[wintry wedge]

So to clarify those two are connected?
Like so?

If so, you only need one of those... You just need a cable for USB C to HDMI it looks like.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Cause it looks like you're trying to feed into two inputs here.

The female end on both cards is only for input. So for example, a camera, a X Box, etc.
So something needs to be an output, for there to be an input signal

[mortal harbor]

My phone is connected

Usb c

Usb a

Capture card is usb A

[wintry wedge]

I understand, but if it's connected via USB C or A. the male end of these cards is for output only
So the black capture card going to the computer, needs a input signal from a device that is outputting the signal.

If the output end is connected to your phone, your phone would be receiving a signal. Not outputting the signal unfortunately

[mortal harbor]

So do i need a otg then

I do have a OTG ADAPTER TOO

[wintry wedge]

Not familiar with what the is, but maybe? Give it a shot I guess. I'll double check!

[mortal harbor]

I already did still not working

I have this one

[wintry wedge]

So you almost have it right. It's honestly just the cable type, so you need a male to male USB C to HDMI. Which then connects to either of the cards you have. In this case, the black one with USB A for the computer. Example can be seen in this ad for a similar card you hvae

[hard jay]

Eh, I mean you don't need that. In theory the setup should be working fine, there shouldn't be a functional difference between a USB to Male or Female HDMI port.

It's complexity in required cables, but that's all.

It sounds to me just like cheap and unreliable capture devices.

[wintry wedge]

You can corect me where I'm wrong, but last I checked. If something is set solely for input and one for output. That would be an issue.

Cause to me it looks like such
Output < Input
Output < Input

Vs
Output < Input
Input > Output.

Which would connect both card, and transmit the desired signal correctly, no?

[hard jay]

Oh, the device on the phone side is also a capture card.

[wintry wedge]

Exactly, hence just recommneding the Male to Male cable which both cards would need for connections. VS the HDMI to both

[hard jay]

Then yes, that is never going to work. But USB-C to Female HDMI output do exist, heh

I thought that's what that one was.

so yes, a USB-C to HDMI will hopefully fix the issue.

[wintry wedge]

Well one is USB C to Female HDMI, the silver one. But the other card is a USB A to Female HDMI.
So either way, it would still need to be male to male essential for those to work

Thanks for chiming in btw!

[hard jay]

it wouldn't matter if it's USB-C to male or female, they already have a male/male HDMI cable to use. A USB-C to male HDMI eliminates the need for a standard cable. USB-A or C is more or less irrelevant.

on the PC side that is.

[wintry wedge]

Right, but for the phone it's C....

[hard jay]

yes, USB-C to some flavor of HDMI output.

that's the required device, heh

the less ambigious version of which being the USB-C to Male HDMI

USB-C to female HDMI ports as an output exist, but they're rare.

[mortal harbor]

I do have a usb A

[hard jay]

You have two capture cards is the problem

You can either either of those to connect to the PC, but you need an HDMI output from the phone.

i.e. that USB-C to HDMI cable that Josh linked a picture of.

[mortal harbor]

https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-JSAUX-Thunderbolt-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B08KVSHQ8B?tag=snx79-20&th=1 then would this work with it

[hard jay]

No.

That's input again.

https://www.amazon.com/UANTIN-High-Speed-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B0C38WDX79

you want like this

[wintry wedge]

Total side note, I finally see what you were saying here lol.
I was getting puzzled, cause I thought your weren't noticing that one is USB C to female HDMI.

But what you were saying is, that there are devices just like the above. But the input/output is reversed.
Got it lol. Generally like how most systems have female ports for outputs

[hard jay]

correct.

[mortal harbor]

would this one work

[wintry wedge]

Yes

[hard jay]

that is probably the exact cable that I linked just under a different brand, heh

[mortal harbor]

ok

[wintry wedge]

Glad we could get that figured out. Keep us posted if you still have issues, that should cover it!

[fervent marsh]

Hmmm... with adv-ss, is there a way to have a macro set to only perform actions on condition change... but always run once at OBS startup, so that the state of what it's controlling is guaranteed to be consistent with the condition's actual state? Since otherwise if the conditional state (say, whether a process is running) changes while OBS isn't running, it won't actually notice.

[fervent marsh]

Best I can tell there's not a way to do "always evaluate this on OBS startup" which is ... irritating.

[untold jay]

@fervent marsh
I wonder if "If "Macro" "Macro run count" was executed less than 1 times" would work?

This seems to work, I get exactly 1 notification at startup.

[fervent marsh]

Oh huh. That's clever. Thanks!

[full salmon]

guys i need help

I set up an Arduino Pro Micro to help me change the various scenes in OBS, but it only works if the OBS window is focused, unlike my keyboard, where if I set a hotkey it works regardless of whether the OBS window is focused or not .

can anyone help me?

[proud knoll]

none plugins appear in my VST2

none plugins appear in my VST2

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio supports many VST 2.x plugins which can be applied to your audio sources as a filter. For more information, see the VST 2.x Plugin Filter guide.

[vital zodiac]

Hi Guys, hopefully I can get some help

I am working on a Scene for fighting game tourneys, and I would like to know if there is anything that could help me with the following:

I would like to have an Image source dynamically changing depending of a value read from an external .txt file.

So for example, lets say that we are playing street fighter. I can have stored in a txt file a character name. So if the player chooses Ryu and this txt file has "Ryu" written, the image source would open Ryu.png.

The game emulator already does the part of saving a txt file with this info. The issue is how can I use it so OBS would change the image source file...

Is there anything that could help me have reach this result?

[untold jay]

!advss @vital zodiac The advanced scene switcher plugin can execute actions based on the context of a text file, use the "If File" condition and "Source Set settings" action.

[oblique yew]

@vital zodiac

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.

[vital zodiac]

Thanks a lot!! I will try it soon

[mortal harbor]

i have a question relating to a capture card again i would like to reconfirm what i need to get

am i supposed to get a usb c to hdmi cable that converts the signal or no?

[hard jay]

I wouldn't worry about anything to do with conversion, just get the one that was linked.

[cerulean prairie]

Since obs sources only show up on the scene, I can not actually see the twitch chat myself. when I enable the chat, it looks incredibly annoying and keeps getting on the way of my game, but I wanna also read my chat! ( AND NO I AM NOT BUYING A NEW MONITOR I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT ) is there any plugin or something alike that would allow me to see the sources by myself too on my own screen, not just the scene/make the twitch chat window background transparent? ty

[fossil wyvern]

https://github.com/baffler/Transparent-Twitch-Chat-Overlay

[cerulean prairie]

ty

used that for the entire stream

really good plugin

[mellow tapir]

hello, im sorry first of all to write here but it seems that i do not have permission to write on the support one. thank you so much for this community for such an awesome project. I just got a razer HD and i have a ps5 but I'm not able to see my game on OBS.. any ideas?

[obsidian agate]

The support portal is not meant to be posted to. It is meant to be read thru, and then you go to the appropriate support channel listed in it

[brisk halo]

I recall seeing a streamer who had a "feature" allowing him to record few seconds of what they said and then use their streamer deck or some other tool to replay it as a sound. Is anyone aware whether it's an OBS plugin or something completely 3rd party?

similar to recording a sound sample live, but I can't really get a proper queryto find any info for incorporating this into a stream

[vapid charm]

Sounds like a GoXLR tbh.

[stark narwhal]

Guess you could also do this with the replay buffer.
Overkill yes but will work.

[brisk halo]

so this is tied to a hardware piece rather than being a standalone software?

[obsidian agate]

Could be a lot of things. Could be something completely custom that that streamer uses that isnt publicly available as well.

Have you asked the streamer? They may have a Discord server

[brisk halo]

unfortunately I don't remember the name. It was quite long ago and I just happened to remember this now

I'm looking for something relatively cheap or free even, just to try if it even comes in handy, spending 200 bucks on this GoXLR thing is a bit of investment for me

app that could be controlled through phone in the same network would be the best

[obsidian agate]

Maybe StreamerBot. It can do it, but there is a learning curve. It does have its own free “StreamDeck” style option called “Deck”

There isnt really a pre-built, turn-key solution as far as i am aware, so manual configuration would be needed. Luckily StreamerBot also has their own Discord and a great community

[brisk halo]

I'll look into it, thanks

[muted flame]

Are there any plugins for OBS that collapse long chat messages? My issue is mostly that my bot(s) will often post messages that are a bit long and a few are tied to after someone raids in. I don't want to miss out on messages from real people, but don't want to see a chat message that is less for me.

May be nice to have for really long chat messages that may just be copy pastes/repeats so I can collapse the chat down to be able to pay attention to more unique messages.

[zenith coral]

Hello, does anyone know how Incan get mic audio and PlayStation party chat audio for live streaming. I’m using a MacBook

[mortal harbor]

Ok but i cant buy it without free shipping so i pretty much have to buy something with it

[teal stream]

hey, any insights on this from anybody? still hadn't been able to troubleshoot this issue with Move Transition

[languid tiger]

Hi everyone! I got a question, but first, sorry for my English, I wold like to know if it’s possible to somehow add grid of thirds to scene without them appearing in the transmission, thank you everyone in advance!

[wintry wedge]

Not currently, no. Unless maybe you do something like branch output. Then You could maybe create a nested scene that will be outputted to stream.
Then the scene with the grids would never be shown? I could be wrong. But I would have to test it out...

But I'm sure a script or plugin is in the works. Since it's be recently requested.

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/branch-output.1987/

[languid tiger]

Thanks @wintry wedge you’re so kind!!!!… I will keep looking for the answer and I will take a look to the link that you give me

[wintry wedge]

Sounds good, keep me posted if you do find some other solution. Also I just double checked this plugin, so it looks like it can be used a as a filter.
So it might be possible to do so that way. Actually the more I look at it, the more I realize I might be able to demo it!

I'll keep you posted if I figure out a good approach with it!

[languid tiger]

Sure @wintry wedge I will reply with the solution if I find it

[lament steeple]

Is it possible for source record to record audio too?

[hallow vale]

Yup!

[lament steeple]

Ahhh you need to set it to, it's not by default, thank you

[hallow vale]

No prob

[cursive yew]

pls tell me someone has a template for obs

i cant make my own

[spiral ruin]

A template for what, exactly?

[cursive yew]

for like streaming the scence collections

[spiral ruin]

Lots of free templates (overlays, alerts etc) available online. Streamlabs, StreamElements, Nerd or Die are common sites to find them.
You don't really need any of that to start streaming. Decide what you want to show, like a game or other content, if you want to show your face, and adding your mic.

[sick hinge]

stream.fx link anyone?

[spiral ruin]

A google search doesn't bring it up?

[sick hinge]

It does but I cannot find the link to actually download it

[spiral ruin]

I believe it's locked behind a paywall now, for a year or so.

[left salmon]

Would someone be able to help with this, i just put the streamlabs plugin for OBS

[vale vine]

Most likely need to disable the streamlabs flow in settings of their plugin, or disable enhanced broadcast in obs settings > stream

If you do option 1, you'd also need to go to obs settings > stream, and change the server as it gets set to a custom one

[serene echo]

Yup.. its been locked behind a paywall for about 18-months now. Depending on what parts of it you use, there are alternative plugins these days.

[left salmon]

Yea thats it working, i done the first option and thats it back up running thanks

[vale vine]

👍

[stark relic]

I need some help finding something that will help me stream skype audio through OBS. And maybe something that will make a wave visual when the person speaks. Is that possible? Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks.

[wintry wedge]

You'll wanna use Win-Audio Capture, and the waveform plugin!

You can use the default Audio Output? Capture. But the Win-Audio Output is much better

[oblique yew]

To capture only audio from specific programs:

Windows: follow the Application Audio Capture Guide
macOS: follow the macOS Desktop Audio Capture Guide

[mortal harbor]

we generally do not recommend the plugin considering it is no longer maintained (for years at this point) and there are many crashes associated with it.

also because you can now include audio with a game or window capture source, there isn't really much benefit to the plugin even if it did not have the issues I mentioned.

[hallow vale]

The win-capture-audio plugin hasn't been maintained in a long time, has issues. They'll want to use the built in application audio source

Ope, I blame Discord jumping on me LOL

[wintry wedge]

@mortal harbor @hallow vale interesting, first I'm hearing of it having issues? I just know it was recommended cause it worked better, than the native beta we have.

I guess if they're capturing the application that way, then that should be fine too. My assumption is they just want to use the audio.

One benefit from my knowledge is for multiple game sources. So that's why I use it. Instead creating multiple audio captures or needing to pick a new source each time. I can just set them all to one. Which could also be used for multi music players, etc.

But I'll keep what you guys have said in mind! Thanks for the heads up!

[mortal harbor]

One benefit from my knowledge is for multiple game sources.

we would recommend using a single game capture with hotkey mode to switch between games, then including audio with this one source.

!hotkeymode for reference

[oblique yew]

Game capture sources allow you to use a hotkey mode to capture the currently active window, allowing you to use one game capture source for all of your games and even allowing you to switch games easily. To activate this mode:

1. Open the game capture source's properties. (You can do this by double clicking on the source in the sources list)
2. Change the game capture's Mode to "Capture foreground window with hotkey"
3. In Settings > Hotkeys, set up a hotkey for "Capture foreground window".

[wintry wedge]

I'll test that out sometime, thanks for the info! That's another option I wasn't aware of

[midnight lion]

Hey guys! New here and panicking slightly.

[hallow vale]

!hi Welcome

[oblique yew]

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!

[midnight lion]

I was wondering if anyone can help me understand whether or not I will need certain things with the set up I have for my whatnot channel. I have an OBSBOT Tiny 2 for the camera that will be facing me and a Sony CS6100 for the camera that’ll be in front of my hands (I do Pokemon cards) and I’m trying to figure out if I should purchase the ASUS TUF gaming capture box 4k pro since I have the camera and the obsbot?

I can’t figure out if it’s necessary for the best stream possible and what the value add is of getting that? I’m sorry for my confusion.

I was originally going to just grab an elgato cam link, but I saw this on the list for OBS approved devices and I want to help eliminate dealing with lag or tech issues.

[mortal harbor]

either would work

[mortal harbor]

It's a great idea

[midnight lion]

Thank you. Would the gaming capture box increase video performance and clarity/functionality over the elgato?

[mortal harbor]

no

[midnight lion]

The TUF one is a great idea? In lieu of the elgato, in your opinion?

[mortal harbor]

Yes it is

Are you just starting out your stream channel

[midnight lion]

My first show is Friday and I have like 350 bookmarks and i just don’t want to screw up my first show. I’m setting everything up now - if I went with elgato I could pick that up tonight vs having to wait to test functionality when ASOS would arrive on Wednesday.

[mortal harbor]

You know what just get them and try test using them before the show to avoid any shit

I've friend you

[midnight lion]

Right. That was my thought initially. My fear is that if I don’t order the ASUS tonight and just get the elgato, it’ll end up arriving too late should the elgato be less than optimal in functionality or to my preference.

[midnight lion]

I wish I had more in depth knowledge on all of this. I haven’t had the time to dive as deeply as I need to yet, which is atypical of me. I’m beating myself up.

Thank you for the follow! Following back now!

[mortal harbor]

won't make any difference getting one over the other

[mortal harbor]

just place the order tonight so it could arrive on time so as to test use the product before the show
Besides choosing one over other makes no much difference

Just get your favorite product and make sure it's good

[mortal harbor]

Well you can let's just talk privately you f you wish to learn more about them

[midnight lion]

Messaging u privately on here now. Thank you Clay.

[sleek lynx]

anyone heard of an apple music (local files) now playing plugin yet? I search daily, but found a lot here that I couldnt find by searching

[wintry wedge]

Closest you'll get is this with Cider? At least I think it works with local too
https://youtu.be/LCnInU5fUbo?si=mxpX41ZbG6Pm_FSN

[fickle cave]

Anyone using obs-teleport in linux pc and getting massive fps drops? I usually average 60 fps, but as soon as I add a teleport source, fps drops to around 10-15 and cpu usage quadruples from 20% up to 80%.

[fluid island]

would source record or a seperate vertical recording use more cpu ?

[mortal harbor]

probably wouldn't be a difference

[untold jay]

@fluid island If you're asking whether the source record plugin would yield better or worse performance compared to running a second copy of obs-studio, the difference is probably negligible either way. Unlesss you're dealing with sources that can only be captured exactly once (game capture, video capture device) and have to be shared using spout2 - in that case source record is likely better.

[sleek lynx]

thanks but i looked into his, it requires cider which says it requires an apple music subscription, which I do not have or want, hence the "local files" requirement. i re-read this and I sound like im being a dick, but I just want to assure you thats not my goal, just making it clear what im looking for

[radiant jewel]

is there a multi-platform stream plugin that i can get for obs, thank you in advance

[oblique yew]

A third party plug-in for streaming to multiple endpoints is available for OBS Studio.

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/aitum-multistream.1991/

[dapper tangle]

yup, look into Aitum Multistream and Aitum Vertical

[simple meadow]

Let me try it here: Last week i installed a plugin called: VB-Audio Virtual Cable, Not sure if anyone is known with this one but it basically connects the OBS plug-ins with Discord so you got the same smooth voice, However 2 days later on my live stream i noticed i could not hear my Media source audio nor my viewers could, Anyone has an idea what this could be? The Audio meter is doing its thing and i did not changed anything to the Media Source settings at all.

If you need some additional info or screenshots please let me know!

[wintry wedge]

No problem at all, totally understand. I didn't really check if it needed the sub unfortunately, so my apologies about that. But thanks for letting me know, so I don't accidentally recommend it. I also assumed one could access their local files with it

[wintry wedge]

Additional info may be needed. I can't right off the bat figure what it is. Other, than maybe the audio capture source or studio mode.
I use VB Cable as well, and usually don't have issues. Most audio issues I've had come from studio mode, audio capture source or a specific setting in OBS like low latency audio buffering mode. When I turned that off, I encountered the issue far less....

Another useful thing to have for monitoring your audio while live btw, is using the Audio Monitoir plugin. I use it often to quickly check what the stream hears. Especially for my mic, and music!

[simple meadow]

Thank you for the info, Turning on the Low latency poorly enough did not fixed me hearing the Media source, however i seen that after messing around i had to set the Media source back to '' Monitor and Output'' and now when i record i can hear the Media Source back, That is 1 thing fixed, ( I have been messing around so much with options and things before) How ever i cannot hear it live when i change the scene to Media Source

This is how it looks atm

Oke i discovered something, If i set the Monitoring Device back to Default its working as normal, so its the Cable Plugin because once i set that it shuts off the sound

[mortal harbor]

Yes that is expected, you need to monitor the audio to a device you can hear otherwise you won’t….well, hear it.

[simple meadow]

The problem is that i am not an audio knowledge person so often i am not even sure what to do or what i should be doing right now, I'am stuck with a broken system that i only seem to have lol

[wintry wedge]

Set the main monitor to your headphones, and use VB Cable as a monitor filter on the device or devices you wanna output to Discord!
That way you can hear it if you want, and shouldnt have to worry as much

Turning of low latency should at least help the stream though. That items shouldnt cut out. Also as long as things are set to Monitor or Monitor and Output, it should work

[simple meadow]

Ill guess this is step 1?

its my headset

[wintry wedge]

Yeah that should be fine! As long as you want to hear everything! If not. Set it to your monitor or something without speakers. Then use the Audio Monitor plugin as a filter on sources you want to hear in your headphones, then other ones where you might want to hear in your speakers.

But if you just want one source, that should be totally fine!

[simple meadow]

ow man now i hear my mic lol

[wintry wedge]

lmao

[simple meadow]

The thing here is i dont know all option location

i just need to hear my Media source like i used to for a year and i need my mic to link to discord so the sound aint off

i dont need to hear myself

this is really stressing me out because today i trow away already 30 min of footage because my mic wasnt working wile indicating it was working

[mortal harbor]

it is pretty simple to fix, change your mic to "monitor off" in edit>advanced audio properties

you shouldn't need to monitor your mic to VB cable for it to be heard in discord anyways.

[simple meadow]

but then it wont work on the cable plugin?

[wintry wedge]

No worries. So where your at is fine. For your mic, you can set it to monitor. Just not Monitor and Output. That way it shouldnt be heard by you.

Ah. Well if you want o do it that way, your wan't you main set of audio set to something with no speakers I think. Then use the Audio Monitor Plugin and set it to the VB Cable as a monitor source

[wintry wedge]

You might be right? But I need to double check. I thought that was the case...

[mortal harbor]

I am confidently correct here

[simple meadow]

Sorry if not allowed but i followed this 58Sec tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osJc0oRmoYA

[mortal harbor]

I am not going to watch that, but it is easy to just explain the correct way to do this since you already have it mostly setup

is your goal to share your OBS window + audio in a discord stream?

or are you just trying to use filters from your mic? if so that is different and I misunderstood

[simple meadow]

I stream on youtube but sometimes i use Discord for multiplayer voicechat

[mortal harbor]

what is the reason to route your mic through OBS instead of just using it normally in discord?

[simple meadow]

because my voice sounds wack like i am eating marbles and i installed a VST 2.x Plugin to give a little sprinkle of studio pro effect to it, And discord is pure voice and no good 😦

and that cable plugin should take the VST 2.x plugin of OBS to Discord to give that studio effect

[mortal harbor]

hm okay. well either way you can set to mic to monitor off, install audio monitor plugin, and add an audio monitor filter to anything you want sent to VB cable.

I don't necessarily agree with the idea of using OBS as a VST host for other software but you can do that I guess.

[lusty raft]

does anyone have any plugins that makes it easier for streaming (chat, notifications and such) I dont want to use Streamlabs as alot of the stuff is behind a paywall

[mortal harbor]

you can add chat widgets, alerts, etc through streamlabs or streamelements....neither have those things behind any type of paywall.

[lusty raft]

have never used streamelements

i will try that now thanks

any transitions anyone has

[simple meadow]

If i had other options/knowledge then i would do that for sure, For now Ill be saving up your explanation and see another day if i can figure out what to do, I do appreciate the help a lot, Thank you/guys very much!

The application audio capture (Spotify) is active in the Advanced Properties and only on the channel that I have selected under VOD on the Settings, output, stream page.

[spiral ruin]

Don't understand why you would have to "set it all back up again" but yeah, need those screenshots of how you have it set up and expecting to work. May need a log too, so we can see everything in context.

[sly halo]

Thanks I’ll see it all back up and get some screen shots.

I have to “see it all back up” meaning I am going to be using game capture and not desktop audio anymore. Each audio source has to be separated so it can take some “setting up” to show you with substance

[spiral ruin]

If you were using a desktop audio source and a separate spotify source, it's likely the spotify music was coming into OBS on the desktop source too. And if that source was enabled for the VOD track... You get the picture.

[heavy ocean]

Any idea why this option is no longer available and what the alternative is?

[sly halo]

Under settings, desktop audio is disabled so I don’t think that’s possible

This is something that is hard to keep testing because if I keep getting it wrong, I’ll get a copyright strike lol

[spiral ruin]

The way you stated "I am going to be using game capture and not desktop audio anymore" makes it sound like you were before, which would likely cause the Spotify audio to be on the VOD track. #plugins-and-tools message
But again, set it up and test it. If you have issues, come back to a support channel.

[sly halo]

I’m sorry that I used the word “anymore” what I meant was I am using game capture audio and application audio capture together with no desktop audio Source to try to make this happen and from what I understand that’s the correct way to do it. But it’s not lol

[spiral ruin]

That's fine. But it's all "theoretical" until you post the screenshots of what you expect to work but isn't.

[sly halo]

Setting that up as we speak

[untold jay]

I dunno, but you can use taskkill /f /im obs64.exe.

[heavy ocean]

That doesn't answer my question

[untold jay]

(this will end ALL copies of obs-studio, not just one, mind.)

[heavy ocean]

Only Python and Lua scripts are supported and it seems like there is no specific trigger tab so maybe there's an option to hook into starting / exiting in those scripts. Just not sure if / how

[sly halo]

The only thing on channel 6 (VOD) is the game capture audio and the Spotify through application audio capture.

[spiral ruin]

!cleanlog
Stream for 30 seconds or so while spotify plays. Then stop the stream. Upload the log and while I'm looking at that, check the VOD for the spotify audio.

[oblique yew]

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

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

[spiral ruin]

Not correct, iracing game capture audio is also on track 6

[sly halo]

Yeah, that second picture shows where I fixed that. Sorry about that.

[spiral ruin]

Have you completed the test stream yet for the log?

[sly halo]

Just did and still muted

Haven’t done the log

[spiral ruin]

Still muted meaning?
Is the spotify source heard on stream and not in VOD, as expected and configured for?

[sly halo]

Actually, meaning you can hear the Spotify source during the live but zero sound on the VOD

[spiral ruin]

And that's what you want, right?

[sly halo]

No, I still want to be able to hear the gameplay and my voice during the VOD just no music

The only thing on my VOD track is the game and my mic

[spiral ruin]

Post the log. Your last screenshots showed the mic and game audio sources set for the VOD track. They should be there if nothing has changed.

[spiral ruin]

slow down. I didn't ask for another photo of your screen.

[sly halo]

Don’t tell me to slow down. I’m trying to be as helpful as you are.

I’m not going fast

[spiral ruin]

You aren't when you are not following the instructions.

[sly halo]

What instruction have I not followed?

I sent you an extra screenshot. Was that not following instructions?

[spiral ruin]

This here: #plugins-and-tools message
Do the stream, check the stream and if something wasn't right, post the log. You still haven't posted the log.

[sly halo]

You did not tell me to send any other screenshots, so I’m trying to figure out where I wasn’t following instructions

[sly halo]

Right because I’m arguing with you about you telling me to slow down because I sent a picture

[spiral ruin]

And I mean slow down by waiting for me to reply to your last question or last provided information.

Please provide the log.

[sly halo]

Now I’ll go try the log

[spiral ruin]

Are you having trouble with the log? It's directly available from the help menu. No need to stream again, unless you had closed OBS since your last test.

[sly halo]

Nope, no trouble at all. Just trying to find this message in my browser instead of my phone.

Yea I didn't mean the script themselves but the triggers. I was kind of blind though because apparently they ran the scripts using some random game launcher

[late trench]

why the groups in Scene Tree Folder

arent real groups ?

[obsidian agate]

Because the SceneTree folder plugin isnt related to groups at all.

[late trench]

I see

[obsidian agate]

Its about having an organized archive of the scenes in your collection

[late trench]

which is better having game capture for each game or
advance sence switcher with one capture and the macro will change it

[obsidian agate]

Just set up a hotkey for a single game capture. No plugin needed

[oblique yew]

Game capture sources allow you to use a hotkey mode to capture the currently active window, allowing you to use one game capture source for all of your games and even allowing you to switch games easily. To activate this mode:

1. Open the game capture source's properties. (You can do this by double clicking on the source in the sources list)
2. Change the game capture's Mode to "Capture foreground window with hotkey"
3. In Settings > Hotkeys, set up a hotkey for "Capture foreground window".

[late trench]

for auto switch

[obsidian agate]

Ah, probably still a single

[late trench]

single ?

[obsidian agate]

Single game capture

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!

[short heart]

u could probably use a translator?

[past socket]

I think I found one xD

[late trench]

I want to set the path as shortcut

because I don't have space at C

[obsidian agate]

Don’t use a shortcut? Just create the folder on the D Drive, and point OBS to that folder

[late trench]

i'm using portable obs

this will casue me issue in the future

[obsidian agate]

I use portable mode as well, it should still point to it, since it’s looking at an absolute path, and not a relative path

Unless, of course you’re moving it between different PCs

[late trench]

sorry meant when moving to another setup

which is better

if my stream is on H264

shall I put recording the same ?

or its okay with av1

[late trench]

why can't we record many audio trucks in source recorder ?

I have full audio source how I'm going to record this too ?

[dry spire]

Could someone tell me how to plug in a rtmp for wireless streaming? I'm trying to stream from a dji drone and to do so I have to add the rtmp

[dapper panther]

Windows?

[dapper panther]

Either you stream directly from the dji to twitch or whatever, or you set up a rtmp server on your streaming pc and connect to it with VLC and show that on stream, is my understanding.

MonaServer is the easiest to set up rtmp server i found but is windows only and not sure if it's maintained. I only tried it a long time ago

Actually OBS can have a Media Source > Input > rtmp://192.168

[dry spire]

Someone in windows support helped me out. the drone will generate its own rtmp that it will show me; i can then create a media plug in and insert the rtmp that is given to me

[dry spire]

what I was too slow to get at

thank you for wanting to help though!

[dapper panther]

Don't you still need a rtmp server or does the drone do that?

[dry spire]

the drone creates one

[dapper panther]

Oh cool

[dry spire]

the mavik pro from dji has more capability then i'll probably ever use😂

[dapper panther]

Did they end up banning them all in the US?

[dry spire]

Not to my knowledge It's just an older drone as far as I know

[spiral ruin]

DJI is fine, no changes in the US for sales of their products.

[dry spire]

@dapper panther so I did need to download a rtmp server; some of the newer dji drones can generate their own from my understanding. I downloaded monaserver and got everything to work

[marble trench]

I have 2 scenes on my scene collection (which contains over 25 scenes) that I'd like to share with a friend. The scenes have assets that I'd need and they also use some plugins. What is the best way to do this so I can pass it on to another person so they can include these 2 scenes in their already existing Scene collection that they already have?

[spiral ruin]

Maybe with the Source Copy plugin. But your friend will have to install the same plugins your scenes use, as well as receive the media files separately.

[marble trench]

So could he just put the assets anywhere and then use the 'find missing files' to locate them once he's imported the scenes?

[spiral ruin]

basically yes.

[marble trench]

I can't believe OBS doesn't just have this built right in rather than do it this way. I get the plugins would need to be installed etc. It just seems like people would want to share things they've made with others and I can't be the first person wanting this. But thanks, I'll do it this way.

[spiral ruin]

No one has really needed something like this before, plus limited number of people willing to work on other things that are considered higher priority.
Besides, Sharing scenes and sources to other pcs is not as easy as drag and drop. Hardware differences, lack of media sources and plugins, etc make it a very manual process after the scenes/sources are imported.

[vale vine]

I wouldn't say any of that is actually true

[spiral ruin]

which part?

[late trench]

@loud wedge I've got an idea for adv ,

[vale vine]

Some sort of cloud storage/backup for getting up and running anywhere has been widely requested

[spiral ruin]

beside, any 😉

yeah, for a long time

[vale vine]

And packaging up an entire build for someone easier has been asked several times

[spiral ruin]

true, just haven't seen anyone willing to put in the hours for it.

[vale vine]

The "not able/wanting to commit to working on it right now" is true

But an easier method of sharing prebuilt scenes including assets would be pretty awesome

[spiral ruin]

would be very awesome. And a master audio bus

[vale vine]

As is the case with lots of "nice to haves" is *limited dev time

[mortal harbor]

have you all not heard of the scene collection manager plugin? 😄

[spiral ruin]

I have, but I thought is was a feverish dream.
But seriously, is it soonish™ ?

[mortal harbor]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/scene-collection-manager.1434/

this plugin will export scene collections and include all assets

[spiral ruin]

excuse the user, he seems to be experiencing early onset old age stupidity. I was thinking of the future and a plugin manager. Been talking plugins all morning behind the scenes at VB Audio and Touch Portal.

[vale vine]

I will remember this once I've personally recommended it at least 3x 😉

That's why you get paid the medium bucks

[round hawk]

Is anyone familiar with NDI that could offer some knowledge? When I start OBS without the plugin, I get somewhere around 1.5-2 avg time to render frame. With it on, it jumps to 8.5-11ms and I believe it's what's causing my skipped/missed frames that I've been experiencing. The weird part is that I've used NDI for a long time to capture my gameplay from my game pc, however, it wasn't until the past couple of weeks that I've been experiencing issues. Does NDI just naturally increase the avg time by that much? How would I go about lowering this?

[winter wigeon]

how do i disable vertical aitum and screen horizontal again?

[clever wigeon]

Anyone know of a plug-in to turn csv data into charts/graphs?

[quiet bramble]

no, but it'd probably be easy (for a developer) to make one in python or lua

Probably the easiest way to do it would be with javascript on a web page sourced with Browser Source though.

[fluid goblet]

can anyone recommend a good customizable scoreboard app/plug-in that works with streamlabs/obs?

So I've been mucking with AI a lot lately and just about have it trained to generate OBS shaders for shaderfilter. It's writing shaders that almost work, following the right semantics and stuff, gave it the Shaderfilter docs reformatted and some other stuff, several hundred working OBS shaders... it's doing pretty good overall but I need to keep working on it. Once I have the process working much smoother I want to see if I can train it to do shadertoy shaders and convert them to OBS. Next will be figuring out multipass shaders in LUA 🙂

Had to train it on all the bugs and idiosyncracies of OBS shader parser versus HLSL documentation too, still refining that.

Pretty fun experiment so far. 🙂

Mostly using Qwen2.5 in LM Studio if anyone's curious. Deepseek and a few others dipped their toes in a bit also. Wish I had a 4090 damnit. LOL

[minor coral]

Hey guys, any source record user here ? Each time i try record it, the whole OBS just crash... any idea why ?

[outer socket]

i need to press 1 button and have a clip created, I tried using nvidia but too many issues with certain games not working with shadowplay.

any other programs for this?

[oblique yew]

The replay buffer is a feature that allows you to keep a rolling buffer of OBS' output for a set amount of time (known as "flashback recording"), which can be saved to disk as a recorded video when a hotkey is pressed. You can enable it via Settings -> Output.

[quiet bramble]

The Source Record plugin is unstable, not sure if there are specific ways to work around it or not, but it's a common issue IIRC.

[hallow vale]

Can you screenshot the settings for the source record filter for us?

[clever wigeon]

🫡

Appreciate the direction.

[wise palm]

Wouldn't a Portable Installation, combined with Scene Collection Switcher or whatever that Plugin is called do most of this?

[vale vine]

For you to scroll back and reply to that and miss where we already discussed scene collection manager, bit odd

[wintry wedge]

Has anyone else used this before? It doesn't seem to generate anything as intended.
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/animated-gif-creator.1589/

[spiral ruin]

Last updated on the day it was released... 2 years ago last month... and hardly any activity on the discussion side. Good bet it's not in active development or support.

[wintry wedge]

Likely, but I was hoping someone might know something. There's stuff on there from 2023. And one mention of something from January this year.
So it must have been fine for a while.

If no else has much experience with it, I'll tackle it again later and look over the LUA more in depth

[wintry wedge]

Okay, so I got it to work finally. But not sure how... Gonna do a few more test!

[digital fox]

Hey has anyone used truffle chat beofre I need some help on it.

[trail rapids]

Is “OBS ProfileSwitcher Plugin” something real that was discontinued? Or something that ChatGPT hallucinated?

[mortal harbor]

what are you trying to accomplish?

[trail rapids]

(I’m looking for something to allow me to save and restore between multiple sets of global settings.)

[mortal harbor]

this is what the profiles menu at the top of OBS is for

[trail rapids]

I was under the impression (based on my own limited experience) that many global settings (resolutions, encodings, etc) aren’t bindable to profiles)

[mortal harbor]

nope

[trail rapids]

Ok… I just know I’m trying to switch between 2 distinct configurations and am nervous of breaking something. (I have VDI streaming to my windows machine, but want to be able to stream from my Mac without breaking the VDI setup)… I haven’t gotten OBS -> twitch working yet… but I think it’s more confusion over juggling multiple setups… the source recording plugin is half of the solution I was looking for.

I’ll come back here (to #macos-support ) if I get stuck…

[hard jay]

As a note, some things are saved in Scene Collections, and some in Profiles.

If you're trying to have two distinct sets with different resolutions and outputs, I'd recommend making one of each.

[pine terrace]

Hi does anyone know why the chat/ and stream information tab has gone out of Docks. Thanks

[spiral ruin]

!docks
Check your Docks menu, make sure they are available and checked. If they are not there, disconnect/reconnect your stream account in OBS Settings - Stream.

[oblique yew]

Docks in OBS can be managed from the Docks menu in the main OBS window.

You can toggle docks on and off, or lock or unlock docks to prevent moving and editing, as well as add custom browser-based docks here.

You can also reset the UI from this menu to return your docks to their original state (Docks > Reset Docks).

[pine terrace]

Thankyou

[wintry wedge]

Also, if you don't know about it already. Look into the jrDockie plugin, it will come in handy if you ever mess up your docks or wanna try a new layout!

[pine terrace]

Perfect thanks I’ll take a look

[quiet bramble]

It's possible, but none that I am aware of. An alternative approach however, is to install a copy of OBS portable, configure it to portable mode with different settings, and run 2 copies of OBS at the same time. Install the Spout, Teleport or NDI plugins in both installs that allow sharing video between applications, and then add a filter on the source or scene that you want to record, to export it over Spout/teleport/NDI to the second OBS, and record the second video with that. You can run multple copies of OBS like this, and if using NDI they can even be on different computers on a network. Each copy of OBS will put more overhead on the system however, but that can be reduced by disabling the preview window except during setup.

[subtle goblet]

Hello! I'm searching for a way to create a follower goal bar.
Googling has been unhelpful, rediredicting me to either Streamlabs (which seems an alternative to OBS, which I don't want to switch away from), Streamelements (which has only 4 options, all ugly) or Own3d (which is seemingly just broken).
Honestly, it feels like OBS has to have some plugin or somesuch that can help me, possibly without even resorting to any "big names" in stream overlay stuff, but I don't know where to look.

[quiet bramble]

The primary 2 top solutions for that are as you've already learned, StreamLabs and StreamElements, both of which can be used as addons to OBS. There are other options out there that are not as common or well known. The Resources section of the OBS forums lists the options that are available to which the provider of those options desired to have their solution listed in an official repository. Anything not listed there is probably not well known or commonly used.

[subtle goblet]

How can I use StreamLabs as an addon to OBS? It keeps redirecting me to the download for StreamLabs Desktop, which is 300MB and that makes me think it's a fully-fledged OBS alternative, not a plugin...

[quiet bramble]

If the available popular or less popular solutions do not meet someone's requirements, other options are to make a custom do-it-yourself solution from scratch, or alternatively to modify an existing solution that is open source to change it as desired. For those that are not developers, another option is to hire someone on Fiverr or other website to implement a custom solution.

StreamLabs has a plugin for OBS last I remember.

They used to have "Stream Labels" which was a separate program that worked alongside OBS but I think they replaced that with a native OBS plugin in the last year or two. I don't use any of these myself so I haven't kept fully up to date on the latest stuff, but people talk about them here all the time.

[subtle goblet]

Googling "streamlabs obs plugin" did lead me to find it. Trying to install it now.

[quiet bramble]

Ah, beat me to it 🙂

[subtle goblet]

Windows Defender keeps freaking the hell out, thinking it's malicious. I'm willing to believe it isn't, and it's just an overreaction to the plugin trying to do its job, but still, this is preventing me from installing it.

I'm trying to get it to allow it, but it just keeps popping warnings.

Apparently it's some new issue with the plugin being erroneously flagged as a virus - there's a two-week-old Reddit post about it.

I managed to get Windows Defender to chill, but it took some doing.

[wintry wedge]

Assuming it's the official one. If it's the installer you can always click on the properties and uncheck the following

[subtle goblet]

Aaaargh, now OBS itself won't open because of Windows Defender... this is becoming a nightmare

One anxiety-fueled panic later, I've had to uninstall the plugin. OBS opens again, thankfully.
I think I've found out I can customize the Streamelements ones, replacing the image assets. That might look nice.

[hallow vale]

You don't need the Streamlabs plugin to use their stuff. Things like progress bars would be made on their website and used in OBS as browser sources. Same as alerts and chat

As you have found, they're having difficulty with Windows defender

[quiet bramble]

It's weird, I never have Windows Defender problems with OBS, but I disable the "upload stuff to the cloud" option in it too. I presume people who have those problems have the "submit things to cloud for scanning" option enabled.

It is good practice to find the official website of a given plugin, or to download it via the OBS Resources page and what they link to as an official location. Note that the top search results from Google and other search engines might be paid for malware positioning, so don't trust top Google search results for "official website" links.

If in doubt, one can always ask in Discord here if a given URL is official for something and have 200000 people weigh in.

[hallow vale]

This us a new issue with the SL plugin, just popped up the lastfew days IIRC. Hopefully they get it fixed up soon

[quiet bramble]

Antivirus/antimalware software always has the possibility of generating false positives and negatives, and that comes along with choosing to use it, part of the tradeoff. So from time to time we have to deal with that, and do our due diligence when we get warnings/detections to look into them until we have enough info to feel confident that we're making the correct choice to allow or deny something, and to reconfigure the antimalware software to permit something if necessary. Just comes with using that kind of software as part of doing business.

I disable the cloud heuristics part of AV software as I don't like the idea of ANY software on my computer automatically uploading random files on my hard disk into their cloud, especially with the history of hackers breaching virtully every computer system known to man online over time.

Once month after patch Tuesday, Microsoft updates Windows to pop up a security warning to me that I'm not submitting things to their cloud and makes me have to click "Dismiss" on 2 security warnings every month like clockwork, which is annoying but hey, if it gives me what I want then it gives me what I want. I need to look into if there is a registry key to disable that rechecking.

[toxic bluff]

Does anyone know if there's a trigger for Advanced Scene Switcher for when an audio source is muted/unmuted?

[mortal harbor]

I was actually looking at ths yesterday, as far as I can tell no.

[toxic bluff]

Alright, thanks.

[untold jay]

@toxic bluff @mortal harbor Is this relevant? Would need 2 macros, 1 to trigger on mute, 1 on unmute, unless there's a better way.

[toxic bluff]

Bingo, exactly what I needed! Thank you!

[mortal harbor]

thank you from myself as well, I spent way too much time on this yesterday to not notice the "unmuted" was a condition of "configured volume level"

[stark narwhal]

You might get away with a else condition there

New feature with newer versions

Hi there, is there any maintained plugin like https://github.com/henke37/window-follower ?

I'm trying to record 2 windows of Jetbrains Intellij. 1 "static" main editor Window and 1 "moving" code suggestion window.

[quiet bramble]

Not quite sure what it's supposed to do from the description, but putting a window in a scene by itself and layering other items on top of it in that scene, then using nested scene in another scene, if you move the scene around all the other items in the nested scene will too. Another option is probably some fancy setup with Advanced Scene Switcher, the general Swiss Army Chainsaw of OBS plugins.

[tired lily]

It basically adds a filter for Window Captured Sources that moves the Source in Scene when the Window gets moved.

This is useful for me since the Intellij opens the code suggestions in a separate window and with that filter i would be able to move the that window automatically to the point where it should be (eg where the cursor in the editor window is).

[last fjord]

Hey Guys can anyone help i dont know how i can see the chat on obs

[lunar jolt]

where can I get the settings

[patent pendant]

For which platform?

[glossy jacinth]

how do i install VST plugin? i installed Marvel GEQ to the premade location in installer and when i go to obs and try to use Marvel GEQ on my microphone it doesnt show and it show only {Plse select a plug-in}

well it also made .dll file where should i put it?

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio supports many VST 2.x plugins which can be applied to your audio sources as a filter. For more information, see the VST 2.x Plugin Filter guide.

[glossy jacinth]

in commonn files i see only VST3 and not VST2

so i should create VST2 and put that dll here?

[mortal harbor]

this makes me think that the VST you are trying to use is VST3, which will not work in OBS.

[glossy jacinth]

hmm then i isntalled wrong version

[mortal harbor]

this is just my assumption if that VST has installed to that VST3 folder.

[glossy jacinth]

yes

its in VST3

i see

that plugin is VST, VST3, AAX

?? but how

[fossil wyvern]

obs cannot currently use vst3

[glossy jacinth]

hmm well

then i will use everything without that plugin

or is there any VST2 alternative to Marvel GEQ

that can do this

[hallow vale]

Try installing the one labeled just VST

[mortal harbor]

yeah was just going to say, you need to make sure that is selected when you run the installer

[glossy jacinth]

geez but that still saying VST VST3 AAX

[mortal harbor]

yes I ran that installer and had these selections

there we go, works fine I had downloaded a different one

[glossy jacinth]

oh now it work

i for some reason didnt uncheck VST3 and AAX

[outer ledge]

Hello, I wanted to ask if anybody in this server had any suggestions for tools that would allow me to control OBS from a laptop that isn't my streaming PC. Essentially I use a PC for gaming/streaming, but sometimes I stream from my kitchen and I have the scenes all setup with remote cameras, but I still need to find the right tool to switch scenes and stuff.

In an ideal world I could just have an identical OBS window on my laptop that's somehow connected to the OBS on my PC but I don't think that's possible. I strongly prefer an option that will let me switch scenes while also showing me the scene I chose so I don't have to open twitch on the laptop (which I can do but it's just a little more annoying than if there was a program/tool that would do it all in one). Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much!

[oblique yew]

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

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

[hard jay]

also just using like RDP or a similar screen sharing app like Teleport is easy enough.

[wintry wedge]

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm not sure when Exeldro added the stream function to Source Record.
But I just noticed that Source Record and Branch Output do the same thing... With the exception that Source Record has the record mode, path, file name formatting, etc. While Branch Output doesn't but has a status dock for the branch outputs, and recordings.

I only just noticed this, cause I went to see if Source Record saved to a separate folder (thankfully it does).
But I was caught off guard, cause I never really played with it before and just noticed the stream mode in Source Record.

[weak escarp]

I added stream function to source record in June 2021, but it was just a single line in the release notes, so it can easily be missed.

[wintry wedge]

That's awesome to hear! And definitely can see that lol. I only just started playing around with it, despite having it for a while . So it completely surprised me!

Out of curiosity, and I'm glad you responded. Would it possibly be easy to add a gif generating function or render option? I was recently testing the gif creation LUA someone made, and I'm currently testing something with Streamer Bot for rendering a GIF from a video from Source Record. So I was thinking, maybe it could be useful for generating stream gifs on the fly?

I'm currently looking at uploading the gifs to GIPHY from the API, then using them elsewhere.
I also just currently saw they have a create gif from video option. But I'm not sure how the quality is just yet.

But what do you think?

[weak escarp]

I would have to look into that. I am not sure how difficult that is to make.

[untold jay]

@wintry wedge The source record plugin can act as a replay buffer. You could write a script that tells source record to save replay buffer, wait for it to finish, then do..
ffmpeg -i %1 -filter_complex "[0:v]scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen[palette]; [0:v]scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos[x]; [x][palette]paletteuse[out]" -map "[out]" %1.gif
..where %1 is the file name. This will produce a GIF scaled to 320 pixels wide, keeping aspect ratio, using palettegen (higher quality than the default palette).

don't forget to allow replay buffer to finish savinbg; the "save replay buffer" weksocket command returns "ok" as soon as it's received, not as soon as the file is done writing, and I'd assume the same applies to scripting - perhaps there's a callback for "replay buffer done writing"?

[wintry wedge]

Sounds good! If not no worries. Thanks for responding earlier btw.

@untold jay Noted! I'll have to look into that. Cause currently the LUA I tried earlier uses a script. But definitely looking for a simpler version.
Cause right now I'm testing what I can do with C#, which would use ffmpeg to render the a gif from the video then just upload it to GIPHY.

But I'll definitely consider it, so thank you for mentioning it!

[spiral ruin]

22 plugins? congrats, probably a new daily high. Is this issue related to a specific plugin? Or recordings in general?

[late trench]

specific one

Source Record

[fossil wyvern]

show what you selected in the audio section of the filter

[late trench]

I can hear myself too

like dude wtf

[fossil wyvern]

if you select the source mic-in instead of the scene it's in, does it work

[late trench]

no

but I found the issue

idk why happens

let me explain

the audio not recording unless i'm in main-screen scene

and my recording filters are inside RecordingSources scene

wtf

[fossil wyvern]

to be clear, when I said select mic-in, I meant in the properties of the filter

instead of the device-audio source

[late trench]

yeah I knew that

tried it before

let me show you

u mean like this

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[late trench]

nope it doesn't

unless i'm at MAIN-Screen scene

@weak escarp sorry for the tag but does this make sense ?

does the audio not recorded unless the scene is active or something

[fossil wyvern]

well, rude

delightful

[spiral ruin]

gonna be one of those days...

[late trench]

🤔

[fossil wyvern]

yeah...

[spiral ruin]

You either have buggy Groups, which can happen, or the filter is not on the right source to be effective.

[late trench]

when I'm in the recording scene itself the audio not recording too

do I have to add the audio source ? but its already selected by filter

also mic didn't disappear

[spiral ruin]

Like I said, Groups get buggy. Can always test with a new scene, add a visual source, select the same audio source that isn't recording right now, and see if the Source Record filter on that scene catches the audio fine.

[late trench]

when I create new scene shouldn't all the audio sources disappear in audio monitor ?

I have no sources yet

but these still active

[fossil wyvern]

that's scene folders, not groups

they do.'t have groups on the audio sources

[late trench]

the reason for this
#windows-support message

[spiral ruin]

Global audio sources will be part of a new scene. That should be it.

[stark narwhal]

Issue was vertical canvas

[spiral ruin]

gotcha, just saw a had a reply while afk

[stark narwhal]

Having multiple scenes active at the same time

[late trench]

but do you know why source record doesnt record the audio unless its active

like not in background

should be showing in audio monitor then it will record

[stark narwhal]

Honestly I never have used vertical canvas nor source record before.

They probably operate differently internally would be my guess.

[fossil wyvern]

because if it's not active then there's no audio to record

[west marlin]

How do people do rearranging of certain parts like this in obs cause the day and money arnt normally like that also it’s live

[fossil wyvern]

cropping and rearranging

[mortal harbor]

you'd create a scene with just your game capture source, then add that as many times as you want as a scene source in a separate scene and crop out what you want.

I am not proud of how many times I edited that my brain is fried apparently

[fossil wyvern]

I feel you

[west marlin]

Kk Ty so much

[fossil wyvern]

why recommend the nesting here, tho?

[mortal harbor]

debugging something all morning and now my brain doesn't work

[fossil wyvern]

for crop to stay when size changes?

[mortal harbor]

just describing it as I would typically do myself

[fossil wyvern]

am not saying it's wrong, but why add multiple sceneitems of the scene instead of scenetitems of the gc source itself?

[mortal harbor]

habit

[tacit holly]

is their a way to have key bindings work in a browser source without opening the interaction window or am i a fish swimming upstream?

[mortal harbor]

yeah you'd need to have the interact window open to do any type of interaction with it.

[tacit holly]

ok thank you

[vale vine]

[viral crater]

Hey I have a quick question. I've been using the multistream RTMP plugin by SoraYuuki for the longest time now and just noticed it's possible to change the output audio encoders for its targets, but when I go to check my options, I only have get from OBS available with no option for FFMPEG AAC. So far I've been skirting by with Yt by not using stuff that I know I'd get claimed/struck for (though still content IDd of course), but going forward I'd like to be able to just avoid the issue altogether and thus have been trying to figure out how to set it up so I can send the same track the Twitch VOD uses to Yt and other platforms potentially instead.

And just to clarify, for whatever reason, be it foresight from initial setup, default hardware, or otherwise, I have already downloaded/installed encoders for HVENC/NVENC and FFMPEG for OBS, but it's only showing for the video and not audio, so I'm not too sure if all I'd need is to just look for an FFMPEG audio encoder download for the program or not, especially since it's likely it probably already exists in OBS in some form since it's typically the program's default encoder.

[hallow vale]

FFMPEG AAC is the default and should be included in OBS without any downloads needed. If you go into OBS Settings > Output > Streaming, is FFMPEG AAC an option there?

[viral crater]

It just says AAC (default)

So I'd assume yes

This is how things look in the main settings and plugin respectively

[hallow vale]

Okay, good. Are you on the latest version of OBS? There was something a lil buggy about the audio encoders a version or 3 back

[viral crater]

Atm no, 30.2.2 but I can quickly do an update I suppose

still nope

[hallow vale]

Dang, I'm trying to reproduce it on a profile of my own. No dice. I thought it might have been related to the black magic used for Twitch VOD track but nah

[hallow vale]

Do you have any antivirus or antimalware besides Windows Defender?

[viral crater]

nope

[hallow vale]

Is the plugin fully updated? (sorry, I'm acting like level 1 tech support here LOL)

In my log, the plugin shows a version number when it loads up. In your log, it doesn't say anything about it. Close OBS and run the installer, see if that helps https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp/releases/download/0.6.0.1/obs-multi-rtmp-0.6.0.0-windows-x64-Installer.exe

I try to animate the round borders and the crop by changing the scene.
But it doesn't work.

I activated Start Trigger and Simultaneous move, it's an effect on my cam

[spice scroll]

hey anyone here an expert with MOVE plugin by @weak escarp ? I am currently experiencing a known issue where the GET TRANSFORM button will not capture the coordinates - I even tried to enter the data manually, however the numbers inputted seem to be applying the relativistic function (e.g. enter 50 on X and it moves 500 pixels.

Looking for some advice on how I might get the get transform button to capture the data so I can start using this plugin properly.

[weak escarp]

most likely the filter is on the source instead of the scene

[spice scroll]

I have tried both applying the filter to a group (with the source in the group) and applying the filter to a scene but in either case, the get transform button does not capture the data

okay nevermind, I was about to screen record but this time around the get transform captured the data when using the scene ---- so the trick is to use it only on a scence I guess...... thanks for your help

Hello! I try to setup the Spurce Record plugin. First with obs on the same laptop. I have one filter for webcam and one filter for display. Once I enter a game, the display recording stops. Only the webcam continues.

Then I tried with elgado hd60x with obs on another laptop and I setup everything from scratch. And the issue is similar, but I forgot to check when it stops. I could try it tomorrow as I don't have acces to the laptop now. Also this time, the file is not playable, on the first pc I could play it up until it stops before starting the game.

How do i resize my initial/default scene in OBS, while messing with the second Move Source filter, so that I can swap back and forth between the two?

[fossil wyvern]

you cannot resize the scenes.
to "zoom" a source inside a scene, just crop it to the size you want, and then grab the handle to upscale it to fit it

!crop

[oblique yew]

To crop a source in OBS Studio, there are two options:
A. Crop the source directly by holding Alt/Option and dragging the source's resize handles. The sides turn green to indicate they are cropped. Note: the preview and source must be unlocked.
B. Add a Crop Filter to crop the source prior to applying other filters. Note: this filter applies to every instance of the source, regardless of scene.

err sorry, source not scene

right, right

so, what button is option?

PERFECT

[silk verge]

I have used Multiple RTMP outputs plugin with 3 transmissions at the same time but today only the main transmission works, the second one but the third one does not receive data and there is a lot of buffering. It is only happening to me with kick. Do you have any ideas?

[oblique yew]

If your stream is disconnecting or OBS Studio reports dropped frames, follow our Stream Connection Troubleshooting guide for details on how to reduce these issues.

[silk verge]

It's not that the connection is stable, as I say, YouTube twicht transmits without losing frames, the one that loses frames is kick and it's only happening to me today, I already updated the plugin

[fossil wyvern]

which means you have connection issues to kick

[silk verge]

So I'm going to follow the steps in the article and tell you, thank you very much.

[outer socket]

we are now cooking

[fossil wyvern]

well done, that looks great

[silk verge]

I already did the steps in the article and unfortunately it doesn't work, look here at some screenshots

in kick it passes very little data which causes the buffer but on youtube and twicht it works fine, I tried just doing the transmission in kick and the problem persists

[fossil wyvern]

did you contact your ISP?

[silk verge]

I haven't made it a friend because the internet is arriving well and as I say on Twicht and YouTube it's going well or if I contact them what can I tell them?

[fossil wyvern]

"hello, my connection to the kick ingest server is instble, please fix it"

[silk verge]

I called and they told me that the internet is flawless, they even restarted the router and everything is fine.

[fossil wyvern]

can't be an issue of the router if it was, then there'd also be issues with youtube and twitch

and if their internet was flawless then there'd be no issues to kick

Can anyone recommend a capture card?

[unique cosmos]

hi! are there any input overlays i can use on MacOS?

[naive cliff]

Hi, I need help.
We are currently exploring livestream solutions and have been able to implement a delay in our broadcasts. However, we are facing a challenge: while we can create a delay, we are unable to edit or make adjustments when issues occur during the livestream before it reaches the audience.

We are looking for a solution that would allow us to edit or intervene in the live stream during the delay period, so we can fix or manage any issues in real time before the broadcast goes live to viewers.

Could you please advise if Streamlabs offers any features or plugins that would enable this level of control? We are particularly interested in knowing if there is a way to edit or modify the stream during the delay window to ensure a smoother and more controlled broadcast experience.

[untold jay]

@naive cliff You got your posts backwards, this one was meant for Streamlabs' support channel, and vice versa. But to answer the actual question, yes, it's possible: run 2 copies of obs-studio, use the xObsBeam plugin to send audio and video from the 1st instance to the 2nd instance, then add multiple "render delay" filters to the video, then decide how to delay the audio. I'd use the adelay filter from the obs-ffmpeg-afilter plugin.

After that, you'd use the first instance of obs-studio to do the composition, then use the second instance to do streaming, and if something unsafe happens on the stream, you'll have a reasonable amount of time (say, 2000 ms if you use 4 render delay filters) to react and switch scenes.

[naive cliff]

thank you so much for your information

[weak escarp]

I have a test version of a plugin that has changeable stream delay and can replace the delay with a recorded part, but that is all still experimental:

[restive perch]

Anyone aware of a plugin that allows control of source visibility from twitch chat? there are times where I'd like a moderator to show or hide a source

[old rain]

Not aware of a plugin, but it's possible to achieve via a Twitch bot to monitor chat messages + a Browser Source granted access to controlling OBS. A bit of JS, basically.

[mortal harbor]

lumia stream allows you to control this + a lot more with messages in your chat

[restive perch]

Glad that if I had to have it made that it wouldn't have been crazy

On the first try: display capture recording did not stop after starting the game, I could see the size of the recorded file increasing. So it's an improvement. But I can't open the file with VLC, I think it is corrupted or something. Here is the log: https://obsproject.com/logs/tKjcifs1mOIXTIzP

On the second time it worked though and I can open the file too. So there is the chance that sometimes might not work? I will give it some more tries, but for now I don't feel this is a reliable way to record.

And there's an yellow screen border now while it is recording. It is only visible while I play, not on the recording, but it would be nice if I could get rid of it.

Your help is really appreciated, thanks!

When using a Display Capture or Window Capture source with the "Windows 10 (1903 and up)" method, you will have a yellow border surrounding the portion of the screen being captured. Unfortunately, this border cannot currently be removed on Windows 10.

You can try using another capture method in the source properties, but it's possible this will instead produce a black screen. We automatically disable the yellow border on Windows 11 as Microsoft allows us to.

It is only visible to you, and it will not show up on stream or in recordings.

Do obs have an update. Stream was laggy today was thinking it may was internet
Just wondering if anyone had issues with lost frames during stream

[oblique yew]

For high-quality, no fuss recordings, use the recording quality presets in Simple Mode:

1. In OBS Settings → Output, set the Output Mode to Simple
2. In the Recording section, choose Indistinguishable Quality as the Recording Quality
3. Set your Video Encoder to a hardware encoder, if available

[drowsy grove]

so turns out this is totally against twitch tos...

so i have to stop using it

thank you for the suggestion though :)

do you know if showing twitch and yt chat separately is against tos?

[wintry wedge]

Anytime!

And showing it seperately shouldn't be? I just know they don't like it being displayed. You could always have two separate outputs. Use source record as a filter on a nested scene with all chats, and send the normal twitch one too Twitch maybe?

I'm still trying to think of how it exactly has to be structured. But that would be an option

[drowsy grove]

interesting, will look into it :)

twitch does say you have to give the save experience on both streams though so that may be grounds for breaking tos?

like if youtube can see twitch chat but not the other way around

[fervent marsh]

Twitch's rules on this really seem to be written intentionally vaguely so they can basically stomp on whoever they feel like.

[shut scroll]

my vertical pluigin aint working

[oblique yew]

For help with the Aitum OBS plugin or their tools and services, please join their community Discord server for direct troubleshooting.

[wintry wedge]

That could be possible. You could always of course just turn off the platform icons or colors? And still show all chats.
If you just need to know what platforms they're coming from. Then Lumia Stream's and Stream Bot's chat widget will be fairly good for seeing which platform is which privately.

If you're just concerned with Youtube/Twitch. Easily would suggest Streamer Bot, cause of quick actions. But Lumia Stream covers a lot

Hello folks, is it possible to pacakage a dock as a plugin using primarally just the html page to use in an obs-browser dock? I don't mind the idea of coding some glue in C or whatever to load it, but I'm just curious if I can mostly or completely author dock interface using browser parts rather than native OBS UI code.

I do not know if I'm using the proper terminology, but I believe I am close enough for asking the question

[fossil wyvern]

why not just distribute the HTML then

[jovial hare]

it might have more than one file... javascript libraries and such to be bundled with it, and also asking a person to run it by loading it into a directory "somewhere" and then crafting the file:/// url to load it is a little awkward

[fossil wyvern]

can zip the js with it and it's far far simpler than making a whole-ass plugin for it

[jovial hare]

sure, but there was two other steps there

[fossil wyvern]

making the URL is really not that complex at all

[jovial hare]

and also if there's a plugin manager coming soon it would be nice too

[fossil wyvern]

it's coming soon™, but that's soon™

[jovial hare]

I still think the file:/// url is more complication than a typical person knows, especially on windows where filenames might contain spaces or whatever... plugin installation is pretty standard and populates menus with items, possibly multiple

and I would really rather pursue a method that is easier for users at the minor cost of me doing some work

I'm also not sure if you're implying that it's not possible

or if you don't know

or what

[fossil wyvern]

haven't directly tested myself but afaik it should be doable for a plugin to create a browser dock, provided you know the url to it.
So, in your case, it'd mean creating the file:// yourself in the plugin

hmmm, looking at code, actually, not sure you got access to the necessary shit to do it cleanly

there's always a very dirty workaround, which is to manually edit the global.ini

but... yeah

could actually be not too bad an idea to add an api function to add browser docks, and doesn't seem like it'd be too hard looking at it

[jovial hare]

ok

thanks for the input

Are you saying in plugin context I don't have access to filenames or that I just don't unless I write compiled code? or something else?

[fossil wyvern]

I'm saying you don't get access to an api function to create a browser dock.
you'd need to include this to get access to browser docks https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/UI/window-dock-browser.hpp#L10
but that's not meant to be included in a plugin afaik, and as such probably shouldn't

[jovial hare]

ah

[fossil wyvern]

if you want the quick and dirty :

• listen to the OBS_FRONTEND_EVENT_SCRIPTING_SHUTDOWN frontend event. That event is fired just after custom browser docks are saved.
• meaning you can then config_get/set_string on the "BasicWindow", "ExtraBrowserDocks" config item to append your own browser dock to the list of user-created custom browser docks

the one disadvantage of that, apart being dirty as all fucks, is that it basically requires restarting obs once after the first load of the plugin in order for the dock to appear

[fervent marsh]

cringes

[jovial hare]

yeah I won't pursue that

[fossil wyvern]

awh cmon, you know me, you know this kindda shit is my jam

[jovial hare]

if I wanted to do nasty things I would include the header, if I want to be clean I would make the API

and if I wanted to be lazy, well... your earlier suggestions are the lazy way

[fervent marsh]

It's true, you're good at making me feel like a dirty girl... 😉

[fossil wyvern]

lmfao

[fervent marsh]

To be fair, Pen's hacky suggestion is unlikely to break anything even if obs changes under the hood. At worst that one thing would just stop working for adding a dock.

[fossil wyvern]

wouldn't be too hard to create a small script that lets the user select where they put the html files, crafts the file:// url and that way they just have to copy-paste it

[jovial hare]

that's actually a good point

though portability blaaaaaaaah

but your point is still valid

[fossil wyvern]

a .bat/.sh file that you package with the html and js, and they just have to run it after unzipping

[fervent marsh]

Does the browser dock dialog truly not let you browse for a local file? (Not in front of a computer right now)

[fossil wyvern]

nope

the dialog is literally just a text field

[fervent marsh]

That seems like a fail.

[fossil wyvern]

not really

local html files is honestly a very niche use

it's not absurd that it wasn't thought of or not considered important enough when making the dialog

[obsidian agate]

i want to say that local HTML files have some limitations in regards to XHR and other remote requests. I ended up just setting up a basic NodeJS/Express web server to host all of my custom browser sources

[jovial hare]

They do?

Ugh, found references to that... lovely

I was really hoping to make things for OBS that could run locally rather than hosting them on some website

[obsidian agate]

the NodeJS/Express server is just on a local linux box I have setup in my home

i could run it on my local OBS PC if i wanted, but i like having all of that on my linux server personally

[fossil wyvern]

honestly there's a fair amount you can do

[jovial hare]

Honestly, I was trying to make controls for a streaming site be available inside OBS for users

but users are not smart, I didn't want to have instructions like "set up node" or "run webserver"

nor did I want to run my own website for this service, why do that if you can just run the files locally

but CEF is apparently crippled in some interesting ways too

I need to read if it supports things like oauth

[fossil wyvern]

it does, I'm having a connection to the twitch API, including eventsubs subscription in a local html browser dock, and it works well

[jovial hare]

using this api? https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/identity

[fossil wyvern]

nah

[jovial hare]

what are you using for the redirect URL function to do it?

or what library

[fossil wyvern]

currently not using a redirect url, the twitch api has a machine code grant flow that allows auth without needing redirect urls

am using a library for the eventsub subscriptions, but the rest, doing the auth, and managing the tokens, its validate and refresh I wrote manually

can give you the thing if you want, though do bear in mind most of it is a work in progress, and it's kinda rough cause ngl I'm shit at js and I hate it

[jovial hare]

not right now, thanks for offering... I'm getting disillusioned about my idea at this point

[fossil wyvern]

XD, understandable

out of curiosity, what's the service in question?

[jovial hare]

picarto

[fossil wyvern]

oh, dunnae much about their api, sorry

[jovial hare]

I know their API pretty well, but it's just bog standard Oauth 2.0

it supports PKCE, but not machine grant

still need a redirect URL otherwise it gets cranky

[fossil wyvern]

if you do need a redirect URL, my first version of this (before I realised machine code grant flow was something) basically had a github page as a redirect URL, which simply "extracted" the code and displayed it, so that the user copied it into the dock to auth

[solar dust]

Just as a note, localhost (even with a custom port) is normally functional as redirect URL but it requires a static port.

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, but static port is a big sticking point when you need to distribute to other, potentially tech illiterate users

[fossil wyvern]

but yee basically, just had this as my redirect URL
https://github.com/Penwy/penwy.github.io/blob/main/twitchauth/index.html

idk if picarto also gives the acces token in the hash of the redirect, or rather in a param or smth, but something similar should be doable nonetheless

[jovial hare]

pretty sure it does it in the hash string, but I honestly didn't check recently

I'm gonna go reading things

thanks for suggestions

[fossil wyvern]

don't despair, and don't hesitate to come here to ask more questions or just discuss

I do have a non-negligible tendency to monkeypatch the shit out of things, but sometimes I actually have decent ideas

[vapid charm]

Just remember: you could be trying to use patreon's API which is fun as they themselves dont support it

[fossil wyvern]

never looked into it but yee any echo I got was terrifying

[jovial hare]

I am thankful for that, they seem like a company that wants to keep access closed as much as possible

even more than X

[vapid charm]

No. They "dropped" support.

It's for hosting a gameshow on twitch

Somethin where I don't have to browser source and make it look not as janky

[spiral ruin]

Not sure what's out there for game show style content. UNO Overlays are pretty good, but generally sport-themed. Anything will have to be an overlay, either through a third-party services or something you host and update on your own.

looks like my capture card works on my phone

i got it to work

now i am very happy about it

thanks for the information about to connect

i actually returned the birthday gift and reordered the correct one because they gave me a refund for that gift i returned to amazon

now i can put on some korean shows on my phone

and do stuff like youtube because i just tested the cable on my tv with just my phone

it works

[mortal harbor]

@hard jay

this is my issue update that i am posting

now if you wanted to do this on your phones you would need a compatible android phones like the

phones that supports HDMI input

[hard jay]

Glad it's working!

[mortal harbor]

and do not buy a

two capture cards like i did

it wouldn't work

i did get a refund for this

now i got like piles of gift card balance left in my amazon account

left over

i had some balance for my birthday present i got

someone gifted me a gift card for my birthday present

yesss i finally did i am very happy about it

i have a samsung Galaxy S24

you have to get the correct cable and capture card

to work

and sorry if i am like posting like the piles of the post

because i am very excited

[wintry wedge]

Happy to hear everything is working now! Thanks for the update

[spice scroll]

@weak escarp can i can some 1 on 1 support for your MOVE plugin sometime?

[fossil wyvern]

smh, not even dinner first, romance is dead

[mortal harbor]

ok one question though

is it normal for the capture card to be warm during use?

[fossil wyvern]

any electronic gets hot from usage

question is how hot

generally, the moment you can fry eggs on it is when you should start to get worried

[mortal harbor]

not very hot a little warm

the cable end is hot

probably because i have the quality max

i have the phone screen quality 1080p

[weak escarp]

It is better to ask your question about the move plugin here so others can help and others can learn from it, but if you are willing to pay I can do 1 on 1 support.

[fervent marsh]

<-- now curious what the cost of formal 1:1 support is

[vapid charm]

I'd be surprised if it's no less than 3 numbers.

Per hour of course.

[outer socket]

I'm having issues with Advanced Scene Switcher-- I have two scenes, one for lobby and one for ingame. I can get it to swap to the lobby one just fine. However, the game I am playing has no set UI, and it changes drastically based on any number of factors. Do you guys have any advice?

[outer socket]

Okay, now even with the lobby swapping, it's also giving me grief. Very inconsistent

I thought the lobby macro worked fine but now it does not

[wintry wedge]

What game is it? And there's definitely number of things that can factor in. Would you be willing to show the current ADV-SS settings?

[spice scroll]

The question is understanding how the source order is supposed to work. If I start the source, in top position and set it to change to start absolute, it will move the source to the bottom position. The relative position doesnt seem to have an effect at all.

What I am trying to do accomplish, is to have the source move from whatever position it is (e.g. the bottom) to the top position at the start of the move. I don't understand why "start absolute" will move the source to the bottom of the sources. Maybe your plugin cant do what I am trying to do and I am misunderstanding the point of the source order?

For clearer context, I have 3 media sources in the scene, each in their own group, with the filter applied directly to the scene as per usual. I want the source listed at the bottom, to move to the top, before the start of the move transform.

[weak escarp]

to move it to the top put a high number such as 1000 as absolute value. for move 1 up put relative position 1. for move one down put relative position -1. for bottom move absolute 0

[spice scroll]

Okay so see im a little slow i didnt even think to add a value there. There is a lot of confusing things in your plugin, well, confusing to me anyway! So the value i set in absolute is essentially the position ID, where 0 = bottom and 10 would equal 9 positions above bottom? I got another question for you.

I see there are start/stop triggers. Currently I have the filter running a perpetual loop. What I want to do is have the loop end, when the scene is not active/ not being shown from another scene. I have played around with the options but I dont really understand what each of the triggers really mean. Is it possible to do what I am trying to do and also do you have documentation that explains what each of these options within the plugin are supposed to do?

[weak escarp]

to stop a loop you have to disable the filter that is active at that moment in the loop. so to always stop a loop when not active set the stop trigger to deactivate for all of the filters of the loop

[spice scroll]

you mean this option ?

[weak escarp]

yes

[spice scroll]

Okay cool thanks I have that working ---- is there a method I could implement, to make sure that the transform returns to its starting position --- ideally to reset it to its initial position? I find it just sort of pauses where it was at

[weak escarp]

have a move filter of 0 ms before the first move to reset or a move filter starting on deactivation that resets the position

[spice scroll]

Genious! Thanks so much! I really appreciate that you are here to help your end users! Do you have documentation built for this like a manual that goes in an explains everything? I mean I love getting direct help from the guy who created the plugin but at the same time, a full on manual would be really helpful for nuero divergent slow people like myself 😄

[weak escarp]

I don't have manuals for my plugins as I am not good at and don't like writing manuals. There are multiple YouTube videos about the plugins if you want someone explaining things.

[quiet bramble]

Might be worth trying gen-AI for documentation. Works good with some things.

[fervent marsh]

I'd not think gen AI would be particularly good for that kind of documentation, at least as it is currently.

[pastel comet]

What plugins would you guys recommend for better mic quality?

[spice scroll]

use sonar from steel series, and then use the sonar virtual mic as mic source, you can add equalizers to your mic straight from there

[pastel comet]

Ahh, that's what I was using before actually!!

[spice scroll]

i find its the best method that way your comms come clear on both stream and game/discord

[pastel comet]

thank you, I might need help setting it up. The drivers are still installed on my PC but the application isn't. I don't know how that will affect the installation process.

[spice scroll]

problem there is 99% of videos when searching just give you the how to install and basic use case - its too bad because a lot of stuff if confusing to the lamans lol - i tried searching for hours to figure out what you were able to help me with in a matter of minutes 🙂

[lusty pebble]

I’m having issues with OBS. My videos lag, in fact I can’t seem to get any genuine footage. Also I’m not getting any recordings for my videos either! Every time I hit stop recording it goes to stopping recording and when I close the damn thing, it barely recorded anything!

[oblique yew]

should ask this in the X-Support channel for whatever OS you are in - you will also want to include output logs and provide some more information about your system, OBS version, etc ------ it could be as simple as a bad video card driver, or as simple as some settings but thhe community will need much more info 🙂

[outer socket]

The game's Dead by Daylight. I sadly do not see a settings tab in ADV-SS, did you want to see the macros? or stuff under general tab? I can show either or, not a problem

[wintry wedge]

Are you using has changed or matches pattern? It will give you more options like how frequently it checks, etc. Also it gives a threshold.

[outer socket]

yes, I am using matches pattern

[wintry wedge]

Also when it comes to ADV-SS anytime you change the selected area. You have to clip browser to save a new screenshot. Cause it already ignores the previous one. Also when you do the select area. Do you do it when the game is open?

One sec!

For that enlarge the ADV-SS or scroll down. Is reduce matching latency checked?

[outer socket]

I do clip browser to save, and yes, I do do it when the game is open. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYF15CZXgUE This guy warned me of that little re-clipper trick

[outer socket]

yes sir it is! 🫡

[wintry wedge]

Perfect lol, it's Gael level. Maybe increase the threshold or use has changed. Using a small area.
Cause so far you have two areas, a lobby and in match? Correct?

[outer socket]

yes, yes

the in match area is for macro two

Either it doesn't detect that I'm in the match, or, it does, but the exact SECOND im not in match it switches back to lobby, and I dont want that either. the areas ive selected are very small like in the video, so IDK why it's so senstive

[lusty pebble]

I would love to give it, I’m just not tech savvy enough to understand some of the terminologies or how to set the software unless someone walks be through it step by step. Honestly I think the issue is my PC and the OBS settings. My PC is a weak one and OBS probably needs to be set to handle the power of my capture card and the limits of my PC.

[wintry wedge]

So when looking at the game footage. The lobby should be the easiest to keep. I feel like like the best option is when it does not match. Switch to in game scene, and of course when it does switch to lobby. Though I need to keep looking at the game for a sec.

Someone else may know better how to approach it with that game specifically. But I'm confident we can figure out a solution!
So hold on!

You can also add a delay btw! That will help prevent it from jumping right way

Or you can also reduce CPU load by checking only x number of seconds to max

Part of it switching randomly can be do to threadhold too

[outer socket]

Alright, so, lemme see, instead of doing if balablabla match, we can do if blalab DOESNT match

i shouldve thought of that

alright with this i shouldnt even need a macro two then, i think

i will test this idea out

[wintry wedge]

Pretty much lol, and maybe? I feel like a second macro is needed? But I could be overthinking it a little. But I was thinking one marco for if matches. Go to lobby, if it does not match do nothing or go to main game scene? Something like that, but if it can be done in one action. That could be it

[outer socket]

hmm

are you using cross correlation?

[wintry wedge]

I'm not currently. I don't personally have the game. So I would need to pull in some game footage from Youtube to properly test it. So you'd have to give me a short moment

[outer socket]

Oh, no, dont worry about it, you dont have to do that

[wintry wedge]

It's not a problem, it's just tricky to guage based off images. Cause I can see why it's hard to pin a good selection for the Scene Switcher

So far the only thing I could think of, as stated above.
Is have one marco with a wait at the end. To swtich to Lobby Scene when it matches.
Then have one macro for anytime it doesn't it can switch to main scene, for gameplay and main menus

[outer socket]

Alright, so, I did your idea. I kept macro 1 "if matching this store tab image. switch to the lobby scene" , and I added another macro that says if not matching the store tab image, switch to ingame scene." It kinda works, but now it keeps swapping to the game if I manually switch, to, say, an intermission scene or an ending stream scene

oop, or maybe i misunderstood your idea

[wintry wedge]

Also the threshold tends to really help with how sensitive it is. So pattern matching, and increasing the threshold till its less sensitive.

It may also help to record some small footage to play around with. Then it will be easy to play with the Threshold slider. If you use has changed or has not changed

It might be picking up on the black. So you may have to do exactly matches or does not exactly match.

I just read above you said manually switch scenes. One sec

Only thing I can currently think of, is since it would still be watchign the game. I guess it would see when it's not playing as a has changed. Then switch to game scene. That could be why. So you may need to add another condition to it or have the macros only on when game is active

You can probably have it be. If video scene has changed or has not changed + And scene is. It will isolate it the game scenes only.
Then it should change if you switch scenes to intermission or end screen

[outer socket]

Uuuuhhh no matter how many times I read this, you kinda lost me

I will just copy what's in this screenshot hang on

If I'm reading this screenshot right..

I cannot find the bar that contains or

[mortal harbor]

you click the + again

the idea here is that you're adding multiple conditions so the scene change only happens if you are on the scenes you want it to happen from.

[wintry wedge]

My apologies, I should have mentioned what Mitchell stated!
Thanks, Mitchell!

[outer socket]

Okay, did I have the first part of this right? I think this miiiiiiiiiiiight be it

[wintry wedge]

So for this you kind of have it. You'd need it to just be the first and last part. Remove the Or condition.

Macro 1
If Game Source does not match and scene is is Lobby Scene
◟ switch to Main/Gameplay Scene

Macro 2
if Game Source does match and scene is is Main/Gameplay Scene
◟switch to Lobby Scene

That way it should just be looking for those icons, and referencing those scenes.
You can create the first Macro. Duplicate it, then switch the scene is condition, and switch scene sub action.

That should cover it

[outer socket]

I did exactly this, and it's still not behaving, but at least it isn't messing with any of my other scenes, so. Good progress so far

I think I may just have to fiddle with threshold for another hour or two there's probably an exact percent number somewhere i have to find

Hear me out

What if

Well no nevermind

perhaps if i email the guy that made it

[mortal harbor]

just so I understand, your goal is simply to detect something on the screen and switch to a certain scene when that detection happens?

if so I have to assume you're probably just overcomplicating it as this can be set up in a minute or two.

There's a bible verse plugin for OBS.

" It allows users to seamlessly integrate Bible text, chapter navigation, and verse selection into their live streams or presentations."

yeah church services streaming is a non negligible use, esp since pandemic

[near peak]

You ever wanted the bible verses in a csv or xml file format? IN ALL LANGUAGES?

WELL THERES A GITHUB FOR THAT!

[fossil wyvern]

likely it's not just all language but also multiple translations for each language

There’s only the two macros and two scenes, I am trying to keep it as simple as possible and the screenshot to use “match pattern” function is small but not too small.

ok, when I am on my PC in a few hours I will record a short video of myself setting this up and hopefully you'll be able to follow along.

what is the context though? what game? what screens in the game? what are the two scenes you are switching between?

[fossil wyvern]

dead by daylight if I remember correctly

switch between lobby and in-game

One for lobby and one for gameplay, Pennywern is right

This man gave me a very nice macro that wasn’t very hard to copy on my end, but even if the zone that I give matches in the program, it either doesn’t switch or switches too often.

However it no longer affects any extraneous scenes, so theoretically if I can get it to consistently recognize what I need it to, everything will be a ok

to answer mitchell's questions in order: the game, is dead by daylight. as for what screens, the first screenshot is the lobby: highlighted in red is the rectangle containing two icons that I use to denote the "lobby" scene.

the second one is gameplay, however what's tricky is that everything you see, even the HUD icons on the left, can change at any moment and from match to match, so it's rough to nail down when precisely a game is active.

these are the two scenes i am switching between

i think that was everything

[mortal harbor]

if there is no consistent thing to match in-game then you're going to have an issue.

Does ASS have an active window macro?

Though the game and lobby are probably running same exe

Unlike something like LOL where they are different so my idea wouldn't work here. Sorry, thinking outloud

[outer socket]

It's all one deal, not like league of legends

[vale vine]

Yea that ha

[mortal harbor]

I think when I did this for call of duty I used the loading screen the match to, so if I was already on the lobby screen and that loading screen was detected it would switch.

[vale vine]

Does DBD have a loading screen that always has a persistent element?

Been forever since I've played it

[outer socket]

No, sadly, there’s an icon, but it changes frequently with events.

If you're available, you can DM me and I can do voice call if need be. I feel it's mostly with how ADV-SS kind of dumps things when changing something. So it's easy to adjust one thing, and for it to completely change something that resets the process.

Like the main one you already know, where you have to re take or reset the screen shot.

It's a bit hard to demo without footage

[fervent marsh]

I'd just bind the scenes to F1 and F2 and call it done... 😉
