in tools -> scripts -> script log did it say "writing caption"?
if it does that means its working and there're no captions on twitch so seems caption output in general would be broken somehow, if so maybe try x264 to see if that helps then

[slow fog]

Hi Exeldro, thankyou for pointing that out. I've just put it here https://github.com/autoaffili/autoaffili/blob/main/PRIVACY.md

[fossil wyvern]

the weird bit was that the captions button in the player was there, so I'd assume twitch was recieving a captions "stream" but an empty one

also cool script, I'm yoinking that

[lethal barn]

@weak escarp -
Apologies for the Ping hope you're not busy, and no rush.
I can DM you if you prefer there instead of this chat, but

I just got a new Stream Setup going and thought everything was good, I have my Game Capture on multiple scenes with Source Clone so I can adjust the filters (cropping and such) to move around with the Move plugin.

In my Mixer, I see the original Game Capture Audio, and it shows the Bars as if it's active, if I monitor, I hear it. But the Stream doesn't get the audio.

The only fix I've found so far is to Check the box saying "Audio" but then I have two Mixers for Game Capture, the original (which shows Bars but I guess doesn't route to the Stream correctly) and then the Clone Game Capture.

I've confirmed the advanced settings that everything is routed from OBS correctly so I'm unsure how I can get just a single "Game Capture" source in the Audio Mixer to appear and still have the stream hear the audio.

If you know what I'm doing wrong, please let me know. Or if anyone else knows - that'd be great!
Thank you again for these amazing plugins.

@loud wedge I'm trying to see if I can get back to having twitch commercial based cues working with AdSS but there's some quirks on twitch's end that having me wondering how well it will work.

The first part that I'm not quite sure about is being able to detect whether or not one has ended based on active status vs timed duration. This is because there's about a 5 or so second delay between when the commercial is requested to when it actually begins minus a couple second difference (When doing a 3 minute group).

The other one is when I'm in my starting soon scene. I've got it set to run a commercial 35ish seconds into the stream and end 3 minutes later. Unfortunately twitch also wants to do their own starting about a minute/half later throwing my initial preset plans into a wrench since I don't have a set time when it could/will end. This brings me back to the other problem above.

[lethal barn]

I'll grab it here when I can - work started for me.

Hey guys, sorry if this is a noob question, but is there a way I can stream to TikTok using OBS?

[spiral ruin]

Yes. The most direct method is using a stream key from TikTok, if they think your account is worthy.
If not, you may use a restreaming service that allows you to login with your TikTok account. Not sure which services do that, so you will have to do your research. The main method people use without a stream key is to connect the Virtual Camera output from OBS to the TikTok Studio app as source and stream to TikTok from that app.

[nova vector]

How would I do the Virtual Camera method?

[spiral ruin]

I just said how to do it. Is the virtual camera in OBS as a source in TikTok Studio

[spiral ruin]

Are you brand new to using OBS?

[oblique yew]

✨ If you're new to OBS Studio:

• follow the Quick Start Guide to set up your first scene and get streaming/recording
• learn more about the interface in the Overview Guide

[gray eagle]

Yes, I am totally new to using OBS and to stream from it to TikTok. Used the TikTok Live studio before.

[nova vector]

Same but it made my computer really yucky to play on while streaming and i dont have that issue when i stream to twitch with OBS

[nova vector]

Im very new yes haha sorry

[spiral ruin]

Please don't delete messages. I had already replied to you with the new user's guides

[nova vector]

Apologies i didnt mean to do that

[nova vector]

Ok i have it added to TikTok Studio as a source

[loud wedge]

The channel.ad_break.begin event apparently also sends out information when the commercial was started, which can differ from the time the event was received.
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub/eventsub-reference/#channel-ad-break-begin-event

The UTC timestamp of when the ad break began, in RFC3339 format. Note that there is potential delay between this event, when the streamer requested the ad break, and when the viewers will see ads.
Maybe this can help resolve the timing issues?

Sadly, there isn't an event for when an ad break has ended.
So, I am not sure if that can be measured accurately.

[raven oyster]

im having another issue with this. sometimes my audio will fade. sometimes it will not.

i transititon from my starting scene to my camera scene, the audio doesn't fade. i transition back to my starting scene and back to my camera scene, it fades. is there a fix for this?

unticking perform action only on condition change didn't work

i don't get it

it used to work perfectly. what changed?

just updated the plugin. didn't fix it

this is what happens. watch the volume mixer when i switch scenes.

i don't know if this is a bug with obs, the plugin, or both

i have to transition twice to get the fade to work

only way I can get around this that I can think of is manually run the macro when I transition

i guess i can't run the macro with a hotkey

that would make it so much easier

i can toggle the pause state but thats about it

[magic crystal]

sorry for the late reply!

yes I'm getting

Can you run the turtle beach gen 2 USB headset with Elgat capture card to OBS?

[spiral ruin]

The headset would connect to the pc or compatible device via USB. The Elgato capture card is irrelevant.
Are you having issues using one device or the other with OBS?

[pliant quiver]

So here is my setup, my Xbox Series X is linked up with an elgato capture card, that is linked up to a laptop that's running OBS

But i can't seem to connect my Turtle beach gen 2 USB headset to OBS so that i can stream from OBS & not via the Xbox

[spiral ruin]

For OBS to use the headset as a source for the mic, you need to connect it to the PC running OBS.

[pliant quiver]

So the only way it is able to connect to the PC is if i plug the USB in the PC itself but then i get not mic audio

[spiral ruin]

You mean you don't have a mic for the game console?>

You can't use a USB mic for both the console and the PC at the same time.

[pliant quiver]

This is where I'm confused.

So i should leave the USB in the console?

[spiral ruin]

If you do, you will need a second mic, one to connect to the pc.

[pliant quiver]

Okay

I've also got a chat link

[tight sparrow]

Hey I have an issue I need some support with if anyone is available

[spiral ruin]

You can't use a chat link with a USB headset.

[pliant quiver]

Okay thanks for your help

[loud wedge]

I would suggest to enable the visual indicators showing when which condition is true to narrow down what the problem is.
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/wiki/Troubleshooting#visual-indicators-of-macro-activity-and-status

i guess i can't run the macro with a hotkey
You can use the "Hotkey" condition for that purpose.
You can bind a key to that condition in the OBS settings menu as you would for any other hotkey.

[cursive egret]

Sorry for the ping, it was suggested to me I should for something regarding the user defined shaders plugin: @weak escarp I recently updated to OBS 32, then (foolishly) updated the user defined shaders plugin. The update caused the Polar shader to no longer behave like it used to

Whereas before any value less than 1 would cause the source to stretch outinto a ring, eventually forming a perfect circle, now it just starts to shrink once going less than 1

Any chance of it being a strange bug? The full circle look gave me one of the cooler designs in my whole stream set up and I'm sad it's gone

[weak escarp]

that shader had a change 1 year ago:
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-shaderfilter/commits/master/data/examples/polar.shader

[fossil wyvern]

oh lmfao sorry exeldro, I assumed when they said they updated, it wasn't from a more than 1 year old release

[cursive egret]

Oh!

God, I'm sorry

I am super not good at navigating github, I coulda found this by myself

Sorry

I did update to the most recent release though

2.5.1

[fervent marsh]

If it makes you feel any better, I probably wouldn't have thought to see if the bundled shader changed, either.

Hi folks. Does anyone know if the Stopwatch.lua script is still being supported? https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/comprehensive-stopwatch-countdown-timer.1364/history The last update was Nov 2024, which was also the last time @GrumpyDog responded to questions.

Anyone able to help me with this? Who has experience with Source Clone?
My Log is above.
Info is:

"I have my Game Capture on multiple scenes with Source Clone so I can adjust the filters (cropping and such) to move around with the Move plugin.

[hallow vale]

Can you send two screenshots please:

Settings > Output > Streaming

Advanced Audio Properties window

[lethal barn]

For sure:
You'll see "Game" which is the Actual Game Source that is Cloned over.

For context - My "Game / Display" is the Scene. The Scene has my Game, a Window Capture, and Display (I know not recommended but makes it easier to enable and disable visuals) that I can hide and show on my streamdeck.
I then use Source Clone, to Clone the Scene to my Two Scenes and I can then Crop them accordingly.

When I do this, the Sources show up in the mixer as expected, but no audio goes through. I can only get audio if I check "Audio" on the Source Cloned Scene, but then this leaves to Two Mixers present.

Let me just make sure I understand: The original game capture source named "[3] 🎲 | Game" has no sound?

[lethal barn]

Correct.

I have a Sceen - for my Display Captures / Game Captures.

The Scene, get's Source Cloned over to another Scene. I add filters like Cropping and such. I call that Source Clone (that's a clone of the entire scene) "Game / Display [GP]"

[hallow vale]

Whoa, slow down.

Now if you clone the game capture source itself, does that have working audio

[lethal barn]

I'd assume so but then I would have to have Source Clones of my Game / Display / Window Capture all with the same Move Transitions and Cropping (adding GPU resources)
Versus just having the Entire Scene be cropped and Cloned.

[spiral ruin]

It's not a question for assumption. It's a question to be verified for troubleshooting purposes.

[hallow vale]

Just answer one question at a time, testing where needed. I can read your log and I already have your previous explanations of sources and scenes and such.

[lethal barn]

Just tested through a Recording.
Yes - this works.
Having a Clone of the Game Capture Source on it's own, with Audio Check Enabled. Results in a single Game Capture in Mixer and Audio being fed to stream / recording.

[spiral ruin]

Okay one moment

[lethal barn]

Just trying to provide context encase it was missed as I've done alot of testing and didn't know if we where goin to repeat test steps.

Thank you both for helping

[hallow vale]

Okay, interesting. Double click the source "[3] 🎲 | Game" and screenshot its properties window for me.

[lethal barn]

Here is the Properties from Game Source in the the {Display] Scene that I'm attempting to Clone to other Scenes.

[hallow vale]

Is that specifically the game capture source I named?

I did not and do not need all the rest of your sentence.

[lethal barn]

Yes it's what you asked for.

[hallow vale]

And can you please screenshot the whole window? I want to see if it's capturing anything

[lethal barn]

When I have a game open, it will.
Right now I don't have a game open.

I did open a game for the audio test though.

[hallow vale]

Okay, now capture a game for about 30 seconds, tabbing into to it for that time, then send a new current log link

Does the game Party Animals make sound that you yourself hear when tabbed out of it?

[lethal barn]

Yes

Also.. I think I just found a solution.

[hallow vale]

👀

[lethal barn]

Idk how I didn't think of it - it's super simple.
Cause the Audio isn't being Truly Doubled. It's just the Mixer Bars being doubled....
so... Hide the Source Clone Mixer Bar......

"Right click" - Hide...... Lol

Just tested and audio still goes through - just need to make sure Source Clone has Audio Enabled. And then hide the Source Clone Mixer and keep the Mixer for the Cloned Source.

[hallow vale]

Hiding does not stop the audio from being captured or being output

And this doesn't solve the issue of the original source having no audio, right?

[lethal barn]

Doing a test

[lethal barn]

Okay - very weird new thing I've identified.
So - if I disable. Then Enable Audio. In the Source Cloned "Scene" for all my display and game.
The "🎲 | Game" appears, and is sending audio.
Two things I've noticed though.
1- Now both the Source Clone AND the Game Mixers are not active, only the Game.
2- If i go to another scene with another Source Clone of the Scene (so I can have different filters), the audio is not there. Game doesn't even show up in the Mixer.

[hallow vale]

RE 2- Does the scene in question have its own separate original game capture source?

[lethal barn]

No - each scene was having only the Source Clone for the Scene that holds all the Game Capture / Display Capture etc that I have.

[hallow vale]

Okay, so that particular scene should have only one copy of audio, the source clone audio, not game capture audio, correct?

No game capture source = no separate copy of game capture audio

[lethal barn]

Yes - I only had 1 source for the Game / Desktop Audio which was the Source Clone.

Could I solve this by just adding the "Scene" itself as a Nested Scene - putting it behind everything so it's not visable. Just the guarantee audio comes through? Or does this add extra GPU overhead and usage?

[hallow vale]

No, hold on. Let me FAFO for a minute

[hallow vale]

Okay, so if I add a scene as a source, the game capture mixer bars appear as the game capture audio.

If I clone the scene and add it as a source, the audio is specifically the source clone audio.

Does this help at all or make any difference for understanding your issue?

Dammit, it's cropped. One sec LOL

[hallow vale]

Sorry, had to rerecord.

Scene source = Original Game Capture source audio in mixer
Source Clone = Source Clone audio source in mixer

[lethal barn]

What's weird is mine is not being consistent.
This test seems to have worked with my idea that I can just Hide the Mixer for the Cloned Scene.
But I just had a test not long ago that this didn't work.

I'm going to test some other stuff out, but right now it seems to work just having Audio on and "Hiding" the Mixer for the Cloned Scene and keeping the Game Capture enabled.

If you can't hear anything when I show the gane on screen - you may have to open this with an editing software to see the multiple tracks, but you can see and hear when the audio comes in and out.

[raven oyster]

thanks. what i'm seeing is that on the first transition, the top section flashes green but not the bottom section. on the second transition, both flash.

[hallow vale]

Okay, so the problem is now the opposite of your original descroption.

The game capture source receives audio, but the source clone does not.

sometimes

[lethal barn]

Yeah I have no idea why - it's very inconsistent. Right now it's working so I'l ltest further later.
The issue I'm trying to solve now is the Move Transition somehow broke and now it won't adjust the Advanced Mask I have from one scene to another - but it works for all the other masks...

[spiral ruin]

Make sure all of the plugins you have installed are on the latest versions.

[lethal barn]

Okay y'all - I need help with something new.
I have no idea why this is happening.

It was working before, I didn't change anything that I know of. Everything is up to date.
And I've even attempted to just copy and paste everything from one scene to the other.

But the Moment I try and change the Mask from only one of my scenes to the other with Source Clone & Move Plugin. It doesn't transition smoothly.
It works from my Gaming Pause Scene to Gaming Scene, but not from any scene to the Chatting Scene.

Any idea why?

[raven oyster]

hotkey isn't working

[loud wedge]

Can you check if you have accidentally enabled this setting on the General tab?
If so, please disable it.

[loud wedge]

I am not sure if the logic of the macro with the hotkey condition makes sense / is set up like you intend it to.
The actions will only be executed if you press the hotkey and a transition is active.
You probably intended to use or here.

[raven oyster]

I'll check

[raven oyster]

nah I was trying to get around the issue I was having by having it activate with a hotkey and when the transition starts. but it's not really working even through all the conditions are met.

[dense parcel]

Can anyone tell me how to get the ffmpeg opus plug in for obs im a beginner so I know nothing and the platform i want to use requires the ffmpeg opus and all I have available is ffmpeg AAC

right, it should.
Unless that setting on the general tab is active.

It doesn't really serve much of purpose any more since the introduction of macros, but I don't want to risk breaking existing setups.

Hey, is there a fast way to change the width & heigth of a browser source in OBS?

[inland forum]

Yes, in prefrences for the browser object

[silk schooner]

Yeah but, I was thinking of a faster way

like CTRL+SHIFT+W+F20+Mouse or whatever

[pulsar mica]

Uhhh, my custom tool that talks to OBS using websockets, I just put those kind of controls in there

So in other words, making some custom plugin for OBS or an app that does it can give you a lot of power

You can make OBS change the browser source sizes exactly the way you want... if it's some dynamic layout or something, it could react to other sources being shown or hidden

[ruby monolith]

Any way to frame interpolate/blend a browser source by use of plugins?

[wispy heath]

What could be causing audio callbacks not to work (raw_audio/raw_audio2) ? While raw_video works as expected

Output flags set as OBS_OUTPUT_AV | OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK

[fossil wyvern]

what's the exact context?

[wraith peak]

So I'm looking into some options for some of these redeems I use to track my vtube model and I'm looking at this plugin

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

And the main thing I need to accomplish is to get the media source to pseudo "track" where the model is. The media sources are redeems and they're on multiple scenes, so I'm wondering how exactly I could go about this or if anyone knew from the move plugin that there's a way to set it to track another source?

I have all the media sources nested atm

Or would I have to make individual media sources for each and every movement I can imagine my model would be placed in OBS?

[fossil wyvern]

so funnily this is a question I4ve been pondering for a bit for the exact same purpose for a friend of mine

[wraith peak]

yeeeah, vtube studio doesn't like me using my 300 frame png animated gif LOL

[fossil wyvern]

I don't have any clear answer but I've been testing a bit the move AR filter to basically use face recognition on the model's face, it's a bit eh, but maybe by increasing contrast that can improve

[fossil wyvern]

tried converting to qtrle with alpha?

unsure whether vtube studio actually supports that but it might be better

[wraith peak]

Not sure it does, lemme see

png/jpg and these

[fossil wyvern]

not .mov?

[wraith peak]

v.v

not mov

I wish tho

[fossil wyvern]

alr we can try with webm with alpha

[wraith peak]

and it only uses it via web link so I'm not even sure how to do that

[fossil wyvern]

if you don't know how to convert a gif to that, gimme one and I'll do it

[wraith peak]

I got one as a webm rdy but making it work is where I'm unsure since I only know for gifs and etc you just drag n drop em into the assets folder

and when I did that with the webm it didn't recognize it

[fossil wyvern]

basically, just host it somewhere, and use that link

[wraith peak]

hmm

lemme see cuz it doesn't even show me a box to put a link in

[fossil wyvern]

drag and drop the link

[wraith peak]

OH

WOW I'M DUMB OK LEMME SEE

[fossil wyvern]

nah you're not dumb it's not that explicit

[wraith peak]

I don't.... how would I drag n drop if I don't have this open tho..

[fossil wyvern]

just drop onto the tuber?

[wraith peak]

hmm

okay maybe I'm just overthinking LMAO

so now we got this...

ngl if I solve this through vtube studio this'd be amazing

trying to avoid complicating OBS more than I already have lmao

[fossil wyvern]

are you sure the webm file in question has transparency?

[fossil wyvern]

yeeah, full agree

[wraith peak]

it should but I can prolly snag another and double check it or hell I know it doesn't say mov but maybe I can try the mov

[fossil wyvern]

send the file here to check

[wraith peak]

okay yeah it doesn't take mov's but I can get it transparent np, also I don't wanna just shove it anywhere no offense lol

but I can check in after I make it transparent and see

[fossil wyvern]

none taken we can do this the other way aroud I give you a webm I know is transparent and you check whether it is transparent in vtube studio

[wraith peak]

that works if you don't mind :v

appreciate it, I've only recently learned vtube studio supported web links so maybe this'll be the fix afterall

[fossil wyvern]

yee I just have to actually scrounge my huge ass folder for a good one XD

[wraith peak]

kek

I'd been going through this issue for a while but-

oh hang on

[fossil wyvern]

there

[wraith peak]

and using it as a png with transparency it "works" and I can technically preload them and they'lll work normally but after a while they do this anyways and freeze up

aight let's see...

bad news chief

[fossil wyvern]

alright, you know how to convert the gif to animated webp?

[wraith peak]

ye

I'm actually doing that rn to see

[fossil wyvern]

try that one yee, hopefully that is supported

gods gif is ass

[wraith peak]

real

actually wait

so I have them as mov, webm, and the individual frames as png

thought I also had gif

maybe I can try mov to webp?

[fossil wyvern]

just individual frames to animated webp

[wraith peak]

know where I can do that without paying a subscription?

[fossil wyvern]

oh you were doign that shit on online stuff?

[wraith peak]

nah I just only got given the webm/mov

and pngs

[fossil wyvern]

I'd recommend imagemagick for image -> image conversion, and ffmpeg for video stuff

[wraith peak]

gotchu, aight lemme see

[fossil wyvern]

alternatively, if you want a quick test, here's an animated webp

[wraith peak]

ya know at this rate I might just ask the creator of the stuff to provide me with transparent gifs/webp's depending on if this works lol

[fossil wyvern]

yee probs better XD

and tbh go with webp over gif, gif has only 1 bit transparency, so fucks a lot of transparency effects

[wraith peak]

gonna eat im

and success

that's huge

[fossil wyvern]

[wraith peak]

ty so much holy

I've struggled with this problem for over a year and asked constantly in vtube studio and everywhere LMAO

How would I go about fixing this issue? I can’t seem to figure it out.

[spiral ruin]

Update or remove that plugin. Your choice.

[inner elbow]

how do i update it?

[obsidian agate]

by downloading the latest version from where you downloaded the plugin to begin with, and install the latest version

Hey guys, I'm new to Discord.
I had a question about adding a ptz controller plugin to control a fumako ptz camera.

I followed the steps on youtube but no luck with the connection.

The ptz camera is connected via USB to the computer so I'm wondering if I still need to use the visa over tcp option or a different option under the media tab.

Thank you!

Is it possible to have new followers notification graphics and new subscribers notifications run entirely in obs or is an external plugin required?

[carmine viper]

is there a specific issue you are trying to solve? using an alert provider like streamelements or streamlabs is definitely the easiest way.

[zenith kayak]

So basically, the reason I want it to all run one program is I’ve got major ocd with needing to navigate multiple windows and if it’s possible to had it all on my obs application I absolutely would!

[carmine viper]

once you have them set up you don't navigate any other windows but no, even if you have all the graphics and such running directly in OBS you need something else to listen for followers/subs or whatever else to trigger the alerts

I'd recommend just setting them up with streamelements or something

welcome to advanced-scene-switcher, the golden standard of obs automation

[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.

[south owl]

Hello, I have a problem. I wanted to install StreamFX. When I did, OBS said that the version wasn't supported and that I should either update or delete it. Even after deleting the plugin, I still get the message to update or delete it every time I start the program. There must still be some remnants of the plugin somewhere...

how it the rest .. i understand this

[fossil wyvern]

versions of the plugin compatible with current obs are available on xaymar's patreon

[south owl]

and how i can deinstall when i think its deinstall but its not ..

[fossil wyvern]

oh, you want to remove it?

[south owl]

yes.. but obs says Yes, OBS says I should either update or remove the plugin. I actually deleted the plugin, but OBS still says it's there.

[fossil wyvern]

(and actually just to make sure, I misspoke, the streamfx installers are not on xaymar's anymore but on this one https://www.patreon.com/cw/Vhonowslend)

check in C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins and C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit

[vapid charm]

He renamed.

Well they...

[fossil wyvern]

nah there's both now, the two patreon exist

[south owl]

I'm in the plugins folder, but it doesn't say "streamfx" anywhere. Is it referred to differently by folder?

[fossil wyvern]

so just wanted to make sure me misspeaking wouldn't induce people to sub to the wrong patreon

[fossil wyvern]

there is far more than one "plugins" folder, so I'd suggest you check what I told you tto check above because those are the folders that matter

[south owl]

Can I send a screenshot of the plugins so you can tell me which plugin it is?

[fossil wyvern]

send a screenshot of the two folders I told you to check

[south owl]

I'm in the 64-bit plugins folder, but I don't know where the second folder should be.

[fossil wyvern]

well, I literally told you where it is

C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins

that's the whole path

that's where it is

[south owl]

im in this folder

my english is not so good..

[fossil wyvern]

go to C then programdata, then obs-studio then plugins

ProgramData

i.e. a whole different folder than the one you are in rn

[south owl]

im in this folder what you say.. this is the folder

[fossil wyvern]

Go to C: and screenshot what is there

[fossil wyvern]

that is not C:

go to C: and screenshot what is there

[south owl]

under c its my prorammx86 than obs-studio than 64 bit and dann plugins

[fossil wyvern]

I want you to screenshot what is in C:

stop trying to argue, please do what I say

[vapid charm]

Actually might be hidden as I think that's not one of the visible folders.

[vapid charm]

Ah!

[south owl]

?

[fossil wyvern]

how do you unhide on win?

[vapid charm]

@south owl windows 10 or 11?

[south owl]

Again, I haven't changed anything.

11

[fossil wyvern]

acctually, nvm
press win+r, then paste C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins, press enter

[vapid charm]

That too.

[fossil wyvern]

that should do it no need for anything else

[south owl]

OMG

WHY

xD

why is it in this

[fossil wyvern]

technically all plugins should install there

[fossil wyvern]

third party installing in the first-party plugin directory was a mistake and should be migrated to this "proper" folder

[south owl]

i must delete this?

[fossil wyvern]

yup

[south owl]

And why do I have to press Win+R and specify the path? Without you, I never would have found it... Why isn't it in the folder where I showed the two screens earlier, with the plugins?

[fossil wyvern]

you don't have to, the folder is there, just windows decides to hide it for moronic reasons

the win+r thing just goes faster than trying to find out how to show hidden folders in windows

[south owl]

And how can I make it visible?

[fossil wyvern]

and it's in there because that's the proper folder to install plugins

[fossil wyvern]

idk, search for "how to show hidden folders in windows 11"

[south owl]

If OBS puts the plugins in the folder where StreamFX was, why aren't there any other plugins there when OBS says I have three? (I don't want to uninstall them.) It's just a question of why it says I have three when there was nothing else in the StreamFX folder.

[fossil wyvern]

because a lot of plugin maintainers got into the habit of having their plugins install themselves into the first-party folder, and didn't migrate to install to the proper one

[south owl]

okay

[fossil wyvern]

it doesn't mean it won't work (yet) but they'll likely have to migrate at some point

[south owl]

Thank you so much ❤️ You've helped me. Is there an alternative to Streamfx?

or a plugin that is similar

(its google translate.. sry

)

[fossil wyvern]

depends, which part of it are you using

[zenith kayak]

whats the best plugin atm for multi streaming?

(Free)

[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/

[south owl]

I asked Chatgpt how to draw boxes in OBS, and Chatgpt recommended Streamfx.

[zenith kayak]

danke

[fossil wyvern]

the streamelements one is shit.
the sorayuki one and branch output are good and functional
the aitum one (the one I linked above) is good and functional and an easier UI/UX than the two previous

[fossil wyvern]

what do you mean by that exactly?

[south owl]

I need a plugin for color correction and opacity.

[fossil wyvern]

don't need a plugin for that, there's a filter for it in base obs

unsure how that relates to "drawing boxes"

[south owl]

I'll give you an example. This box was gray; I only want the border to be gray, but not filled in. I just want borders. And chatpgt suggests I use StreamFX and its color correction, but if there's another way, I'd be happy to do it differently if you could tell me how 🙂

[spiral ruin]

If you are trying to make a simple frame, make it in a drawing app then use it as a source.
Otherwise, drop a mask in it.

[zenith kayak]

Yeah I like the UX a lot - I've started streaming recently and work full time as a ux designer so some of the stuff I see...

Gives me a headache

[south owl]

I can't draw... I just want a frame... ^^

[fossil wyvern]

a mask filter?

[spiral ruin]

Then make it or buy one.

[fossil wyvern]

also why would color correction do that

[zenith kayak]

Decided I'm going to multi stream so going on with its set up - I assume a charge merger must exist?

[fossil wyvern]

idk wtf it's smoking

[fossil wyvern]

charge merger?

[south owl]

I can only say what chatgpt said; I don't know myself.

[zenith kayak]

Yeah something that will channel all the live stream chats from multiple sites into one

chat*

pardon the typo

[spiral ruin]

ChatGPT is a poor defense. It is usually wrong and overly-complicated

[fossil wyvern]

oh, huh, yes there are, and you can easily add them in obs as a customm browser dock, I however do not know any by name

[fossil wyvern]

well unless it told you how to do that....

use an image mask to make everything but the border transparent

!filters

[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.

[zenith kayak]

ah okay that's fine I'd do some research

[south owl]

thx

whole layout with spotify easy to edit!

[vagrant quest]

need help my obs stdio doesnt work

my transmition its black and i wnt to hava a video of robloxç

[oblique yew]

Due to a change in the way Roblox works, OBS Studio's Game Capture source is unable to capture it. As a workaround, please use Window Capture instead:

1. add a new Window Capture source
2. select Roblox from the window list
3. change the Capture Method to "Windows 10"

On Windows 10, you will see a yellow border around the game which cannot be disabled. This is not visible in your stream and can be ignored (use the `!yellow` command for more info).

Hey guys anyone know how to import a preset into TDR Nova

[fossil wyvern]

have you asked TDR nova's support?

[oblique badger]

Hey Yall, I have an apparently really niche issue, where i want to use source record and export sources that need an alpha channel, but apparently no matter what container I use. source record just doesn't support transparency.

so my next best option is to use source record on a source that has aa green background and then create a layer on top of that which then removes the layer so it appears transparent in obs.

however its not your typical chroma keying, its taking the green color value and using that as the alpha

i guess the question is if anyone knows how to solve either the exporting multiple sources in a container that supports transparency OR a plugin that turns green into alpha

[oblique badger]

but like, not straight keying green as full transparency. like turning increasing levels of green into higher levels of transparency

[fossil wyvern]

where are you keying it in?

[oblique badger]

where? like the filters section?

[fossil wyvern]

in what program

you are recording video in obs, and then you want to use it with transparency somewhere

transparency in premiere pro and im trying to record the gamepay, facecam and chat all as seperate sources but the chat and facecam exports need to have an alpha channel

[fossil wyvern]

I'll be able to explain in greater detail later if needed, but this plugin should enable you to transfer the transparency of one source to another, by using source 1 as an alpha mask for source 2.

You can use this to transfer the transparency of the source you are recording onto a full white color source, which when put over a black background, and recorded effectively gives you a black-to-white video of source 1's alpha, which you can then use in an editor as an alpha composition to set the first source's recording alpha channel correctly

Hi, my Stream Deck plugin isn't working anymore. All the tutorials tell me to go to the OBS folder via ProgramData and then to the plugins folder. However, only the shader-cache folder is displayed in the obs-studio folder, even though I have installed a plugin. Where else could the plugins folder be?

don't even have a data folder

Update the streamdeck software and plugin. This wouldn't be done from your plugins folder so it doesn't matter where it currently is.

[wraith peak]

So I've seen this one plugin(I think it is at least) that let's the viewer pick a gif or media and pick a location for it to show up on stream. What is that?

[fossil wyvern]

not a plugin, Tangia browser source + twitch integration can do that, some other service might too

[wraith peak]

ahhh, danke <3

so is there anything that can do that using OBS?

[fossil wyvern]

yes, tangia

[wraith peak]

oh idk why I thought it was like

its own stream elements thing

or something

[fossil wyvern]

it's a combo of a twitch integration on twitch itself that lets viewer control what/where to send stuff, and a browser source in obs that displays it

[wraith peak]

ah

also you know the thing you helped me out with before? As it turns out, webp stills causes vtube studio to freeze up :') even if the transparency is fixed

so I'm back to square one but I think if I can get this to work, I got a solution

if tangia can play media sources and allow the viewer to select where it activates at least

[fossil wyvern]

yeah it does that too

[wraith peak]

sorry, didn't wanna clog this with non-OBS related questions

But do you happen to be familiar with tangia?

[fossil wyvern]

technically this is for tools, so includes stuff like that, I have done a bit, what are you wondering about?

[wraith peak]

It almost feels... too easy? So, I add the webm as a custom interaction, select as spot selection, and from there it looks ready to go but I don't see it showing up under my channel points OBS side

[fossil wyvern]

did you add the tangia browser source in obs?

[wraith peak]

aye and it does play

but in this list on OBS it doesn't show

[fossil wyvern]

if you're looking for it in the channel points redemtions in chat it doesn't go through that

[wraith peak]

oh

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, it is done through the tangia panel on twitch

you need to add the extension to your channel

[wraith peak]

Is there a way I can see how that looks on the viewer's side?

without going live?

[fossil wyvern]

did you add the extension as in-player or as a panel?

[wraith peak]

yeah

[fossil wyvern]

which of the two

in-player only shows when stream is active, panel always shows

[fossil wyvern]

then go on your channel page it'll be there

tho I don't see it so you might not have added it as a panel

[wraith peak]

would the inplayer just be a small bunch of icons on the stream?

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, it's more practical for the viewers imo, but doesn't work for testing

[wraith peak]

gotcha, just wondered cuz the idea of scrolling down to activate it sounds iffy for my use case lol

okay I see it

[fossil wyvern]

yee, set it as panel to test, then set ti back as a component for the actual stream

[wraith peak]

oooh so if it's the panel it uses that as a pseudo screen to select where

but if it's the other you use the actual stream to do it

I c

[fossil wyvern]

no, you still place it on a pseudo screen there, but at least you don't have to scroll down

[wraith peak]

ahh

now, is it possible to make these using channel points instead of bits?

[fossil wyvern]

some stuff can be made to be channel points but I don't remember if all can

[wraith peak]

hmm

[wraith peak]

I am

so awestruck right now

at how easy this is

LMAO

[fossil wyvern]

tangia is honestly a pretty good tool for such stuff

[wraith peak]

I've been digging into code, html, css, full fledged programs just trying to find a way to play a video where the viewer wants it

and all I needed

was tangia

[fossil wyvern]

well made by competent people, and they are pretty responsive on support too

[wraith peak]

I am my own worst enemy lmao

so, I've turned on channel points and it does now show under OBS channel points, and even pops up as a reward

but now it's being used in a fixed position? or is that just a limitation of being offline and unable to test it via stream on?

[fossil wyvern]

oooh right I forgot it does that, sorry all the people I know don't really use it with channel points

[wraith peak]

ahhh

[fossil wyvern]

no I think this is a limitation of the channel points UI

[wraith peak]

gotchha

hm

welp, I'm still stuck then to a degree lol

Related to my other question: #audio-support message

I'm thinking about using OBS to run an upcoming stage show with video playback elements. The show computer will be plugged into a projector for video and a mixer for audio out to the main PA. We'll have several video clips, and an animated idle screen looping when no video clips are playing.

My initial thought was to put each of the media clips on a scene by themselves, set them all up to monitor, and run a program projector out to the HDMI projector display. Then set up each of the clip scenes to automatically transition back to the idle scene on media playback finish, using Advanced Scene Switcher.

Is there any existing plugin where one can build up a rundown or cue sheet of scenes and trigger them in order? With the solution proposed, it should be possible to do by hand, but I worry about losing my place in the show in the heat of the moment (first time running a whole show, video and audio, solo).

If not, I may take a crack at throwing one together, basically you set up a list of scenes and then "start the show" and it'll keep track of which scene you're on, then on button click or keybind press, switch to the scene with the given transition (also programed on the cue sheet).

If I build my own, I'm wondering if it makes more sense to just use obs_transition_start() to go straight to the scene, or to force OBS into studio mode and use obs_frontend_set_current_preview_scene(), obs_frontend_set_current_transition(), and obs_frontend_preview_program_trigger_transition(). Does loading the scene as a preview have any impact on playback performance (i.e. does it cause media sources to be pre-loaded?) Or would they be loaded in memory anyways? I assume it depends on how the specific media source is configured, so would using the studio mode approach be a more generally applicable solution?

Is there any existing plugin where one can build up a rundown or cue sheet of scenes and trigger them in order?
If it were me, I'd do something like find a streamdeck with enough buttons (or use it as an excuse to buy the rackmount one) and step through them that way, makes it easy to see at a glance where I am, and what's next.

Though adv-ss actually has a function that's basically "step through this list of scenes, in order" that probably does almost exactly what you want.

[stoic ice]

Apologies if this is the wrong channel but I was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way to share a remote debugging remotely. Trying to help someone with their browser sources but don't want to go down the full remote access of their PC route

[hard jay]

Not really, no.

Discord screen sharing is probably a better middle ground.

[fossil wyvern]

there is a way, which is to forward the port to their router, get their IP, and connect to it like that, but yeah, at this point remote access is easier

(or talking them through it yeah)

[hard jay]

(and I would strrongly advise against allowing any random person direct access to a browser source on your PC with zero authentication from a security perspective, if it even connects from a non-localhost IP in the first place)

[stoic ice]

Thanks for all that info, guess I'll go write a dodgy script to proxy shit over an ssh tunnel or something

[fossil wyvern]

why oh why

[hard jay]

teamviewer is like, 5 minutes to set up, heh

[fossil wyvern]

and discord probs even less

[stoic ice]

they don't want to give us access to the entire PC during streams which makes sense to me

[fossil wyvern]

you need to do that while they're streaming?

[stoic ice]

That's the only time we see issues with the browser sources

[fossil wyvern]

tried smth like bandwidth test stream or similar?

[fossil wyvern]

(also just to check, you are aware there now needs two separate command line arguments to be able to access remote debugging?)

figured you likely know, but since it's a recent change, better check

[hard jay]

What exactly is the problem they're having? Maybe best to start there as someone might know a fix for it before spending a bunch of effort doing cursed troubleshooting methods, heh

[stoic ice]

I'm well aware of that, I've used it a lot to debug this we are seeing locally but can never get it to trigger locally

streamers browser source just dies randomly

so need the console logs to see if it is an SDK we are using or something else

[fossil wyvern]

ouki, just checking

[fossil wyvern]

you checked their ram usage when that happens?

[stoic ice]

I'll get them to check it before refreshing next time

[fossil wyvern]

specifically, have them start task manager before stream, and when it crashes, check if that correlates to full ram or smth similar

[stoic ice]

Thank you once again

[hard jay]

I think you can grab the debug.log from the browser source after the fact as well?

I forget if we disabled that or not, worth checking.

ah, maybe not anymore.

should be able to turn that on with launch flags but I don't recall off the top of my head

[fossil wyvern]

I don't think it's being disabled, but it's only the log severity fatal iirc?

[hard jay]

That might be it.

[glass hornet]

i need help with my obs pretty please

can anyone help me please

[oblique yew]

If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!

[carmine viper]

@vestal ferry don't advertise here

[devout thistle]

im not sure if this is the correct channel, but i thought its the closest.

if i had an app, which could produce video frames (imagine something similar to vtube studio)
and i wanted to put the output of that app into obs, but i dont wanna use game capture.
i am the one writing said app, so i have full control, and would like to use the output of that app as an "overlay" kinda in obs, so transperency should be supported.

how would i best do that for minimum latency ?
i considered using srt, or RTSP, but both have WAY too much altency for my needs. i need it instant, both apps are already running on my pc, best case i would just feed it over using unix sockets or similar. it does not need to go over the network, or anything.

[carmine viper]

most vtube stuff uses spout so maybe that

[devout thistle]

yes i knew of that, and i should have mentioned im on linux, and since spout is made for windows, i dont wanna rely on some hacky way of getting that to work

[fossil wyvern]

with transparency on linux, it might be a bit complex

besides vk-capture I'm not sure anything else can do that

(I'm assuming you mean vkcapture when you say "game capture" on linux)

[fossil wyvern]

what's the specific reason you don't want to use vkcapture?

[devout thistle]

i wanna eventually run the app on a second machine in the same network, and i wanted a solution i could do on same pc aswell as on the second pc feeding into mine. second oen doesnt have a display tho

[untold jay]

Does obs-ndi exist on Linux?

[fossil wyvern]

right, so spout wouldn't work for that either, spout is same-machine.
Two possibilities if you want to have alpha:

• DistroAV using the NDI protocol
• Beam

Beam is far more recent and, as far as I know has only been implemented as an obs-to-obs protocol, but I don't think there's a technical impossibility to implement it in something else than obs.
NDI is an existing protocol, but afaik is still a bit dodgey on alpha for some stuff, more than beam is.

[fossil wyvern]

no because it's called distroav :3

[devout thistle]

oh tahnk you for the direction

i appriciate

[fossil wyvern]

but if I'm being honest don't get too hung up on alpha, and don't forget the possibility of a good ol chroma key

it dosn't work always too well for all cases, but it's a whooole lot less headache

[visual cipher]

Hello, I have this plug in, but its not working

[obsidian agate]

!multirtmp try using Aitums instead

[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/

[visual cipher]

Is that better, is the set up similar?

[obsidian agate]

Better UI overall in my opinion

[visual cipher]

How do I download it?

[visual cipher]

I found It

[obsidian agate]

!aitum They also have their own support server for their plugins and services

[oblique yew]

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

[visual cipher]

Ok, do they explain how to set it up?

Im trying to find instructions

[obsidian agate]

You can ask over there, or check their website. The plugin itself should be fairly straightforward with how it is designed

[visual cipher]

How do I get it into obs?

They're closed lol

[hallow vale]

Are you on Windows?

[visual cipher]

YeahI watched a yt video, try to figure out the vertical canvas thing now

[hallow vale]

Did you get the plugin installed then?

[visual cipher]

Yeah, and I did all the keys, and just did the vert canvas, I think Its set up now, now to find out if it'll actually work

[visual cipher]

Do I need to have a main stream key? Or just the keys in the dock?

[hallow vale]

I believe you do, in order to start the streams all at once.

[visual cipher]

So what would that be?

[visual cipher]

When I had the other multiport, I had youtube as my main key, but It would connect anout 1/3 of the time

[hallow vale]

Most people use the main OBS stream for a 16:9 stream, and the vertical canvas for 9:16 streams (like TikTok and YT shorts)

[visual cipher]

So I dont need the vertical?

I thought It was for something else

[hallow vale]

If all you streams will be the same aspect ratio, no need for the vertical canvas plugin. The one linked to you was the multistreaming one, not vertical

[visual cipher]

Ok thank you. What about the stream key?

[hallow vale]

Certain sites you can use Connect Account instead of stream keys, which is better. Twitch, YT, Restream. For sites you can't use the connect feature, that's where you use a stream key

[visual cipher]

Ok, Im not completely sure what that means

[hallow vale]

In the OBS Settings > Stream page, you can choose a site to stream to and click the Connect Account button if it's available. This makes it easier to stream to that site. If YT is one of the sites you want to stream on, I highly recommend connecting the account there.

To stream to more sites beyond that one, then you set them up in th Aitum Multistreaming dock

[visual cipher]

In destination?

And its saying my encoder isnt active

[hallow vale]

Whatever the very top option in that page is called, I don't have OBS in front of me.

Can you screenshot the encoder thing?

[hallow vale]

So this message says you need to start OBS' main stream so that it can reuse the same settings for the multistreams

That would be from the Start Streaming button. I don't see it in your pic, but it is cut off

[visual cipher]

Here's the streaming button menu

[hallow vale]

Have you enabled live streaming on your YT account at least 24 hours before now?

[visual cipher]

No, I never did, I had set it up and streamed a few times, I'm trying to find the streaming permissions now

[full oriole]

What happens if you have a short format and you put in a overlay from the stream labs plugin and it messes up all your sources?

[hallow vale]

If you have streamed on YT on this account before, then it's an error YT has sometimes. You gotta wait it out

[visual cipher]

Ok, I haven't been able to stream on yt in about a week

[full oriole]

how can you redo stuff, but made me have to restart my game so I cant just redo the overlay

[visual cipher]

It's not something I can enable?

[hallow vale]

It is, but it kinda sounds like you already had it enabled, since you streamed there before.

[visual cipher]

Google is saying to verify through phone call and wait 24hrs lol

[hallow vale]

Aw, dang. Haha

[visual cipher]

But there's no phone number, Obs just crashed/froze up so I restarted my computer.

So I can't stream at all then, it won't let me past the YouTube thing in "manage broadcasts",

Wtf now lol

[spiral ruin]

I think there are other ways to verify, not just phone. But it's all controlled by YT

[visual cipher]

When I close the error box, it closes the whole thing

Ok I disconnected the yt account

Jesus christ, I think I figured it out. Wrong youtube account

Ok im live!

Thanks for all the help

[weak escarp]

there is a new OBS resource called StreamPing.me in the wrong category. It is in "OBS Studio Plugins", but I think it should be in Tools

[hard jay]

Dangit, that's what I get for approving on my phone, heh. I'll fix it. Tomorrow.

[barren knoll]

So with this new version of OBS's handling of plugins now, it wants me to get a newer version of StreamFX, but that's paywalled now, where the version I have isn't (which does mean it's pretty old, but I still run my NES, so there's that). Is this forced deprecation in order to make us pay more?

[spiral ruin]

That's up to the plugin developer.

[barren knoll]

Whee.

[spiral ruin]

StreamFX decided that paywall was "necessary" a couple years ago. FreeFX is an option.

[fossil wyvern]

what are you using streamfx for?

[fossil wyvern]

it is not

[spiral ruin]

oh?

[fossil wyvern]

freefx hasn't been updated

[spiral ruin]

gotcha

[barren knoll]

I'm already milking old hardware here. And I'm not a very wealthy person. I just want my stuff to do what it was doing before. I think the main stuff I was using StreamFX for was some fairly basic shit like freeze-frames for certain memes like "We'll be right back!" or the MGS Game Over screen. I wasn't really going too ham with it. I might need to grab a log to show what all from StreamFX was actually being used. Been a while since I've been under the hood like this.

[fossil wyvern]

yup, do send a log, cause there's a bunch of stuff from streamfx that have equivalent free plugins

and if you do need streamfx there's other alternatives too

[barren knoll]

Half my plugins didn't load though.

How far back do I need to go?

[fossil wyvern]

doesn't matter can still see what filter/sources are in the SC

[barren knoll]

So current still works?

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[barren knoll]

WE HAVE TO AGREE TO A PRIVACY POLICY EULA TO UPLOAD LOGS NOW?!?!?!?!?!

That's a hard miss, OBS.

https://obsproject.com/logs/6COOPcORgYIrJ4Jo

[oblique yew]

AMD Ryzen 5 3550H - OK! / Radeon RX 560X - OK!

[fossil wyvern]

how in hell is that a miss???

[barren knoll]

Who else gets our data from that?

Ain't no one ever taking time to actually read a EULA before doing things.

[fossil wyvern]

there's now an actual legal text delining what obs can or cannot do with the data you're sending to their server

previously, you were sending that data without any constraint on what obs could do with it

[barren knoll]

Just kinda weird that it shows up there now, in a place where people aren't going to reasonably take the time to read anything because they're just trying to get stuff done

[fossil wyvern]

very obviously obs didn't do that, but prior to that EULA, obs would have been allowed to sell that data without much concern. Now there's something actually binding them

well, whenever you want to read it, it's easy to access

[barren knoll]

That's how corporations do it so they can sneak in unfavorable clauses. I hope you can at least see for the layman where that throws up huge red flags.

Anyway, back to my plugins

[fossil wyvern]

obs isn't hiding the agreement

[barren knoll]

I'm not saying they are. I'm saying the manner in which it's presented to us is the same as corporations who do do that kind of thing.

[fossil wyvern]

bit unsure what other proper way there would be

So, here's what you're using and their potential replacements:

• source mirror https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-clone.1632/
• blur filter : https://github.com/FiniteSingularity/obs-composite-blur

[barren knoll]

What else in my plugin list is deprecated then?

I'm gonna have to go back and do so much ground-level work again

I just wanted to fire up and go live today, for once.

Murphy's Law, however, had different plans, it would seem

The dialog OBS threw at me had the following:

• Audio Monitor
• Media Controls
• obs-plugin-countdown
• obs-roi-ui
• Scene Tree View
• Source Record
• StreamFX

[hard jay]

Just a note, that's not an EULA it's a privacy policy. Very different. We don't have an EULA because we're not a service.

[barren knoll]

I barely remember what sources have what filters anymore. There's just so much. Over 5 years worth of new scenes and sources and filters

[fossil wyvern]

obs_scene_tree_view which does not have any update, but iirc the streamup plugin has smth similar, source-record, obs-roi-ui, media-controls and audio-monitorwhich should work if updated

[fossil wyvern]

right, my bad

[barren knoll]

So I'm just boned on the scene tree view. Lovely. That was huge for me, with as many nested scenes as I have.

Namespaces can only do so much.

P A I N . I N T E N S I F I E S

[fossil wyvern]

did you read what I typed?

[barren knoll]

The implication being that I need to swtich to a different but similar plugin

Which means redoing ALL that work ALL over again

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, but that hardly qualifies as "boned"

[barren knoll]

I just wanted to fire my stuff up and go live today

That's clearly not happening now

Can't update the plugins through OBS itself, so a-hunting I go!

And I can't remember if I used an installer or zip or what to do these in the first place

Would be really nice if there was a way we could update plugins directly from within OBS.

Then we don't have to worry about mismatches

Like, I have no idea which of these I used before

[fossil wyvern]

it's in the works

[spiral ruin]

In development. Until then, manual updates like we have always done it.

[fossil wyvern]

sually the installer makes it easier unless you're running portable or a weird install

[barren knoll]

I'm guessing mine is filed under "weird"

[fossil wyvern]

why?

[barren knoll]

Shouldn't that be in my log, though?

[fossil wyvern]

shouldn't what be in your log?

[barren knoll]

Most anything I do is considered weird by most people. Guessing this is just another manifestation of that.

[barren knoll]

What type of install OBS is on, how plugins are installed, etc

[fossil wyvern]

I genuinely don't see any reason for you to believe your obs install is weird but you do you

[hallow vale]

It's portable. Took me a min to scroll back up

[fossil wyvern]

you're on a portable install, that is in the log, but obs cannot know how you installed plugins

[barren knoll]

Well, I don't remember how I did them before

That's kinda what I'm driving at

It's been a LONG time since any of this had to be addressed

And my shit's gonna be broken until I figure it all out again

[hallow vale]

!plugins

[oblique yew]

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

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

[barren knoll]

I've been under enough stress lately

[hallow vale]

Please don't pass that on to us helpers

[barren knoll]

Yes, I know where to generally look for plugins

[hallow vale]

The "how to install" part

[barren knoll]

What I'm saying is that I don't know if I used zips with drag 'n drop before, if I used installers, all that

It's been a very long time

[barren knoll]

I only say this to give a little context as to why things might be more frustrating for me.

[hallow vale]

You used zips, because you are in portable node. Which the guide covers. Less ranting, more reading and asking please.

[fossil wyvern]

you're on a portable install, as stated, usually plugins are installed with zips for that

[barren knoll]

Hey

[barren knoll]

I haven't gone sideways at any of you, please don't talk down to me.

[fossil wyvern]

we're not talking down, but this is info you have been previously given

[barren knoll]

I specifically mean the "less ranting" part

[fossil wyvern]

I understand this is stressful, but please take the time to slow down and read all we tell you

[barren knoll]

I'm trying

Besides, some people do better with someone at their side through the process because they don't have the confidence that they'll do it right on their own.

Like, in my case, I'm looking at all this that needs to be redone, and it's almost too much, where I want to just throw up my hands and be done with it. But I also do want to get this all fixed. So when those two desires come into conflict with each other, it puts me in a bit of a stun lock.

So if I'm asking for too much hand-holding through the process, I'm sorry, but that's just kind of what I need.

At least right now

And if I'm a bit verbose in explaining the disconnnects in my mind about any of this, that doesn't mean I'm "ranting". I'm trying to be as thorough as I can so I can get the most accurate help.

So what of those plugins are just 100% deprecated?

[fossil wyvern]

the scene tree plugin is unmaintained and won't load on latest obs, the others should be fine

[barren knoll]

I know I need to look for an alternative to StreamFX. Lame that I just can't continue to use the non-paywalled version, but I also understand it's old

[barren knoll]

That's one of my most critical ones, so what do I do to get it to load/run?

Or do I need to downgrade my OBS version?

[fossil wyvern]

I would advise moving to streamup, but if you're ok with staying indefinitely on an old version of obs, you can too

[barren knoll]

Streamup????

AIn't never heard of it.

What is it?

[fossil wyvern]

it's a plugin that includes similar unctionality as the scene-tree-view plugin (in fact, pretty much directly copied from it), as I mentionned earlier

[barren knoll]

Oh, god... It's one of those with their own site.

Wait, that's paid software?

Gross.

[fossil wyvern]

it is not

[barren knoll]

I mean, freemium is still pretty much paid software

[fossil wyvern]

that is not true but heh you do you

[barren knoll]

I just don't know how much confidence I can have that the things I need it to do aren't behind that freemium paywall

[spiral ruin]

only one way to find out.

[fossil wyvern]

I would have mentionned if they weren't

[barren knoll]

UGH, I have to give them my email address????

Ain't no other plugin making me do that

OBS itself dont' make me do that

[fossil wyvern]

also it literally tells you what their premium encompasses

you don't have to

[barren knoll]

I gotta figure out which stuff from StreamFX I was actually using. Whee.

[fossil wyvern]

I told you

[barren knoll]

You did?

scrolling intensifies

[fossil wyvern]

yes

[barren knoll]

It was really just those two? I thought scene-freeze was part of it, too. But thats' its own thing?

[fossil wyvern]

that's the freeze filter plugin, which is currently loading correctly

[barren knoll]

OK, whew....

So just to be sure, those go in:

[obs install location]\obs-plugins\64bit
Correct?

Shit. Maybe not. Looks like OBS's main directory????

[hard jay]

It depends on how the zip is structured.

[barren knoll]

The ones I've opened so far have two directories inside. Data and obs-plugins

That's OBS's top level, right?

[hard jay]

then yes, you just extract to the [obs install location] and it should sort itself out.

[barren knoll]

OK

OK, this countdown one is a little weird.

I just went into the first directory and grabbed the bin/data folders, dropped them in OBS's top level.

[runic oxide]

Unzip it where there's already a bin+data folder to merge into

[barren knoll]

Joy...

Why can't this stuff just work...

[runic oxide]

Which of those plugins is giving you issue?

[barren knoll]

Well, I know the vintage filter is used on a couple memes/channel point redeems

I honestly dont' know what the others even are.

[hard jay]

legacy stuff that you don't really need anymore as it's built in to OBS

[barren knoll]

Ah

[fossil wyvern]

the "incompatible" doesn't mean it's not working, just that streamup can't manage it, which is normal for builtin plugins (they're not the legacy stuff, they're the current one, it just shows it as third party because streamup likely didn't update their builtin list in a bit)

[barren knoll]

So then I should be done with all this now, right?

[hard jay]

ah, fair enough. I assumed it was all the really old Xaymar versions thereof, heh

[fossil wyvern]

is there something that doesn't work?

[fossil wyvern]

yee that's a fair assumption ^^

[barren knoll]

Well, I haven't had much opportunity to test just yet. I guess I just meant at first glance everything seems good? Just trying to make sure I'm looking at things correctly

[fossil wyvern]

yeah

[barren knoll]

Alright, then I'll kinda dink around and see what's up

[torn pier]

We have been using the elgato stream deck xl with OBS plugin to control much of our OBS interface using tactile buttons. We have been using hotkeys to control our cuts and fades instead of the OBS plugin function because there is less delay. After the last update to OBS, on macOS these two buttons only work while we are clicked into the OBS window. All other buttons and functions work fine. We have tried to ensure everything is er right in accessibility to ensure global hotkey access to both OBS as well as input monitoring. Any other suggestions to fix this issue. It is relatively vital because we use OBS with the elgato and have someone else using the mouse and keyboard for other tasks at the same time. Any help is appreciated.

nvm i got it

Hi

[calm river]

Actually, not really. been years on of improvement. Features that are experimental are labelled as such 🙂

[fossil wyvern]

I'm unsure on which part you are reacting exactly?

[calm river]

Sorry it was a message way older thant i thought 😄 That was about the NDI. and beam developement status and reliability

[fossil wyvern]

yee I got that, but like which of my statements were you exactly saying "not really" to?

[calm river]

been trying to monitor anything about DistroAV/ NDI to see where we can make it easier for users ,but a large majority of the recent "i can't do X" is because people blindly follow the ChatGPT answers:

[fossil wyvern]

because if something in that was inaccurate I'd rather know what is

[calm river]

that it was "dodgey", wan't sure if you mentioned that for Beam or DistroAV 😄

Beam, no idea. DistroAV, is reliable so far ( beside experimental features or stuff we don't control (like the network))

[fossil wyvern]

oh, that was specifically for the alpha channels in NDI, which last I checked (which, granted was 6 months ago) there were a few issues with it

Not, NDI in general, specifically using it with alpha channels

[calm river]

ahaha yeah Alpha is a pain, Main issue is the lack of documentation on how to use is. Upcoming release shoul dbe more obvious.

[fossil wyvern]

yeah alpha, in general, is a bitch XD

[calm river]

Speaking of which : https://github.com/DistroAV/DistroAV/pull/1261 << This especially about one way to deal with alpha. with low/lowest quality settings in DistroAV.
In high settings, alpha should works (as long as the pixel format on both sending and receiving is set properly. (that is quite a few "if")

[potent vault]

Yeah but this one requires the corresponding PR to get merged on the OBS side, too

and I'm not sure when they'll get to it / consider it sadly

[vital condor]

Why might win-capture-audio v2.2.3-beta not work on version 30.1.2? Everything was working, but I did something and now the audio isn't being captured anymore.

[spiral ruin]

Last update to that plugin was Jul 2022. Since then, OBS has received a few major updates. The plugin is no longer compatible with the "current" version of OBS

[carmine viper]

the plugin isn’t maintained so it isn’t recommended to use it…any reason you aren’t using the built in application audio capture sources?

[vital condor]

I have OS 30.1.2 and everything was working perfectly recently (for many years until yesterday). When I decided to play Battlefield 6, I did something and everything stopped working.

🥹

Plugin on top - desktop below (and the top one stopped capturing sound)

[spiral ruin]

see the second reply to you. There isn't a version of the plugin compatible with OBS 32.

[vital condor]

It's very convenient for playing on toxic GTA 5 servers) I can remove Telegram \ Discord \ etc. Don't create 10 tabs

[carmine viper]

they are probably confused by your replies because they have mentioned twice they are using OBS 30.1.2 not 32

[spiral ruin]

thanks, I definitely misread that

[vital condor]

yep i love 30.1.2
Everything worked fine yesterday. The question is, what could I have done to make the system stop working?

Could I have broken some service or process?

[carmine viper]

not sure, we don’t really have a way to troubleshoot it considering the plugin isn’t maintained

!ac I recommend this method instead

[oblique yew]

To capture only audio from specific programs:

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

[violet laurel]

how do i fix this

[spiral ruin]

Fill the space with content, or don't use an ultrawide canvas with 16:9 content on it.

[violet laurel]

is there a way i can just reset my whole obs

[spiral ruin]

OBS Menu Profile > New, for settings
OBS Menu Scene Collection > New, for scenes and sources.

[violet laurel]

i don't under stand obs at all

[spiral ruin]

Do you understand the Menu labels across the top of OBS? That's why I am referring to when I say "OBS Menu Profile", etc.
Is this your first time using OBS? What's the issue?

[violet laurel]

its not my first time i have used for streaming for a while but i never had this issue with my chat and youtube panle being gone

[spiral ruin]

!docks
check this first. And make sure your YT account is connected to obs in the OBS Settings - Stream section.

[oblique yew]

Docks in OBS can be managed from the Docks menu in the main OBS window.

You can toggle docks on and off, or lock or unlock docks to prevent moving and editing, as well as add custom browser-based docks here.

You can also reset the UI from this menu to return your docks to their original state (Docks > Reset Docks).

[violet laurel]

i can open chat is the fact that it keeps wanting to go to the top of obs but i want it on the sides

[spiral ruin]

!s
That dock is free-floating. If you are having issues to connect it across the top of OBS, head to a support channel for assistance with it.

i can connect it to the top i want it connected to the sides

Yes, get help for that in a support channel;

[violet laurel]

[fossil wyvern]

@loud wedge hey dear, you think it'd be possible to use obs_frontend_get_last_replay to have the saved replay name as a macro property of Replay Buffer saved?

[loud wedge]

Of course!
Build should be done in a few minutes:

I'm trying to get this plugin running on my OBS, even as admin it does prompt the error 🙁 File: https://github.com/royshil/obs-urlsource/releases

[oblique yew]

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

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

[mossy lintel]

You have two options:
a) use old version of OBS
b) contact plugin developer to make plugin compatible with new version of OBS

[fossil wyvern]

you're on version 32?

[fierce gale]

affirm

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, that plugin's development is stalled, you'll need to revert to latest 31

[fierce gale]

I assume so, I left a not on github, seems like few have the issue

how do i get the reactive images on obs?

[lofty vector]

And hope they do it

[vapid charm]

@fierce gale While the above bits by the others are correct on what to do there was someone nice enough to make a fork and update it to v32.

The one person that got it initially "requested" said it works up a bit but I've not used it yet so no clue.

https://github.com/bee-v3/obs-urlsource/releases

[fierce gale]

oh nice, thanks for the hint

[fossil wyvern]

oh ty, had forgotten that one

[timber ginkgo]

I want to enable a Blur filter with some fade animation. I know this is possible with Move
But is it also Possible to use only 1 Move action to Toggle the Blur filter with a fade animation?
Currently i just made it work with 2 seperate Move Actions

[covert dirge]

Hello, good morning. Looking at options for stream avatars for stream chatters. Is "Stream Avatars" the best/only option? Anyone use a different stream avatar plugin?

[royal fiber]

Hello dear developers, is there a plugin that can create a delay effect that also affects the audio tracks?

There is the Dynamic Delay plugin, but it can only delay the screen, not the audio.

[spiral ruin]

What's the goal?

[royal fiber]

The idea is to create a delay in competitive games like Counter-Strike, World of Tanks, or PUBG without having to end the stream. For example, I start the stream 1-2 hours beforehand to warm up. As soon as a tournament starts, I want a delay without restarting the stream. Often, the viewers leave after a restart, and I want to avoid that.

[spiral ruin]

Not much of a way around that without running additional streaming hardware or portable installs of OBS.
Main stream setup > no delay, captures everything as you like until comp time.
Then you switch to capturing the game on a portable install of OBS, then capture that output into the stream setup without stopping that stream.

delay is added on the portable OBS output

[royal fiber]

As I said, there's the Dynamic Delay plugin from Exeldro that can do exactly that without an additional PC or OBS instance. However, it can't apply a delay to audio tracks.

It's older, but it still works.

[obsidian agate]

Which is why you use the other method that CAN do both

[royal fiber]

Not everyone has the option of running multiple PCs or something like that.

[obsidian agate]

Not multiple pcs, just a second copy of OBS in portable mode

[spiral ruin]

"additional streaming hardware ***or ***portable installs of OBS"

@royal fiber the basic logic goes like this:
You want a stream that has your normal content and ability to interact with your audience with little delay. You can capture the game and send it from OBS (call it the stream OBS).
But when you need to have delay version of what you capturing, you stop capturing the game on the stream OBS, and start capturing it on the portable install of OBS (call it game delayed OBS), then capture that portable output into stream OBS, without every stopping the stream.

!portable

[oblique yew]

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.

[supple flicker]

using source record on display capture with desktop audio but then it doesnt record my mic how can i have my mic as a seperate file of just audio and no recording

[fossil wyvern]

obs doesn't output audio-only files, any reason you're not using the tracks to separate desktop audio and mic?

[supple flicker]

i am

mic is on 2 desktop on 1

[fossil wyvern]

do you actually record those tracks?

[supple flicker]

ima be completely honest ik how to set it up but idk how it records the tracks

[oblique yew]

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

[supple flicker]

oh nice ty

[hallow vale]

Source record only creates single tracks in the recordings, but your main OBS recording can have multiple tracks

[supple flicker]

ohhh ok i see so if i remove the seperate audio and just do source record for the recording for editing and im good?

cause i had this on

[fossil wyvern]

source record cannot record more than one track, use the main recording for tht

[supple flicker]

ty and uh for some reason i keep hearing windows make a noise everytime i press my hotkey to record

idk what thats about

i just tested now and it didnt do it so idk whats happening lol but ty

oh its when i end it

[stray snow]

hmm, is there a fisheye correction filter for OBS about?

specifically circular fisheye, so I can set some expansion factors to get a potentially trimmed corrected view

likewise a chromatic aberration correction filter

hmm, apparently there is a lua script with a defishing shader though a bit basic one - it would only really work for a diagonal fisheye not circular one I think?
