@rugged geyser You typed ipconfig on the Windows PC, found your WAN IP, tried to ping that IP from from MacOS PC, succeeded, then enabled the websocket server in the Tools menu and tried to connect from the MacOS PC, is that correct?

@regal breach Hey sorry to interrupt you, but is there a version/way to get your Media Source Playlist to work on the Linux Flatpak version of OBS? People recommend to use the Flatpak version but I can't get neither your plugin or VLC Media Source to work with it

regal breach
#

I am only providing the releases that the obs plugin template provides

#

If you see a different obs plugin that works with flatpak, let me know and maybe i can use theirs as a reference

ashen yarrow
#

Oh that's unfortunate. I've tried all of the latest debs and they just install the non Flatpak version of obs and install the plugins there. I would try just drag and drop the plugins from that verison to the Flatpak, but I for the life of me cannot find their plugins folder

ashen yarrow

#

Hey can you check out this convo

#

Seems like there is a way to use the .deb files

ashen yarrow
#

Oooh okay I'll give it a whirl, thanks for your help!

#

My plugin is not on flathub, i dont even know about that

#

But if it is easy ill try sometime

Are there any addons for linux that allows for multi streaming with more then 2 canvises kind of like selive Multistreaming Canvases. Or it the only plugin that have this feature. Have looked around but not found anything thats why i ask

spiral ruin
mortal quail
#

Yeah only allows 2 sadly but thanks will have to make that work.

#

Are you wanting something that can do multiple canvases where each is a different resolution, or do you just want to put different stuff (like overlays) on each one?

hello Got a question about a plugin for obs that sensors live audio. I know it's been haulted in development. I've installed it but it doesn't show up in the filters panel when trying to manipulate it. Has anyone found a workaround to this and if so what did you do? I'm using an AMD GPU on windows. tried installing the gpu version didn't work nor did the cpu version. Oh, It's The Cleanstream plugin!

oblique yewBOT

#

so I Installed the zip file and not the installer that auto does it. My Solution was to find in youtube someone who managed to manually install the plugin via the file explorer after extracting everything out of the zip file.

carmine viper
#

whatever works I guess, I just ran the installer.

eternal cargo
#

As a side note I've marked the individual files so in the event it needs to be uninstalled for whatever reason I can do that too

Hi there, I only want to use the branch output plugin for recording separate sources as I have read mixed reviews about source record. Would it be best if i only utilize source record as I'm not gon multi-stream

obsidian agate
#

Branch output should be fine for local recordings. It doesnt have to be used for multi streaming

#

Same with Source Record (which also support multistreaming i believe)

upbeat glacier
#

Thank you! I struggled finding an online guide for branch output so hopefully I have set up the right settings

morning, is there a way to make OBS load a plugin that is inside OBS_PLUGINS_PATH before a equal plugin (same name and functionality) that is in /usr/lib64/obs-plugins ? Trying to solve https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/11984 and for now i managed to go removing vlc-video.so from /usr/lib64/obs-plugins, but it feels "hacky" and uncomfortable

wary escarp
#

OBS doesn't guarantee any loading order for plugins, consider it to be random. If you want this because you're changing code and want to replace the plugin, I'd advise just building the entirety of OBS and using that OBS build

vital gyro
#

I wanted to use the Tal Vocoder Plugin in Obs to change my Voice, when i select this plugin the Volume Level doesnt show any input but in the Tal Vocoder Interface in obs is also an Volume Meter but this one moves when i talk

harsh topaz
vital gyro
#

it exists as both VST2 and 3

mossy lintel
vital gyro
#

yes

mossy lintel
#

It varies from device you use. I've seen/had some of plugin/audio device combos which do not show active levelling when filter is in use.

vital gyro
#

i started a recording my voice wasnt on it

#

so nothing came out

carmine viper
mossy lintel
#

but if you turn off filter then it records?

mossy lintel
vital gyro
#

@mossy lintel yes after i turned it off it works

#

@mossy lintel was to Tal Vocoder in your short video vst 2 or 3 i think i have vst 2 but im not sure

mossy lintel
#

vst 2

#

plain .dll file placed into vst plugins folder.

vital gyro
#

where can i find that file

harsh topaz
mossy lintel
vital gyro
#

there i got it too but i cant find it in the install_TAL-Vocoder-2 zip

mossy lintel
#

It's in the root of archive: TAL-Vocoder-2-64.dll

vital gyro
#

so its has to be in vst plugin all by itself too

mossy lintel
#

it has to be in one of the folders where obs searches for vst plugins

#

Also, you could/may try to change input mode

image.png
vital gyro
#

if you mean that TAL-Vocoder-2-64.dll should be in the vst plugins thats already the case but i dont find the plain.dll

#

input mode change didnt worked btw

mossy lintel
#

It's not "plain.dll", but plain .dll file

#

like copy/paste, without install, just plain 😛

#

but if it's already there and shows up in obs then i'm out ideas

vital gyro
#

plain .dll can you show me where you found that when i ask somewhere else

#

and shall i ask

#

and where shall i ask

#

audio support

mossy lintel
#

Forget that plain .dll thing, it seems to confuse you. You need to have "TAL-Vocoder-2-64.dll" in vst plugins folder and that's it. And you seem to have it as your OBS finds it if you see plugin that window.

vital gyro
#

yes where can ask for more help

mossy lintel
#

you may try in #audio-support but you'd probably be sent back here as it is plugin related. Moreover, third party plugin. Try some other plugins and see how they act, is issue same or not.

vital gyro
#

i also use Gsnap this works

#

i try Graillon 2 next chat gpt said its an alternative

mossy lintel
#

Anyways, bed time for me.

#

does anyone know of a plugin for obs that can do focus peeking? a lot of video work requires manually adjusting focus, and external monitors for cameras often have a mode that highlights the parts of the image that are above some sharpness threshold so the camera operator knows whats in focus (since you can't reall tell on such a small screen). I'm experimenting with hdmi capture. tried searching for peeking and focus but didn't find anything, is there another website for obs plugins besides https://obsproject.com/forum/plugins/ ?

what-is-focus-peaking.png
spiral ruin
#

Not sure if that is even possible, as that is data sent via HDMI from the camera to compatible external monitors and recorders. A Capture card won't capture that. It can capture the 'unlcean hdmi output' which may show the focus peaking.

fervent marsh
#

I think their question was more "is there a plugin that will let me take a normal HDMI output and show focus peaking info", which should definitely be possible, but I don't know of anything that does it.

topaz scarab
#

well my camera wont do focus peaking over hdmi, so im looking for something that just uses the video signal and does its own analysis, preferably with tunable sharpness thresholds

#

the other thing i'm looking for is noise reduction, since I would assume my high end PC can do a better job than whatever processor is in my camera. same for recording quality, I can write a higher bitrate on my nvme drive than the cam can to its SD card

spiral ruin
#

best option will be an external monitor. Like I said, that data is discernible over HDMI, but a capture card won't capture it.

#

I just tested it with my cameras

topaz scarab
#

only the flagship canon cameras will show focus peaking over hdmi, and even then its not adjustable. external monitors do their own analysis, the camera isn't sending that data over hdmi.

spiral ruin
#

Right the hardware is doing the analysis, but all via HDMI

topaz scarab
#

those pro monitors also do recording, you wouldn't want the signal to have the highlights

spiral ruin
#

Or SDI

Interesting, but does it handle focus peaking

yes, its not mentioned there but on the github it is

austere merlin
#

Hi, Im looking for a way to automatically refresh all loaded scripts when OBS starts. Any solutions for this?

fossil wyvern
#

because by definition, loaded scripts get refreshed on scene collection load, so, a fortiori, on obs start

austere merlin
#

Currently, I have 2 scripts that works perfectly fine as long as I manually reload the scripts. Was thinking if there are any ways to automate this

fossil wyvern
#

there's no way that should be an intended part of a workflow

austere merlin
fossil wyvern
#

pop the scripts over in #scripting and I'll have a look at them (tho likely tomorrow, it's like 3 am here)

#

becuase yeah, you're also shit out of luck for a way to auto-reload, that's not a thing

quiet bramble
#

Sounds like an X-Y

#

Perhaps some kind of race condition, where the script is loaded and initialized and tries to do something with OBS before OBS is fully ready, or something like that.

@loud wedge just wanted to say I've only used ASS a handful times now and it's already making live easier, after wrapping my head around the config.

FYI I have set up (semi-)automated builds of it on COPR for Fedora:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tarulia/obs-studio-plugins/
If you happen to get requests for Fedora packages feel free to point them there 😄

#

☝️ I also tried building for OpenSUSE but the package names are different and I haven't gotten around to looking up the packages on SUSE. Generally it should work once those are found tho
edit:
Tried around for a bit but my build keeps failing because it installs the wrong GCC and I can't figure out why shrug

Client is using 28.0.0-beta1? Or the plugin itself is reliant on that release?

obsidian agate

Should probably give more specifics about the project and the technical reasons why you and/or the client needs a beta release of v28, when the current release is v31.0.3

quiet bramble
#

Yeah, it's going to be likely a pretty hard time trying to get an old unsupported build to work nowadays, and probably even harder to find someone who can help with any problems that arise. The bigger question that will come up, is "What is the reason for sticking to such an old release?" followed by trying to find solutions to get updated to a new release.

#

And I still use various releases all the way back to 26.x myself, but fortunately not having to build plugins for them. 😛

#

when someone has a plugin win-capture-audio.dll in their OBS logs and this message:

[win-capture-audio] Version 30.1.0 (9ee0c42)
is that the old one that used to come with OBS and is now deprecated? and could be causing issues when used with OBS 31.0.3?

carmine viper
#

it never came with OBS, that is a third party plugin. application audio capture sources are built into OBS and have been for some time, but that is a separate implementation from that plugin.

#

but yes, the plugin hasn't been maintained in years and has many known issues, I don't think anyone would recommend using it.

glacial haven
#

hm ok, the only plugin I found with that name has versions like "v2.2.3-beta" and is so old that it only mentions OBS 28.0, so I wonder where a "Version 30.1.0" of that plugin would come from

carmine viper
#

found from looking at the list of forks

glacial haven
#

ah. thanks, should have gotten this idea myself

glacial haven
#

hm, the user I got the log from posted the issue they had with my plugin 4 days ago, also this is for OBS 31.0.2, so I guess someone else created another "v2.2.4" compatible with 30.0 earlier. that's really a mess. anyway, I am quite sure that's the cause, since it's their audio capture that makes my plugin run into an exception when handling filter_audio with data it gets from it

oblique yewBOT

@gray berry

Certain games or applications will require OBS Studio to be run with elevated privileges (Administrator) in order to be captured. Running as administrator may also improve OBS performance when gaming.

To run as administrator, close OBS Studio, then simply right click the OBS Studio shortcut and select Run as administrator.

i have done that a couple times and when i do it just opens obs up and says the same thing

!conflicts @gray berry Got anything from the known conflicts list?

#

I'm wondering if there's a way to

Host overlays media locally

#

Instead of requesting them each time you open the obs

#

Like a hybrid solution.

I know that you can rebuild some overlays locally with streamerBot
But you'll need to have tons of Api endpoints

fossil wyvern
# late trench I'm wondering if there's a way to Host overlays media locally

if you're thinking of having an overlay hosted on an overlays ervice, like streamelements or streamlabs, use directly media files that are on your own filesystem, no. That's pretty much forbidden by CORS stuff for a variety of good reasons.

What you can do however, is create an overlay in as an html doc, and just load that as a local file. Don't need tstreamer.bot.

late trench
fossil wyvern
#

nope

late trench
#

I SEE

#

Does browser source has access to Websocket?

fossil wyvern
#

what do you mean by that?

late trench
#

Can I make a browser source(overlay) connect to that?

fossil wyvern
#

yeah, just for clarification obs-websockets and websockets are not exactly the same thing, don't use them interchangeably

#

and yes, you can, there's even JS libraries to simplify the process

late trench
#

That's could achieve my goals

#

Overlay Code online , and media locally triggered by Websocket

fossil wyvern
#

ok but why

late trench
#

Just needs one-time set-up

late trench
#

I'm not going to let obs wait for downloading them each time they need and overload my internet

fossil wyvern
#

yeah no, that part I understand

#

the part I don't is why you insist on having the overlay itself be remote

#

have everything local

late trench
#

Good question too , basically because there's 3rd party libraries that I can't have them locally

E.g it listen for stream events

fossil wyvern
#

wdym by "listen to stream events"?

late trench
#

If I have to give up their library, then I have to set-up my own Websocket and events

late trench
fossil wyvern
#

ofc you can

late trench
#

For example kicklet

fossil wyvern
#

oh kick idk nor do I care

late trench
#

Hahahah

#

i was avoiding mention that

fossil wyvern
#

but witth twitch, works pretty fine on a local browser source

late trench
fossil wyvern
#

don't doubt kick's incompetence might be muddying the waters tho

#

there's a few librariess yee

late trench
#

I see , so yep I'm in order to use their library so I'll use their Link.

In case I make it local it won't be so meaningful because I'll just recode

Trying to use Exeldro's Replay Buffer filter... but it doesn't seem to ever record to 10 seconds when I set the replay buffer on the filter to that.

In fact one of them doesn't even work (I am trying to do 2 replay filters rn with different hotkeys)

#

I think I finally got it to work with Replay2? But what confuses me is why it wont ever record to the 10 second limit... it just goes to like 1-6 seconds

fossil wyvern
#

show the encoding parameters?

fast fjord
#

where is that located? (been a while since I touched OBS)

fossil wyvern
#

same place?

#

just, like, bit below

fast fjord
fossil wyvern
#

set keyframe interval to 1 see if that helps with the timing thing

#

it won't even be precisely 10s, but with that it should be in the range of 8-9

harsh topaz
#

If they need 10 exactly, pass a custom parameter to nvenc that sets keyframe to 10-15

fossil wyvern
harsh topaz
#

I mean, I suppose. But its not super accurate with 60 keyframe interval. And if they want to edit the footage, having 60 keyframe interval is also annoying.

Should be able to set it as an interger and not seconds, bit silly imo /shrug.

#

I'm happy Pav (I think?) implemented passing the encoder custom parameters 😛

fast fjord
#

earlier it wasn't recording the replays at all... or saving it as the new name... until I reset OBS completely

harsh topaz
fast fjord
#

so why do I need the keyframe interval to 1 btw? if that even helped anything?

#

looks like it did though cause its set to 1 for that... and 12 second record and its 11 seconds per file rn

harsh topaz
#

Beware that the lower the keyint, the larger the file sizes though.

#

But for 10 second clips, this hardly matters much.

fossil wyvern
#

so smaller keyframe interval = more precision on the timing

fast fjord
#

so shouldn't 0 in theory be instant?

#

or is this one of those "0 means nothing" bs but "1 means shortest"

fossil wyvern
#

no, becuase 0 isn't 0, 0 is auto

harsh topaz
#

0 is it tries to auto detect it 😛

#

It shows on the text if you read it 🙂

fossil wyvern
harsh topaz
fossil wyvern
#

yeaaaah

fast fjord
#

well thats sick though... I can do multiple replay angles now like my ESPN+ internship at home.... now I just need a way to get multiple player POVs or cameras lmao

harsh topaz
fast fjord
#

oh that reminds me... do you guys use a Stream Deck to do replays? rn I am using F5 and F6 separately... and the "Filter" button is the only one that seems to reference the source record but it doesn't actually activate the replay buffer for me

harsh topaz
#

Replay buffer should always be running once you turn the filter on.

#

The hotkey should be for saving that replay buffer, whatever the length is.

fast fjord
#

but is there a way to activate a hotkey for saving the replay buffer using only a Stream Deck (that is not a keyboard key?)

harsh topaz
#

Technically, yes.. through websocket.

#

But then it gets a bit complicated.

#

At least that's all. I know of.

#

Easiest is definitely just to set an obscure key, like Alt 9 or something.

#

Then Set that in stream deck.

fast fjord
#

who made the Stream Deck OBS Plugin anyways? Exeldro or OBS directly?

harsh topaz
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fast fjord
#

cause im kind of surprised they dont just have a "Virtual Hotkey" action if they have Stream Deck support

#

cause when I convinced my ESPN+ internship to try using a Stream Deck for the first time... the 3Play or whatever professional setup they have... they have a way to just connect to a Stream Deck button action without using any keyboard keys at all... so I'd figure it is possible for OBS to do the same? (or to at least implement it..)

harsh topaz
#

Like it is technically possible to do

const replay_settings = await store.settings('replay_settings');
const contextName = this.#contextName(replay_settings['recording_sources'][index].name)
const res = await this.triggerHotkey('ReplayBuffer.Save', contextName);

But you gotta trigger the ReplayBuffer.Save through W-S, with a contextName for it.

fast fjord
# fast fjord

but in my case it'd be for Replay_1 and Replay_2 right?

harsh topaz
#

Think the WS code specifically is
'TriggerHotkeyByName', {"hotkeyName": hotkeyName, "contextName": contextName}

#

You'd have to mess with WS a bit - the context name is I believe the source - the filter name.

#

But don't quote me on that 😄

harsh topaz
#

The hotkey name would then be ReplayBuffer.Save and then the context name you string together depending on what source/filter it is you're trying to trigger.

fast fjord
harsh topaz
#

If you're trying to use OBS for professional use, and making tools for it - it's definitely a good idea to learn how WS works 😄

#

It's quite incredible for communicating with OBS 🙂

fast fjord
#

I can imagine that... but yeah never touched a Websocket before... just tried "Websocket Server" for the first time with an esports tool that can help do other stuff

#

but Websocket Server =/= WebSocket right?

harsh topaz
harsh topaz
#

You set up a server to respond to requests.

#

So you can connect to OBS, and talk to it in a sense.

#

You send requests, formatted in a specific way - and it gives you either information back, or fulfill requests if credentials match.

#

It's nice for third party for example controlling OBS.

#

Or getting information out of OBS 🙂

#

tt2468 did a lot of work on the plugin for it - that eventually made it in to become part of OBS default, because it's honestly just great ^^

#

Definitely worth looking into, if you're looking into learning about third party and OBS 🙂

fast fjord
#

tried googling some and not sure if I found one that I can mesh with yet

harsh topaz
#

I mean that depends on the language you're trying to learn doing things in. If you're doing javascript chatGPT was more than capable of explaining things in a way that worked and made sense for me. As long as you don't go "Make the whole thing", but ask it to explain concepts and how things work - I had no problems learning through it.

#

I know there's a lot of people that'll be against LLMs though. But I had great use of that.

They're not really perfect, I've seen some ai models like UVR5 they really do good in that part

IRL in noisy places, you are stuck with what you get. I think people are more forgiving of IRL streams with background noise because they can see you are in a noisy place.

But for the translation it has to be clear for correct results

#

Understandable.

There may be other noise suppression filters available as a VST plugin.

I'm sorry for your trouble. Assuming VoiceMeeter Banana is running on another PC, it should work well. I mainly tested between VoiceMeeter on Windows and VBAN plugin on Linux.
Would you check these items?

  • Is your firewall configured correctly? On the Windows running VBAN plugin, the incoming connection should be allowed. The default port is 6980/UDP.
  • You may left the stream name blank on VBAN Source plugin so that any name can be accepted. This might be helpful for debugging.

hi all, i've been trying to use the NVIDIA Background Removal filter in OBS 31.0.3 (Windows 11), and i’m consistently getting crashes when applying or removing the filter, even on simple sources like a solid color.

here are the details:

reproduction steps:

  1. add any video source (Camlink 4K camera or even just a color source)

  2. add the "Background Removal" effect filter (from NVIDIA SDK)

  3. observe: either immediate crash, or freeze on filter removal

additional notes: the plug-in worked in previous OBS versions, but seems unstable under 31.x. i’m not using any other NVIDIA SDK features (no audio effects, no AR SDK). tried in both full OBS and portable mode, same issue. i’d love to know if this is a known incompatibility with Qt6 or recent SDK changes — or if there’s a safer way to get this working in current builds. crash log pasted above. thanks!

@daring veldt

In case a plugin is causing issues, try opening OBS Studio in Safe Mode. This mode prevents plugins and the built-in WebSockets server from loading which can help you identify whether a plugin is causing issues for your setup.

  1. Click on the Help menu → Restart in Safe Mode
  2. When you are finished with safe mode, click on the Help menu → Restart in Normal Mode

hm, not sure working fine on my end so it must be some edge case. I do know that in the past, not having both the video and audio SDK installed caused issues for some so I'd try installing the audio SDK as well

@daring veldt

For testing purposes, you should create a new, empty scene collection. This will allow you to focus on the testing the specific sources that are suspected to have issues.

To create a new scene collection:
1. Click on the Scene Collection menu → New
2. Name the new collection "Testing"
3. In this new scene collection, add the sources that are suspected to have issues

Hello,

I tried to publish this on DaVinciResolve, but for some reason, my post got deleted, so I'm posting it here.

If you can't help me, redirect me to the place where I can find the solution.

I'm publishing YouTube videos of my Dota 2 gameplay.

I have Dotabod minimap blocker (https://dotabod.com/) that creates an illusion that the entire map is warded. This is used because people can't streamsnipe you and see where you have vision and where you don't. https://prnt.sc/ptdXREMPHi-g

However, there is a streamer who's also using it live, but when he publishes videos on Youtube, it's removed. Here's how it looks https://prnt.sc/cK9MXdWvzvV3

Can you please tell me how to remove the blocker/overlay so that the minimap looks just like in the game, so I can publish videos for my audience to see the minimap without any overlays?

Here's what I tried (Source Record plugin)

I tried to create an entire scene (everything the same, just without the Dotabod overlay (browser source)) and put the source record effect there.

I tried putting the source record effect just on Dota 2 (game capture).

The results are the same (see here https://www.mediafire.com/file/iv3hc25v6o49dvr/YoutubeVideos.mkv/file)

It's lagging, there are frames missed due to rendering and encoding lag.

I tried both CBR and QBR, but it's practically the same.

Here are my settings within the filter:
https://prnt.sc/1mv82Hy25B36
https://prnt.sc/jcmjRyBjjfgf
https://prnt.sc/L4l4o_PT03vR
https://prnt.sc/bXESfsTIL-uN

I used the same encoding settings that I have for my streaming (it works fine while streaming), but this isn't working.

This is what I got from ChatGPT:
https://prnt.sc/OHEDKuHflq8D
https://prnt.sc/w_SfN6ygzquJ
https://prnt.sc/7aCQtGWTFT3J

Finally, I have a separate scene that is intended just for recording, and I put the source record filter on the entire scene, but when I switch scenes, it records switching the scenes too

Can you tell me how to overcome this?

Thanks!

quiet bramble
#

You don't have to recreate a scene twice, you just have the bare scene once, record that, and have a second scene that nests that scene using Scene Source, and then puts the overlay on top of it. Source Record is on the original scene then so it does not have the overlay.

Something on OBS (either a filter or a source) is taking 20GB of ram.
Is there a way to easily know what is doing that?

#

The thing is, when I close OBS, it goes down directly, when disabling every source, it goes down slowly

But yeahg I can try that

Something could be leaking memory perhaps. Does it slowly increase over time on its own?

silk schooner

When everything is enabled yeah

My overall scene looks like this xd

But it's annoying, sometimes it doesn't increase

#

What is going on:
4 Browser sources, with 2 different web elements (with between 4 to 6 filters)
1 Plain color (with fitlers)
1 Media Source (with filters)

#

Ok it's not the shader causing that

The issue comes from the Browser Source source :/

#

uhh

quiet bramble
#

what is the browser source for?

silk schooner
#

Displaying the WELCOME

#

(also use one for the ... joined!)

#

It's pretty weird, because it's just an HTML page -> JavaScript only used to create a bunch of span elements in its wrapper, apply random color, size, scale, position, and attach to it the CSS animation, with random delay (all of that only when the page load)

#

It's so random :(

silk schooner
#

Any browser source with any file makes this issue

silk schooner
quiet bramble
#

Browser source is a heavy resource in general. If there is ever multiple ways to do something it is almost always better to do it without using browser source if possible.

silk schooner
#

ok

#

it's annoying <:(

#

It means I can't have super cool interactive stuff

#

Should I maybe use another solution to process browser sources?

quiet bramble
#

All web browsers use a lot of resources. What web pages give is a great convenience of everything HTML/CSS/JS etc. can do, but at the cost of loading an entire browser rendering engine and its overhead etc.

#

If it is for something simple like displaying text, it is a tonne of overhead for example. If some special text thing needs to be animated or have something fancy done to it, shaders/filters or other automation, or even LUA/python scripts can do a lot with minimal overhead.

silk schooner
quiet bramble
#

Are the web pages a 3rd party design or personal design? If you're a web developer you can investigate what on the page is causing problems and try to optimize it etc.

silk schooner
#

It really only do stuff on load

quiet bramble
#

I'm not certain the current overhead, but probably a few hundred megs per browser source I imagine plus whatever resources are allocated for images, js etc. which is typical of web pages in general.

silk schooner
#

It's weird that it's taking 20GB tho

quiet bramble
#

For one page?

silk schooner
#

4 browser sources

quiet bramble
#

Might try loading it in a web browser and using the integrated web development tools for debugging/memory monitoring etc.

silk schooner
#

I think that I'll just use VJ solutions

I have a friend who is into that, I'll ask her what's the most appropriate thing for my problem, will try to replicate my actual setup, and if it works will share the steps here.

What about trying also in Chrome, since the browser source in OBS is implemented with Google CEF which is chromium embedded.

Hello, I have been using the OBS Raw GetStreamStatus via obs websocket to get the current uptime to log timestamps. However when reviewing my notes I saw that the time stamps were desyneced by ~19 seconds. I brought this up to the people at StreamerBot and they said it might be an issue with the Websocket information being sent out. I was wondering if this might be a known issue or if there is any way I could fix it/bug report it. As the number recieved from the api does not patch the number displayed in the ui.

#

I'm unsure if this would be the best place to ask about this, so if there is a better location please let me know.

untold jay
#

@granite spindle Fetching it via obscommand is only behind by about 500 ms (most of which would likely be introduced by obscommand and my own typing speed), so it's probably not a bug in obs-websocket.

Mine's only about half a second behind, but 1.8 is probably still fine.

Yeah, this is just for taking a rough timestamp for reference later. Optimally it wouldn't be off at all, but 2 seconds is fine. Although previously the desync was 19 seconds ahead, now it's 2 seconds behind. That is concerning

# granite spindle Also would chapter marker allow me to add a lable to the marker? In case I want ...

Being able to note down thoughts in the moment and have them tied to a time stamp is pretty useful. Having the text based timestamps worked great because I could just leave myself empty space to manually edit text. Although I'm not seeing if obs recording chapter can have custom names or whatnot. Also just having all the data for a recording/streaming session in a single text file would be really convenient.

That's trivial to do. I have my sources slide around. It's quite easy if you know what to do.

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

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

it cut offs a second or so before it should be stopping

Isn't source record supposed to stop when you press the stop recording button? How are you ending the recording?

a second, or, a third of a second?

@harsh topaz Yes.

@onyx silo Game capture is almost always preferable due to better performance, but certain apps can prevent it from working, display capture always works.

display capture always works

The way you go about it:

  • Game Capture - Does it work? Perfect! if not:
  • Window Capture - Does it work? Great! if not:
  • Display Capture - Unfortunately, we got to use this. But does it work? Good.
untold jay

I've been wrestling this weird issue where display capture would begin losing frames inexplicably, dipping as low as 60-80 FPS sometimes. I ruled out as much as possible, installing an unmodified Windows 11 build (ew ew ew) and the latest unmodified obs-studio, same issue.

This is, of course, assuming that you can actually see it yourself with your eyes on your monitor. If not, then you're probably just screwed 🙂

Could you HDMI out and then HDMI into the same PC?

if you have an HDMI in, yes

#

which would be the case for a pcie capture card, and pretty much no other hardware I can think of

harsh topaz
#

Pipe your monitors output into the same PC and get the input from the capture card oh boy? lol

#

Any application that tries this hard to not be captured, you should probably consider not streaming anyway. Since there's probably other policies in place stating that they do not want the content captured 😛

open both clips in an editor, check how long precisely is missing

harsh topaz
fossil wyvern
#

well, same as recording vs replay buffer in obs?

#

unsure what you're asking tbh

harsh topaz
#

You were referring to _stopping signal before, and it not being an interval issue. Is that due to the difference in how Recording and Replay buffer works?

fossil wyvern
#

you're forced to start the video on a keyframe

#

you're not forced to end it on a keyframe

harsh topaz
#

Ah, actually thought you were. Interesting.

fossil wyvern
#

but the way that source record knows to stop its recording at the same time as the "main" recording, is that when you tell obs to stop an output, that output sends a stopping signal, then stops, then sends a stopped signal.
Source record uses the stopping, not the stopped, so stops before the main recording

#

and given the time necessary to stop the output, that difference can be a couple ms

harsh topaz

no, I mean compare the recording you did with the main record and the one you did with source record, check the difference between them

Don't stop it so quickly? Give your recording one more second seems like the prudent step to test.

or to do it faster, if the difference is in the range of a couple hundred miliseconds, you can't be more precise

@weak escarp A request, if you can find the time.

Source-toggler.lua script. Instead of having to group the sources into their own nested scene, the ability to Add a scene and define a filter for the sources that the toggle should apply to would be nice.

I know you could make a group and put the sources in there, but trying to steer clear of groups (for obvious reasons).

Don't know the level of complexity it would take, but a 2nd box under here that let's you put in a string that the source name must match. So you can name all your sources something unique and they're the only thing that gets counted in this "group" of sources for toggling.

Hey gang, anyone have any issues with the Multi-RTMP plugin stopping streaming to a particular destination, while the main destination still stays live? I frequently go out of town and leave a stream up of my bedroom, so I can still keep an eye on my cats while I'm gone. I have OBS set up to stream to Twitch and YouTube. Twitch is the main destination in OBS, with YouTube being streamed through the plugin. I've been using it for about a week now with no issues. But this last time I left, the YouTube stream died a few hours after starting, while the main Twitch stream has stayed up working fine. If anyone has any insight as to what could cause something like that, I'd really appreciate it. Not home yet to post logs or anything, just trying to get ahead of things a bit and figure it out so I don't have issues when I go back to play games or something. Thanks for your time

Like when I check it, it immeditatelly goes up :/

hallow vale
silk schooner
#

I hope we can fix that, cause I carve doing nice looking stuff, and my obs being broken makes me sad

#

I found it

#

So, this shader comes from OBS-ShaderFilter. It increasely fill up the memory when both radius steps and angle steps are at max

#

(it wasn't like that in my thing, this screenshot is jsut so you can see what's going on)

hallow vale
silk schooner
#

I believe it's because of that but I'm not sure.
It's weird that it's taking memory (and ram)
Weren't shaders supposed to run on gpu

image.png
#

GPU Memory is going up too, and when disabling sources, it doesn't look like going back down

#

I got it

#

Shaders do be running on the GPU, but something seems like not freeing its pointers like a gooboi, and it pass to the RAM once the VRAM is full

#

Even tho eventually RAM usage is going back down, GPU memory usage stays full

image.png
#

I think I'll try to rewrite my shaders to OBS-ShaderFilterPlus while the memory leak gets fixed

#

will make an issue on github

weak escarp
quiet bramble
#

I suspect that it isn't the shader plugin, but the source itself causing the issue.

silk schooner
#

What does GPU 3D means?

#

in task manager*

quiet bramble
#

The GPU shader cores

#

It's not totally accurate though due to the clock speed changing and whatnot. It's a ballpark

#

Was that big slope dropoff due to turning off the shader?

#

Because if that was one shader, that is super heavy shader using over 50% of the GPU. 🙂

silk schooner
#

ARGH I CANT REPRODUCE IT

#

I mean

#

I still have memory leaks

#

Wtf

#

It stopped leaking when I closed OBS Filter window??

#

Am losing my marbles

#

It's so weird, I think it's indeed the soruce (if so, I will be really sad and will cry right aboslutly now), but b4, memory was going up when I was clicking the button to enable a shader and it increased

#

I accused OBS-ShaderFilter for absolutly no reason, I'm a terrible being, sorry

It's browser sources

Depends on what it is - if it's third party it might be hard yea. I have no idea what you're adding sorry

#

Do you have same issues with the memory using the browser sources without the shaders?

silk schooner
#

It's just OBS Browser Source, with a very simple HTML page and CSS animations

silk schooner
#

But it's using GPU Memory

#

and I'm really sad

Appart from creating new elemnts once the page load

Html & css doesn't leak (to my knowledge).

silk schooner
#

My guess is that it's the browser source itself

#

40 of them runs perfectly on Firefox

#

and in OBS, 3 of them blasts my GPU and my RAM

harsh topaz
#

Unsure, I'm not immediately seeing anything that should be bad but I'm hardly an expert. Maybe someone else has a better idea sorry.

I'm so sad & desperate :(
I love to do cool looking stuff on OBS with shdaers and all, but I can't, cause it's broken D:

carmine viper
#

if this is only happening with this browser source that you have created I would at least consider there might be a change you need to make, regardless of how it performs in firefox.

silk schooner
#

It's really weird that, even when I deleqte the sources, delete the scenes, get on another scene, the GPU memory is still stalling (have to close OBS to free it)

quiet bramble
#

Probably going to need to narrow it down to a minimal reproducible test case.

#

Try commenting out all of the javascript so that it is doing nothing at all.

silk schooner
#

I'm so confused

#

I managed to make it skyrocket with one browser source and one shader

#

LOOK AT THAT

*I scaled this browser to 4k, but the exact same settings on a 4k image instead of a browser source makes it laggy, but doesn't destroy the memory

Because filling up the RAM, it fills up the VRAM (and it doesn't go back until OBS is closed, even after removing every sources)

Requirements: OBS (>= 31.0.3), OBS-ShaderFilter (>= 2.4.1)
Goal: Overloading GPU Memory -> It will start using RAM until RAM gets full as well.
Note, that in this issue, GPU Memory is never going down, even when disabling / deleteing sources, until OBS gets closed.

Preparation: Open the task manager, and go to the GPU section. The graph you want to look for is the Dedicated GPU memory usage.
Steps:

  • (In OBS,) Create a new Scene (for testing, it's not mandatory to have a clean scene).
  • Create a new Browser Source.
    • Check Local file and use the provided HTML file (it creates a text saying "Hello!", blinking in red).
    • Set Width to 3840 and Height to 2160 (for 4k).
  • Add a new User-defined shader (from OBS-ShaderFilter).
    • Check Load shader text from file, and use Bloom.shader, in the provided shaders by OBS-ShaderFilter (works with other shaders).
    • Set Angle Steps and Radius Steps to 20 (max).

Now, you should see the Dedicated GPU memory usage going up (that's normal). If it's going up too slow, you can duplicate the User-defined Shader (bloom), two or three times.
You can already try to disable the source (don't forget to close the filter window), and see if the GPU memory is going back down.
(Reactive the source,) Once GPU memory reaches its peak, the RAM should start to raise as well (if it does not, this issue doesn't occur on your current setup).
Eventually, the RAM will get filled, you probably want to hide the source (to stop the rising) / close OBS (since the GPU memory won't get freed until you do so).
