thanks, heres hoping i can get it working 🫰

obsidian agate
#

it will appear in your Docks menu as "Multiple Output"

there you can add the different outputs manually and their settings.

#

just remember that these are extra "outputs", which can prevent you from changing settings if you forget that they are active

#

Or it is included automatically from obs general settings. It is very simple to use. But we are taking advantage of the existing internet upload.

heya! is there a way to read chat go through scenes on obs? i used streamlabs before but my game started to experience big fps drops so im switching to obs but with streamlabs there was this app where you could control everything and im just wondering if theres something simillair to obs

!remote
This guide covers remote control of OBS. As for viewing the chat on a secondary device, the easiest method is to simply watch the stream on another device, or use a thirdparty chat overlay that runs separately and can show over the game itself. Some remote control apps like Touch Portal can be set up to show chat, but I'd recommend using a tablet to be able to size it to something readable.

oblique yewBOT
#

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.

hey ! can someone help me to configure voicemeeter in order to have a better mic sound when i stream pls ?

spiral ruin

I've tried helping a few people with Voicemeeter both IRL and online a number of times and I agree that the best place for people to get help with that is in the Voicemeeter discord/community. The software is really advanced audio manipulation and ultimately targets more expert users, so it can be very frustrating for people to get it to work and understand what all it is doing and the flow of audio etc.

#

Very challenging to do over Discord in a short time period, and without people having huge frustration.

#

The VM community is used to supporting it and has a lot of people well versed.

I love OBS, but I need to use it on my school's chromebook for recording/broadcasting sports events with overlays and whatnot. Because it is my school's computer, I cannot install Linux on it. Is there an OBS alternative that would either run on ChromeOS, or I could use in the web?

If you are brand new to using Voicemeeter, I highly recommend not trying to use it immediately for filters and effects on your mic. Use this guide for learning how to use the effects and filters available within OBS.

@spiral ruin , what about for Windows? Is there a web-based alternative to OBS with overlays?

spiral ruin
quiet bramble
#

I can't imagine something running inside of a web browser doing what OBS does implemented in javascript would use less resources than OBS does. πŸ™‚

spiral ruin
#

right?

quiet bramble
#

Never seen one personally but aren't they like the weakest weaksauce of notebooks at a lowest price point type situation for basic tasks, kind of like a tablet with a built in keyboard?

reef raven
#

@spiral ruin everything is th done with the mic no problem but i dont have the sound anymore in my ears apart of the sound return of voicemeeter. what's wrong ?

spiral ruin
quiet bramble
#

Just looked some up on Amazon and a Raspberry Pi seems to have more powerful hardware πŸ™‚

spiral ruin

#

There are also great tutorials on YouTube for the basics of setting up Voicemeeter with OBS

spiral ruin
quiet bramble
#

I suppose maybe something like that with wifi and remote access software acting as a networked dumb terminal might be useful in bed for reading the news or watching a video or remote LLM or other things, while being cool and lightweight and more maneuverable.

#

What kind of battery time do you get on a full charge?

#

I'd like to build a homemade tablet for a use case like that some time using Pi or clones

spiral ruin
#

8 hours with screen at 50% brightness during the day. Less when I'm watching YT and using my bt pods to listen.

not bad, I'd probably run at lowest or one notch higher brightness at least at night

Has Anyone here used Scoresight before? Looking for some reviews on it. I currently have a custom scoreboard software I use, but it’s a pain to always be trying to match the live stream timer with the in house timer. If scoresight has low enough latency, I would be super Interested in using it for the time and use my software for scoring

Looking at the demo video it seems to be exactly what I’m wanting.

#

ok i merged the ones i thought would be better to merge but it still doesnt go smaller as i need it

#

i need it to be 1080 length wise to get it on my 2nd monitor

#

I mean, at this point why not just use floating docks?

idle atlas
#

i do but then if i minimise obs it minimises my docks

don't minimize obs, just leave it there and bring the floating docks to the other monitor?

hello i recently downloaded the plugin for streamlabs for my obs and now i get an error. it is authentication error it says failed to authenticate with twitch: failed to get token from remote:the requested url returned error:400

trying to figure out how to reauthorize my obs

spiral ruin

#

it allowed me to autorise the streamlabs in my twitch but not the obs

#

should i try redownload obs?

spiral ruin
#

No. Adding the plugin does funky things to obs, like this.

im going to try and reconnect my twitch to obs

so i think reconnecting my account worked because it was not picking up my key for stream

fervent marsh
#

Hmmmm. Anyone have any thoughts why a hotkey I set up in a obslua script would work if I trigger it as a custom hotkey via adv-ss, but not if I trigger it more directly with an OBS hotkey?

#

Oddly, I set up two hotkeys, and one of them works both ways.

hard jay
#

how long is the hotkey held?

#

our hotkey thread ticks every 50ms, iirc.

#

so if it's firing and not being "held" long enough, it could be missed.

#

unless I'm misunderstanding the situation

fervent marsh
#

^^ I'm specifically talking about this feature in adv-ss, which I believe triggers the hotkey directly without having to go through the polling for it or anything. And that doesn't work.

But if I actually bind a hotkey combination and call it via the "custom hotkey" setting of the same action type, which actually sends the keystrokes, it works. But I'd rather not have to bind actual keys to things if I don't have to.

hard jay
#

ah, very good then.

#

no idea anything about adv-ss, heh

boreal hearth

#

I haave two hotkeys set up identically in a script. One works like this. The other doesn't. I'm trying to figure out why.

#

Using the 'obs hotkey' functionality shouldn't ever touch anything involving keystrokes, yeah?

quiet bramble
#

Oh, script generated keystrokes... my bad, I was thinking of key activations.

#

@vagrant minnow@tall bolt Streamlabs installs either a service or a background task that automatically updates this plugin. Try killing the updater's executable and removing it.

can i have one scene with 1920 x 1080 and another with 3840 x 1080? i kept messing up so im forced to stream with a different service, and regular videos for obs (3840x 1080)

Hey guys!
Back with new issues. Hahahaha
Uninstalled QAU so I can now start OBS in normal mode.
It's working.
But if I ever try to drag a dock, it crashes.
I thought it was because of jrDockie, but I uninstalled that and it's still happening...

mortal harbor

but let me guess, if you run OBS as admin the crashing stops?

Hi every one. I am using StreamController and wanted to connect to OBS. However, it seems I am missing a plugin that was supposed to be as core as of v27 and I have the latest OBS version.

Guys!
I think I just discovered a reson for running OBS in admin mode. Even if temporarily.

#

Mine was crashing whenever I tried to move any docks.

#

Apparently, running it in admin mode lets you move the docks.

#

And then you can go right back to non-admin.

vale vine
#

Mitchell advised that 8 hours ago

Screenshot_20240801_181255_Discord.jpg
#

Though it's probably due to a plugin because I never run obs as admin and can move my docks just fine πŸ˜‰

fervent marsh
#

I wonder what the failure path is, there.

mortal harbor
#

it is some nonsense with Qt....I'd expect Failed to create swapchain for window flushed with an RHI-enabled backingstore is in his log as well.

serene echo
#

I can almost guarantee it is QAU. Its Alpha for a reason.. πŸ˜‰

#

I'll be looking into Rod's issue, crash log, and scene collection early next week (out of town for a few days right now)

mortal harbor
#

his issue was after uninstalling QAU though, and it matches up with a known issue.

#

oh, you mean the crash πŸ˜„

#

duh

serene echo
#

The crash log he opened an issue with, it looks like it is trying to reference a source that doesnt exist, and is having a null pointer issue. (Granted that was just a 5 second glance at the log). I know that in the loading script there isn't any checking for valid pointers in that version. Should be fixed with the big core re-factor I am working on.

serene echo
mortal harbor
#

sounds like you didn't realize he had an issue after QAU was gone and I didn't realize he had one before

vale vine

Everybody right, everybody wrong.

Mans a legend, put a name to it πŸ˜›

true atlas
harsh topaz
#

Was adv-ss spamming log messages or? I dont think I was part of the initial issue

true atlas
#

Dot thinks a particular part of the log could be causing, at least in part, my OBS performance issues.

#

This

#

19:39:07.904: [adv-ss] detected busy loop - refusing to sleep less than 1ms

harsh topaz
#

Why do they think that? Looking at the log is is being logged like 6 times a minute at max.

#

I wouldn't think writing a log entry every 15 sec on avg would be performance killing?

true atlas
#

She didn't give a reason

harsh topaz
#

Feels more like you have something not configured optimally if you're spamming adv-ss so much that its telling you it can't do it because its busy.

true atlas
#

Yeah I went through and unchecked the macros that had "run this parallel to other macros"

harsh topaz
#

I've not personally had issues with using the parallel function. How often is your interval set to update in the general settings?

true atlas
#

The default 300ms

harsh topaz
#

Shouldn't cause issues either, huh

#

Anything under 100 I found could cause issues (again, only personal experience).

true atlas
#

I mean I guess that's good. It means that's one less place to look for the cause of my issues

harsh topaz
#

If any log is causing issues, streamelements.

#

That's like 30 times in 100ms

true atlas
#

Yeah I've been thinking of ditching that

harsh topaz
#

lol

true atlas
#

Streamer.bot could probably replace all the functionality

harsh topaz
#

It spammed like 800 lines in the span of a second.

true atlas
#

And browser sources are more resource-hungry than GDI text right.

obsidian agate
harsh topaz
#

I don't think there's a huge performance difference there. But I honestly can't tell if this does or does not have a performance impact ( the logging ) but if Dot pointed out logging, I'm simply pointing out these are way more spammy than adv-ss.

untold jay
#

I wish we could disable browser logging or redirect it to another file. If web developers need this, they'll probably prefer a separate file anyways, everyone else doesn't need to see this.

obsidian agate
#

(granted, most of my browser sources were hand written by me, and do very little during idle)

untold jay
harsh topaz
#

or, per 2ms.

untold jay
#

Allegedly SE themselves were asked about this and actively refused to reduce log spam.

true atlas
#

So the main stuff I'd be looking to replace with SE is

  • Alerts
  • Clock
  • Nowplaying
  • Events rotation widget
  • Chat(s)
obsidian agate
true atlas
#

These things are all separate because I don't show all of them in every scene, and when they do show, they're in different positions in different scenes

untold jay
#

As soon as you run any javascript, your CPU usage delta will be an order of magnitude higher than anything gdi could use.

harsh topaz
true atlas
#

But I guess it'd be neater if I could have ONE utility scene with all of them, and use SB to show/hide and move them around

obsidian agate

#

yea, recall trying to use has(?) in the css and it didn't work. Looked up when that was implemented, cef was outdated. Sadge :p

# spare iris does advanced masks plugin have solid black overlay?

Not sure what you mean by β€œsolid black overlay”? Adv Masks applies alpha (transparency) and color correction masks. If you just need a black solid over the top of something, a color source set to black would be what you want. You can use advanced masks shape mask on it to change its shape.

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

  1. Restart OBS Studio first!
  2. Start your stream/recording replicating any issues (meaning having any games/apps open and captured, etc.)
  3. Stop your stream/recording after 30 seconds or after the issue has occurred

When in doubt, check if adv-ss has this feature. It probably does, or probably will.

true atlas
#

Hahahaha makes sense!
Ok so now, for a follow up.
I have the text source set to a size, which means it's not changing size depending on what's in it. How do I change this?

untold jay
true atlas
#

That's reset transform. Hmmm when I reset, it goes back to "no bounds"

#

That's not what I want, is it

fossil wyvern
true atlas
#

I mean, do I need it to have a bounding box?

fossil wyvern
#

if you want a bounding box sur, but the source size that adv-ss looks at is the size before all the transform, so putting a bounding box does not affect it in any way

true atlas
#

Ah, ok.
Almost there now.
There's no way to animate a fade when the GDI contents change, right.

#

(This is a nowplaying thing, It'd be cool if the song titles faded in and out)

untold jay
#

@true atlas Make 2 sources, set their hide and show transitions to fade, have adv-ss toggle visibility of both of them when the file's contents change.

true atlas
#

RIGHT, cuz AdvSS can look at files on the HD, of course. Awesome!!!

Hi! I'm here for some support regarding a specific type of functionality I'm looking for. I'm running an online radio station through OBS. We have specific times of the day that we go live but our stream PC is a bit hidden away so manually starting and stopping a stream is a bit of a hassle. I'm also using an audio stream tool called BUTT (broadcast using this tool) and it has this neat little feature that it automatically starts streaming when it registers audio input. I was wondering if there are any plugins available that enable this functionality for OBS as well.... Do you guys have any idea?

obsidian agate

#

Thanks Rob!

#

obsidian agate

untold jay

Would you prefer CLI?

oblique stream
#

Thanks @untold jay for your suggestions! I'm already using Anydesk as a failsafe. But since we have a lot of DJs coming in and out I want to automate as much as possible

obsidian agate
untold jay
#

@oblique stream The advanced scene switcher plugin can start streaming when audio inputs levels go above a threshold. Not sure if it's a good idea, since stray noises like a distant train honk might count, but you can try that.

#

@obsidian agate Never mind, it was supposed to be funny.

oblique stream
obsidian agate
untold jay
#

@oblique stream Install it, go to tools > advanced scene switcher, on the Macro tab add a macro, add a condition "If Volume", choose an audio source, then add an action "system tray notification", activate the advanced scene switcher on the General tab, verify you're getting a tray notification whenever loudness goes above -inf dB, then you can change the action to "start streaming".

#

!advss

oblique yewBOT
#

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.

obsidian agate
# jolly nexus is there a way i can lower the fps of a specific source?

  • Browser Sources can have a custom frame rate set. I believe you can select a media file as the browser source instead of a URL or local HTML file

  • Media Sources can have their speed adjusted by percentage, so calculate out the percentage change you need based on the framerate difference

#

outside of those 2, off the top of my head, i cant think of other sources that can have their framerate / speed adjusted.

#

I have a feeling that a shader filter could manage it as well

jolly nexus
quiet bramble
#

Shaders alone can't repeat a previous frame or access a previous frame, so it'd have to be a plugin or LUA script that keeps the previous frame.

#

Shaders can only see the current texture.

obsidian agate
quiet bramble
#

Yeah, it'd be possible to do something like that on Shadertoy website though, their shader interface allows multi-pass and custom buffers. Would be nice to have something like that in OBS sometime. I haven't kept close track for a while but I don't think we have anything like that out there yet.

#

It'll be fun if/when we do though as it'd make it possible to convert zillions of more Shadertoy shaders. πŸ™‚

obsidian agate
#

and technically it can be done via OBS WebSockets and periodic screenshots, with something like scripts or AdvSS to swap out an Image source's URL with the dataURI from OBSWebSocket

quiet bramble
#

Makin hax thinkin outside of the box ++ πŸ™‚

obsidian agate
#

maybe using a Browser Source or the Async Image Source plugin would be better, due to Image Source being Sync normally

quiet bramble
#

I do think it would be quite easy to do it in a LUA script though.

#

I'm pretty sure there is a frame counter

jolly nexus

Could use OBS virtual camera to export the scene/source as a virtual cam, go on Shadertoy website and write a shader that uses webcam input using the OBS virtual camera, half the frame rate, capture the browser. πŸ™‚

Is there some kind of plugin to use to make your stream brighter? When it gets dark in game It's way too dark that you can barely see anything, and it makes it look pixelated.

untold jay
#

@runic skiffYou can add a color correction filter to your game capture source and raise the gamma value, but this will introduce some color banding, it's preferable to use the in-game gamma setting, or install reshade and use a dynamic tone map filter.

contrast+brightness in color correction filter. Contast compresses the dynamic range, and brightness can keep everything in the brighter side of the full range. Darks get more compression artifacts as the human eye doesn't distinguish color as well in dark areas, so it will look more blocky. It isn't noticeable at good bitrates, but if you're streaming on say... Twitch, you'll get blurry lego blocks.

Hey all! I'm trying to use the NDI plug-in to get both an iPhone and an iPad (same network, 5 GHz, Bluetooth enabled, same Apple account) to connect to OBS, but it never sees the iPad, only the iPhone. OBS Camera app is installed on both devices. I have uninstalled OBS and reinstalled, and uninstalled and reinstalled the plug-in, but the iPad never shows up. Any ideas?

Hey guys!
In AdvSS, how do I tell it to NOT run a macro in every scene that starts with the same prefix in its name?

#

Like all my actual scenes that show on stream start with MS.
Then I have a bunch of "utility" scenes that start with SS.
It's annoying to have to stop AdvSS to edit them, cuz it'll keep switching away from them.

untold jay
#

@true atlas You'd have to add conditions one at a time, but better yet, add the adv-ss dock so the button to disable it isn't too far to reach.

true atlas
#

Yeah right now that's what I have, the macro switches to the "just chatting" scene, when it detects I'm focused on any processes that aren't games.

#

But then I had to manually add the scenes where I don't want that to happen, like BRB

#

I was hoping for a way to like, "Whenever I'm on a scene that starts with SS, don't do it"

#

Can't do that then?

#

I have the hotkey to toggle AdvSS on the streamdeck, but it's annoying not to have feedback of whether it's running or not. I guess the dock does that, right.

#

Now this is real weird... I can only mess with docks in admin mode.
If I do ANYTHING dock-related in normal mode, OBS crashes 😦

hallow vale

# true atlas I have the hotkey to toggle AdvSS on the streamdeck, but it's annoying not to ha...

You can have a macro that pauses and unpauses the problematic macros. Then tie the trigger condition to the visibility of an invisible source (e.g. an image source with no image), and then bind a streamdeck button to the visibility of that source, and you'll be able to turn things on and off from the streamdeck and have the state of the streamdeck button show you whether or not things are disabled.

#

I've actually started using dummy sources as kind of flags or semaphores to set things for adv-ss to act on. So like... I have a startup sequence, and there's options in it for the last part to be a long version or a short version... and there's an option for it to enter a hold at the end, rather than going live. And I can press the buttons for those options at any point before it actually gets to that part, and I can look at my streamdeck and tell at a glance which options are active at any given time.

#

It actually works... pretty well.

OH, i see what you are asking about. you want the original image to show thru with the noise applied to it

i dont believe the shader itself supports that

you would need to make another source (id suggest a simple "Color Source"), position it above the source you want to add the noise to, then adjust the noise sources blending mode, as well as its opacity via a Color Correction filter

You're going to probably have to state the full proper name of whatever plugin it is that you are using because "source plugin" is rather vague, so nobody is likely to respond until they know what it is that you are using and trying to do and what specific problem it is that you are having. Be more descriptive. More information is better than less information.

Hmm. Is there any way to get adv-ss to basically be triggered directly by a scene change, rather than having to wait for the normal polling cycle? e.g. The moment a scene change starts to happen, I need to send a midi message (at the very start of the transition) rather than at some random point during/after the transition.

mortal harbor
#

there is a "transition started" condition

fervent marsh
#

But that's only going to be triggered during the normal 300ms polling interval, yeah?

fossil wyvern

adv-ss works on polling only afaik

fervent marsh

That's unfortunate, since I'm guessing obslua doesn't have a good way to send midi.

fossil wyvern
#

dear lord

Didn't think so. πŸ˜‰

There are a few ideas in the forums for improving chroma keying also that I have bookmarked somewhere that someone toyed with 4-5 years ago that had some useful results also.

The Blender one has like a dozen or so sliders in it for tweaking a bunch of stuff, made it really easy to key improperly lit screen

Or use binary search (remove half of the plugins, see if it still occurs. If so, repeat. If not, swap with the ones you removed and repeat), only takes Theta(log n) time instead of O(n) for the linear search :)

Removing a plugin does not things from your collection.

If you download a clean OBS as portable, I'm sure it would work just fine without any plugins installed into it.

Simply having a clean scene collection where you can switch back and forth without issues, proves that it's a plugin issue and not OBS issue.

#

You have more than the average number of plugins. That's the source of the issue for why you are here. If the docks issue is more important, you can simply install the version of OBS you had previously installed.

mental rose
#

average. i know streamers who have 100s of plugins. i have maybe if im lucky 15 or 20. those docks i showed you are not plug ins at all. Plus i didnt say that the resize is more important. i was just letting someone know that it is an issue.

spiral ruin
#

The dock behavior you showed is not an issue. If it was an issue of version, a lot more people who have it right now. Like I said, if the docks issue is that important to you at this moment, you can install the previous version of OBS you had installed.

mental rose
#

Did you just not read what i said?? i was just letting someone know. and i didnt have this issue until i updated to the newest version. Not being able to resize a dock to your liking is an issue. You can choose to not believe me if you want but the proof is there. you clearly can see me not being able to resize it. but i wil start working on the plug ins to find the issue with the scene collections.

#

Matter of fact i just talk to a couple streamer friends of mine and they have the same issue until they remove it and replace or restart obs.

I did read it. I guess you and I are talking past each other. I saw your proof. I don't have that docks issue.

As others have said, it is very likely a plugin that is causing your dock issue. There was a change recently, where docks are created (programmatically) in a new way. My guess is that one of your plugins is creating docks the old way, and the old way to create a dock was deprecated.. and thus that plugin is causing OBS to poop the bed.

harsh topaz
#

Go into \bin\64bit and run the obs64.exe.

#

If that OBS, in portable mode, also has same issues - then you can talk about it being an OBS issue.

#

If not, it is most definitely a conflict of plugins.

mental rose
#

ok well give me 10 mins and ill make a portable version. then maybe ppl will actually believe when there is an issue.

spiral ruin
#

We believe you have the issue with your current setup and plugins.

harsh topaz
#

A lot of people come with issues, and if you're not doing testing in a clean environment, its polluted. And the vast majority of times, it's plugins or configurations that are causing the issues - not the application itself.

mental rose
#

I have to go thru my plugins...

harsh topaz
#

Because the portable version works np?

mental rose
#

Sorry peeps i was getting frustrated

#

yea i moved a bunch of docks around to test it and they work fine

harsh topaz
#

No worries, it can be annoying when things don't work.

serene echo
mental rose
#

so how do i go about the plug in stuff

harsh topaz
mental rose
#

yea let me make it crash real quick and i will send it over

harsh topaz
#

Or did you drag and drop files.

Apps & features on Win10.

mental rose
#

it doesnt tell you which is what

#

o wait

civic heath
#

Im sure this has been asked, but theres no plugin to hide a source from a recording right? Like how streamlabs has?

harsh topaz
#

Alternatively:

  • Open the portable OBS folder, and go to obs-plugins\64bit

  • Open the same folder on your regular OBS. Go to the same folder.

  • Make sure you don't delete any files from the regular OBS folder that you see in the portable. Those files are the default .dll of OBS.

So open regular OBS folder, and start deleting .dll files that aren't in the portable one.

So @mental rose that crash is compeltely unrelated to docks. It is a signal handler that isn't getting released when it should. I'd wager that the plugin causing the issue is likely something that needs to keep a source state known. something like the source dock plugin, Advanced Scene Switcher, or possibly Down Stream Keyer (those are 3 big ones that come to mind)

If that fixes your issue, go to their site and download the new plugin - close OBS - and install it. Open OBS again.

i have a thing called decklink.dll

harsh topaz

There were some shenanigans with streamdeck loading in from another folder a while back erhm... @vale vine do you remember how that went?

Decklink is standard OBS, and unrelated to streamdeck. It doesn't appear it is in that folder no.

Can you open OBS (make sure you open the one that's in this folder) and do

Or well, they downgraded again.

#

Issue wasn't related to that - but they should yea.

i will as soon as i figure this out

harsh topaz
mortal harbor
#

I was just pointing it out because it is always a bad idea to stay on an old version while troubleshooting an issue.

mental rose
harsh topaz
#

Those are plugins for the streamdeck software afaik.

mortal harbor
#

%programdata%\obs-studio

harsh topaz
#

Go to the %programdata%\obs-studio path.

#

Literally copy paste that into your path at the top.

mental rose
#

ok im in

#

found it

mortal harbor
#

is there some indication the streamdeck plugin is causing the crash that was linked?

harsh topaz
#

Only what Finite said.

mental rose
#

no we are troubeshooting

hallow vale
#

And what I remembered from a similarly caused crash months ago

harsh topaz
#

Afterwards; open OBS again.

#

See if you get the crash. If you still do, update obs to latest version before trying to remove other plugins.

mortal harbor
#

probably that then yeah, considering the plugin date modified in that screenshot is from march 2023.

mental rose
#

that folder??

harsh topaz
#

Yes

#

That's the entire StreamDeck plugin.

#

After you boot OBS, do the log again (new one) and post it.

mental rose
#

ok gone

harsh topaz
#

See if it successfully removed it.

mental rose
oblique yewBOT
harsh topaz
#

Yes, that removed it.

#

Issue still persists?

mortal harbor
mental rose
#

yup

harsh topaz
#

Okay, update OBS before you start removing more plugins.

mental rose
harsh topaz
#

Your best option is to update OBS, and start deleting plugins until the issue disappears.

#

It's only like 10 plugins, shouldn't take too long.

mental rose
#

awesome

mortal harbor
#

go to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit and drag all of the files listed below out of that folder, then add them back one by one until you start seeing the same issue

waveform
source-clone
obs-composite-blur
spectralizer
3d-effect
source-copy
obs-stroke-glow-shadow
obs-shaderfilter
source-record
libimage-reaction
obs-advanced-masks
aitum-multistream
win-capture-audio
move-transition

it should really only take a couple minutes

#

dragging them all out and then adding back is the correct way to do it though, not removing one by one.

mental rose
#

ok updated. gimmie a min

harsh topaz
mortal harbor
#

what if there are two?

mental rose
#

how will this effect anything in my sources and scenes??? will i have to do it all again

harsh topaz
#

Then you will still have to add all files one at a time even after you find the crash.

mortal harbor
#

:/ you're missing the point.

harsh topaz
#

Perhaps

mortal harbor
#

if you remove one by one you can not isolate individual plugins that are an issue because you may remove one that is bad but the other remains. then when you think you have found the issue and add the others back the issue begins again.

#

if you remove them all and add one by one, you will immediately know if a specific plugin is causing an issue.

harsh topaz
#

I suppose. I'd find it insane to have two plugins causing the exact same error though.

mortal harbor
#

well, most things I say are based on experience.

mental rose
mortal harbor
#

yes, easiest way. if they aren't in that folder they won't load.

mental rose
#

o duuuhh

#

lol

mortal harbor
#

like I said, it is actually a pretty quick and easy process once you understand what you're doing.

harsh topaz
#

You got to drag them back in one at a time, then open OBS and see if the issue is there or not - rinse repeat.

quiet bramble
#

Many releases ago I encountered a problem I knew was related to plugins and at first had a tricky time trying to figure out which one since I used a lot of plugins. What I ended up doing, was installing a clean install of portable OBS, and duplicating it so I had the original unmodified, then I installed a single plugin into the dupe, tested it, deleted the installation, duplicated the clean portable install again, tested the next plugin, and went through all of them this way so that each plugin was being tested with a fresh OBS installation in isolation. It took a while but I found out which plugins were causing memory leaks and other problems this way, and it was unquestionable because there was only one plugin.

mental rose
#

ok they are all removed from the list

#

ok seems to be def a plug in cuz no crash

Make sure all plugins are updated, and OBS updated as well.

mental rose

guess ill have to do it the old way and use diff obs shortcuts

harsh topaz
#

Then try adding it again - if it causes issues could be a filter setting causing it.

#

If so, remove all filters of Source Record.

i removed the source record. its ok

like i said i dont use it anyways

So correct me if I have this wrong.

But did you click on settings next to start virtual camera and select the specific scene or source you want?

If you wanna use your main camera in both. Close OBS and the other app, then open OBS and use the camera there. Start Virtual Camera and then use the |Virtual Camera` in the other app

in the obs studio folder plugins\win-dshow\ how can i include that so i can use the win-dshow in my plugin?

fossil wyvern
#

what are you trying to do exactly?

leaden cipher
#

Im trying to control a camera through directshow like in obs when you click configure video it opens the properties window ConfigureVideo in win-dshow. I have a function returning the active source device and i have a push button that when I click, I want to open the camera controls, instead of needing to go into source properties and then configure video

#

long story short, recreate this button so i dont have to go into properties to get to it.

fossil wyvern
#

then look how the source does it and replicate that, don't try to include the whole-ass plugin

leaden cipher
#

Ya I was trying to find it in the source and couldnt. ill keep looking. Thanks for the help.

fossil wyvern
#

down the line, it calls device.OpenDialog(nullptr, DialogType::ConfigVideo), which is likely smth in libdshowcapture

leaden cipher
#

Ya so i did find that before which is why i was trying to include it but i guess i misunderstand how to use it lol

fossil wyvern
#

well, you want to include libdshowcapture, not win-dshow

#

win-dshow is the obs plugin, libdshowcapture is the library it uses to interface with devices

leaden cipher

I see. So i can just include libdshowcapture in my plugin libraries folder and cmake and include it in my class

If you toggle the visibility of the scene source itself, that will only be in the scene it is in. If you toggle the visibility of items within the nested scene or perform other operations/animation on them then it will happen in every scene it is nested in.

anyone know of a plugin that can display a timer on OBS that includes tenth of a second or hundredth of a second? I.e 45.5 seconds, or 15.76 seconds? The challenge here is I need to to be able to run down (or up) in real time

Keep in mind that a timer being displayed by OBS will be bound to the granularity of the frame rate, which is 33.3ms at 30fps and 16.7ms at 60fps.

just wondering if theres something simple to colour it in

spiral ruin
#

so, you need that text to contrast with what the text is on top of.

feral carbon
#

yes?

spiral ruin
#

well, I'm asking you, is that why you need the color change? You may not need a specific plugin, just some effects or filters. Lots of big brains here that do that kind of stuff.

#

color change, add color... basically, what's the goal? to make the text more visible on it's background?

feral carbon
#

well i cant colour correct something that is white

#

i have white text from a browser source and im just wondering if you can change the colour with some filter

#

i dont think obs has that option by default

spiral ruin
#

I'm not sure either. Never needed to change it this way, always was able to change it at the origin of the text. I would ask in #stream-setup instead of this channel, as it's mostly for plugin development and support.

mortal harbor
#

you could use a color key filter with white selected, then put a color source behind the browser source and use the color you want.

#

this will key out all white in the browser source though.

feral carbon

hmm thanks ill look into that

#

long shot but anyone familiar with opencv?

spiral ruin
leaden cipher
#

I have a camera that im writing controls for in an obs dockable widget. Im able to control it using windows driver but im trying to control it with opencv. If im not mistaken, opencv has no way of getting the name of the camera. my system has a few cameras and im trying to make it so it controls a specific one. ive tried getting information on them like this

12:22:19.155: Found camera at index: 1, name: Camera 1, resolution: 1920x1080, fps: 0, brightness: -1.00, contrast: -1.00, saturation: -1.00, hue: -1.00, gain: -1.00, exposure: -1.00
12:22:19.788: Found camera at index: 2, name: Camera 2, resolution: 640x480, fps: 0, brightness: -1.00, contrast: -1.00, saturation: -1.00, hue: -1.00, gain: -1.00, exposure: -1.00```

and my code for getting the camera is 

```camera.open(0);
    if (camera.isOpened()) {
        blog(LOG_WARNING, "Opened camera at index: 1");
    } else {
        blog(LOG_WARNING, "Failed to open camera at index: 1");
    }```

and setting autofocus this way 

```void CameraControlDock::setAutoFocus(bool enabled) {
    if (camera.isOpened()) {
        camera.set(cv::CAP_PROP_AUTOFOCUS, enabled);
        blog(LOG_WARNING, "Auto focus %s", enabled ? "enabled" : "disabled");
    } else {
        blog(LOG_WARNING, "Camera not opened. Cannot set auto focus.");
    }
}```

but its not setting the autofocus correctly and i dont see why.
#

im using a checkable push button for auto focus

#

1920x1080 seems to be the right camera, thats the resolution for the camera im using but when i open camera 1 the autofocus doesnt work.

fervent marsh
leaden cipher
#

okay so i can enable autofocus if i turn it off but i cant turn it off with opencv

#

interesting

fervent marsh
#

Do you get the "auto focus enabled/disabled" message when you click your button?

leaden cipher
# 
    if (camera.isOpened()) {
        bool success = camera.set(cv::CAP_PROP_AUTOFOCUS, enabled ? 1 : 0);
        if (success) {
            blog(LOG_WARNING, "Auto focus %s", enabled ? "enabled" : "disabled");
        } else {
            blog(LOG_WARNING, "Failed to set auto focus. The property might not be supported by this camera.");
        }
    } else {
        blog(LOG_WARNING, "Camera not opened. Cannot set auto focus.");
    }
}```

gives me 

```12:41:22.246: Failed to set auto focus. The property might not be supported by this camera.
12:41:29.547: Auto focus enabled```
#

if i turn off autofocus using windows driver, i can turn it on with the button but i cant turn it off.

fervent marsh
leaden cipher
#

i tried printing the current value of autofocus and it just always says 0 even if enabled.

12:57:25.825: Current auto focus value: 0 I can turn off the autofocus, set it to near focus and itll stay. I clicked the auto focus button and it reenables autofocus but says its value is still 0. this is getting ridiculous lmfao

fervent marsh
#

It could well be that camera does those settings a different way.

leaden cipher
#

So my spec sheet for the camera says it only supports auto focus and manual focus so i might have to just use buttons for manual focus and use the auto focus button to just reenable it afterwards?

#

like maybe setting manual focus disables the auto focus. gonna have to toy around a bit.

fervent marsh
#

Wonder if windows has anything like linux where you can dump all of the possible parameters for a given camera, and their current values.

hard jay
#

depends on the device

#

if it's a UVC device, yes

#

if it's not, up to the custom driver to decide what it wants to report

fervent marsh
#

Are there any common webcam-type cameras that aren't UVC?

leaden cipher
#

its UVC but i got it. I really appreciate everyones help. That was exactly the issue. I created a qt slider with 19 steps and set each step for manual focus according to the camera documentation and when i slide the slider, it changes the manual focus and disables the auto focus.

#

then i press the autofocus button to renable it.

hard jay
#

And no, not really anymore. Almost all newer webcams are UVC

#

There's still some OG C920's floating around which are not though.

Enables/disables a source, or returns the enabled state.``` 

correct me if im wrong but that just disables and enables the video source? the source needs to stay active and disable just the filters.
fossil wyvern
#

inputs, scenes, filters, transitions all are sources.
What the frontend calls source is only inputs, a limited subset of sources

but you're in the backend here, not the frontend
