagrant minnow]

Because I want to support OBS.

[knotty sage]

Not sure

It’s an IT company

[vagrant minnow]

What kind of verification are you trying to do?

[knotty sage]

Live selfie

Verification

You don’t mind if I private message you?

[vagrant minnow]

All support is done through the server.

[knotty sage]

Okay

So are you customer support?

[vagrant minnow]

And just going to say this doesn't sound legal. <@&715347355565817879>

All support is done by volunteers, but no, I do not represent the OBS project, and all opinions are my own.

[knotty sage]

I get it now

My bad

[hard jay]

@knotty sage There is nothing associated with the OBS project that requires any kind of verification.

@cursive flicker Please stop posting nonsense.

[cursive flicker]

...

i reported

she

[knotty sage]

I am not trying to verify OBS studio okay. I was asked to do a selfie verification with a company I am trying to start working with

So I want to know if I can use OBS studio to do so

[hard jay]

OBS Studio is a streaming and recording application, not webconferencing software.

So, no, that's not really what OBS is used for.

[knotty sage]

Oh

Alright

Appreciate

[open terrace]

this dude is smart

[bold basin]

Greetings. I am using obs-midi-mg. I cannot get toggle function to work correctly. It plays video and immediately stops. Doesnt work for show/hide camera either.. Any suggestions?

[red pasture]

Hey, is there any nice way getting the camera of another obs to another obs?

So we have 2 Streamers and want both cameras to be in both streamers obs even if they are remote

[bold basin]

Try NDI

[whole karma]

VDO Ninja. Very nice and simple to use.

[red pasture]

Is there any latency?

[whole karma]

There will always be some, whatever you use . There’s a link on the website to a YouTube video showing the creator chatting across continents and it’s perfectly fine imo. It’s free and there is no installation required so I recommend just giving it a go.

[harsh mural]

We recently made changes to our setup and finally got NDI to work for us again. The last issue were having with it is the sending computer has to pull up NDI tools to send on the right feed every time. Is there a way to save the proper setting?

[red pasture]

So Do you think you would recognize a latency while being in a voice call?

[red pasture]

Or I am doing it with a Discord Video call

It is really Important that it works well, i dont want 60k Viewers to experience a bad Stream Quality

[whole karma]

Did you check out the website and the video that is linked there? It is self-described as "ultra-low latency" and they are talking completely naturally in my opinion. When I have used it I have not experienced anything that I would describe as bad.

[whole karma]

https://vdo.ninja/

They mention in the video 100 to 200ms latency from Germany to Canada

[red pasture]

Okay So does the VDO publish also the Audio of the other users mic even if it is not the cam mic?

[spiral ruin]

The vdo broadcast from the other user will use whatever audio device they configure in the vdo setup.

[red pasture]

So i wouldnt even need discord as Audio voice call?

Everything is then in vdo

[spiral ruin]

depends on your context, but yes

[graceful robin]

Can anyone explain this error upon merging to master on a new plugin repo?

https://github.com/marktheminer/text-freetype2-mustache/actions/runs/7951581363

Prepare all required actions
Error: The template is not valid. marktheminer/text-freetype2-mustache/.github/workflows/build-project.yaml@989e936592215fe1b3b5e4f3492e62d913ff9c5f (Line: 147, Col: 21): Error reading JToken from JsonReader. Path '', line 0, position 0.

It built just fine before merging, and those files were setup by the plugin template. It may be related to code signing which I haven't setup as I'm not sure if I care or want to pay apple to package a free plugin. Is code signing required?

[hard jay]

For macOS, the short answer is yes.

You can self-sign though, iirc.

But I'm not 100% on how exactly it all works, I just recall that most things don't even try to run without signatures on newer macOS versions.

poking @rancid fossil to correct me here, I'm sure I'm slightly incorrect.

But this is more his wheelhouse, heh

[rancid fossil]

code signing is mandatory on macOS, though you can sign with an ad-hoc profile (just passing a dash as the identifier) though users will probably need to manually de-quarantine or overwrite the ad-hoc signature locally after downloading to use the plugin

that specific error is due to a JSON expression failing because the string wasn't set by the codesigning setup step (because some repo secret wasn't set)

[graceful robin]

where would i set that identifier as a dash? in buildspec or in a secret in my github account?

[digital arch]

Hey does anyone knows of any website that allows you to stream without registration something similar to what vdo.ninja does but for streaming

[spiral ruin]

Well, you could host it yourself, using vdo.ninja and a broadcast room. Then you share the link with the people you want to watch it.

Or host it on Discord, as you are already here.

[digital arch]

I mean, yes of course but i'm having issues with virtualcam lagging my video to the point where viewers do not understand anything of what i say

and yes i know i could avoid using virtualcam and instead choose to share the window, but i'm looking for solutions to not sacrifice the ability to change scene and apply filters to the sources i use

[hallow vale]

Hit a support channel for your OS to get help with the lag

[digital arch]

already did, but we were unable to find the cause

[hallow vale]

Which channel? I'm on mobile and can only search user messages in one channel at a time (thx discord)

[digital arch]

#linux-support

[hallow vale]

Thx. I don't think I would be able to see anything others didn't, but I like to read along in there

[graceful robin]

It looks like maybe it is free?

HI OBS STUDIO I'M JAMEEL PERKINS ASKING HOW TO DO CO-STREAMING ON OBS STUDIO PLEASE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION ?

[orchid ingot]

"required role: account holder" is the tip off here that it's paid

to sign ad-hoc, you can run the apple codesign utility with a nil - identity as pat said. this doesn't require an account; it doesn't in fact even require macOS

https://github.com/indygreg/apple-platform-rs i think this is a fairly "popular" agnostic rust implementation that works

this should be a pretty straightforward invocation of rcodesign sign "$your_directory", or codesign --deep -s - "$your_directory" if you're using the official apple utility. if you need particular entitlements, which you probably won't for this plugin, you can specify those with an xml file (or maybe within the command itself, never tried that though)

[late trench]

I do use advance scene switcher but I got Issue Idk where it runs ! and I would like to make the script run only after the timer

becasue I've got things to save in txt file So I must know the working directory

it showing it doesnt saving anything atm

this is what I got in the log Idk if the script even running or not

actually this what I got when I tried to simulate what happens in the pluing

[fossil wyvern]

well, looks like you're not running the script correctly?

you probably shouldn't be running it from the python folder

because it's looking for files, which, obviously aren't there

which means, in adv-ss, set the working directory to the folder the script is in

[whole karma]

There should be a “general” search box at the top of the left hand panel in mobile discord. This is a screenshot from mine.

[vale vine]

You can also delete that auto populated part and then do the from:user ID to see all

[ripe sphinx]

How to get the video frame data in Obs python script?
I used obs_add_raw_video_callback method successfully in a C program,
but when I used obspython's obs_add_raw_video_callback method it kept indicating that parameter 2 was incorrect,
which is my program and error log. Can someone give me some help? #scripting

[hallow vale]

Oh, thank you! It didn't autosuggest people so I assumed it wouldn't. I could do the user number ID copy then, I think

[hallow vale]

Mine doesn't have it as deleteable, oddly. But I have another way now, so all good.

I would give my left leg* for a search for user messages by touching their pfp or name anywhere in chat tho!

*It's okay it's my bad leg

[limber parcel]

hello, i am new to obs and have a few questions. is this where i ask?

[hard jay]

either #stream-setup or one of the support ch annels.

[whole karma]

once you click the Search, there should be a little filter icon to the right, then there's a "from" option there that should auto suggest. I'm on PC at the moment so can't screen shot it XD (edit: I just saw your screenshot above, the icon is on the right there)

[hallow vale]

Got it, thanks again!!

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio supports a variety of plugins that provide new kinds of sources, filters, and additional features.

• For a list of plugins, see OBS Studio Resources: Plugins
• To learn how to install or remove plugins, see the Plugins Guide
• To see if the plugins you use are available for the latest version of OBS Studio, see the OBS Studio 28 Plugin Compatibility table

[hard jay]

Can you screenshot the obs-studio folder and the files in it?

OBS studio can't really function without that directory, even without third-party plugins installed so you might not be looking in the correct place.

That's appdata, not program files.

[graceful robin]

Thanks, I tried it, but this was the result:

% codesign --deep -s - `pwd`
/tmp/text-freetype2-mustache: bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable

I also tried exporting a self signed certificate that I created in Keychain and then setting these up

But, I think it wants the first two set too as it still failed in the same manner and I don't know what those should be set to with this method, or with the codesign or apple-platform-rs tools.

I think this would be a great place for a step by step how to guide. I'm going to google for some, but I think this would be a great thing to document within the OBS dev docs.

[graceful robin]

I tried this just now

and that gave me a cert and private key, but I'm not sure if that helps me get to

or not

Sorry, I'm totally new to signed apps and don't really know what I'm doing here. 🙂

[orchid ingot]

in my initial reply i didn't realize you were building via the official template. i don't know exactly how to set up ad-hoc signing when building via that template, i would need to go read that and figure it out. if rcodesign gave you a p12 file and it was generated with a password, then it should be fairly straightforward to add those as repository secrets as the docs suggest

i would expect that not setting the identity secrets is acceptable, but i don't know how the scripts are set up

[graceful robin]

This way did get me a p12 file and I gave it a password. Is there more to it @rancid fossil ?

[graceful robin]

that got me past it! is that something that should be documented in the template readme @rancid fossil ? still gotta see if i can install the bundle and what the user experience.

had to go through that

[tall goblet]

Hey yall, newly trying to connect to obs websockets and having some trouble. I tried looking through docs for examples but was really struggling, hoping someone can point me towards what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using typescript for reference.

So in OBS under the webscoket server settings, I enable the websocket server, and I disabled the authentication (this is just for me on a local host program, so I figure I don't need it?)

And then I have

const obsWebSocket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:4455');
obsWebSocket.on('open', function open() {
    console.log('Connected to OBS WebSocket');

});
obsWebSocket.onerror = (error) => console.log("WebSocket error:", error);
obsWebSocket.on('message', function message(data) {
    console.log('Received OBS:', JSON.parse(data.toString()));

});

and I get the "Connected to OBS WebSocket" but it doesnt actually show up in the connected sessions.
For some reason it connected the first time, but every time after it doesnt. I don't get any errors, I get one message of { d: { obsWebSocketVersion: '5.2.2', rpcVersion: 1 }, op: 0 } which I assume is just some standard info.

Am I missing something? First time trying to use obs websockets, and honestly am a bit new to websockets in general but I've been learning. Also this looked like the best channel to ask in of all the development channels but let me know if I should move.

[mortal harbor]

!websockets someone may answer here, but there is also a dedicated websocket server

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio can be remote controlled via WebSocket and some apps that connect to it. For more information, including a list of compatible apps, see the Remote Control Guide.

To learn more about using the obs-websocket API in your script or application, see the Developer Guide or join the obs-websocket Discord server for support from the developers and community.

[tall goblet]

Ohhh wow okay Ill go there, thanks!

[graceful robin]

tried a few other plugins on mac and this seems to be pretty standard, so probably folks are used to iit

[graceful robin]

I see my artifacts on my action run

but not on my release page

is that something I have to configure in github?

[hard jay]

It should as part of creating a release tag, afaik.

link your repo?

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate/blob/master/.github/workflows/push.yaml this is the workflow that would put the artifacts on the release

I don't recall if it needs specific massaging to work

[graceful robin]

https://github.com/marktheminer/text-freetype2-mustache

maybe i shouldn't have the v based on that regex

[hard jay]

yeah the checking release tag part just skipped the rest of the create release workflow: https://github.com/marktheminer/text-freetype2-mustache/actions/runs/7963981415/job/21740690679

I'm not intimately familiar with what specifically would cause that to fail, though.

Probably another wait for Pat or Ryan to look thing, heh

[graceful robin]

Thanks! I bet that is it, building again now https://github.com/marktheminer/text-freetype2-mustache/actions/runs/7964093090

[hard jay]

yup, worked that time looks like :)

[graceful robin]

yep! thanks again!

just gotta wait for approval now!

[hard jay]

Didn't you already submit this one?

oh you did gdi

[graceful robin]

yeah, and then someone asked for linux/mac 🙂

[sleek lynx]

I have a browser source, plays memes basically, im trying to duck my music whenever one of them play with adv-ss, but cant think of a good condition to use since its always visable, tried audio/output vol anything over 0%, but doesnt seem to trigger the macro

[mortal harbor]

you would normally just use a compressor and sidechain the audio.

[obsidian agate]

^

[mortal harbor]

sidechain = 1 volume goes up the other goes down, for most purposes.

[sleek lynx]

i dont know what that means(how to do it), but im a dummy and the macro was disabled/unchecked

[obsidian agate]

I use this for all of my audio ducking, no Advanced Scene Switcher required

https://obsproject.com/kb/compressor-filter

add the filter to the audio that you want to get ducked

in its dropdown menu, select the source you want to cause the ducking

if you need more, add an additional filter. (though it would be great if it supported multi-source ducking)

[sleek lynx]

ah brilliant, ill check that out

[sleek lynx]

how come when i use source mirror or source clone, i click audio, i hear audio, but like the audio mixer doesnt detect audio

also cant control audio level

[mortal harbor]

you would need to elaborate. i have added a media source, used source clone to make another, and all is working fine

[sleek lynx]

hmm

the idea was to clone a scene, so everything would play through the clone, because I cant add a scene/group to adv-ss audio condition. but for me nothing plays through clone, they just pop in to the mixer on their own if possible, the browser source one doesnt show in mixer even though i selected control audio with obs... i dunno whats up

i know it definitely doesn't work like yours... unfortunately

[obsidian agate]

the scene itself isnt generating sounds, its the sources themselves. So the Source Clone / Source Mirror are unable to capture that audio

[sleek lynx]

works with just a single source, so its just obs being smarter then my work around

[obsidian agate]

they (Mirror/Clone) can only capture the audio from a source that generates audio

[mortal harbor]

yes if you're expecting the audio from a scene to merge as one master mix that displays for the source clone entry in the audio mixer, it does not work that way.

[queen sierra]

Anyone familiar with Source Record, can you tell me if its possible to get the audio to record at something OTHER than 128kbps?

[gray raven]

hi! does anyone have any ideas why OBS teleport is not working? for information, i have a macbook pro that i'm running obs to record its screen, and i have turned teleport on. on my windows pc i have a source that i am searching for the mac teleport send with, but it says it can't find anything. they're both connected to the same wifi networks, while the pc is also connected via ethernet AND wifi, and i've tried switching off ethernet to see if it would find the mac display then, but it still didn't

[glacial haven]

apart from using Wifi for something like teleport being a bad idea, in the majority of cases it's a firewall blocking it - to find out whether that's the case for you, temporarily disable them on both the mac and the PC, restart OBS on both sides and check again - if it's then working you know you gotta look into firewall config

if it's not that, another option would be that your router is configured to not let Wifi clients see each other - this would often go unnoticed, because you usually do syncing stuff or filesharing through the internet using cloud services, so you'd never notice they cannot actually connect to each other locally

[gray raven]

do you have any alternatives besides using a capture card?

thanks for the advice btw

i'll let you know if it works

[glacial haven]

everything that means getting a cable between them is better, meaning a capture card with USB and HDMI connections, or also getting an ethernet connection for the mac

[mild yacht]

yorvex can u check dms

[glacial haven]

it's not that Wifi can't work, but it's very error prone and either needs luck or a lot of knowledge in configuring network and wifi stuff to be stable enough for video/audio feeds like teleport

[mild yacht]

@glacial haven

[glacial haven]

nah, sorry, I don't respond to DMs from here

Hey can anyone help, not sure why im dropping frames while streaming cod. how can I add the log files?

[oblique yew]

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file from a fresh launch of OBS Studio containing an output session. Follow these instructions to upload a clean log file:

1. Restart OBS Studio first!
2. Start your stream/recording replicating any issues (meaning having any games/apps open and captured, etc.)
3. Stop your stream/recording after 30 seconds or after the issue has occurred
4. Click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File
5. Paste the URL into this Discord channel

yeah... you should be in #windows-support too. Start by disabling dynamic bitrate. Then restart OBS and post a new log after streaming and replicating the issue.

[gray raven]

i messed with the firewall settings on both computers and by turning off the public network firewall on my windows pc it started showing the mac send on windows obs, so i selected it, but it still doesn't show the screen

what should i try next?

[glacial haven]

if you scroll up a bit you can see the bot instructions on how to upload a log from OBS. it would be good if you could produce the situation again where you see something in the preview on the sender OBS, selected the teleport feed on the receiver OBS in a teleport source and click OK, and then when instead of showing what is on the preview of the sender OBS you only get a blank/black feed you follow the instructions to upload a log of each OBS and post them here - make sure to clearly state what is the sender log and what the receiver log

[arctic kestrel]

anyone know how to add delay to stream?

[restive nacelle]

is there a plugin that automaticly searches for files that are missing and uses them? (i did google search but couldnt find anything)

[hard jay]

There's already a built-in missing files dialog in OBS.

[restive nacelle]

ok

but

[glacial haven]

sounds like a question more appropriate for a support channel, because you don't need plugin functionality for this, unless you want a dynamic delay for something like instant slow-mo effects (for that there would be exeldro's dynamic delay plugin).

in OBS itself check the Settings -> Advanced -> Stream Delay section

you can also add delays to individual sources by opening the filters of the source and either adding a "Render Delay" (Effect Filters section) or a "Video Delay (Async)" (Audio/Video Filters section) to the source. for audio sources you can use the Sync Offset setting under advanced audio properties

but yeah, if it's just about delaying the stream to prevent sniping e.g. for competitive gameplay, the most simple and standard way would be the stream delay in advanced settings

[cedar stone]

hi i was wondering if there was a plugin that will automatically speed up the video and reduce stream delay when having preserve cutoff point on . lets say i disconnected and the delay is now 60 second so i can make it 1.2x faster so that it slowly reaches 0 second delay again.

[stiff zodiac]

Hello, I was asked to move my issue here...
I´m at my wit's end, I don´t know how to fix this issue. I was working on improving my camera and I wanted to use filter Move (this one: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move.913/ ) - so I downloaded the installing file for Windows and for a while, it worked well, I was even able to use hotkeys so my camera was able to do the trick. But it took probably 15 minutes and the whole app started crashing immediately after I tried to adjust the camera - or click on the scene I wanted to use.

Not sure if this makes sense for anyone here... ?

[vague wigeon]

I was told to move my question to this channel:

Hey there, really hoping someone can help me cause I am pulling my hair out and have tried everything.

I am an content creator trying to record some Vail (VR game) gameplay.

Vail does not run well on steamVR, so I am using virtual desktop and VDXR, however that breaks my OpenVR capture plugin.

There appears to only be one other option: openXR Mirror by Jabbah

I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I have tried everything. I unblocked Powershell, confirmed that string was installed correctly in registry editor, tried with DX11, DX12, Oculus link, installed previous version, everything I could find online or think of.

Posting here is my last ditch effort hoping that someone out there has experience with this plugin.

Also, I should add that the main issue here's and reason I don't just record the computer screen is because the FOV is not wide enough.

[pure quail]

hi everyone , anyone know where i can find a one piece ( anime ) overlay stream package for obs ?

[gray raven]

alr thanks anyways but i got it to work, it just had a horrible delay. luckily my friend showed me vdo.ninja website you guys should recommend that for mirroring screens cross platform if someone doesn't have cords or capture cards available as an alternative

[craggy sand]

Hi everyone anyone have a link or instruction on how to stream on tik and twitch the same time ? Thank you

[glacial haven]

yeah, as I said, Wifi is just not a good idea for this, the log would have probably shown just that. vdo.ninja is usually something I only think of when streaming over the internet and mixing video feeds of several people together, but you're right, that at the same time means it's also a good compromise in other bandwidth limited scenarios like on Wifi - cranking down the quality slider in teleport might have also worked, but with worse quality than vdo.ninja I'd suspect

I think the reason why it's not recommended in local scenarios is that usually you would locally stream to move encoding load from a gaming PC to the streaming PC - but now when you use vdo.ninja on the gaming PC, it basically means encoding load all over again, making the whole 2 PC setup pointless

https://docs.vdo.ninja/guides/hardware-accelerated-video-encoding reading that they appear to even struggle with HW acceleration it might be even a lot worse than just streaming from the gaming PC using NVENC or AMF

so you complicate your setup, increase the encoding load on the sender PC and lose quality - and there's no gain whatsoever

it's just all downsides

[analog quarry]

Was having issues with delay between gaming and streaming pc using Teleport. Changing the quality on obs teleport from max (90) to about 75 has seemed to help it not have a delay between two pcs (gaming and streaming), but I've noticed that by about the 2.5h mark the A/V have a noticeable delay. They may always have a delay from the start that just accelerates over time. What can I do to fix this? Is it possibly because I put teleport filters on my desktop audio and mic to make separate sources on the streaming pc?

[obsidian agate]

im gonna use a cliche support suggestion, but turn it off and on again. I do that with the Audio Monitor plugin to reset the delay that builds up with that.

when you take a break, just turn the teleport feed off then back on, and see if that resets the latency

[quasi yew]

Can someone DM me to help me with setting up an instant replay with stream elements

[spiral ruin]

!replaybuffer
this guide will help you get started with the replay buffer. If you need further assistance, head to a support channel. All support is done in text channels, nothing is done by dm.

[oblique yew]

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.

[analog quarry]

I was wondering how i could reset it without turning stream on and off, which is especially disruptive on youtube. Will try this although I wish I could find out the root of the problem

[obsidian agate]

you dont have to turn the whole stream off. Just disable and re-enable the Teleport source

[analog quarry]

yea i understand

[plain plover]

does anyone know how to put chat on like my screen without chat seeing it?

[peak vector]

[wraith creek]

hello there o7

does someone use bongobs cat plugin ?

[analog quarry]

@proud relic Not sure if you are active here but I could use some help identifying why my 2 pc setup using teleport has gradually accelerating A/V desync over time.

[proud relic]

how to your determine that sync? via playback of the resulting video or audio monitoring?

[analog quarry]

playback of the resulting video. Tends to be pretty close to perfect in the beginning and then be noticeably about ~200ms off by about the 2.5h mark

also people in chat will tell me once it gets more noticeable. Was more desynced from the beginning early on when i was at 90 quality, has been better initially now that i've moved it to 75-80

[proud relic]

then you may hit a bandwidth/performance bottleneck somewhere. if there is a buffer underrun OBS may decide to resync audio to video resulting in that desync. there is little the plugin can do imo. perhaps you can increase robustness of such situations by adding a video delay filter to the teleport source, but i never tried it. tl;dr is: have a setup which does not have bottlenecks

[analog quarry]

do you think having 400mbps fibre could be too slow to use teleport adequately then?

or rather, do you have suggestions on how I can determine where this bottleneck could be?

[proud relic]

internet speed is not relevant. your LAN speed is. if 90 is not working it sounds like you are trying to use WLAN?

[analog quarry]

both pcs are hardwired to the router

that's what you mean right? i'm not the most knowledgeable

[proud relic]

sounds ok so far. may still be the router. i feel like you have to find out what may be causing it. i have reports from people using it for many hours without this problem.

[analog quarry]

would this be a matter of obs log files? some sort of speed test? Any suggestions would be appreciated for troubleshooting

[proud relic]

monitor the taskmanger's network and cpu usage. cpu usage should have some room left.. network usage should show any bigger gaps. however if there are smaller gaps it may not show there. try to connect both pcs directly without a router

[analog quarry]

okay will try to connect the two pcs directly.

[proud relic]

test with the video delay filter. try with 1000ms for example. it will cost you a second of delay, but see if it helps the desync

[analog quarry]

on my gaming pc i have a teleport audio filter on both my desktop audio and my mic, so that on my streaming pc I can have separate sources for volume control. Maybe a little scuffed.

wondering if this could perhaps be contributing

[proud relic]

well if you try to sync independent teleport streams that will probably never succeed

[analog quarry]

so maybe i'll try to go back to just the single feed of all audio and video as one, and try to find a separate approach for audio level control

[proud relic]

the main use case is to use teleport output for audio and video. this should be in sync. everything else you can tinker around with, but expect things to fall apart.

[analog quarry]

that makes sense

thanks for your time

[ember jungle]

Hey!

What would you guys recommend for a good facecam camera?

This camera would only be used for my facecam infront of a greenscreen of course. 🙂

[spiral ruin]

Do you have an old smart phone? The camera is better than most USB webcams.

[ember jungle]

Oh, i ment like an actual camera.

I dont know why i said "facecam camera" xd

But its going to be used for recording my face

[spiral ruin]

Still doesn't change my advice.
What do you mean when you say "an actual camera"?

[ember jungle]

I am not looking for a USB Webcam.

I am looking for a professional camera.

[vale vine]

This one
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicursaminipro

[spiral ruin]

lol "professional" means you will make money using it.

[spiral ruin]

good choice

[ember jungle]

Yeah, i already make money using my USB-webcam, so ig i will make money with this one aswell

[spiral ruin]

So you mean a mirrorless or DSLR camera? What's your lighting situation like? If this is for green screen use, you will need better, more effective lighting than simply lighting your face.

[ember jungle]

Well basically i got two elgato-keylights over my monitors, thats about it for the lighting

And i am hoping to get a camera for around $300-$800

Anyone know of how to make Source Switcher be a manual process instead of via a timer? Anyone know of how I can combine it with another filter to change the source in the list its on?

I have 3 cameras I would like it to cycle through, but don't want it on a timer. Seems like you can't tell Source Switcher to change sources without having a timer.... Anyone know of another way or plugin to do this?

[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.

[umbral cedar]

anyone know how to install the new 6.5.1 Plugin for Elgato into obs? I cannot seem to find any support on this.

[mortal harbor]

it installs with their streamdeck software, if you install the most recent version of that the plugin is bundled.

[umbral cedar]

i find obs plugins in my elgato folders, but there are no streamdeck plugins in my obs. I have uninstalled and reinstalled elgato twice now.

(apparently the old version was causing my obs to crash)

[mortal harbor]

i understand, but the most recent version of their sotware has been out for a few days and fixes that.

https://www.elgato.com/us/en/s/downloads

[umbral cedar]

yes, I have that link, as I said i have uninstalled and reinstalled it twice. and everyone has said that updating my elgato plugin will stop it from crashing.. and it hasn't.

maybe its the new one thats causing the crashing

[mortal harbor]

sure, send a screenshot from your elato software showing what version you have installed.

[mortal harbor]

okay, if OBS is crashing send a crash log.

[umbral cedar]

ill try and find it again. its hard when i can get to it directly from obs

[mortal harbor]

the streamdeck plugin crash was only occurring when you remove a source.

!crashlog

[oblique yew]

A crash log is required to investigate the cause of your issue. Please upload the last crash log.

1. In OBS, click the Help menu
2. Select Crash Reports, and then Upload Last Crash Report
3. Copy the URL, and paste it to the chat here.

[umbral cedar]

that would be helpful... if OBS wasnt crashign on me.

trying to find the file with the crash logs

[mortal harbor]

!manualcrash what i am saying is that it probably is not the streamdeck plugin crashing then.

[oblique yew]

To find the OBS Studio crash logs, follow these steps:

1. Press WinKey+R to open the Run dialog
2. Type in: %APPDATA%\obs-studio\crashes and press Enter
3. Upload the desired crash log, usually the latest, directly to this Discord channel by dragging and dropping the file into the chat window

[umbral cedar]

this is the last one.. it hasnt been making logs fro the crash since last night

[mortal harbor]

describe "crash", because we are talking about two different things here. if you are no longer seeing a crash log, the issue is not the same.

[umbral cedar]

I open obs.. then obs closes immediatly after opening

[mortal harbor]

you have probably added kick browser docks then, i am guessing?

[umbral cedar]

i did that a month or two ago.

but I do have one

[mortal harbor]

that is your issue then, you can either manually remove them by editing a file or you can install the current beta version of OBS which prevents them from closing OBS.

[umbral cedar]

sure ill give anything a try at this point

[mortal harbor]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/download/30.1.0-beta3/OBS-Studio-30.1-beta3-Full-Installer-x64.exe

[fossil wyvern]

and you restarted obs after putting it there?

[final wind]

yep

i think problem in code or how i build the project

[fossil wyvern]

which libobs did you buld against?

[final wind]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate all in this

[fossil wyvern]

no, not all in this

[final wind]

obs-module.h?

[fossil wyvern]

you need to link libobs

[final wind]

but it is in .deps

if you mean this..

[fossil wyvern]

right, hence, the which one question

update your obs to 30.0.2, check again

[final wind]

29.1.3 doesnt work correctly?(

[fossil wyvern]

since you're building against 30.0.2, test with 30.0.2 first

[final wind]

i'll try!

is it correct?

before this command i used github/scripts/build-macos --config Release

[fossil wyvern]

?

[fossil wyvern]

no, just use the presets

[final wind]

cmake --preset macos?

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[final wind]

but i dont see plugin after this

*.plugin

[fossil wyvern]

what output does it give you?

[final wind]

cmake --preset macos

sorry for spam..

andd i dont see the plugin

[fossil wyvern]

ok, now build it

with cmake --build build_macos

[fossil wyvern]

can you show the whole error?

[final wind]

this is my code

[fossil wyvern]

oh, yeah, you didn't include that

so naturall, it can't find the functions you defined in there

[final wind]

???

which fucntions didnt include

[fossil wyvern]

is that code in another file than plugin-main

[final wind]

i should include in cmakelists? or in plugin-main c

[fossil wyvern]

you need to include it in plugin-main

[final wind]

now i have errors..

[fossil wyvern]

solve them?

[final wind]

???

i dont understand how to create this ui...

[fossil wyvern]

there's no UI to create whatsoever

[final wind]

why not?

[fossil wyvern]

why would there be?

also why are you putting those functions as extern?

[final wind]

because after this i want to create sources and define them how i want

[fossil wyvern]

and none of that requires you creating a UI

[final wind]

speaker/presentation and etc

and after i need to define conditions for transition

on time, on people count

[fossil wyvern]

maybe we can start with "make the plugin compile correctly"?

[final wind]

it is compile it i just use plugin template and in logs i can see plugin loaded succesfully ))))

[fossil wyvern]

ok, good then?

[final wind]

and then i tried to write this code

to create simple ui for creating source

[fossil wyvern]

no, you do not need to create a UI to create a source, it's already there

[final wind]

i know..

[fossil wyvern]

but anyways, if the plugin is loading correctly, then it should be good

which, good, cause I have to go

[final wind]

ohhh

thank you anyway!

[slow tundra]

did anyone manage to figure out whats going on here? Im having exactly the same problem? v 2.10.0 of Move Transition. Basically when i have a PTZ location set, and press play on it, the eye lights up on the action but never turns off, locking up obs as it tries to fire off the ptz command over and over again. a single "add" value sends the add command and shuts off perfectly. but the "settings" option breaks. The frustrating part is, i had this working just fine yesterday, updated Move, and now it doesnt work at all

[weak escarp]

I just made a fix for Move Direct Show Device filter as I got an issue reported on GitHub hours ago you can download the GitHub actions build when logged in to GitHub to test the fix.

hey folks, what's that plugin for saving timestamps in a long recording called? for example i am recording a long video, something goofy happens in the game i am playing, i press a button and obs saves a timestamp relative to the video in a xml file or something like that

[latent kiln]

Hey guys, does anyone know why Facetracker 0.7.1 doesnt work on V29 obs anymore? is there any other way?

Can anyone help?

[spiral ruin]

Maybe because OBS 29 has been replaced with version 30? You should check with the plugin's dev or community for help if it isn't working on an older version of OBS.

[latent kiln]

I reverted from V30 a couple weeks ago because somethings were not working. I guess i should try it again

[latent kiln]

yea couldnt figure it out

Quick Question, How Do You Uninstall RTMP Plugin. The Plugin Where You Can Multistream? Here's My Log Files Just In Case: https://obsproject.com/logs/nRWHUwu8DUBUZTi5

[untold jay]

@glacial pollen If you used the executable installer, you'll find it in the "add or remove programs" menu.

[glacial pollen]

I Deleted The Installer, Is It Possible If I Download A New Installer A Try That Out?

[untold jay]

@glacial pollen You don't need to keep the installer to uninstall. (Also, could you not write in Title Case? It's harder to read.)

[glacial pollen]

my bad im used to that

[glacial pollen]

also how do you uninstall it without the installer

[untold jay]

@glacial pollen Search the start menu for "add or remove programs", obs-multi-rtmp should be there.

[glacial pollen]

in window folders?

[untold jay]

@glacial pollen In the Start menu.

[pulsar thorn]

i was wondering if there was a plugin that plays a noise whenever encoding overload happens?

[hidden shoal]

hello guys I am new to this and I need help with recording stuff on my xbox

any help is welcome

[sleek lynx]

I may have asked this before, I cant remember... but is there a plugin/script or something "out there" that can monitor streamlabs alerts, once SL alerts it'll trigger the same on streamelements? (this is for an integration thats only for SL, and I hate have a SL account for 1 alert)

[obsidian agate]

not that i am aware of, since SL and SE alert browser sources are basically sandboxed away from eachother due to their different domain names and CORS (so you cannot have them communicate with eachother via something like the javascript Broadcast Channel API)

What you could do is create your own alerts if you have the means, and then use something like Streamer.Bot to selectivly use SL and SE's alert messages from their APIs and WebHooks to trigger your own custom alerts

[glacial pollen]

Question, How Do You Setup Source Record To Multistream On Different Platforms?

[spiral ruin]

!multirtmp
Source Record plugin is for sources/scenes as sources to be recorded locally. Not for stream output. You need a different plugin for that.

[oblique yew]

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

[glacial pollen]

Oh, is there any plugin that lets you stream on any platform at the same time like YouTube and Twitch, while having different alerts for different platforms

[spiral ruin]

I just linked the plugin for multistreaming. As for the alerts, you will have whatever alerts you configure to play in OBS. If you need separate streams with separate alerts for each service, you will need to run a separate instance of OBS, either on the same pc (your performance will vary) or on two different PCs.

[glacial pollen]

Alright Thanks!

[vale vine]

Aitum vertical canvas can assist in not running a full fledged "2nd instance"

And it get do both vertical and horizontal, all depends on how you set it up

[whole talon]

My epoccam wont work simultaneously with the vertical screen and normal screen at the same time, why is that?

[final wind]

i should buy subscription for 99$ to build correctly obs plugins...?

[raw owl]

hello I would like to schedule a recording on obs but I can't find a specific time for the recording to start and the same for it to stop I installed advanced scene switcher but after that I am lost

[desert finch]

does anyone know how to add instant replay on mac?

[spiral ruin]

have you checked in #macos-support ?

[desert finch]

yes, no one responded

[spiral ruin]

Still probably the best channel for support. Just have to be patient as they are less mac users than windows users. And those mac users knowledgeable on replay buffer may not be online right now. I assume it would be the same as on Windows, but I know there are a couple differences in things the Mac version of OBS can't do or must be configured differently.

[desert finch]

ok also

I have a long text that i put a scroll on and the text just dissapears

[spiral ruin]

I thought your issue was adding instant replay.

[desert finch]

its both

[spiral ruin]

This channel is for plugin development and sort of support for them. Unless these issues are directly related to an OBS plugin you are using, then the best place for support is #macos-support

hi im having audio issues between my capture card, xbox and laptop

anyone able to help me?

[sleek lynx]

Any idea what I would have to change in RANDOM STINGER VIDEO lua script to make it see Aitums transition list instead of OBS's? I asked in the forum, but dont look like hes been active in a long time.

[south stratus]

how do i download the plugin? for obs for the overlays

[crisp cedar]

hi, using some plugins that allow me to use midi control to switch scenes and stuff, i cannot achieve to use my minilab mk2 with some plugins

i'm using obs-midi-mg rn but i'm clueless

[raw owl]

hello do you have a plugin or a script to schedule a recording

[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.

[raw owl]

and if anyone can help me after configuring it

[fossil wyvern]

what are you having issues with?

[raw owl]

I can't create/schedule a recording for example for Friday 4 p.m. and for it to stop at 6 p.m. for example

[fossil wyvern]

how did you set it up?

[raw owl]

what ?

[fossil wyvern]

how did you set up advanced scene switcher?

[random bolt]

is there anyone that could help me with source record plugin?

[raw owl]

I installed it advanced but after that I don't know how to program the recording, I have to go to date or timer

[fossil wyvern]

use date

[raw owl]

ok but then you have to make a macro to start the recording and another macro to stop it?

[fossil wyvern]

yes

or, you could use a wait condition inbetween

[raw owl]

that's to say ?

[fossil wyvern]

that's to say, in the actions of the macro, put a "wait" inbetween the "start recording" and "stop recording"

[raw owl]

ok

[raw owl]

so if I understood correctly macro 1 "start recording" and macro 2 "stop recording"?

[fossil wyvern]

that's one way to do it yes

the other is to use a wait action

[raw owl]

but on the second macro the recording cannot be stopped

[fossil wyvern]

why?

[raw owl]

I don't know I put to test that it stops at 1:57 p.m. French time and it doesn't know how to stop after that hour I put 1:57:00 p.m. and in recording action "stop recording"

[fossil wyvern]

show me how you set it up

[raw owl]

whait

[fossil wyvern]

that starts the recording

[raw owl]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

ok, and that didn't work?

[raw owl]

and macro 2 doesn't stop so I don't understand

start yes but not stop

[fossil wyvern]

!log
make it happen again, then send a log

Anyone in here an NDI wizard? I’m trying to set up a stream (locally on the network) using NDI.

Goal is to use one laptop with OBS and a webcam, send video over network to another computer running NDI monitor to display on a screen.

It’s the simplest way I can think to accomplish the goal without buying dedicated encode/decode boxes.

I installed NDI tools on both laptops, both are on the same network, but neither one sees the other’s NDI sources.

I’m at a loss and need some help, please and thanks! 🙏

I’ve got as far as OBS being available on machine one, but machine two can’t see machine one’s NDI sources.

Could really use some help here. I’m feeling like I’m missing something.

[oblique yew]

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

[sand verge]

Oh my lord.. I just want to talk to a human. Forget it.

[open zinc]

@sand verge try on youtube...

[sand verge]

If I wanted to watch a 15 minute video to find the 5 seconds of info I wouldn’t have asked.. forget it.

Why is everyone so anti helping someone? It’s discouraging and frustrating.

[mortal harbor]

what do you mean? someone has linked you to the obs-ndi discord considering you were asking for an "NDI wizard"

you are in a server which is entirely volunteer based so the premise that everyone is "so anti helping someone" doesn't really fit.

[sand verge]

Man all I’m asking for is someone who knows how the heck to set it up to explain it. I don’t see any videos showing what I want to do and frankly I’d rather read an article but none exist.

Figured I’d ask a human for some assistance and instead I get “go Google it” which is just.. frustrating. Yeah I get its volunteer. I’m just asking if anyone here knows how it works because I’m obviously missing something and I can’t seem to find the info I want anywhere else.

But yep I’m the bad guy 😅

Sorry for being frustrated that people are so willing to push you aside instead of actually assist.

[mortal harbor]

you were linked to an entire discord devoted to what you are asking about, the next step would be to ask there.

[sand verge]

By a bot, my assumption is more bots.

[lament lark]

"Here is a link to the NDI Discord where they know all about NDI specifically and can probably help you with your NDI issue better than we can" isn't really Google It, let's be honest

The bot is providing information that a human triggered, because who wants to type all of that 100 times a day

[sand verge]

Sorry I wanted a little human touch ig

Clearly I’m the wrong one

My bad

[lament lark]

[oblique yew]

[lament lark]

Unless you're me and forget the triggers

[vale vine]

We also have a command for that, and turns out it's warchamps fault

Not yours

[sand verge]

I’m not trying to press blame.. I’m just frustrated and very much need help with NDI. It’s nothing to do with the plugin or OBS.

[lament lark]

All good

[vale vine]

In the hood

[fervent marsh]

I kinda wonder if it was a mistake to have the bot delete the triggering command from chat after it posts a response, since that hides the only indication that there was an actual human triggering a response instead of just some automated thing. (Would most people notice? Dunno. But one clue is still larger than zero clues)

[lament lark]

I think it's a net benefit for people who may want to throw out some simple info without volunteering to have a conversation about it

[vale vine]

That

[lament lark]

Most people who get frustrated by not talking to a real person are actually just frustrated about their issue and it's easy enough to clear up in those rare instances

[vale vine]

I don't always wanna go deep on a mine craft assist but if I can link the guide with minimal commitment it's still helpful

[fervent marsh]

Yeah, I realize. I'm... more than familiar with that problem. And tbh, most people that bitch about bots giving answers are probably gonna bitch about a human trggering a bot to give answers (because somehow someone manually typing out an answer over and over again is... better?). But still. I dunno. Not really a good solution.

[sand verge]

Even just a “a human saw your message and may not have the answer but thought you might be able to find it here” would be great.

And for what it’s worth, the NDI discord isn’t much help either.

Probably going to just have to abandon it, I genuinely can’t seem to figure this out.

[spiral ruin]

Typically, when a networking solution like NDI doesn't work, it's a firewall or some related network settings that prevent NDI stream from connecting between the desired PCs. And troubleshooting network issues is something the average OBS user doesn't have a lot of experience in. And it can take a lot of time and Q/A between the volunteer and you trying to get to the bottom of the situation. And, it requires someone with experience and a willingness to help to be online when you post about your issue. That's why the regular helpers here will link the bot replies that have the automated (and OBS-approved) information. It's a starting place for you to narrow down what specific question or issue you can ask about here.

So... How far do you get in the setup? Do you encounter any errors from NDI when you are sending a stream or connecting between PCs?

[sand verge]

As far as I was able to get was installation of the Core Suite on both machines. I’ve got OBS sending the NDI output into NDI Router, and that sends OBS source to the Destination 1 slot. I can view the test footage at any point in that chain just fine, however, when I open NDI Monitor on the second machine I’m not seeing anything other than the default local inputs.

Really all I’m after is.. am I missing a step somewhere or is this likely just the firewall blocking the apps/traffic. If it’s the later then I just need to get my boss to open up the right ports.

I’m not even able to get that far - I haven’t found any intuitive guides that just explain how to view a source on another machine. That’s all I want to do.

[spiral ruin]

likely firewall first, yes check that. I'm not sure of "intuitive guides" that can help with that. Personally, I use the NDI output directly from the Suite on the source pc, I don't run OBS on that PC just to send it to another.

[sand verge]

Only reason I’m using OBS is they’ll want a couple of graphics, and I had OBS handy to test with.

Managed to figure out that I do in fact need bridge running on both machines regardless of them being on the same LAN. That was the piece I was missing :)

[bold thunder]

Hi, you know how i can resolve this problem?
"These plugins could not be loaded: obs-virtualput
Please update or remove these plugins"

[fossil wyvern]

you're holding an outdated version of it, plus you probnably don'tneed it anymore, virtual cam is builtin in obs now

[bold thunder]

i have the 30.0.2 version and i dont see virtual cam in tools

[fossil wyvern]

it's not in tools

it's in the controls dock

[bold thunder]

my friends see this in tools

[bold thunder]

where is that?

[fossil wyvern]

[fossil wyvern]

why?

[bold thunder]

i need it

[bold thunder]

yes but its not with the plugin

[fossil wyvern]

why is the builtin one not working?

[bold thunder]

I don't know why I don't see it in tools

[fossil wyvern]

because it is not in tools

[bold thunder]

if we download the plugin, its in tools

[fossil wyvern]

ok, but why do you need the plugin, rather than just using the builtin one?

[fossil wyvern]

yes, I am aware

why do you want the plugin

[bold thunder]

fir what i do its not work with the builtin one, i need the plugin

for bluestack

[fossil wyvern]

so we circle back to my original question : what are you doing that doesn't work with the builtin

[bold thunder]

for bluestack, you need to install the plugin

[fossil wyvern]

why?

have you tried using the builtin?

[bold thunder]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

and what doesn't work exactly?

[bold thunder]

yes

virtual cam doesnt work

[fossil wyvern]

what doesn't work

[bold thunder]

i just need help for install plugin

[fossil wyvern]

what doesn't work

precisely

[bold thunder]

You can see on internet, its not working with Bluestack, need to install plugin

[bold thunder]

and i dont know why it doesn't work when u install plugin

all the time error

[fossil wyvern]

because the plugin is outdated

[fossil wyvern]

if you try using it there : https://webcamtests.com/
does it work

[bold thunder]

virtual cam 2.0.5 is outdated?

[bold thunder]

okay thanks

[bold thunder]

yes work

[fossil wyvern]

what's the name of the camera you're using there?

[bold thunder]

obs

[fossil wyvern]

no it's not

[bold thunder]

?

[fossil wyvern]

it's not named just "obs"

[bold thunder]

OBS 30.0.2

[fossil wyvern]

show me a screenshot?

[bold thunder]

its OBS Virtual cam

[fossil wyvern]

show me a screenshot of the name

[fossil wyvern]

ok, and you confirm this works correctly?

[bold thunder]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

and you're sure that's the exact same name that bluestacks is using?

[bold thunder]

and not working

but i hear, virtual cam plugin is working

2.0.5 version

[fossil wyvern]

once again, this version is outdated and will not work with current obs

[bold thunder]

wiht obs 27.2.4 its workign for my friends

[fossil wyvern]

yes

that's what I'm saying, it will not work with current obs

[bold thunder]

i try with 27.2.4 now

[fossil wyvern]

if you want, but I'd suggest asking bluestacks why the builtin camera doesn't work for them

[bold thunder]

it never works on BS, its for this reason a plugin exist

[fossil wyvern]

no, it's not for this that the plugin was created

and if bluestack accepts the plugin's virtual camera, there's zero reason it couldn't use the builtin one

that's an issue on bluestack's end

[unique willow]

Hello guys! Can OBS choose recording scene ?

work, thanks bro

[fossil wyvern]

just as a head's up, you're running an outdated plugin on an outdated version of obs, so if shit breaks, won't get fixed

[bold thunder]

yes no problem

[tacit nexus]

I am trying to make the output to fit to any active video source on every scene switch. Installed Advanced Scene Switcher and found the right triggers, but can't find an action to resize the output. Any solutions to that?

[median marten]

i'm trying to use source recorder on mac but only the main recording is working not the source recording

[sly sage]

guys i have the voice changer folder ,where do i put it

[hallow vale]

Is it am OBS plugin? Can you link what you downloaded? There are a lot of things called voice changers for OBS

[sly sage]

here?

https://www.igorski.nl/download/homecorrupter

it says a vts thing too

[hallow vale]

If one of the files in the download is an .exe that will install ot and you don't need to place the folder anywhere.

If they are VSTs, search your computer and then unzip them in the Steinberg folder

[sly sage]

https://xferrecords.com/freeware
i instaled this one before, and its not appearing in the filter vst2 plugn

[sly sage]

wut is steinberg folder where is it located normatly

[hallow vale]

Search your PC for it like I said.

[mortal harbor]

%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Steinberg/Shared Components\

[hallow vale]

Check that the plugin is actually a VST2, if it's 3, it doesn't work with OBS

[sly sage]

theres no folder called Steinberg

[hallow vale]

Try copy/pasting the location Mitchell shared in an explorer window

[sly sage]

nvm i think ii accidently found it on C:\Program Files\VstPlugins
ty for the help guys

[worthy crystal]

I can not use the WHIP setting.

pls help me.

[tranquil olive]

Hi ! OBS isn't showing plugin interface of Reaper Plugins (reastream). What can I do?

[random bolt]

Hello, with advanced scene switcher plugin do you know of a way to do the following : if key 1 is pressed then ......
I want it to be key and not a hotkey so that I can for ex press key G on my keyboard and then it does something

[fossil wyvern]

yeah you can select specific keys in the trigger

[mortal harbor]

I you haev one idea for first plan chatbox in OBS?

[mortal harbor]

you are able to select it when adding a VST filter?

[fervent marsh]

Hey @\Tuna (or whoever), what things can have an effect on obs-teleport audio/video sync? I had a situation this past week where I got someone moved over to OBS30+teleport (from a much older NDI-based setup), and when we were doing our testing on it the sync was spot-on out of the box... but two days later when it came live stream time, it was significantly off -- like, on the order of "a couple of seconds" -- right out of the gate. What should I be looking at?

[fossil wyvern]

were you test-streaming during the test?
Because overloaded network bandwidth can deffo cause shenanigans on teleport, esp on audio

[fervent marsh]

We weren't, but I'd be surprised if 6000kbit on an otherwise unloaded gigabit link would actually make a difference.

[fossil wyvern]

fair, but could be worth checking out if you have the time to

[fervent marsh]

What is the actual behavior on an overloaded network (or other resource limitations)? I'd thought that teleport was designed so that it wouldn't get out of sync, generally?

(Also, it was off as soon as we started it (which was a few hours into the stream) rather than slowly getting out of sync or such)

[fossil wyvern]

Generally the behavior on that is stuttering, but I remember a few cases of it desyncing

I think it was with krisirie's stuff, but to be fair his setup is weird

[fervent marsh]

Definitely didn't get any stuttering or other obvious indications of resource limitations. (Sadly, I don't have proper metrics gathering on those particular systems yet ... whups).

Streamer is kind of limited in how much time he's actually at that site outside of streaming hours, and I'm getting ready to be out of town for a few days, so kinda trying to figure out which specific things could potentially cause issues, and specific things we can look at live if it happens next time to get more specific info about what's going on ... at least, if teleport has a way to do that ... so that I can be somewhere other than "hey streamer just live with this for a week"

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, then probs not that, sorry

[tawny grove]

Hello, I need some help with fixing the lag on my obs when I connect my Elgato to my Nintendo Switch & PC. I want to be able to stream the game smoothly and need to figure out this fix. Can someone help me figure out how I can fix this? @here

[round lava]

Hey anyone, I need some help using Advanced Scene Switcher to image recognize. I'm succeeding in a game on detecting these icons, but I'm also getting false positives on the borders of text and I don't know why. does anyone have any ideas on how to improve the recognition (or alter the reference Icon so it's easier to differ from a near matte black)?

[random bolt]

What is it called after if because the only thing I see about keys is the Hotkey one

[mortal harbor]

Any plugins that are better than OBS's application audio capture? My audio keeps getting bugged when I use it

[random bolt]

Wait can advanced scene switcher use image recognition? So can I ex. If there is a scoreboard an a round is won and it updates from round 2 to round 3 it can display a scene?

[proud relic]

First it may depend on how you use it. Assuming just using the output method - on the receiver side audio and video will be interleaved according to their timestamps before handling it to OBS. However there seems to be no strict rule how to achieve sync. So handing it in "close enough" to each other seems to yield in good results usually. However in case of a buffer under-run OBS seems to decide otherwise and may rearrange audio and video. A plugin does not seem to have the ability to know about these things. Perhaps a video delay filter gives you an increased buffer avoiding buffer-underruns and this behavior.. I never figured out a canonical way for a plugin to guarantee sync.

[fervent marsh]

Hrrrm. Frustrating.

Hmmm^2... are those effectively wall-clock timestamps? e.g. could OBS get screwy if the system time on one of the hosts is off? Or just relative to some arbitrary start time for those specific streams?

[proud relic]

Teleport starts from 0 iirc. I learned that the audio behavior is different if you have timestamps close to system clock. It seems to be an undocumented feature. I pulled my hair a couple of times figuring these things out. But it seems there is no guaranteed way to do it (or I haven't understood how). Guess that is also why NDI has trouble in the first place.

[proud relic]

But also make sure you are using output mode of Teleport. Some people seem to transmit audio and video with sperate streams and wondering why it gets out of sync.. And of course, use a dedicated cable directly between the PCs. That should mitigate most network stalls that may occur in some routers.
P.S. Since I have seen your name here a couple of times for quite some time, feel free to ping me

[round lava]

Oh a fellow tournament streamer? Yeah it should be able to do that. Obviously I'm having a little trouble so I can't say for 100%.
What do you stream? Would love to bounce ideas.

[vale vine]

That is a bug in windows itself, which Microsoft has found a solution for, but there is no eta currently on when they will deploy an update with the fix
You can use something like steel series sonar to seperate audio out in the short term

[mortal harbor]

Aah I see, thanks brother. Can you link me anything windows posted about the bug?

[vale vine]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/8064
PKV is a core obs dev

MS hasn't officially commented on the issue but has communicated with the obs dev team working through this issue for over a year

[mortal harbor]

Damn. That sucks

[random bolt]

Yes, I stream valorant tournament's I have round win scenes that pop up with the round number and it would be great to automate it and then like VCT I have all 10 player banners on left and right side and would like to apply grey filter if they die, I do it all manually currently which takes a lot of effort

[round lava]

Gotchaa. Here's the example that showed me that A.S.S. could image recognize https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Activate-overlay-to-hide-parts-of-the-screen

Do you use any streamdeck or bot systems currently? I have a digital "streamdeck" to jump scenes and reset scores in obs using Streamer.bot

(looks kinda like this but as a docked window in obs)

[random bolt]

yea I use streamdeck Mobile currently

[round lava]

Nice. Eventually I'll get a real streamdeck. (So many other things to improve first, like cameras)

[random bolt]

with advanced scene switcher plugin do you know of a way to do the following : if key 1 is pressed then ......
I want it to be key and not a hotkey so that I can for ex press key G on my keyboard and then it does something

[round lava]

I don't understand the difference. Any key can be made a hotkey

But I believe ASS has options for hotkey too if obs doesn't naturally have the "does something" you're looking for and you want to run it through that.

[fossil wyvern]

adv-ss hotkey condition works through the obs hotkey system

[random bolt]

Yeah but you have to use what is given I want it so that if I press for ex "1" it hides A;B;C scene and shows D scene and then when I press "2" it hides B;C;D scene and shows A scene and that can only be done with macros but I do not see a KeyPressed option in Advanced Scene Switcher another reason I want it to be done in ASS is I don't want the function to always be active so that I can disable the hotkeys 1 & 2 if I don't want to use it

[fossil wyvern]

well you can use adv-ss to register a hotkey, and activate/deactivate the macro whenever you want

[round lava]

I'd have to wait till lunch to be 100 percent sure, but based on penwywern, yeah it's got a hotkey function, and you can tell it to respond by doing several actions instead of just one.

[fossil wyvern]

yee 100% can

[latent kiln]

i am so frustrated as I cant use tracking using NV AR MOVe. I keep getting this "The specified Pixel is not accomodated" error message

[random bolt]

Do you know what it is called because the only one I see is this one?

[fossil wyvern]

that's the one

[random bolt]

How do i create a custom hotkey then ?

[fossil wyvern]

that's it, that creates a custom hotkey

[random bolt]

How do I set a button to it? like buton 5 on kryboard

[fossil wyvern]

settings > hotkeys

look for the one with the name you set

[random bolt]

Oh crazzy ok I see they could have made it easier to just have a promt in there that lets you pick a key instead of going to obs hotkeys

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, that's not easy to do

not impossible that it's not doable at all tbh

[random bolt]

I discovered ASS 2 days ago and holy I would never be able to stream again without it best plugin ever made, it automates all my work

[fossil wyvern]

it's fucking glorious

[vale vine]

I love ASS

[hallow vale]

Who doesn't?

[pseudo cliff]

Does anyone know if theres a plugin that includes OCR, im trying to make it detect a number on screen and when that number is on screen itll change scene, play a source or activate a hotkey etc.

I need thiss. Do you know if theres any tutorials videos? Im looking for it to play a video (switch scene or auto hit a hotkey) when the number of kills increases

any tutorials on this?

[ruby lichen]

Don't have a tutorial on that use case in particular but it's definitely doable! The ocr plugin can update a source which you monitor with AdvSS and trigger a video, sounds not difficult to implement

[pseudo cliff]

I actually came across your video and DMed you on Twitter earlier haha 😅 Im trying to detect a number of kills/players in a game which will then play a video when detecting the number 50 (players), or 1 (kill) or 2 (kills)

I have no idea how to do anything OBS related, so im kind of struggling with the entire thing

[smoky stream]

Has anyone used the PTZ Controls plug-in by glikely? My presets keep getting changed when I add a new source that goes to a specific preset.

[digital trellis]

Is there some sort of plugin where you get notified (via phone for ex.) if your stream hits 0 kbps/no connection? Please let me know! 🙏

[faint bane]

Hey guys
Does anyone know of a plugin that can do this type of marking on the screen while recording a video?

When I record the screen, with specific software, it shows these markings but when I record, a window does not appear.

[hallow vale]

OBS doesn't have the ability to overlay stuff like this on your screen if that is what you are asking

[faint bane]

I understood.
Well, that's what I needed but that's okay.
I'll look at other ways.
Thanks.

[hallow vale]

Yeah, it's a bummer. Good luck

[faint bane]

I didn't want to have to record the entire screen but I'll adjust it here to have a better video experience.

[hallow vale]

I'm sorry, I don't understand how this is related?

[faint bane]

Translation errors.
But I understood the characteristic of OBS.

[hallow vale]

Ah, I understand

[copper jay]

I’m using video ninja with OBS when I have my guess I can hear them. They can hear me in each scene except my window capture and what I mean is they can’t hear the YouTube videos is there a way to fix this? I have the virtual cables, and I also wanted to know, what this work with the electron capture

[bright sapphire]

Pop into #audio-support 🙂

[random bolt]

Is there an easy way of duplicating a text in obs but the second text is independent from the first text so that the text 1 and text 2 can have different text on them?

[obsidian agate]

no, the text is based on the source itself. You would need to make another, unique text source that would have different text in it

[obsidian agate]

when you copy the source, there is are "Paste As Duplicate" and "Paste As Reference" options, where duplicate will create a new text source that has the same settings as the previous one. However, changing the settings of one will not change the settings of the other

[random bolt]

Yeah I tried duplicate but it changes the first text aswell

[obsidian agate]

you used the Paste As Reference then

if both sources have the same name, they are the same source

[random bolt]

See now thanks missclick

[obsidian agate]

np

[random bolt]

Also why does copy transform and then paste transform not work

it does nothing

[obsidian agate]

are you pasting the transform of one source onto another unique source, and do they have different transform values before pasting?

[random bolt]

Yep

[obsidian agate]

!support not sure then, its working for me on my copy of OBS. may want to check in a support channel

[oblique yew]

If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!

[random bolt]

The text stays top left after i paste transform

[obsidian agate]

ah, groups...

im thinking its not working the way you want because Groups have their own internal positions that are not the same as the global positions

[vale vine]

Groups are so cursed

[obsidian agate]

I dont use groups myself, except as a very brief utility feature

[vale vine]

I bet @wide kraken dreams of the day they no longer exist

[random bolt]

I'm glad they are a thing makes everything more organized XD

[random bolt]

Could this also be a groups bug that I have to paste multiple times just so it can go where I want it to?🤣

[obsidian agate]

like Matty said, Groups are Cursed

[mortal harbor]

can anyone who made the wincaptureaudio plugin pls fix?

[mortal harbor]

that plugin isn't being maintained any longer but the functionality is mostly built into OBS. what is your issue?

i know but its a liitle bit shitty

you aren't giving any info that makes it possible to help you

i must everytime change the window and that is annoying

you mean for different games?

yep

I found the other plugin much easier

if you install the latest beta of OBS, you can include audio directly within your game capture source so the audio will include whatever game you have selected at the time.

[graceful robin]

My plugin post shows it was deleted. Is that correct?

[mortal harbor]

i think it shows that way for you until it is approved

[graceful robin]

Strangely another one that hasn't been approved doesn't show that:

[hard jay]

you're looking at the forum thread for one, and the actual resource listing for the other.

The forum threads show as deleted until it's all approved.

[graceful robin]

Ah

Cool!

Yep, I see it now.

[signal pendant]

Hi there! Does anyone have an idea how to crop the chroma key to the green screen only? So that the rest of my facecam does not have the chroma key filter?

[manic ermine]

You could use source clone to copy and crop your face cam, and then just apply the chroma key filter to the cropped clone. Might be tricky and require you to edit the transforms manually so the multiple source copies line up with each other. Probably best to do it in a separate scene and then use the scene source in place of the video capture source for scenes where you want the face cam.

If you wanted a diagonal crop you could make a mask of just the area you want green screened and then layer a copy with the inverse mask on top of it.

[vocal storm]

Hi! I am trying to multi stream to youtube and tik tok live using the Atium vertical plug in. When I connect my OBS virtual camera the tik tok live application, it only shows my horizontal stream set up instead of my vertical one. Any help on how to change my virtual camera to being my vertical set up?

[obsidian agate]

You need to use the Atium virtual camera that is part of the plugin, accessible from the vertical canvas dock

[vocal storm]

Thank you!

[obsidian agate]

Welcome

[signal pendant]

thanks buddy I will try it

[glossy hatch]

Any tip on what plugin I can use or 3rd sdie app:

Set a list of timers to run one after each other and play sound on the end:
1 minute
3 minutes
15 minutes
etc.

Anything exist like this?

[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.

[lofty leaf]

Can do something like that pretty easy with something like Firebot

I'm using the Move plug-in and have set up a few Move Sources to move my webcam source around which are activated with hotkeys.

I would like to use the Social Stream Ninja plugin to display my Facebook Live Chat as a Doc. I want to react to certain comments and show the featured chat overlay in the stream. Now my question. Can another person access this doc to sort the comments for me during the stream? I need a mod in my OBS chat. is that possible. I hope I have expressed myself clearly enough. Would be happy if someone has a solution. Thank you

The creator has a support discord that's really great. Find it at the bottom of the VDO.ninja home page

Whenever I try and install/add plugins they don't show up in OBS like I've been recommended a couple of audio filter plugins and I drop the .dll in both the 32 bit and 64 bit folder just to try and get it to show up, but I don't see em when I go to add a filter 🤔

[hallow vale]

Are they VST plugins?

[lofty leaf]

Yeah they are but I figured it out.. the installer had a different default folder than the one I was sposed to have

[hallow vale]

Yup! Glad you got it going

Hello User, I hope you are having a great day. So I am a VR/Video Game Content Creator. I’ve been really successful here the past few months but I’m trying to figure out how to elevate my content. So I thought I could do livestreams! There is only 1 problem. I do not have access to any computer interface. But I figured since the meta quest browser acts like a computer app I was going to try and install OBS and stream directly from my Quest! I just need a few things. I have the plug in downloaded but I do not know what to do from there! If you have any tips please help me out. God bless ❤️.
