hello friends, do you have any ideas for OBS chat cover/blur plugins that work on linux? with the update to 30.2, plugins for the flatpak version of OBS have to be rewritten every update and the plugin i currently use called, composite blur, has not added a version to use with flatpak OBS.

harsh topaz
serene echo
#

(to be honest, I dont even know what "flat pack" is)

#

And if the plugins will need completely separate compiles for each new version of OBS for flatpack linux, unfortunately, I dont think I have the capacity to support it.

tropic kiln
#

ok thank you for the response

serene echo
#

(apologies for my lack of experience in linux)

tropic kiln
#

flatpak is the official disribution method for OBS on linux, there's only one other official distribution and that's ubuntu/debian. the ubuntu/debian packages have worked on every distro that has a native OBS so far, it even worked with the flatpak versions up until 30.2, the new version doesn't "see" the plugin

serene echo
#

If it is a matter of updating an installer package (and not needing to have a completely separate build for each version), then I can possibly support it in the future. But without knowing anything about flatpack, it'll take me a bit to catch up.

#

I'm getting close to a 1.0 release of my new QAU plugin, and was planning on revisiting my old plugins (with some new features, bugfixes, etc..) once that is out.

tropic kiln
serene echo
#

And at that point I can look into flatpack.

tropic kiln
#

that's the only reason i know that something was up

#

that caption is from pipewire audio capture plugin download

serene echo
#

Hopefully that just means that the flatpack distribution would need a rebuild. The tricky thing is, if I have to have a separate full on build for every single OBS release, it becomes nearly impossible to support old versions of OBS.

harsh topaz
tropic kiln
#

i understand, and i do greatly appreciate your work on composite blur, it saved me so much hassle and it's a really elegant blur tool

serene echo
# harsh topaz It does say major releases, might not be that often.

Even then, it quicky spirals out. Right now I support (on windows, mac, and ubuntu) 28.0.0 - the latest, with every single build. If I have to have a 30.2, 30.3, 30.4, etc.. linux build for each new release to support back versions... it gets messy. And having back support for some platforms but not others, becomes a support nightmare.

harsh topaz
#

Ah, I see.

serene echo
#

if it is just the package manager that needs some love, its much easier, as its one build that just gets a different wrapper.

harsh topaz
#

Perhaps just support latest version for flatpak then?

serene echo
#

Possibly.. but then I'll need to go back and have some pretty significant changes to the CI/CD build stuff, and seeing as I dont do anything in linux these days.. that is a big time sink 😄

harsh topaz
#

Ah, understandable.

serene echo
#

We'll get something figured out, but @tropic kiln if Composite blur is that important, I'd recommend hanging back with the last supported version of OBS, because it might take a while for me to figure all this out.

#

I know Exeldro likes to support linux with his plugins as well. Do you happen to know if Move, Source Clone, etc.. are working with the latest?

tropic kiln
#

thank you @serene echo, hope we can find a solution soon

Heyo does anyone know how to get aitum vertical to start a youtube broadcast

#

So when you start a normal OBS stream it asks you to make a youtube broadcast, but when you start the aitum vertical stream is just goes nowhere unless you manually open your youtube dash and make a second vertical broadcast

Hello everyone. Whether 25000 Bit Rate and 248 Key frame interval is good when recording video

#

hey, qq for move transition wizards here... is there a way to coordinate the state of the same copies of a move transition filter across two different scenes?

because atm, if i have two scenes, and lets say a source that has a move source start and a move source end filter with an start and end position respectively. If i start the filter on scene A - and let's say the source is now on end position - then if i transition to scene B, that filter will not be in the same state as the state it had on scene A - it would be back to the start position.

untold jay
#

@teal stream Use "simultaneous move" so that both move filters are played.

can we connect mobile to stream in obs ?

#

obsidian agate

Can you be a little more detailed about what you are looking to do?

sleek harness
#

i want to do fifa mobile stream in my youtube so how can i connect my mobile display into the obs in pc ?

#

@obsidian agate

obsidian agate
#

So you want to connect your phones camera to OBS that is rubbing on a Laptop?

#

Ah, i gotcha now. You want to capture your phones screen in OBS. You can either get an adapter cable to connect it to a capture card on your pc.

sleek harness
#

not phone camera
i mean screen share

obsidian agate
#

There may be some software tools that can do it as well, but I don’t do any mobile capture myself

but i need to do in my obs studio in pc so i am asking if there is any option to do so

hi i downloaded the new update, but now IPHONE wont show up in source like it was - i use OBS studio iphone app to stream as a hand cam

any idea?

i would assume video capture device, i really dont know, it was always on its own i think

hallow vale

#

obs studio

hard jay
#

iphone capture is a macOS feature provided by OBS, unless you were using a third-party plugin of some kind, you want to use the macos channel.

vale vine
#

Prob 3rd party app

#

One of them needs an update to work with recent obs update

hallow vale

#

Camera for OBS Studio

#

is the actual name sorry

vale vine
mellow cedar
#

yes

vale vine
hallow vale
# mellow cedar yes

^ That one uses a plugin to connect with OBS. They likely need to update it

You can use the previous version of OBS for now. Would you like a link?

mellow cedar
#

yes please

#

it does need a plugin, i had to download one previously - so thats definitely the issue

hallow vale
mellow cedar
#

yes worked!

#

thanks

#

i also emailed the developed about the plugin update

#

does anyone suggest a better way to stream thru obs using iphone rather than a 3rd party app thats not officially developed by OBS

spiral ruin
#

Do you want to capture the screen of the iphone (in other words, the app running on it), or do you want to use the iphone's camera as a webcam?

mellow cedar
#

iphone camera to stream my hands - i open sports cards live for people

#

i have a face cam - and use iphone for hand cam

spiral ruin
#

So, phone camera as a webcam. If you have the Apple HDMI adapter and a capture card, you can simply connect that way to the pc and use a video capture source. Otherwise, it's third party apps like Droidcam, or the web service vdo.ninja.

untold jay
#

Try vdo.ninja first since it has no upfront cost.

#

(Rather, no cost at all.)

Quick one about QAU:
Once I have docks in tabs like this, I can't get them back out, right?

Goddamn.
I would've NEVER found that out.
Time to suggest a dragging functionality there.
Thanks man! 🙂

mortal harbor
#

I didn't know it until I just looked, considering it is one of the only things to click in the dock I thought it was pretty intuitive.

true atlas
#

It's clean and nice, and it works.
But dragging it back out is definitely the way most people would try to do it.
Because everything else works like that, I do it all the time to drag browser tabs between windows for example.
No harm in having both, right.

So, ADVss stuff...
I have macros that switch to my gaming scene when I alt tab into a game.
To alt tab OUT, I have one that changes to chatting scene whenever I'm in other windows.
But this takes OBS out of BRB... How can I make the macros NOT run when I'm on a specific scene?

mortal harbor
#

add that as a condition in the macro

true atlas
#

Wait. So.

#

Then

mortal harbor
#

no

#

no new macros, just a condition in the existing one to check that you arent on that scene.

true atlas
#

That is the existing one

untold jay
#

@true atlas Edit your existing macro, add a new condition, "And not" "current scene" is "scene you don't want it to work in"

mortal harbor
#

^

untold jay
#

Want screenshots?

true atlas
#

Nah, I think I got it.
The way I did it would have me add an unpause somewhere else. Your way is better!

#

Lemme see.

#

Hmmm. Close.
I'm missing one step.

#

So, it's one macro that changes to non-gaming stuff. That one is covered.

#

Then I have a macro changing to the gaming scene for EACH GAME (because some games run widescreen/support game capture, so I need specific settings per game)

#

I need to do this to each game macro don't I

#

Or is there a way for me to do one macro for all games?

untold jay
#

What macro action are you doing to determine whether or not you're in a game?

mortal harbor
#

I'm sure there is a way to optimize your setup but you're kind of in a state of "need help making any change to my setup" currently which is not great.

true atlas
#

I know 😦

true atlas
untold jay
#

Adv-ss certainly has a learning curve.

mortal harbor
#

I'd suggest taking a step back, reading the documentation, and then applying that knowledge rather than just asking each time you need to do something.....it isn't realistic to do it this way.

true atlas
#

It's the only way I could think of, for it to pick up specific games, right.

mortal harbor
#

and in this case specifically, the plugin author has taken the time to provide A LOT of good documentation.

untold jay
#

Having an array of games at different resolutions and aspect ratios certainly makes this more difficult than "just use hotkey mode".

serene echo
#

Additionally, I'd recommend slowing down a bit with your questions. Fully fill out what you are asking, try to be concise, rather than just typing out a stream of consciousness with a bunch of partial thoughts. Put it all together, cut it down to the root of your issue, and then ask that. You'll find that in doing that process, you'll in many cases probably figure it out, or figure out what you need to look for which makes learning this stuff a lot easier.

(I'm not saying this to throw shade at you.. I get it, OBS is incredibly complex, and AdvSS and other plugins take this to the next level.. we've all been there.)

OBS and plugins and whatever else, it's all the same...you need foundational knowledge. I'm guilty myself of skipping the foundationals sometimes but eventually it always comes back to bite you. Most of the questions I answer here are not things I have ever done but when you understand how something works it makes it pretty easy to get the outcome you want with mostly low effort.

heya- is there a resource on how to use javascript w/ obs websockets now that it's integrated?

I might be late to the party but I tried googling around and only got old articles w/ the external plugin. Trying to set up a javascript that changes the url of the browser scene/source in obs. Anyone done this or have a resource?

obsidian agate
#

The obs-websocket-js library works well for me

naive ice
#

oh rly? I write const OBSWebSocket = require('obs-websocket-js');
const obs = new OBSWebSocket();
and it has errors w/ that second line, so I thought it was related to the update

#

i mean, firstly, thx for the very speedy response... at least it's good inspiration to keep heading down the path I'm on

obsidian agate
#

Yeah, I use OBS web socket JS in the NodeJS portion of my channel bot, as well as in numerous browser sources.

#

I dont use “require” anymore. I use import/export at this point.

naive ice
#

ok,, will persist!

obsidian agate
#

You need to destruction the required module, and rename “default” to “OBSWebSocket”

naive ice
#

thx... typing testing :)... "SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module" but i think I'm almost figuring it out

#

ok,, don't mind me- i am making forward progress now, thx for input

Hey guys!
Is there a tool to "clean up" my OBS installation?
Log says I have StreamFX (or had it at some point).
I don't. So it shouldn't even show up, right.
And, this screenshot...

#

If I use the encoders that start with "NVIDIA", the recordings come out just black screens.

fossil wyvern
#

is this in the main obs settings window?

true atlas
#

No, it's inside the Source Record plugin

fossil wyvern
#

then might be normal

true atlas
#

Oh. Someone else told me those aren't supposed to be duplicated, and the fact the "NVIDIA" versions don't seem to work made me think he's correct...

fossil wyvern
#

it's a remainder from when source-record had to use the ffmpeg encoders to not crash

#

send a log to check, but afaik that's normal

true atlas
#

Also StreamFX showing up in the log when I don't have it

fossil wyvern
true atlas
oblique yewBOT
fossil wyvern
#

yeah no you don't have streamfx

hi everyone! so I am working with the move plugin, I had it working ages ago but I am remaking my transitions/source moves now. Any clue why enabling these filters isn't doing anything? the transform positions are set to separate positions and the actions are set like this. thanks in advance!

hanging OBS the whole time it is consolidating

#

very much not an obvious feature unless you actually go thru the process once, and even then it just looks like it freezes OBS (because it probably is holding up the main thread). You need to look in the resulting folder to see everything getting copied over.

Hmmm, so with adv-ss, how can I make it play a sequence of sources (or, I guess, run a series of macros that play sources) and have it wait for each to finish playing before continuing, without having to hardcode the length of the media into the macro? I'm not seeing anything obvious ('wait' is just to wait for a specific or random time), but I'm going to doubt that waiting on something to finish playing before continuing in a macro is something that just doesn't exist. Am I being dumb?

(I've spent like the last hour on the wiki trying to figure this out)

fossil wyvern
fossil wyvern

If so, that's not ideal, mostly because the next thing I want to do is [play one of these three things] followed by [play something else], so there's no guarantee that a specific media source will be the one that gets played. (Also it feels weird to me to have to build a big stack of individual macros just to play a set of things in sequence)

fossil wyvern
fervent marsh
fossil wyvern
#

because afaik there is no way in adv-ss to wait till another "signal" happens

fossil wyvern
#

so like when macro 1 trigger, change variable to 1, trigger macro 2 only if variable is 1 and set it back to 0 in it

fervent marsh
#

Hmm. How does that actually help, though?

#

<-- dense

#

Since you still have to do, effectively, "wait for some specific video (out of multiple potential videos) to end, to change the variable back"

fossil wyvern
#

it'll still be multiple macros, but it'd make extra sure that the second only triggers if the playing of the video was trigerred by adv-ss

fervent marsh
fossil wyvern
#

for repeating you just have to do one additional macro that retriggers the first one and increments a variable

fervent marsh
fossil wyvern
#

oh if it's not just looping it, then yeah have to duplicate

fervent marsh
#

Still really painful to have to configure all the possible choices in two different places, but that's at least a little more reasonable.

Still, not having "play this thing, wait for it, continue" as a first class construct just feels... weird.

Hi guys!
So there's this wonderful script to run other things when I start OBS.
Is there one that also puts them in specific positions on the screen across multiple monitors?

mortal harbor
#

hm not really anything to do with OBS but sure, there is plenty of software like displayfusion and others if you google for them.

true atlas
#

I have DisplayFusion actually.
That one just saves where they are, and you can set triggers to put them back etc.
But it doesn't always work, and it can't put certain programs in their places with the trigger being, when OBS opens.

So I was thinking a script for OBS, so that when it opens it loads everything AND places them.
But I get it.

I am a little worried about this; trying to keep things "free"

image.png
dark sapphire
#

what kind of writes are occurring? are they necessary for the function of the plugin?

dense perch
#

won't be a problem until we get close to 20K launches a day

#

the writes are just logs of update checks

dark sapphire
#

so not necessary on either count, gotcha.
options include

  • don't check for updates every launch (have a 3-5 day cooldown)
  • don't log update checks
  • provide a way for users to disable update checks
  • don't have an update checker at all

any combination of these will allow you to keep it free 🙂

dense perch
#

I am hoping that people are ok that their checking an update server gets logged

#

the entirely primary goal of adding update checks to the plugin is to get a definitive # of one time active users.
the update check will allow them to opt out when it detects a new update...so until the next update technically there is no user way to opt out of checking for update.

dark sapphire
#

imo there should always be a way for users to opt out

dense perch
#

agreed; so when would/should that option be presented to the user?

hard jay
#

IANAL but pretty sure it's a legal requirement for GDPR and CCPA and such as well.

dark sapphire
#

the configuration dialog should have the toggle, and it should be opt-in - either ask them on first launch, or the first time you intend to perform an update check.

dense perch
#

oh! whoa! my appologies! i totally thought I was on the obs-ndi server. so sorry! :/

#

I was wondering why OBS devs were replying! 🙂

dark sapphire
#

the good news is we have some experience in the area, and will happily answer questions such as these 🙂

dense perch
#

Should I delete my above messages?

IANAL too, but I naively don't think it is a requirement to:

  1. not check for updates
    2.not log update checks on a server

no user identifyable info is tracked (nothing that connects a user to the random obs install guid)

dark sapphire
#

no need to delete the messages, no

dense perch
#

while I am here, has OBS considered providing an official way for plugins to keep themselves up to date?

I mean, it's less about doing it perfect and more that libobs has absolutely no concept of management of a plugin other than "load a .dll/.so/etc. if present"

dense perch
#

[not so] "Small" complication of how we deal with:

  1. the dll/so file renamed and not loading both the old and the new plugins
  2. how to migrate user settings from the old to the new plugin
hard jay
#

there is a foundational change that needs to happen to support it, and we're working towards doing it.

dark sapphire
#

yeah... libobs was not designed with any kind of management in mind

dense perch
#

gotta run, but thank you for entertaining my accidentally posting in this channel!

fervent marsh
#

OBS itself doesn't even have to know a plugin manager even exists, to have a good, useful plugin manager. Are you sure you aren't over-complicating?

dark sapphire
#

We're sure. We're using the opportunity to provide a good foundation for plugin maintenance for the future, while avoiding changing everything.

#

There are a lot of baked in downsides with the current way OBS loads plugins which cause all number of headaches for us, users, and plugin developers.

hard jay
#

Building a separate manager, while certainly an option, is not exactly sustainable long-term, or something we want to invest project resources in to.

#

This is evident in practice by all the ones that have tried before that run in to the complicated issues of not having proper support in libobs for the functionality, who have all fallen in to obscurity.

#

So not just theory here, heh.

fervent marsh
#

And there's a lot of problems with everything involving plugins currently that could be resolved with few changes to obs itself. And could have been done years ago, and provided massive amounts of value in the meantime.

But I'm going to shut up now.

hard jay
#

I think "a few changes" is doing a lot of work here, but I will also exit this conversation because it's already been beaten to death.

We're working on it, at a pace that the resources and priorities of the project allows.

# dense perch n00b question: How can a plugin/module make use of `obs_module_t`? ``` #include...

The reason for me asking the above Q is because the new OBS-NDI, DistroAV, cannot assume that DistroAV's installer will always be used and kindly uninstall OBS-NDI while installing DistroAV, so DistroAV needs to:

  1. Detect if OBS-NDI is installed as a plugin
  2. If yes
  3. Show a dialog telling the user:
    1. To uninstall obs-ndi
    2. That DistroAV will unload and won't work until OBS-NDI is uninstalled
  4. not load and return false [repeat until the next launch after the user uninstalls obs-ndi and obs-ndi is no longer detected]
  5. If no, load as normal and return true

Ideally I would implement a way to migrate all Sources of all Scenes that have OBS-NDI settings to equivalent DistroAV settings. (And probably some Profiles gotchas too).

Is there a generic way to edit some config database and in one action search and replace all occurrences of OBS-NDI with DistroAV instead of having to enumerate through collections?

FWIW: Asking a plugin to wholly rename itself is not a trivial task. :/

#

So I am just looking for the recommended way to detect another plugin.

Here is the [uglier] code I am actually using so far:

bool detect_module(const char *module_name)
{
    bool detected = false;
    obs_find_modules2(
        [](void *param, const obs_module_info2 *module_info) {
            const char *module_name =
                static_cast<const char *>(param);
            if (strcmp(module_info->name, module_name) == 0) {
                blog(LOG_INFO,
                     "[DistroAV] detect_module: Found '%s' module",
                     module_name);
                blog(LOG_INFO,
                     "[DistroAV] detect_module: module_info->bin_path=%s",
                     module_info->bin_path);
                blog(LOG_INFO,
                     "[DistroAV] detect_plugin: module_info->data_path=%s",
                     module_info->data_path);
            }
        },
        static_cast<void *>(const_cast<char *>(module_name)));
    return detected;
}

Here is what I think I should be using...

bool detect_module(const char *module_name)
{
    bool detected = false;
    obs_module_t module_detected;
    auto result = obs_open_module(&module_detected, module_name, nullptr);
    blog(LOG_INFO,
         "[DistroAV] detect_module: obs_open_module('%s') returned %d",
         module_name, result);
    if (result == MODULE_SUCCESS) {
        detected = true;
        obs_close_module(module_detected);
    }
    return detected;
}

but this gives me compiler error

plugin-main.cpp:144:15: variable has incomplete type 'obs_module_t' (aka 'obs_module')
        obs_module_t module_detected;
                     ^

The examples you gave are things that would typically be done in a browser source through an alerts provider

Browser alerts don't let me use my own font that doesnt clash with my overall theme from what I can tell

mortal harbor

In that case you’d probably want to be pre-rendering these in some other software like after effects and then adding them as media sources in OBS

Right, I can choose from many font's but my stream only contain this one shown and Uni Sans. Plus it could be used on other things like Starting Soon screens, not just alerts

#

Like show one word at a time or even one letter at a time

mortal harbor
#

Not really a plugin that will accomplish the same thing without way more effort than just rendering elsewhere

visual lantern
#

Rendering them wont let me put the text into the Follow section, like right now I have it doing this, I was wanting a bit more, like the name showing one letter at a time and slide up.

mortal harbor
#

Yeah I mean, with a bit of work you could use masks and move filters to create something like that I guess.

fervent marsh

Most (all?) alert providers will let you specify your own CSS which means you can specify whatever fonts you wantf, unless I'm missing something.

visual lantern

Yeah I heard that too

But im not sure how CSS is setup to allow that

fervent marsh
#

To allow a custom font? I imagine there's tens of thousands of googleable pages that can tell you how.

Seems like it is discontinued, but not clear if it works with current OBS or not, but might be worth checking out.

If it does not work with current OBS, a more complicated setup using 2 different versions of OBS, one that the plugin works in and the current release could be set up, passing video between them using the Spout plugin. A more complex setup but sometimes that's the only way to do things.

because there's always at least one whose state is ended, so the condition never changes so it doesn't act

Got a question regarding the obs-shaderfilter by Exeldro
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-shaderfilter.1736/

I see it's possible to use them as transitions as well - some work pretty okay (like the pixelation shader) while others look... weird to say the least, e.g. the VHS one.

Is there a trick to making them work? I assume their main use is the Filters window on a source so it has the proper data available?

#

Basically, I have a scene that has my capture card and I have added it on-top as a Source Clone

#

(So I can hide everything underneath easily with the press of a button on my stream deck)

weak escarp
potent vault
#

Gotcha OkuuNODDERS

#

not sure if I could jerry-rig e.g. the VHS shader to work like I'd want it to with a transition mode so to say? As in, would it lack the required pixel / video data?

weak escarp
potent vault
#

Aaaaaah

#

I do assume that's still intended for Scene Transitions compared to Source transitions, right?

#

Seeing as when I try to use even the Page Peel transition as a source transition, image_a appears to just be... black

#

(Or rather, image_a is black if it's the Show transition, and image_b is black if it's the Hide transition)

#

I assume it's because the show / hide source transitions don't have image data from everything underneath available from the compositor?

Morbid curiosity, what is the preferred way to have a streamdeck trigger things in adv-ss?

fervent marsh
#

(I'm assuming there's a preferred way, anyhow)

mortal harbor
#

i typically just set a hotkey on the macro and then trigger that but am on a 2 PC setup so I'm using the barraider streamdeck plugin to do so.

fossil wyvern
#

I'd say probs websockets?

mortal harbor
#

that is one way, although I wouldn't know that I would consider it "preferred" and definitely not easier.

fossil wyvern
#

I mean preferred is a very subjective thing anyways.
I'd say websockets is the cleaner but more complex way, while hotkeys would be easier but maybe more prone to interference

mortal harbor
#

yeah, that is why I mentioned that I was using a 2 PC setup when doing this which would mean no potential clashing....but if you set a complicated enough hotkey it wouldn't really matter either.

fossil wyvern
#

yee, f22 for the win XD

mortal harbor
#

ctrl+alt+f6 seems like something you'd have a hard time accidentally doing

untold jay
#

Hotkeys in newer obs-studio versions expect the exact set of modifiers, so even if you bind a nonexistent-but-recognized key like F22, you still have to bind every possible combination of modifiers, otherwise it'll not work if you're actively holding any modifier. I think it's better to send websocket commands for that reason.

#

This happened because previously people would complain that a hotkey with modifiers would trigger all hotkeys with fewer modifiers (for example, Ctrl-Shift-F5 would additionally count as Ctrl-F5, Shift-F5, and F5).

mortal harbor
#

if I understand you right, what you are saying is not true.

fervent marsh
#

How does websockets actually work? It seems like it just hooks into the normal obs-websockets server, and reads events from that? ...but a streamdeck can't actually do obs-websockets, can it? It can do generic websockets, but you need to actually speak the full obs-websockets protocol before OBS will give you the time of day.

fossil wyvern
fervent marsh
#

magnets, man, how do they work

mortal harbor
fossil wyvern
#

not 100% sure on the custom but I think yes

mortal harbor
#

I am not familiar with a streamdeck plugin that allows you to send custom websocket requests

fossil wyvern
#

(and obswebsockets has a way to define custom requests that are then broadcasted as custom events to all other listeners)

untold jay
#

@mortal harbor Has that changed again since the last change?

mortal harbor
#

not sure, I've noticed the information you are working off of is normally pretty dated.

#

but yes, things do tend to change.

fossil wyvern
#

if it doesn't then yeah not sure you can use it to control advss

mortal harbor
#

not that I have seen, the barraider one is the most feature filled that I have used personally.

fossil wyvern
#

ouki

mortal harbor
#

looking at the streamdeck store I don't see any others but I'm sure I could be missing something

fossil wyvern
#

I could very well be misremembering too tbh

mortal harbor
#

btw I wasn't thinking about this until now but the barraider plugin sends the hotkey requests through websocket so there is no chance of conflict with something else.

fervent marsh
#

It'd be neat to have a adv-ss plugin for it that could have extra features like "flash this button while the associated macro is running" or similar. I've wanted to be able to have flashing buttons as a status indicator for a long time.

#

What do y'all use for inputting a hotkey like F22 in software that demands you actually press the key to assign it?

mortal harbor
#

I personally would just set whatever hotkey you want, doesn't have to be something you don't press because if you are using the plugin like the one I mentioned it is never actually doing a key press of it.

#

oh wait, nevermind I am still thinking in the 2-pc mindset.

#

still I'd just go with stuff you'd never press that are huge key combos like ctrl+shift+f10

I have a streamdeck, and have used the obs websocket and RESTful plugins. They work well, but ive moved to triggering StreamerBot actions and Move filters

#

you have to be explicit with the websocket plugin, sending json data in the request, if i remember correctly

yee but p sure vix is talking about an actual streamdeck

The app uses same protocol though

Yeah, streamdeck phone app is pretty cool, the streamdeck desktop software just sees it as another streamdeck, pretty much.

How many buttons are free on the app? Last time i used it it required a subscription

A handfull. Perhaps not useful for actually using, but good enough for testing.

Friends, apologies if this isn't the right channel or Discord for this: I'm looking for a way to have Streamer.Bot refresh the Stream Information pane after making changes to it (for instance, I can set new tags on it with the bot, but I have to manually refresh it by right clicking).

The OBS Websocket API docs have a PressInputPropertiesButton with this particular note: "Use this in cases where there is a button in the properties of an input that cannot be accessed in any other way. For example, browser sources, where there is a refresh button."

So, my question is.. does the Stream Info box count as a browser source and/or have a hidden refresh button I could potentially poke with that endpoint? 🙈 I haven't done any work in OBS itself so I'm wholy unfamiliar with its front-end. (I did work with QT a bit back in 2009, which is the same thing as saying I don't know QT at all.)

obsidian agate
#

StreamerBot itself can handle changing the stream information, regardless of anything from OBS

wispy loom
#

It's not about changing the information. It can be changed, but that change isn't refected in OBS until I manually go into OBS and right click - refresh the StreamInfo panel

#

I'm genuinely asking whether I can use that (or some other ) API endpoint to make that refresh happen. Apologies if I'm failing to communicate that, I'm not the best with wording for these things.

I'm having a little difficulty trying to make my first OBS plugin .. I downloaded the template (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate#obs-plugin-template) but when building via CMake on a Windows machine I get an error that curl cannot be found. I find that odd since curl is typically a unix program?

I suspect this error is due to propagation because I get first the following error:

CMake Error at cmake/common/buildspec_common.cmake:125 (string):
  string sub-command JSON member 'hashes windows-' not found.

It seems like the platform variable is set to windows- instead of windows-x64

Did you specify the correct preset to cmake?

#

curl is library, not exclusive to linux and we use it on windows.

# tight tapir but it has this option that i dont know what it does

OBS handles graphics in sRGB colorspace, which is non-linear, however some graphic operations need to be done in linear space to be correct. Some plugins/shaders/etc. may realize this and internally convert things back and forth as needed, while others may provide the user with options as to how they want the processing done. It is basically an option for advanced users with knowledge of colorspaces and the physics of color and human visual perception etc.

tight tapir
#

hmm

#

now dumb it down

quiet bramble
#

That is the dumbed down version.

tight tapir
#

;-;

quiet bramble
#

For the full explanation see Wikipedia articles on RGB, sRGB, as well as Luminance, Luma, gamma correction, and the Rec 601, 709, 2020, 2100 standards, and other articles online explaining it all.

tight tapir
#

so collors can be slightly off

#

but it can be for both versions

quiet bramble
#

In a nutshell, computers process color and brightness in a way that does not match how the human eye perceives color or brightness (linear RGB). Other representations of color exist to accommodate this using mathematical conversions that approximate how the human eye perceives things, and then color manipulation can be done in a way that aligns with human perception better. However, certain image manipulation algorithms are made to work in linear space, while others are made to work in perceptual space.

#

Yes, if an algorithm is applied in the wrong space, the colors and/or brightness can be off.

#

Alpha manipulates transparency and so involves blending colors together basically, so it is important that everything agrees on what a color is and how it should be blended more or less.

#

Color science is complicated.™

Welcome to the OBS community support channel. If you have a question, go ahead and ask it, and if someone is available to help they'll respond. Try to be detailed, and provide a log if you are having issues with streaming/recording (Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log). Please be patient if someone doesn't respond right away!

Sup guys!
Right, so here's a conceptual question.
I like doing "Starting stream" screens with animations that react to audio.
I currently have to do this in after effects and generate an animation on a track-based nature. So every time I want a new song I have to re-render etc.

#

I use the Waveform plugin in OBS to just have the meters there bouncy and stuff.

#

But is there a plugin, that lets me make ANY source react to audio?

#

Say, interacting with the move plugin for example, to make it "jump" on bass drum hits etc

fossil wyvern
#

having it react to specific frequencies might be a bit harder

#

it's a bit rough as-is, if you want to use it for prod I'll do you a cleaner version, but here it is if you want to test it, right now it's set to do a random shake with the amplitude proportional to the source's volume

📎 sound_shake.py
#

one note is that in only moves locked sceneitems, so that there's no interference when the user wants to move the sceneitem themselves

My plugin (DistroAV, formerly OBS-NDI) sometimes shows the localized string keys instead of the localized value...even in en-us!

Is there a known reason for this?
Is there a known workaround for this? (sort of asking the user to uninstall and re-install)

@dense perch Verify that obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\obs-ndi\locale\en-US.ini exists and contains the strings, you can change one of the localized strings to something else to verify that these strings are being loaded and used. If you renamed the plugin internally, perhaps it's trying to load localization strings from a different, nonexistent file?

@untold jetty The obs-multi-rtmp plugin has been around for a while, and if it really was malicious, someone would have caught that by now. Or at least that's what usually happens.

You have the websocket server running, and as long as the password in the remote control matches what you have set in OBS, it should work. I don't use it personally or know of many people here who do.

can you try it yourself to see if its working

because idk if its just a personal issue or if its a common thing

and i would rather not contact support until i actually know its not me

spiral ruin

yes, it works. I have Touch Portal as a websocket connection too, which is why there are two connected sessions.

There could be a lot of things, like a firewall issue preventing the network connection, aggressive antivirus, maybe a mismatched password. That's why I am saying to contact them for support. Not everyone here uses this a remote solution, but everyone at the developer's site does use it.

im not sure if obs web is the best because i was under the impression that its just a web version of obs so i can see all scenes and transition between then and look at my chat as well

#

is there any application thats like what i described

spiral ruin
#

It's not an OBS web version, it's a web browser-based remote control of the obs app. Whether the app is on the same pc as the browser where you open the remote control website, or if it's on a different pc or even a tablet in your network, it's still just a remote control interface.

^^ wonder if this is a adv-ss bug? This is with "highlight conditions of currently selected macro that evaluated to true recently" enabled. Should it be evaluating the second conditional at all if the first conditional is false? Not a big deal in this particular example, but seems like it potentially adds a lot of load if the second conditional is something heavyweight like video matching.

(and it doesn't appear to be doing that just because I'm looking at it)

quiet bramble
#

I would think with "and", that the second condition should not get tested.

#

If it were "or" then both would need to be tested.

#

logically that is

fervent marsh
#

That was my expectation. But seems like that's not what it's doing! So either... bug, or non-bug that could turn into an absolutely trivial performance optimization.

fervent marsh
#

^^ unrelated, that's weird... this appears to evaluate to true even when no source in that scene is playing. They're all hidden, even.

#

I realize there's some inconsistency with like... stopped vs ended and such, but this is just a bunch of completely normal media sources playing local files.

#

I am confused by this. :/

fervent marsh
#

writes code to show all meda states via obs-websocket Wow. Two things "playing" that aren't even visible. So in a scene with 11 media sources, none visible or actually playing, I have... 7 in state ENDED, two in state NONE, and two in state PLAYING. Well that's really something.

Quick question about QAU.
Can I use the source search to find sources that aren't being used in ANY scene?
Without knowing their names?

mortal harbor
#

a source cannot exist without being in at least 1 scene

fossil wyvern

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

I mean...

#

even if you go by "source" = input, there are inputs that aren't in any scene

mortal harbor
#

I am not following

fossil wyvern
#

global audio sources for example

mortal harbor
#

those are global, they are in every scene

fossil wyvern
#

afaik, if you enumerate the sources in the scene, they won't show, so, they aren't really "in the scene"

mortal harbor
#

this is sounding like a "well actually" moment, I'd rather just wait to hear the context of what Rod is asking

fossil wyvern
#

oh it's 100% a well actually

#

but the thing is, it's possible to create sources that aren't in a scene (though not in the default obs ui)

fervent marsh
# fossil wyvern it's morre of a macro tool than a general "can do anything"

Yeah, but "pause for X time" is pretty normal in a macro (and it can do that). Wanting to be able to see that time doesn't seem like much of a stretch from that. There's even functions for manipulating the amount of time a macro is waiting. Just nothing for retrieving that time on a timer, that I can find.

I could just have some lua handle the timer part, but how do I sync that with a macro?

a) Use notepad++ or another text editor with bulk find-and-replace functionality to fix absolute paths

@normal flicker If you need to move the config between PCs that are in LAN, setting up a SMB share would let you use SMB paths (\desktop\share\file.png) instead of file paths (C:\share\file.png). Those paths would remain the same between PCs.

# obsidian agate gotcha. as long as it isnt blatantly plugging the channel, its generally fine. ...

What I find kind of funny is that many people both innocently and nefariously spam links to their content in online socials like Discord, Twitch chat, YouTube comments etc. while providing no value to anyone who see/receives it, and causing many to be annoyed our upset with them for it in the process. They are extremely unlikely to get any meaningful number of clicks that result in an increase in viewership etc. in the process. However, if they just simply fill out their Discord profile with links to all of their socials, and a friendly blurb about themselves in their bio, then the information is there for people to find them if people decide on their own to find them. If they then engage in communities in a friendly helpful manner that provides people with value, a much greater number of people will be highly likely to become more curious about them and click on their bio, opt-in and possibly follow them on their socials without having to promote themselves at all. They'll get more followers whom are more meaningful because they decided to seek it out, than they would have got from just link drop spam.

#

But it seems so many people out there don't understand the concept of the exchange of value, so they go about it from a self-serving perspective that fails the mechanics of value exchange.

Hello I have a question how to install plugins for obs I would like to know if you help me thank you

quiet bramble
#

Assuming you're on Windows, plugins come either in an EXE file that you download and install or uninstall like any other piece of software for Windows, or they come in a ZIP file archive. Always get the EXE file if it is an option. If there is no EXE and just a ZIP file, make sure you are downloading the actual plugin ZIP file and not the source code. You need to unzip the contents of the ZIP archive and copy the contents into the correct directory of your OBS installation manually, and typically have to figure that out for yourself. It is a good idea to read the documentation/instructions for any plugin in case they give any additional info. Plugins installed by copying files into OBS's directories like this can not be uninstalled later, you're on your own to find and manually delete every file.

Well if you were trying to install the current version of scale to sound, that's not gonna work

#

It requires obs 30 or newer

#

And not sure why you deleted the log url

hi my obs keeps crashing each time i try to close the app and freezes when putting the canvas size to 5120x1440. i believe it has something to do with the plug-in source play.. ahs any1 got any advice they could share?

Hey I've recently wanted to start streaming again. It has been some time so I dont really recall everything but most of my stuff seems to be in check but everytime I start OBS I get following message:
Does anybody know how to update those two and maybe help me out.
Thanks in advance

Hello there,
I have downloaded a plugin from obsproject.com and I don't know how to install it. It is not like I am used to a .dll and .pdb file or a data and obs-plugins folder. There is no install guide on the github or the obsprojects.com page, just The install process for the plugin is the same as previous versions.
The files in the folder look like this: What do I have to do?

probably its just meant to be added as a browser source. So add a new browser source and point it to one of those html files.

honest wadi
#

ahh and the other one is a custom browser dock? This seems logical

torpid pivot
#

yeah that makes sense

honest wadi
#

Thanks for the help :)

Wow, this is pretty wild. New Meta AI Segment Anything Model (SAM2) that can isolate individual objects in images or video, and is open source. This will make an amazing OBS plugin some time. https://segment-anything.com/

#

Someone already made a GIMP plugin with it also.

CC-BY 4.0, the minimum to avoid contamination or restriction (and keep ownership).

#

The tech looks pretty wild. I played around with their demo. I wonder what kind of horsepower it would need in order to process 1440p/1080p 60fps video in realtime.

#

Hmm, SAM2's licence is Apache-2.0, BSD-3-Clause licenses. I'd have to double check my memory, but I believe the BSD 3-clause would make it GPL incompatible, so to use this with OBS it would have to be a standalone program passing video in/out via Spout likely.

#

Oh, my bad... it is the BSD 4 clause license that is incompatible.

#

It's been a while... 🙂

#

So it might as well be the BSD Santa Claus license in this case. 😛

solar dust
#

BSD 3-clause (e.g. Chromium) has no problem with GPL like MIT (if it was not the case bundling FFmpeg is a no-go which means no media in a browser).

But Apache 2.0 can be GPL v2 incompatible if the later doesn't allow upgrading to v3 (so GPL-2.0-or-later works but not GPL-2.0-only).

#

If you are not compatible with GPL v3 (and/or GPL v2), the license is far from being open source.

Hi there, i am trying to use streamerbot with my OBS but for that i need my websocket to work, i installed version 5 as i have the latest obs update, but whne i turn websocket on under tools it just comes up saying there is a websocket authetication error. How do i get my websocket to work?

quiet bramble
#

You do not need to install a websocket plugin in OBS anymore, it comes with it, uninstall any websocket plugin you may have installed.

remote cargo
#

ok tHANK YOU

quiet bramble
#

no prob

remote cargo
#

i unistalled it just says the same thing

quiet bramble
#

be sure to restart obs

remote cargo
#

yeah i have

quiet bramble
#

Make sure websocket is set up in OBS properly, and there's no firewall blocking access to it.

Okay so asking about the shaderfilter once more - Individual sources don't have access to a "framebuffer" that's rendered underneath them (or perhaps the main renderbuffer that's shown without them already?)

#

To bring back in what I wanted to achieve:
I got a "Games" scene that also has a source clone at the very top which basically shows just the game / capture card when I enable it (a "Cutscene mode" so to say)
All other things are still active behind / underneath it (audio and such)

#

I assume the better approach would be to just do a separate Scene alltogether and have the "Games" scene as a whole, and then the source clone above it.
Then I'd just do a custom show / hide transition for that scene

#

however - I am not sure if there's a way to have a custom transition depending on which scene I transition from or to (e.g. Games -> Games (Cutscene) should be different than Idle -> Games (Cutscene) and such)

@potent vault
> I am not sure if there's a way to have a custom transition depending on which scene I transition from
I think the plugin for that is called either transition table or transition matrix. One of them is deprecated and links to the other.

potent vault
#

Transition Table would be the new one then, with the last update being in October 2023 (so about a year ago) - I assume there weren't any huge changes in OBS that would break it

vale vine
#

Transition table still works well on current obs

potent vault
#

Alright good to know, I think I'll go with that then OkuuNODDERS

#

And I assume the best way to handle e.g. muting a specific audio source or similar would be through the Advanced Scene Switcher, seeing as Stream Deck isn't sending multiple messages over at once

#

(They seem slightly delayed from one another)

vale vine
#

ASS is most likely the way

potent vault
#

Neato, I have that setup for 2 meme scenes already lordmaLUL

#

Oh, one more question - Though I feel that might be out of scope, or maybe there just... isn't a way to do that via. a plugin.
Is there a way to prevent switching to a scene when manually clicking it in the list?

vale vine
#

Studio mode

potent vault
#

So being in Studio mode all the time in that case

#

(Optimally, to prevent that)

vale vine
#

Aye

potent vault
#

Which in return uses up a good chunk of screen estate for the live preview (e.g. to see alerts and such)

vale vine
#

Buy big ass 4K panel. Everything is solved with money

quiet bramble
#

Or someone could make an "Are You Sure?" plugin 🙂

potent vault
#

A "hold down shift or control" plugin would be neat tbh

#

LIDL Studio Mode KEKL (For this specific thing at least)

#

As for 4K monitor - used to have one, but different resolutions and DPI issues... made me resort to just 3x1440p instead

quiet bramble
#

I weighed the pros and cons of going to 4k back in late 2019 for future display upgrade planning. Did a bunch of research on what I wanted to end up with, and decided that going 3x 2560x1600 was the best solution for me than 3x 4k due to a variety of factors. The biggest of which was GPU pixel pushing $$$litude.

#

One display uses roughly half as much GPU oomph as 4k, and all 3 uses 50% more than 1 4k display

#

It's not exact, but ballpark enough

potent vault
#

combination of ASS and TT (obvious pun intended) seems to work well with the 2 separate scenes OkuuNODDERS

#

Now the only remaining thing would be the "Oh God Please Dont Let Me Switch Scenes When I Accidentally Click On Them" plugin

#

For which I don't even know if it's possible to write a hook for OBS base code to prevent that unless you hold down a button

#

(On another note, I did want to look into the SceneTree plugin since it's got incorrect padding for the entries

Scene corruption?

quiet bramble
#

Similar to problems OBS used to have internally where scenes and sources would get randomly duplicated, deleted, etc. due to internal corruption.

potent vault
#

Uhhhhh I don't see an open issue for that on their GitHub repo

quiet bramble
#

It used to trash entire scene collections

#

Cool, I'll have to look into it sometime

potent vault
#

I do recommend making backups

quiet bramble
#

I had a python script that used filesystem notification to commit OBS config file changes to git, but don't have it handy now

#

Gotta recover it off my old PC one of these days.

obsidian agate
# quiet bramble Did they fix the scene corruption problems it used to have? I was leary of tryi...

ive been using SceneTree since it was released and never ran into an issue where it messed up my actual scene collection.

The only issue i found was due to third party plugins crashing when I quit OBS, and sometimes the SceneTree organized list would be reset to a blank collection, possibly due to some sort of race condition.

But that was the SceneTree list being reset, not the actual SC itself

is there anyway to stream to both youtube and twitch in 1080 for free?

oblique yewBOT
obsidian agate
#

you can use the MultiRTMP plugin linked above.

Just remember that Twitch doesnt have a high enough bitrate allowance to support "good" fast paced 1080p60 content

#

but otherwise, yes, you can stream to both services for free at 1080p (or higher, or lower)

i want to try to build my streams, thank you, i dont really understand how to use it tho, as the github page doesnt have any straight forward installation guid. or im too dumb to understand

#

im on windows

#

thanks for the quick resopnse, i didnt expect it 🙂

#

im using restream.io atthe moment, but that only supports 480 for free.
