#

bro u seriously are a damn wizard what the hell :D

#

last question:
How to put an outline for the text, the way I did it creates a box around the text instead outline: #ffffff solid 3px;

dusky basin
#

oof, text outlines are kind of the achilles heel of css

tulip thistle
#

Understood avoiding that :D

dusky basin
#

-webkit-text-stroke: 3px green;

#

but the result isn't always pretty

#

especially at larger sizes

tulip thistle
#

Changed green to white and..

#

Darn near perfect with what I had

dusky basin
#

your text is white though?

tulip thistle
#

I used color correction effects filter

#

So it kinda fits together oddly

dusky basin
#

ok

tulip thistle
#

I mean hell it looks real good, just gonna check if long text breaks anything or not then will Streamer bot setup it to see if I can change that url bit
https://obs.shawn.party/render/text?text=Hello kitty&style=jump&debug=true
text?text=Hello kitty
with %targetUser% streamer bot

@tulip thistle Not the prettiest method of adding an outline to text, but I'll not complain.

# atomic pike nah, should it?

Don't assume, I asked a question, simply answer it.
You want to exit OBS before installing or uninstalling plugins.
Restart OBS anyway, see if it shows.

tulip thistle
#

End result

#

And then shadows via filters

atomic pike
untold jay
#

@tulip thistle The purpose of outlines is not to increase size, but to retain legibility with backgrounds of the same brightness or color.

#

Place an orange color source below, verify legibility hasn't suffered.

tulip thistle
#

All is same

#

I just realized that user defiled shader had nothing in it so removed. So it's shadow and color correction atm

installer

# atomic pike installer

Trying uninstalling it, reboot the pc. Then before opening OBS, install it again. Then open OBS.

atomic pike
#

still didnt work

spiral ruin
#

I'm not sure. I don't personally use that plugin, and I'm not at my pc to try using it and walk you through it. The website looks like it has a YT tutorial and a wiki link for deep instructions on using it and troubleshooting.
Or, wait for another input overlay user to reply here.

Run the installer again for input overlay(with obs closed) and when you get to the part where it asks you where to install, screenshot that

Hey guys! Been a while.
I remember someone sent me a cool version of OBS that had a tool that showed CPU/GPU usage of every single thing I had in my scenes.
Apparently this is in the latest OBS Beta, right?
Where is it, though? I can't find it...

fossil wyvern
true atlas
#

YES. That's it. Thank you

fervent marsh
#

I still want those stats to be accessible via websocket 😦

spiral ruin
#

that would be nice, via websocket

true atlas
#

That would... Allow you to read them from another app?

fossil wyvern
#

yee

true atlas
#

On a different machine even? Fuck yes.

fervent marsh
#

Yah. Same way I output normal stream stats to my metrics collector, I could also periodically output per-scene stats, and make pretty graphs out of them and compare them over time and such.

serene echo
#

Websocket all the things!

#

Though I guess it could be tricky, as there is overhead when profiling. So you'd only want to be collecting that data if that particular endpoint is requested (and you'd want to be careful with third party apps, to have them not constantly collecting the data)

fervent marsh
#

Or just be willing to pay the overhead. It's probably not a lot of overhead.

#

Linux keeps thousands of performance counters that you can't turn off and nobody complains about that... 😉

serene echo
#

My experience with the plugin is that it does have enough overhead that I've noticed dropped frames in some more complex scenes, where I didn't have dropped frames when the plugin is not profiling.

fervent marsh
#

That would legit surprise me. But I'm totally ok with being able to let the polling client to have the option to turn it on and off whenever, so the user gets the choice of when to profile.

I've been searching online on how to make a object continually spin I Have produce I want to just spin on screen. I can get rotation to work to 360 degree's but then on the move source (move transition plugin) back to 0 degree's rotation it just goes backwards. I've chained the two move transitions together but still can't get it to sping past 360 degrees. Does anyone have any insight would appreciate the help thank you!

untold jay
#

@gray wedge Use 3 filters, filter 1 does nothing, filter 2 rotates 180 degrees (use "relative transform), filter 3 also rotates 180 degrees. Use "next move" to make filter 2 trigger filter 3 and filters 1 and 3 to trigger filter 2.

gray wedge
#

Ahhhhhh thank you Chiyo, appreciate you taking the time to help me, have a good day.

#

testing it now

gray wedge
#

Chiyo, hopefully 1 last question. So I got it to now rotate, but the potato (lol...) bounces as in it gets bigger than smaller on screen as it rotates as if its "bouncing"

This is the relative transform I have on filters 2 and 3:

pos: x+0.0 y+0.0 rot:+180.0 scale: x1.000 y1.000 crop: l+0 t+0 r+0 b+0

#

I did "No Easing" on all 3 filters, kept the first filter to all defaults, only thing I did on filter 2 and 3 was to set time it takes to rotate so it doesn't just super spin.

#

I also put this source in a group for testing which got the rotation part to work, just have this bouncing issue now it seems

untold jay
#

@gray wedge Don't use groups, use a nested scene if necessary.

gray wedge
#

k ya it in final form will be nested, let me change that and see if that fixes it

untold jay
#

As for the other issue.. try adding a crop/pad filter above it and use negative values, see how the source changes as it spins.

#

I think padding from one side would reduce visible changes in size.

gray wedge
#

This is the potato so its not visually circular but ya will try your suggestion now after moving it out of group

image.png
untold jay
#

@gray wedge Try padding top and left by 30px. Or top and right.

gray wedge
#

dang it was the group!

#

thank you Chiyo you helped me greatly. it now correctly spins granda41LOL

Hi, I'm an app developer responsible for creating an iOS app called "Video Pencil" that works with OBS using NDI. I created a library to allow Mac developers to integrate Video Pencil into their software, and this would be a great way to integrate Video Pencil with OBS in a much better way than is currently possible.
Are there any Mac-based developers here who might be interested in taking a look at my ShootKit library with a view to creating an OBS plugin?

Quick question, how do I (I have a move text filter on a text source, which is dynamically updated) - how do I tell it to center text so that wherever I initially place the text source, it stays centered to that point? (meaning that when it's dynamically updated, etc, it's going to stay in place, centered to the object behind it)

untold jay
#

@sleek marsh You mean a fixed bounding box within which it's allowed to resize itself? Change bounding box type to "maximum size only".

# queen plank how can i remove yellow frame in my game?

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.

Evening all! Question! Is there a tool/ plugin to delay a scene in OBS? Basically a friend of mine streams their gameplay & is getting into competitive games, where they're asked to stream with a delay! These competitive games are sometimes half way through a broadcast. Now obviously, they can just end a broadcast & start with a delay added & once the game is complete, they can restart without the delay. I was just wondering if there was a way to delay a scene to combat the ending & restarting of the broadcasts! Cheers ❤️

quiet bramble
#

What would the stream be seeing when you switch it from "live" to delayed, with say a 15 minute delay? You'd have 15 minutes of dead air as there is nothing being broadcast? At that point, might as well just stop the stream and restart it.

hearty blaze
#

It's more of a 20 second delay! Wasn't sure if there was a way to do it rather than ending & restarting 🫣

untold jay
#

@hearty blaze I can name 2 methods, one hurts quality somewhat, and the other is very expensive.
Very expensive: add 40x 500ms render delay filters to that scene, use the obs-ffmpeg-afilter plugin to delay audio by 20 000 ms. This will cost approximately (4 x width x height x frame rate) bytes of video memory (VRAM) per second, so at 1080p60 about 497 664 000 B per second, or ~9.5 GiB in total.
Hurts quality: start recording, open the recording in mpv (the video player, https://mpv.io ), run a second portable copy of obs-studio, use game capture to capture both video and audio from mpv, redirect mpv's audio output to a different unused audio device (such as vb-audio CABLE). Stream using the second portable copy. Then, you can control stream delay by seeking in mpv during playback - seek back 20 seconds to add delay, seek forward 20 seconds to remove it. Don't seek too far forward, else you may see glitches and/or may have to restart mpv.

Portable Mode allows the program to save and access configuration data from the program's base folder. To enable portable mode:

1.) Install/unzip to a custom directory outside of "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files"

# rotund canyon I checked and it seems like it's only the OBS

Due to issues with how Qt handles high-DPI display scaling, you may encounter some oddities in the OBS Studio UI when using DPI scaling. As a workaround, you can disable DPI scaling for OBS:

  1. Close OBS Studio.
  2. Find your OBS Studio shortcut, either on your desktop or in your start menu (Right click -> Open file location).
  3. Right click on it and select "Properties".
  4. Go to the "Compatibility tab".
  5. Click "Change high DPI settings".
  6. Tick "Override high DPI scaling behavior".
  7. In the dropdown, change it to "System (Enhanced)".
  8. Click OK to exit out of the scaling settings.
  9. Click OK to save the new properties.
  10. Launch OBS Studio as you normally would.
rotund canyon
#

Idk what's going on lol

untold jay
#

@rotund canyon Revert the previous troubleshooting step, quit obs-studio. Try changing the DPI scaling setting to 100%, launching obs-studio and changing the setting back to 150%.

@rotund canyon I don't see anything unusual, the screenshots you showed previously seem to be about what you should expect at 150% DPI scaling. Except for when the preview stops working correctly, that's certainly an issue. Does it still persist?

rotund canyon
#

I've always been use the 150% and somehow after I downloaded the Streamelements SE.Live and opened obs it changed

#

I ard uninstalled it

#

Both Streamelement SE.Live and Obs

#

and reinstalled Obs

untold jay
#

@rotund canyon Were you using a custom theme for obs-studio prior to this? Some updates changed the theme format, so all themes made for previous obs-studio versions no longer work.

rotund canyon
#

I also never have "Start replay buffer" before on the controls

rotund canyon
#

Does this look right to you?

#

I need to run it as administrator though or it won't capture Valorant

untold jay
#

I cannot figure this out. DPI scaling on Windows has always been problematic, so I've just avoided using it altogether. People occasionally report this issue of the preview corrupting in unusual ways, I have not found any solutions to this that would help everyone.

fossil wyvern
#

try 125%

#

I found that for some reason, it tends to still be ok for a lot of the qtisms, whereas higher ones fail

untold jay
#

If all else fails, you could reduce the display's resolution, this will make everything comparatively bigger, at the cost of image clarity. Probably not something you'd want to do.

I'll explain better, I'm using the Waveform Visualizer plugin and I wanted to put a filter where a text appeared that had jagged edges in time with the music of the Waveform Visualizer plugin, I wanted to write the text directly in obs

Is there a sort of 'source/group search function'?

I have a ton of grouped sources (over 200 in a single scene) that viewers can choose from to change my on-screen sprite/model. It gets a bit clunky trying to dig through 200+ groups to find the right sprite set- but if i could search a sprite name, and be shown every group with that name- ((with the ability to toggle visibility of that group))-- then that'd streamline things dramatically.

Does something like this exist?

quiet bramble
#

I think there is a plugin that can do that, but I don't remember what it is called, maybe someone else can tho. I'm wondering if the whole solution might be better handled by a custom LUA script though

#

Or even just having the chat bot make a symlilnk to an image file, pointing it to the one they chose, and OBS just automatically reloads an image if it changes

why is that?

because it's the most consistently broken plugin I have ever seen, and all that in order to do exxxactly nothing that can't be done better by other tools

i think they fixed everything now?

I'm ready to take a bet they didn't

i seen complaints about it in their discord

fossil wyvern

if only on the base principle that it's a piece of software complex enough that it won't ever have no bugs

untold jay
#

The worst of the issues (bricks the whole install in a way you could never solve on your own) are gone now, but general stability issues are still present. You don't need their plugin to use their services anyways.

#

Also, every update to obs-studio still breaks the plugin in a manner that's annoying to fix.

i managed to solve it on my own?

That was fixed shortly after they rebranded from "obs.live" to "se.live", if memory serves.

#

hi is there a multistream plug in that lets me change the main settings to have that plug in to be default

spiral ruin
#

Just make a new profile with the stream settings you want to be as the "main" settings.

mortal harbor
#

i mean the streaming settings like where you set the

#

output to be that plugins defaul

spiral ruin
#

I mean the same thing

mortal harbor
#

oh

spiral ruin
#

If one of the plugins stream settings is what you want to have the OBS output settings, you can change the OBS Output - Stream settings on your current profile, or make a new Profile.

mortal harbor
#

how do you make the plugin for default

spiral ruin
#

One benefit of using multiple Profiles is to have separate Output settings. Like, I have one for Twitch, and two different ones for YT.

spiral ruin
mortal harbor
#

i don't see it

spiral ruin
#

Don't see what?

mortal harbor
#

for the auitum streaming in the drop down

spiral ruin
#

Please use complete sentences. I am asking, "You don't see what in the aitum settings?"

mortal harbor
#

what i mean is aitum isn't appearing in the drop down in obs settings

spiral ruin
#

It won't

mortal harbor
#

which i want the plugin to be default

spiral ruin
#

You can't make a plugin a default.

#

Just copy the settings you want and enter them as "default" in OBS.

mortal harbor
#

ok

#

then please implement multistream integration in obs

spiral ruin
#

Not likely to happen, as there are higher priorities for bug-squashing and tech improvements, as well as other features to add. Besides, there are functional plugins and other solutions for peoples' multistream needs.
As OBS is open-source, you are welcome to contribute towards developing a multistream feature.

#

I want to change the direct streaming instead of rtmp

fervent marsh
#

That doesn't really explain anything.

mortal harbor
#

i wanted to stream to like 4 platforms

#

and if you had the integration in obs studio that would save me a lot of time and it would also mean

#

that i can have more platforms to stream to with restream alone

#

the thing is i keep having issues with encoders i use so far

#

and i have been really stressed for this issue

#

and part of your question: the existing solutions doesn't fit my needs for this because i have to open the plugin every time that i need to stream there is some discomfort using these plug ins the reason why i am requesting this in obs is because i can't really find anything that fits my needs other than obs studio all of them i used so far had issues (and prism live studio i had some issues every stream it would work when installed the first time)

#

and sorry if i need to slow down a bit for the typing in bulk

#

and also there is no options for changing the main plugins to default

spiral ruin
#

Some encoders only support 3 encoding sessions, some maybe up to 6, I think. That would include each separate stream output, separate recording output, replay buffer, backtrack, and maybe others. So, unless you hardware gpu encoder supports the number of streams you want plus any other active output, there's no point in trying to add more to OBS, either integrated or via plugin. Restream.io works because you pay them to do all those additional encoding sessions.

mortal harbor
#

yeah restream does have a free plan which i am using that for

#

yes i have tried this on my computer and it works fine without issues

#

like on obs but on

#

prism live i kept on having frame drops

spiral ruin
#

Frame drops in the stream?

#

one or any of the streams?

mortal harbor
#

that is pretty much why i came back for the obs

#

what i am talking about is another encoder

#

besides obs

spiral ruin
#

Then why bring it up? You are really confusing the conversation when you bring up things that happen in other apps.

mortal harbor
#

yes well i am trying to explain why i need this feature

spiral ruin
#

You have explained you want multistream integrated into OBS. If you read that post linked to you earlier, the last update about any progress on that was 2018. A lot of priorities have changed since then, and demand for other features went up. And there are plenty of third party plugins as well. There are even hardware options for creating an additional stream.

mortal harbor
#

where

#

i cannot find any of them that i could fit the needs

spiral ruin
#

Aitum Multistream
multi-rtmp plugin
SE.live plugin as been updated with multistream features.

mortal harbor
#

yes

#

SE.Live plugin

#

i tried everything

#

but doesn't that crash obs

#

i had some issues with it

#

i am very hesitant to use that because i do not want my obs studio to crash

#

and it was very hard to use

spiral ruin
#

Then perhaps it is time to adjust your needs to fit the hardware you have. Or, purchase additional hardware to set up multiple streams from different pcs. Or, Restream paid services.

mortal harbor
#

paid services that won't fit

#

i don't have income

fervent marsh
spiral ruin
#

Sounds like your last option is to adjust to within your means and hardware limitations.

i think it would be a good idea to use SE.Live as a last resort

but doesn't that crash obs though

If you're having a problem with it, you're probably better off stating what you are trying to do, and what problem you're having, then someone with knowledge of the plugin can assess your problem and try to help troubleshoot the issue.

Excuse me, is there any replacement of Input overlay plugin on macOS? This plugin only supports Windows. Is there any website that enables me to find third party OBS plugins except for OBS forum?

obsidian agate
# dire goblet i did it!! thank you!

Each "clone" is via the "Source Clone" plugin.

The first "clone" is cloning the Video Cameras source, and has a Color Correction filter to reduce the opacity to 60%. It also has a Render Delay filter set to 250ms.

The second clone is cloning the first clone. It also has a Render Delay of 250ms. Since it clones the first clone, it is already cloning a 250ms delayed video, making its effective overall delay 500ms.

image.png
#

updated my info above. I accidently hit enter while I was typing, lolol

dire goblet
#

yeaa ty!! i didnt know the source clone plugin existed haha

obsidian agate
#

you may need to do some adjustments. with mine, the original camera is on the bottom of the whole thing, whereas the delayed clones are on top.

Blending Modes (accessed by right clicking a source and going to the submenu of the same name) could probably get a better effect overall, closer to what you originally showed in the video

#

there we go. Re-adjusted the opacity of the Clone sources, and set their blending modes to "Add". This did raise their brightness, so against, need to tweak it, but this makes the main camera ahead of the clones, and closer to the original intended effect

#

whats interesting, is im am not seeing any bump in VRAM or system RAM usage to make this effect as it appears now

fervent marsh
#

There should be a bump in vram, that's where the render delay buffers live.

dire goblet
#

ooo yea putting them on "add" is better

When selecting the 2 "Gaming" Scenes the "Move" Transition does Nothing, doesn't even fade any sources in and out..

Hello everyone, could someone please help me?

I'm using the OBS Zoom to mouse plug-in via a screen capture, in short I've connected a 2nd monitor to my PC via an HDMI cable and chosen this as the screen capture in OBS, so that I can use the plug-in in the latter.

When it comes to zooming in on the desktop or a web page opened on the 2nd monitor everything works fine. However, if I open a software program such as Streamerbot (see video example), nothing happens. If I minimize the software window and click back on the desktop screen the zoom works again.

As you can imagine, I'd like to be able to zoom in on any element present in the relevant screen capture, not just the desktop or a web page. 🤷 How do you think I can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

ah, sorry, i thought you had it running on Mac. i misread your post, my mistake.

If anyone has had success running RTSP server on Mac (i'm running ARM M2) any tips would be greatly appreiated:

Have tried installing univeral and arm version, confirmed it's in the plugins directory.

Tried chmod 755 for the foleder in case it was permissions related.

And searches have only lead me to a post almost a year old with no resolution.

Hi, everyone.

I want to build plugin for obs.

But I can't sure how to do this?

See the pinned messages in this channel

I downloaded obs project from github.

#

But I couldn't built it on windows.

I think there are too many risk for cmake.

@agile nimbus On Windows 8 and above, applications that are running without administrator privileges are not allowed to create hotkeys for applications that are running with administrator privileges. For OBS Studio's hotkeys to work reliably regardless of what application is focused, OBS Studio should be running as administrator. Some third party software, such as Elgato Stream Deck, will also need to be running as administrator to be able to send emulated hotkeys to OBS Studio, unless they're both not running as administrator.

# quiet bramble Can you describe the use case a bit more detailed, and operational requirements?...

I want to have something where any one of my friends can send me their video feed through OBS. During my live streams. I want to have their gameplay coming straight from their computer streaming to me so I can stream it out to twitch. I want the person to be able to click the start streaming button and have the feed go to me on a different network. I don't even know if this is possible but it would be great

WHIP/WHEP should help

#

ipv6 would still have firewalls blocking direct connectivity

quiet bramble
#

That's orthagonal however. THe problem with IPv4 is that while it is designed for end to end connectivity, that is broken on most of the Internet due to limited address space and the necessity to use NAT, where NAT breaks end to end connectivity. Packet filters are an optional technology that can sit on top of either, but are orthagonal to the end to end connectivity of the underlying protocols.

# fervent marsh Ah, ok, this makes sense.

So I managed to find the "issue" with the Move plugin; at least in my use case.
When using the "Match Nested Scenes" (checked) it appears that it doesn't match the actual "Nest Scene" Names, but instead the Sources within the nested scene itself.

Additionally; the "with last word removed match the other source name" enabled (as I had WebCam Small & WebCam Large sources I needed this option enabled) in the plugin is a bit broken (maybe?) as it doesn't seem to just elimite the "last word" .. as I had a source named "Game Window" and another source "Game Capture Overlay" and for some reason it was "matching" those two based on "Game" instead of just elimating the last word and recognizing the next words were different.. I renamed one to "Bob" and it started behaving correctly.

The plugin truely does not play nicely with Nested Scenes. Because even after renaming sources withing the nested scenes.. it was matching some correctly but not all. So I copied all those Sources from the nested scenes, pasted as Dups into eac scene itself. And almost everything started working as expected...

The plugin needs some sort of "Output" window, that shows what sources it's being matched to, and then a option to approve/decline the match (enable/disable) 🤷🏻‍♂️ just my two bits

Thanks for trying to help out the other day, much appreciated 🙏🏻

I'm automating some scenes on the advanced scene switcher, All the videos are triggered to switch when the current video stops. But soon after I turn on the plugin, the scenes just switch randomly even though the trigger is activated. I'm using 125 scenarios, is the huge amount causing it?

carmine viper
#

this means you have something set up incorrectly but if you mean you have 125 different macros to do this I don't think I'll be able to help troubleshoot that

fossil wyvern
#

disable macros one by one, till you find the one that fucks up?

spare briar
#

but the problem is that it already starts with error

#

even with the macros that have nothing wrong

fossil wyvern
#

I put it to you that you cannot possibly be certain that 125 macros do not have one single mistake in them

#

hence checking which macro causes the issue, to check whether it's an issue of the macro or of the plugin

You can set debugging to tell you which macros are actually getting activated at what time, if that's helpful.

vdo.ninja has a centralized control room for multiple incoming vdo.ninja streams, so that you can monitor and control all the inputs.

Probably. But again, you really are not describing what you need that isn't currently available with OBS, vdo.ninja, or the stream services.

#

I need to know what you have before I can judge if something is "better" than what you do right now.

#

@spiral ruin ig it's performance mainly. As vdo. Ninja is peer 2 peer sometimes feels like a centralized option would be better as the encoding doesnt depends on everybody?

#

Don't have OBS handy, but that's the short version.

quick kraken

Yeah, I only know because I looked at the source to figure out what was and wasn't supported by the expression syntax.

...I wonder if there's a way to turn that into effectively a subroutine call. I've not delved much into the fancier ways of having macros call other macros.

#

@loud wedge I realize that this (random number between two bounds) would be a real useful feature for the 'variable' action, to be able to generate a random number between two bounds (each of which could be specified directly or via another variable or similar), with the user's choice of int or float (though it might simplify to just offer int and let the user do their own math if they want a float)

quick kraken

heh TIL

It might be "random" instead of "rand". If that doesn't work, lemme know and I'll go turn on my desktop and see what it was I actually used.

Hi friends! I'm trying to convert a Shadertoy from https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Xsl3RX to work with obs-shaderfilter and I'm a bit stuck. Here's what I have so far:

const float rings = 5.0;
const float velocity=4.;
const float bBorder = 1.4;

float4 mainImage(VertData v_in) : TARGET
{
    float b = bBorder/uv_size.x;

    float2 position = uv_size.xy/uv_size.xy;
    float aspect = uv_size.x/uv_size.y;
    position.x *= aspect;
    float dist = distance(position, float2(aspect*0.5, 0.5));
    float offset=elapsed_time*velocity;
    float conv=rings*4.;
    float v=dist*conv-offset;
    float ringr=floor(v);
    float color=smoothstep(-b, b, abs(dist- (ringr+float(frac(v)>0.5)+offset)/conv));
    if(fmod(ringr, 2.0) == 1.0)
        color=1.0-color;
    color = sqrt( color );
    return float4(color, color, color, 1.0);
}

and I'm now receiving no errors (which is very encouraging) however, the toy is just a black screen, implying I'm returning the color incorrectly / it's always 0.0? I haven't (on purpose) changed the math, just basically substituting keywords. I previously asked about a shadertoy conversion in here and Exeldro converted it for me and - when he did so - he didn't use uv_size directly but instead calculated what fragCoord would have been, and I tried that as well with the same result.

// everything else remains the same except:
    float2 fragCoord = float2(v_in.uv.x * uv_size.x, (1.0 - v_in.uv.y) * uv_size.y);
    float2 position = fragCoord.xy/uv_size.xy;

If anyone has any experience with shaders in obs town, I'd deeply appreciate any advice or guidance you might be able to share, thank you.

okay, fixing my PEBKAC error, I'm still getting all black

const float rings = 5.0;
const float velocity=4.;
const float bBorder = 1.4;

float4 mainImage(VertData v_in) : TARGET
{
    float b = bBorder/uv_size.x;

    float2 fragCoord = float2(v_in.uv.x * uv_size.x, (1.0 - v_in.uv.y) * uv_size.y);
    float2 position = fragCoord.xy/uv_size.xy;
    float aspect = uv_size.x/uv_size.y;
    position.x *= aspect;
    float dist = distance(position, float2(aspect*0.5, 0.5));
    float offset=elapsed_time*velocity;
    float conv=rings*4.;
    float v=dist*conv-offset;
    float ringr=floor(v);
    float color=smoothstep(-b, b, abs(dist- (ringr+float(frac(v)>0.5)+offset)/conv));
    if(fmod(ringr, 2.0) == 1.0)
        color=1.0-color;
    color = sqrt( color );
    return float4(color, color, color, 1.0);
}

calculating fragCoord (as Exeldro did for my previous conversion) is what should be there tho, you're right about that

carmine viper
#

I am trying to debug it myself as a thought experiment but I like I said I don't know much about shaders, seems to be an issue with conv though

if you replace float v=(dist * conv) - offset; with float v=(dist * 10) - offset; for example, you will get a (non-moving) image at least.

const float velocity=4.;
const float bBorder = 1.4;

float4 mainImage(VertData v_in) : TARGET
{
    float b = bBorder/uv_size.x;

    float2 fragCoord = float2(v_in.uv.x * uv_size.x, (1.0 - v_in.uv.y) * uv_size.y);
    float2 position = fragCoord.xy/uv_size.xy;
    float aspect = uv_size.x/uv_size.y;
    position.x *= aspect;
    float dist = distance(position, float2(aspect*0.5, 0.5));
    float offset=elapsed_time*velocity;
    float conv=rings*4;
    float v=(dist * 10) - offset;
    float ringr=floor(v);
    float color=smoothstep(-b, b, abs(dist- (ringr+float(frac(v)>0.5)+offset)/conv));
    if(fmod(ringr, 2.0) == 1.0)
        color=1.0-color;
    color = sqrt( color );
    return float4(color, color, color, 1.0);
}```

Tested it in OBS 30.2.3

#

Some tips for porting Shadertoy GLSL shaders to OBS:

  • global const not supported, need to be changed to #define macros, or uniform variables (which become user configurable in OBS UI)
  • Shadertoy's iTime = elapsed_time in Shaderfilter
  • iResolution -> uv_size
  • fragCoord is v_in.pos, so useful to set up some shortcut variables for uv and pos for convenience
  • HLSL has no mod() like GLSL, so you have to define it yourself to get identical operation to GLSL
  • fract() -> frac()
  • vecN -> floatN
  • mix() -> lerp()
  • Start every file with a single line comment of some kind, as OBS will crash if the first line is a preprocessor directive and that works around it.
  • Arguments to atan() are reversed in HLSL
  • The Y coordinate increases upward in GLSL, but downward in HLSL, so you may have to reverse the direction of it if it matters or things can end up upside down.
  • Matrices in GLSL are row-major, however HLSL is column-major, and the HLSL syntax for changing this does not work, so matrix operations need to be converted by hand
  • Arrays can not be passed into functions in OBS's HLSL implementation, so code doing this needs to be completely restructured to avoid it.
  • Shadertoy shaders can use multiple buffers or passes, however the shader plugins for OBS scan only handle a single pass and a single buffer (subject to future feature enhancements possibly changing this). As such, converting these type of shaders to OBS is not possible without using a LUA script or writing a full blown OBS plugin that can invoke multiple shader passes or implement multiple buffers.
  • Bug: OBS does not parse non-parameterized macro expansions wrapped in parentheses properly. Using this macro works around the problem.
#define macro(x) ((x))

  Example:
        #define FOO (1234)  // OBS will issue a parsing error on this line,
        #define FOO macro(1234)    // OBS accepts this, and expands the macro properly,
#

Hope this helps.

# solar stratus Any thoughts on this?

For context, I am working on a One Month 24-7 Stream. I'm going to have 2 outputs - one of which being a consistent stream and the other being an output that splits every 8 hours so I can have a VOD as well. In order to do this, I have like 93 different macros that change the stream key. I used Google Sheets to track and setup a formula to make macros, I just don't want to have to import all 93 separately.

hard jay
#

Can probably just find the settings folder and copy the whole thing?

#

I would expect all of that to be saved in the same place.

#

check %appdata%\obs-studio\plugin_config to see if there's the advanced scene switcher folder there

Oh, I just read your second message.

#

I got nothin' on that, heh. Can probably check the config structure and maybe write it manually to save time on the import, but I dunno what format it saves in.

It saves all of the macros as a json file, I should be able to find something that'll write all of the cells as a json.

Finally figured out the JSON format, I just had to remove the

from the end of each macro, and add a comma before each
{"name":
except for the first one. And then add the first two pieces back to the beggining / end of the whole export.

If you are having problems with playing content created by OBS Studio in Movies & TV or QuickTime Player, this is because the media player does not have proper format support. This causes missing video, audio, or for the file to not open at all.

We recommend VLC Media Player for better, accurate format support. Like OBS Studio, VLC Media Player is a free and open source project.
