plugins-and-tools

[near peak]

There's an option in tools dropdown menu to set it up

[daring wigeon]

yeah i just wanted to use the teleport output option

[near peak]

That he's not seeing

[daring wigeon]

i have a old laptop and i wanna test that if i made its puorpse to record my screen how smooth its going to bee

[near peak]

Odd, placed it in program files too just to be sure

I can see it 😐

[near peak]

Wdym it's right there

[daring wigeon]

wait wait i think i got it wrong

[near peak]

Lmao what

[daring wigeon]

bro its chat gpt that telling me what to do

[near peak]

Lolwut?

[carmine viper]

I think trusting chatgpt over your own eyes is probably a bad idea

[near peak]

@daring wigeon click teleport under tools, enable it, choose an identifier/name for the pc
Setup a scene however you want it

On a different PC you add a teleport source in your scene and choose the identifier

That's all you have to do

[daring wigeon]

it said teleport output not just teleport option so i think its a diffrent option

not my fault

[carmine viper]

certainly a lesson about the functionality and usefulness of chatgpt in a situation like this to be learned

[near peak]

I ain't even gonna discuss that

Good luck my dude, ya gonna need it

[daring wigeon]

1. Open OBS on PC 1 (the sender).

2. Go to Tools → Teleport → Teleport Output.

3. In the Teleport Output window, select "Add New" or configure the available input options.

Here, you’ll be prompted to select a destination IP for the receiver (PC 2’s IP).

Enter the IP address of PC 2 (e.g., 192.168.1.101).

4. Set up any audio/video settings as required for your stream.

5. Start the output. This will send your video and audio feed from PC 1 to PC 2 over the network.

Step 3: Set up Teleport on PC 2 (Receiver)

1. Open OBS on PC 2 (the receiver).

2. Go to Tools → Teleport → Teleport Input.

3. In the Teleport Input window, click on "Add New" or Create New.

4. Enter the IP address of PC 1 (e.g., 192.168.1.100).

Make sure you are selecting the correct input source (video and audio feed coming from PC 1).

5. Click Start Input or similar to begin receiving the feed.

Step 4: Adjust Settings

On PC 2, you may need to adjust the input settings (resolution, FPS, etc.) based on your network bandwidth and OBS settings.

Make sure the audio and video sync is working correctly, and there is no excessive delay or packet loss. If needed, adjust bitrate settings to optimize the stream.

Look bro what is teleport output and input

[daring wigeon]

I tried setting them up the normal way and there is a huge delay

[near peak]

How big are we talking

[daring wigeon]

MAYBE like a minute some times it even freeze completely

[near peak]

Could be 2 things. Your network card(s) are being overloaded. Or the PC transmitting the OBS is having a hard time keeping up with transmitting

[daring wigeon]

In the task bar when i look in the Ethernet section it tells me its receiving like 500-80 kbps

[near peak]

The task manager?

[daring wigeon]

Isn't they're supposed to be fast bcz they are literally connected with a cable

[daring wigeon]

Yes

[near peak]

On the receiving PC?

[daring wigeon]

Yeah

[near peak]

And what about the sending PC's CPU, GPU and ethernet usage?

[daring wigeon]

When i ping the pc in the cmd it tells me minimum 0ms and maximum 0ms 0% loss

[near peak]

Well yeah that defaults to 32 bytes, that's practically nothing

[daring wigeon]

How do i make it send faster?

[near peak]

.

[daring wigeon]

There normal and the gpu sits around 15% usage

[near peak]

What's normal, got some numbers for me?

[daring wigeon]

The cpu is 44% the Ethernet is the same as in the receiving pc and the gpu is 15% usage

[near peak]

What is your quality on in the teleport output setting

[daring wigeon]

Obs os not even taking anything from cpu

[spiral ruin]

Yeah, you have a network issue, either with the ethernet connection on the pc, the cable, the ethernet connection on the receiver pc, or any switch/router hardware in between them. A capture card may be a quicker solution, if these PCs are in the same room.

[near peak]

I'm actually thinking the teleport quality is too high. Worth a shot to bring that down to like 30-40 just to see what it's doing

The reason your network usage isn't high is because it isn't sending:

18:39:29.886: [obs-teleport] send queue high [192.168.1.101:49820] 800
18:39:29.904: [obs-teleport] send queue exceeded [192.168.1.101:49820] 801

[daring wigeon]

Do u mean the bitrate?

[near peak]

Tools > Teleport > Quality

[daring wigeon]

What?

[spiral ruin]

The queue is getting higher and higher, like people getting in line to buy movie tickets. But the ticket window isn't open.

[wooden fulcrum]

Bottleneck?

[near peak]

I like that analogy. And now by bringing the quality down we could try with shorter, uglier movies 😄

So people go in faster

[daring wigeon]

Yeah its so lees worse but there is a little delay but still way more better

[near peak]

Okay, can we get another log from your sender pc?

Do u mean that the sender is sending more than the receiving can't take?

[near peak]

Can we get a log from the receiving PC?

[spiral ruin]

Better, but this pc is going to struggle without a hardware encoder.
Is your other pc better, the receiver?

[spiral ruin]

No, the sender is sending so much information, the sender pc isn't even sending it out. It was not leaving the pc. Your second log shows improvement.

[daring wigeon]

Nah way wayyyy worse

[spiral ruin]

Time for a new pc, if you really want to enjoy content production.

[daring wigeon]

How is it sending way too much but not even sending

[spiral ruin]

Bad phrasing on my part. The previous log shows the data lined up to be sent, but it never was sent.

[carmine viper]

are we not going to address the fact that it seems like what you are trying to do has no chance of working how you want it to?

[daring wigeon]

Iam not going to take as a job bro just a "fun hobbie"

[near peak]

Depends really on the delay

1 to 1 is maybe not possible

[daring wigeon]

Is there any way to take as much quality and frames possible?

[near peak]

You're already going above the capabilities to be fair. Lower quality some more

At some point you'll see it, maybe not depending if this is fast paced motion content you're putting out

[daring wigeon]

Thats suck

[near peak]

Welp to be fair, the PCs suck 😄

[daring wigeon]

Can i record mc with it

[daring wigeon]

Doesn't need a genius to figure that

[near peak]

Hard maybe

[daring wigeon]

???

[near peak]

Not sure, been years since I've played MC

[daring wigeon]

I swear ur pfp looks like fit mc face

If u know him

[near peak]

Yeah that's my brother

Bald and beard is basically one big family, we just don't say it publicly

[daring wigeon]

Is he actually UR brother

[near peak]

Hell no

Btw another thing, you recording or streaming?

[daring wigeon]

Recording ofc

[near peak]

Okay, why does it matter it's delayed on the receiving PC?

[daring wigeon]

Idk thought that like if i pressed on pause it would pause in a before moment

U get what i mean?

[near peak]

You can edit that afterwards anyway

i get what you mean but meh, do that in post production

[daring wigeon]

If i crank the quality a little and there was delay in the receiving pc it wouldn't matter?

Like if i paused or endedd the record it would come out good?

[spiral ruin]

Test it and see

[near peak]

As long as it's just delay, and not stuttering or messing up audio. No it doesn't matter

[daring wigeon]

Is that delay going to be the frames thats coming out in the recording?

[spiral ruin]

Test it and see the results. No one knows on such old hardware.

[daring wigeon]

K how do i connect my mic to the recordings

[spiral ruin]

You are really on your own trying to make this work. It's up to you to decide if the quality is acceptable.

[spiral ruin]

You add a mic source. Preferably with the mic connected to the pc doing the recording.

[near peak]

Teleport also sends audio

[near peak]

Also an option, you just have to align it in post production then

[daring wigeon]

Oh ok sad that my mic that i bought doesn't even get recognized by the pc

[spiral ruin]

What mic? How does it connect to the pc?

[daring wigeon]

Its a boya m1-b1 mic

I think that i need a trrs to trs adapter or smth

[spiral ruin]

Looks like it.

[daring wigeon]

Wait how do i check if its running off the internet connection or the cable connection?

[spiral ruin]

what?

[near peak]

you mean wifi or cable?

[daring wigeon]

Yes

And do i press record on the receiver or the sendrr?

[spiral ruin]

think about it, where do you want the recording to be performed and saved?

[daring wigeon]

Stupid question ik

[spiral ruin]

If you press record on the sender, why even send it to the other pc? Unless you have reasons.

[near peak]

I just went back to your log and something I see is that you're now sending frames to 192.168.100.23 instead of 192.168.1.101?

[daring wigeon]

what????

[near peak]

Aight I think this entire thing might be just a tad lil too complicated for you so I'm going to backup Papa Luigi's question.
Why go to the trouble of setting up a dual setup if you could record on 1 pc?

[daring wigeon]

Bro i am using the other pc full hard ware just to record

Yeah the recording is frozen

There is sound but no frames

1 frame per whenever i want

[near peak]

Okay but I think we're going a bit out of scope here :p I have to explain networking to you just so you could be sure you're sending and/or receiving on cabled network

if you wanna be sure, disable wifi on both devices

[daring wigeon]

What will that do

[near peak]

You're probably hitting the too high of a queue again, lower the quality

[near peak]

You're gonna be sure you're sending and receiving on cabled network

[daring wigeon]

It turned black then came back and froze

No wait i see the sound bar moving soooo slowly

Its struggling to move

1 frame per 3 busines days

[near peak]

.

[daring wigeon]

Its 40

40 when the internet was on was pretty good in term of frames

[spiral ruin]

what do you mean by "when the internet was on"? Do you mean the wifi adapter on the pc?

[daring wigeon]

.

[daring wigeon]

.

[near peak]

Alright let's stop talking about internet and talk about WiFi connection and cable connection. It's confusing us right now.

If it was working better on WiFi then there's something messed up with your cabled connection

[daring wigeon]

I told you it pings correctly and the IP is also correct

[near peak]

Doesn't matter

A calculator can ping 32 bytes

[spiral ruin]

pinging correctly doesn't measure stability.

[near peak]

Facts right now: with wifi = less laggy
with cable = laggy

[daring wigeon]

Ye

[spiral ruin]

@daring wigeon the best we can help with here is getting some kind of recording done on one pc, the better of the two. We can't help you troubleshoot your home network to make Teleport a better option for a dual pc setup vs. one pc.

[daring wigeon]

Bro whats the problem now thats causing it to be laggy is it poor internet connection or weak hardware???

[spiral ruin]

Don't know. We would need to physically be there to test your home network and pcs to troubleshoot it.

[daring wigeon]

Can't u know from the log files?

[spiral ruin]

Yeah, we see the symptoms of Teleport struggling on that pc. But the log does not tell us anything about your home network. Until you make sure you have a strong, high speed home network (not internet) for sharing data between pcs, Teleport is not going to be a good option for you. A capture card would be better, if you insist on a dual pc setup for recording.

[daring wigeon]

What's the difference between home network and internet

[daring wigeon]

Why is it struggling

Did u request the log files from the sender or from the receiver 🙂

[spiral ruin]

home network is your devices talking to each other, devices within your home. Wired or wireless.
Internet access to websites and services outside your home is what you pay for.

[daring wigeon]

Then how to make my home network stronger and faster

[spiral ruin]

Doesn't matter, but I asked for the sender, if the sender is having issues sending data, that's the first problem to fix. Or avoid by using a capture card or simply recording on the game pc.

[daring wigeon]

Idk if its important but on the sender i am using a usb to Ethernet adapter since i dont have a Ethernet port on it but the reciver have one

[spiral ruin]

Don't know in your case. I don't know what you have, so I don't know what to recommend. And telling me what you have won't help, so please don't.
This is beyond the scope of OBS support.

[spiral ruin]

Well yeah, that may be a problem. Does your pc have a proper ethernet port?

never mind, I see you state that

[daring wigeon]

Just tell me if its the cable or smth else

[spiral ruin]

I can't answer that question. You need to test it yourself, or have someone you trust test it. In person.

[daring wigeon]

Bro in the 3 day journey of trying to do dual pc setup ive done 2 entire new installtions of windows and bricked a usb somehow (the usb one is not my fault bro i swear)

[spiral ruin]

Please, just stop.
You have three options:

1. Get a friend to come over and help you with your network
2. Buy a capture card if you want to use dual pc for recording.
3. Try recording on the game pc, which you say is the better pc.

You can't keep repeating the same questions and doing the same things while expecting different results.

[daring wigeon]

What does option 3 mean?

[spiral ruin]

It means a single pc setup

[daring wigeon]

Bro am sorry didn't think this would be so long and complicated

[spiral ruin]

Your choice of dual pc complicates it automatically. It's a simple fact, because now you need to maintain two pcs instead of one. Add to that the Teleport option requires a fast and stable local network, so that's one more thing to troubleshoot.

[daring wigeon]

There is actually no tut on youtube with the same conditions as me

[spiral ruin]

Rarely is.

[daring wigeon]

I tested 2 cables still no results just screw this man

[spiral ruin]

no thanks

[daring wigeon]

?

[spiral ruin]

don't worry.
I gave you the three options to try. The fourth one would be to simply get a better pc, so that you can play and record on one without issues.

[daring wigeon]

Overall i appreciate the help and thank yall for your time

[spiral ruin]

👍

[daring wigeon]

If i bought a capture card wouldn't it be laggy bcz the lack of good hardware?

[spiral ruin]

You wouldn't need to run OBS on the game pc if you use a capture card. So, you may actually improve overall performance on that PC.

Too hard to tell for sure until you actually test it

[daring wigeon]

No i mean that the pc thats going to record has trash hardware so isn't going to be laggy?

[spiral ruin]

Again, still don't know because you were having issues just getting video to the recording pc, right? But like I said earlier, if the recording pc is really that bad, just do everything on the game pc.

[daring wigeon]

My game pc is not even considered decent it runs the game a 60 fps in good conditions maybe more

[spiral ruin]

I know, we can see that.
Doesn't change my advice. If you want any chance to make quality recordings, OBS should be on the better pc. Then adjust settings and troubleshoot from there.

[daring wigeon]

Minecraft is a CPU intensive game and UNFORTUNATELY i dont have a encoder on my gpu so all the load is on my power saving laptop cpu

[daring wigeon]

Its cpu intensive when not running shaders

[spiral ruin]

I know what MC is and we know from a lot of support here how people play on underpowered gear and expect quality from OBS, when they could be adjusting MC so that OBS has room to use resources.

[daring wigeon]

Thats a different story

[spiral ruin]

You have QSV

Final point. I listen options. Pick one. Or don't.

[daring wigeon]

I have like 27 mods including sodium and alot more

[daring wigeon]

What is that

[spiral ruin]

Then you are already over-working that pc for reason if you want quality in a recording. Whether you use Teleport or not.

[daring wigeon]

Bro these mods make the game alot smother and inhances performance

[spiral ruin]

hardware encoder you have based on your log. Also known as Quicksync

[daring wigeon]

What hardware encoder should i put?

[spiral ruin]

at the expense of your pc perfomance when you want to do other things, like run OBS on it. Your choice and your priorities.

[tidal sphinx]

Hallo liebe OBS-Community,

ich hoffe, es geht euch allen gut!

Ich suche dringend jemanden, der mir per TeamViewer oder AnyDesk dabei helfen kann, mein OBS mit TikTok zu verbinden und einige weitere Einstellungen vorzunehmen. Ich habe das Ganze bereits einmal mit der Unterstützung eines Freundes erfolgreich eingerichtet und zum Laufen gebracht. Leider kann er mir momentan nicht weiterhelfen, da er sich im Krankenhaus befindet.

Da ich mich mit den technischen Details nicht so gut auskenne, wäre ich wirklich dankbar, wenn sich jemand die Zeit nehmen könnte, mir Schritt für Schritt zu helfen. Es geht vor allem darum, die optimale Konfiguration für einen flüssigen Stream einzustellen, eventuell ein paar Szenen und Overlays anzupassen und sicherzustellen, dass alles stabil läuft. Falls jemand Erfahrung mit TikTok-Streaming über OBS hat, wäre das natürlich besonders hilfreich.

Ich weiß es sehr zu schätzen, wenn sich jemand meldet und mir unter die Arme greift. Falls nötig, können wir uns gerne vorab abstimmen, um einen passenden Zeitpunkt für die Unterstützung zu finden.

Vielen Dank schon jetzt an alle, die sich die Zeit nehmen, meine Anfrage zu lesen und mir vielleicht sogar helfen können! Ich freue mich über jede Unterstützung und jede Rückmeldung.

Liebe Grüße,
Totto aus Dortmund

[spiral ruin]

If I'm offering hardware as an option, what do you think?

[daring wigeon]

Yeah its already at qiuck sync and there is other options i mean like should i pick another hardware encoder or not?

[spiral ruin]

do you see a different hardware encoder?

[spiral ruin]

auf englisch, bitte

[tidal sphinx]

Ich kann leider kein English gibts , denn auch einen deutschen Support?

[spiral ruin]

You can try different encoders, but the Quicksync encoder is the only hardware encoder on that pc.

[daring wigeon]

what are the others

[spiral ruin]

others would be available if you had hardware supporting it...

[spiral ruin]

tut mir leid, kein Support auf deutsch

[tidal sphinx]

Hello dear OBS community,

I hope you are all doing well!

I am urgently looking for someone who can help me connect my OBS to TikTok via TeamViewer or AnyDesk and make some other settings. I have already successfully set up the whole thing once with the support of a friend and got it up and running. Unfortunately, he can't help me at the moment because he's in the hospital.

Since I'm not that familiar with the technical details, I would be really grateful if someone could take the time to help me step by step. The main thing is to set the optimal configuration for a smooth stream, possibly adjust a few scenes and overlays and make sure that everything runs stably. Of course, if anyone has experience with TikTok streaming via OBS, that would be especially helpful.

I really appreciate it when someone gets in touch and helps me out. If necessary, we can coordinate in advance to find a suitable time for support.

Many thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to read my request and may even be able to help me! I am happy about any support and feedback.

Best regards,
Totto from Dortmund

[carmine viper]

I thought you had to use tik tok studio and add the OBS virtual camera as a source there.

[fossil wyvern]

yeah that's fundamentally the way to do it

[shut compass]

codecs and plugin question here, if this is not the best place to ask, please let me know a better place. 🙂

I am running OBS, I have an rtx 4090, I am using the Nvidia Background Removal plugin. In the past I have pulled in a performer using the AV1 codec and it seemed the background removal worked pretty well. I recently, for more general compatability, decided to switch over to using h264 codecs. Since the switch, I have noticed the Background removal is much less stable. I think this may have something to do with the AV1 codec's ability to handle color better, but am not 100% sure.

My question is, does anyone have any tips or tricks to get the background removal to work better using the h264 codec? Or do you think VP8 might better? I am trying to reduce the workload on the performer computer (hence h264). If it is helpful I am pulling folks in via vdo.ninja.

[untold jay]

@shut compass These two features are not related, and your performance should be good enough to run both, regardless of what codec you choose. It's more likely that your lighting conditions have changed, making it harder for background removal to figure out what's what. If obs-studio is not reporting any performance issues in the Stats window, your issue is elsewhere and your choice of codec won't introduce new issues, regardless of which one you use.

[shut compass]

Ya, I do not have any performance issues. Even when I am taking 10 performers video feeds, removing their backgrounds, and placing all 10 in front of a background... Unfortunatly I do not always have control over some performers lighting... But Even with my professional lighting setup I can disappear a bit more using the h264. It's strange...

[untold jay]

@shut compass This is probably run to run variance, but if you would like to produce a direct comparison, you can use the source record plugin to record the same scene into two files, one with av1, one with h264.

[shut compass]

Thanks. I also just noticed that the threshold was set to .95 whereas in another scene collection I have it set to .90. I will do some testing but I think this may help a tiny bit.

[quartz jacinth]

Anyone having issues with controller overlays not being active while playing a game but itsa viewable on obs?

[untold jay]

@quartz jacinth Add --disable-features=EnableWindowsGamingInputDataFetcher to your launch options, this will also be the default in future releases.

[quartz jacinth]

awesome thank you. where can i find those settings sorry novice at this lol

[untold jay]

@quartz jacinth Quit obs-studio, copy the above text, right-click your shortcut to obs-studio, choose Properties, then select the Target field, press End, press Space, paste, hit OK, run obs-studio.

[quartz jacinth]

for some reason that didnt work is there a way to do it through the web browser source in obs?

[untold jay]

@quartz jacinth Could you copy the contents of the Target field and post them in this chat?

[quartz jacinth]

@untold jay "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe"

the overlay works just not when im playing the game im playing but if i click on obs it works

[untold jay]

@quartz jacinth Replace it with "C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --disable-features=EnableWindowsGamingInputDataFetcher

[quartz jacinth]

SUCCESS. your a legend. thank you

[daring prism]

hey is there plugins to make my stream run smoother form my labtop ?

[sick trout]

Does anyone know a good OBS plugin that allows you to track the program's performance or some advanced application features?

[dark sapphire]

https://github.com/exeldro/obs-source-profiler/releases
Requires OBS 31.

[sick trout]

Thanks

[rotund ocean]

Hello 🙂 What's the etiquette of posting about some software I've been working on that interacts with OBS? Or is this purely for troubleshooting...

[untold jay]

@rotund ocean Submit it to https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/ .

[rotund ocean]

Cool. I have and just waiting for approval. No worries 🙂

[carmine viper]

hey, random question, does anyone have any third party tool to do realtime motion graphics?

there, now you can tell me about it 😄

[rotund ocean]

😆 awks

[carmine viper]

I am not the one who approves those but I did see it, looks very cool

[rotund ocean]

Thank you. :). Hopefully gets approved on the forums. On that note I'll stop clogging up this channel. 🙏

[harsh topaz]

You're not clogging up the channel, its what it's for friend 🙂

[hard jay]

Approved it just now, thanks for taking the time to make a clean and correct submission!

[rotund ocean]

Legend! Thank you so much 🙂

[harsh topaz]

Is it an electron app?

The UI has the feel to it

[rotund ocean]

It is yeah 😬

[harsh topaz]

Cool, looks very extensive from the previews. Websocket communication?

[rotund ocean]

Part obs-websocket for the initial building, but it's actually a python script that drives the animations

[harsh topaz]

Oh? How you communicating with obs?

[rotund ocean]

It communicates with both obs-websocket and a python socket library for taking in the actual commands to animate

I've been using a version of it on my streams for over 5 years. So it's been tried and tested! Just relatively recently thought I'd package it up and make it usable for other people.

[quiet bramble]

Hey @rotund ocean!

[rotund ocean]

🙏

[quiet bramble]

I was just talking about Stream Animate like a day or two ago! 😛

[harsh topaz]

Ah cool! Well done though 🙂

[rotund ocean]

it's been a long road haha. This version is finally where I want it to be,

[quiet bramble]

I was in a discussion about software doing effects/etc. with OBS as a separate program and your name came to mind. 😛

[rotund ocean]

🙏 it's changed a lot since you last tried it

[quiet bramble]

yeah, I bet! I have been away from fx stuff for a while so I'm behind on all the latest things 😛

Good to see you got it on the resource forum now, I was going to ask you about that next time I caught up with you hehe.

[rotund ocean]

was always 'something' I wasn't happy with, still are a few things and I expect some bugs...but it's very stable

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, it's good to let some things bake in the oven long enough until one is happy with it. I'm in that line of thought myself. 🙂

[hard yarrow]

Is the virtual camera considered a plugin/tool or no? I'm having trouble with it and nobody replies in windows-support

Plus my trouble is very development-related: Unreal engine 4 on windows 10 cannot seem to see it as a media source, despite seeing other virtual camera software and actual webcams

[untold jay]

@hard yarrow Does obs-studio see its own virtual camera in video capture device source dropdown?

[hard yarrow]

yes

discord sees it as well

[untold jay]

@hard yarrow Could you be more specific with "other virtual camera software"? I would try the obs-virtualoutput plugin, and maybe streamlabs desktop.

[hard yarrow]

I have 3 other devices to test with as well, a real webcam, a vive, and a cap card, all of which are seen by unreal 4

other virtual camera software as in manycam and altercam

[untold jay]

@hard yarrow Those are not virtual cameras, those have real drivers. Some software will check for drivers or lack thereof to detect and skip virtual cameras. I'm not familiar with the other two applications you mentioned, they could be emulating the presence of a device driver, obs-studio can't do that.

[hard yarrow]

I actually did try streamlabs desktop, it uses the exact same dll as obs-studio and as such, did not work

I assumed the thing that separated a device driver from a linked dll was whether it showed up in the device manager, I guess I was wrong (those software virtual cams did not show up, as obs virtual camera does not)

This? https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.1744/

[untold jay]

@hard yarrow judging by release date, it'll likely load on v30.x, v31.x is not guaranteed. I doubt it'll behave any different, but it might.

[hard yarrow]

I just wasn't sure if that's what you meant by "obs-virtualoutput plugin"

which, when searched, doesn't seem to find an actual download

[untold jay]

@hard yarrow No, you found the correct one above.

[hard yarrow]

Hmmm I'm not sure this works at all, discord doesn't see anything and it doesn't even let me choose a source or scene to display

[untold jay]

The naming has become somewhat ambiguous since now obs-studio has a built-in virtual cam feature, but obs-virtualoutput is the only non-ambiguous way to refer to this third-party plugin.

Does it show up in the Tools menu?

[hard yarrow]

yes

[untold jay]

You can start it from there. Applications will only recognize the newly installed virtual camera(s) after you restart them.

[hard yarrow]

hmm interesting, discord was live detecting other stuff I installed

lemme see

Well, it's almost what I want

It only displays whatever scene I'm on though

I'd have to run 2 obs instances to get what I want out of it haha

Okay time to test unreal though, this is at least halfway what I need

Damn, nope, unreal still doesn't see it

[hard jay]

unreal might only support mediafoundation devices, the virtualcam in OBS is directshow

[hard yarrow]

unsure... altercam seems to be directshow

[hard jay]

If unreal doesn't see it, and other applications do, it's probably best to jump over to the unreal support forums and see if anyone can assist then. We just register a directshow device.

[hard yarrow]

alright, that's still more info than I had before so works for me

[hard jay]

not trying to get rid of you, just not sure there's much left we can do, haha

[hard yarrow]

Nah it makes sense

As far as my dev friend and I can discern, this might actually be an unreal 4 vs 5 issue a windows 10 vs 11 issue

I just needed a little more information from folks in the know, the directshow vs mediafoundation knowledge is helpful

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean unreal 4 vs 5

[hard jay]

Yeah, our vcam devices (and all the plugins available) use directshow

[hard yarrow]

I meant Windows 10 vs 11

[wicked ivy]

This ended up being very useful, thanks again

[hard jay]

Glad it helped!

Lossless AVI made a difference for the vids with alpha, and one of them is on a static color background so for that I just added the background to the video and rendered without alpha to h264 so it supports gpu decoding

[coarse spire]

Can someone explain this plugin for me

[coarse spire]

or rather show me how it works

[fossil wyvern]

what are you trying to do exactly?

[coarse spire]

I'm trying to bring in a guest

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, use this instead :
https://vdo.ninja/

SRC-link is good but it's bordering ona professional solution for complex setups

way overkill for just "want to bring in a guest"

[coarse spire]

oh so the guest can see the stream feed

vdo is great but using virtual camera and a broswer lags the stream

[fossil wyvern]

when it happens, does obs report dropped frames?

[coarse spire]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

then it lags because your internet bandwidth isn't enough for both the stream and the vdo.ninja video

that plugin isn't gonna solve that

[coarse spire]

The pc also lags

not just drop frames

[oblique yew]

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

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

[atomic fog]

Hi guys, any of you know about a freeze effect filter that could be use with the freeze plugin to give the source a nice frozen effect? Unfortunately couldn't find it in shader filter and can't think of a way to put that on one of the sources I'm using the freeze plugin on.

[fossil wyvern]

by the freeze plugin, you mean this?
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/freeze-filter.950/

[atomic fog]

Yes, that's correct 🙂

[fossil wyvern]

so, given that this plugin is already a freeze effect filter, what are you looking for on top of it

[atomic fog]

A visual filter of the source being frozen 😄

[near peak]

Frozen as in ice?

[fossil wyvern]

which is what that plugin does, so you might have to be a bit more clear on what you mean

[atomic fog]

Yeah, anything like that, just to visually show as the source is frozen.

[near peak]

Errrrr you want to stop/freeze a source AND on top of have a visual indicator that it is frozen such as ice around the border or like a big pause button?

[atomic fog]

Yeah, that's correct

[near peak]

!sceneswitcher this looks like something for this plugin? A stream deck could do that too.

[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.

[near peak]

A visual indicator could just be an image source that you turn on simultaneously with the freeze source plugin.

[atomic fog]

No, I guess you're not getting my point. I'm already using the freeze plugin by exeldro, but I want a visual filter (as shaderfilter has, whole bunch of them) but unfortunately, can't find a freezing effect filter in there which I want to put on the source I'm freezing.

[fossil wyvern]

what do you mean exactly by "freezing effect"

[near peak]

You don't really need a filter, just toggle a transparant image source when you use it

[atomic fog]

Through the scene switcher plugin?

[atomic fog]

Let me show you 😄

[near peak]

Let me ask this, how do you toggle the freeze effect

A hotkey?

[atomic fog]

Well, its automated via streamerbot right now and it toggles on automatically.

[near peak]

Okay, no experience with streamerbot but basically do this:
Add an image source

Add for ex.

Make sure streamerbot toggles that image source NEXT to the freeze plugin

That probably sounds like the easiest visual indicator

Image can be literally whatever you want

[atomic fog]

Yeah maybe, I tried something like this but couldn't get that nicely on the source.

[near peak]

How come?

[atomic fog]

As the source I'm freezing in my case is a widget goal bar, and I cannot place such images on top of it nicely, so I'll have to tinkle around with it more and adjust the opacity on such image so it blends in nicely 🙂

Q: Does the OBS system have a Timer / Scheduler?

[spiral ruin]

Output Timer, yes, in the Tools menu.
There may be a scheduler of some kind, but not something I'm aware of.

[opaque geyser]

Doc page please

[spiral ruin]

what? It's right there in OBS.

[untold jay]

!advss @opaque geyser Could you elaborate? If you need to start/stop outputs at a specific date or time, the advanced scene switcher can do that.

[oblique yew]

@opaque geyser

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.

How to disable streamlabs plugin when I want to multi-stream using Restream? It seems that if the streamlabs plugin is plugged-in then it wants to route your multi-streaming ability thru streamlabs rather than giving you the option to use Restream. Thoughts? Would rather not have to purchase Streamlabs ultra when I could just disable it for when I want to multistream on Restream.

[hard jay]

!sl

[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.

[hard jay]

oh, hm, I thought we updated that for the plugin as as well

but basically reach out to SL for assistance with their stuff, we don't have much insight in to it here.

[whole prawn]

Ok, thank you. I just figured there might be a way to disable the plugin within OBS so that it doesn't compromise/compete with Restream.

[fossil wyvern]

I think it's disabling the "go live flow" in their setting that allows you to gain control back of the stream destination, but yee better ask them

[hard jay]

Not currently, no, you'd have to uninstall it.

any other options would need to check with them.

[whole prawn]

Ahh that did the trick! Thank you 🙏🏽

[fossil wyvern]

👍

[glass escarp]

@regal breach I'm enjoying your media-playlist-source plugin a lot, but I feel like there is something missing. That is, the ability to start on a random file as a restarting behaviour. I use it to play songs from a playlist that is shuffled with your plugin, but every time I switch to the scene with the source, I can only choose to start from the first file, or restart from the last played file. Since I use it to play shuffled music, I'd like to start on a random song. Have you considered implementing this? I imagine this can be done by internally shuffling on restart, right before playing the first file.

I found a workaround (Making the first file a really short and mute audio file), but a "native" feature for this would be perfect in my opinion. 😉

Regardless, great work on this plugin, and the fact that it shuffles on scenerefresh makes it worth using for me, over the VLC plugin! 🙂

[calm orbit]

Hello my friends - i would like to ask if anyone has experience with OBS and Nvidia Broadcast + Gaming/Streaming?

[obsidian agate]

what is the specific question?

[calm orbit]

I am having issues in OBS and i get lags in my camera - as soon as i start to play/stream a game and use background blur + background noise removal.

is there any chance to stream when i game - and not have my camera lag

when using nvidia broadcast?

[obsidian agate]

last I heard there were issues with Nvidia Broadcast recently. Try downloading the SDKs and use the filters within OBS instead of the Nvidia Broadcast app

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/

[calm orbit]

okay thx well i tried the filter in OBS with the backgroundblurr, but the standard obs plugin blurres the background way too much

i am using the elgato camera hub - and the blurr works perfectly fine there, but its not using the blurr and taking it over to obs

[rotund ocean]

I'm an idiot. 😆
I'm assuming editing an initial resource post, on the OBS Forums, puts the status back to "Awaiting approval"?

[vapid charm]

Yup

And "deleting" it until approved.

I say in quotes as it isn't actually deleted.

[rotund ocean]

Thanks for letting me know. I know not to change it again!

[hard jay]

Sometimes you can update without needing approvals again.

It's not exactly clear what triggers requiring approval on update. Probably anything that has a link or touches any of the spam filters.

[rotund ocean]

Ah yeah. I moved a link higher in the post. Thanks for the info. Learning as I go!

[hard jay]

xenforo does a pretty terrible job with resources in a lot of cases.

I wish it would just say something was "pending approval" to the user who owns the resource instead of "deleted"

because it's not deleted, and it's stupid it does that, but not much we can do.

[rotund ocean]

To be fair it just says Awaiting Approval again.. not actually seen anywhere saying it's deleted. I understand why there would be flags though with malicious actors or someone getting their account hacked etc.

[rough heart]

Hello, how are you?
I'm using OBS 31.0.1, and it crashes whenever I install Input Overlay or enable WebSocket. I have already followed the log analysis recommendations, but it still keeps crashing.
Has anyone experienced this? How did you fix it?

[fossil wyvern]

you get a crash report?

[rough heart]

yesssss

[fossil wyvern]

send it here

[rough heart]

like this?

[fossil wyvern]

that crash happens when you enable websockets?

[rough heart]

Yes, it started after enabling WebSocket.

[fossil wyvern]

oh, right, so it doesn't crash, when you enable websockets

you have enabled websockets, and now those crashes happen

right?

[rough heart]

Right! English as a second language, verb tenses are slightly different.

[fossil wyvern]

yeah don't worry, just wanted to make sure I was clear

[fossil wyvern]

does any of your browser source or dock use websockets?

[rough heart]

none of them

[fossil wyvern]

what uses websockets exactly?

[rough heart]

https://youtu.be/7DTVIh3w6U8?si=qoWE2dpUuEFav7sZ&t=778
I want to make it work like this.

[fossil wyvern]

you don't need websockets for input overlay

if you disable websockets, does the crash stop happening

[rough heart]

No? This tutorial shows that I need to.

[fossil wyvern]

oh wait the websockets of input-overlay not of obsws

[fossil wyvern]

are you trying to get inputs from another computer?

[rough heart]

No. I want the commands I use during recording to appear on the screen, but without the keyboard image, just the text. Like the part of the video I sent.

[fossil wyvern]

are you using a preset that is a html file?

[rough heart]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

if you remove the browser source that's using that preset, do the crashes still happen?

[rough heart]

let me check

OBS still crashing

[fossil wyvern]

send crash report again?

[oblique yew]

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file. Follow these instructions to upload your current log file:

1. In OBS Studio, click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File
2. Click the Copy URL button
3. Paste the URL into this Discord channel

[rough heart]

I managed to remove all sources that use Input Overlay and WebSocket, and OBS started working again. - LOL Crashes again

[fossil wyvern]

then you probably should report that to the plugin's dev

[rough heart]

yeah

[fossil wyvern]

if it crashes again without any source from input overlay, then send a crash report and a log

[rough heart]

thank you so much for your time helping me

[silk schooner]

Hey, was wondering, do I have to create a shader if I just want to modify a (video) source opacity via a filter? (if so, does it supports GLSL)
Thanks!

(/ where is da doc for filter development please? Thanks)

[fossil wyvern]

why a shader?

[silk schooner]

Because I saw that color correction filter is using that (even though it can do plenty other stuff than just change opacity)

[silk schooner]

?

[fossil wyvern]

if your sole goal is to change the source opacity, why not just use the color correction filter?

[silk schooner]

*My goal is to make opacity of a video source relative to the peak volume of an audio source. (Should've said it souner).
Yesterday I spent 2 hours messing with Lua, before realizing I can't get peak audio.

[fossil wyvern]

ok so :
1 : you can
2 : you really really shouldn't
3 : use the move plugin, it can detect audio volume and affect filter values afaik

[silk schooner]

Why shouldn't I do that? :/

[fossil wyvern]

scripting is a big footgun, especially so when doing stuff that's outside of the actual api

and given that there's a more proper solution, with the move plugin, use that

[silk schooner]

Wanted to do it in C.
Already managed to get the OBS Plugin Template working

[fossil wyvern]

oh then yeah, make your own plugin with a filter for it, way better

[silk schooner]

But if using the move plugin is more convinient, will try doing that, thx

[fossil wyvern]

if you can make your own plugin, it'll be more convenient in the long run

[silk schooner]

and also, would've like to get how to make obs plugins, cause it can be useful

[oblique yew]

A template for new OBS plugins including boilerplate code and CI scripts can be found at https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate

[oblique yew]

Developer documentation for OBS can be found here: https://docs.obsproject.com

[silk schooner]

Yeah ik, I have managed to get started

that's why I was asking if I have to mess with shaders, because I have an error related to effects (I don't have the thing under the hand cause I modifited it)

[silk schooner]

Before I jump into something without knowing, what would be the best way to modify the source opacity in C?
Is it to like mess with shaders and everything?

[untold jay]

@silk schooner Read the source code for the color correction filter, it has an opacity slider.

[silk schooner]

There are way too many things I have no idea what's going on in color correction filter, it's way beyond my C knowledge

like this: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/plugins/obs-filters/color-correction-filter.c#L340
I have no idea what it's doing

:(

[rotund canopy]

I need some help. I am using the advanced scene switcher app and trying to use the OCR/text function in the video option. What I am trying to do is have it change to "scene 1" when it sees RH and change to "scene 2" when it sees LH. I have use window capture and display capture, both versions I reduce the detection area to a specific point. I can verify that it recognizes the letters that I want it to see. When it click "run macro", it changes the scene like I want but it will not change automatically when the text changes on my screen. I have tried running the macros in parallel, only during changes, I have tried just basic and added "≠" rules. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

[silk schooner]

I'm onto something. Anyone knows how to fix that?
I think I'm missing some reference, but compared everything up to the CMakeLists of the color-correction-filter, and couldn't find the issue
(I'm hoping for this to be a standard thing that happens to every newbies 😭)
(It's in french, sorry, but I dunno how to change it)
You can replicate this error with copying the obs-studio color-correction-filter.c to the OBS Plugin Template C thing, without doing anything else

I have misclicked, and made a fool of myself.

Very good, carry on.

[silk schooner]

Ok actually, would it be easier to make a filter that change the opacity relative to an audio source, or making a new video source, that display an image with its opacity relative to an audio source?

[quiet bramble]

LOL

[real gull]

i cannot get my chatbox browser source to work no matter what i do? is there a setting i need, im using a streamelements browser source

[quiet bramble]

I'm not 100% certain but I think current Shaderfilter might have FFT support, which could be used to do that in a shader. (I'm still using older OBS/Shaderfilter because I'm lame LOL). However, if I'm wrong about that, OBS Shaderfilter Plus has FFT support for sure (although I dunno if it is maintained to work on current OBS or not).

[silk schooner]

I had checked really quickly if shaderfilter would do the job for what I want to do, and it didn't looked like it

but I'll dig deeper

Maybe it's the way

(and I love messing with shaders even though i'm not that good at making fancy ones yet)

[quiet bramble]

I had a quick look at the latest docs for Shaderfilter and do not see mention of FFT capabilities so not sure where I got that from but I had seen something in the past that suggested it might be the case, perhaps incorrectly. The other plugin does have it though, I just don't know if it is updated to work on current OBS or not.

[silk schooner]

Nah indeed, you were right, ShaderFilter Plus does have FFT capabilities!
Big huge thanks!

(figuring out how to get the max frequency the get peak), and tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I can chose from what audio source does it has to analyze the thing (it's annoying, but not terrible)

(also, will I be able to send info from WebSockets to a shader? (not important rn)) Thanks

[quiet bramble]

Note that Shaderfilter and Shaderfilter Plus, while having similar name and purpose, are completely different plugins unrelated to each other. 🙂

[silk schooner]

Interesting

Uhh, are these checkbox impacting audio? Or is it for, well messing around as I do?

[spiral ruin]

Those checkboxes are for telling those sources which track or tracks to play on.

[silk schooner]

ok

Apparently 1 is for playback, so can I freely bind 2 to 6?

Ohh yeah we can set that in output

Dang that's really awesome

Thanks everyone, I love you very much

[spiral ruin]

Any can be for playback. You can record any 1 track, all six tracks, or any combination of quantity and specific tracks in between. And independent of your recordin choices, one can be designated for stream. By default, Simple mode Output uses track 1, but that can be changed in Advanced mode.

[oblique yew]

To record multiple audio tracks in one file, particularly for video editing purposes, follow the Multiple Audio Track Recording Guide

[silk schooner]

And would it be possible to maybe have more tracks? :D

[fossil wyvern]

in short, no

[silk schooner]

oge :(

and would it be possible to modify shader property from websockets?

[silk schooner]

yes it's possible I think

[silk schooner]

thanks

I enjoy shadering :D

[vagrant minnow]

Are you... answering your own questions?

[regal breach]

Hi, i am a bit confused as to how you have it setup. When you switch scenes, do you not let the media finish? Because if you make it so plays the next file, then it will be randomized

[vale vine]

What exactly did you download and how did you install?

Because the 3d effect plugin isn't loading at all

[rigid charm]

here’s the full sir,i dont know why it just wont work i saw tutor from tiktok

[rigid charm]

dangg i dont get it

[vale vine]

You didn't extract it

You need to extract before running the installer

[fossil wyvern]

and also to restart obs after running the installer

[rigid charm]

aaa i see the problem

i should extract all first?

[vale vine]

Extract. And then run the extracted installer

This is promising! Thanks! Does this just cover the movement functionality or does it offer pattern tracking as well? 🙂

tracking not sure

it has face tracking...

[vernal crown]

Very cool and definitely points me to a step in the right direction. Appreciate it!

[sour fern]

I'm looking around for a specific plugin or tool that can acheive this:

As you can see in the image, I have a spot in this example layout where there is space for a source on screen, which gets switched out with other similarly-sized sources every so often.
What I want is a system for replacing the source and swapping it out with one of the others.
I have used the source toggler lua script in the past, I think, but this does not take into account priority or timings, and is pretty limited.

I would want to have capabilities for a priority tree/queue (for example if a raid comes in, that would override every other source). Also having groups be on a timer would ideal.
I think there are tools for this with the Move plugin, there was something called Transition Overrides that might do this? I don't know. Maybe using Advance Scene Switcher within a nested scene? Does that work within nested scenes?

[obsidian agate]

the Source Switcher plugin can do it.

Its basically like the Image Slideshow, but can use scenes and sources as the elements it switches between

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-switcher.941/

I use it for cycling thru different ad panels I have in my break scene, each panel is built as a separate scene so I can composite a lot of things together

[sour fern]

Ok yes this looks promising already, I will check it out!

[obsidian agate]

its very versatile. I use a NodeJS script externally to change the displayed scene/source based on a text file, but you can also just have it automatically cycle based on its own settings

[sour fern]

Yes I was particularly interested in ways I could trigger these from outside OBS like with streamer.bot or Node.js

[obsidian agate]

yep, use the Text File option at the bottom of that settings window. You still need to add all of the potential sources/scenes to its list, but you can then use StreamerBot/NodeJS to change the contents of the text file that it is monitoring

[sour fern]

Awesome, thank you so much!

[obsidian agate]

[wispy loom]

Does anyone know / can help me understand under what conditions a given instance of obs-shaderfilter is still actively on the GPU (using resources) vs not? I'm not sure I can tell really.

Is hiding it sufficient to "unload" it (with the little eyeball) or hiding the source? Removing the source from the active mix? Must the filter be deleted?

[serene echo]

Yes- toggling off the filter eyeball will keep it from going through the render process on your GPU, as will toggling off the source.

The one gotcha some people don’t realize- if you simply drag the source off the side of the canvas to hide it, it will still do the rendering process on the GPU.

[wispy loom]

... people do that? 😅😅😅

That's a new one on me, ty for explaining all of that

I presume the same is true of composite blur and stroke/glow/shadow then?

[fossil wyvern]

normally any filter should be "unloaded" when the eye is toggled on the filter, as that literally deactivates the filter source

I have seen weird cases with streamfx filters a few years ago, but it wasn't very conclusive

(n.b. that toggling the eye on the source the filter is on does not guarantee the same result, at all, be it for the source itself or its filters. The icon is the same, what it does behind the scenes (ha!) is very different)

[serene echo]

I do it, to have things move in from the side of the screen using the move plugin. If it is something GPU intensive, I'll add a move action to the chain that turns the filter off/on when it slides off/on the canvas. Just one of those things to be aware of :D. And yes, that is true of composite blur and SGS.

[wispy loom]

Interesting. I've always just used the little eyeball symbols (streamdeck and streamerbot play well with that, move plug-in does too) but I suppose it makes intuitive sense to get the thing off screen and expect it would reduce load.

Thank you again! And thanks for your plugins, I really enjoy them

[serene echo]

For me it is more of a animated move in/out effect that I was trying to achieve. Not moving it with the intent of it not rendering (if that makes sense)

ahhh.I think I might have lost the domain 😦

[wispy loom]

I see, I gotcha

[rotund hedge]

hi, i'm fairly new to obs, and am interested in writing a video filter. looking at the source and documentation, it seems like video filters are generally written as GPU shaders in .effect files. is it possible to write a video filter that runs on the CPU? at least for initial development and debugging, it would be nice to run things on the CPU.

[fervent marsh]

You can run a filter on the CPU, sure.

[rotund hedge]

how does one do that? is there an example to look at? or where can i find documentation on how to do the gpu readback / write?

[silk schooner]

Hey, I'm trying to make a transition from Scene A to Scene B, with having a video scrolling by inbetween (see example below)

I was suggested to use SceneSwitcher Advanced, I did the following:

(Fade is just while setting it up).

The issue is that, before switching to the transition scene, it transition to the B scene (not cool)
Anyone have a tip how to fix that? (Or if there is a better way to do what i wanna do?)

Thanks!

[fervent marsh]

Seems like you'd have to do something like have a 'transition' scene... and then your transition sets up that scene to show the A scene on screen, the video and the B scene off to the right, switches to the transition scene, then scroll everything to the left until only the B scene is showing, and then transition to the B scene.

[silk schooner]

What would be the most convenient way to do?

(With what tool)

And I saw a browser transition plugin.
Do you know if it supports like, moving scenes "A" and "B" around?

[fervent marsh]

Probably advanced scene switcher (to set things up and actually switch scenes) + move transition (to do the actual movements of things)

Alas, never really played with browser transition (nor scene as transition or whatever that one is called)

[silk schooner]

When I was using advanced scene switcher, before jumping to the transition scene, it was jumping to the destination scene before going to the transition scen

[fervent marsh]

You'll definitely need a delay in there somewhere. If it would me, I'd set move transition to turn off the move filter when the move is done, and then trigger adv-ss to do the final scene change when that filter became not visible.

[warped void]

so my veadotube app is not showing up on my OBS what do I do

[silk schooner]

Adv-ss devided not to work anymore

I think I just cannot do what I would like to :(

[wispy loom]

The movement plug-in has "previous/current" scene references in drop downs which I haven't experimented with. Does that support in-app stingers without transparent videos?

[rotund ocean]

hey @silk schooner is this the kind of thing you wanted?
Just created it now using a windows application I made to animate stuff in OBS!

[silk schooner]

Hey, not really, I would like the video to slide after A, and B slide after the video (see example below)
#plugins-and-tools message

[rotund ocean]

Oh! I see yeah. I'll sure I could get that to work

[silk schooner]

Context: 2 scenes have different layout that are oscilloscopes (with the elements of the oscilloscope are replaced with useful information)
And so would like to create a new transition, where the viewer switch from screen left to screen right. (I made the video already) (I can export it if you want)

[untold jay]

@silk schooner Adv-ss should run on the latest obs-studio version, try installing it again if you don't see it in the Tools menu.

[silk schooner]

Nah adv-ss works, but bad :(

[untold jay]

@silk schooner Assume we have "scene 1" (scene we're transitioning from), "scene 2" (scene we're transitioning to), "media source" (video file you want to use).
Create "scene 3", add "scene 1", "scene 2" as Scene sources, add "media source".
Add a new Move filter to "scene 3" and configure it to move "scene 1" off-screen (say, 1920 pixels left).
Add another Move filter to "scene 3" and configure it to move "scene 1" back to center position.

Add a new Move filter to "scene 3" and configure it to move "scene 2" to center position.
Add another Move filter to "scene 3" and configure it to move "scene 2" back to off-screen (1920 pixels right).

Test the filters and verify they work.

[silk schooner]

Can I do that with Move? Or does it requires ADV-SS too?

[untold jay]

@silk schooner This does use the Move plugin, adv-ss might be useful to automate everything once it's configured, but for now (during troubleshooting), only the Move plugin and a few hotkeys are needed.

[rotund ocean]

@silk schooner This better? Hopefully you get the plugins working. I just saw your post and was bored, so wanted see if I could create it with my software.

[silk schooner]

YEAH

[silk schooner]

how can i get it? :)

[rotund ocean]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/stream-animate-realtime-motion-graphics.2101/ on the OBS forums. I can actually send you that animation I just made to import. Although maybe work out what's wrong with your current install/plugins first?

[silk schooner]

It's a crazy thing you made!

[rotund ocean]

Born from years ago being annoyed trying to make videos with transparency many years ago. There have been quite a few versions

might be overkill if thats the only animation you're trying to achieve

[silk schooner]

I fixed it by uninstalling all the previous plugins i installed.
Then I had to delete all my scenes and created them again

[silk schooner]

can I just use the plugin? Or does the software have to run too?

[rotund ocean]

my software doesn't use the move plugin.

[silk schooner]

k

[silk schooner]

For the first step, do I have to create a new Move Source in scene 3 filters?

[untold jay]

@silk schooner Yes, scenes 1 and 2 will be nested so that they can be moved.

[silk schooner]

I'm not sure where I can input scene sources in Move Source

sry, I'm trying my best :(

[untold jay]

@silk schooner Have you already nested scenes 1 and 2 in scene 3?

[silk schooner]

No

[untold jay]

That is required for them to appear in the dropdown list.

[silk schooner]

How do I nest scenes?

[untold jay]

@silk schooner Create scene 3, add a new Scene source to it, select "scene 1", OK. Add another Scene source, select "scene 2", OK.

[silk schooner]

oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oke

Thxxx 😭

[silk schooner]

Awesome I got it to work!

but so I can't scale it for every scenes?

[untold jay]

@silk schooner That sounds like a lot of effort. Might be possible to replace those nested scenes with source clone sources pointing at the origin scene and the destination scene, maybe? I'd rather see if I can use the software discussed previously.

[silk schooner]

(that's not terrible, I have a small amount of scenes (like 3) that would fit for that anyway)

[silk schooner]

The software looks really neat and super cool, but the only downside is that I would prefer destroying my brain and losing time on working on all in OBS plugin rather than using a software that is less lightweight

anyway, getting late (3am), goin 2 sleep, will finish that next week-end. Big huge thanks for the help, crazy awesome.

Anyone know how to get the #Move Plugin to "flip" and source when using the Move filter?

[untold jay]

@tardy schooner By flip, do you mean the equivalent of the Transform > Flip horizontal/vertical context menu?

[silk schooner]

Hey, do you want to just use Stream Elements sources (chat and everything) in OBS on MAC?
If so, you just have to use Browser Sources (I think that sometimes Browser Sources have to be installed separately, so check if you don't already have Browser Sources),
Then, get on the webpage of Stream Elements, create a new layout, put some stuff in it, then top-right it should give you a link, copy it and paste it in your browser source in OBS, and that's it.

[tardy schooner]

[late trench]

I need your ideas

I have recorded voiceover but I need to record the visual explanation via obs

is there a way or plugin to make the audio run once I start recording ?
so I can hear and sync my actions with that ?

is there a better way to do it even without OBS as video produce ?

[hallow vale]

If it were me, I would record what I need to but not worry about being exact in timing. You can edit the video to match your voiceover better

[late trench]

I see

but I'm lack of experience on that side

speically the faceless content Idk

[hallow vale]

I found editing very intimidating at first. I started out doing nothing but putting my recorded video in the timeline and then cutting it up. And I watched a lot of YT videos about it LOL

You can do it!

[late trench]

yep it does need practice , each time I do a video i feel like newbie

[hallow vale]

Me too!

[untold jay]

@tardy schooner Add a Move Source filter to the scene where the source you need to move resides, click "Get transform" in the filter properties dialog, copy the text to a notepad window, then right-click the source > Transform > Flip horizontal/vertical, click "Get transform" again, the value will be different. Now you can create 2 Move Source filters that will flip and un-flip it.

[late trench]

which is worse !

if my stream encoder is H264 and my source record H264

OR

stream H264 and source record H265 or AV1

I want to know if using the same algorithm has better results and less weight !

[carmine viper]

4. Install OBS Studio again from https://obsproject.com/

yes yes thank you boss

[rain ibex]

whats with the obs bot answer. i cant delete obs and se then all my scenes are gone

[fossil wyvern]

the bot answer was trigerred by me, and no uninstalling obs if done properly won't remove your scenes

[fossil wyvern]

!export
if you want to be safe, you can do a backup beforehand

[oblique yew]

To export OBS settings to back them up, go to Profile > Export (to export streaming/recording settings) and Scene Collection > Export (to export scenes).

[fossil wyvern]

(and you should regularly do backups)

[rain ibex]

i cant do backup its too big

[obsidian agate]

The “make sure User Settings is NOT selected” part is how you retain your scenes

[fossil wyvern]

yes you can

the way to do a backup that is described in the second bot's message I trigerred will only be a few megabytes in size at most

[obsidian agate]

Technically is has a different name now in the uninstaller. I believe its named “Scenes, Sources, etc” or something similar

[fossil wyvern]

actually if you're on win, can you check that and suggest a change to the factoid?

[rain ibex]

okay thats what i do often but never tried to get it back and fear it wont work

[fossil wyvern]

1 : check
2 : once again, uninstalling obs will not remove your settings

3 : if you're really too afraid, just get used to having the message on start

[rain ibex]

thank you very much will give it a try

[obsidian agate]

Will do, once im more awake, 🙂

[rain ibex]

how can i uninstall 3d effect, just saw there many new versions. i have 0.1.0

[obsidian agate]

should just be able to install the new version overtop of the old version using the installer app for it

[rain ibex]

i try this or better uninstall obs and se

[obsidian agate]

? why would you uninstall all of that just to update the 3D Effect plugin?

[rain ibex]

because it was suggested to my isue written abve

[obsidian agate]

then focus on that before dealing with 3D Effect

[rain ibex]

already downloaded

thats why i wanted to delete it and see if its good then

[rain ibex]

i cant backup se live its too big. any chnce to find out how much size is possible, how much the backup is actual ?

[fossil wyvern]

once again, you don't need to backup se.live, you just need to backup the scene collection

all your data is saved in the scene collection and the profile

[rain ibex]

sorry for misunderstanding

[fossil wyvern]

!export
this below is all that needs be done to backup your stuff in obs

[oblique yew]

To export OBS settings to back them up, go to Profile > Export (to export streaming/recording settings) and Scene Collection > Export (to export scenes).

[rain ibex]

this was written Close any instances of OBS
Uninstall SE.Live (Add/Remove Programs)

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[rain ibex]

so not uninstall se live ?

[fossil wyvern]

yes uninstall se.live

but you don't need to back it up before

because you won't lose any setting

[rain ibex]

okay

[fossil wyvern]

you just need to backup the scene collection and profile

[rain ibex]

i did

one question the differnce from se backup to export (profile, scenes) is if i dont delete necessary scene files or media files its full restorable with the import files ?

[fossil wyvern]

it sould

but unless you didn't follow the instructiosn, there won't be a difference in scenes/Sources

[rain ibex]

my way to understand the backup copys all data to cloud which is too big. the export style is good if it works the same , with only settings and configurations to the files

[fossil wyvern]

there is no cloud involved whatsoever

[rain ibex]

there is a se cloud for backup

[fossil wyvern]

that is up to SE to manage, and unrelated to OBS

[rain ibex]

i know but i try to figure out. wrote e mail to them i will inform if you like

[fossil wyvern]

I would not like

[rain ibex]

ok

[fossil wyvern]

and that's nothing against you

[rain ibex]

i understand

[fossil wyvern]

I just really don't care about whatev tf they do

[rain ibex]

i didnt know sorry just sit betwen hte chairs

[fossil wyvern]

if you want a way to backup your scene collection including stuff like assets, images, videos, I can give you a plugin that does that

the TL;DR of se.live is whatever it does, something else does it better and without breaking obs

[rain ibex]

tl dr ? yeah im interested to see your suggest

[fossil wyvern]

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

TL;DR == "too long didn't read"

[rain ibex]

okay so this is only for scenes and export profile still necessary. god idea

[fossil wyvern]

yes but it exports not just the SC file, but also packaged with all the assets afaik

[rain ibex]

i thank you a lot thats what i maybe needed all time because i have many difficult scenes and with that i can play and reduce with no problem to restore. will try it the next days, also reinstall of all, after my stream on thursday 🤣

Is there a way for OBS to end a recording and start a new one every time the output hits certain file size?
I do 8 hour long streams, and they are around 9 GB each.
I have been looking everywhere and can't find something like this.

[vale vine]

Obs does have file splitting based on size or time for recording

It "might" require using advanced output instead of simple, but not at pc currently to confirm

[untold jay]

@pearl hawk For your existing recordings, use mkvtoolnix gui, split by size, change output file extension to flv or mp4 if needed. For future recordings, use obs-studio's file splitting feature.

[pearl hawk]

omg thank you! couldn't find it until now

[untold jay]

@idle dagger This one.

[idle dagger]

okay i installed that only

is that all i need @untold jay

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Run obs-studio on both PCs, do you see "NDI(tm) source" when trying to add a new source in the Sources dock?

[idle dagger]

sorry cant screenshot the menu

i do not have distro showing under tools tab

[runic vessel]

How do i get rid of the yellow line around my game when im streaming

[idle dagger]

i would go to windows support this is for plugins

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Install this on both PCs: https://github.com/DistroAV/DistroAV/releases/tag/6.0.0

[idle dagger]

@untold jay

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Disable firewalls on both ends, close and reopen this properties window.

[idle dagger]

stream pc

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Now add a new NDI(tm) source on the second PC and see if there's anything on the list.

[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.

[idle dagger]

sadly nothing

i have not rebooted by the way. if you want me to or think that means nothing

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Are the PCs in the same LAN, are they able to ping each other and use SMB shares and such?

Some routers have "guest mode" where connected PCs have internet but can't interact with each other.

[idle dagger]

pretend im dumb and dont know how to do what your asking but yes they are on the same lan. i turned off wifi on both, both have the ethernet symbol as the internet

i have a ubiquiti settup and see both of them on the software aas hardware on the same network

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Run cmd, type ipconfig on both of them, then from one PC try pinging the other PC's LAN IP.

[idle dagger]

looks good?

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Run cmd on the other PC and type ping 192.168.1.116

[idle dagger]

READ THAT

[untold jay]

@idle dagger The PCs aren't allowed to see each other by the router.

[idle dagger]

MORE INFO caps*

does that sound weird as this was working no more than 3 days ago ?

[untold jay]

This is probably intentional, is this setup all yours, or someone else owns the router?

[idle dagger]

all mine, i dont even use the router by the provider

like when i say nothing has changed at all. i mean zero has changed

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Something is preventing pings from coming through. Could be router settings, or a firewall on either PC.

[idle dagger]

let me try again. if it persists then let me ask my cousin he does this part for a livving 1 sec

@untold jay working on it, how much longer do i have your amazing help for tongith ?

[untold jay]

@idle dagger I have nothing better to do, for now, I'm all yours.

[idle dagger]

this is on gaming pc

weird they dont have the same name no?

@untold jay

@untold jay so i do see it on the obs to obs end

[untold jay]

@idle daggerDo you get a video feed between obs-studio instances?

[idle dagger]

yes i do !

[untold jay]

@idle dagger What's next?

[idle dagger]

so i need to then i guess just get streamlabs to now see it

do you know the thing i need to download for streamlabs end?

[untold jay]

@idle dagger I think streamlabs desktop ships with the obs-ndi plugin, you should be able to run streamlabs desktop and see either "NDI(tm) source" or some mention of "distroav" when adding a new source.

[idle dagger]

so i see the computer name. but its not coming up correctly, this is the name it should be findint it as

it look slike its actually pulling the info the old way not the distrov way

[untold jay]

No, this is normal, it shows the PC's name, followed by the name you specify in the NDI output settings. Do you see video?

[idle dagger]

so i see no video. but in the past it shows the mimic of what i circled in red

when it shows the name of the pc thats if its using the ndi app to transfer the info

i hope that makes some sense

okay i made some headway

it says isntall newtek ndi tools

i am installing thi snow

we did it

i love you

can i tip u ?

[untold jay]

@idle dagger If you want to donate to someone, donate to sorayuki, the creator of obs-multi-rtmp and obs-ffmpeg-afilter. Or to obsproject. I would if I could. https://paypal.me/sorayuki0 https://obsproject.com/contribute

[idle dagger]

cool will do

ill dono to both

@untold jay how come you spend you time doing all this?

[untold jay]

@idle dagger I treat it as a puzzle game. Work with limited information and somewhat limited time to find out what broke and why, and how to fix it.

[idle dagger]

well i respect it

it worked haha

[untold jay]

I'm sure it's a lot less fun for the other party, but they usually don't complain.

[idle dagger]

is there a non monthly way to dono?

[untold jay]

@idle dagger Patreon allows unsubscribing immediately after subscribing, Paypal is one-time.

[idle dagger]

gotcha on it

thanks!

Anyone got a tip to make the move plugin animations look a little less jarring when scaling? The text here is an image where I simply change the scale up and down.

[wispy loom]

I'll be honest, that looks pretty smooth to me? But if I felt a move transition wasn't smooth, I would play around with tuning the duration and try different easing functions out, see what looks better.

[true epoch]

There's a couple of aliasing issues, most notable under the S of starting. Gonna try doing it in AE instead to see if I can get a bit of a cleaner effect.

[wispy loom]

Can you share your filter settings to get that effect? Maybe I can reproduce here and dig in.

Is it not a 3dEffect + Move Value? Or are you using the Scale filter?

[true epoch]

It is not, it is a simple transform change going from 1.0 scale to 1.1

[wispy loom]

One of those I applied the filters to the source itself (Text GDI+ 3) and the other to the scene it lives in. I'd recommend doing the latter and nesting that scene into the main scene

If you apply the filters to the source it might be "growing" out of its own transform bounds

[true epoch]

Hmm, that does look better. I am using an image instead of a text source tho.

[wispy loom]

It'll work vs an image

[true epoch]

I'll get back to you when I get to test it back home, thanks for the tip

[wispy loom]

Happy to help 🙂

Nested scenes for the win

Since a recent update to OBS, I'm finding that every day VLC media source is broadcasting a black screen. This macro worked last year and the year before, but now it doesn't work anymore. It's supposed to switch to another playlist when the screen goes black for 10 S. Used to work on older versions.

[amber sierra]

Hey guys I am new to obs. I am setting up 5 ptz cameras for our church. All is good but is there a way to adjust the PTZ cam position when the scene with that came is now live/in program mode.

also is there a plugin that aids in changing the color of the scene button and or a way to organize the scenes?

[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.

[past jackal]

Hello everyone! I am new to OBS Studio, I am coming from Restream. I am a podcaster for football and have guests on my podcasts everytime. They are on different devices in different locations. It is a different guest most times. What is the best way to make it easy for him and me to communicate and for the podcast to see both of us, similar to restream?

[spiral ruin]

vdo.ninja is a great solution

[thorn radish]

hello. help me please. I installed obs 31.01, installed the plugin, the "title" checkbox appears in the dock menu, multiple output, but there are no buttons themselves. there are only "scenes", "mixer", "settings", "input" and so on. I'm a beginner, can someone tell me what to do next? Thank you in advance

[marble hinge]

hey. Any pointers what to check when the streamlabs alert box is not making any sound? It all works fine in the streamlabs page, but in OBS no. The image and text pops up when testing but no audio incoming.

the source is correct

[carmine viper]

does it work in its own page? like if you just paste the URL in a web browser and send a test alert? you'll want to make sure the streamlabs page is muted to test this properly.

[marble hinge]

no the page is just white. I copied the widged url from the page. If i just go in streamlabs and open the alert box, everything is there and works well.

the url is not correct then?

[carmine viper]

not sure, but if it isn't working as you expect when testing in a web browser it also would not work in OBS.

streamlabs does have their own support you could reach out to if that is the case.

[marble hinge]

yeah. this is problematic. OBS doesn't have it's own alert box? would be so much easier :D

[carmine viper]

it does not, providing alerts is more of a service which OBS is not involved in.

[marble hinge]

alrighty. thank you ^_^

[cunning berry]

t 1 minute, then stop the youtube stream and, after a few seconds, stop the facebook stream. When I check the two destinations, only the youtube stream has appeared on the youtube channel. Facebook shows nothing. Does the free download support multizstreaming or should I pay the $5.xx/mo and get the paid version?

[spiral ruin]

free version/paid version of what app?

[cunning berry]

Aitum multistream

[spiral ruin]

!aitum
The Aitum Mulstistream plugin is 100% free to use. Aitum (the service) is different. If you are having issues with one or the other, you should head to Aitum support.

[oblique yew]

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

[obsidian agate]

I dont believe there is a paid version of Aitum Multistream

[cunning berry]

I will head to Aitum - thanks!

[vale vine]

They do have some pro plan thing

$50/yr

Aitum app

Oh multistream. Yea that's fully free

Streaming to FB is just flat jank AF and has been for years

[obsidian agate]

yup 😄

[silk schooner]

hey @untold jay, so the move stuff are working. How can I make that it's a transition please?

Is there a way to access crash logs as well?

I should try to force it I guess.

So I think this is an issue with the iOS Camera Plugin for OBS, but it could be something else. I only have the plugin active on my current scene layout (and Mic/Aux).
When I close out of OBS, it hangs on for a minute and exits. When I load it back up, I get this message.
It doesn't produce a crash report.

[late trench]

yo guys , I can multi-Stream with source record plugin isn't?

also streaming different scenes!?

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[late trench]

but I think this not 100% what I'm looking for

is it possible to add overlay for each output

[fossil wyvern]

I would advise using the aitum vertical-canvas and multistream plugins

[late trench]

aitum will just solve it for Short form stream

other plugins I think they don't have this option as they follow the main obs scene

[obsidian agate]

Aitum Multistream will handle streaming to multiple services just fine

[fossil wyvern]

to be clear, you want to stream more than two different video?

[late trench]

yes let's say you'd want to put specific overlay for output

[late trench]

yes but not with different overlay per output

[fossil wyvern]

I'd use the aitum vertical canvas plugin

[obsidian agate]

Set Vertical Canvas to have a horizontal resolution

[fossil wyvern]

which allows you to have two different canvases with two different video and output both at the same time

[late trench]

so this means just 2 platforms so far

[late trench]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

hence the question : do you neeed more than two different video

[late trench]

ah yes ofc

[fossil wyvern]

well no

not "of course"

if I ask it's because it's not obvious

[late trench]

so

[fossil wyvern]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/branch-output-streaming-recording-filter-for-source-scene.1987/

[late trench]

kick , YouTube, tiktok

parti

[fossil wyvern]

setup's gonna be more complex but check that one

[late trench]

that's 4 platforms

[late trench]

ok

[fossil wyvern]

yes but most people are fine with sending the same video to most if not all platforms

[late trench]

gotcha

and this will ofc need more encoding

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[late trench]

yep

[fossil wyvern]

can't use the same encoder on different video

[late trench]

logical
