I only have an android phone and android tablet, is there any way to set up obs or is it possible when streamelements refers to obs it can also work with similar streaming tools?

[queen sierra]

So like, a text overlay as a "filter" would be nice.

Here's the transition I am trying to do with Move Transition. Blue is in, Red is out

I have set up all the blues, but I can't figure out how to intentionally trigger a scene switch in such a way as to pull off the red movements before technically making the switch.

[quiet bramble]

I'm not certain I understand what you're requesting, but the Downstream Keyer might be worth looking into.

[hallow vale]

You can add the Source record filter to a scene instead of just a source.

[wind thicket]

Hey, does anyone know how I can switch from scene 1 to scene 2 in a way that my border, which is curved, transitions smoothly? I don’t want it to go from sharp to curved abruptly and vice versa. It should be possible with Move, but I don’t know how.

I have like 80 plugins.

Okay not 80, I counted, six.

But still. I need those.

How do I make sure they are all up to date? Is there another plugin I can use that automatically does it?

Officially there is no way.

Unoddically there's a plugin I believe that can do that but can't remember the name of it since it's not on the forum nor one that i use.

Hi guys, I use a multistream plugin to send a stream to youtube and twitch at the same time. Problems is if I have copyright music on the stream then youtube detects it and mutes it. Is there a way to send separate audio stream one with music and one without to those platforms at the same time?

[signal barn]

Use Virtual Audio cables they can separate the sounds for you. Takes a bit of look up and tech work. But it can be done.

[fossil wyvern]

so, you want to send with music to twitch and without to youtube?

I successfully added the programs manually and tripled checked all the files were in the right place. I can confirm that the advanced mask plugin is available however I am unable to see the view of the camera now when I add the filter.

I believe I found a bug in the Scene As Transition plug-in

This only switches what you see in the Program output

It actually loads the scene you are switching to at the start of the transition instead of the transition point

[trail kernel]

Hey, does anyone know of a plugin that would make it so that when I unpause my recording it saves 10 seconds before unpausing? That way I can record large portions of video and pause when nothing is happening but also unpause when something important happens and not miss any quick moments. I can't use replay buffer as 1. I want to record for extended periods and 2. I can't use replay buffer while recording is paused. Any suggestions would be appreciated

[mortal harbor]

it would never work like that, if the recording is paused you cannot go back in time you'd have to had been recording at the time.

my suggestion would be to leave a recording going and only keep the parts you want in an editor after the fact.

[trail kernel]

Yeah, the idea was to avoid having 10 hours of footage to go over where half of it is simply a recording autorunning to an objective or something. I suppose I could try the new chapter markers with a plugin that names them so I can mark "boring segment start" "boring segment end", that kind of thing

Thank you though 🙏

[quiet bramble]

That's the way to do it, plus using non-destructive tool like avidemux for ripping clips out of it later on those markers. That's basically how myself and several others I know do it, so we can capture all footage without missing anything but then trim the excess disk usage later to get rid of boring or unusable content.

[balmy linden]

Hi guys - does any one know why when I insert my RTSP Camera address in with Username and Password, it does not show up in OBS. Yet, when I use my streaming platform using the same RTSP Address it is perfectly fine. It is important to note that it worked well last night following the same process on the same camera. The only reason why I want to use OBS is so that we can place a score board on our live stream footage. The live stream camera works perfectly with my other streaming provider with the exact same RTSP, but it suddenly will not connect to OBS through adding Media Source. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Goodafternoon everyone, Please is it possible to get a pre-configred OBS profile, which I can just tweek a bit to get what I need for streaming? I am also looking for how I could get a feature that I can use in OBS to connect multiple cameras and connect wireless while I select the image that's display per time?

Your support to get started fully with OBS will be really appreciated.

[oblique yew]

Please run the OBS auto-configuration tool. To use the auto-config, click on the Tools menu in OBS, select Auto-Configuration Wizard, and then just follow the on-screen directions. You can use this tool to get a set baseline settings for your hardware, and adjust as necessary from there.

[spiral ruin]

^^ That's the simplest way to get started. It would not be possible to have a "pre-configured" profile as the Profile settings are based on your goals and your pc: video settings, recording settings, streaming settings, etc.

Guys, I wanted to know how I can configure the virtual camera to show a certain source and when my mic detects something, switch to another source, simulating as if I were speaking, you know? Is there any plugin to configure event triggers?

[oblique yew]

You can use powerful macros in OBS Studio using timers, cursor detection, window detection, and more to automate switching between scenes, toggle sources, and many other options.

To get started, install the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin and see the GitHub project wiki to learn how to use it.

[pliant umbra]

i am not sure where to look but i am woundering why when i recored a videos for a turtrial on a game why it has the HUD not showing and is there a way to get it to show

or am i in the wrong channel

[spiral ruin]

What game? And is the HUD part of the game, or from a third party source, being drawn on top of the game

[pliant umbra]

the hud is part of the game

and the game is Dayz

[austere ivy]

I think it's in the game's configuration

[pliant umbra]

i can see it when i recored the vid but it don't show up when i watched it

[hallow vale]

Does the OBS preview look like it's a little zoomed in on the game source so the HUD stuff near the edges doesn't show?

[pliant umbra]

that is true i might have not had the full screen when it was recoreded means i might have to re record the turtral video

but i did figure that part out

[limpid rose]

Looking for a Virtual Camera Filter plugin. So i can add facefilters to VDOninja guests

[vapid charm]

I think they mean AR mask kinda thing.

[limpid rose]

@spiral ruin i mean like snapchat or facerig onto vdoninja guest

[quiet bramble]

You can always load the files in VLC player or some other program that reads chapter markers if avidemux is not picking them up for some reason, and ALT-TAB between apps and skip to the time codes. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Hi there! I'm looking to write a plugin, but wanted to see if something was possible within a python script before I dive into learning it (and become disappointed if what I set out to do isn't possible).
Is it possible to just grab a single frame from a source from within a python script? I have a video receiver that shows black and white static when it loses connection, what I'm attempting to do is just grab a frame every second or two to check if most pixels are full white/black in which case it would detect the video feed as static and change scenes

I know from experince that python is rather slow with iterating over every pixel in an image haha
But all I need to do is sample like, 100 pixels maybe for their color so nothing intense

If anyone could point me to some docs that lead me in the right direction and some basic advice as to if it seems reasonibly doable I'd appriciate it :)

[vale vine]

[dusty charm]

well that saves me a damn lot of time then

[dusty charm]

Annd I did it that quick!
I didn't use exactly the method that I described in actually detecting a lot of pure white and black pixels (not sure if that's possible as I've found so far) but I still found what seems like a 100% reliable method

There's always a osd element in the video output that's pure white so I just check for brightness in that particular area to see if it's white enough
and that works like a charm :)

[vale vine]

Nice job! That plugin is pretty amazing and so is the documentation on the wiki

[barren grail]

hey i wanna timer for when juice drops in my obs and his website is https://www.thepartyneverends.com/ how do i remove the background using css? his site has the count down

[dusty charm]

after a quick look at the page sorce code, it seems like .site-content-bg { display: none; } might do it. I haven't tested it yet though

and then maybe html { background-color: transparent } might make the background transparent if you need that too

[barren grail]

oh i just did it like 30 secs ago "/* Remove the main background image /
#main-content picture img.site-content-bg {
display: none !important; / Hides the main background image */
}

/* Remove the inline background styles */
.home-custom-html-section-0.home,
.home {
background-image: none !important;
}

/* Remove background from the entire body or main sections */

background: transparent !important;
}

/* Target specific background color if it persists /

Hi! I'm new to OBS studio and have a question about hardware video encoding. In the docs I see FFmpeg NVENC and Quicksync encoder, but I'm wondering about DirectX 12 encoding - would it be useful to have such option for HW encoding? Or maybe it was discussed already somewhere and this option is not needed. I'm asking because recently started learning DirectX 12 encoding API for fun 😁 and think about practical application of it

I believe DirectX 12 rendering/compositing was discussed here. Not sure on encoding though. #beta-testing-31-0-archive message

[hushed ice]

Hi, can libobs be used to create several independent transmux pipelines? And how scalable is it in this regard? Each pipeline is a RTMP/SRT input, in which I insert CEA608/708 captions and then send it further to another RTMP/SRT endpoint

[fossil wyvern]

why would you use libobs for that?

obs is a compositor. unless you're doing compositing, there's no reason to use it, and far better solutions for it

[hushed ice]

The main thing that interests me is the ready implementation of injecting captions into SEI side data in the h264 stream. libobs, as far as I know, the only opensource library that does this. Of course I can extract this piece of code and integrate it into my gstreamer pipeline, but maybe libobs can be used as a server side framework also

[fossil wyvern]

you can try with stuff like this but tbh p sure just including the part that interests you into your gstreamer pipeline would be far far less painful

using libobs just for captions is kinda using a whole car as a cup holder.

it'll work, but you can probs just, grab the cup holder from it and plop it somewhere else

[hushed ice]

Well, I went through the libobs docs and I got the impression that it is quite decoupled from the logic of the OBS application itself and so can be used as some kind of a mediaframework. I did not dive deep enough though haha

[fossil wyvern]

I'd say it's still a fair bit coupled, but yes, you can deffo unplug it from the obs app and plug it somewhere else. that's what the link I gave you does, that's what SL desktop does...etc.
But all of those are interested in libobs for what is its main function : compositing.
Which you're not using at all

[hushed ice]

In fact, I do compositing, I just managed to do it successfully through GStreamer already. I remix the original audio in case of RTMP and add extra audio tracks in case of SRT. All this, as far as I understand, can be done in obs also

[fossil wyvern]

yup

and if you're compositing audio, possibly bit of a stronger case to use libobs

[hushed ice]

thank you, it was very helpful

If you're absolutely certain you want to reset everything, you can just delete the settings folder

To find OBS Studio's settings files, look in the following OS-specific locations:

const comando = {
'requestType': 'SetSourceFilterSettings',
'sourceName': sourceName,

Does OBS publish Steam Survey like numbers (win vs mac vs linux usage %, gpu type, cpu type) etc? Want to see if its worth it making a plugin work on mac and linux

[vale vine]

I think they really only have the number of downloads per OS(and that doesn't take into account same user downloading multiple times)

[fervent marsh]

That. OBS intentionally doesn't have any telemetry data.

[hard jay]

our userbase tends to trend towards what steam reports though, just from a general observation standpoint.

in terms of user spread across platforms.

but depending on your target demographic of your plugin, it could skew pretty heavily in any direction.

Guys, how do you make this layer behind the capture with zoom and blur? Like in the following video.

Add a source clone of game capture source. Make it lower in source list vs main game capture source. Shrink game capture source size down some. Apply blur filter to the clone. Profit

Is there a plugin to change that yellow border outline color to be red when you are recording?

[oblique yew]

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.

[spiral ruin]

oops, misread that. There may be a way to do that with Themes, but I've never written one myself.

[mortal sigil]

All good, im on windows 11 so maybe it’s possible to disable the border and then use your own with a theme instead? Idk

[spiral ruin]

maybe.

[vale vine]

Ask Microsoft

[wet sorrel]

looking to add a clickable link on screen for donations any suggestions

[fossil wyvern]

that will depend on the platform you're streaming to

[wet sorrel]

twitch and youtube

[vapid charm]

twitch won't work without an extension.

Doubt youtube would work either.

[wet sorrel]

ok the search continues. thanks

[fossil wyvern]

clickable on the video, yeah, that's complex.
But do you need it to be clickable in the video?
Pin a chat message, make a chatbot post the link in chat regularly, put it in the stream title...etc

[wet sorrel]

thanks customer wanted clickable image.

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, might be doable on twitch but probs require a custom solution that is more trouble than worth

[vapid charm]

Originally when I said extension I meant twitch extension though browser extension/userscript would be the closest thing.

Hi, does the StreamLabs plugin work on the OBS rc1 ​​beta?

[oblique yew]

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

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

Hi, does anyone know of a plugin or workaround to set precise audio delays in OBS? like 11.5ms
I can sync my video just fine but the issue is syncing my desktop and mic audio, as I'm a singer I need it to be perfectly on sync and I found the sweet spot is between 11 and 12 but not exactly any of those 😦

[hard jay]

That much delay required indicates an issue with your setup at some point.

oh ms, not seconds, heh

[fervent marsh]

Set it to 11ms and move 17cm further away from your speakers?

Though I admit I'm quite curious about what situation you're dealing with that you can even hear the difference of 0.5ms delay (barring things were phasing artifacts are involved)

[wet tulip]

Turns out I miscalculated earlier.. what I actually needed to sync my mic and desktop audio was 178ms, not 11.5ms 😅 , so sorry about that! Also, while testing, I noticed a weird distortion mid-recording, and after that, everything went out of sync until I restarted OBS.. wierd, but well it's working for now so thank you very much!

[mortal sigil]

Is there a plugin for a recoding indicator that doesn’t appear in recordings?

[dusty charm]

Hi again! I'm wondering if anyone knows of a solution for detecting static from a source. For context, I have a small drone that I'm trying to detect a video feed from. Unfortunately my receiver just acts as a webcam and doesn't report signal strength at all
Initially my solution was to use advanced scene switcher. There's an osd element in the video input that's always white, so I just detected the brightness in the area of that osd element. I've found after a few hours of testing that sometimes when the video breakup is bad in just the right way the brightness of the osd element is no longer a reliable detection method

I was considering writing my own plugin that just counts a random sample of pixels and checks if they are mostly pure black / white as a way of detecting static, but I've never worked with the obs api and it seems like it might be unwise to leave advanced scene switcher behind if there's a way to utilize that.

[mortal harbor]

you could probably just use the pattern matching in advanced scene switcher and find a threshold that works through trial and error

[dusty charm]

I've tried to do pattern matching with a screenshot of static, but from what I've experienced it shows no more higher of a match with static to an actual video feed. Even though all the static looks the same to my eyes I think it's actually too unique for that to work possibly? I don't think the static shows in any particular patterned way, I think every frame of static is totally unique (which makes my curious brain wonder how statistically likely it is to see the same exact static frame twice in a lifetime, anyways besides the point)

I suppose it could work if I had it pattern match with the osd elements, but that would have the same problem where it might not detect it through breakup. Plus it would be nice to make it osd independent so I don't have to configure it to pattern match with every drone I own differently

[dusty charm]

hmm, I went through the process to try and write a script that does this but there doesn't seem to be a community accepted way to capture a video frame from within a script. I assume it's possible because the full obs api is exposed to python scripts, right?
It seems like it's possible for scripts to interact with advanced scene switcher too to add functionality but I don't see reference to processing any of it's video data it captures...
does anyone know what direction to go?

[fickle mirage]

is there a way to loop only a section of an audio file?

[untold jay]

@fickle mirage Trim it in mkvtoolnix gui or losslesscut.

[fickle mirage]

ok but i want it to play from the start and then loop back to a set point

[untold jay]

@fickle mirage Use Audacity or other audio editing software for that, then.

[fickle mirage]

loop infinitely

[untold jay]

!advss @fickle mirage Trim the part that needs to be looped, then add 2 sources - one for the "regular" audio file, one for the looping part. Then, make a macro in adv-ss that begins playback of the looped part after the non-looped part is done.

[oblique yew]

@fickle mirage

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.

[fickle mirage]

doing this causes a gap between the two audio files

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue building the plugin template provided by OBS. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
This is the issue

[fervent marsh]

I think there's a couple of ways to do this, but I don't know what they are off the top of my head. Paging @fossil wyvern when it's awake/around. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.

[fervent marsh]

What are you actually trying to do? (just curious)

[fossil wyvern]

[fossil wyvern]

<@&715347355565817879>

[cedar panther]

Do you build from Power Shell? Last time I built from cmd, in Visual Studio go to Tools -> Visual Studio Command Prompt. This cmd is setup with proper development environment

[dusty charm]

I'm flying an analogue video drone and I'm trying to detect when there's video being received by the video receiver. That way I can auto switch scenes to show/not show the drone video between batteries.
If the static is displayed on the stream the quality looks absolutely potato. I'm steaming 720p 30 at 8000kb/s and when the video is full static between batteries you can't make anything out on the video feed. I've got a race course set up in my home and I'm trying to do nice looking streams trying to beat my own track times

It's also beyond me too, formal drone race commotions I've seen also don't seem to have automations to beat the quality killing static automatically too. I want to share the script with others in the community which is part of why I'm willing to go through a lot to get this little automation going
Thanks for pinging in a referral by the way :)

[fervent marsh]

Oh, okay, I remember seeing the drone static conversation.

Did you actually find a way to accurately detect the static?

[dusty charm]

I found a way to detect the osd elements, but when there's too much video breakup that system doesn't work accurately

[fervent marsh]

So what are you going to do once you can capture frames with your script?

[dusty charm]

The algorithm that I've envisioned would sample 50 or so pixels on the frame and check the color. The static is all either total black or white, so it would check if all sampled pixels are totally black or white. If so it would count it as static
I imagine that should do the trick probably

[fervent marsh]

The entire frame turns to static when there's an issue?

[dusty charm]

The entire frame turns to static once you unplug the drone battery
So between battery swaps it's full static

[fervent marsh]

aha. Hmmmm.

[mortal sigil]

Is there an OBS plug-in that can put a grid on your screen that doesn’t get captured when recording

[mortal harbor]

wouldn't really be something that would be an OBS plugin

but as long as you aren't using a display capture source you could probably use any grid software like this and it won't be captured https://sourceforge.net/projects/clovisgrid/

[quiet bramble]

I dunno of any that don't go into a recording, but I made a shader for doing grids a few years back. Don't seem to have it on my laptop tho... I just toggled it on and off as needed for layout etc. Another option is to make one in GIMP or similar and load it as an image, possibly using DSK plugin.

[mortal sigil]

It makes sense to toggle it on and off but if I had that I would probably forget to turn it off before recording lol

[quiet bramble]

Assuming the grid is used for layout only, and not used while recording/streaming, just for setup, it would likely be possible to have a hotkey to toggle it on, and then have it auto-turn off after N seconds using Advanced Scene Switcher also, or something like that

[mortal sigil]

Thats a good idea actually

[mortal harbor]

ah you meant a grid within OBS sorry, because you said you wanted something that wasn't captured while recording I did not think that.

[mortal sigil]

I actually am probably gonna just use your suggestion

[safe salmon]

Hello there! Anyone know of a plugin that works with latest OBS that integrates a Launchpad Mini like an budget StreamDeck?

Hi, do I remove a plugin on obs? I used to remember how to do it but now I don't.

[hallow vale]

!plugins Guide below

[oblique yew]

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

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

[vapid knot]

Ok thank you I'll take a look

[lavish oasis]

@weak escarp will Source Profiler be part of OBS or be made into a plugin for easier installation?

[mortal harbor]

there are plans for a first-party implementation with no ETA

[north trout]

Somebody has an input overlay for the keypad?

Please

@here

[vale vine]

You can probably make one

I think input overlay page has directions

[north trout]

I need a key pad one

But there is only with wasd

Wait

I think i know how

[golden iron]

I cannot remember if it was a plugin, previously in obs, or never been a feature but i think its appropriate to ask here.

did obs used to have a feature that would allow you to show a source while streaming but it would not show up in recording if you were doing both at the same time?

[fossil wyvern]

vanilla obs no
source record or vertical canvas would allow that though

[golden iron]

so its not possible to do anymore?

[hard jay]

It was never possible in OBS without plugins.

[golden iron]

i see

what plugin would i need to do this?

[hard jay]

Look up like 2 messages :)

[fossil wyvern]

just gave you the name of two that can do it

[golden iron]

thank you both

[north trout]

Somebody has an input overlay for the keypad?
Please

[hard jay]

Have you looked at all the shipped overlays? I'm pretty sure one of them had a keypad variant.

[north trout]

They doesn´t

Wait

You are saying what version

I am saying 5.0 version

[hard jay]

https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/tree/master/presets there's a bunch of ones in here, including a "WASD Numpad"

[north trout]

Ty

[hard jay]

you could just edit that one easy enough if you don't want WASD, or just crop it out.

[north trout]

With what website

?

[hard jay]

you don't need a website?

just edit the image, or crop it in OBS itself.

!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.

[north trout]

Ok thanks

[north trout]

Somebody knows where i can customize my input overlay?

A website

@hard jay

[hard jay]

That's not how it works.

I recommend reading the documentation and learning how to make custom overlays.

https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/wiki/Creating-presets

Once you have your custom image, you can create the overlay template from here: https://univrsal.github.io/input-overlay/cct/

[north trout]

I am telling my preset

[fickle mirage]

ok, i think i have written a shader that does what i want 🫠 it appears to work but i'm not convinced of the maths

also it might be inefficient, depending on how the compiler optimises it, as i don't know how to write shaders 🙃

{
    float4 pix = image.Sample(textureSampler, v_in.uv);
    if (pix.a > 0)
        return pix;
    float2 uv = v_in.uv;

    float mulx, muly = 1;
    [loop] for (float i = 0; i < 0.5; i += uv_pixel_interval.x) {
        float4 t = image.Sample(textureSampler, float2(i, 0.5));
        if (t.a > 0) {
            mulx = 1 - (i * 2);
            break;
        }
    }
    // Early exit for fully transparent source
    if (mulx <= 0 || mulx >= 1)
        return pix;
    [loop] for (float j = 0; j < 0.5; j += uv_pixel_interval.y) {
        float4 t = image.Sample(textureSampler, float2(0.5, j));
        if (t.a > 0) {
            muly = 1 - (j * 2);
            break;
        }
    }
    uv.x = (v_in.uv.x - 0.5) * min(mulx, muly) +  0.5;
    uv.y = (v_in.uv.y - 0.5) * min(mulx, muly) +  0.5;
    return image.Sample(textureSampler, uv);
}```

based on the example zoom shader, the idea is this will scale up the source to cover any alpha==0 pixels around the edges

[gleaming prism]

Hello, my name is Pablo, I am a developer, and yesterday I updated the post for my commercial tool in the OBS forum under Resources Tools. The tool is called YourDirectorAI, a scene switcher based on AI tracking.

The post changed to the status "Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly." I understand that moderators are busy, but if any moderator sees this, I would greatly appreciate it if they could review it.

How long does the review process typically take when an update is submitted? The version listed is 1.2, and I can’t find where to change it to 1.3. Is that something the moderator does?

Here’s the link in case any moderator can take a look:
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/yourdirectorai-obs-ai-camera-switcher.1631/

Thank you very much in advance!

[hard jay]

I am the only one doing resource reviews, so the answer is anywhere from a day to a few weeks depending on when I can get to it.

[fervent marsh]

Is it actually the case that if someone updates a resource, the resource becomes completely unavailable, in any version, until it's re-approved?

[hard jay]

Sometimes, yes. It's not exactly clear what triggers a review on an update. Most of the time an update can be published without requiring review.

Something something spam heuristics.

[fervent marsh]

It seems odd that even something that triggered those heuristics would make existing versions unavailable. That's kinda punishing... "in exchange for updating your thing, the previously approved versions of your thing are now completely unavailable".

[hard jay]

I don't disagree, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Xenforo doesn't have any options for granularity.

[gleaming prism]

Oki doki, thanks for the info, Fenrir and for the aproval.

[fervent marsh]

@gleaming prism Where can I get the source code to this plugin?

[gleaming prism]

Is commercial tool.

[fervent marsh]

Aren't OBS plugins required to be GPL?

[gleaming prism]

Not is a plugin is a stand alone external app.

In simple words, not is a derivative app.

[vale vine]

I would say based on this page, they do not have to be gpl compliant to be on the resources
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/forum-resource-and-ip-policy.178569/

[fervent marsh]

ah, it wasn't clear at a glance that it wasn't a plugin. Got it.

[vale vine]

It does look fairly nifty though

[fervent marsh]

No, but they have to be gpl compliant to be a plugin. (which turns out it isn't)

[vale vine]

Aye

[fervent marsh]

Kinda too bad. I wanted to see how it worked.

[vale vine]

It's only $10 😉

[gleaming prism]

Fo sure, lol

[fervent marsh]

Does $10 get me source code? Because if not, I still can't see how it works.

[gleaming prism]

No my friend, is a comercial app.

[fervent marsh]

Yes, I got that.

[vale vine]

Oooooo

[fervent marsh]

I was responding to @vale vine's comment.

[vale vine]

You wanna know what's under the hood

I get it now

[fervent marsh]

Yah. To a better level of detail than "it's AI!"

[gleaming prism]

Under the hood, is a AI model for track and determine where you are lloking and the use that info for switch scenes, or whatever you want to do with that action.
There is a upcoming version with multipperson interactions etc etc,

but basically is that

[fervent marsh]

What model is it using?

[fossil wyvern]

technically can be commecial and open source

[gleaming prism]

Is more complex of that the IA part due this app have 4 models for diffrent stuff.

Yes penwywern, you are right, this not is the case.

[fervent marsh]

Ah, I guess it's using stuff from Visage (plus bome midi stuff and NDI)

[gleaming prism]

Plus 2 models more.

etc etc

But bsically you can use NDI, or your camera source directly, also provide a virtual cam if you want to connect your capture device to the software, and then output to another software. Not all video software support NDI in the way OBS do.

OBS is a incredible tool, ultra versatile...you know

For control OBS, MIDI not needed, WebSockets do better job.

For sure, I plan add WebSockets support soon to my other projects', take a look on https://savethehuman5.com/

[fervent marsh]

It would be nice if the installer would give the option of which of those components should be installed (or not)

[gleaming prism]

All components are needed for that reason installer works in this way. Maybe a lits of features works better, so if you no plan use MIDI, then nothing related to MIDI will be installed, same for NDI etc.

[gleaming prism]

You are coder? there is some tool you code for OBS?

I have to go now! nice to meet you deadvix

[fervent marsh]

I've done a number of obs-related toys, yeah, and dabble in various related things.

[devout jay]

Is there a tool I can use to detect when I get a kill in a game to enable an action in obs? I've spent the last two days trying to figure out this one popular plugin for OBS called advanced scene switching but all the indicators of getting a Kill in game aren't outstanding enough for it to detect consistently. Is there maybe a way I can do this with overwolf?

[untold jay]

@devout jay If you were using a capture card, adv-ss would have worked, but since your only source of video is your own Twitch broadcast, video quality is too poor for that to work reliably.

[devout jay]

I've been using a capture card with 1080p since yesterday

[untold jay]

@devout jay In that case, adv-ss should be adequate, use the Video condition to detect text.

[devout jay]

Do any of the text options allow me to pick out any letter or word even if it's a part of a larger word or line? Because I'm not sure what most of them mean

I asked this because the detection isn't precise enough to perfectly read what I want it to read even when I set it in game to be a very peculiar color compared to the environment. And yes I've messed around with the threshold a lot

[mortal harbor]

Take a screenshot of what the game looks like when you get a kill and send it here

[devout jay]

kill logs on the right and points in the middle

I took notice that it does log what method you use, melee, specific gun, pickups, I thought, okay I can just make commands named after all of those. But there's a big problem with that. Since my PC is remote the way it works is obs doesn't recognize the USB video source, so every time I boot up my PC and OBS I have to delete the source in the main menu, as well as update it in advanced SS. And I don't think having to update 15 or so different sources every time I start a stream is going to work for me, especially considering I have plenty to set up to begin with

And even then the plug-in only slightly reads that text better than the kill log text

[clever palm]

Do you guys know a plugin or tool that can track Subscribers and follower alerts along with donations?

[devout jay]

I've noticed that despite the blotchiness of the detection, it does seem to get these two letters of my username in the kill logs right every single time. Which is why I asked which setting detects letters regardless of if it's part of a whole word or line

[obsidian agate]

You would usually go through a service like StreamElements or StreamLabs for those. Twitch also has their own alert overlays and activity feed that can be accessed via their Dashboard

That being said, you do not need to use stream elements or stream labs “plug-in“. You can just get the alerts through their site without those.

[heady coyote]

@regal breach Did you find any script that performs this function? It's just what I'm looking for

[pure swallow]

Would there be one for Twitch warnings in this style?

[bright sapphire]

"Twitch warnings" - as in alerts?

[pure swallow]

yeap

[bright sapphire]

I'm not sure if that would do alerts or not as I don't personally use it. I believe there is a FAQ from the github

[pure swallow]

I want to do live but I only have one screen

[bright sapphire]

Understandable. A second "lower end" monitor can be had for under $100 USD. There may be other options which I'm not aware of for doing what you are seeking.

[pure swallow]

I'm Brazilian, the economy is very difficult here

[bright sapphire]

Gotcha. Someone else may have another plugin alternative.

Hi, Advanced scene switcher isn't working in portable mode after the OBS 31 update. Anyone else facing this?

It is actually working fine in non-portable version of OBS, which is updated to 31 as well, but giving issue in portable version.

Here's the log from non-portable version where its working fine.

[fossil wyvern]

just realised that I can't load any plugin at all in 31 in portable mode but that's likely just the new linux protable mode

[atomic fog]

Holy! Is it supposed to be like that or will we get a fix for this sooner or later?

[obsidian agate]

you look to be running the Windows version of OBS, and not Linux, so I dont think that applies to you in this case

Yeah I'm on windows, correct, but what would be the best bet of time? Revert the portable back to 30.0.2?

You can use powerful macros in OBS Studio using timers, cursor detection, window detection, and more to automate switching between scenes, toggle sources, and many other options.

To get started, install the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin and see the GitHub project wiki to learn how to use it.

[west jungle]

How would it detect the name of the players?

[fossil wyvern]

with text detection

[west jungle]

advs-ss has that feature?

[fossil wyvern]

yup

[west jungle]

hmm I see, let me try

Thanks for this @fossil wyvern

[fossil wyvern]

👍

[west jungle]

can you teach me how to do this?

[fossil wyvern]

it's in the video condition

[west jungle]

is it on the If condition?

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[west jungle]

I don't see related to video condition

[fossil wyvern]

the one that says "video"

[tough minnow]

hi

[west jungle]

so in the text field, I'll be doing this for 10 times

correct?

If and or condition?

[fossil wyvern]

well depends what you want it to do

[west jungle]

got it

I'll take it from here

you the best I've been looking for this for a long time

tysm!

[wooden fulcrum]

Is this where I can find obs-vk-capture and lib32-obs-vkcapture?

[wooden fulcrum]

How do I decide which branch of the freedesktop runtime do I need to install? There are 4 to choose from.

[brittle oracle]

Would someone care to help me setup obs-plugin-templatemaster I've been trying for a flipping month

[hard jay]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[brittle oracle]

I'm going to try and make a highly customizable scoreboard plugin for broadcasting sports

[hard jay]

Have you looked at any of the existing 832,745 scoreboard resources that are out there already?

[brittle oracle]

No, I did not think about doing that

[hard jay]

There are multitude of them in the Resources section on our forums.

[brittle oracle]

I will take a look thank you

[vale hemlock]

Hey guys, a couple of days ago I asked about a scorebug, that i wanted to make my own. I managed to get an example of a similar one to get an example. I wanted to make a scorebug that responds to an outside controller like overlays.uno. Is it possible?

Here's the website's controller

Here's how it controls the scorebug:

I think i'm in the wrong tab lol, let me know if it is please.

[digital fox]

Hey so I just downloaded I plugin for OBS how can I make it show up?

can anyone help me make it show up?

[hard jay]

What plugin? Did you check the readme for the instructions?

[digital fox]

I'm watching a youtube video it's called the move plugin

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move.913/

[hard jay]

That plugin has an installer, just run that.

[digital fox]

Ok so, I did, but I have 2 OBS studios on my pc

It went to the one I didn't want it to go to

[hard jay]

Then you will likely need to follow the manual installation instructions on the resource page.

[digital fox]

Ok

I don't really understand the manual installation for windows, can you walk me through it?

I've downloaded the zip file for it.

[hard jay]

Which part is hard to understand? I can try to explain.

[digital fox]

it says unzip which means click on the download right?

[digital fox]

that's right yes?

[hard jay]

No, downloading and unzipped are two operations.

[digital fox]

no

[hard jay]

You download the file first, then you have to open it and copy the files to your second installation of OBS

[digital fox]

Yes I opened it

what do you mean copy the files

[hard jay]

just think of a zip file like a folder

you have to open the zip file, and copy the contents to your second OBS location.

[digital fox]

I understand, it's just where do I go to paste it?

[hard jay]

I can't answer that, you have two installs of OBS, I don't know where the one you want to install to is.

Is there a specific reason you have two?

[digital fox]

Yes

[hard jay]

I would strongly recommend not having multiple copies of OBS unless you understand the exact reason why you need two, and you have a better understanding of the implications.

[digital fox]

I setup one for shorts recroding and shorts streaming, and I setup one for regular streaming and regular recroding for horizontal videos.

That's the reason why I have two.

[hard jay]

You don't need two installations of OBS for that. You can just use profiles/scene collections.

[digital fox]

No I know, you can change the size.

[hard jay]

But either way, I don't know where you installed the second copy to, you will have to look for that and then copy the files manually.

[digital fox]

It's just by making a second one it's all setup rather then having to constantly change it, or just download a bunch of plugins.

[hard jay]

Personally, I feel like that's making your life harder, but if it works for you!

[digital fox]

Ok but just pretend you are manually installing the plugin, how do you do it?

[hard jay]

You open the zip file, and copy the contents to the second installation.

That's it.

[digital fox]

my question is do I drag and drop it into obs?

[hard jay]

yes, that is one way to copy files

[digital fox]

so I just grab the download and drag it into obs from my downloads?

[hard jay]

You need to open the zip file, and copy the contents inside it.

But yes, essentially.

[digital fox]

I copyed two things: data and obs-plugins

inside the zip file

[hard jay]

that sounds correct, yes, they should go in the root folder of your second OBS which should have the same folder names there already

it might ask you to merge, just say yes

and then you should be done

[wooden fulcrum]

My next question -- is there a plugin to fill in the title and description and stuff before pushing the "start streaming" button on OBS, when you have a static stream key for Rumble?

[hard jay]

For what streaming service?

Pass.

[thick tendon]

good day, does streamlabs plugin still work on obs?

[silent pine]

Anyone got an updated VR module? that works on Linux

[heady plinth]

oh no... Advanced Scene Switcher poofed after the update?

[obsidian agate]

you need to update it

latest version is 1.28.1, and was released 5 days ago on November 2nd

[severe gazelle]

Is there a plugin for virtual cam that works with latest OBS? I just got an update and my virtual cam plugin that gave me 4 virtual cams (I need 2)) my crashes OBS when I close it now

[quiet bramble]

Exeldro had a virtual cam plugin fork that worked in newer releases last I remember. Haven't used it in eons though as OBS has a built in virtual camera now, and there are other plugins that handle most of the other use cases people had previously for using multiple virtual cameras. What are you needing multiple virtual cameras for? There may be a superior solution now.

One use case for virtual cameras used to be to create video feedback effects. That can now be done with Exeldro's Recursion filter instead, and better for example.

[severe gazelle]

so I stream in my discord, but i also sometimes use the colab cam on twitch

[quiet bramble]

The NDI/DistroAV plugin, teleport, and spout plugins can replace other use cases for virtual cameras as wel.

Did a quick check and comments suggest Exeldro's VirtualCam no longer works. So you'd have to use DistroAV or some other solution if you need that.

Absolute worst case, would be running 2 copies of OBS simultaneously in portable mode, and passing video between them using Spout, and using the virtual camera of each OBS to get 2 virtual cameras, but this would be a "NO I REALLY NEED IT" sledgehammer hack if all other options are insufficient for some reason.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe Discord is compatible with NDI.

[fossil wyvern]

https://github.com/Avasam/obs-virtual-cam
afaik this one's still works

[quiet bramble]

ah, nice! Updated my bookmarks

[fossil wyvern]

(haven't tested personally, just an afaik)

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, no prob... All the other plugins replaced my own needs for virtualcam, but there might still be some corner case use cases out theree so it's good to know there may be one that sitll works if/when someone has a genuine need not served by other solutions nowadays. 🙂

Recursion filter and NDI replaced all my needs, along with the built in.

and spout

IMHO, spout is the best way to pass video between apps if they support it. It's the lowest latency and least overhead of any of the solutions.

[severe gazelle]

Thank You Kindly

[quiet bramble]

And between machines on a LAN, I'm not sure.. I use NDI for that but haven't tried teleport. My gut instinct tells me NDI is probably better but I haven't tested. 🙂

One super obscure corner case, is passing OBS source/scene output out to a web browser to pass it through a shader on the Shadertoy website and capturing the results back. Super high overhead hack but it works, but needs virtual cameras to pull off, one per shader. This may violate the Geneva convention however. LOL

[blissful coral]

hey i have download input overlay for the n64 controller but there is no preset for this anybody have one ? (sorry for my bad english)

[thin rose]

Hello,

I am trying to create an app that monitors the audio activity of apps that the user would select, and I was wondering if anyone has advice on where to search for the part of the code that makes audio capturing possible for OBS.
(the goal of the app is to give spacial information to deaf people and give them a better immersion in, for instance, games.)

Thanks a lot in advance to whoever answers !

(If it's not the right channel for this, please tell me where to put it, I'll move it right away.)

[fossil wyvern]

by "monitoring" you mean capturing the app's audio?

[quiet bramble]

I think you might want to ask that in #development as it seems more oriented towards a developmental question about OBS's internals.

[floral ferry]

anybody know why streamlabs plugin dont do is work correctly on my obs?

[vale vine]

Ask streamlabs

!sld

[oblique yew]

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

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

[thin rose]

I meant receiving data in real time to transmit it after conversion, like I'll have 4-8 rotors that will generate small vibrations on the person to designate where the sound is coming from. Like you're playing an first person shooter and you get the direction of the enemy in real time with something other than sound

[thin rose]

Thanks, will do so !

[fossil wyvern]

right, so as I said, what you're actually interested in obs is the way it captures audio?

becuase, in obs, monitoring means something completely different

[thin rose]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

and you're interested in app-specific capture, not just all of the computer audio?

[thin rose]

oh my bad, I'll change it then

[thin rose]

that would be better, but all of the computer audio would be enough for the prototype

[fossil wyvern]

so, basically, on windows, obs is using wasapi.
You can find most of the obs code for it in there, but what you actually probably want to be looking at is not the obs code, but the wasapi documentation

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/wasapi

[thin rose]

Copy that, thanks !

It looks like it's what I was searching for, I'll dig a bit more into it.

[olive mesa]

im trying to find out how to get the dock added back so i can see how many viewers and followers and if im online or offline

[hallow vale]

Disconnect and reconnect your account in Settings > Stream.

[olive mesa]

okay i did that and what do i do from there

[hallow vale]

Look in the Docks menu at the top of OBS for Twitch Stats

[olive mesa]

awsome thank you , for some reason the new update would bug out my streaming and would delay everything

[lone tide]

is there a plugin for ob studio to make an image to react like a filter

[fossil wyvern]

you mean for pngtubing?

[lone tide]

no i meaning as in like where i can put a christmas hat on and it will move when i do

[fossil wyvern]

put a christmas hat on what?

[lone tide]

i was wondering if there is a plug in for obs studio where i can put an hat on my head and it moves when i move

so a plug in for obs studio to make an image to react like a filter

[fossil wyvern]

your head, from what, a camera feed?

[lone tide]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

do you have a nvidia GPU?

[lone tide]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

move plugin has a face detection thingie with nvidia gpus
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move.913/

[quiet bramble]

Snapchat had a program that could do that kind of thing, which could be interfaced with OBS but it wasn't an OBS plugin. Not sure if they still have it or not, haven't heard anyone mention it in eons.

[errant jasper]

@regal breach Hi, I've been having an issue with Media Playlist Source on macOS (Sonoma 14.7). I’m using the 30.1.2 custom build of OBS (30.2.2 didn’t seem to have an Apple Silicon version) and the most recent version of Media Playlist Source, no other plugins installed.

Basically, videos encoded with x265 all look very dark and oversaturated. (I can provide screenshots if needed; the issue is very obvious) They don’t look like this on any other media player I’ve tried, including VLC Video Source within OBS. This has included both files I’ve encoded myself in DaVinci Resolve / HandBrake and ones obtained elsewhere (caveat: when I’ve encoded as H.265 with VideoToolbox the issue doesn’t occur). The issue also occurred on my partner’s Mac. I haven’t been able to test this on a Windows machine yet.

Thanks for any help you’re able to provide!

[eager herald]

@weak escarp I been using markdown version 0.2.2 maybe not its intended way. I was putting HTML in the markdown section and using the CSS section to style it. In later versions, this appears to no longer work. Im working on a mac 2018 intel OS 13.1, but to be fair, I dont think I can get the later versions to work at all on my machine. Everytime I test I have to go back to 0.2.2

No

Still doesn't show

With window capture yes bt not game capture.

It mirrors with window capture

It was working earlier and just stopped working

[hallow vale]

Yeah, game capture is unreliable with that program bc it's not an actual game. By "mirrors" do you mean it's flipped backwards?

[mortal harbor]

No it has mollie screens of the same capture

For instance if I click obs and have my gane running it shows everything on that window + xbox app.

Then hit OK and screenshot the whole OBS window if it's still not working

[mortal harbor]

Display capture works bt I don't like it bcuz you can see everything else on my pc

I do not know how to adjust so that it just captures me xbox, it was working this morning 😪

[hallow vale]

Please just try what I suggested and nothing more.

[mortal harbor]

Oki it shows

Thank you so much, I had to refresh obs and it was able to add the window capture option.

Check your windows firewall settings on both machines. For the part about "allow apps through firewall" make sure OBS is allowed through on both. If you have to change the setting, restart both OBSs after

[next dome]

is there a reason why our cpu usage would go from 0.3 0.8 to 4.8 after the update?

[mortal harbor]

Still not working

Do I need to enable Teleport on both? When I enable it on my streaming pc it just reads my streaming pc and doesn't show my gaming pc as an option on the list.

[hallow vale]

On the streaming PC, are there any options available to choose in the teleport source dropdown? You pushed the refresh button in your video, but didn't expand the list

[mortal harbor]

Yes itshows 3 different options for streaming pc only

Tried all 3 streaming pc that show on the list bt it's just duplicating my streaming pc.

And if I uncheck Teleport to disable it doesn't show any options on the list

[hallow vale]

That's weird, there shouldn't be any teleport sources from the streaming PC to show. Show me the Teleport settings from Tools menu in the Streaming PC

[mortal harbor]

And when I uncheck Teleport Enabled, it doesn't show anything on the list.

[hallow vale]

This is on the streaming PC?

[mortal harbor]

Yes

[hallow vale]

This window is settings for Teleport Output. Disable this.

One last question abt teleport, how come audio can't be heard in streaming pc?

[hallow vale]

In the Gaming PC OBS, open the Advanced Audio Properties window (Find it in the Edit menu)

Set Desktop Audio to "monitor off" and see if that works

[mortal harbor]

Ok and for streaming pc what should the audio monitoring be?

I currently have it on Monitor and Output

Gaming PC desktop audio set to monitor off bt I still don't hear in streaming pc

I can see the audio bar moving bt no sound

[hollow portal]

stupid question but have you got your monitoring device pointed to the right headphones/speakers?

[mortal harbor]

Yessir

[hallow vale]

Monitor off, likely.

[hallow vale]

You should be listening to the gaming PC primarily, as there will be delay. Does the streaming PC get the audio in a recording if you test?

[mortal harbor]

Yes you can hear recording

[hallow vale]

Cool. Teleport is send the audio properly. You can set the source to "monitor and output" on the streaming PC to allow yourself to hear it.

[mortal harbor]

Ok so keep gaming pc audio on monitor off

And streaming pc set to monitor and output correct?

[hallow vale]

Yes

Hi Mr. yolo. I was getting into my wheelchair so it took some time to get to my office

It looks like the filter was working if you used it on the scene and not the source, as they tell you in the video and on the forum, but after the update i noticed that the source visibility was automatic and no longer in the filters, so that made me check everything I used as a filter and everything is fine except the stream deck portion for move source.

Manually I tested in the filter menu and each filter for the move source I created works when clicking the eye. But the stream deck shows this. So now it can't find the filter

2. Is the cover being resized? I'm sending a URL with a 640x640 cover art, but tuna writes a 150x150 file? Is there a way to disable that?

[coarse gazelle]

Does anyone know if you could set up something to change or morph a webcam overlay. Like maybe from a square to a star

Hello all! I have a question: Are there any plug-ins that anyone knows of that can receive OES Scoreboard Data from the OES ISC9000? I'm trying to move away from the OES bolt, which is really underpowered, but in order to do that, I need that OES Data.

[vapid charm]

Given that's intended for "professional" use you'd need some highly customized stuff for that along with a supported way to get the data from the controller to a computer.

OOB definitely not something you'd find I think though I could be wrong.

[coarse gazelle]

[tidal geyser]

Good morning everyone, I need help installing the plugin I use to play the guitar on obs studio....the plugin is called APFX PRIMO. Thank you

Excuse me....I use windows 10

[quiet bramble]

OBS plugin, or a VST plugin?

[tidal geyser]

vst plugin

[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.

[violet kayak]

OK I have no clue what happened because I haven't touched it since then, but progress works now and the cover is the proper size... but in exchange the artist was broken (because I was sending it wrong). But yeah.. works now lol

[tardy oriole]

Is there a way to have a small thing on my main monitor that shows if OBS is recording or paused?

[untold jay]

@tardy oriole The smallest things I can think of are the Stats window (View > Stats), and opening http://obs-web.niek.tv/ in a web browser on a smartphone.

[tardy oriole]

Thank you!

[tardy oriole]

Where do i get the link for the browser?

[untold jay]

@tardy oriole You can use any web browser, like Firefox for Android.Or are you asking where to get your IP?

[tardy oriole]

the thing you put into the website

oh wait is this just for streaming?

[untold jay]

Run cmd and run ipconfig, it'll show your internal IP, type that on the webpage, like so:
ws://192.168.0.106:4455
Type your password if you had one set, otherwise leave empty.

[tardy oriole]

ty

[untold jay]

You should see a low frame rate preview as well as some controls and status.

[tardy oriole]

it says this where do i get from the 4455?

[untold jay]

@tardy oriole Some web browsers automatically go to https if they can, manually remove the "s" in "https:\\" from the URL.

[untold jay]

What web browser is this?

[tardy oriole]

opera gx

should i try google?

[untold jay]

Try prepending http:// .

[tardy oriole]

i think its working but how do i get the password?

[untold jay]

@tardy oriole Go to Tools > Websocket server settings, and set one. Since this stays in your LAN, it's usually safe not to set one, unless you have untrustworthy devices in your wifi network.

[tardy oriole]

it's working!

[granite carbon]

hey there, since this relates to a plugin ill ask here.
I periodically scan my whole system with win defender and malwarebytes.
win defender did find the following obs plugin "obs-browser" and flagged it. also flagged it as "very dangerous"
It was detected as Trojan:Win32/Malgent
I was under the impression that obs-browser is a default library for obs.
If anybody knows more about this, which i assume to be a false positive, please fill me in.

Edit: malwarebytes did not say anything, tho i scanned with it after quarantining the first detection by windef. Running windef again redetected it tho.

[vale vine]

Malwarebytes has more false positives than most a/v software

Oh defender flagged it?

Odd

[mortal harbor]

someone else mentioned a couple days ago, checking with virustotal though made it clear it was a false positive.

[granite carbon]

yea, mwbytes seems to be very cautious, didnt strike me as annoying tho. It just does its job. Most ppl dont even know what half the evil stuff is so i guess they are doing it right when targeting the wider mass of users

[granite carbon]

alr. ty. how do i "verify" as false positive with virus total?

[mortal harbor]

generally when you upload something there and nearly all detection methods show it is fine, you can assume it is fine.

[granite carbon]

oh, i wouldve thought it might be a newer thing not everyone can detect yet ^^

[fossil wyvern]

@hard jay

[hard jay]

Definitely a false posistive, and we don't have control over what browser pages put things in there. Probably some new bad signature going around that's falsely flagging things.

What browser sources do you use, if any?

[granite carbon]

isaiah creati's bot
alerts for twitch official
youtube official
streamelements

and an overlay from streamelements which i have not changed in years

[obsidian agate]

do you have a specific question?

[mortal harbor]

.....they are answering a question.

[vale vine]

BAD ROB!

[obsidian agate]

SORRY, ill go sit in the corner

[granite carbon]

ill remove one by one and come back to you.
it does reappear with every restart of obs

[hard jay]

I suspect SE might be the culprit here

But yes, appreciate the testing to see which one, should be quite useful to know

[granite carbon]

so it appears it is neither of them

even without having any browser sources i get the issue

ill check other profiles tho

yea, nothing. It must be something directly related to the obs-browser plugin

[hard jay]

Are you using any of the built-in integrations? I.e. connecting to Twitch/YouTube?

I'm also not sure if the cache would get cleared unless you specifically clear it. Restarting won't clear the cache, but it could trigger a scan on load or something.

If you're up for it, I think a good test would be to create a new profile that is not connected to any service, a new scene collection with no sources, then close OBS, manually clear the browser cache, and add stuff back one by one until something triggers.

!browsercache

[oblique yew]

The OBS Browser cache can be found in the following locations:

• Windows: %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config\obs-browser
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugin_config/obs-browser
• Linux: ~/.config/obs-studio/plugin_config/obs-browser

[granite carbon]

not right now, but ill try later. making food

seems like it is actually tied to the twitch login in obs

[hard jay]

Very strange that it's only flagging for a handful of people.

But much appreciated for the testing! We'll keep monitoring and see if there's anything we can do.

[hard jay]

Just to confirm, the test you did was to create a new profile, new scene collection, close OBS, cleared the cache, and then when you relaunched OBS and logged in you got the alert?

[granite carbon]

yes, i opened obs, scanned the obs folder like befoere, got no flags.
then i re-logged into my twitch within obs since the cookies were all deleted by me beforehand.
once i restarted with that and no other browsersource, it reappeared

[hard jay]

Not the cookies, the whole cache

[vapid knot]

i realy wanna delete some plugs in on obs but everytime i go manually delete them my obs gets messed up somehow and have to reinstall obs, how do i remove plugins?

[oblique yew]

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

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

Thank you! I found plenty reports on that windows defender report. People receive it even on fresh installed PCs when visiting twitch, but only after a *full * windows defender scan. For me, it is also in conjunction with starting OBS. Have not found anything official on that windows defender report yet, though.

[minor lagoon]

Today was the first day in 3 days I have not found the said trojan with a full scan after having opened OBS. Today I also updated windows defender to 1.421.815.0

[stark narwhal]

Yeah I reported it as a possible false positive.

Looks like they acted on the report.

[minor lagoon]

nevermind, potential threat was found once more 🫠

[stark narwhal]

Hmm

Same thread?

[minor lagoon]

what do you mean?

[stark narwhal]

Is windows defender showing the same detected thing?

Or did the name of the detection change

[minor lagoon]

f_0016f4 instead f_0016ec instead of f_0016e4

the names change since i quarantine or delete the old "threat"

I guess it is just the same new cache file with a different name, no?

[stark narwhal]

What I specifically meant was the name of what kind of malware it is

Like Trojan:Win32/Malgent

[minor lagoon]

yes that one

Hey, i have a question but not about a problem I want to ask if someone can tell me how to do this in the Video in OBS because its Obviously a Minecraft plugin but maybe there is a way to do it in OBS ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d99PWwmYW7Y ) I mean that you can get shown random pictures from a folder and then type an answer and in maybe 10 min. the same.

[late trench]

I want to do source clone but audio only !

[hallow vale]

Totally doable. Can clone audio sources, or clone a video source that has audio and hide the video under other sources

[late trench]

I couldn't find option for audio only

[hallow vale]

Is the original source an audio source, looks like it?

[late trench]

the original source video/audio

[late trench]

sorry meant this

both same LOL

anyways yeah

[hallow vale]

To be clear, you only want a close of the original source's audio?

I think that is not possible.

[late trench]

clone for the audio of the original source

in this case I must add another filter for opacity to make it 0

[hallow vale]

That is one option, yes. The other is to just put it under other sources so it does not show

[late trench]

I'll do it with effect to make sure its not

[hallow vale]

I would go for that, as filters add a bit more load

[late trench]

how about this why we can't have audio effects for the scene ?

[late trench]

got your POV ur right also

[hallow vale]

Since a scene is not specifically an audio source, you can only use effect filters, yeah

[late trench]

so if all sources are audio then I can

[hallow vale]

Mayyyybe. Let me test

[hallow vale]

Nope, still doesn't work.

[late trench]

I see

thanks

I thought this will help me adding one filter instead of tons

[hallow vale]

As far as I know, though, you can create multiple sources using the same audio device or application audio capturing the same program.

[late trench]

oh yeah but I have the opposite

[rocky solar]

Honestly i do not know.

[fervent marsh]

If y'all do business with the company, you should ask! Ain't nobody going to be able to make that kind of integration without it.

[rocky solar]

I have ask, but their customer service sucks. But ill send a quick email thank you!

[fervent marsh]

Depending on the protocol, it might be pretty easy to build an integration.

Hello!!!!! I need help with a Spanish project called "Fish In Space". Imagine a livestream where viewers interact by giving missions to explore a planet and create things. For example: the more donations or comments, the more the oxygen base progresses, etc. Can you help me?

[vagrant olive]

[vapid knot]

this wasn't helpful unfortunately

[spiral ruin]

This link in the middle wasn't helpful?
There are only two ways to install plugins, as well as corresponding ways to uninstall them. Either with the installer/uninstaller, or the manual copy/paste/deleting of the plugin from the OBS folder. It all depends on how you installed the plugin in the first place.

[vapid knot]

the link in the middle was the first thing i clicked on. Everytime i manually delete them from the plugin folder obs studio doesn't open and i would have to reinstall obs

[vagrant minnow]

What plug-in are you manually removing?

[vapid knot]

RTMP multi stream plugin

i use aitum multistream plugin so the other one is no longer needed

[vagrant minnow]

Definitely deleting the right file?

[vapid knot]

yup. i have deleted plugins before and never had issues it wasn't until some months ago i did the same thing and had the same thing happened.

[fossil wyvern]

@fossil wyvern and what I want to do is something complicated

[fossil wyvern]

ok, start with the basics, and when you have something specific you don't know how to do, ask

[limber jasper]

@regal breach hope you are okay with the ping. We think we've got a bug to report in the Media Playlist Source plugin. If a delay setting in OBS advanced audio properties doesn't seem to affect the media playlist sources.

We're a vtuber, and need about a 200 ms delay to sync our audio to our model, and in turn, 200 ms delay to all other audio sources so we don't look like an idiot if we start grooving to the music. ❤️ 🫶 💗

Thanks for the wonderful plugin. Let us know if we should just need the custom version of OBS, but it didn't sounds like that would affect this specific issue.

[fossil wyvern]

audio delay works perfectly on my end. can you detail a bit more how exactly you set it up and how you are measuring it?

[fossil wyvern]

300 ms delay on the dot

[limber jasper]

Will do shortly

Actually, we see you are using an mp4. We are using mp3. And we think that's where the problem likely is. All the video is coming from other sources.

Will setup and show an example.

[fossil wyvern]

try with this see if the sync works correctly

[limber jasper]

We thought this wasn't happening with the normal Media Source plugin. But this happens with both.

[fossil wyvern]

does it also happen with the file I gave you or only with audio-only files

[limber jasper]

MP3 doesn't get the delay, MP4 does. Pretty sure "delay" is the delay between the video and audio of the source. And if there is no video, there is no delay.

[fossil wyvern]

nah

delay is added to the audio

[fossil wyvern]

but in the case of audio-only sources, it asks the question of : how are you measuring it?

[limber jasper]

Here is the setup. And MP3 version MP4 of the same file. Two Media Sources, one for each. Both set to a 2 seconds delay, so it's impossible to miss.

[fossil wyvern]

can you upload here the files you're using?

[limber jasper]

Thats the output

Re-encoding the MP4 sourceso it fits on discord

This music is under creative commons, so it should be fine to share here.

[fossil wyvern]

nah please send the non reencoded ones, just in case.

gimme 5 I'll see if I can repro

ok there's weird shit abound

[limber jasper]

nods nods

It's looking like "Use hardware decoding when available" works around this issue with Media Source

[fossil wyvern]

it's caused by smth in your file

likely the picture messing with smth

exact same setup, it works with my file, not yours

(mp3 in right ear, mp4 in left)

[limber jasper]

you extracted the audio from your file and compared it against the video version?

[fossil wyvern]

yup

you have the audio only source in the right ear, video +audio in the left

[limber jasper]

and that delay we hear is 300ms?

[fossil wyvern]

yup, you can see it on the video

[limber jasper]

Wait, with MP4 source, we're hearing the delay in our audio monitor. Is it supposed to do that?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah

[limber jasper]

is there any way to put in a delay, that's going to the output only, and let the monitor play before delay?

[fossil wyvern]

actually there's more weird stuff because whether delay appears on monitoring is unreliable on my end

[limber jasper]

it doesnt seem to appear on monitoring when switching scenes, but does on pressing the button to restart the media

and the Media Playlist Source, just doesn't present the delay at all(but does start a little later than Media Source)

[fossil wyvern]

oh dear lord I can already feel the pain of the devs

just to check, if you use this one as the mp3, it works, right?

[limber jasper]

no, it's the same thing, and it's in the monitor

[fossil wyvern]

ignore the monitor for the moment, actually record and listen to see if the delay is there

[limber jasper]

The visual meters on Audio Mixer are in perfect sync. But the MP4 track plays with the delay in our headset, while the MP3 starts playing immediately

[fossil wyvern]

mixer will always be in sync

[limber jasper]

feels like the monitor should be coming out of the mixer.. heh

[fossil wyvern]

as I said, for the moment, ignore the monitor

if you record a file with a delay on that mp3, is it actually delayed

on my end, it does

[limber jasper]

It's really weird. We start the two by doing a scene cut. On screen, we immediately see the scene cut, and hear the audio track from the MP3 start in the monitor. 2 seconds later the MP4 audio starts.

But in the recording, we hear both tracks start, very close to in sync, before the scene cut happens.

[fossil wyvern]

try with this setup check how it behaves

[limber jasper]

sorry about the mkv, btw. Forgot we had OBS recording set to Matroska

[fossil wyvern]

wait, huh, scenecuts fuck with it

[limber jasper]

same behavior, just indipendant ears

[fossil wyvern]

it's the scene transition that fucks with it

[limber jasper]

for testing, we're doing a straight cut, so there is no transition, but, yeah, when it comes to using OBS, the whole idea of using it's internal media is to let it control starting of all assets when the scenes cut

[fossil wyvern]

a cut is a transition

[limber jasper]

okay, yah, but we mean, we arent using a transition that has a time on it

[fossil wyvern]

if I close and reopen obs, the delay is correctly applied to it, until I transition

[limber jasper]

Yah.. think we just cant use OBS internal media controls for audio at all

not if we don't want to look like we have no sense of rhythm, at aleast

[fossil wyvern]

wait no it's not just that

[limber jasper]

Maybe we should stop poking the plugins channel, and ask in the audio channel. That might just be like.. lolno dont use the internal media stuff

[fossil wyvern]

it's 100% a bug here
