plugins-and-tools

[wintry wedge]

To which platforms? Cause there's technically already some options?

[rugged dock]

I am working on my own platform

its for gamers, I want posting of videos very smooth for them by giving them options to directly post the content they recorded or went live with and even they can post content which they broadcaster live to other platforms

[wintry wedge]

Just clarifying cause you said your own platform. I'm assuming you just mean your own plugin? Or do you have a site you want people to be able to also automatically post to?

Noted! Like I said there's technically certain options already.

But regardless what questions did you have regarding building a plugin for such to be natively used in OBS?

[rugged dock]

I have website

[hard jay]

Just to temper expectations, if you're trying to compete in the "game streaming" space and don't have a compelling value-add over existing services like Twitch and YouTube, you will be in for a lot of wasted effort.

Many, many people have tried, all have failed, heh.

[wintry wedge]

Noted, so what questions do you have regarding building a plugin?

[rugged dock]

yah totaly I know and I have talked with multiple gamers on it and just trying to build what they want. Its very thin space but can be rewarding.

[hard jay]

'.')b

[rugged dock]

1. So does OBS allows to make such plugins which if for one platform and is it required to make it open source
2. and to make such plugin can we do it with web technologies like html css js or any other framework instead of going with c, c++

[hard jay]

1. yes 2) c/c++ are the only practical options

[rugged dock]

yes means it has to be open source also right

[fossil wyvern]

I still don't understand what's the point of the plugin?
automatically upload to your platform once the recording is finished?

[hard jay]

yes, by making an OBS plugin you link with OBS, which means your plugin has to also be open source.

[wintry wedge]

@rugged dock I'm currious since you were talking about making your own platform. Might it be similar to the following Twitch extension?
It kind of doubles as a social site and a Twitch game showcase. People can share showcases, clips, reviews, etc...
https://www.rankone.global/

[wintry wedge]

I assume it's like how a mix of services do things. Meaning, yes it would likely post automatic videos or be pushed by the user when desired. But also connect with the site in order to post now live, community post, etc.... But I could be wrong. Maybe there's more they can offer via the plugin?

[rugged dock]

hmm i never heard of this rankone but for me I have my own platform which will compete in a thin space between twitch and YouTube and some other platforms. But ill explore this rankone once thanks fo the suggestions and would love to know if there are some other build ideas something mine

[wintry wedge]

Yeah it's new to me too since I've gotten back into Twitch. There's another "Game Showcase" extension, which is cleaner looking IMO. But is just that.
I found this one, and started giving it a shot after some reviews. Seems decent, and is obviously more geared towards Twitch exclusively.
Though you can make post and use Youtube videos, images, etc. Also you can highlight streamers/creators you recommend.

I'm sure with an API you could make auto post work with Lumia Stream or Streamerbot.

Lumia Stream is one I currently use, and Streamerbot I'm sure could also do it. But normally with these programs you automate posting things to integrations like Twitch, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, Discord, etc. Though right now Twitch, Twitter, and Discord are the main ones you can really automate. While IG, Facebook, Threads, and Youtube are still sort of limited by some functions. But I'm sure will be available or can be created with enough knowledge of the respective API's.

Also there's Fourthwall which a lot of creators use that integrate with almost every platform right now. Lumia Stream also has an integration available via it's new beta release. So you could probably also automate post for "members" who follow...

[rugged dock]

not sure but what I can see from the website it seems to be something around controlling smart lights, sending alerts, and integrating with streaming tools for dynamic viewer interaction.

and fourthwall seems like a shop to sell products online

my goal is simple which is a gamer who is gaming on any website and wants to post a part of it to my website they can do it easily with the plugin and then we can take care of the editing things and post it easily to our website only

[wintry wedge]

@rugged dock yeah Lumia Stream is used for that and quite a bit more kind of. With some of the other integrations you can set it up to dynamically update your Twitter image, banner, and name. As well as post. They also have a new discord integration which they're still adjusting to what people are used to. But should be able to post when live, clips, latest videos, etc.

Fourthwall is a shop, but it's also got a members section similar to Patreon so you have your own social site people can engage with. Plus you can display your merch on most and soon to be all major platforms, so people can buy directly where ever you have a social. People can also download an app version of your site to stay connected, which is similar to I think Mighty Networks or some other app I'm thinking of.

So both combined offer a way for streamers and creators to automate clips, content, and merch...

Got it! That also reminds me of one other platform that is popular. One sec

[wintry wedge]

@rugged dock
So the main popular AI editor I know of is Sizzle
https://www.sizzle.gg/home

then there's Framedrop (formerly Combo?) Which last I checked, can automatically edit and post clips on the fly
https://www.framedrop.ai/joincombo

There's also StreamLadder which I don't know too much about
https://streamladder.com/

Lastly there's Cross Clip which is not part of Stream Labs apparently
https://streamlabs.com/cross-clip

All are AI editors with certain flexibilities. So these may be worth knowing about. There's also a text editor that people use as well.
So look into these!

Assuming you plan to run your own editor on your side, and such!

[rugged dock]

yah totally this is a great insight thanks for the help. Ill definitely try them out.

[wintry wedge]

Anytime, I just think all of these are great references at least. Cause either you can set up something similar on your site, and create the desired plugin. Then you can let the AI handle that while focusing on how else you want your site to be.

If not, you can maybe integrate one of these services

[rugged dock]

yah I totally agree. This are some great references.I am looking into them right now. Thank you, I never thought Ill get this much help its amazing

[wintry wedge]

You're quite welcome! Even if there's other things pre existing or the like, I still think it's at least worth attempting or learning. So why not share what's currently in the market and let you have fun! It also can be stressful when you can't find stuff that might help you make a different decision. Thankfully there's a bunch of knowledgeable people in this community

Enjoy and have fun!

[cerulean isle]

Is there a way or plugin that saves the source or audio filter settings?

[obsidian agate]

save them for what purpose?

[cerulean isle]

so that when I install Windows I can use the same configuration that I have been using for 1 year and not have to spend 2 months reconfiguring everything

I already took a couple of photos of the configurations but I have scenes with 50 filters and if there is an easier way I would like to know about it

[vale vine]

Export your scene collections and profiles

!export

[oblique yew]

To export OBS settings to back them up, go to Profile > Export (to export streaming/recording settings) and Scene Collection > Export (to export scenes).

[cerulean isle]

it never works for me

i allways have to reconfig all

[obsidian agate]

you will still need to reconfigure some things, since if you reinstall Windows, the device IDs for audio and video devices will change

[cerulean isle]

yes but what i need is to save the filters configs

[spiral ruin]

I believe filters are saved as part of the scenes and sources the filters are applied too. So that would be part of the exported scene collection.

[obsidian agate]

you could try using Exeldro's "Source Copy" plugin, it copies in JSON, and i believe they added Filter copy to it recently

but the filters settings shouldnt change at all when exporting and then importing

[cerulean isle]

thx

[quiet bramble]

Another option that some people such as myself do, is to use OBS portable mode, by downloading the ZIP file version of OBS and unzipping it, creating the portable.txt file in its directory, instead of using the standard EXE file installer. With portable mode, the OBS binary and all of its distributed files, a well as the configuration and scene collection configs are in a single subdirectory. One can backup this entire directory and get the program, any plugins that are installed into it, the configuration (profiles+scene collections) all in one shot. The only thing missing is any user assets such as audio/video/image files, or other data files, custom scripts, shaders etc. For that, I put all my custom OBS data under C:\\OBS\data and similar directories. I install my portable installs of OBS under the OBS directory as well, and so I can back up my entire OBS setup including data just by archiving C:\\OBS, and unzip it onto another computer. The only changes that need to be made are related to hardware differences, monitor resolution and similar.

There are pros and cons to a setup like this however, and it's not for everyone. It simplifies some things, but requires a bit more effort for other things.

I wouldn't recommend it to beginners or anyone that wants the simplest setup, but anyone who is intermediate, advanced or a power user or developer, portable mode is the way to go IMHO.

[wintry wedge]

Highly recommend following this. It should save you a lot of time if you need to reset stuff ever.

If you use reaper filters btw for audio.

Def create the setting first in Reaper. Save a file copy in drive. Then you have a perfect reference if you use VST plugins.

Or you can just use Reaper only in OBS. Then you won't have to reset the mic settings.

https://youtu.be/imPH4YzBaZg?si=0fEdgFZ21XTLxZAe

[wintry wedge]

Portable mode is a must, combine it with junctions/symlinks and a back up batch script and you're pretty golden!

[obsidian agate]

Yup, thats basically my workflow, including the batch fule

[bleak compass]

how can I use OBS on PS5

[quiet bramble]

You can't use OBS on a console as it only runs on PCs under Windows or Linux or on Macs. However if you are wanting to use OBS on a PC or Mac to capture games running on a PS5, then you need a capture card on the PC to plug the video output of the PS5 into, such as an Elgato, Avermedia, BlackMagicDesign or similar capture card.

[jaunty hollow]

Hello guys!
Do we have some automatic audio switch?

Look, i have background music and someone can drop a track on a stream so we can listen it. I have to manually go to bgr_music channel and mute it when the viewer track is playing. And switch it back on when the track ends

I think i need something to auto switch music down, when other track channel have signal

Thanks all and great eve

[mortal harbor]

!advss yeah this plugin can mute a source when audio is playing through another.

[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.

[jaunty hollow]

Thanks, gonna check

[jaunty hollow]

Great! 100% that i looking for

have you taken the time to read the explanations on the plugin's page?

[proven trellis]

no, im in a bit of a hurry

got smth in 15 mins

[fossil wyvern]

then I'd suggest you read the explanations on the plugin page

they'll be better than me at explaining it

[proven trellis]

alr

so it says this

and i don't know how to fix it, the site doesn't say as far as i can see

[fossil wyvern]

did you set it up for spotify?

[proven trellis]

yes, it's all linked

it shows the progress bar in my song

how far along the song is before it's ended

and im trying to get the artist and song title up

[maiden jetty]

Does anyone know if there is any way to transmit my screen from one monitor to another?

[spice crypt]

Hello, has anyone used Advanced Scene Switcher before? I'm trying to set up a screen recording script for a user research. I'm planning to make a screen recording that starts after pressing a hotkey, and then stops the recording if it's idle for 5 minutes (3 seconds shown for faster debugging). The macro for "starting the recording with a hotkey button" works but the "if Idle for 5 minutes stop recording" macro seems to not work at all, did I miss anything?

[wintry wedge]

Might be easier to use with Source Record? Just my thoughts currently!

Hold on I'm actually misunderstanding something here I think lol.

Um, maybe set it up so it says If | Recording + And | Idle for | 30 Seconds > Recording | Stop Recording
Then you can just use one Macro. After you would just need to set up a hotkey for recording, and the Macro will handle the process as intended I believe.

[wintry wedge]

Also just a reminder there's a Start Recording area already

[wintry wedge]

In what way do you mean? Because there's definitely a few things depending what you are asking?

[storm stone]

if u want to start record something and u have streamdeck u can do it with the streamdeck to start recording and when u will finish it u press the same and then u wil pause it/finish recording

in this option

[wintry wedge]

They're using the Adv-SS to conduct a user research project. So they want it to stop when there's no keyboard action I think?
So it's not just about starting and stopping a basic recording

[storm stone]

so was my bad

[wintry wedge]

Totally no worries, but thanks for still chiming in!

[storm stone]

btw if someone don´t have streamdeck can do ´´one´´ with the ´´num pad´´ external and setup like to change scenes etc

[wintry wedge]

There's also touch portal, and macro pads too! There's a bunch of fun ways to do things

[faint wraith]

need a way to enable/disable a filter on a source with a hotkey. filters arent in the hotkey section by default but is there a plugin for this?

[weak escarp]

filters of the Move plugin ad hotkeys to the source it is on and you can use the move action filter to enable/disable an other filter

[chilly isle]

There is also a filter hotkey lua script for that.

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-filter-hotkeys.1125/

[faint wraith]

this here? https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move.913/ so will i need to use an old version of obs?

[weak escarp]

It works on the latest version of OBS

[maiden jetty]

Hi, thanks for answering, basically I want to be able to transmit the image from one game window to a TV (connected via HDMI cable), so I can "play" the game looking at my computer (like a simple duplicate screen), but also change the window to other applications without it appearing in the TV.

[fossil wyvern]

right click the source in obs > fullscreen monitor (source)

[maiden jetty]

But then, how do I transmit it to another monitor? I'm gonna have to create a stream in some online platform and then open it on the monitor?

[fossil wyvern]

no, just select the monitor you want to set the projector on

[maiden jetty]

Ok, I am gonna try that, thanks for the help

[faint wraith]

i used the windows installer, but i don't have move as an option in Scene Transitions, is there a trick to get it to show up?

i just see cut and fade as options

[cloud plume]

Does anyone know how to have properties from two instances of the same source in a single plugin? I am trying to have two text sources in my plugin that can be controlled through properties individually. I am currently adding the properties of the sources like this: ```
obs_properties_t* text1_props = obs_source_properties(info->textSource);
obs_properties_remove_by_name(text1_props, "text_file");
obs_properties_remove_by_name(text1_props, "from_file");
obs_properties_remove_by_name(text1_props, "log_mode");
obs_properties_remove_by_name(text1_props, "log_lines");
obs_properties_remove_by_name(text1_props, "word_wrap");
obs_properties_remove_by_name(text1_props, "text");
obs_properties_remove_by_name(text1_props, "custom_width");

obs_properties_add_group(
    props, "text_properties", "Text Settings", OBS_GROUP_CHECKABLE,
    text1_props);

But when I do the same for the second source (same thing but changing text1_props, info->textSource, and group name and desc) it gives me the warning: "warning: property 'font' exists" and doesn't draw the properties for the other source. I'm assuming that I need to change the names of the properties for the second source but from my research (both from documentation website and source code) its feeling way more involved than the rest of the plugin so far and I feel as though I'm missing something.

[loud wedge]

You could use the "Cursor" condition to detect when the scroll wheel is pressed. (On Windows at least)
Up and down movement is currently not supported but I guess it should be rather easy to add support for that too.

Sorry for the late reply.

[barren knoll]

Quick question on Source Record - Can you record multiple sources at once, and will a source-record on a greenscreened camera preserve alpha?

[fossil wyvern]

by putting them in a scene and putting the filter on the scene, yes
and no

[barren knoll]

So there can only be one source recording going at once?

[fossil wyvern]

no

there can be as much running as you want

or more realistically as much as your hardware can withstand

putting sources together in a scene is if you want to record them together in the same video

[barren knoll]

OK, I'll have to remember that. My original plan was to use it to record gameplay and camera separately, that way they could be positioned however in edited footage later. But if camera recordings don't retain alpha, I can just ignore that and just focus on the gameplay.

[dusky basin]

arguably

recording without alpha is better

because post-production tools (i.e. video editors) often have better chroma keyers

[barren knoll]

Fair, lol

[noble arrow]

Hey you all. i'm using the obs zoom to mouse script. and everytime i zoom in it "transforms" the display capture even when it's locked. i don't want it to do that. only zoom in on the display. not change the actual display capture window by transforming it. anyone know how to prevent this? thanks

this is how it's supposed to work. but can only get it to work like that if it's full screen

Hi there, So I am trying to get NDI to work on OBS, and I downloaded something via the plug-in website: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-ndi-newtek-ndi™-integration-into-obs-studio.528/ When I now try to start OBS it gives me an error saying NDI runtime not found ( see image). When I try to download it my browser automatically stops it from downloading, telling me it is unsafe. Anyone have any experience?

[hallow vale]

Yes, you need the runtime. Your browser is just being overcautious

[quaint sedge]

awesome, thank you. Do you have any experience with setting up NDI and would you possibly be available for a few mins?

[hallow vale]

I have done it rather recently. Feel free to reply here so I get a ping

[quaint sedge]

Thanks, I will. Working on setting it up right now

@hallow vale I don't know how you have it set up, but I think HEVC mode with the highest rate is the setting with the least latency right?

[hallow vale]

Sorry, I don't know.

!ndi Here's the NDI discord for that question

[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

[hallow vale]

!ducking Dang

[oblique yew]

If you're experiencing sound volume reduction when OBS is opened, try checking the "Disable Windows audio ducking" option in Settings > Audio > Advanced, in OBS. Then restart OBS to see if the issue is resolved.

[hallow vale]

Nope not it

!sidechain

[oblique yew]

Sidechain compression (ducking) is available by using the Compressor filter on your audio sources. For a video guide, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Te2JERlInQ

[hallow vale]

Yay!

[wintry wedge]

Nest it in another scene first. I believe it only works by zooming in on the source.

So if it's nested else where. Then it will zoom there and the scene source will work as intended

[harsh topaz]

<@&715347355565817879>

[sleek lynx]

playing around with obs ducking... it ducks when the video plays, but does it again like a second later, ideas?

so it ducks for the video, then does it again with no sound/video playing

[mortal harbor]

screenshot the filter properties

[mortal harbor]

how'd you come up with those settings?

[sleek lynx]

youtube video

i dont know if you remember me, but I SUCK at audio, my weekest link

[mortal harbor]

delete the filter, add a new one and don't change any of the settings apart from the threshold

lower threshold = more ducking

[sleek lynx]

still messed up, is it because im monitoring the audio?

the vids with me turning off monitoring, so I dunno wtf

the toasty is on a "downstreme keyer" layer, wonder if that would affect the normal compressor filter

nope

[sleek lynx]

no idea why its ducking later?

[mortal harbor]

screenshot the filter properties again

Hello c: does anyone know if there is a way to have a "sound" or notification when i press my "save replay" like the nvidia software? :0

Kind of a work-a-round would be to use the advanced scene switcher plugin and set a macro to play the sound when you press save replay

[warm flax]

i am using source record plugin while streaming and for some reason it makes 2 files basicly the same recording just a few moments before

is it safe to delete the 1st file?

im trying to record just the gameplay and audio from gameplay not anything else in order to make a video from it

[mortal harbor]

what is the point of source record in this case? you could just do a normal recording with only your game capture source and it's audio.

[warm flax]

its cause the stream has overlays and i dont want those to appear while recording the stream

[warm flax]

how would i do that

i have no idea why it makes 2 files thuogh

[mortal harbor]

sorry i didn't realize you were streaming also.

i'm not very familiar with source record but if there are two recordings i'd guess it is either your normal recording + source record, or you have two source record filters.

i personally have only used the vertical canvas plugin in this way, which gives you a second canvas to record where you could place a game capture source.

[warm flax]

i do have 2 source record filters but for different things is there a way to enable and disable them

[warm flax]

that sounds cool 2 screens bacily ill try that out

[mortal harbor]

yeah, looks like this

[warm flax]

nice

thanks

[tight pebble]

Hello!
I'm using the "Move Transition" Plugin to create a Fade Out on the Audio volume and then a Fade In using the "Move Value" in the Filters for the Audio Track.
The Fade Out goes to "1.00%" of the Volume and the Fade In sets it back to "100.00%"
It works well, but the issue is that, when I start OBS again, it defaults the values to "100.00%" of the Audio and when I try to play them, they don't work at all until I set the values again. It happens every time OBS is closed and opened again. Is there any way I can fix this?

[mortal harbor]

create a move value filter for whatever you want it to start out as and set a start trigger for it that happens when the source first shows or something similar

[tight pebble]

Ooh, that's smart, I'll give it a try

Dang, doesn't seem to be working either. After restarting OBS, the Filters seem to not work until set again

[weak escarp]

I have seen a similar report but have not been able to replicate the issue myself. Is it a global audio source or is it an audio source on a scene? Does the filter also need resetting after switching scene collection?

[wintry wedge]

Its easier to create faders with the ADV-SS imo...
This is how I have stuff set up with Audio Sources nested, and as part of the DSK.

That way music is max on starting soon, breaks, and ending. But it fades the music down 15db. Then unmutes the mic and fades it in for every scene not the first three mentioned. Works smoothly and consistently. Plus you only need 2 macros. Unless you have some other unique set ups?

I just noticed my BRB screen is not added in there yet... But I'm still working on how i wanna set it up.
Also something I'm putting in the DSK since I have some ideas on how I wanna it to work with every other scene

Yes, it's free and pretty simple. It's just a browser source overlay. So it should work!

Hello, good morning, I downloaded the rtmp plugin but the plugin does not appear, I reinstalled obs and formatted my pc but it still does not work

[flat venture]

would love to be pinged if this gets answered. I have the same issue and haven't figured it out in the past year. I do art streams (or...used to) and wanted to try this like I've seen others do but the closest it's come to working transforms the frame size dramatically and is wildly erratic in zooming in A LOT (ie very distorted frame as it squashes and stretches its size instead of just tracking and zooming somewhat). The closest I've come to solving this is maybe for me it has to do with it being attached to an abnormal screen (a 4k cintiq), but hearing someone using a normal monitor adds to this.

If I have a group, with say 10 sources, besides making a bunch of or conditions, is their an easier way to include all sources in a group in one condition in adv-ss?

[wintry wedge]

I might be a little confused on the wording. Mind sharing a screen shot?

[tight pebble]

It's the Microphone, so I assume Global? Like the default option that comes with the default scene in OBS I believe

[tight pebble]

I'll give this a try in a few

[tight pebble]

Oh, yup, it also resets on Scene Collection change

@weak escarp would you like me to DM you a video of me replicating the bug?

[wintry wedge]

Sounds good, let me know how it works for you

[weak escarp]

I managed to replicate the issue with a global audio source now, working on a fix now

[weak escarp]

When logged in on GitHub you can download a test build with the fix from the bottom of this page:
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-move-transition/actions/runs/9545228274

[tight pebble]

Yup, tested both scene switching and OBS restarting, it's working now.

probably need to update OBS

[terse sand]

Rip stream fx

Understandable!

[mortal harbor]

streamfx doesnt work on the current version of OBS?

[untold jay]

@terse sand Look through older versions of obs-multi-rtmp and pick one that's compatible with 29.x.

[terse sand]

I think it's the paid version? Though I never really had the opportunity to use it

[mortal harbor]

i just don't think there is any reason that updating from your version to 30.1.2 would break streamfx compatibility

[fossil wyvern]

it 100% will

[mortal harbor]

generally speaking when trying to fix something like this the logical path forward is to make sure everything is up to date rather than trying to find old versions and patch things together

[fossil wyvern]

but as far as I can see they're only using it for blur

So : https://github.com/FiniteSingularity/obs-composite-blur

[terse sand]

I think the logs only shows the current profile I'm in which is for recording/testing Using an older version of the plugin works now!

[fossil wyvern]

update obs, update multi-rtmp, use the plugin I linked instead of streamfx

[terse sand]

Is there a way to check which plugins still work / that's currently downloaded on my pc

[bleak imp]

Possibly a dumb question with a simple answer, but I just got a avermedia livegamer ultra 2.1 and it is working sort of... except when I add the video capture device it seems to want to only fill a 720p portion of my 4k canvas... If I fire up reccentral 4, it comes up beautifully in 4k.

[vapid charm]

Do Ctrl+R and Ctrl+F

Do note this is more appropriate for the support channels.

You also need to set the resolution in the properties to match what you want.

[bleak imp]

Ok, well it feels a bit like a bug maybe

I mean that sort of fixed it, but it just seems to be stretching and upscaling possibly

it looks like absolute crap on a resultant 4k stream

And yeah, I probably don't know the best place to ask actually 🙂 sorry

Does anyone know of a good speech to text for OBS that supports fadeout and smooth animations for switching to the next line?

[cyan moss]

does anyone use the soundboard plug in? i think i got it to work but i can hear it even though i can see it working where it shows the volume. i would like to test/hear it before i launch a stream since this is new. want to test to make sure the sounds do spike or anything

new to me*

[faint wraith]

is there a plugin or method of toggling a filter on a (looping) timer? currently using a combination of exeldros move plugin and autohotkey, but since i run OBS as admin AHK sometimes doesnt get the hotkey through (even if i launch the AHK script as admin), i have to basically leave my mouse hovering over OBS for it to trigger reliably. its kindof okay since its just the stream PC not the one im gaming on but im just wondering if there a way easier solution that i missed

[vale vine]

Ass can probably do that

!advss

[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.

[faint wraith]

Just getting it to connect to my computer and if I can replace the cord that came with my mic (which was lost) and still have it work

well yeah you can very likely replace it

[versed egret]

Ok. How do I go about replacing it? Bc I tried a USB c o found in my room but I can't get the mic to turn on and work

[fossil wyvern]

have you considered asking jlab's support?

[sharp oak]

i'll look into it. thanks

[fossil wyvern]

just FYI, you do not need the SE plugin for their services, and it is known to fuck shit up, so don't install it

[oblique yew]

To hear your audio sources through your own speakers/headset:

1. In OBS Settings → Audio, set your Monitoring Device to the speakers/headset through which you wish to hear the source audio, then click OK
2. Click the Edit menu → Advanced Audio Properties
3. For each device you wish to hear, change Audio Monitoring to:

• Monitor Off: only hear in your stream/recording
• Monitor and Output: hear through your device and your stream/recording
• Monitor Only: only hear through your device; don't hear in your stream/recording

Note: ensure you use a different monitoring device than any device you capture. Otherwise, your stream/recording will contain an echo.

[cyan moss]

Okay I will try that when I get back to my house

[mortal harbor]

I'm trying to do an animation of sliding in first and next zooming in for transitions

as in this example

How should I do this?

this would be a source that is doing this?

[mortal harbor]

I don't know

I am at a loss as to how to do this

Users have suggested the move transition but it is missing 2 crucial features which I feel are necessary for this to work

i wasn't asking how to do it, i am asking if the thing that is sliding in and then zooming would be a source in the scenario you are picturing.

I thought I could get around with making it a stinger

I can't

I had to download like 3 different plugins and a bunch of other irrelevancies to try and still fail to do it

pretty easy to do with move, yeah.

[mortal harbor]

not really

once you notice that there is not one but two main motions

none of the curve presets allow you to do this

Not only, but there's no inbuilt setting to set a start and end time

• this layer must show on top

• there should be a squashed, upside down instance of the scene in the transition too to fill in the reflection portion

Move does NOT satisfy my desires for this

[mortal harbor]

alright

wtf

how

i've been fucking around with settings for hours and wasn't able to get THIS

[obsidian agate]

and you can get the little bounce in and out with move as well. just need to break the animations down into separate filters

[mortal harbor]

there is a move filter?????

oh mein gott

[obsidian agate]

there is a lot of them 🙂

[mortal harbor]

diamonds

[obsidian agate]

welcome to jurassic park

[mortal harbor]

yes so i have a move transition, all default settings. then two move source filters on the 2nd scene, one to zoom with a 500ms start delay and one to reset its transform when i switch back to another scene.

[obsidian agate]

"Move" plugin is an amazing toolbox

[mortal harbor]

hold on

so looking at the events right now

is there anything for when I switch scenes

i also got this out animation

[obsidian agate]

i need to clean it up more, but i am using...

• Move (exeldro)
• Downstream Keyer (exeldro)
• Scene as Transition (andilippi)

[mortal harbor]

gem btw

but what do I do here

[obsidian agate]

AND optimize it so its not pushing my frame render time past 16.6ms

[mortal harbor]

new question guys

so I'm using the filters now

nvm I think I am just stupid

alright new question fr now

how do I use stingers with this plugin

[mortal harbor]

this one's a stinger btw

[obsidian agate]

"stingers" as they are in OBS are just videos, nothing more or less.

I dont use the "transition" part of "move" myself, instead opting for Scene as Transition.

[mortal harbor]

how do i put that into there

what I want to do is to have the media as a frame for the scene

[obsidian agate]

i would suggest watching the videos that are in each plugins GitHub and OBSProject wiki page to get more details on each.

[mortal harbor]

can i just get an article

like a wiki article that isn't just talking about the transitions and not the filters

[obsidian agate]

not really articles, ive got more links for videos from folks that go into great details on the plugins and filters

Andilippi, for example, has videos for the "Move Source", "Move Value", and the Nvidia AR move filters

[fervent marsh]

The move plugin is amazing, but I'm definitely nowhere near smart enough to figure out how to do anything interesting with it, with the documentation that's available, heh. (...I wonder if I could sponsor exeldro to do up some proper documentation for it...)

[hard jay]

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

[wintry wedge]

There are definitely a lot of unique ways to use it! It's crazy

[mortal harbor]

I think I got it

but one last question

How do I replace one source with another seamlessly?

I don't want to redo all the transformation filters on every single scene

[wintry wedge]

You can copy past all your filters at once btw. With what you're trying to do. How often is this gonna be activating? Because there's a few ways you can set it up to be done probably just once, and switch out content dynamically

[mortal harbor]

no

say I want to apply the filters to a game capture instead of a display capture

when I change the filters to the display capture, their position parameter resets

and I have to save all of the positions for each of the filters in order for them to work right

[wintry wedge]

So if you're just switching it out. What you'll wanna do is first left or right click and choose the option copy all filters.
Then when it's pasted. Go into what you currently have set. Copy the setting and paste them into the filters on the new source so you don't have to re do it.

I know that it's definitely an issue when pasting the filters onto a new source. Thankfully if you still have the filters on the previous tested source, you can copy the sizing/positions, etc...

You'll have have to re paste those after pasting all filters at once.

If you need a video, I can record one real quick

OH WAIT! You might be able to use Exeldros source copy plugin to avoid the as well. One sec...

[mortal harbor]

that's not the point

if I were to replace one of the sources with another one, and then I changed the settings for the scene to include the new source instead of the old one, then the Transform attribute here gets reset

It gets reset to the source's current position every time you change the source in the scene filter

[wintry wedge]

^ you can copy this and paste it. I do it all the time when I test effects elsewhere. Trust me

[quiet bramble]

Put the changing content in one scene, put the filters on the scene instead of the source. Toggling individual sources visibility will then switch sources and the scene filters will apply to it. Nest this scene inside of other scenes as needed.

[wintry wedge]

Btw a note for the future, another thing you can do which would save time. Create a nested scene with anything you'd want to transform. Then paste the filters, and the transform onto that. Then you can swap content in the nested scene and you'll never have to recreate that effect on other sources that you swap...

[quiet bramble]

Followup: If you're putting Game Capture and Desktop capture in the same scene, make sure they're never enabled together. Disable the one first, then enable the other. Best done with macros or similar, or perhaps with Exeldro's Source Switcher

[mortal harbor]

hmm

[mortal harbor]

yeah i'm not doing that

i just have two separate scenes like this

[mortal harbor]

is there a bogo cat plugin for linux?

[fossil wyvern]

afaik no, and tbh the windows one has been unmaintained for quite a bit

[mortal harbor]

well gotta make my own

[fossil wyvern]

ngl rather than a plugin, I'd suggest doing it in HTML and loading it as a browser source

[mortal harbor]

well I know that it would work fantastically but I am on linux and am using wayland so I cant source a single window, I have to source the entire screen. I would be moving to x11 for the fix then try this. Thaks for the suggestion though.

[fossil wyvern]

no, a browser source

not capturing an actual browser

although, on wayland, you might have issues with inputs altogether

[mortal harbor]

exactly lol

[untold jay]

That's the thing with plugins like that, you can document its functionality and some simple effects that can be made, but trying to document everything that can be done is like trying to document everything you could possibly draw on a canvas. Someone will probably eventually create an effect no one has thought of yet.

[serene echo]

I can tell you from experience, documenting plugins is hard. I try to document mine as much as possible, and it takes forever!

[teal tide]

Does anyone here use Stream Deck to control OBS? If so, is there a way to set it up to control these settings?

[remote swallow]

Hello, I am having problems with setting up a Move Source sequence.......I think I have the sequence "chained" or "linked" incorrectly because when I switch from one scene to the scene that has the sequence to test it out for order and speed it does not automatically start the sequence. I have created a Word document with a list of the chaining of the sequencing for both starting and ending positions for the plugin sequencing along with screen shots.

[untold jay]

@remote swallow Could you record the Filters window with all filter properties visible in one window and show the properties for all of them?

[remote swallow]

Certainly.....be right back with that....

[untold jay]

@remote swallow Are you sure that's the correct recording? I hope you didn't have "hide obs windows from screen capture" enabled.

[remote swallow]

Where is that setting for me to check?

[remote swallow]

Not enabled

[untold jay]

@remote swallow The recording you posted above doesn't seem to have any filter settings, it's a Word window that disappears after a few seconds, then 2 minutes of nothing at 9 Mbps.

[remote swallow]

Ok, yes, looking at the recording now....let me try that again...

It did the same recording again....it isn't recording the OBS window.....

[untold jay]

@remote swallow Window capture can't be used to capture obs-studio itself, there is a failsafe against that. You'd have to use display capture.

[remote swallow]

how do I set that up?

[untold jay]

@remote swallow You'd add a display capture source and select which display to capture.

[remote swallow]

ok, can do that

[untold jay]

@remote swallow If you want these movements to occur one after another, you should use "next move", not "simultaneous move".

[remote swallow]

Ok, didn't pick up on that.....You see I had it all set up right but then I decided to add in another item/object/element/source, that being the dozer only and I had it working perfectly before adding that in and I thought it was all set up properly and all of the items other than the dozer only were already showing set up with simultaneous and it was working. My 2nd question is why isn't the sequence triggering/starting when I switch from one scene to the "Targets" scene so I can tweak the order and speed?

[untold jay]

@remote swallow Triggering more than 1 move transition on a single source simultaneously usually either does nothing, or results in erratic motion, don't expect it to work.

[remote swallow]

eh? Don't understand......I am only going in a single chain of one to the next to the next to the next within the same scene.....I am not using multiple within each source.

[untold jay]

@remote swallow If you want effects to trigger one after another, you should configure them as "next move", but you have configured as "simultaneous move", which causes multiple move effects to trigger all at once.

[remote swallow]

Ok, I got that, and I corrected that but why is it when I switch from one scene to the next scene, (i.e. Information scene to the Targets scene) the sequence does not run/trigger?

[obsidian agate]

multiple move filters on a single source is fine, as long as they dont step on eachother

[untold jay]

@obsidian agate Watch #plugins-and-tools message , a bunch of them seem to be triggered simultaneously on the same source.

[obsidian agate]

yes, which you told them about already and they sound as though they have fixed it

[untold jay]

@remote swallow Here's an example of how to create a chain of move transitions.
Since the move transition plugin doesn't automatically undo its own transitions, you have to start with a transition that moves the source back to its "initial" position.

[remote swallow]

I have that already set up......That is what all of the "01" & "02" is about. Right now I don't understand why the sequence will not trigger when I switch from the Information SCENE into the Targets SCENE so I can view the timing and see if I want it slower or faster....

[obsidian agate]

what is triggering the filters to become enabled?

[remote swallow]

It is supposed to just automatically start when I switch from the Information scene into the targets scene......

[obsidian agate]

something needs to enable the first filter to get the ball rolling

[remote swallow]

It was working perfectly until I decided to add the Dozer

The first item in the sequence is set to the start trigger being "Source Activate: When the source becomes actively shown"

[obsidian agate]

lemme open my copy of OBS so i can look at some of the filter options.

Which filter specifically was this again?

[remote swallow]

It is called Move Source

[obsidian agate]

hmmm, not entirely sure. I use the "Move Value" filter more than anything in that plugin. That trigger should work, unless the source/scene/group it is applied to is being rendered already and you just dont know about it

[remote swallow]

What I am getting is when I switch from the scene called "Information" to the "Targets" scene the sequence in the "Targets" scene is not triggering to run....

[obsidian agate]

one moment

[remote swallow]

Thank you

[obsidian agate]

so if you have the Filters window open and you switch scenes, that first filter never triggers?

I just tested that trigger method on my copy of OBS and it triggered fine.

try setting the end delay of it to something like 2000 ms

noticed in the video you posted that it is all set to 0ms (which is fine, but set one to 1000ms or higher for testing)

[remote swallow]

Nope....I switch from the "Information" scene to the "Targets" scene and I remain on the empty landfill background

[obsidian agate]

specifically asking about if the filter itself becomes active or not.

set it to 1000ms or more for an ending or starting delay, have the filter window for "Targets" scene open, switch from Info to Targets, and see if that first filter stays active for the full amount of delay

[remote swallow]

This is how it was running prior to my adding in the Dozer Only

Ignore the last part with the green flames - that is for the scene after the Targets

[obsidian agate]

i dont need to see what it is supposed to look like in the end.

i understand that

[remote swallow]

and I had not fully built up the information scene with the different sources yet when I recorded that.

But what was working was the text flying in and the final batch of thumbnails dropping down.

[obsidian agate]

• open the **Filters ** window for the scene "Targets"
• Select "Bash Em 01"
• Set that filter's Start Delay to "2000ms"
• While the filters window is open, switch to the "Information" scene.
• Wait a moment, then switch to "Targets" scene.
• Does the "Bash Em 01" filter become active for the 2000ms?

[remote swallow]

no, never triggers at all it just stays on the empty landfill

[obsidian agate]

okay, that means something is preventing the actual trigger from happening

if the filter doesnt turn on and stay on for 2 seconds

if you enable the filter manually, does it delay for 2 seconds, then trigger the rest of the filter-chain/animation?

[remote swallow]

When you say enable manually do you mean in the filters window clicking on the eye?

[obsidian agate]

yes, manually enabling the filter by clicking the eye

[remote swallow]

Nope, the only thing that happens is when I click they eye I eventually get the Dozer 01 eye flash

[obsidian agate]

there is something else going on in your filter chain.

my suggestion for troubleshooting this would be to add a delay to each filter (either start or end delay is fine, but do all the same type of delay so its uniform)

this will help you visually see what all is triggering when. Change them back to 0ms or whatever is needed.

Move filter chains can get very complex very fast

[remote swallow]

Yes, I am learning the complexity......frustrating but learning can be frustrating

[mortal harbor]

best thing to do is to disable any next/simultaneous moves and trigger each manually to make sure things are moving how you expect them to

then setting the order and adding delays is easy afterwards.

[obsidian agate]

yee

oh HUGE suggestion : find a free "Flow Chart" website

[remote swallow]

Should I back up what I have and then scrap the current filter and rebuild from scratch? Would that be less of a problem than troubleshooting the existing?

Or should I remove the dozer filter and try to create it again?

[obsidian agate]

you could just make a new "Targets" scene, keeping the old one for the time being if you still use it, then build the new scene as you go

also, for the flow chart site -> https://draw.io

ive used this for planning out a studio rewiring awhile back

[remote swallow]

I am new to all of this and trying to develop a YT channel that will mostly be based on livestreams with a few videos.

I am actually quite lucky because I have multiple computers. This is a newly self built custom desktop and I have my original 13 yr old HP DV7 laptop next to me. The desktop is based on Win11 Pro and the laptop is on Win10 Pro and I have a second laptop in another room that is 3 yrs old based on Win11 Pro. I have a previously backed up/exported OBS config for this project that I am going to import into my 13 yr old HP to examine the way the project is set up. I don't remember if that exported scene collection was exported before I built the scene with the working sequence or not but I will find out.

[mortal harbor]

i personally think drawing out a flow chart for a few move filters is an overkill, there is no reason to overcomplicate how you are thinking about something when it is simple. you place an item where you want it to start, create a move filter and get the transformation. then you place it where you want it to go, create another move filter and get that transformation.

thinking of something as "complex" doesn't serve much purpose when trying to understand it.

[remote swallow]

I kind of already had done my own old school version of flow chart for the current set up......

[mortal harbor]

i get where your head is it, but it ends up with you only knowing how to copy settings to recreate what you have already made rather than understand the concept.

when you understand the high level concept of something you can apply that to anything you want to do, so it doesn't feel so confusing when you are trying to add something to it down the road like you are now.

you place an item where you want it to start, create a move filter and get the transformation. then you place it where you want it to go, create another move filter and get that transformation.

this is essentially all you will be doing for any of what you're asking.

[remote swallow]

this kind of reaffirms how i feel about my approach then, simple is better. as far as the creativity part goes, you may feel that way but it seems you've come up with a concept and have a clear idea of how you want it to work so i don't see lack of creativity as a problem here.

so what exactly is the issue here? i know many weeks ago we had all set up how you expected it to be but it seems like you are wanting to add more?

[remote swallow]

Thank you....that just made me feel better......Problem is I have a higher bar in my head than my hands can create...LOL

This is interesting. I have imported the exported scene collection to my 13 yr old laptop for reference but when I pull up the filters window each of the effects filters comes up with "No properties available"

[mortal harbor]

probably need to install the move plugin

[remote swallow]

I was hoping to do a visual comparison for the settings.....

Good thought.....doing that now....

BINGO, thank you....

[mortal harbor]

i will be around but i am also working at the moment, may have some delayed responses.

[remote swallow]

Ok on the laptop when I open the filters window and switch over to the information scene and then switch to the targets scene I stay statically on the landfill with the images scattered on the ground. I don't get anything triggering at all on that. When I click on the eye for the bash em 01 (starting position) I get the eye flashing for the bash em 02 along with the & 02 along with the trash em 02 (all end positions) flashing but it stays statically on the landfill with the images on the ground and nothing at all happens.

Ok, I am going to back up/export what I have to save it and try to create it from scratch.....If I have more issues I will be back......sometimes as a tech you need to know when to stop troubleshooting and just rebuild....

[quiet bramble]

Discord shows me that this is a video of length 2:02, but pressing play does not start video playback, it just sits there. Other videos embedded in Discord play fine though. Thought I'd mention it in case something is wrong with the video format or something.

[remote swallow]

Thank you for letting me know.....I am almost all the way through rebuilding the sequence and having great success.....I also just saw the announcement about the scammer/hacker. I just got hit by one of those last week. I lost this account to them because I wasn't paying attention as I was multi-tasking. I reported my account being hacked to Discord Support through their website and they were able to change the hacker's/scammer's email back to my own to get my account back......

[remote swallow]

Hello again....I have rebuilt the sequence and I think I have it the way I want it. How can I "run" or "trigger" what I have set up to test it out? Do I need to be in Studio Mode to do that?

[mortal harbor]

you would just press the eye next to the first filter that you would want to trigger

[remote swallow]

Ok, would that run the entire sequence?

Nevermind....Got it and I think I have it working perfectly now!

Thank you for all of your help!

One final question, how do I get the sequence to start when I switch from one scene into the scene with the sequence in it automatically? What is the setting I would use?

[mortal harbor]

the "start trigger" for the first filter in the sequence, you'd want to set it to something that happens when you first go to the scene like the filter being shown in the final mix.

[remote swallow]

Ok perfect thank you

That suggestion worked perfectly. I just have 2 last tweaks to make and then I will be done with that Scene/Sequence. I need to start the sequence with a blank landfill image but I am currently getting this:

The beginning of that video is the previous scene, the part that I need to tweak is the fact that the new scene starts with the sequence at the end and then running in reverse and then running forward.....

[mortal harbor]

you need to move all the items off screen where you want them to start, then create move source filters with those transformations set, then trigger those to all run with a custom duration of 0ms when you first switch to the scene before the other stuff runs.

[remote swallow]

So would I set up one more filter in the sequence with everything off the screen and then put it at the beginning at the chain/sequence? Am I understanding correctly?

[mortal harbor]

it would be one filter per source, but yes.

that point is to reset them to their starting position before anything runs.

[remote swallow]

So add one more to this list that is the landfill background with everything positioned off the screen then link that to the Bash Em Start?

[mortal harbor]

sounds about right

[remote swallow]

I think I might know what I did wrong......I set up the first filter for the Bash Em Start with possibly everything on the screen just hidden so I could get everything into position one at a time as I was creating the filters......I think I need to look at the Bash Em Start and see what I've got

[remote swallow]

Nope.....I am really struggling with this......I tried both ideas to fix this problem and it still does the same thing. I tried the following: resetting everything for each "Start Level" filter where each one is starting with everything moved off the screen and then reacquiring the transform, I tried creating a new filter with the landfill and everything moved off the screen and getting the transform......I cannot figure out why I keep getting the sequence end and then running backwards and then running forwards when I switch from the previous scene to the scene with the sequence.....I took a new screen recording with the each filter's properties......

Is there anybody here?

[hard jay]

People are here, but you might need to wait until someone who knows how to answer is available.

[mortal harbor]

looking at this video it seems you missed one part i mentioned....the filters resetting these elements to their off screen position need to have a custom duration of 0ms so it happens instantly and you don't see it.

[remote swallow]

I don't understand.....which filter do I apply that to and which setting is it?

[mortal harbor]

The filters that are moving things off the screen at the beginning of the video, and it is called custom duration.

[remote swallow]

Ok, I just changed the custom duration for the first filter which is called Landfill Start Sequence but it didn't change anything. It still starts with everything on the screen and moves them off

[mortal harbor]

it should all of the filters that are moving things off the screen that you have set a custom duration to 0ms.

[remote swallow]

Isn't the custom duration the speed at which the items move?

[mortal harbor]

it is how long it lasts, not exactly the speed. so 0ms would mean it is instant and you do not see them move off screen, which is what you are saying you want i think.

[remote swallow]

Now I understand you and yes, that is exactly what was incorrect.

Thank you for catching that....

It is working perfectly now.......

[mortal harbor]

👍

[mortal harbor]

nice!

[remote swallow]

Well worth the hard work.....

I am working on creating a YT channel calling out the SM platforms and big tech companies as corrupt lying hypocrites as well as all of the criminal scumbags they intentionally allow on their platforms and monetize even though they are violating the TOS and the SM platforms know it.

[fervent marsh]

Oh, yeah, documentation in general is fucking harrrrrrd. There's a reason I was wondering if I could sponsor some work on move plugin docs rather than simply lamenting. 😉

[ruby lichen]

asking the broader community here
what's a good way for a plugin to have "trigger output" meaning if it detects something to allow other OBS functions to respond
beyond writing something to a text file (easy) - is there a standard way to publish custom events?
AdvSS can monitor settings.. streamer.bot can do the same and more (e.g. files, websocket)
is there another way so the plugin can be more useful for other plugins or functions on OBS?

[mortal harbor]

i would think advss would be the gold standard of examples for this

[torpid pivot]

websocket might be the way to go

to let clients subscribe to notifications

is there a good plugin that allows u to stream to yt and twitch at the same time

i feel twitch is easier to get monetized on but already linked it to yt but now just want it on both

[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

[dry sigil]

My elgato wont connect to my OBS

[high scroll]

how r we supposed to download this then? any video tutorials or a simple guide? im not good at github stuff

[spiral ruin]

The website at the end of the link covers it.

[dry sigil]

Anyone know why my elgato wont let me connect to my obs

[high scroll]

on github?? idk man im confused

theres2 github links

[hallow vale]

Close OBS and use the Elgato software to try and see the capture card. Does it work there?

[high scroll]

and apparently people say it needs an update

[dry sigil]

yes but i cant get obs to pop up from my elgato

to stream on YT

[hallow vale]

Are you on Windows?

[dry sigil]

yes

[spiral ruin]

Sorry, I can't help you use it. I don't use the plugin. It is the recommended plugin. There are lots of tutorials on YT.

[hallow vale]

I'm going to tag you in the Windows channel

[dry sigil]

ok

[high scroll]

alr thx anyway do u perhaps use a different one or none at all

would be happy with any working one tbh idc

is there ANY OTHER good plugin that allows u to stream to yt and twitch at the same time

hurr bot no speak

[spiral ruin]

I don't multi stream. If I did ever need to, I have a hardware solution for that. Main PC plus one ATEM Mini Pro ISO.

alr thx for tryna help hopefully i figure this out

[spiral ruin]

Bot posts are activated by user commands.
You can also look at the vertical plugin, but it has more issues sometimes than the multi-rtmp plugin.

[high scroll]

ig ill try to check it out but idk my attention span is so low bro thx tho

[high scroll]

is the plugin just the first 7 mins i cant make it 35

[hallow vale]

The beginning is likely installation, the best place to start.

I got attention span issues too, but if I wanna do something I try to buckle down and find info. You don't need to watch that video, but you do need to find info for yourself how to work it

[high scroll]

its what i said but he installs it on mac apparently i have to compress the file and then search up C:\Program Files\obs-studio and put it in there? i have no idea what to do here

bc ik to download a windows one but like which one man

i wish i still had a mac

omg i got it tysm for the help @hallow vale

[hallow vale]

Nice work! YW!

[mortal harbor]

How can I check if my PC setup can actually handle the multi RTMP plugin’s workload (including running games / other streaming software) in the background?

[spiral ruin]

Set up and do it all. See how it performs.

[mortal harbor]

I want to do a test stream on both YT and Twitch, but idk how to set it as just a private thing…

[hallow vale]

Use Twitch in OBS Settings > Stream, tick the box for bandwidth test mode

Then when you set up your YT broadcast, choose private stream.

You'll use YT in the multiple outputs dock for now.

Later you will want to switch them for ease of use

[mortal harbor]

Not just my streaming software alone, I might be also running a game in the background (optimise the best said game can)

[silent cloud]

Hey, any OBS forum mods here?
We are waiting for Andilippi's plugin: OBS Chapter Marker Manager
Could you beta-test and approve?

Or are you waiting for OBS beta to be a stable release?

[quiet bramble]

Forum resource submissions are not processed on a regular scheduled basis from what we understand, they are more when one of the project members has some time to get around to it. It usually happens within a week or so typically, however sometimes when someone brings it up here like you just did, it gets a bump. 🙂

[silent cloud]

Ah, hope someone sees my message

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, they probably will. It's 3:30am EST though, and most of them are in North America I believe.

Unless they have sleep disorder like me LOL

[vale vine]

<@&715347355565817879>

[peak hollow]

no shitposting please, see the #rules

[serene echo]

It also depends on what the team is focusing on. When there is a beta/RC/release imminent, it can take longer for plugins to be approved on the forums. I’ve had some plugins approved within a week, and others have taken 3-4 weeks.

[quiet bramble]

Yeah exactly, at busy times I'd expect other things to be a priority. Bug fixing, etc.

[silver topaz]

whats the deal with the streamlabs plug in tool?

[vapid charm]

That's something you'd need to speak with them about as I don't think anyone here happens to use it (much less know anything about it).

[untold jay]

@silver topaz It allows the use of some services previously exclusive to streamlabs desktop (like their proprietary overlay packages), with lesser performance impact compared to running their software.

[silver topaz]

How does the OBS Community knows nothing about ?

[obsidian agate]

not everyone uses that plugin, and it is fairly new

[silver topaz]

its a tab that showed up on an OBS update so how does the community not know about it

[obsidian agate]

its a plugin you installed, its not default with OBS

!sld if you need specific support with their plugin, StreamLabs has their own Discord server

[oblique yew]

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

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

[untold jay]

@silver topaz Wait, does that mean the plugin installs itself?

[silver topaz]

apparently not cause the OBS Bot says they have no support for it but yet its a tab in there program. hmm

[obsidian agate]

but this is where you would have downloaded the plugin from : https://streamlabs.com/obs-plugin

its a plugin that you installed

[untold jay]

@silver topaz This is a third-party plugin, obs-studio does not ship with that. You'd have to install it yourself, or perhaps streamlabs would install it automatically if they detect that obs-studio is installed.

[obsidian agate]

as in SLD auto installs it?

[untold jay]

@obsidian agate I hope this is wrong, but if @silver topaz is right, that seems to be the case. Their help channels are closed, so I can't ask.

[obsidian agate]

sounds like the Logitech plugin auto-install stuff from awhile back, hope thats not the case

[silver topaz]

just saying how you build a program that allows for 3third party to put things into your program and make tabs that the support knows nothing about. its weird. thats how viruses start

[strong sun]

is there a plugin that makes the stuff i add to my stream appear on my screen too

[vapid charm]

@rain quiver https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/bongobs-cat-plugin.992/

[obsidian agate]

not weird, since the plugin is from a reputable source, and the plugins on the OBS forum are validated by mods/staff before being allowed.

if you download a plugin from a random website, its the same as downloading a random app. Its up to you to be proactive in that area

[obsidian agate]

That's something you'd need to speak with them about as I don't think anyone here happens to use it (much less know anything about it).

And Sudo didnt mean they didnt know of the existance of the plugin, but that its new enough that not enough people have used it or know enough about it, so asking StreamLabs directly is the better course

[untold jay]

@silver topaz Much like most open-source software, obs-studio's main selling point is that you can extend its functionality, with or without the original author's approval or permission, and obs-studio in particular was designed to make it easy. This resulted in the creation of many great plugins - and while subjectively I find Streamlabs' plugin just as desirable as Streamelements' - that is to say, not at all - I respect their right and their decision to make and distribute it. I suppose it's an upgrade over using their fork of obs-studio, at least.

[silver topaz]

thank you for explaining that. instead of attacking the person that is asking the question like most did in this thread. I just find it odd that OBS would allow a 3rd party program to embed itself into the program and no know anything about it. but I thank you for the explanation.

[untold jay]

@silver topaz It's true that some third party applications install plugins into obs-studio and obs-studio doesn't ask for user's consent before loading them. Perhaps eventually they'll adopt the same approach as Mozilla did with Firefox, allowing third party apps to install addons but leaving them disabled initially.

But that's currently a low priority ordeal, obs-studio would first need a first-party plugin manager, and there are always a dozen more important things to add, as evidenced by its past updates and newly-made plugins.

Now that I think about it, obs-studio has come a very long way between version 20 and version 30, both as a standalone application and in regards to how much you can extend it with plugins.

[silver topaz]

yeah understood, it showed up so I thought I would ask what it does but now i know not to ask on the OBS discord page cause you only get ridaculed for not know already

[obsidian agate]

the question still remains, how did they install the StreamLabs plugin in the first place. Did they manually do it? Did it happen thru SLD?

[untold jay]

But in re: to your original question, either you installed this plugin yourself or Streamlabs downloads it automatically if it sees obs-studio.

[obsidian agate]

https://streamlabs.com/obs-plugin

This is the site you would have downloaded the plugin from

[silver topaz]

nope the only time i went there is to down load OBS and the Muilti Output source but i do occasionally use streamlabs to stream as well. So with @untold jay explaining how a streamlabs tab showed up it made sense instead of trying to make the person asking the question seem like a fool for not knowing.

[obsidian agate]

nope the only time i went there is to down load OBS

if you went to streamlabs to download OBS, then you didnt download OBS, you downloaded StreamLabs Desktop

unless you somehow went back to the OBS site after going to the SL one

and just to be clear, i am not trying to make you look like a fool or implying you are one. my apologies if i have

[silver topaz]

I have both my dude stream labs and OBS as 2 seperate programs I didnt go there to download a streamlabs plugin to embed in to my OBS thats why it was weird to me. but i got it understood. it was a me problem not an obs community problem and my bad for asking. sorry

[untold jay]

I'd rather not install streamlabs desktop just to find out whether they'll install the plugin for me.

[obsidian agate]

I have both my dude stream labs and OBS as 2 separate programs

Thank you. This leads me to think that SLD could potentially be auto-installing the plugin into the standard OBS plugin directories. This isnt something new, as i mentioned earlier as well, Logitech did this with one of their plugins i believe. The GHub one.

Something useful for some folks here to test out

[serene echo]

It honestly wouldn't surprise me, when they did the transition from Desktop, to the plugin, to have some "auto-push our stuff to the new OBS" kind of functionality.

[silver topaz]

understood now. and in the future I will just go to google instead of asking the source. its been made clear in this thread. my apology for not being as technically knowledgeable as most. again my apologies

[vale vine]

Portable obs installs ftw to avoid sneaky plugins

[obsidian agate]

YUP

i did my best to explain Portable OBS to folks at St Jude Summit

once I told them how they can test plugins, OBS updates, and just plain backup everything with ease, all of them went...

[serene echo]

Also, portable OBS installs, so that you can have dozens of OBS installs on your machine, and forget which ones are for dev, and which ones are for streaming.. 😄

[obsidian agate]

thats why they invented folder naming 🙂

PRODUCTION COPY - DONT DELETE, YOU ASS

[serene echo]

I have a bad habit of keeping old installs around "just in case".. so I've got "Streaming - 28.0.2" "Stremaing - 29.1.0" etc.. I really should just nuke the old ones.

[quiet bramble]

I had several reasons for switching to OBS portable mode installs, but one of the secondary reasons was to prevent other software from installing plugins into my working OBS setup without my knowledge or permission. A few slipped in anyway via C:\ProgramData, however newer OBS releases have changed portable mode to ignore plugins in that directory now so all is good.

[obsidian agate]

i only started using portable installs this way in 2022, but both Portable + Source Copy is SO useful for scene rebuilding

[quiet bramble]

The only downside is that I have to manually copy the streamdeck plugins into each of my OBS installations that I want to use them in. The upside is no Logitech or other unwanted plugins breaking my OBS 🙂

[obsidian agate]

thats when ya write a script to do it for ya

i need to get back to writing up an OBS Consolidation script for media files

[quiet bramble]

I put "-dev" as a suffix for OBS installs I use for development, and "-test" for those which are pristine that I use to test a new plugin in, check for memory leaks etc. I usually clone the directory, install a plugin in it, test it, then delete the directory.

[obsidian agate]

keeping a clean copy to dupe from

[serene echo]

Its the "then delete the directory" part that I forget... too many -devs. I guess I should do some cleanup.

[obsidian agate]

nest them in folders.

OBS Installs

• Clean Copies
• Dev
• Test
• Production

[quiet bramble]

I usually name them "obs-<version>-<use-case>-<suffixtag>", where use-case is something like "YouTube", "Twitch", "Journalling", "Recording" or similar. I stopped using Scene Collections a few years ago and now use Scene Portable Installs 🙂

[obsidian agate]

same in regards to Scene Collections

i have too many sources so switching collections live would be a struggle

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, I have a pristine install folder named "Releases" that is an unzipped copy of every version of OBS which I've added portable.txt too. I just clone the dir, rename it, then go in bin and set a shortcut to obs64 with an identifiable name and pin it to the start menu.

[obsidian agate]

i was tempted to have a pass-through OBS running at one point

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, in the past I encountered too many bugs with switching Scene Collections and having race conditions that hosed my setup. Some of those bugs were fixed but I still had others and didn't want to rely on other bugs popping up in the future, so I'd rather have all scenes that I might use during a stream or recording session all in one big scene collection, and use different installs for different purposes that do not share scenes.

There was a trick that could get around some of the corruptions, by making a new scene collection and calling it "Blank" and never putting anything in it, then when you want to change collections, you switch to Blank, wait a few seconds, then switch to the desired one, but I found that too hacktastic.

[obsidian agate]

yep, i did that hack a lot. Also, #tech-talk 😄

[strong sun]

Anyone know?

[obsidian agate]

if you need your chat overlayed on your game, you can use this: https://github.com/baffler/Transparent-Twitch-Chat-Overlay

but OBS itself cannot overlay things onto your screen like that

[strong sun]

Ok thanks

[strong sun]

Is there a version of that for YouTube or no

[obsidian agate]

unsure

[strong sun]

Ok I’ll check it out

[obsidian agate]

though i believe it lets you add in more than just twitch chat. it might support YT as well, i dont use it myself

[vapid charm]

You'll want this if you want YouTube https://github.com/steveseguin/social_stream

!advss @west lava The advanced scene switcher plugin can edit and refresh source properties (try the "Refresh source settings" action). Ask here if you need help with it.

[oblique yew]

@west lava

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.

[west lava]

Need a solution without using plugins unfortunately, but thank you for the help

[untold jay]

@west lava If you're writing the page yourself, you should be able to trigger a page refresh using javascript. Failing that, you can refresh manually using browser source properties, or write a lua/python script (ask in #scripting ).

[west lava]

I tried forcing it via the page in JS and didn't work😔 but if it is possible to do it via python and supply people with the script I guess that is my best option, thank you for the info!

[untold jay]

@west lava (Lua may be preferable since python has to be installed manually and you'd have to enter the path to it manually, and a limited range of python versions can be used - I think it's python v3.6 through v3.11 for obs-studio v28 ~ v30)

[west lava]

Isn't python auto installed on newer windows machines?

[untold jay]

That's news to me.

[west lava]

Oh it's not apparently, dunno why I thought that

Myb, will use Lua then, will more than likely jump into #scripting sooner or later but I'm sure theres good resources online, Ty for the info again very knowledgeable ! 💪🙏

[untold jay]

!scripting @west lava I don't speak lua or python, but I can point you to this, at least:

[oblique yew]

@west lava

A guide for getting started with development for scripting in OBS can be found on the wiki.

Additionally, you can find documentation for the scripting API here.

[mortal harbor]

How can I script transitions between scenes for perfect timing?

[mortal harbor]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/transition-table.1174/

not exactly what i meant

I already got that

let me explain my goal

Here's my stream start sequence:

1. As long as I want, there is a looping video screen saying "Billions must die with us. Stream starting soon"
2. I press a button. This screen slides out and a new screen is filled in for 5 seconds showcasing one or two things I am going to do on stream in a "now . . . . . . . . . . . . later" format. The timing is precise, somewhere between 9-10 seconds. Might possibly be done as a scene transition.
3. The audio between these slides seamlessly continues since it is one track, albeit the second part of the audio could be triggered at any time, hence being separate from the first. A timer is displayed on screen for around 20-30 seconds.
4. Whenever I choose to (usually at a 00 second mark), I will continue the sequence by displaying the short channel intro. This was reduced down into a scene transition and takes around 7-9 seconds.
5. Actual content begins here

the goal was to imitate russian tv lol

1. nothing special here, this is just a normal scene
2. two way to accomplish this, either the advanced scene switcher plugin or the move plugin
3. if you have the same audio source in all the scenes you are switching between this should work
4. same answer as 2

[mortal harbor]

🤔 about the same audio source idea

how can I script it so if I don't go through the schedule scene, then the sched.ogg part won't play?

I probably would have additional clocks for spacefiller purposes if necessary later on

it sounds like you probably should read up on the advanced scene switcher plugin, i'm sure anything you're talking about can be accomplished with macros there.

[mortal harbor]

alright

you can just set macros to whatever you want, then either have them go in a sequence based on timing or set other triggers like events or hotkeys to handle this if you want to do something manually or out of sequence.

[obsidian agate]

You can also use Andilippi’s plugin “scene as transition”, or Exeldros “browser source transition” plugin (i may be off on the name)

[mortal harbor]

what's browser source transition

i dont see how those plugins assist with them timing out changes and creating a sequence of events

i think advanced scene switcher is what i need

thanks again OBS cord

one additional question

can I change object opacity using the move plugin?

nope you have reached your daily question limit

[obsidian agate]

yep, via the "Move Value" filter

[mortal harbor]

but yeah you can use a move value filter to adjust the opacity in a color correction filter.

[mortal harbor]

alright

[obsidian agate]

here is a transition I made recently using OBS WebSocket + Scene as Transition + Move Value -> #plugins-and-tools message

[mortal harbor]

you literally linked that to them originally 😄

[obsidian agate]

HA, didnt even realize

[mortal harbor]

kek that's you

[mortal harbor]

i'm so bad at obs

[obsidian agate]

everyone was at one point

[mortal harbor]

nah i don't think so, you just don't really know something exists until someone shows you.

[obsidian agate]

hell, sometimes simply asking the question will get ones brain rolling

[mortal harbor]

new question just dropped

How do I make the move filter activate on transition away from the current scene

[obsidian agate]

you would either do that via a trigger in Advanced Scene Switcher (which i dont use myself, so i am useless with AdvSS suggestions, lol), or you use Scene as Transition which gives you a specific option for enabling a filter, such as Move Value, or you script it via something like a StreamDeck to happen as you transition

lots of ways to attack the problem

[mortal harbor]

with a move source filter there is a "start trigger", you could check if a move value filter has the same.

i'm starting to get a sense that rob may like overcomplicating things 😄

[obsidian agate]

possibly, but again, lots of ways to attack it, and to me (the person who uses StreamerBot), AdvSS complicates things (lol)

[mortal harbor]

i don't own a streamdeck

budget setup

lol

[vagrant minnow]

Could substitute TouchPortal for StreamDeck, if ya went that route, and it's free!

[obsidian agate]

no worries, there are also free alternatives FIY

StreamerBot also has its own "Deck" feature

doing anything in OBS turns into potentially multiple rabbit holes you could go down to accomplish it, which is great but also can be daunting

[mortal harbor]

what is that

[mortal harbor]

gem

i'll look into this

[obsidian agate]

its desktop Twitch/YouTube channel bot software, very in depth much like OBS, pretty decent learning curve depending on your skill level going in

[high scroll]

how can i do smth like this?? have live twitch chat and viewer count on the side

How can i make this character portraying me act like a vtubers avatar

like yk tracking ur mouth movements

blinking moving up and down a little bit

[warm flax]

Does verticle canvas work with streaming

[warm flax]

Like a overlay I use streamelements overlay

Hello
Does anyone here know what is “move source swap filter” in the new update of Move Source plugin?

[west lava]

just wanted to say thank you again btw, worked well with the plugin, ended up going with that

[west lava]

In advanced scene im having an issue setting this to 300000, any ideas?

[harsh topaz]

Why would you want to set that to 300000?

Normally you set it to 100-300~

[west lava]

because I want to check for the conditions every 300000ms? or every 5min?

it breaks my usecase if its lower than 20000ms

[untold jay]

@west lavaClick here and choose "for at least 300 seconds".

[west lava]

That worked I believe, thank you!

[harsh topaz]

Chiyo coming in hot. The other setting is the main interval which Adv-ss will check all macros.

You should indeed configure things for the individual macros 🙂

[marble kestrel]

Hey guys, is there anyone who knows how to add 7TV emote plugin to chat inside obs?

[obsidian agate]

enable BTTV/FFZ via OBS > Stream

then in the Chat dock, go to non-mod settings -> FFZ settings (thats how i get to it at least), and look for the setting for 7TV emotes

[obsidian agate]

i have screenshots if you need them

[marble kestrel]

Thanks

[obsidian agate]

welcome 🙂

[high scroll]

what do u mean?

[warm flax]

like a chat overlay to see when peole type

[high scroll]

explain more?

im not good with twitch

[high scroll]

like how can u make it clearish in the back and like idk

[warm flax]

idk how to change background but i know how to just display the chat though

i use youtube though so idk if its different wtih twitch

[mortal harbor]

@mortal harbor thanks for the help with the move and scene macro things

a little janky but I honestly think that it's my computer lagging

nice!

the audio still isn't perfect though

should I put it on its own scene which is present in both of the other scenes?

that wouldn't be any different than having source itself in each scene

hm

ok

Supposed to be a seamless thing between the two

[noble fern]

Anyone knows how to automate source switching, like in Exeldro's plugin, but so that the hidden sources stop playing, in preview mode, once we unhide and play another one?

[spiral ruin]

Adv-scene-switcher plugin should have options for that

[bright sapphire]

!advss 🙂

[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.

[noble fern]

tried it, seems you have to choose the specific source to be stopped, from the available sources list. Would be nice if a wild card could be used

[spiral ruin]

But it does it, like you asked. Just need to set it for each source.

[noble fern]

Well, it's just that, if you have a dozen sources to be played in various orders, and different ones for every show, then it is too many macros to be set in Advanced Scene Switcher

[spiral ruin]

maybe time for some spring cleaning, or organizing scenes into their own scene collections. I get it if you have a lot to create filters and conditions. Perhaps drop a suggestion on the plugin's site for a new feature.

[noble fern]

I did, yeah

[noble fern]

Just updated ADVSS and saw the option to stop all sources at once. Solved, thank you.

[queen sierra]

Oh snap! Am I reading the changelog for Source Record correctly? Is the crashing I was experiencing woth Source Record fixed? 😱

[mossy lintel]

I like how Advanced Scene Switcher and Move Transition plugins have evolved into big conglomerates compared what they were in the beginning :).

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Interesting update with the websocket vendor requests - is there an exhaustive list of the available requests, or are the ones listed for version 0.3.3 the ones that are available at this time?

[weak escarp]

what plugin?

[fossil wyvern]

lmao

[harsh topaz]

Sorry, Source Record.

[untold jay]

lmao indeed, Exeldro created enough plugins that this is a legitimate question.

[harsh topaz]

Even though I'm not sure how many of them have web socket support.

[untold jay]

Which is both funny and most impressive.

[weak escarp]

the vendor requests listed on 0.3.3 of source record are the only ones available at the moment

[fossil wyvern]

yeah it quite is

[obsidian agate]

i want to say Downstream Keyer also has websocket requests

though i dont use the more advanced aspects of that plugin yet

just the basic "yay, global overlays"

[harsh topaz]

I'd like to request ones for Filename, Path, Duration and the encoder settings when you find time 🙏

[harsh topaz]

Oh, not looked at Downstream Keyer for a while 🙂

[weak escarp]

you should be able to change those settings without vendor requests using SetSourceFilterSettings on obs-websocket

[harsh topaz]

Oh, that's good to know. I'll look into that

[fossil wyvern]

question, would that allow changing the formatting of the replay buffer while it's aactive?

[obsidian agate]

formatting of the filename i would assume you mean

[fossil wyvern]

yee yee mb

extending adv-ff for source record has been in the back of my mind for a bit

[weak escarp]

not sure from top of my head, let me check

[fossil wyvern]

oh dw, I'll do tests of my own then

[magic trout]

I'm sure this has been asked a trillion times, so forgive me, but is there a way to remotely direct through OBS... my client just wants to load it and go, I would remotely be switching scenes.

[obsidian agate]

yes, through the built-in OBS WebSocket interface, as well as external software that can make use of it.

[magic trout]

^ Awesome. I know of things like Parsec, but I find there's lag. Maybe the OBS WebSocket thing is better.

Do you know of a tutorial for getting the OBS WebSocket off hand?

[obsidian agate]

Parsec is full desktop streaming, whereas WebSockets are just sending commands

[magic trout]

ok! excellent

[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.

[magic trout]

Thank you! ❤️

[obsidian agate]

[harsh topaz]

Might be worth looking at as well

Hello, I want to record FIFA with OBS, but unfortunately it lags when I watch the video. What can I do?

[rapid saffron]

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to do this melting glitch transition in OBS (as shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTnC63LORrI) ?
Thanks in advance

[quiet bramble]

I'm not aware of any pre-existing plugins, scripts or shaders that can do similar effects in OBS, however it is technically possible. The video you linked to shows that it is using a pixel sort algorithm. Pixel sorting can be extremely burdensome on the GPU, so doing such effects in OBS on live video in realtime may be problematic, but it might be possible if one has a powerful enough graphics card. This is if one were to do it in a pixel shader, such as porting some pixel sort shaders from Shadertoy or similar. I have the notion that it might be possible to do things like this faster and less burdensome with CUDA (or theoretically ROCm on AMD), but it's just a hunch, and I don't know of any plugins doing anything like that for OBS currently.

So, TL;DR is that it is theoretically technically possible for someone to make a filter/transition like this, but unlikely that one exists currently, and it would probably need a powerful GPU to do realtime pixelsorting.

I've investigated pixelsorting algorithms in the past while trying to find a way to implement some cool FX I found in a music video (Sympathetic Symphony by Trashboat, directed by Polygon), but I did not successfully find a way to do it on live video yet.

If you do happen to find something, or someone creates a solution, please mention it here and tag me though. 🙂 I'm going to dive back into pixelsorting in the future as well sometime. Eventually we'll have FX like this for OBS but it may take time. 🙂

[rapid saffron]

ok thanks

[mortal harbor]

i am going to tag @serene echo on this one, he is pretty creative/crafty with these effects and although this one is a little different i have seen him do similar

(please let me know if you don't want to be pinged like this and i will never do it again 🙂 )

[ruby lichen]

hi everyone
does anyone have experience or knowlegde of 3D rendering in OBS?
presumably all the components are there. is there an existing plugin i can learn from?

[fossil wyvern]

not really no, the compositing only accepts 2D textures

[ruby lichen]

the underlyiing render mechanics though support 3D right? i mean it's just vertices, edges, etc. and a shader on top

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, but afaik you'd need to literally completely rewrite the core of obs to get access to that

[harsh topaz]

You'd have better outcome using a proper tool for the 3D - and then displaying that in OBS.

[fossil wyvern]

basically yeah

or if you want smth more involved, a plugin of a source that renders the 3D thingie into a 2D texture, and then passes that texture to obs

[ruby lichen]

gs_draw gs_load_vertexbuffer seems agnostic

[ruby lichen]

something like QGLView from Qt?

[fossil wyvern]

but afaik a source can only pass a 2D texture to the compositor

[harsh topaz]

Not a 3D expert sorry - I've just seen people doing 3D rendering "In OBS" by piping the feed directly from the other APP into OBS.

[ruby lichen]

sure i will flatten it on a texture, that's the easy part

[harsh topaz]

Doing the actual rendering in OBS seems... messy.

[fossil wyvern]

what are you actually trying to do

[ruby lichen]

augmented reality

[fossil wyvern]

obviously you don't need to detail any more :3

[ruby lichen]

just 3D rendering on top of the camera view
most of the rendering is transparent

[fossil wyvern]

then yeah you could render in the source internals and pass the texture to the compositor

but the compositor itself (i.e., what obs is) only works with 2D

[ruby lichen]

well... in the end everything is 2D - we have flat screens! 😄

(so far, who knows what head-worn stereo displays will do to OBS and streaming)

[fossil wyvern]

yes but 3D compositing is something, and obs could technically do it. it actually uses 3D transform matrices

except with a row and column of 0 for the Z dimension

[ruby lichen]

did anyone attempt this in the past?

[fossil wyvern]

which is what I thought you were trying to get at

attempt what, rendering smth in 3D?

[ruby lichen]

yes, 3D rendering using the OBS rendering utils

[fossil wyvern]

check exeldro's 3D effect, not 100% sure, but likely

[obsidian agate]

Or WebGL in a browser source maybe

[harsh topaz]

I would assume that the 3D is still generated by an application.

[obsidian agate]

yes, OBS, but technically via the Browser Source

[harsh topaz]

Either way, an application that actually is made for the purpose - and piping that result into OBS, is always going to be a better work flow I reckon.

[obsidian agate]

https://webglsamples.org/

many of these should be fine in a browser source

[harsh topaz]

Again, they'd have to generate the augmented reality with some sort of software.

if they're planning on doing it real time - it'd probably a pipeline of sort connecting the app to OBS.

Not sure how webgl would play into that 🙂

[obsidian agate]

-maybe-, depends on how they come at it really.

what were the specifics of the augmented reality. im picturing a google glass type of thing, where visuals are layered over a camera view of some sort

ya got my gears turning with an interesting problem to solve, lol

[harsh topaz]

I mean, there were not many specifics, my immediate thought would be getting the frames from OBS, into an app that analyzes that. Then augments something over said frame, and sends that back to OBS to be broadcasted.

[obsidian agate]

yeah, thats a question i would have as well. Would it be augmenting based on the visual data being analyzed, or would there be other sensors like gyros, etc, that do the majority of the work

[harsh topaz]

Again, depending on what they're doing - if they doing IRL streams it'd probably be better to just pipe the feed directly into an app handling augmented things, and grabbing the final render into OBS.

[ruby lichen]

No external app
All inside OBS.
This is the best experience for the users

It's possible. Just some what of a yak shave
But I've started working on it
In fact Exeldro 3d effect has a bit of what I was looking for
But the rest is fairly "simple" (ain't nothing simple about 3d rendering tbh)
Just get the vertices to the rendering pipeline after setting up the right perspective projection.
The pipeline is fully 3d capable..
Getting materials, lighting and texture mapping to work would be a challenge but not insurmountable.

[obsidian agate]

is this just analyzing the camera video, or do you have other sensors like gyros, depth sensors, etc, to help deal with that?

[ruby lichen]

Oh yes
Yes it's going to also use computer Vision for the pose detection 🙂
Somehow that's the much easier part of all of this!

[serene echo]

Feel free to ping me any time.

Regarding that effect, @rapid saffron, @quiet bramble was right on with his assessment. Pixel sorting algorithms on a GPU are very complex. I've actually been thinking about how to implement it in a somewhat smart way for a while now. I suspect that by using a multi-pass shader, you could at least get something quite close to a full pixel sort.

[bright sapphire]

<@&715347355565817879>

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Did the via FFmpeg options get removed from Source Record - or do you need to do something to enable them?

[fossil wyvern]

prolly not needed anymore can do zero-copy ones now

[weak escarp]

I don't remember having an option like that

[fossil wyvern]

you could technically access it by putting smth invalid so it falls back but eh

[harsh topaz]

I need the option to determine interval type/interval.

[harsh topaz]

Was definitely here.

[fossil wyvern]

keyint? should still be there in the new nvenc

[harsh topaz]

It basically allows footage to have smooth seeking. Without it, life is painful.

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, but it's an obs-provided encoder

[harsh topaz]

So OBS removed it?

[weak escarp]

that looks like an encoder you got from an other plugin

[harsh topaz]

Hmm..

What would yield that.

[fossil wyvern]

oh yeah might be the streamfx one

[harsh topaz]

Oh lord, don't tell me I need to deal with StreamFX...

[fossil wyvern]

yeah the obs ffmpeg one is named differently mb

[harsh topaz]

Is there an alternate way to set the interval frames without having to have another plugin involved? 😐

[fossil wyvern]

keyframe interval to 1 isn't enough for you?

[untold jay]

This looks like StreamFX.

[harsh topaz]

no, it's really awful in the editor.

[untold jay]

There was another plugin in development from.. Rodney, I think?, that adds this too.

[harsh topaz]

Yea, we came to the conclusion that that is probably what it was. I just didn't remember cus it's so long ago.

[untold jay]

@harsh topaz #encoding-talk message

[harsh topaz]

1 is basically 60. As you can see in screen I have it set to 15 so it's 4x as many keyframes for scrubbing through seeking.

[fossil wyvern]

yee was wondering whether 60 is enough for you or no

[harsh topaz]

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the player was hellish. Turns out not enough key frames to actually do smooth seeking.

Took me way too long to figure out it was the files that simply were not good for what I was trying to do.

This solved that.

[harsh topaz]

Hmm, so do need a plugin. I'll take a look.

The more dependencies the less pog 😦

I see Chiyo had similar concerns.

[harsh topaz]

That's an interesting naming scheme

Capitalized first letter and . separator.

[fossil wyvern]

same one used for the obs translation stuff

[harsh topaz]

Normally only see camelcase or underscore.

Don't think I've come across this before

Well, having to rely on StreamFX is honestly quite a disappointing bummer.

I guess that's a problem for future me.

How badly do you think it would crap itself if I sent a request to set the keyint_sec to 0.2

[fossil wyvern]

it's worth trying, and might work

some encoder parameters can actually be changed mid-encode

[harsh topaz]

I would have to actually do a recording with it after attempting because I doubt the UI would give me a proper representation of the keyframe if it ended up working.

Yea it just gives me "0"

[fossil wyvern]

oh yeah only way to do it is to bypass the UI anyways, so you have to actually check

[harsh topaz]

So who knows what goes on back-end 😛

[fossil wyvern]

by request you mean websockets?

[harsh topaz]

Would be amazing if that actually worked. I really want to make this work with Source Record alone.

Yes

[fossil wyvern]

try in obspython

[harsh topaz]

no ty, I only do JS because I'm a pleb.

Webside? JS.
Server? JS.
App? JS.

OS? .. 😏

[fossil wyvern]

use this to modify the keyint mid-encode and check if it is actually applied.
if it does, I'll make you a version that can do float and we'll check that

(only works with the main obs recording encoder)

[harsh topaz]

That looks like.. a lot. What is this supposed to be for - checking if changing the key interval actually changes or?

[fossil wyvern]

yup

[harsh topaz]

Will take a look at it later - Soccer EM just came on.

[fossil wyvern]

basically it allows to load the recording encoder's properties while it's encoding, change them and attempts to apply that change

[vast tusk]

Ok so
I downloaded an overlay for OBS
where do I get presets from
or where do I make em
or how

Or who can I ask

[spiral ruin]

Presets for what, specifically?

[vast tusk]

Like keyboard overlay

[spiral ruin]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/input-overlay.552/

[rapid frost]

hey i have qwestion how do i use obs virtual camera i cant find it

[vast tusk]

the most annoying thing for me is that Im not native english speaker and my head dam hurts from all the reading I need to do here is the main issue I have

[spiral ruin]

You are getting help in #windows-support aren't you?

[vast tusk]

and I downloaded some presets but...
they wont work for me

[spiral ruin]

I can't help with that. Most websites and downloads are probably English by default.

[rapid frost]

idkk

i dont find itt

[vast tusk]

yeah IDK maybe there is someone who can make em really quick pls lmao

[oblique yew]

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

[spiral ruin]

Make what?

[vast tusk]

a specific preset

IDK

[spiral ruin]

A preset for what? the Keyboard layout? you have to configure that yourself within the plugin, for your keyboard. The plugin comes with preset or default layouts. Just have to pick the one you need or want to use.
I don't use the plugin personally, but you can get help for it through the link I provided you.

[vast tusk]

I just cant understand how do I get rid of all buttons I dont need here and leave only buttons I need

(IDK maybe its bcs its 11pm for me rn)

[spiral ruin]

Instructions and tutorials are available on the website I linked you.

[vast tusk]

I guess Im going sleep and then figutre it out bcs my brain feels fried RN

[vast tusk]

Ok what I actually need is a good keyboard preset, with arrow keys that will be seethrough

[harsh topaz]

@fossil wyvern Daym, it actually returns 0.2 when you ws request what the keyint_sec is - but when you do a recording its still using a high keyframe. Sadge.

So I guess they just round up or something back-end.

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, the script applies to the libobs encoder settings, which is what ws checks when it requests, the question is whether those settings actually get applied to the actual encoder when they change in libobs
