Lighting is crucial for any digital camera to work well. An improperly lit scene will generally look some degree of bad with digital cameras. Some much worse than others, in particular webcams. Lit up well though, even cheap cams can look decent.

[sudden girder]

Yes I'm trying my best with the small space I have

Literally an under stairs cupboard I'm trying to get a light above the webcam but the ceiling slopes (due to it being under the stairs)

[spiral ruin]

Could try light bars, behind the display. Those white walls would reflect a lot of it towards you.

[sudden girder]

Interesting do you have an example ?

[spiral ruin]

Sort of. One sec.

I have a colored light bulb in a lamp, behind my main display. At night I have it on as a contrast light. During the day, as you can see, it is less effective, but the blue light will reflect off the walls and cast onto me when on camera. First pic is light on. Second light off.

The shadow is from a floor lamp on the corner. A lot of daytime sunlight peaking in from behind the curtain to the left.

[sudden girder]

Looks good - do you not think I'd need more of a key light ? But I'd definitely like your idea for something behind me

[spiral ruin]

Let's move to #tech-talk as that is more appropriate than plugins

[sudden girder]

Agreed 👍🏻

[storm tusk]

any reason no support for au plugins?

and why vst2 and not 3

[carmine viper]

both supported with this plugin https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/atkaudio-plugin.2099/

[storm tusk]

ahh nice

wow its got au too

it found apple au plugins but some others it cant find the license

its on my end

not the plugin

all set

great tip

thanks

[vagrant minnow]

Lookin good, Harry Potter. 👍

[sudden girder]

Thanks very much

[buoyant flare]

can someone help me setup tts please

i have a baby newborn only a month old and its hard to pay attention to chat game and a baby please help

[queen sierra]

I feel like I've asked this question before, but i cant remember if i have, and if i did indeed ask, i cant remember the answer.

Is there a way (or plugin) that i can add something like a filter to just my gamecapture or windowcapture where it oberlays on just that?

[tired belfry]

Uh, source clone maybe?
What are you trying to do?

[fossil wyvern]

you want obss to display ssomething over the game itself?

[tired belfry]

Your not trying to do something like this are you? The game is behind the game but blurred and is only displaying because of the source clone of the game capture.

If your talking about stream overlays then that's a whole different thing, which can be achieved through the twitch dashboard (if using twitch) other then that you need third party software to do stream overlays

[quiet bramble]

You don't need a plugin for that. You can apply filters directly to sources or to scenes. Just put the filter on the game or window capture source. You can also use nested scenes via Scene Source.

[queen sierra]

Pretty much

[fossil wyvern]

like, on your own screen, not jus in obs or its output

[queen sierra]

No, in OBS/output

[fossil wyvern]

then yeah, just a nestted sscene or a filter

[queen sierra]

A filter woukd be nice. I just dont know which one

[fossil wyvern]

well, depends what you're trying to do exactly

[queen sierra]

Took a while to find a good example.

See the network TV logo? Something like that, but ONLY on specified Game Capture/Window Capture sources.

[fossil wyvern]

either nested scene or have it automatically show when the gc source shows

[queen sierra]

I never did learn how to do nests

[fossil wyvern]

put shi in a scene of ttheir own, putt that scene in your main scene

[queen sierra]

You mean like this

[untold jay]

!screenshot @queen sierra

[oblique yew]

@queen sierra

How to take a screenshot - http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/

[queen sierra]

... i didnt wanna risk moving the mouse xD

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[untold jay]

uuh

you had to move the mouse to open this menu

[queen sierra]

Any drawbacks? Like, resource intensive, HDR doesnt work, etc.

[fossil wyvern]

no?

itt's just nesting stuff

[untold jay]

You're overthinking it, this is exactly why nested scenes exist.

[analog arrow]

sup everyone. I'm just getting started with plugin development for OBS and I'm not sure if what I want to develop is a source or output plugin. Let's say that I want to zoom in the entire scene (doesn't matter which scene is active), including webcam, text, game, everything. Is this a source or output plugin? So I can read/search about the right topic

[untold jay]

@analog arrow This functionality is already present, in the form of the Crop/Pad filter which you can apply to any scene; a number of third party scripts implement it in a convenient manner:
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/zoom-to-mouse.1823/
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/zoom-and-follow.1051/
You can use them for reference.

[analog arrow]

do you know about any c++ reference? I'm gonna take a look in the sources you sent

[untold jay]

@analog arrow For compiling obs-studio:
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/getting-started-with-obs-studio-development
For developing a new C++ plugin:
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate
You can ask in #development if you need help with this.

[fossil wyvern]

iss there a reason you want to make this a plugin when it works as a script?

[analog arrow]

It was just an example, I have a lot of changes to do to the output

[fossil wyvern]

like what?

[analog arrow]

zoom out, render ads, hook up analytics, etc

scripts wont make the cut

[fossil wyvern]

unsure what part of this needs a plugin. Zooming out can be done the same, rendering ads just needs putting a relevant browsser source in, afaik analytics can be gotten from websockets

[analog arrow]

the idea is to make it works automagically

[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.

[fossil wyvern]

use adv-ss for any automation needs

[analog arrow]

but then the final user would have to setup everything, no?

[fossil wyvern]

if your goal is to have things setup automatially for an end user, it's imo better to run a program to set things up than bundle things in yet another plugin like that

almost every plugin I've seen that tries to "make setup simpler" for users is a big bloated mess

[analog arrow]

thats not the point, but as suggested by @untold jay I'll move the conversation to #development

[languid rivet]

Hey. Does anyone know whether in Advanced Scene Switcher, I can use a variable's data in a scene item selection? Eg. I have objects named OBJ1, OBJ2, OBJ3 etc. and want to be able to do "OBJ"+variable_data to select them

Oh I see it now ${Variable Name}

[timber swan]

I'm looking for free filters that I can use in OBS to alter my face. I am recording videos for YouTube where I talk about the philosophy guidebook I'm writing. I want to show my face but I want to hide my identity so it has to be filtered somehow. I want it to look good though. Can anyone advise me on how I should go about doing this?

[delicate stream]

Is anyone aware of a really cool looking giveaway tool, please?
I used Moobot, Nightbot, Social Ninja, and some other custom tools but I still cannot find something "2025 like".

[wary lake]

Hi everyone, I need some help with the Branch Output plugin for OBS. If I use my green screen and chroma key in OBS will it record it like that? Or will it record it with chroma key off? And if so is there a way to do that? So I can stream with chroma key filter on and have it record with chroma key filter off?

[rugged sierra]

hello guys, im french and i need help for modificat my setting ... somone can help ?

[oblique yew]

Welcome to the OBS community support channel. If you have a question, go ahead and ask it, and if someone is available to help they'll respond. Try to be detailed, and provide a log if you are having issues with streaming/recording (Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log). Please be patient if someone doesn't respond right away!

[hallow vale]

You will need to make a Source Clone, add the filters to it. Leave the original source without filters and use Branch Output on that Source

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-clone.1632/

[polar lava]

Hi there,
During Covid I've encoded a lot of my personal VHS into .mkv (in HEVC)

Now I'd like to cut and edit some parts

[wary lake]

Thank you!!

[polar lava]

Is is smth OBS can do ?

Or would you rather advice another software for that ?

[hallow vale]

!editors OBS doesn't edit, but there's some suggestions below

[oblique yew]

For a list of recommended post-production software, including video editors, see our list of Post Production Tools

[wary lake]

would the source clone (cam) go on a seperate scene or same scene just added source?

[hallow vale]

It can be anywhere you like. You can choose to add the branch output filter to a source or to a scene, whatever works for you.

[wary lake]

ah ok so original source will have no chroma key and branch output filter and source clone will have chromakey filter and that's it and I can make a new scene with just that source for the original and let the branch output source record that solely?

[hallow vale]

Correct!

[wary lake]

Ok perfect! Thank you!

[hallow vale]

YW!

[bitter grove]

how do you avoid the black screen when trying to do a reaction video to a movie or tv show?

[spiral ruin]

Don't try to capture protected content.

[bitter grove]

lots of people do reaction videos I'm trying to figure out how thats all im not trying to break the law

[spiral ruin]

Most TV and movie content provided by streaming services will have built-in protection from being captured. That's why you get a black screen.

[bitter grove]

yes i understand that i just dont understand how everyone else is doing this all over youtube. it has to be possible and i cant believe everyone is breaking the law doing it

[spiral ruin]

Don't know how "everyone" is doing it. Just because it is possible doesn't make it legal, And no one here will show you how to do that which is clearly breaking the content protection.

[bitter grove]

ok so clearly you don't know how its done so you can not help me with this thread. lost of these shows give gifts to these content creators so they obviouly dont have an issue with it

[spiral ruin]

Oh I have ideas. But I like membership in this community too. I'm not going to break the law for you

[grizzled orbit]

Just a small check in to see:
Are there any plugins that fully unlimit OBS's panel limitations and make the windows fully customizable?

I frequently hit issues where I cannot place my panels in the exact manner I'd like and their resize features/placements tend to lock after a certain point. This tends to me normally having issues where my preview window is a lot smaller than I'd like it to be.

[bitter grove]

i didnt ask for you to i just asked for advise in whatr seems like an standard question given the popularity of the content

[vapid charm]

Unless you can "hack QT" not really.

And you got the response you will get from anyone here.

Devs/Admins included.

[vapid charm]

@grizzled orbit for context

[grizzled orbit]

What is Hack QT?

[vapid charm]

QT is what's used for the UI stuff aka program window.

[grizzled orbit]

Ah so basically my preview window is kinda perminantely stuck at the size of a pea?

[vapid charm]

Yes and no.

Depends on your resolution and the number of docks you have open with their size.

[grizzled orbit]

I literally cant move or readjust any of my panels and further and it drives me insane and has for over a year

I have the standard OBS ones then my twitch panels, ads panel ect

[spiral ruin]

And the standard answer is you won't get help breaking content protection here. You're welcome to ask the moderators too.

[vapid charm]

Technically you can drag them onto one another and create tabs where you can still switch between them.

But if you need them all at once then you're sorta stuck with what you have.

[grizzled orbit]

I have the ones tabbed that are logical and that I dont actively have to touch while doing interactive streams which

doesnt include many of them

What Im stuck with versus something closer to what im hoping for

None of the top panels want to go under the preview window ever either, no matter what I do

[vapid charm]

Welcome to the shitshow that happens sometimes with docks

[quiet bramble]

You can drag and carefully drop docks on top of each other and they will stack in tabs, which is useful if you don't need to see both docks at the same time but want easy access to them. If you do want to see all docks at the same time, then you have to arrange them in the space there is.

[grizzled orbit]

Again, I have things tabbed

[vapid charm]

I know you can definitely resize them to where the preview isn't like that and I'm starting work and can't help arm unfortunately.

[quiet bramble]

The only other thing one can do is get a higher resolution display. More pixels == more real estate for OBS dock layout.

[grizzled orbit]

I cant resize any of my windows to be smaller

[quiet bramble]

Or disable the preview and open a full screen preview put on another display

Dems da options. 🙂

[grizzled orbit]

that is as small/compressed as the go size wise. I can make them larger for sure

But OBS blocks any further reduction

[quiet bramble]

Would have to custom edit the OBS source code to customize beyond what it allows in the UI.

[grizzled orbit]

Im already forced to use my second monitor for OBS due to being infected with the "Control Audio Via OBS" known bug where if ANYTHING is over my obs window, it completely shreds my alert audio

so sadly I cant move anything over to the other monitor until that bugs fixed

[quiet bramble]

Best number of monitors = number of monitors + 1

[grizzled orbit]

I hate having 2 monitors and never used them. I had to go out and buy a second monitor just for the OBS audio bug

and I already hate it LOL

[quiet bramble]

Sushidragon had 17 monitors last I seen his stream, I wonder what he's up to now.

[grizzled orbit]

Im very much so a 1 monitor girlie

Anything more than one is excessive but alas, the things I have to do to stop obs from destroying my chats ears

[quiet bramble]

I suppose a 108" 32k display would do a pretty good job also. 😛

[grizzled orbit]

Welp! At least I know Im stuck with the preview window staying the size it is. Was hoping that after over a year there was a better alternative for panel layout

Its minor and the audio bug is objectively worse so hoping its fixed soon

[quiet bramble]

Go a link to the bug report? I'm curious about the issue.

[grizzled orbit]

I was just told that it's a known/confirmed issue. #windows-support message

Someone mentioned a test build that needed testers but that they actually guessed not. So I've just been waiting to hear back.

Only happens when OBS is tabbed, minimized or something is ontop of it and you are using the "Control audio via obs" feature (which is my bread and butter)

[quiet bramble]

Quite a strange issue by the sound of it. Hopefully addressed in the next patch release though!

[grizzled orbit]

Yeah Im really hopeful. It randomly showed up for me the other day mid stream and completely destroyed everyones ears. Ever since then, its been a perminant issue and Ive had to use a second monitor to stop it

[radiant robin]

is there any pluggin to change window capture with a hotkey? (not game capture with hotkey, this do not capture apps, like steam, chrome, discord, or anything else )

[spiral ruin]

How many different non-game windows do you want to capture?

[radiant robin]

its not about how many, insteed of which one, lets say, i want to capture steam to show something, (press the hoykey) , and then open the calculator, and press the hoykey to show that, and so on... not specific windows or quantity.

just able to switch/change the foreground window with a hotkey

[vapid charm]

Do you have a streamdeck by chance?

[radiant robin]

No.

[vapid charm]

Do you have a new enough android/iPhone?

And I don't mean ipads either specifically.

[radiant robin]

im using two android tablets with android 14 with Macrodeck, but im looking for a solution/pluggin that can do this, i dont want to lose one of my already setup tablets to install streamdeck mobile.

[vapid charm]

There's a specific SD plugin I use that can do what you want.

But otherwise i unfortunately can't help.

[spiral ruin]

I was thinking of Touch Portal for the same thing.

[radiant robin]

how exactly those apps work? ( well i know i know how, ) but i mean , im looking for a pluggin for obs to change to the app that is active at the moment. it could be chrome, the calculator, or anything that is inthe foreground

not just set up 20 apps with window capture and change those with an app

[vapid charm]

You only need a singular window capture for my idea. Granted the windows are usually big enough not needing resizing but just a simple SD button tap to swap to foreground app.

[radiant robin]

how it is that SD has a pluggin that comunicate to obs to switch to foreground window but, obs do not have it native? 🤔

i guess it changes the .exe

for that "window capture"

[vapid charm]

Dev life is complicated like that.

Priorities change at time.

[spiral ruin]

Likely SD plugin does what Touch Portal does, that OBS doesn't. TP can follow events when app windows are in focus. OBS doesn't do that

[vapid charm]

Plus bugs.

[magic nebula]

What’s the difference between obs teleport and DistroAV? Do you need to have obs open on the gaming pc for distroAV? Looking to most likely have a dual pc set up in the future so was wondering. I know they are alternatives to each other, but what is the actual differences between the two?

[untold jay]

@magic nebula
> What’s the difference between obs teleport and DistroAV?
The latter is owned by Newtek, a company quick to send cease&desist to anyone trying to integrate their tools, while also pirating ffmpeg for their own convenience.
> Do you need to have obs open on the gaming pc for distroAV?
Yes, either obs-studio with obs-ndi, or "NDI tools".
> Looking to most likely have a dual pc set up in the future so was wondering
All software solutions degrade quality, use a single-PC setup if quality is more important than performance. Capture cards are an option, too, but mathematically lossless ones cost ~$300 (avermedia gc573, elgato 4k60pro mk2), $100 capture cards usually serve YUY2 at best, which is good but lossy.

[solar dust]

DistroAV relies on the NDI SDK/protocol which is owned by Newtek.

[carmine viper]

to add on to what was already said, I personally recommend a capture card if you are considering a dual-PC setup. involving your network can be messy and also still requires some work from the main PC which kind of defeats the point.

[magic nebula]

What sort of work?

Ah yeah I see. Nvm i missread. Hmm…

[magic nebula]

Thing is I had the obs plugin that makes every application have their own audio control in obs. Does a capture card keep that or does it all jumble it up in one big audio control interface?

Like will it be just “desktop audio” or will I still have control for game audio, obs audio, web audio, etc

[untold jay]

@magic nebula For that, you'd run obs-studio on the first PC, use application audio capture sources, then use audio monitoring to send that audio to the capture card's HDMI audio device.

[carmine viper]

you can send only audio through one of these networked solutions, much better than audio + video in my opinion.

[magic nebula]

Granted I guess I could run that on the streaming pc, now that I think about it

[carmine viper]

I assume they want them separate for recording/separating tracks.

[untold jay]

Or, you could use the obs-ndi plugin to send specific audio sources.

[magic nebula]

Well it was more like for example being able to reduce the game sound but not discord, for example

[magic nebula]

Yeah, so good capture cards are expensive, I see…hmm…

[carmine viper]

yeah understood, there are a few different software solutions for this where you could monitor the audio to the capture card if that is all it is for and you don't actually need them separated for recording to different tracks or something like that.

what Chiyo mentioned with monitoring them to the capture card in OBS would work fine, among other things.

[magic nebula]

Monitoring them to the capture card? Meaning…?

[carmine viper]

sending the audio to the capture card

[magic nebula]

Also does a capture card transmit audio? Like if I get a follow for example will it sound in my headset even if said headset is connected to my gaming pc and not streaming pc?

[magic nebula]

Ah, guess that answers that

[carmine viper]

no need to get into the technical details here though, this is all hypothetical the only important thing for you to know now is that it is all possible.

[magic nebula]

Okay

Busy now will see later

[magic nebula]

I see. I guess I could treat the entire pc as my game sound worst comes to worst. We’ll see. So a capture care is able to take the audio of a program on a pc and put it in obs in the other pc and not only just…the entire pc audio?

If so then a capture card might be worthwhile

[carmine viper]

yes

[magic nebula]

Gotcha

[carmine viper]

I just always advise against networked solutions for video like this, people always have issues and you're forcing your main PC to do the work to capture/send the video to the 2nd PC.

[untold jay]

@magic nebula A capture card exposes a virtual audio device, anything you play on it will be captured, so you can use audio monitoring from obs-studio or the audio repeater application from Muzychenko's virtual audio cable software. You can also use the obs-ndi plugin to send audio between PCs, this uses very few CPU resources.

You can set a very low frame rate on the sending PC to reduce CPU usage (don't go below 0.25 FPS, obs-studio becomes difficult to operate then).

[magic nebula]

Errr what’s this about framerate?

[carmine viper]

shouldn't really have anything to do with framerate afaik if you are just sending audio, you can add an NDI filter to whichever audio sources you want.

either way all hypothetical until you are actually doing any of this so no need to get into the weeds.

[magic nebula]

True

Any capture cards you two recommend?

[untold jay]

@magic nebula This is relevant if you use obs-ndi to send specific audio sources from the first PC as their own sources with their own volume bar.

[carmine viper]

hm with no other info given my generic recommendation is the elgato hd60x

[untold jay]

Anything in the $100 range should get you 1080p60 capture in yuy2, most people that come to #windows-support with issues bought stuff that's $30 or cheaper. I also heard the mirabox hsv325 delivers lossy 1080p60 without issues, not sure if it can do yuy2. If you want xrgb or i444 (lossless or near-lossless), I can name the avermedia gc573 and the elgato 4k60pro mk2, there may be some USB capture cards that do lossless as well, like the elgato 4k x. https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/23479175821069-Elgato-Game-Capture-4K-X-Supported-Resolutions-and-Frame-Rates

I would recommend PCIe over USB if that's an option for you (look for a free PCIe 4x slot below your GPU on the 2nd PC), using USB means that you're sharing USB bandwidth with other devices, it also means you're affected by whatever bugs your USB controller has. My B350 board was really bad in this regard, newly connected USB devices would hang for up to 30 seconds before they'd finally start working. Now it's better, only hangs for 2 to 10 seconds.

Also, both PCIe cards I mentioned do lossless 1080p240/1440p120/2160p60, whereas the elgato 4k x (USB) only does half of these frame rates with a 10 Gbps USB port if you want lossless capture, or one-quarter with a 5 Gbps USB port.

(This is not an issue if you're, say, gaming at 1440p120 and capturing at 1440p60, Windows can duplicate displays at different refresh rates, and as of the 20H1 windows update, this works well)

[magic nebula]

Guess I'll see

[magic nebula]

What's yuy2?

And yes I stream at 1080p 60fps

[magic nebula]

hmmmm.....the pcie....it only needs to be in the streaming pc, yes? Does it take up a slot that a gpu would or is it another slot? Or is it in the gaming pc...? Hmmm...

cause idk if that slot works on this pc, i tried using a 2nd gpu once....hmmm....

(this pc will be my streaming pc when I get a new pc as my gaming one)

[magic nebula]

okay probably not, most i see have very tiny slots

Like this one I found

[twilit karma]

Using the latest plugin-template, modified for DistroAV, after selecting the windows-ci-x64 preset, when I run Build-Windows.ps1, it complains "Build-Windows.ps1 requires CI environment". If I do $env:CI="whatever", the script works. Is there a step we are missing in the setup of our specific plugin: https://github.com/DistroAV/DistroAV ?

[untold jay]

A yuv 4:2:2 chroma subsampled pixel format. In practice, the quality loss should be unnoticeable in most games, so if you have no intention on capturing more than 1080p60 in the foreseeable future, this is fine too: https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/game-capture-hd60-x
Chroma subsampling has the worst effect on colored text (white/grey/black will not be affected), but since most 2D apps (web browsers, etc) use RGB antialiasing, they will be affected, unless you disable RGB antialiasing (Cleartype).

[untold jay]

Look at your 2nd PC's motherboard, see if there's a free 4x slot below the graphics card's 16x slot. They are distinguished by length.

[magic nebula]

Yeah thing is I have an oversized cpu cooler soooo I’ll see 😅

[clever cave]

Hi, I'm new here. I'm wondering if there's a plugin for OBS that blurs the camera's edge and creates a smooth transition to the gameplay source, like this?

[fossil wyvern]

!filters
just needs an alpha mask

[oblique yew]

You can fine-tune your video and audio sources using filters. To access Filters, you can either:

• click on the Filters button on the source toolbar
  OR
• right click on your source (or click the Gear icon next to an audio source) and select Filters

See the Filters Guide for more information on what filters are available and how they work.

[serene echo]

You can do that with the Advanced Masks filter.. make a rectangular filter, and then add feathering to blend it into the background.

[magic nebula]

Can you use an gaming pc when the capture card is internally in an aother pc that is off? Like say if it's in my streaming pc but my streaming pc is off? Because I learned yesterday that you have to plug both your gaming pc and monitor in an internal capture card, so I'm wondering.

[obsidian agate]

That would depend on the capture card i guess, but i believe most would require power on the capture card system

Or you could use an hdmi splitter and bypass the need for the pass through altogether

[magic nebula]

Hmmm....

Or I guess i could just get into the habit of having both on at the same time and close the 2nd monitor, idk

[untold jay]

@magic nebula If you use passthrough, maybe, but on PC this is not necessary, you can use display duplication.

[magic nebula]

passwhat now?

display duplication?

Do you mean when you open a 2nd monitor on the same pc?

I am confused but okay 😅

[carmine viper]

I just duplicate my display to my capture card instead of using passthrough

[magic nebula]

What’s this passthrough stuff you all are talking about?

[carmine viper]

I will say the same thing I did yesterday, you are getting into the weeds if you haven't even purchased a capture card yet and dealing with hypotheticals is no fun...the important thing to know is no, there is a way to configure it so you do not need to have your streaming PC on to use your gaming PC.

[cosmic dragon]

guys i want to be able to clip gameplay without recording how can i make it so i dont need to be recording just click a button and it records the screen before?

[oblique yew]

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

[summer viper]

Can anyone dm me the best way to multistream + recording on a stream pc with a 4k60 pro pcie? I'm a full time creator as stream vods are too pixelated even on the best obs settings with twitch/yt partner.

[oblique yew]

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

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

[summer viper]

I use that for Youtube, but everything is still pixelated

[wary lake]

Hello! If anyone can help me with just an audio setting with the branch output plugin. Using that with the goxlr are all audio settings supposed to be set to goxlr? or Are they supposed be set to master audio? cause I have it set to PC source, my console source are both master audio but cam is set with goxlr (cause it wasn't recording my voice before that) I'm just trying to get it where if i'm playing music (which is currently seperated to track 2 so in vods it doesn't save music) but the music gets saved in the recordings with the current settings. Is there a way to seperate it so it records what it needs to (pc source, gaming source) but not the music. I know the Cam doesn't have the music in the recording and that is set to goxlr but I just don't want to change it without getting some feedback and then the pc game or source or game console source doesn't record cause I changed it.

^very sorry for the long post

[hallow vale]

If you want the GoXLR to handle all your audio mixing, set up two mixes, one is all the sound you want in a stream+music, one is all the sound - the music. But you'll need to spend some time learning how the GoXLR software works

Other option is you could use OBS itself to capture the sources individually, and assign them to the regular stream track and the VOD track. Two bot commands coming down below for that.

!ac

[oblique yew]

To capture only audio from specific programs:

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

[hallow vale]

!tvt

[oblique yew]

Twitch streamers can send a different audio feed to the live stream than to the VOD. To set this up, follow the Twitch VOD Track Guide.

[wary lake]

So in GOXLR and OBS I do have set up where the music that is played (let's say through spotify) isn't saved in the VODs it is separate in that regard so only stream hears it live but I noticed it got picked up in recordings and I think it's the way I have my Branch output audio settings set. Let me send a screenshot as well. Also
You've been really helpful just want to thank you for responding with my questions everytime

So is there a certain way I should change the branch output audio setting so it doesn't pick up the music but just from the source the filter is on?

[hallow vale]

Are you using this Branch Output filter to send a stream to Twitch?

[wary lake]

no just recording source

is there a way to check that? I see stream recording checked but that was default

[hallow vale]

So you do not want the music in this recording?

[wary lake]

yeah no music from my music source in goxlr

[hallow vale]

Okay, so this recording uses the source Master Audio. Make sure Master Audio doesn't have the music in it. Or choose a different source.

[wary lake]

ok I think i'm understanding because master audio is set to track 1 which has the music because it's streaming where as I have the twitch vod track setup with track 2 so If I don't want music do I set to goxlr even if the goxlr is playing the music or do I choose master audio and under audio track put track 2 since that's the vod track that doesn't include the music?

[hallow vale]

Yes, if track 2 doesn't have the music, choose that in branch output

[wary lake]

awesome! Is there a way to test the recording of the branchoutput plugin without streaming

just to make sure i did it correctly without going live first

[wary lake]

It worked! Thank you!

[hallow vale]

Great!

[primal hornet]

hello guys , i want to put my ios obs camera tu the obs studio in windows but device its not regonzise , i cant see it

[knotty eagle]

Hello how do y'all make the transition like switching screens, I forgot

[obsidian agate]

Using the Transitions dock from the Docks menu

You can also get plugins that expand the transition options, such as : Transition Table, Scene as Transition, Move Plugin (includes a Move transition), and a few others

[glass canyon]

Are there any mouse input overlays that aren't complete garbage? I feel like I'm going crazy looking for something

just something basic like this but you know without an actual mouse image and preferably a download page in english

honestly ima just do it myself in powershell ill put it here if I dont rage quit

[glass kernel]

Does anyone that uses scoreboard+ know how to have your scores can have a vertical slide when the scores change (kinda like a slot machine instead of having a constant velocity is the best way i can explain how i want the animation to go)

I think it’ll be more fun than having the score immediately change from 0 to 1

[glass kernel]

Tried using move source plugin but i’m getting nowhere

[obsidian agate]

For drawing over top of the scene?

[glass canyon]

i want an overlay that shows my mouse input

and not the silly nonsense we currently have like pointing an arrow or filling up a circle, i want it to show the captured mouse points

i got this far and then got tilted at powershell, taking a break

[rotund carbon]

Would anyone know why my plugin to capture right eye only isn’t doing that? I have it selected in my sources but it is still displaying both eyes separately

not sure what is wrong here

[glass canyon]

https://pastebin.com/5gSa8fVm
fucking boom

i haven't even READ this code so its at your own risk. praise to the ai conglomerate

[fossil wyvern]

do not at any point execute code straight from a LLM especially for bloody powershell....

[glass canyon]

powershell is their native language I just ctrl-a ctrl-c ctrl-a ctrl-v right click run

works most of the time

[fossil wyvern]

yeah and thatt's en,tirely stupid and irresponsible

[glass canyon]

yea so was going to the moon

[fossil wyvern]

no?

[glass canyon]

ill take my medal once you have it made

enjoy the software that did not exist until this moment

[fossil wyvern]

mate LLMs outputs are a known attack vector

[glass canyon]

lol

[fossil wyvern]

educate yourself
https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2025/04/12/ai_code_suggestions_sabotage_supply_chain/

[spiral ruin]

🤦‍♂️

[fossil wyvern]

like once again, it's something that has already repeatedly happened

[glass canyon]

Concerntrolling

[fossil wyvern]

do not, at any point execute the direct output of a LLM without validating it first

it's just basic typosquatting mate

[glass canyon]

In the equivalent of a hello world script

[fossil wyvern]

no, it's a base safety principle

[glass canyon]

Does not apply to me in this scenario

And whether or not an llm made the code or me has no effect on you

[fossil wyvern]

the fact that you advise people to run a code that you have not verified is severly irresponsible

[glass canyon]

I didnt advise anyone to do anything

[fossil wyvern]

oh we're full in the bad faith part now, cool, have a good day then

[rotund carbon]

Would anyone know why my plugin to capture right eye only isn’t doing that? I have it selected in my sources but it is still displaying both eyes separately

[chilly wagon]

how do i swap from obs 32bits to obs 64bits

[vale vine]

!download grab the current installer and run it

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio can be downloaded:

• directly from the official OBS Project website: https://obsproject.com/download
• Microsoft Store (Windows)
• Steam (Windows, macOS)
• Flathub (Linux)

[untold jay]

@rotund carbon I'd use the SteamVR projector instead.

[rotund carbon]

How does that work versus PcLink? I just usually launch the pc link so idk much about anything else

[untold jay]

@rotund carbon Hm, dunno. I only know about SteamVR compatible headsets.

[rotund carbon]

I use the quest 3, which I assume would be

I just know nothing about this stuff

[rotund carbon]

Isn’t steamVR unstable as well?

[untold jay]

@rotund carbon I don't know much about facebook's headsets and whether they're compatible with SteamVR, but headsets explicitly marked as SteamVR compatible should be perfectly stable with it.

[topaz vine]

is there a plugin to multi stream?

[carmine viper]

!multistream @topaz vine

[oblique yew]

@topaz vine

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

[topaz vine]

thank man

[pulsar zenith]

umb question, is there a widget to split the live viewer count to be on 2 different URLs? I'm trying to split my Twitch n YouTube chat n like to add a live viewer count on each chat box overlay.

[dark sapphire]

you can add the browser source to the scene twice then crop each to cut out the other count

[pulsar zenith]

crop it huh. wonder how i set it so it dosent rescale the image source so it crops

[hallow vale]

!crop Here you go

[oblique yew]

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

[pulsar zenith]

ahh okay.

been building my screen layout from a kit i bought. currently I'm to this point. twitch chat will be on left and youtube chat on the right. what u think?

been trying to fid good stock logog to identify each but nlt much luck sadly

[frigid flame]

how do i make it so there is a vertical view of my stream

[stark narwhal]

For just one location you can set the canvas resolution to a vertical one like 1080x1920

For multiple locations and none vertical streaming perhaps a combination of aitum multistream und aitum vertical

Hello, how are you?
How can I customize and make obs virtual camera?

[hallow vale]

!vcamplaceholder The OBS virtual camera is built in to OBS, no need for plugins or making anything. You can customize the placeholder picture that shows when the vcam hasn't been started 👇

[oblique yew]

To use a custom OBS virtual camera placeholder image (shown when cam output is off), simply create/replace placeholder.png with an image of your choice (1920x1080 in PNG format). The image needs to be saved to the following location:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\win-dshow
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugin_config/mac-virtualcam/
• Linux: Not supported, the virtual camera "turns off" when not in use

[wise palm]

How much of a pain would it be, to setup a little Music Player display thing that displays your Suno Music?

[wise palm]

Like is this one of those things that's pretty easy and it's just a matter of a million mouse clicks, or is this one of those "Sure bro, just code the whole thing yourself, no biggie" kinda things?

[tired belfry]

I would think cropping a window capture of suno to only show the media bar would be the easiest way

[wintry wedge]

For Adv SS, does anyone know if the Twitch connection option. Generates any variables that can be referenced? Or does anyone know of a way to use it's own websocket to receive direct commands?

I haven't been able to find anything regarding using vendor request, through the main OBS websocket.
So I'm curious if any of the other two things mentioned above, may be an option as a work around?

[harsh topaz]

You can see any variables you set in the variables tab. Depending on what you set in condition you can set a variable to contain the returned information then check the variable tabs to see what was returned.

hi im using the latest version of the source record plugin for obs I wanted to use the Source Record plugin to record my window capture without the overlays being recorded. But I watched some tutorials, and the latest version looks a bit different from all the previous ones. Now I’m not really sure how to record just the scenes without the overlays with this plugin."

[dusky basin]

where are you getting stuck

[vital gyro]

i dont know how i can hide overlays in my recording im at the start basically

[dusky basin]

well you install the source record plugin (there's another one too but I haven't used it) and then you add it as a filter to the thing you want to record separately

[vital gyro]

no how can i just record gameplay nothing else thats my goal and of course i already installed it
What do I need to activate in the plugin so that I only record the gameplay

[dusky basin]

just like I said

you add a filter to your gameplay source, and then it records that source only

the filter is how you do it

[vital gyro]

then it doesnt work for me i tried the overlay still shows

[dusky basin]

then you added the filter to the wrong thing

show me screenshot of how you set it up

[dusky basin]

here

I have here a scene with my capture card (Blackmagic Device) and an overlay (the text)

if I want to record the capture card separately, I add the Source Record filter to it

and then you can see in there that it records without the overlay

[silk schooner]

Hey, do you think it would be possible to send the video / audio output of both current and previous scenes to an external program for a transition?

[dusky basin]

I haven't heard of anything that does that, so I'm gonna say no

what are you trying to achieve?

[vital gyro]

you see that in the middle of my recording this app and all that is related to it i dont want it in my recordings

[dusky basin]

what source are you wanting to record, the "window capture lol"?

[silk schooner]

being able to make better transitions, in a 3D environment for example

[vital gyro]

yes

[dusky basin]

which I just realised is League of Legends, not Laughing out Loud

[vital gyro]

yes its the bad one

[dusky basin]

ah, no I don't think there's a way to do that right now

[vital gyro]

damn but thanks

[dusky basin]

not you

[dusky basin]

ok so right-click that source and choose Filters

and add the source record filter there

[silk schooner]

when I'll have free time, I'll look into plugin development then.

[vital gyro]

@dusky basin i have

[silk schooner]

thanks @dusky basin for the info tho :D

[dusky basin]

then you did it right in principle, is the result not what you expected?

[vital gyro]

no it still shows that app

[dusky basin]

what app?

[dusky basin]

ah, that seems to be rendering as part of the game so OBS captures it as part of your window capture

which means there's no way to record without it

[vital gyro]

yeah i thought this plugin might help damn

still thanks

[dusky basin]

no, for the record the source record plugin is to record something separately that you put stuff on top of in OBS

so you can record for example your gameplay without your facecam in it

[lean notch]

OBS Studio contains a virtual camera that allows you to output your scenes' video to application such as Discord, Skype, etc. To learn how to use this feature, see the following guides:

• Virtual Camera Guide for basic setup instructions
• Video Call Streaming Tutorial to set up virtual audio in addition to video
• Virtual Camera Troubleshooting for installation and removal instructions

[elfin geyser]

thanks

[wintry wedge]

I tried this last night after seeing your reply, I couldn't really get anything to work. Not sure if I was missing something or if it's not as intuitive to use.

But my attempt with the macro, was to use extract json field with name "user_name" for example or even "username".

With the variable behavior, set to save value.

But nothing seems to return. Would you be open to demoing an example for say a Twitch chat message?

The person I'm trying to help needs it for another event. But I'm testing it with chat to see if I can get it to work as intended!

[wintry wedge]

I would imagine maybe NDI? Or something like SpoutV2 + the Audio Monitor Plugin with a VB Cable could allow for that. But I'm not 100% certain, and could be misunderstanding part of idea

[azure maple]

Is there a plug-in that can be used to blur parts of a screen? I am trying to fake a camera adjusting its focal point by becoming blurry and unblurring once focused

[void egret]

anyone know how to use downstream keyer?
i click the scene, click add, click on the downstream keyer, but the item won't stay toggled on? tried several different ways.
i want to have multiple on at the same time. currently setting them up under a different dks for each since i can't toggle all on on the same dks.

ping me for replies please.

also, if anyone knows uses for output source, please let me know.

[weak escarp]

In each tab a single scene can be active. Other way to do it is nest the scenes in a single dsk scene. A use for output source is putting an effect filter on the output or scale the output to put something next to it.

[dim crest]

Is there a plugin that blurs your background? And not the one that just blacks it out

[quiet bramble]

If you have an NVIDIA RTX card, NVIDIA's RTX Broadcast software has that feature IIRC. If not, search the OBS Resources forum for "blur"

[dim crest]

Thank you. I googled it and found something that'll work for rn. 💜

[void egret]

thank you so much.
so what gets defined in the channels? sources and source clones? I see a lot of numbers, but no names.

[modern oriole]

I hope this is the right place to ask, does anyone know if it's possible to use AHK with obs so that when I press and hold a button, it shows a source but as soon as that key is let go, it hides it?

[dusky basin]

not directly I don't think

if you use a streamdeck with Companion (instead of the streamdeck software) you could do it with that though

and in obs if you assign the same hotkey to show/hide a source, it becomes a toggle so you just press it twice instead of holding

[tight igloo]

Hey all maybe not the right place to ask but is it possible to save different streaming locations, as in URLs and keys and easily select a different Channel to stream to within OBS or a plugin that can work inside of OBS?

[dusky basin]

that's what profiles are for

[tight igloo]

Thought I was being stupid… 😂 thanks

It’s been a while

[slim wadi]

im new can someone help me

[modern oriole]

It needs to be "N & M" sadly as it's for when I speak in game / on the radio, the overlay is to show I am speaking "in character" so needs to only be on when those buttons are pressed

[dusky basin]

ah so you're combining it with ptt basically?

[modern oriole]

yes! but sadly obs doesn't have that, only toggle for sources

hense why im trying to get ahk to assist but idk how xD

[dusky basin]

indeed

unfortunately I've never used AHK so I can't say much about it

though again this is easy with companion and a supported surface (like a streamdeck)

[modern oriole]

yeah, I have one but once I have my mind set on something thats it xD

[dusky basin]

I'm thinking if maybe you can use AHK to send a MIDI signal through a loopback MIDI device (software you can download), which you can then use companion to listen to and tell OBS to show/hide sources

[modern oriole]

We managed to sort it so it was working on its own script, but at times would get stuck being visible

[dusky basin]

if you use streamer.bot it can also handle midi it seems

[modern oriole]

ooh ill check it out thank you

[dusky basin]

so you'd be using MIDI to connect AHK and streamer.bot, and then use streamer.bot to tell OBS (using obs-websocket) to show/hide sources based on the MIDI message you have AHK send, which would be different for key down vs key up

oh hold up

https://github.com/5ony/OBSWebSocketAHK

apparently you can just use AHK and obs-websocket directly, that would de-kludgify the situation substantially

a bit more involved in terms of writing code it seems though

[frank barn]

can be done easier with advanced scene switcher

[untold jay]

@modern oriole You can bind keys F13 through F24, obs-studio recognizes them in Settings>Hotkeys. With Autohotkey, you could have a macro that goes something like:

~m & n::F20
~n & m::F20

[void egret]

ahk is possible, streamerbot only has key press unless u can code a lil c# then u could wrap it in sb, but ahk can do the same w/ code. so it's preference at that point

[modern oriole]

I’m not gunna lie I don’t know most of what you just typed hahaha, I don’t know how auto hotkey works in the slightest, nor do I know code/script words 🥲

[dusky basin]

I just realised an easy solution would probably be to just have autohotkey listen to the keydown/keyup events for the keys you want, and then send different keys to obs

so for example M keydown -> F20, M keyup -> F21

and then in OBS set F20 to show it and F21 to hide it

[modern oriole]

I have code and it works, but it gets stuck sometimes if I like press my key too quick, because of the delay in the script

Why does obs have to use a different bind?

[dusky basin]

because OBS only works on key down, and doesn't have any event for key up

[odd hinge]

hi, wie kann eine scene die ich im elgato shop heruntergeladen habe obs anzeigen lassen ?

[dusky basin]

though I guess if neither AHK or OBS prevent other apps from getting the key events, you could set OBS to listen to M (to show) and AHK to send F20 to hide, and then in OBS set F20 to hide the source

[modern oriole]

That't what I've done for obs, and I have the ahk code which basically sends the output twice but with a delay

[dusky basin]

if you send the same thing twice you run the risk of desynchronising

if one of the inputs is lost for whatever reason your toggle is now inverted

[modern oriole]

yeah which I have experienced

[young hornet]

Would there be a kind of plugin that would brighten the background but keep things like my hotbar untouched?

I've tried various effects both within and outside of OBS and usually ended up with something like this. Darkness becomes good but the light stuff ends up becoming blinding.

[modern oriole]

so this isn't right but is it hotkey I want?

[chilly sandal]

what would i need to do to get my new followers subs donations etc to pop up in my streams

[modern oriole]

Anything like streamelements, streamlabs, mix it up

[frank barn]

Enable "else actions" icon at the bottom right corner and move hide action to that section

[modern oriole]

like this?

[frank barn]

yes, remove this condition tho

[modern oriole]

But if I do that, will it hide if I release those buttons?

[frank barn]

yes

[modern oriole]

how do I actually bind it to the N and M?

[frank barn]

in obs hotkey settings

[modern oriole]

That's what I've done, but it doesn't hide it upon release, only toggle

[frank barn]

unbind those and look for the hotkey entry which you've named as "N"

[modern oriole]

omg thank youuuuu

[modern oriole]

Last thing I promise, is there a way to lower the delay? or is that just expected?

[wanton phoenix]

hey i got this crash report can someonr help

https://obsproject.com/logs/zqLDAG3ch0fwoK9f

[hallow vale]

Are you asking about stream delay or something else?

[untold jay]

@wanton phoenix This one seems to have crashed when trying to load the next video in a playlist in a media source.

[modern oriole]

Something else, about the hotkey conversation above

[hallow vale]

Is there a lot of delay for the hotkey to activate the source in the OBS preview?

[untold jay]

@modern oriole Could you describe what you're trying to do again?

[modern oriole]

A noticeable one but bearable if there’s is no fix haha

[modern oriole]

Someone has already helped me with my initial request 🙏🏻 they’ve helped me set it up so that when I press my mouse side buttons (which is my voice chat binds for game) a source appears, and when I let go of the buttons it hides. There’s now just a little delay which I fear is due to how my pc hates me and lags 😂

[modern oriole]

Thank you!!

[fierce wagon]

I've been using Obs Teleport for years. It's been working great. My modem from my ISP fried and I had to purchase a new one from Walmart. Ever since I got this new modem. My Stream PC doesn't detect my Main PC anymore. I've tried for hours messing with the firewall and opening ports and stuff. HELP 😦

[untold jay]

@fierce wagon Read the manual that came with it. Perhaps your internal IPs changed but you're still trying to use old internal IPs?

[quiet bramble]

If it is a fixed spot all the time you can use image masks with a blend layer. If it is dynamically shown, then it would need a custom solution. There are a variety of ways to do something like that but none of them will be a simple drop in solution ready to use. The most accessible way of doing this would likely be using Advanced Scene Switcher's pixel peeping abilities along with other tools, dynamically activating an overlay that brigtens or darkens a portion of the screen when this or that is true. If you need help with making a custom solution like that, someone familiar with doing this sort of thing with Advanced Scene Switcher can probably help when they're around.

How do use OBS on iPhone stream IRL

I just started streaming 2 weeks ago

Let me know #everyone

[vapid charm]

You don't.

!mobile

[oblique yew]

Developing OBS Studio for mobile devices is currently outside the scope of what the project is able to work on. Check out the many high-quality mobile streaming apps available for iOS and Android.

To control OBS Studio using a mobile device, see the Remote Control Guide.

[quiet bramble]

I wonder if anyone has made an MCP server for OBS... hrm

[quiet bramble]

Aaannnndd... the answer is yes: https://github.com/royshil/obs-mcp Brilliant.

[dusky basin]

not surprised to see that name lol

[quiet bramble]

Going to have fun poking around with that later this year for sure.

It's kinda funny, while searching around I found people requesting this functionality be incorporated directly into OBS, but it was denied. I agree, it doesn't belong inside of OBS, especially since it uses websockets to do the work so no good reason to include it with OBS. All that would serve to do is to limit how often the plugin could be updated if there were bugs or new features to add. One would have to wait for a new OBS release to come out, which is infinity in the world of AI evolution.

IMHO, most things should be 3rd party plugins not included with OBS for the reason of being able to update them more frequently, and once OBS has a plugin manager, the "convenience" argument of including 5000 plugins with OBS goes away completely anyway.

i may of found a bug w/ it. w11 obs 31.0.3 and ur most recent version of it.
when i select the scene -> add to the DSK category, it adds,
but if i setup something in OBS Raw to just enable it

dskName = "[DSK] | Test"
sceneName = "Test4DSK"
{
  "requestType": "CallVendorRequest",
  "requestData": {
    "vendorName": "downstream-keyer",
    "requestType": "dsk_select_scene",
    "requestData": {
      "dsk_name": "%dskName%",
      "scene": "%sceneName%"
    }
  }
}

i think the bug is when i rename then w/ an additional space.
currently "dsk_name": "[DSK]| Test", returns true,
while the rename of
"dsk_name": "[DSK] | Test", returns false.
when i setup a trigger in streamerbot w/o the tie box selected, it won't enable it no matter which way i set it up as.
but if the box is selected, it enables it.
is there a way i can pass an obs raw req to enable the tie box so i don't have to setup hotkeys? looking to bind them to my streamdeck

[supple pollen]

Hey guys, wasn't there a plugin that can be used to stream to multiple platforms at once?

[oblique yew]

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

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

[supple pollen]

Thanks. Maybe I found an older plugin, I thought it was caleld Streamlabs or Stream... something lol

[ember notch]

Hey, I’ve got a pretty strange bug. I’m currently building a new overlay and using Advanced Masks. when I put this filter on any source It works, but if a change the size of the source my whole obs crashes. It doesn’t without the filter.

[ember notch]

Stream elements

[vale vine]

The stream elements plugin is kinda jank

I do not recommend

[supple pollen]

Is it recommended or? Oh... apparently not lol

But yes that was the one I found.

[ember notch]

I use stream elements but not for multistreaming

[supple pollen]

Fair, I'll try the plugin the OBS Bot linked

[ember notch]

You gave me the inspiration to delete the stream elements plugin and now obs doesn’t crash anymore when I change the size of a source with advanced masks.

Weird but it works haha

[fossil wyvern]

that plugin is single handedly the buggies obs plugin I have ever seen

[fossil wyvern]

!ser
also btw, if you want to make sure you really clean obs of it, you need to uninstall and reinstall obs (and your other plugins) after uninstalling it

[oblique yew]

To cleanly remove SE.Live:

1. Close any instances of OBS
2. Uninstall SE.Live (Add/Remove Programs)
3. Uninstall OBS Studio (make sure that "Settings, Scenes, etc." is not selected)
4. Install OBS Studio again from https://obsproject.com/
   Your settings will be saved unless you have selected to delete them during removal.

[ember notch]

Never had problems with it tbh. I liked to see the recent alerts and having a named bot in my chat 😄
But better advanced masks than that

[fossil wyvern]

you can still use their activity feed without the plugin, just add it as a custom browser dock

[vale vine]

"Custom browser dock" 😉

[fossil wyvern]

for the named bot, yeah you can't use their bot wiht a custom name without the plugin because they gate it behind it for exactly zero reason at all, but there's other bots that can do it

[fossil wyvern]

ty love, am tired

[dusky basin]

add it a a source so viewers can enjoy too

[vale vine]

I mean, you "could" jank your way into it like that with the source dock plugin

[dusky basin]

alternatively, add it as a source and then use the source dock plugin to make it a dock

ez

[vale vine]

Hahaha

[ember notch]

Oh damn you are right, just tried it. It is not in dark mode but good enough

[fossil wyvern]

you should be able to set it to dark mode by creating another dock to the streamelements website, and toggling dark mode there

(you can remove that dock afterwards it should save the setting)

[ember notch]

Thanks!

[fossil wyvern]

[serene echo]

Humm.. I've neven thought to ask if someone has the strem elements plugin installed when having issues with my plugins. Thanks for pointing that out @fossil wyvern. I'll def keep that in mind going forward for those "mystery" crashes.

[fossil wyvern]

I'm severly moving forward having "remove se.live" as the first step of support for any log that shows it.

But yeah it seems to have recently had a string of crashes when changing seneitems transform

I don't even know how it manages that and I don't wanna know tbh

[vapid charm]

That's incorrect as that requirement was removed last year.

Using the custom bot name on the other hand is not recommended for reasons that don't warrant explaining beyond saying it was the powers that be who made "requirements".

[fossil wyvern]

my apologies, hadn't checked in a bit

but yeah still recommend using other bots

[vapid charm]

And I mean recent changes at that.

[dusky basin]

using the bot is fine

"renaming it" is dumb

[unkempt kestrel]

Quick question: Is it possible to have commands/triggers sent to a browser source via websocket? Not seeing anything searching the Discord. I know the somewhat recent addition allows the browser source access to OBS info/controls but not sure if the other direction is doable.

[fossil wyvern]

you can deffo run a websocket client in your browser source

[unkempt kestrel]

Yeah. I know that's an option and I've played with some other related tools like SSE/EventSource stuff in JS so plenty of ways to go. 🙂 But was hoping I could have something I could run right on top of OBS's websocket implementation.

[fossil wyvern]

well what do you mean exactly by commands "sent" to the browser source?

iirc the native js bindings do recieve custom events registered by vendors

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-browser?tab=readme-ov-file#obs-websocket-vendor

[unkempt kestrel]

Interesting...At first glance that looks like it will do what I want? I'll definitely have to dive into it a bit further. Essentially I'm working on some custom overlays for an IRL setup with this being at the 'home base' OBS instance. Some of them I may potentially have toggles within the overlay to control. Still brainstorming that. But ideally it'd all be controlled via websocket. Avoiding having to remote in to save bandwidth. I assumed JS functions/calls would be used in some fashion.

[fossil wyvern]

I have smth similar in the works rn the way I did it is a combo browser source and browser dock talking to each other through broadcastchannel

[glacial knoll]

Do you guys know if there are any planned updates to the plugin template? (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate/) theres build errors as is

Trying to build a custom plugin but the current state of the template is hard to work with given the errors

[carmine viper]

may want to specify what errors you are having specifically, I was able to clone the repo, run cmake, and build without any errors just now.

no, ill send a screenshot

[stark narwhal]

Also there is a timestamp issue that might affect you so I guess you could check out the current beta.

okay tysm i will give it a go

[spark dragon]

can streamelements emulate trigger advs?

[spark dragon]

tysm ace, you have helped me with my problem, you da goat

Hello, I have a problem after updating OBS to new version. It says my vertical plugin is not supported, but I use it to make content on TIKTOK and youtube shorts. Anyone know this problem? I def. cant delete the plugin^^

[hallow vale]

!ser This comes from SE live plugin. We recommend removing it.

[oblique yew]

To cleanly remove SE.Live:

[dawn fractal]

But removin SE-Live would mean that I cannot read my chat in OBS anymore, right?
That woould also be pretty bad hahaha

[hallow vale]

No, you still could. Connect your account in Settings > Stream

The only things that plugin is necessary for is using their multistreaming or bot renaming.

And there's better multistream options out there

Like Aitum

[dawn fractal]

I see, ill try to remover it then 😄

OKay, I deleted it and now my chat is gone as i expected^^. Additionally if i start League of Legends i get a frozen screen :((

[hallow vale]

!chatdocks Let's see if this is the right command.

[oblique yew]

To enable Chat docks for Twitch, Restream and YouTube, you will need to connect your account via Settings -> Stream.
If you'd like to enable chat docks for other services, you can use the Docks menu in the top menu bar, then select Custom Browser Docks. This allows you to include any webpage in OBS.

[hallow vale]

!anticheat to capture LoL

If you have further questions, move to the support channel for your OS

[oblique yew]

Due to compatibility issues with certain anti-cheat systems, OBS Studio's Game Capture source may not work with some games. As a workaround, please use Window Capture instead

• Remove all Game Capture sources related to the game you're trying to capture
• Set the game to either windowed mode or borderless windowed mode
• Add a new Window Capture source
• Select your game from the window list
• Change the Capture Method to "Windows 10"

[dawn fractal]

I think i fixed my problem for now, thank you very much ♥

[fast fjord]

just curious, is there any Plugins or Tools that are compatible with like dials like this for stuff like replay/video rewind and fast forward?

I mean atm I only dials that I have is a Streamdeck+ but I'd like to see how I can actually utilize something like that for videos

[spiral ruin]

The first two there are only for use with editing and color grading on Resolve and Resolve Studio. Blackmagic does have a Replay Editor, but it still requires the live recording to be accessible by Resolve for replay use.

[fast fjord]

knowing Davinci Resolve the software for replays is expensive af lol

which is another reason why I hope there is some solution for me to do something similar on OBS... cause I dont have the budget to pay a few grand 😅

[spiral ruin]

Resolve is free. Resolve Studio is paid.

[fast fjord]

well yeah thats what I mean

[spiral ruin]

But I'm not aware of anything that doesn't involve another app or hardware to be the player for the replay clip.

[fast fjord]

hmmm

[spiral ruin]

You may be able to set up some generic kind of controls (stream deck, touch portal, etc) that will play, pause, and track the replay clip.

[fast fjord]

im looking for Stream Deck actions rn but I don't really see anything for dial controls other than audio for OBS

[spiral ruin]

Probably should ask Elgato community.

I guess if it was easy, it would already be done at the consumer level, and not just for studio and television use.

[carmine viper]

OBS is capture software, use something else and capture it if OBS doesn’t have this niche functionality you want

[spiral ruin]

Though Atem Mini doesn't have dials, I use this method with OBS for controlling instant replays during some live events. https://youtu.be/jp14_KUtDdc?si=lDDB88YCg9a0pqkn

[drowsy saddle]

I've searched around but have been having a really hard time finding an answer to this. I am writing a filter plugin, I know that I can access the source that it is attatched to using obs_filter_get_parent

My goal is to figure out the transform applied to that source in the scene (i.e. find the Position, width and height, I'm not worried about rotation right now)
Once I have the obs_source_t that the filter is applied to, how can I get its transform in the scene?

[carmine viper]

there is obs_source_get_height and obs_source_get_width....to get position I think you'd need to use obs_sceneitem_get_pos

I am sure someone will come correct me if I am wrong though, this is just theory/looking through the docs for myself.

or obs_sceneitem_get_bounds ? you will need to enumerate through sceneitems to match that to your source

once again everything I am saying could be wrong but no one else responded yet so I figured I'd try 😄

[drowsy saddle]

Ok thanks I'll try that. I was having trouble getting the scene, but I think I found a pointer for that

I'm trying to make an OBS tutorial video, but I can't record the OBS window. Here's what I tried:

1. Xbox Game Bar shows a black screen when I try to record OBS

2. ShareX only records the desktop, not the OBS window

3. I think it's a GPU/rendering issue — OBS might not be visible to screen recorders

4. I'm using one PC and want to record OBS itself to show the interface/settings

Any working method or setup you recommend for recording OBS from the same machine?

I want to record obs itself. i reinstalled obs more that 4 time. but having same problem, when i tried window capture or display capture it only record background display, and folder, chrome not obs itself.

There's a specific option in OBS if you want to be able to record the window.

Hey! I’m using the Aitum vertical plugin with OBS Studio, and my mic doesn’t work in the vertical scene unless I also keep the mic source active in the main OBS layout. Is there a way to make the mic work in the vertical output without having to keep it open in the main scene?

[dusky basin]

you'd have to have separate sources for it

actually no that wouldn't work either

[rugged dock]

I just want to set things up so that my mic audio is only used in the vertical layout for Facecam, and my main layout only records the gameplay with game sound.

!portable @proud crag Probably one of your plugins. Make a portable install, copy your settings from %appdata%\obs-studio\ to (portable install)\config\obs-studio.

[oblique yew]

@proud crag

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

1.) Install/unzip to a custom directory outside of "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files"
2.) Then either modify its shortcut with the --portable or -p command line parameter, or create a blank text file named "portable_mode.txt" in the base installation/unzip folder.

You can fine-tune your video and audio sources using filters. To access Filters, you can either:

• click on the Filters button on the source toolbar
  OR
• right click on your source (or click the Gear icon next to an audio source) and select Filters

See the Filters Guide for more information on what filters are available and how they work.

Question regarding Advanced Scene Switcher
I need to check the following conditions

• If streaming
• And not recording
• And current scene is X
  • Or current scene is Y
• And previous scene is X
  • Or previous scene is Y
  • Or previous scene is Z
  • Or previous scene is AA

Can I do nesting like this or would I need separate macros for all of those?

[gilded frost]

This does not allow me to track a source onto the tracked object

[gilded frost]

might be possible tho if it would be possible to have a object when masked be centered to the location and size of the mask location

[untold jay]

@potent vault Two separate "and/or" checks? I think you'll need to put these checks into their own macros, and use the "Macro" condition.

[calm fiber]

hi guys. I got a question. Is there maybe a sort of Overay / OSD plugin for OBS, which woud be used for visua confrimations of what I do with shortcuts. In my case, so far I recorded (I am not a streamer!) videos recently with the AMD Adrenain software, which also has a recording function. Tecnicaly its fine, but they made it too simple in a way that I cannot choose the audio source where the Audio is recorded from. And since i started using virtual audio devices with my Rode Rodecaster Pro 2, it's not always the system standard audio source. And AMD Adrenaline can ony always record from that standard audio source. So I started using OBS for recording, which is fine, I run it in the background. Sure, Shortcuts work and in my case I put a ot of shortcuts on the Smart Pads of the Rode RCP2 via the Smart Pads (Midi Triggers), but as it is . sometimes shortcuts dont work for whatever reason. But I dont want to always run OBS maximized to check if a shortcut worked, i want to rely that i know that it works. But in OBS there is no visua confirmation of any kind, that I can see, that for example recording had started, or stopped. And that's something I woud need. I hoped there was maybe a plugin but there is nothing i could find. Does any of you know maybe know something ? Thanks in advance. 😉

I feel like the only way to do that would be to sequence enabling one and disabling the other

which, indeed, move value cannot do

[knotty moon]

Makes sense, thank you. I’m trying to make a smooth transition between image mask and shape but looks like I’ll have to use Streambot with a bunch of sub action triggers

On Normal Studio mode it show's only 1 scene before switching

I want to see multiple scenes

[untold jay]

@late trench Go to View > Multiview, is that better?

[late trench]

Yeah

But how I set which scenes

[dusky basin]

it shows the first however many scenes fit in there (from the top of the list) but you can tell it to ignore certain ones from the right-click menu

Question about the Source Clone plugin.

Scenario:

Scene A:

My webcam scene. I placed a bunch of media sources there that are tied to channel redeems that will play on top of my webcam.

Scene B:

My main gaming scene. Contains a source clone of Scene A. The source clone allows me to make animated transitions for Scene A using the Advanced Mask filter and Move Value plugin.

Scene C:

Global downstream keyer scene that also contains duplicates of the various media sources in Scene A.

My question:

When I activate some of the media sources in Scene A, they play but have no audio even though the audio option is checked on the Source Clone in Scene B.

They play and transmit audio normally when played in the global DSK scene C, but not in Scene B. Does the Source Clone plugin not transmit audio from Scene A for a specific reason?

Thank you.

[hallow vale]

If I am remembering correctly, scenes themselves don't actually have audio, as it pertains to what a plugin like this is looking for.

Learned this trying to use Teleport and NDI filters on scenes.

[knotty moon]

Interesting.

I was able to get the audio from these media sources out to Twitch via using a separate desktop audio capture but it was odd because there is a specific box you can check on the Source Clone source itself for “audio” but perhaps it’s limited to actual sources and not scenes as source clones.

[hallow vale]

Yeah, it's kinda weird like that. I'll have more coffee and see if I can think of any workarounds

[knotty moon]

Appreciate it.

My current workaround is fine but when I asked ChatGPT, it mentioned trying some virtual audio cables which I already do for some other sources. It gave me this neat diagram but I was hoping for a more efficient solution.

[azure maple]

Does anyone know how to make a move filter activate only when its source is not visible?

[broken wigeon]

Does anyone seperate their bitrate when multi streaming? Like 12Mbps for YouTube and 6Mbps for Twitch? I'm trying to do that but it's either using one or the other, never seperate

[hallow vale]

Which multistreaming plugin are you using?

[broken wigeon]

The one made by Sorayuki (if that's how you spell their name?)

[hallow vale]

Okay, I'm familiar. Screenshot the settings from in there for the stream that isn't at the right bitrate

[broken wigeon]

This one is for my YouTube

For Twitch, using the RTMP plugin

[hallow vale]

Which one isn't working properly?

[broken wigeon]

I'd say Twitch as for some reason it's outputting around 15Mbps

[hallow vale]

[oblique yew]

To enable Chat docks for Twitch, Restream and YouTube, you will need to connect your account via Settings -> Stream.
If you'd like to enable chat docks for other services, you can use the Docks menu in the top menu bar, then select Custom Browser Docks. This allows you to include any webpage in OBS.

[glacial knoll]

Hey guys, I'm completely new to OBS plugin development and I'm trying to develop a plugin for OBS that acts as a counterpart for my Chrome extension. The extension injects JavaScript into Twitch chat to display custom rank badges next to usernames. Right now, I'm working on the streamer-side portion that would allow streamers to see these custom badges in their OBS Twitch chat dock.

Do you guys know of any possible way I can inject JavaScript into the Twitch chat dock from a OBS plugin? I want to preserve all current functionality with betterTTV emotes for example, but just add on the new custom code. Is there a supported way to interact with the OBS chat dock?

Or would the recommended approach be to create a custom dock instead of trying to modify the built-in Twitch dock?

I'm leaning away from using a browser source (which in theory would work) because the idea is to focus on showing these custom badges to the streamer for their benefit, the viewers will already be using the chrome extension. To be clear, the chat displayed on the stream itself is not what I am trying to work with here, it is the chat that is solely displayed to the streamer.

Any guidance would be much appreciated! DMs are open!

I fixed those two I think idk why they are back but it does not say anything about the plugin?

hi guys! So i've been trying to use streamlabs SE live for multistreaming. I cannot make it work for tiktok, when I press start streaming, it only starts streaming on twitch. The little blue button for selecting wich apps you want to stream on, it's selected. So im not sure what's the problem here. If I change the canvas from vertical to horizontal, it fixes the problem, but I really want to stream on vertical, any ideas?

[hallow vale]

Hello you legends! Quick question, is it possible or is there a plugin to make a "game capture" window capture a list of executables instead of just one or the foreground shortcut option?
just like this with the audio output capture as an exemple:

[fossil wyvern]

not that I know of

[untold jay]

!hotkeymode @plucky ruin No, but try hotkey mode.

[oblique yew]

@plucky ruin

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

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

[fossil wyvern]

it's literally one of the things they mentioned so I think they did try it

[stark narwhal]

Am I seeing right that Aitum Vertical is controllable via Websockets but Aitum Multistream isn't?

Was hoping to get advanced scene switcher to automatically start streams and stop them but I guess this is simply not an option.

[fossil wyvern]

as far as I can see yes

[stark narwhal]

Thanks for confirming

[olive sable]

sorry if this isnt the right place to ask, but my searches have come up dry— is there an obs plugin out there that would allow me to add a transparent source that blurs whatever is behind it?

[fossil wyvern]

won't work as a source, what you can do is put a blur filter on the scene itself

[olive sable]

unfortunate

[fossil wyvern]

and with some plugins you can deffo put a filter than only blurs part of the scene

[olive sable]

mhm, i've tried using composite blur and i've gotten close to what i want, but i would need to do it manually for each scene

(for context, i'd like my chat element to blur whatever is behind it for readability, but it's positioned differently in each scene and so something more universal would be nice)

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, that's just not doable with the waay obs works

[olive sable]

oh well, i'll figure something else out then

thanks for answering, it'll be good not to waste any more time on that idea lmao

[violet kayak]

Hm, just updated advanced scene switcher to the 1.30 release and I'm getting

anyone know what's up with that? :/

Here's the build log if anyone wants to check

usually I always install from a local build and test before pushing and the one time I don't something explodes 🫠

[fossil wyvern]

I think that's smth in std?

so make sure you are on latest version of gcc and shit?

[violet kayak]

14.3.1 on F41, can't test F42 with 15.1 right now, but I kinda doubt it requires GCC 15 already given that Ubuntu exists

but also I'd expect the compile to fail if it wasn't available in gcc

when I internet-search-engine that symbol it also turns up nothing which is kinda weird

[spring tinsel]

hello, I have a png and I would like to add a plugin to obs to animate it, what plug in do I use

and how would I use the plugin that would allow my to do that?

[signal scaffold]

Thanks

[solar dust]

Beside missing C++ symbol not much, but C++ ABI is not as stable as C, every GCC/Clang std lib update without rebuild can have this kind of issue.

[loud wedge]

I assume the symbol is from the date lib used to verify twitch event sub timestamps:
https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date
That is an optional dependency and you should be able to build the plugin without it.
But to be honest I am not really sure what went wrong as that was already in 1.29.3.

Let me know if I need to adapt anything on my side!

[violet kayak]

This is a rebuild already, or rather the first build 😄

[violet kayak]

I'll check that when I get back home, thanks

[next ledge]

what's the best plugin that allows me to use VST3?

[torn radish]

setting up ndi for 2 pc setup for the first time

[torn radish]

I enabled the capture in tools on my gaming pc and added an ndi source to my stream pc but nothing shows up for me to select

[violet kayak]

Just back home again and building right now, but just to add to what you said:
It seems to be optional in the sense that yes the build succeeds and the plugin installs
But as you can see from the OBS log it doesn't load the Twitch plugin. That of course makes sense when the dependency is required for Twitch functionality, but the problem with that is also that it isn't indicated to the user until they open the ASS settings dialogue. So Twitch actions wouldn't be working with no indication until the settings are opened (it's in the OBS log but if "nothing is wrong" who's looking at that 😛 ).

[hallow vale]

Is OBS allowed through the firewall on both PCs?

[torn radish]

would I jhust run it admin?

[hallow vale]

I think you have to enable it specifically in firewall settings

[loud wedge]

Sorry, I meant the plugin can be built without this lib.
If it is not there at build time it won't be linked / used at runtime.

[torn radish]

how would one do such a thing

[hallow vale]

Are you on Windows?

[loud wedge]

Just in case it helps, here is the relevant cmake file:
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/blob/master/plugins/twitch/CMakeLists.txt#L33-L56

[torn radish]

yeah

[violet kayak]

hm odd... it's in the tarball but why is it failing to load it then 🫠

[solar dust]

Is the date library built by CMake as an shared object rather than static ?

[hallow vale]

Go to Windows Settings and search the word firewall. Choose Windows Defender Firewall, then a window opens. On the left, there's "allow app through firewall". Find OBS in the list and make sure it's allowed

[torn radish]

I dont even see it as an option

[violet kayak]

In the build log I also don't see anything in the cmake output about it... I do see it complaining about PahoMqttCpp though which is also in the tarball :/

[hallow vale]

Screenshot where you are looking?

[torn radish]

thats o's

or I assume its alphabetical

[hallow vale]

Is OBS running at the moment? Maybe it needs to be?

[torn radish]

it is

[violet kayak]

I wouldn't know, I just use cmake --build and hope for the best

[loud wedge]

The date lib seems indeed to have been built in the log you shared:

/builddir/build/BUILD/obs-studio-plugin-advanced-scene-switcher-1.30.0-build/advanced-scene-switcher-1.30.0-source/deps/date/src/tz.cpp: In lambda function:

  670 |                  [&s](std::string const& m)
...
[  4%] Linking CXX shared library libdate-tz.so

[hallow vale]

Maybe it's not alphabetical. Check the whole list

[violet kayak]

yeah I also added date-devel to have it install in the build root manually and that didn't change anything either :/

[solar dust]

This CMake buildsystem is not designed to check if it's already there, it will always build it.

[violet kayak]

yeah, I mean it's in the tarball anyway so I didn't think it would do anything but I thought I might as well try it lol

on a side note I notice that the cmake output is a little inconsistent...
in the build log I linked I see it complaining about leptonica or tesseract missing, so I just added them to the build root and now there isn't even a mention of it checking the module

which I guess is because it's QUIET
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/blob/1affe9dce37de2ee6b90afd3b390a45c627f367a/plugins/video/CMakeLists.txt#L19-L20
But a little confusing when I wanna see if it enabled every optional functionality 😅

actually... not sure why that wasn't found either because leptonica at least is in the ASS tarball :/

same for libusb, WTH x_x

am I supposed to set CMAKE_MODULE_PATH or something maybe? :/

[loud wedge]

I don't include the building of all possible dependencies in the camke script for the plugin.
I just check if they exist at build time and if I so configure the plugin use them. (libusb / mqtt / tesseract / leptonica / opencv ...)
For "small" (e.g. the date lib, which is causing issues) or easy to compile stuff I add them directly to the build system via add_subdirectory if possible.

[violet kayak]

yeah I think I'm gonna look at the optional stuff later, but right now I'm kinda stuck on the date thing… any idea why it's throwing a missing symbol when apparently it's being built? :/

[loud wedge]

I would guess that for some reason the plugin is not linking against the static version of the date lib.
And be cause of that it is probably also looking for libdate-tz.so at runtime, which cannot be found.
Can you check if ldd /path/to/advanced-scene-switcher-twitch.so reports that any libs cannot be found?

[violet kayak]

mh, can't say I'm seeing anything noticeable:

[loud wedge]

I think the quickest solution would be if I simply add an option to explicitly not use this date dependency, right?
You can pass additional cmake args in your build environment, can't you?
So, somehting like cmake -DIGNORE_DATE_LIB=1 ....

[violet kayak]

I can yeah, and I already do:

 55 %cmake \                                                           
 56     -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \                            
 57     -DCMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR=OFF

[loud wedge]

Ok, I will prepare the change and give you a ping once it is merged.
Do you need me to push a new tag or is that not necessary?

[violet kayak]

but there's gotta be a reason why it doesn't work, no?

[violet kayak]

nah I can add patches from the commit/PR

[loud wedge]

there is but I have no idea 😄
especially since it was working before, wasn't it?

[violet kayak]

yeah it was working with 1.29

gonna rebuild 1.29.3 and test again to make sure

not that something else broke it

[loud wedge]

Here is the change:

Good Afternoon, Is there a way to have Different Audio Mixer settings on one scene and not the same on another scene?
Like once i switch Scenes it will disable Certain things?
For example
Game Scene: Game Audio,Mic Audio
Talk Scene: Mic audio, Spotify Audio,

[fossil wyvern]

just don't have the game audio source on the talk scene

[warm pier]

Shit lol.... i thought if i deleted it then it would delete it from both Scenes lol thanks

Does anyone know a thing or two about infowriter?

[violet kayak]

it's -DDISABLE_TWITCH_TIMESTAMP_VERIFICATION=ON right?

[loud wedge]

Right

[violet kayak]

Oh yeah also... I got sidetracked but I just tested 1.29.3 and I am in fact getting the same error... I just never noticed it, which... doesn't make this situation better 😅
I don't even know when it worked last because the VODs are already expired (I set up auto markers with ASS)

[warm pier]

Need help with InfoWriter plugin... i got most of it setup.. just did a stream for like 4 hours and clicked it a hand full of times but it didnt actually say WHEN i pressed it other than Real life time not Stream time (How long into the stream before i clicked the hotkey) what setting am i missing? can i just be streaming or do i need to be recording at the same time

[dusky basin]

hm

the code suggests it should also write a stream time marker if streaming

[warm pier]

Yeah.. i dont know what im missing here... if i record it shows how long into the recording the hotkey gets pressed... i just didnt think id have to record and stream for this to work

[dusky basin]

what exact version of that plug-in are you running?

[warm pier]

Thats a good question

[dusky basin]

well googling quickly lead me here https://github.com/partouf/OBSInfoWriter and looking at that it should write stream markers as well as recording markers

[warm pier]

im not sure how to check which version i have now but i guess only thing i can do right now is download the Most recent (assuming i dont already have that one)

actually i checked my downloads i am running the most recent... hmm

haven't streamed but it builds and loads at least

Except the Twitch connections are lost (which is understandable), but also all the actions that used to be Twitch are now Unknown actions 😦

[dusky basin]

are you perhaps using multi-streaming?

[loud wedge]

There should be automatically created backups in the advanced scene switcher plugin config dir (where ever that is on your system)
Seems to be ~/.config/obs-studio/plugin_config/advanced-scene-switcher/ in my Ubuntu VM.
You can import 1.29.3 backup from there and your actions / conditions / connections should be back.

[violet kayak]

Also is it intended that the Twitch connection dialogue spawns as small as this 🤣

[warm pier]

i was at one point.. but just strictly Twitch right now.. maybe some stuff thinks i am multi streaming

[dusky basin]

well if you're still using the multi-streaming plugin to stream to twitch that might affect it, I think the info writer only works with the built in output

[loud wedge]

huh ... strange.
Never saw that behavior before

[fossil wyvern]

@loud wedge I was thinking do you have an api to access the adv-ss variables from external stuff (like other plugins/scripts)

[warm pier]

is there a way to have a fresh OBS but keep all my sources and shit lmfao

[dusky basin]

export your scene collection

you can probably also get pretty far by just making a new profile

[loud wedge]

Yes 🙂
See advss_get_variable_value here:
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Scripting#advss_get_variable_value

[dusky basin]

though in that case any plugins would still be installed of course

[warm pier]

do you know if infowriter would be Tied into Scenes? or just the profile specifically

oh nvm

[fossil wyvern]

amazing ty, I'll add it to adv-ff, you're amazing

[violet kayak]

uuhhhh is it intended that it preselects "text files" as file type and doesn't let me change it? as a result its not finding the json files lol

[loud wedge]

good catch!
I guess you will have to rename it to *.txt for now 😄

[violet kayak]

yea not a big deal

[violet kayak]

OK that was a life saver

FYI the 1.29.3 file already had the connections missing so I'm assuming that's where it broke since they are in the 1.29.2 file

i noticed some keys are missing which is bothersome on the left :(

[feral lotus]

already fixed but adding more keys is super bothersome

i just replaced "enter" with ";"
so edit the kb with start editing>element properties and set keycodes to 183

for the ";" not sure about other keys, i just pressed it and it somehow worked lol

oh yeah is there a shortcut key to "remove element"? it's annoying to remove each one using right clickl

[limpid frost]

hello!! been having difficulty navigating the multi rtmp plugin, downloading the zip but the files are missing? i have the .dll but that's all - any help would be appreciated!

[stark narwhal]

What exactly do you think is missing?

It's a dll, pdb and locale files that's it

And the instructions how to install

[charred egret]

any body know how i can get an overlay that i made to transition

[summer trellis]

OOPS

wrong channel sob

[jolly crypt]

Is anyone using stream elements multi stream plug in? Have tried others but it seems to be the easiest without having to manually put in a key each time. Just need to figure out how to have it not crash 3 times a stream and it will be great if anyone knows how to fix that

[spiral ruin]

!se
That plugin has been a known troublemaker for a long long time, well before the multistream feature was added.
Aitum Multistream and Multi-rtmp plugins are more reliable, in general.

Anyone know much about infowriter? I started a stream a few days ago, it marked the times I pressed the hotkey and the real life time but not how long into the stream ( the 0:00:00 ) any idea what I need to tweak for this to work?

Ps.. do I need to be "Recording" and not JUST streaming for that feature to be working

[covert geyser]

how do i make the time/clock blink when the time ends

timer

Hi i hope i can ask this here but im having trouble with advanced scene Switcher. I installed it but the name is funny when I installed it and it gives me clear directions on what do do, but I can't get it working properly. It says a file is missing from where it should be. Im not home now but but can I message someone privately later so that I can get this working. Thank you in advance!
