[cinder remnant]

yes O.o and it works totally fine

i just changed the language

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, the core issue here is that for some reason the transition doesn't show when it's in german

that's what I was saying, you'll be able to switch back to german once you created the transition you need, but you'll need to be in english to actually create new transitions

this is evidently a bug so I'll try to see what's happening and fix it, but in the meantime you have this workaround

[cinder remnant]

oooh i see. Naaa it's totally fine havong my obs in english, i was just to lasy to change it hahah

Thank you so much for your time and afford!!! ❤️

[fossil wyvern]

ty for bringing a bug to attention

[fossil wyvern]

sorry, there was no bug actually I'm just blind, it's "Verschieben"

[cinder remnant]

Oh i didn't thought it would translate...I'm so sry xD

[fossil wyvern]

no, no, I really should have paid more attention, mb

Hi, i'm having some problems with the move plugin from Exeldro.
It doesnt wanna pick the relative position of my sources anymore.
I tried deleting and re-adding the move filter, but nothing works.
Anyone know what might be going on?

[wary lake]

Hello wanted to get some help with this plugin branch output plugin

Using that with the goxlr it keeps recording all audio no matter what maybe i'm not separating it correctly. Wanted to see if someone can please take a look. I can share my screen or something. I would like to make it separate if i wanted to edit my voice louder than the game or system audio or vice versa. Hoping to maybe share screen and talk with someone who is knowledgeable and willing to help with this plugin and my setup.

[graceful viper]

Hello~! I am having issues with a VTS reverb pluggin not appering in OBS despite being downloaded, would anyone be able to help?

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio supports many VST 2.x plugins which can be applied to your audio sources as a filter. For more information, see the VST 2.x Plugin Filter guide.

[stiff cedar]

@fossil wyvern i have a question about a macro sequence i want to setup via advanced scene switcher, do i post here or can someone advise where i should post

[untold jay]

@stiff cedar Yes, ask here.

[stiff cedar]

ok so im trying to set a macro sequence. i record while i stream but i want to have it split my recordings and add the current game name/category into the save file. i thought i had it setup correct but i can add a screenshot of my macros if someone can assist

[untold jay]

@stiff cedar By split, do you mean the manual split feature in obs-studio, or the chapter marker feature? Regardless, both can be set as a hotkey in settings>hotkeys. As for writing the title of the current game.. that's going to be more difficult, I don't think there's anything pre-made for this, I'd probably sort things manually.

[stiff cedar]

Chiyo if possible could i set aside some time wth you or someone else to get in a vc? it would make it easier to explain what im trying to do and i can share my screen

[untold jay]

@stiff cedar You can use screenshots, you can also export macros from the right-click menu in adv-ss.

[daring dawn]

Hey all,

Ive noticed that there are times where the move filter plugin calls its .destroy, which in turn calls lobs_filter_get_parent(), only for it to result in a null exception

I was wondering if media sorces becoming inactive could result in the source/scene associated with the filter becoming destroyed?

[silk schooner]

Hey, I made a basic plugin to apply a filter.
How could I get the last output, and send it back to my filter?

[olive raptor]

Hey all! i was wondering if there is a way to set up a "live" instant replay that plays on stream AND also saves the replay on my computer so i can make clips out of them? The way i have it set up now the Replay has to be the same file name and overwrites the last replay this way i dont keep showing the same 15second cut, this is a problem because my previous replay is always overwritten and i cant see any of the older ones. If i just go back to the default file name in advanced my LIVE replay will only show the same replay set in the source.

[harsh dust]

Hi, I just had an issue where I was attempting to use obs_filter_get_target and instead of getting the target of the filter, it was getting the ID of a filter that didn't have the affiliated plugin installed (due to switching over to a different system). Is there a way to avoid that in the future? (Other than reinstalling, would like a general fix for avoiding the problem altogether)

This doesn't appear to be a specific OS issue, where do general issues go?

[wanton finch]

👋 Hi everyone,

I’m sharing a revision I’ve made for the BongoCat plugin for OBS. Most versions available online are pre-configured for QWERTY layouts, which is a headache for anyone using an AZERTY setup.

Key Features:

• Native AZERTY Support: Keys are correctly mapped to match AZERTY keyboard layouts (ZQSD). (Note: Currently working on the specific assets for Q and W, but the mapping is functional!)
• Optimizations: Minor tweaks for better stability and input responsiveness.
• Ready-to-use: Designed to save you the hassle of manual configuration.

Check it out on GitHub: 👉 https://github.com/Eclipes2/Bongobs-Cat-Plugin-Azerty

Feel free to review it or use it !

[harsh topaz]

@merry plank

You should use this channel, not #development

Also you can get 16 seconds recordings with Source Record, but if you press it before another 16 seconds have passed, it will make a clip that is the length of duration since you last saved.

So if you set it to 16 seconds, saved a clip => 16 seconds, then saved again 5 seconds later, the 2nd clip will be 5 seconds.

Set Keyframe interval (seconds, 0=auto) to 0 (or 1, which I think it is by default, at least with twitch, if you select 0)

Alternatively, at the trade off for larger file size, if you need smoother playback capabilities (like scrubbing through footage in a timeline) you can set Custom Encoder Options to keyint=XX (for example: keyint=15)

[merry plank]

To clarify, I have installed Scource record and set a buffer duration of 5 seconds, so how can I get clips of 16 seconds? That doesn't make sense to me.

I have tried the keyframe several times. 1-2 seconds didn't help at all.

The length does not come from the interval between the last saves, but it seems as if there is an internal timer running for 16 seconds and the recording starts again every 16 seconds. So if I press “Save recording” in the first 3 seconds of the recording, I get a 3-second clip. At 10 seconds, I get a 10-second clip, and so on.

Even the keyframes don't change anything.

Do you think I should use a custom encoder instead of hardware encoding?

[harsh topaz]

If you set a buffer of 5, you can never get 16 seconds of footage since the buffer is only 5 seconds... If you want 16 seconds, set the buffer to 16 seconds?

It does not work how you think it works - If I'm understanding you right.

The clip will always save the duration of the buffer unless you haven't let it run for long enough.

You set it to 10 seconds. It saves the last 10 seconds. It runs constantly.

If you read up on keyframes, you can find out what it does - it does not do what you think it does.

Iirc basically just determines how many (I? or B)-frames there are in the video, so more reference frames - thus more data cost. It's good to have more if you're doing editing of video clips, for better playback.

It's a bit technical, but it has nothing to do with your recording length.

If you want multi duration clips, best I can think of is saving the Source Record clip in the longest duration you want (let's say last 30 seconds)

Then have some .bat scripts that grabs last file and depending on which bat scrip you run, it'll ffmpeg crop the file to whatever length of that 30 sec you want. So "Last 20 seconds, 10 seconds, 5 secs" etc.

[merry plank]

My goal is to stream a volleyball game and show a replay from the net camera. Unfortunately, Scorce Record on my laptop makes the lengths pretty random, despite the settings you mentioned.

On my much better PC, however, it stays pretty much within the 5 +- 2 sec interval

with the identical settings.

Could it also be due to the performance of the hardware?

[spiral ruin]

Screenshot the buffer settings.

[merry plank]

From the good PC

[spiral ruin]

Just need the one with the issue.

[merry plank]

from the Laptop:

[spiral ruin]

a 15 minute buffer needs more RAM.

[merry plank]

but ist noch aktiv?

[spiral ruin]

You have to deactivate the output before adjusting any settings.

[harsh topaz]

Why are you trying to save 15 minutes? That's not really "instant replay"

Also, the reason its off by 2 seconds from time to time is that you set "keyframe = 2s". So it picks closest 2s to save at. Just set it to 0.

[harsh topaz]

Wait, it says 5s which is checked, they're not actually doing 15m saving I think

[spiral ruin]

yeah, mein deutch ist schlect for technical names. And I didn't have source-record installed on my portable obs auf deutch.

[pliant drum]

anyone know this plugin?

is it a mod for streamkit overlay

[hard jay]

it probably just is streamkit overlay

you can customize it however you want

[pliant drum]

youre right lol

[pliant drum]

if anyone can find that exact one lmk

im trying to replicate it rn

but this css stuff is a little confusing for a chud like me

[dusky basin]

that's not streamkit it's fujitech's discord reactive

[peak linden]

Does anyone happen to know a plugin that lets me easily put up a question on screen to ask my audience? Like this.

The streamer from the screenshot is using Streamyard, so I assume she's using something in Streamyard. I was wondering if there's a similar thing for OBS.

Thanks for the help!

[dusky basin]

unless you are looking to replicate the exact design (which would require a browser source-based solution), you can just put a text source and change the text when desired no?

[peak linden]

Yeah, I was wondering if your suggestion would be the easiest/fastest, or if a browser source solution would be best, in which case I assume I'd need a plugin 😄
I may have found something, but it hasn't been updated since September 2024. Would that be a problem?
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/displays-questions-from-predefined-list-qna-tom-ellis-inspired.2012/

[dusky basin]

I don't immediately see why that wouldn't work

this script effectively automates setting the text source for you with predefined questions

the only reason that screenshot would require a browser-based solution is because of the background's rounded corners, which obs cannot itself do

without that (or other fancy design) it's just text

[peak linden]

Oh, I just found that SocialStream from vdo.ninja has a ticker. That's also great! I'm going to use that 😄
Thanks for thinking with me, @dusky basin

And not #windows-support

[barren anvil]

Any form of notification gng. But i already told you twice what i prefer

Does anyone know how to get Godot talking to OBS Nativly?

Im struggling to get it to work, and the suggested "obs-websocket-gd" is 2 years old and no longer works with Godot 4.6

If not Godot - can someone suggest a good programming language (for simpletons like me) to create a simple app that talks to OBS 🙂

[strong trellis]

python? Godot is more a game engine than a programming language

[muted pulsar]

I was hoping to avoid Python, I want to end up with a front end gui without having to rely in having pythin installed and running along side OBS and any other game.

[chilly isle]

LUA is also supported as scripting language | Frontend gui sounds more like a plugin with c++

[strong trellis]

C++ then

[muted pulsar]

I'll take a look at them both - thank you 🙂

[sturdy pumice]

hi chat

[muted pulsar]

I dont know what to do.

how do you create a simple UI window/widget in OBS?

literally for configuration input

[fossil wyvern]

what are you trying to do exactly?

[muted pulsar]

I just want a menu setting window like this:

or a dock like this:

I have googled till my fingers blead - and all I can find is hundreds of references to "obs-frontend-api" with litlerally zero examples of how to do it

[fossil wyvern]

to do what

are you writing a whole plugin?

[muted pulsar]

yes Im writing a plugin - I got it to work back end loverly. but I want a frount end config UI so I dont have to edit a file every time.

[fossil wyvern]

for a dock, you'd use obs_frontend_add_dock_by_id with a custom Qt widget
for a tools menu window, you'd use obs_frontend_add_tools_menu_item with a callback that opens the Qt window you want

actually obs_frontend_add_tools_menu_qaction is probs better for the second, mb

[muted pulsar]

I cannot get this to work though:

#include <obs-frontend-api.h>

[fossil wyvern]

in what way does it not work?

[muted pulsar]

When I build using VB studio - I get this:

cannot open source file "obs-frontend-api.h" identifier "obs_frontend_add_dock" is undefined identifier "OBS_DOCK_RIGHT" is undefined Cannot open include file: 'obs-frontend-api.h': No such file or directory

[fossil wyvern]

well, that sounds kinda self-explanatory

[muted pulsar]

lets pretend Im a child 😄

[fossil wyvern]

VS studio cannot find that header to include it

[muted pulsar]

I have tried (in the cmake file)

  belle-plugin
  PRIVATE
    OBS::libobs
    OBS::obs-frontend-api
    winhttp
)```

and I've also tried:

target_include_directories(
belle-plugin
PRIVATE
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/frontend
)

target_link_libraries(
belle-plugin
PRIVATE
OBS::libobs
winhttp

and in the main CPP file I ahve:

#include <obs-frontend-api.h>

but I cannot get it to build

[fossil wyvern]

did you check whether you atually had that file somewhere cmakes looks for it?

[muted pulsar]

Im building from the OBS-studio github

[fossil wyvern]

you mean in-tree?

[muted pulsar]

I dont know the terminology.
I basically cloned the repo. then added my plugin into plugins, and the run cmake --preset windows-x64 - then build in VBS.

the plugin works fine - but atempting to add the UI following things I found on the internet, I cant do it.

[fossil wyvern]

you looked or based yourself off the plugin template?

cause that's probably easier

[muted pulsar]

I've tried looking at that.

[fossil wyvern]

and?

cause ngl, its build system works well

[muted pulsar]

the guide on the template has nothing regarding UI creating other than the paragraph:

obs-studio: Describes the version of OBS Studio to use to build libobs (required to build plugins) and obs-frontend-api (required to build plugins that interact with the OBS Studio user interface)

There is no explination on how to use it or how to set it up.

I am about to try this:

if(ENABLE_FRONTEND_API)
  find_package(obs-frontend-api REQUIRED)
  target_link_libraries(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE OBS::obs-frontend-api)
endif()```

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, but the build system to correctly link the header is there

[muted pulsar]

aaand that failed... 🙁

  By not providing "Findobs-frontend-api.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
  project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "obs-frontend-api", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "obs-frontend-api"
  with any of the following names:

    obs-frontend-apiConfig.cmake
    obs-frontend-api-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "obs-frontend-api" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or
  set "obs-frontend-api_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above
  files.  If "obs-frontend-api" provides a separate development package or
  SDK, be sure it has been installed.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!```

[fossil wyvern]

you just copied that bit from the plugintemplate to your project?

beccause, if so, yeah no shit it don't work

please actually use the template

[muted pulsar]

Right I see - I think its because I might be using the internal OBS build model as a standalone plugin model

I would have thought frontend would be in the OBS-Studio repo though

[oblique yew]

@wise sentinel

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

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

[fossil wyvern]

it is, you're just not correctly including it

[muted pulsar]

I'll give the template route a go - thanks for your help @fossil wyvern - its really appreciated 💓

~~Ok. Im still hitting issues.
obs-plugintemplate is still using API's from 31

Im trying to get it to work in 32 but I cannot compile the 32 code using the obs-plugintemplate as it is missing API.

I cannot use the 31 API's as they have been changed or removed in 32~~

actually chuffed it works - and its fast.

[worn badger]

Would anyone mind helping guide me through creating an .iss file for creating an installer for my plugin? I read the guide on the GitHub and I am still fairly lost. I have never made an installer before.

I have tried using the Inno Setup GUI and I don't think it worked.

[worn badger]

I think I am figuring it out. I have it placing the files in the correct location. Went to just make the file on my own instead of using CMake

[fluid star]

Hope that somebody finds it helpful - zig version of input-overlay (linux only, but works on wayland).

[chilly isle]

I would suggest a different name or more suffix as only zig, so a Linux user get the idea, it is Wayland compatible?

Are you planning to add it in the obs resource "pool"? https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-post-a-plugin-read-here.23124/

[solar dust]

Just did a quick look, likely sandbox incompatible (once all holes are removed).

[chilly isle]

For now i would warn a user anyway for it, in the sense it is more for advanced user since you have to self build it and the configuration is more manual, if I get the readme correctly.

But it would be nice, when the obs project wait with closing the holes, until a portal way is available (if is a portal planned for the method)

I'm not aware of any sandboxing. Plugin simply spawns a new thread for each source, open a file that linux uses for input events and reads it - nothing more. OBS didn't even try to resist that (my obs is installed as system package on nix-os). I just assumed that, since original plugin uses third-party library for reading input events - I could do it as well. If there is a right, more future-proof way of doing this - feedback is welcome.

I guess I need to see if it works on flatpak? Never worked with flatpak before. But from that github discussion you linked - does filesystem=host mean that flatpak version of obs currently already gives me permission to read whole filesystem, but that will be removed later?

[fluid star]

I would suggest a different name or more suffix as only zig, so a Linux user get the idea
I honestly didn't understand what you mean by that. Project already named obs-input-overlay-zig and readme already states that it is a zig version and only works on linux (including wayland).
it is Wayland compatible
It works on wayland, but I didn't specifically tried to make it compatible. Wayland doesn't stop me from simply opening a file and reading it.
Are you planning to add it in the obs resource "pool"?
Maybe, idk. I wasn't even aware it existed).

[solar dust]

We officially support Flatpak and Ubuntu, and Flatpak has the biggest distro coverage.

So if a plugin uses a sandbox hole, it will break the moment we finally remove the hole.

If there is a right, more future-proof way of doing this
It's going to maybe sound harsh, but providing a sandbox-friendly method to enable out-of-focus key-logging is really low in priorities.
It's an edge-case too specific to OBS to have any kind of focus to develop.

does filesystem=host mean that flatpak version of obs currently already gives me permission to read whole filesystem, but that will be removed later?

From the link I given:

More documentation about them can be found in Flatpak documentation.

[chilly isle]

The thing is, that you have now two plugins who have a very similar name and the only divider is a suffix for the indication of a coding language who most user has no idea what that means and why that would be essential. So when they found both, they don't get what your plugin differs.

Support volunteers in #linux-support had a similar problem with obs-cli, respective we had to help the users. Where the AUR version point to the deprecated package (as also the first Google results) and you have to found the right github user, to get the working fork one. Instead of make something in the name obvious that is the modern fork who is compatible with the recent obs version.
(That is a worse example, since the name is 1:1 the same and so google tips was here hard)

I don't say you have to. It is only a observation.

[fluid star]

My thought process was - I don't really want to take ownership of original plugin, I simply want to fix one specific problem with it. Original plugin provide presets, tools to create layout, and, I believe, still have working gamepad on wayland. My plugin simply for users that want to have k&m overlay on wayland.
If I rename it to something completely different, it would sound like I want to make my own full-featured version which has nothing to do with the original.

[jade olive]

is there a plugin for time?

[carmine viper]

need that in my life desperately

but seriosuly, can you elaborate on what you mean?

[jade olive]

where the Real time would run while streaming and we can make it pretty- 24 hour or 12 hour?

[fossil wyvern]

so, like, a clock?

[jade olive]

yes

[fossil wyvern]

there's a script for that if you want that you can easily add in tools > script

Is it a VST 3 plugin?

[graceful viper]

YES!

[hallow vale]

OBS doesn't support VST3, but the atkAudio plugin will allow you use VST 3. Or if the plugin has a VST2 version, install that.

[dire atlas]

Hello everyone!

I am here to discuss a third-party tool I've been working on for almost 6 months that I plan to releases soon. I have some sample shots here from it to give a sneak peak, but I also want to ask from actual OBS users what kind of features would be the most helpful when it comes to configuring OBS and/or content creation in general.

My program will offer an agenetic assistant that will help in all matters of setup/configuration/management for content creation. I am studying IT in university so this project has been a labor of love

[sharp dock]

Hey, New to OBS and not sure on what to do but, I do need it for work. I downloaded gamemaster to use as a scoreboard client. But dont know how to put it into OBS. HELP TIA

[fossil wyvern]

did you follow the instructions on this page?

[foggy idol]

Heyooo, bit of a random question so apologies if this is not the right channel.

I've built an app that bundles a portable OBS bin and works with it over websocket. Before I share it with anyone for some early testing, is there anything other than GPLv2 that I should know about when it comes to distributing a portable OBS binary? Tryna do some diligence before I do any real testing 😅 I've included GPLv2 and a link to OBS source in my app runtime.

Would love any feedback, thxthx

[hard jay]

You're compiling OBS in to an executable?

[foggy idol]

I'm not no, just including the portable binary for now

I was thinking of going down that road later, but we'll see if the app is worth the trouble lol

[hard jay]

Can you be more specific? I don't understand what you mean by "the portable binary" as that is not how OBS works, and you need to ship a whole heck of a lot more than just the binary for OBS to work.

[foggy idol]

Ah my bad. I'm including an archive of OBS studio that my app then unzips/runs in portable mode. Idk why I was saying "portable bin" that's just confusing

[hard jay]

Is there a specific reason you're shipping a build of OBS instead of just letting the user use an existing version of OBS? And does your application work without OBS?

From what it sounds like, you're dangerously close to hitting "combined work" here which would mean that your app would be required to be licensed under the same license OBS is.

I would strongly discourage trying to ship OBS with your application, and just use an existing installation if found. If there's any specific setup or directions that need to be done to OBS for your application to work, you can write a guide or provide some kind of onboarding in your application.

But there should be no difference in just using any running version of OBS when it comes to websockets.

[foggy idol]

Awesome okay appreciate this guidance a lot 👍

One reason I was wanting to do a separate OBS runtime than any user-installed version was that I have some scenes/sources that my app sets up in order to work, and I didn't wanna muddy up someone's OBS setup, at least w/o permission

But yeah, def am better trying to understand "combined work" vs. "mere aggregation" so I def appreciate the input vvv much

[carmine viper]

you can always have your software drop your scene collection file in with the users existing ones and then have it swap to/from it via websocket, it could be pretty unintrusive if done correctly.

or just use CreateSceneCollection and create the scenes/sources on the fly

[foggy idol]

Oh right! Okay just to confirm I understand:
I'm already doing source setups on the fly atm, but I'm just using the default scene. So if my app was talking to an existing install, I'd just keep my app-specific sources under a dedicated scene and that would keep things neatly organized

[carmine viper]

a dedicated scene collection but yes

[foggy idol]

coolcool ok thx again for the help ya'll

[glossy hatch]

Is Transition Table the best one for using different stingers for different scenes? Or have a better option?

[carmine viper]

yes

[worn badger]

Hello! I have a weird question about how versions work when updating your plugin. I have changed the number in the buildspec.json file and after building I found the new number inside the CMake cache, and plugin-support.c file and all the other places I found the version number looks correct. However, when I uninstall and reinstall, OBS reports the version number on load as the original version. Is there a different place I need to change it?

[carmine viper]

sorry for the basic question but have you confirmed the plugin file that is loading in OBS is actually the updated one?

because no, it should just be buildspec.json

[worn badger]

That's ok, you were right. I was certain I built it with the new version number, but I must have missed it! Back to rebuilding the installer and uploading again.

Sorry to bother!

[humble olive]

hey guys, i got a plugin and i was wondering if it could to what i thought it did and i got put here.
so i got a plugin named "face tracking", but instead of doing what i needed it to do, which is to like attach things to my face, it just zooms in to my face. Do yall know whether i can do that or do i head to the dev

yall think you can help?

[hard jay]

You'd need to contact the developer to see if that specific plugin can do what you want, but it's unlikely.

Face tracking implies just that, it tracks the face.

I've seen the effect done before, but I don't know of any off the top of my head that do object tracking outside the vtuber space.

[carmine viper]

the move plugin can do that with the NVIDIA filter if you have an RTX GPU

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

[humble olive]

gtx 1650😔

[grave fjord]

not supported.
only searies 20+ is supported by nvidia ar adks
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/

[humble olive]

thanks i will contact the dev

[humble olive]

well yeah i understand that's why i sent the 😔

[grave fjord]

the obs-face-tracker does track face without a gpu.
but it can't track points in your (features) in your face like the nvidia ar sdk does (which the move plugin supports)

[warm glacier]

Looking for a reliable way to stream live with two cameras and apply a real-time eye-only blur (not full face) with automatic tracking — is that possible when there is a movement and two ppl?
And what about full-face?

[spiral ruin]

Stream it in real-time, with those effects? Might be possible, but it will be very resource intensive.

[neon flower]

I seem hope the component is ready on

[fossil wyvern]

@weak escarp you think vertical canvas/stream suite could log the scene/source setup on load, the same way the main canvas does? it'd be helpful for support

[weak escarp]

[fossil wyvern]

[grave fjord]

@latent loom
here is the repo
https://github.com/obzessed/obs-super-suite
(Still in dev)
DM me for a windows build if you don't wanna try it out quick.
Any feedback is appreciated.

[latent loom]

This looks quite nice, how does it work though, does it take the audio from the source with that type and name and then outputs it onto the specified channel?

[grave fjord]

Yes

We have 64 channels per canvas.

1-7 are reserved by obs.

We can use 8-64.

DSK uses channels 8-64 tho.
(Beware DSK might override you're channes if you set in the starting range, prefer end channels for safety)

You can even override the original reserved channels (2-7) which are used for the desktop audio and mix/aux.
(If you dont use those)

When channel set to none.
It's a dangling source assigned to no canvas.

[fossil wyvern]

which se.live does because they still can't count channels

[grave fjord]

I need to listen to channel overrides in my plugin to make the user aware of channel overrides when they happens.

I originally made it to pin an asio source to global.

Then a crew member asked for media source.

Then eventually it transformed into any audio source.

[oblique yew]

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

[latent loom]

That's really cool since we don't use global audio devices. By the way, I was thinking if maybe it could be better to have a dropdown list for sources instead of having to type the names in manually, with the name of the type of source next to them in the list.

[grave fjord]

The type is a drop-down you can select.
Not an text input.

[grave fjord]

Type shows available audio capable sources.

Similar to the add source in scenes (but in drop down)

[warm glacier]

Thanks for reply. I heard NVIDIA RTX is ready for it, but i have GTX 1080ti 16gb ddr5. 32GB RAM etc.
I'm working on PC, its quite powerfull so.. what next?

[spiral ruin]

a 1080ti is good, not quite powerful by standards of even the last five years. You can probably bash something together with masks and filters, but again, it's all done in real time, and it will be CPU intensive. I've never done anything like that in real time. Just in post production editing.

[warm glacier]

I tried detect filter with gausian blurr but im not happy with results...
I was hoping there was some kind of AI plugin.

[spiral ruin]

Not for realtime processing. That's the issue. real time

Best "solution" is to get an RTX card compatible with the NVIDIA effects SDK and see if you can get better results. I run a 3060ti and the big video effects, while effective, really aren't worth the hit in performance I sometimes see on the live content.

[warm glacier]

I wonder what effect this would achieve. Before I upgrade to RTX...

[spiral ruin]

Still easier in post vs real time. Besides, you may need to upgrade for other reasons.

[warm glacier]

That’s the issue I need to find a way for real time… Do you have any idea where I could see what the effect would look like?

[spiral ruin]

no, at least nothing that isn't studio-level hardware.

[warm glacier]

What about face blur in real time? That’s alternative…

[spiral ruin]

You left out, "alternative for me"
Try it and see.
I doubt there will be anything that is a one-size-fits-all plugin or settings for this, because it's all highly dependent on what you want to affect, and it may even need to be adjusted regularly depending on the particular content, even if your goals don't ever change.

Hello, has anyone experienced adding two or three lower thirds with vinciflow and having both of them show up stacked in your scene? I wnt from scratch with a new scene and wanted to put a host and guest LT but how do you get them to be independent? One person said make a new profile for each Lt you want to use. Now that can get ugly if you have 20 LTs to do.

[wary lake]

does anyone know of any other plugin similar to obs source plugin? to record different sources at once?

[fossil wyvern]

what issue do you have with source record?

because there are similar plugins, but if it's a configuration issue in source record, you'll likely have similar issues with other plugins

[wary lake]

Using that with the goxlr it keeps recording all audio no matter what maybe i'm not separating it correctly. Everytime I try it even different ways both the cam and the pc/game recording is recording all audio and it resets to doing that. Maybe i'm not doing it correctly. Wanted to see if someone can please take a look. I can share my screen or something. I would like to make it separate if i wanted to edit my voice louder than the game or system audio or vice versa.

While playing I noticed one time that either obs, the game itself or the plugin lagged so in editing at some point the audio went out of sync with the visuals. Is there anyway to stop that from happening? Like if i say a sentence the visual of me may finish mere milliseconds/seconds before the audio of the sentence finishes or vice versa. It's becoming a pain to edit and keep syncing cause some parts are synced up some are not. So i'm like maybe it's cause of the game spiking fps (I normally keep every game to a 60 fps cap just in case) or it's because some times I'm recording a game for 3 to 4 hrs and maybe it starts to lag? idk but I have a really good computer and my specs are really good so i don't see why it would do that but i'm just trying to fix these issues with the plugin. Hoping to maybe share screen and talk with someone who is knowledgeable and willing to help with this plugin and my setup

[fossil wyvern]

wait, step by step, first issue, what audio do you want it to record?

[wary lake]

right so i have 3 sources. Gaming consoles, one for pc screen/ pc gaming, and then my cam. So in the branch output status when i press record for pc screen and cam the audio from both sources are in both recordings so if im playbacking just the pc game file/video i also hear my voice. and vice versa if I play just the cam file/video I also hear the game. So it makes hard to edit the differences sometime if I want my voice louder or lower in post than recording. I have a goxlr so idk if i'm able to fully seperate because the goxlr seperates audio already so maybe it might just be because of that but just wanted to see

[fossil wyvern]

you can separate ausio as long as it is separate sources in obs

screenshot how you setup the audio for each filter

[wary lake]

ok so screenshot is how it is for each source, the audio mixer has my goxlr main (broadcast stream mix) and the goxlr main advance audio properties and the tracks it's set to and how i have it routed in the goxlr itself

[fossil wyvern]

why is it to custom audio?

instead of the audio of the source itself?

oh cause you're not routing all the audio through obs but through the goxlr

as I said you can separate audio in obs only if they are in separate sources in obs

[wary lake]

yeah yeah and that i'm ok with if that's the case cause goxlr makes things already complicated than it is lol I just wanted to make sure that was the case and i wasn't doing something wrong

where i can get it to recognize the goxlr and seperate the audio in the obs

unless there is idk

[fossil wyvern]

if you are mixing the audio together in the goxlr, it can't be separated after that

it's mixed together

[wary lake]

ok so i just make the goxlr has the better levels going forward for the audio

[fossil wyvern]

I don't understand what that means

[wary lake]

more of a note to self

[fossil wyvern]

ok

[wary lake]

do you know about the other issue

[fossil wyvern]

what's the other issue exacttly?

[wary lake]

My OBS Source Record plugin recordings start synced, but during long recordings the audio and video go out of sync. Some parts are fine, others aren’t. Makes editing a nightmare. My PC is high-end and games are capped at 60 FPS. Idk if the game lagging (sometimes during frame spikes) and causes it to desync by milliseconds/seconds or if it's the plugin

don't need to be rude man

[oblique yew]

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

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

ahh ok I appreciate the help, advice and the tips! Thank you!

[spiral ruin]

I'm curious, did you ever post a log here, from one of these recording sessions where things got out-of-sync?

[wary lake]

no only because I don't notice until it's in editing. I swear it's perfecly fine during recording like I don't see any issues within obs at all. If im recording a 4 hr gameplay it could be perfectly sync for 3 hours and then that last hour it could all be out of sync or certain parts. I thought it was during gameplay (for example poppy playtime lags alot) so i thought maybe cause the game lagged that it made the recordings go out of sync. But Idk if it's a plugin issue or not so im trying do process of elimination

[spiral ruin]

Right, but you can still post a log from one of those sessions, if it was recent. I get it you don't know until you start editing.

[wary lake]

oh ok I might have one. If not I can make sure if it doesnt again to paste it

Hi guys, please tell me a plugin that will add an FFmpeg encoder, like StreamFX. 🥲

uhm... any? recent ones?

[snow hinge]

I mean the video encoder.

me too

[snow hinge]

I just upgraded to the latest version.

[strong trellis]

[snow hinge]

I need the same advanced settings for streaming, not for recording.

[strong trellis]

streaming options may be limited based on the streaming service you are using. Like you can't stream H265 to twitch

[fossil wyvern]

ffmpeg output mode is not available for streaming, and is unsupported

[fossil wyvern]

why do you need that?

[brave cairn]

i'm unsure where to go for the correct channel but what are some good plugins for tv production?

[obsidian agate]

Plug-ins tend to fill a very specific need at the time that you have that need.

You’d probably need to provide more details as to what areas in “tv production” are an issue for you currently, and from there determine if a plugin is available to help in that area.

One example would be the “move“ plug-in, where if you have a need to dynamically and programmatically move scene items around during streams/recordings, that could be a useful plugin. If you dont have that need, then you dont need that plugin

[elder kettle]

Hi, does there exist a plugin for canon Cameras to use as a webcam? (Linux and Windows)

[obsidian agate]

no specific plugin for OBS, but there is the Canon EOS Webcam Utility for Mac and Windows ; https://www.usa.canon.com/digital-cameras/eos-webcam-utility

other than that, you could get an hdmi capture card/device and just capture the HDMI output of the camera, depending on if it properly supports that

the modern nvenc encoders in obs will be better than most things that go through ffmpeg

[untold jay]

@snow hinge Is there anything specific you're looking for? After the most recent nvenc rewrite, most of these settings can be changed through semi-documented options.

why do you need to bypass a KYC (know your customer) check? Unless I am incorrect on your meaning of KYC

[unborn abyss]

Does anybody have a good tool for multi-camera livestreaming to OBS with discord? Like, ideally I'd just hop in a call and I would be able to isolate all the guests. Think like reactive from fugitech but with actual camera footage

[spiral ruin]

vdo.ninja, if you want actual camera and mic from each participant.

[unborn abyss]

I forgot to say, I tried vdo.ninja but the camera quality was atrocious and I'd prefer something actually within discord. is that possible to do?

[spiral ruin]

Discord doesn't split the participants into separate video or audio streams. VDO.ninja works fine, but it does need good bandwidth from the source to the recipient, just like any stream over the internet.

[unborn abyss]

ah, that's unfortunate

[spiral ruin]

VDO.ninja has a great studio site too, the director's view, so you can see all of the streams.

[unborn abyss]

thanks for the advice, so it seems vdo.ninja is really the only good one around? I've tried to pick it up multiple times now but every time has been a struggle

[spiral ruin]

It's one I use regularly. I don't know of any other options that don't involve third party software, paid software, and additional dedicated software that would need to be implemented on each participant's end.

[unborn abyss]

do you manage to get it at good quality?

[spiral ruin]

Most of the time, yes, I am happy with the results.

[hallow vale]

By default the bitrate on VDO.ninja is pretty low. You will want to set your own bitrate depending on the speed of both your and the guest's connection.

[kindred marsh]

Im sure this has been asked a million times and im sorry. I have Aitum Vertical plugin, and im trying to make it where the vertical scene doesnt look stretched without affecting my normal recording. A way to record both videos in normal 16:9 aspect and shorts in 9:16. is there a way to do this? Currently I can make the 16:9 look fine but then its way stretched on the 9:16, and if I make 9:16 look good, then the 16:9 is squished/cut off in parts

[hard jay]

You will have to cut things off, you can't have both.

[lost python]

I think this is the best place for me to ask, but feel free to redirect if there's somewhere more appropriate.

In OBS Websocket, is there a way to get a list of group names and UUIDs? As far as I can tell from the websocket protocol.md, groups should have both a name and UUID, but I can't seem to find a way to get the group UUID if I don't also know the scene it is in. While this means I could theoretically find it by checking GetSceneItemList for each scene until I find it, I would expect there to be a better way.

If there's no better solution for this (other than "don't use groups"), I'll feature request it to the Websocket repo.

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio can be remote controlled via WebSocket and some apps that connect to it. For more information, including a list of compatible apps, see the Remote Control Guide.

To learn more about using the obs-websocket API in your script or application, see the Developer Guide or join the obs-websocket Discord server for support from the developers and community.

[lost python]

ah, didn't know there was a seperate server for websocket, thanks

[harsh topaz]

You might get support for it here too, but it's more on in the realm of development - so usually too specialized. And since there's a Discord for it, you might be able to even use search and find if anyone asked the question before 🙂

[carmine viper]

there is GetGroupList

[lost python]

only returns group names

[carmine viper]

yeah you need to iterate through scenes as you mentioned, you cannot grab this directly.

[harsh topaz]

You have to iterate since v5 afaik.

I think I asked similar quesiton a while back and was not impressed with the answer

(That would be in OBS Websocket discord)

[lost python]

my main little gripe with groups is the following, pulled straight from websocket docs

Using groups at all in OBS is discouraged, as they are very broken under the hood. Please use nested scenes instead.

If it's so discouraged, why still allow group creation in the first place, but 🤷‍♂️

[carmine viper]

but you don't need to know what scene it is in, groups themselves internally are scenes so websocket treats them that way.

many people want to remove groups entirely, or at least rework them to just simply be organizational folders in the UI.

I am one of those people

[harsh topaz]

Groups are... not ideal. They need a rework fundementally.

Just, no one to do the work. It's a tall lift.

[lost python]

I wish I could just not care about groups, but end users really seem to like them

[harsh topaz]

End users should, where applicable, use nested scenes 🙂

Make a new scene, treat it as a "Group", put stuff in there - then go into primary scene, and add Nested Scene.

[lost python]

I'm 100% there with you

[harsh topaz]

Groups have their limited usages atm without breaking things. And you have to sort of be careful about it still. Place things where you want them. THEN put them into group. Then don't interact with the items inside the group anymore.

Don't manipulate/move them etc.

[lost python]

I'm trying to reduce my reliance on scene/source names and switch to UUID where able, and that includes groups.

anyway yeah, I guess I'll have to iterate it, thanks

[harsh topaz]

As stated, you can probably find answer on the OBS Websocket discord - but it will probably be some variant of "iterate" yea.

Hey everybody! It's my first time using OBS Studio. Do you have presets to record videos for YouTube and Instagram at the same time?

[velvet glen]

Using advanced scene switcher plug in. I've got my macros working correctly, but I want to know how can I reset to the first macro after the last?

I've seen the "Run" option in "Sequence" but I don't want to run the macro I want it to wait for the condition to be met before it runs.

Ex.

Macro 1 condition met > Execute macro 1 > Move to macro 2

Macro 2 condition met > execute macro 2 > Reset

[untold jay]

@velvet glen Use the "macro" "unpause" action to unpause macro 2, then have macro 2 pause macro 2 as its last action.

[bleak coral]

could someone help me set up advanced scene switcher for stream deck?
I got the plugin, but I cant get the stream deck to connect to the websocket server

[silk schooner]

Hey, obs_frontend_add_dock is written as deprecated, but it doesn't tell what to use if not this.
So, what to use if not obs_fronend_add_dock please? =)
Edit: it's now obs_frontend_add_dock_by_id

[loud wedge]

Make sure the OBS websocket server is enabled.
Note down the port and password and enter them after pressing the "Configure OBS connection" button on the Stream Deck side.

[bleak coral]

I did that, it doesnt seem to do much of anything

and im not sure if its some firewall eating it

can it be the stupid router blackholing it

[loud wedge]

just to make sure - the stream deck software and OBS is running on the same machine, right?

[bleak coral]

yeah, but the websocket server is an IP that is the router DHCP range (or whatever its called, the auto-ip-assign-on-local-lan)

there doesnt seem to be a way to change it

[loud wedge]

Try changing the ip back to "localhost" on stream deck side.

You can also try to enable the alerts in the OBS websocket settings.
Maybe that will give a hint.

[untold jay]

The websocket server is also available at 127.0.0.1, try that. And yes, enable notifications so you'll know when it tries to connect.

[bleak coral]

well, the logs are empty, nothing is reaching the websocket server

tried both localhost and 127.0.0.1

[untold jay]

@bleak coral Are you on windows 11?

[bleak coral]

yeah

[untold jay]

Didn't microsoft break localhost connections on it at some point? I'm not sure if this was ever sorted out.

[bleak coral]

sigh

guess it doesnt really matter all that much, I just made a "hotkey" for ctrl+shift+alf+F1 to run the macro and assigned that a streamdeck button

[spiral ruin]

I use Touch Portal with OBS via websocket and localhost for the connection settings. Works just fine, no Microsoft breaking anything. My guess here is it's something with Streamdeck plugin for adv-ss, if the Stream Deck itself can still connect to OBS.

[bleak coral]

oh yeah it does connect

i can see it on the logs

im moderately convinced its actually going through the router since the websocket wants to go through 192.168.3.xxx

and the router probably just nukes it

[dusky basin]

are they on the same pc?

if so just enter 127.0.0.1

[willow willow]

So after reading rules I believe my question is within rules but not sure if I am in wrong place to be asking. I was curious about trying to get a v-tuber made/ added to OBS and there is a flood of videos linked to random programs so I am just seeking advice from someone who has done this before and wouldn't mind helping someone.

[supple quest]

im confused is it just a overlay or is there a place where i can just see my chats myself

[spiral ruin]

It acts as an window on your monitor. It runs outside of OBS. It can have transparency like an overlay, so if you want to place over your game, you can customize the appearance.

[supple quest]

ive never been more confused im ngl

[spiral ruin]

What exactly do you want to do?

[pulsar zenith]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a plug-in or I can set up a vertical scene. But have it set so that not for streaming, but for when I do a clip capture. So that I can upload my own clips and far higher quality. Basically I’d have my main stream already. It’s some set to a twitch stream 1080 P 60 FPS, but it’s also a recording 4K 60 FPS for me to upload the YouTube later. What I would like to do is be able to create like 30 second to 62nd clips through OBS, but haven’t recorded like a vertical format as well. That way I’ll have a short form already pre-set ready for the upload and everything for my shorts. I just didn’t know if there’s something out there that somebody knows about that I don’t. I am using a 9070 XT GPU if it makes a difference.

[untold jay]

@pulsar zenith The aitum vertical plugin can do this, it creates a second canvas that can be set to any resolution.

[pulsar zenith]

OK so it can still capture a clip. All right, that’s cool. I’m glad to hear that. Thank you so much.

Hello! Since OBS dropped NVENC support for Kepler cards I decided to see if I could fork the NVENC plugin and use it as a third-party plugin instead. And I came up with this: https://github.com/RanAwaySuccessfully/nvenckepler

Hoping this is of some use to anyone out there. I managed to get it working on Linux with a GTX 650 but I have not tested it since. I have not tested the Windows build nor do I have any other Nvidia card to test it with.

[fossil wyvern]

if you can get someone to test the windows build, could be worth submitting it as a ressource on the forum

[blazing linden]

I'll be able to test it myself once I have finished building a spare PC at home (mostly from used parts), but that might still take a while. Until then I'll just be on the lookout for people who might still have these cards in their computers and would be willing to help out with testing.

[still spear]

Hello! Does anyone know of a plugin / how to sort sources alphabetically? I want to load PNG files from a PowerPoint presentation into obs (ordered with slide 1 on top and the last slide, ex: slide 60, on the bottom.

But when you drag and drop all the slides into the sources bin it does the reverse order and there’s no good way to reorder them

[fossil wyvern]

why not use a slideshow source?

[still spear]

In case I have to jump from slide 10 to say slide 27, is there an easy way to do that in a slideshow source?

[fossil wyvern]

yup, you can click on it in the properties

[hard jay]

Just to ask the question, why not just capture something like powerpoint instead, which is a tool designed to do this?

It's certainly possible in OBS, but not really designed for that use case, and it will be pretty awkward.

[still spear]

I was curious if I could be done without the screen capture function. That’s def one way to do it

[still spear]

I opened properties but I don’t see that option

[fossil wyvern]

did you add the slides?

[still spear]

I did, it has them all listed under “image files”

Hm I have a feeling that the PowerPoint capture is going to have to be the way to go

[fossil wyvern]

yeah, and by clicking on the file you want to switch to, it'll switch to that file

[still spear]

Hmm didn’t seem to work for me, maybe something is interfering. All good tho I’m going to do window capture, seems like a better solution now that I think about it

[fossil wyvern]

agreed

[grizzled palm]

Hi.

Im in the middle of developing aplugin (currently functional) for managing RPG (top down projection or gaming table style) entities.

https://github.com/adiastra/RPG-Map-Effects

Currently, it allows you to create effect templates as scenes, differentiate between BattleMaps and FX, trigger efex live on the screen (multiple of the same effect), tracking those to you can remove them as needed, set timers for them to autoremove, draw a grid onn the preview screen or the program output and a bunch of other fiddly bits.

I am interested in anyone trying this out. It was built ona mac (not sure if there will be Windows issues) in C++/Qt

[fossil wyvern]

if you want peeps to try it best would be to make a release?
not everyone is comfy with building stuff

[dusky basin]

you should in that case also definitely include some screenshots

[grizzled palm]

Ok ill do both, will repost later on once i have the readme more robust and a build release.

any advice on creating github actions for building a release?

not sure if a template exists

[fossil wyvern]

there is the obs plugintemplate

[grizzled palm]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-plugintemplate

got it, ill adapt that, thanks

[grizzled palm]

does anyone know what method the Draw plugin is using to display the cursor on the program while moving it on the draw window?

[weak escarp]

yes, what do you want to know about it?

obs_set_output_source is used to put a draw source on top of program

[grizzled palm]

Well im trying to mimic that in my plugin and having a difficult time., I am already tracking the cursor position. Ill try using obs_set_output_source as a new layer.

[weak escarp]

you can also check the code of the draw plugin

[grizzled palm]

yeah im doing that too 🙂 but i figured asking here would be a smart thing to do (i was correct)

ok this is a way better approach, i was trying to do it with a scene item moving around and it was crashing.

@weak escarp if both my plugin (using this method of obs_set_output_source) and Draw were both running, would this cause an issue. I feel like they awould be fighting for the same outputs.

[weak escarp]

the code in draw picks the highest channel not in use

[grizzled palm]

ok cool

[fossil wyvern]

oh btw @weak escarp , while you're here, I have a script that extends the base obs filename formatting to add more possibilities to it, and I've toyed with the idea of extending it for stuff like source record/aitum rather than just the base recording/replay buffer.

I haven't done a deep dive in the code of those yet, but to do so it might require me to do some PRs to add signals or stuff in those.
Just asking, on principle would those PRs (if necessary) have a likelyhood of being accepted or no?

[weak escarp]

the likelyhood of accepting code mainly depends on if I think it can be useful for others and if I am able to maintain that code myself, the first part should be covered in this case, the second part I might suggest changes to the code for

[fossil wyvern]

very fair 👍
Wasn't looking for a "yes/no" on principle without seeing the code, more of just a "does it make sense for me to go towards this way in the first place", ty for the answer and I'll take time to deep dive the code

[hushed vessel]

im not sure if this server is the best place to ask but given its based off obs id ask it, i recently downloaded the new elgato wavelink 3 software, and in order to add audio effects to my mic i need to find the vst plugins myself. what vsts should i get in order to best replicate all the audio effects/filters that OBS provides shown in the picture?

[oblique yew]

A basic guide to improve your microphone quality can be found here: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/514/

[hushed vessel]

would this come with all the things listed?

[spiral ruin]

Everything in this part of the list from OBS (minus the Move filters and the VST 2.x plugin) are built into OBS. There are plenty of VST plugins you can download and install for compatible host apps like Wave, but you won't get the exact same thing as the built-in filters.

[leaden basin]

Hello guys, I’m kind of new to the platform, and I really want to learn how to do a camera sweep in OBS. Like, while the platform is moving, the anchor would also be moving at the center of the platform—like a camera pan. This would be really helpful for my broadcasting as a technical crew member, and I would appreciate any kind of help.

[spiral ruin]

Is this in a game?

[hushed vessel]

Mmm what vst should i get to replicate the gain filter, because currently i use it in my OBS since my mic even at peak talking is quiet unless i fuckin crank the hardware gain on that, and it just sounds worse doing that

[spiral ruin]

A gain vst, if Wave doesn't already have one built-in

[hushed vessel]

Any recommendations or links?

[spiral ruin]

How close is the mic to your mouth when you speak into it? Does it have hardware controls on it for gain? What kind of mic is it? How does it connect to the pc?

[hushed vessel]

Like 3 inches most times, yes, fifine am8, usb rn

[spiral ruin]

Make sure in Windows the mic is turned up to 100%.

[leaden basin]

nopee, i made this in blender

[spiral ruin]

Then you would pan around in blender, with whatever POV camera view you want to make from it.

[hushed vessel]

It is, it's maxed out everywhere it can be besides the hardware dial rn, and even maxing that won't ever register my voice beyond -10db on OBS, but it does that at lower gains too anyway while sounding better

[spiral ruin]

Turn off all the mic source filters for this mic, in OBS. And test that way. If you still have issues staying around -10dB with a normal speaking voice, head to #audio-support for assistance.

[hushed vessel]

I'm talking about this based on zero filters

Which like it's not a problem the gain filter fixed that

I just need it system wide now

My bet is it's just the mic cuz a friend with the same one has that same thing going on

But like it's a non issue

[spiral ruin]

Then apply the same technique in Wave. Same tools, same concept.

[hushed vessel]

Again i was asking if there's a link to a gain vst i should use, cuz i imagine there's thousands

[spiral ruin]

Isn't there a built-in gain control in Wave?

[hallow vale]

Output gain is available in the Reaper plugins from the guide. Here it is in noise suppression (ReaFir)

[hushed vessel]

Can't make it louder than it already is, only quieter

[spiral ruin]

like, all the audio software I use has built-in gain filters. Resolve, ATEM, OBS, Audacity, RODE.

[hushed vessel]

It just has a dial, which is already maxed out

[spiral ruin]

Then pick a vst and try it. Reaper Suite is a good collection, straightforward to use.

[hushed vessel]

Swaggy thank u

[spiral ruin]

There many different filters, like powerfuldot shows, where output gain is part of the filter.

[hallow vale]

Nice thing about Reaper is there are a million tutorials to learn from since they have been free forever

[hushed vessel]

Ok was lookin through it looks Swaggy, which vst would replicate the "limiter" filter?

[hushed vessel]

oh wait am i supposed to make a vst2 folder and put the plugins i just got into there

[hallow vale]

!vst You want them to be in one of the specific locations OBS looks for them in. Check the guide below for where.

[oblique yew]

OBS Studio supports many VST 2.x plugins which can be applied to your audio sources as a filter. For more information, see the VST 2.x Plugin Filter guide.

[hushed vessel]

this isnt for obs, this is for wavelink

i was just asking here cuz i was tryna replicate the effects obs offers over into wavelink

[hallow vale]

!elgatosupport Oh, right, we were talking about both, it must be getting late. I don't know how, but the Elgato folks have a server and community members would probably know.

[oblique yew]

For additional help with Elgato products, please check the help page at https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/. They also have a community Discord server.

[hushed vessel]

ok bet thx and rq again which vst from that reaper suite would replicate the gain filter on obs?

[hallow vale]

None, just use the gain inside one of the filters you are already using from it.

[hushed vessel]

elgato provides zero filters outside of manual vst installs

[hallow vale]

I was talking about the reaper ones.

[hushed vessel]

ah like one of them will have a gain increase slider?

[hallow vale]

Yes, like the one in Reafir that I showed earlier

[hushed vessel]

ohhh yeah ok w, how about the limiter filter

[hallow vale]

I don't know.

[hushed vessel]

ok no worries thx anyway

[hallow vale]

I need some opinions witch is better to use in my case? I stream on twitch 1080p 60 FPS. But I also record the stream in my native 4K 60 FPS to upload to YouTube. I want to create a vertical scene for the sole propose of recording high quality clips. So inclosing I have a single scene i stream in 1080p on twitch and record 4K for VOD on YouTube. I want to add a vertical scene I can use the OBS Replay feature to create a 60 second clips.

Knowing this, would I be better off with the Aitum Vertical plugin or the Aitum Stream Suite?

[hallow vale]

I would use only Aitum Vertical, as you don't need the multistreaming capabilitie.

[pulsar zenith]

so when i use the replay i can set it to capture the vertical sceen for a clip correct?

[hallow vale]

Yes.

[pulsar zenith]

how would i set replay for the vertical sceen?

hey ive been trying to figure out a way to trigger a move filter when music starts playing, but i cannot get it to work anyone can help or knows how to do it?

[hallow vale]

!advss Do you have advanced scene switcher?

[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.

[tall pewter]

i dont htink so but i dont want to switch scenes

let mem take a screenshot and draw it out

[hallow vale]

Advanced Scene Switcher does way more than just switch scenes.

You can tell it to monitor if a source is making sound, then activate the move filter when it does.

[tall pewter]

im trying to trigger the move filter so that when music is played the vtuber moves up and sclaes down

[tall pewter]

oh damm thanks

let me try that out

[harsh topaz]

Yea the name's a bit unfortunate - but that's what the plugin started out as

[raven grail]

Hi guys, I'm looking to Replay Buffer from a livestream but remove on-screen overlays like webcam etc so found the Source Record plugin which sounded perfect for what I wanted. However going through the settings the Replay Buffer option within Source Record has a maximum duration of 1000s (16minutes) whereas Replay Buffer without the Source Record I can exceed this to at least 1800s which is the duration I wanted to record full Arc Raiders matches.

I don't want to have to manually record before every raid and delete all recordings I don't want if possible due to likely wanting to keep very minimal amount of recorded raids. Just wondering if anybody knows a way to exceed the 1000s or a work around for my issue.

Help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[tall pewter]

Thank you i got it to work

[hallow vale]

Very cool! YW!

[dusky basin]

you'd have to ask Exeldro to increase the max value for that setting if you want to do it in the UI

potentially you could change it in the json as a workaround?

[raven grail]

I can't say I'm familiar with json to be honest and I'm pretty inexperienced with plugins so assuming Exeldro is who created it?
I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction, I will try look into these more tomorrow but if you're able to help further in any way that would be amazing

[dusky basin]

exeldro created it, yes

he put a max value of 1000 in the UI, probably as a "good enough" number

but so far as I can see the UI is the only place that is done

so what you could do is set up your source record correctly, set that duration to something like 973, open your scene collection json in an editor, search for 973, check that it says something like "record_duration" right before, and then change the number to 1800 and save. Edit: do this with obs closed of course.

it's quite likely that if you wanted to change something about the filter later, the duration would reset so I wouldn't count on this for long periods of time

but as a quick-and-dirty workaround until you can get Exeldro to change it, it should work

I don't know what his preferred method is but probably creating an issue here https://github.com/exeldro/obs-source-record/issues would be reasonable

whats yalls best recommendation for a noise suppression vst? reason im asking is because i wanna filter out some of the background noise my room has as well as the echo from my own open back headphones, im moving from voicemod to wave link 3 and a couple things voicemod did well was its "clean" filter already removing any quiet static noises in the background as well as the echoing from my headphones, and its noise suppressor was actually pretty good at getting rid of further background noise like typing or random tapping or clacking

the reaper suite didnt seem to have one

[spiral ruin]

Start with the mic. What make and model? How close is it to your mouth? How's your normal speaking level, without any additional eq or makeup gain? And can you lower the volume of the headphones, or even switch to a different style so the audio doesn't bleed out and get picked up by the mic?

[hushed vessel]

Fifine am8, like 6 inches away most times, according to OBS my conversational peaks are at like -16db about fully stock, my headphones are system wide 50%, I'd rather not make it quieter if i can help it at that point, it's the only pair i got besides a vastly inferior old pair of close backs

Messing with the gain and turning it down on the mic itself ain't really helping until it gets too quiet to be acceptable anyway

Either way i do need a noise suppressor regardless for the sake of other external background noises

I tired the elgato noise removal from their marketplace, if it weren't for the fact it's impossible for it to register my K and H sounds with any letter beginning with those, it'd be decent, but it didn't really help with the echoing, it did with like everything else tho shit couldn't even pick up my typing and made moving my mic arm not sound like dookie

[spiral ruin]

I still say, start by reducing or removing the background noise sources, so that noise suppression can have a better chance of working.
As for noise suppression filters, I prefer the NVIDIA filter. Seems to work well with my room noise without making my voice sound over-processed.

[hushed vessel]

Can't really get rid of them, it's a furnace and a washing/drying machine

[hushed vessel]

I assume i can't use that one with my 7700xt

[hallow vale]

The Reaplug Noise Suppression VST is called ReaFir

It's included in the free package.

[spiral ruin]

Is that a compatible Nvidia RTX card? 😉

[hushed vessel]

It's amd

So def not

[spiral ruin]

I know

[hushed vessel]

Oh wait fir also does that?

[hushed vessel]

which mode do i want

[hallow vale]

Subtract. It's wording is a lil weird

[hushed vessel]

ok bet thank u ill mess with it

[hallow vale]

The build automatic noise profile thingy isn't bad.

[hushed vessel]

ok imma try that first, just cant test it rn cuz ppl around lmao

[hushed vessel]

im so confused by this chart and it sounds REALLY bad with the automatic profile like it completely ruins the voice

[hallow vale]

If the background noise is loud enough, the filter works so hard at cutting the noise that it screws your voice up.

[spiral ruin]

Yep, audio is about first getting the best audio into the mic you want, and nothing else. Or as little else as possible.

[hushed vessel]

what would be a good curve to try out initially

[spiral ruin]

Try generating an audio profile first. I forget that this plugin has that feature

[hushed vessel]

all it does is ends up suppressing my voice like in its entirety

wait one sec

[spiral ruin]

It would be magic if it understood which noise was undesirable and which was your voice.
It takes time and work to figure out what part to remove and which tool will be effective, if any. That's why I said at the beginning to deal with the noise if possible.

But if it's not possible, it will be harder for any noise suppression filters to be effective and have acceptable results.

[hallow vale]

Just in case: the VST doesn't make this clear, but when you use the build noise profile you don't talk. Let it hear the noise in your mic.

[hushed vessel]

yeah i realized that, made it better but it was still suppressing my own voice too much after, there is currently a washer running behind me which lmao, i kinda dont need the suppression for that sake cuz of the noise gate filter lowkey

tho im realizing my echo aint as bad as i thought

imma keep tweaking

[hallow vale]

If at all possible the washer should not be running while you record/stream yeah haha

[hushed vessel]

lmao yeah im usually not dealing with that when recording or streaming, but sometimes i have to deal

[hushed vessel]

Hmm so i had to stop testing to get to bed, couple things, refir doesn't really help with anything tbh, and it certainly doesn't get rid of my voice echo, luckily that kinda doesn't matter cuz i don't monitor my voice in real world situations, and luckily it's not picking up my music even when blasted unless i put the back of my headphone ear right up to the mic, but that still makes me confused why it picks up my echo when monitoring my voice

I also realized regate kinda sucks at blocking out background sounds while not fucking with my H sounds for some reason, at least when saying it kinda quietly

The problem is i lowkey was spoiled with voicemods clean filter cuz it kinda just did it all for me, background noise gone when not talking, doesn't mess with my own voice, and i don't hear an echo when monitoring, i just wish i got how it did that, cuz lowkey it was magic and im reallyyyy struggling to replicate that

Gate also simply can't block out my echos unless i set it like way too high

[spiral ruin]

A gate filter is literally a gate. Once noise is loud enough for the set threshold, it pushes the gate open and lets noise through.
It can be effective in keeping low background noises from pushing the gate open, so that when you are not talking, the mic is basically closed from picking up any noise. But once you start talking to push it open, any noise the mic can pick up will be heard.

[hushed vessel]

Yeah, i got all that down, my main confusion is just how voicemodsnclean filter was able to pick and choose what to filter out like that

[spiral ruin]

Don't know, I never used any of their recent software. Just the voice changers but that was 10 years ago.

[hushed vessel]

Yeah, that's why I'm tryna move from it, other than clean filter it has no good ways to enhance ur audio, no proper eq or compressor or gain boost

[spiral ruin]

It's a tool, like the thousands of other tools for audio. If you don't like one, try another.

[hallow vale]

!log Close OBS, reopen it then grab a log link for us. Probably monitoring is looping back into OBS or similar causing the echo.

[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

[hallow vale]

I never promised that reafir can fix echoes LOL

[hushed vessel]

Nah this had nothing to do with OBS, the monitoring was on wavelink itself

[hallow vale]

They didn't either as far as I am aware haha

[hallow vale]

Make sure you don't monitor to the same channel that you capture then.

[hushed vessel]

Wdym

[hallow vale]

The monitoring in Wavelink may have a setting where you choose which channel you hear what you monitor in. Make sure that is not a channel or mix that you are capturing in OBS, or else it's sending double audio.

[hushed vessel]

On wavelink I'm just monitoring the "personal mix", on OBS i had my mic muted, maybe i should close OBS and test?

[hallow vale]

No need. In OBS, expand the audio mixer so you can see all the sources, or at least scroll through every source while talking.

If more than one mixer bar lights up, then Wavelink is sending the mic audio through something else. That tells you which one.

[hushed vessel]

Hmm ok imma do this tomorrow and lyk

[hallow vale]

👍

[hushed vessel]

Oh i was looking at my audio sources, which luckily don't gotta scroll to see all of them, only the mic/aux source would register anything at all, which it is set to my "elgato stream mix"

This was earlier

[raven grail]

Thank you so much for the help man it means a lot! I've contacted via the link you've sent and I guess it's just a waiting game from here onwards

Does anybody know if it's possible when using Source Record's replay buffer feature to have a notification or some kind popup like using replay buffer regularly when hitting hotkey to save replay you can see in the bottom corner it basically saying it has created the recording however when just using the Source Record plugins replay buffer feature I can't see any sign of it working. Would be a nice peace of mind to know if it has or hasn't recorded is all.

Also ontop of that does anyone know if there's anyway to have this Source Record replay buffer action available on Streamdeck? That's what I used as a hotkey for replay buffer before source record

[grizzled palm]

Is there a generally accepted number versioning convention that we use for plugins? im about to release a first release (likely beta) for MacOS. Im wondering if it should be 0.1 or 0.0.1 (im thinking 0.1 makes the most sense)

this is the plugin
https://github.com/adiastra/RPG-Map-Effects
No release yet, im working on it.

[dusky basin]

https://semver.org/

really it's just whatever makes sense to you

[grizzled palm]

thast how i normally do it, just did not know if OBS had any stanrardization .

[grizzled palm]

ok, i went with 1.0.0
https://github.com/adiastra/RPG-Map-Effects/releases/tag/untagged-043b9b5ba7c898f6225b

Thats the release. I tested it and in installs fine and runs fine. Its MacOS only but it should work.

[hearty grove]

no, I haven't touched it in a couple of years, just getting back in to development on it and want to update it now

[hearty grove]

will try this one

[mild kiln]

I did 0.0 for mine, but had to update it anyway lol 0.1 does seem to make most sense to me 0.0.1 would take forever just to get to version 1.0

[signal flax]

can anyone help me plz?

[dusky basin]

versions are not countable numbers, you can go from 0.0.1 to 0.1281282.34 to 1.0 if you have to

usually versions that start with 0 are considered "unstable, we're just starting out, things can change a lot" until at some point the thing graduates to 1.0 meaning "ok we know what we're doing now" but what lies inbetween is completely up to you

[obsidian agate]

I remember this first cropping up in a more public facing way when Apple released MacOS 10.10

But as the dev, its up to you to determine when the jump to a higher version number makes sense. You dont need to get all the way through 0.0.1 to 0.0.9 to tick over to 0.1.0 for example.

MAJOR . MINOR . PATCH . (Possible +build.### values if your project gets that detailed)

[grizzled palm]

i just started at 1.0 for simplicity. im using it in my production flow so it's 1.0 to me.

[mild kiln]

I checked out your plugin, it looks dope though I couldn't fully understand it

[mild kiln]

I noticed this on the Google Play console, I remember thinking "wow they don't even care huh?" I think for android apps you can even release duplicate version names as long as you change the actual version code number like you could do: 4 (1.0) and then 5 (1.0) right after and no one can stop you

Actually pretty useful for those situations where there's a ridiculous bug you didn't see that made it into that version and you just want to remove it without losing a version number just to that one fix.

[dusky basin]

nah don't do that

version numbers are meant to communicate to users that something is different

[mild kiln]

With great power comes great responsibility

It's like a form of revisionism to gaslight people like "oh no that's not broken in ver3.2 i dunno what you're talking about 🤷‍♂️"

Meanwhile there's two different 3.2s hahaha

[grizzled palm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_O7mSwl27I

i just recorded a video for it

the video is also now linked in the Git readme.

@mild kiln as long as you were able to install and open it, im happy 🙂

lol oops, I forgot to publish the release..
https://github.com/adiastra/RPG-Map-Effects/releases/tag/1.0.0

[hidden schooner]

hey can a plugin have paid features? free to use but some extras run through a server, unlocked with a key sold on Gumroad

[fossil wyvern]

yes, the only constraint on plugins is that they are under a licnce that's compatible with obs' own (GPLV2)

that does not stop the plugin from having paid features, or of being wholly paid itself.

which plugin is it?

[grizzled palm]

Im was actually planning on premium packs for my plugin eventually. GPLV2 means that the source is out there but having features that amount to "premium content." would work well.

[fossil wyvern]

so teeechnically GPLV2 doesn't mean the source has to be public

but that can easily be considered a bit of a dick move

[grizzled palm]

No, GPLv2 is Copyleft

thatmeans if you distribute the binary, the source has to be available

[fossil wyvern]

which doesn't mean it has to be public

I know the GPLV2

[grizzled palm]

Attempting to write a closed-source plugin for an open-source app, for profit, is a dick move.
If i saw someone doing that I would probably shun them.

[fossil wyvern]

oh that much isn't not a dick move, it's a breach of licnce.
You can't write a closed source plugin for obs without breaching the GPLV2.
But you're missing the subtlety that "open source" and "source is publicly available" aren't the same thing

[hidden schooner]

the plugin code would be GPLV2 on Github, but the premium stuff lives on my server not in the plugin code. is this a dick move?

[fossil wyvern]

what the GPL actually specifies is that when you distribute the program you must accompany it with either the source, or an offer to give any third party the source code

[grizzled palm]

generally no, you are providing a service.

[hidden schooner]

nothing built yet, just exploring ideas around virtual avatar makers

thank you so much

[grizzled palm]

The the availability of the source (your offer to make it available) must be public.

or distributed with the binary

either way, im going to request the source and publish it 🙂

[fossil wyvern]

nah, just distributed with the program, which isn't necessarily public

[grizzled palm]

(maybe not me but thats what always happens)

[fossil wyvern]

you can paywall the distribution of the binary in which case either the source or the offer aare also paywalled

[grizzled palm]

in this hypothetical a person is trying to make a profit on someone else's back while providing nothing to the community, and I do not respect that.

Hi idk if this is the right channel for my question but feel free to redirect me if it's not! I installed the plugin Aitum for dual streaming and it changed my Twitch streams to be 720p. I've uninstalled it but since then my streams have remained at 720p whilst live, despite my OBS settings saying they're all on 1080p. I'm a bit stuck on what to do

[dusky basin]

what bitrate is it set to

[timid basin]

10k

[oblique yew]

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

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

[dusky basin]

that's too high

set it to 6k and it will work

twitch is locking out your source option because of this, leaving 720p as the highest option

[timid basin]

I see! I had it on 10k before installing the plugin and the problem didn't happen then, that's why I assumed it was related, but I will try that anyways and come back if no luck haha. Thank you!

[dusky basin]

by default, obs corrects it for you

aitum does not

Usually within OBS it's done with a green screen & the chroma key filter. Otherwise Zoom or Discord will usually let you blur your background or change it without a greenscreen based on motion detection but it doesn't look as good of course. Are you trying to use the virtual camera for video calls or just trying to stream/record without the virtual camera?? Or are you trying to make a plug-in that does this?

[obsidian agate]

They are trying to use the plugin called “background removal” that does green screen minus the need for a real greenscreen

[mild kiln]

Oh okay they need installation help must be

[hallow vale]

What method did you use to install the plugin?

[edgy sandal]

I went to github and installed a background remover plugin, then extracted, copied the file "obs-backgroiundremoval" to the obs studio file on my file explorer, but nothing happened

This is the most recent "tutorial" I followed

@hallow vale

[harsh topaz]

This one?
https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval/releases

[edgy sandal]

yea

[harsh topaz]

And you grabbed this one?

[edgy sandal]

yea

[harsh topaz]

And you dragged these two into the primary directory?

[spiral ruin]

Sway has a RTX 5060, could use the NVIDIA effects sdk

[edgy sandal]

Im pretty sure

[edgy sandal]

what does this mean

[harsh topaz]

idk if the plugin offers any benefits over the standard.

[edgy sandal]

wdym?

[harsh topaz]

Means you have a GPU with it built-in as a filter in OBS already - so you can just add it. Right click add filter, background removal.

[spiral ruin]

!nvafx
You have a compatible gpu to use the NVIDIA effects SDK.

[oblique yew]

The redistributables required for the NVIDIA Noise and Background Removal filters can be found here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/

Once both are installed,

The NVIDIA Noise Removal option will appear as part of the "Noise Suppression" filter, alongside RNNoise and Speex.
The NVIDIA Background Removal option will appear as its own filter under "Effect Filters."

[edgy sandal]

where do I paste these?

[harsh topaz]

Drag them into the main OBS folder, where ever your OBS installation is.

It should place all files in the right location.

But try using the built-in ones first as Papa mentioned, or do you need something from the plugin?

[edgy sandal]

look I dont have it tho

[edgy sandal]

lemme try real quick

[edgy sandal]

can u explain to me how to do it step by step by chance?

[harsh topaz]

Hmm might need to install Nvidia sdks Papa linked guide above #plugins-and-tools message

[harsh topaz]

To add plugins, you just take the plugin .zip, open it. Find where the bin and data folder is, then drag it into the folder of OBS you have where the bin and datafolder is. Then the file system will place the files in the same folder structure.

[edgy sandal]

Which one do I install?

[harsh topaz]

Drag & drop

[obsidian agate]

Unless the plugin has an installer

[edgy sandal]

This didnt work

[harsh topaz]

I don't see why an installer would make a difference, it's how you add a plugin to obs

[obsidian agate]

I find zips are usually for Portable copies of OBS, and most plugins have dedicated installers for non Portable copies

[harsh topaz]

Not to mention, the guide that is zipped in here literally says Copy the obs-backgroundremoval folder to your OBS Studio plugins directory. LUL

[obsidian agate]

A lot of this wont matter either once with the full plugin manager in the future

[edgy sandal]

sooo what do i do

[harsh topaz]

True true.

[harsh topaz]

Did you install OBS with an installer?

[edgy sandal]

Yea

[harsh topaz]

Oh, this plugin doesn't have an installer installation actually from what I can see Rob. So no dice

[edgy sandal]

?

[harsh topaz]

Can you open your OBS folder in \obs-plugins\64bit

In that folder, do you see the obs-backgroundremoval.dll?

[obsidian agate]

Shouldnt they use the nvidia one though?

[edgy sandal]

I tried copying that but this is what it says

[harsh topaz]

They should, and they were shown the guide by Papa 😄

[harsh topaz]

Open your obs folder, and just go to it manually. obs-plugins > 64bit > look

As both Papa and Rob pointed out, you should probably follow the guide linked above #plugins-and-tools message and install that to use the already built-in OBS background filter with your Nvidia gpu.

[edgy sandal]

I dont see the plugin

[harsh topaz]

Unless obs-backgroundremoval specifically offers something it does not. No idea.

[edgy sandal]

wait

i dont see the backgrounremoval.dll

is that the problem

[harsh topaz]

Then you dragged it into the wrong place Im guessing

[edgy sandal]

lemme try

where can I find teh dll your talking about

and how do i dpo it? can you walk me through

@harsh topaz

I DID IT, how do I configure settings so it just "cuts" me out?!?!?!?

@harsh topaz

[harsh topaz]

I've never used the plugin, no idea. I'd assume you adjust some of the settings it gives you.

As suggested before, you probably (unsure of the difference in options) get better results with the built-in NVIDIA one.

[oblique yew]

The redistributables required for the NVIDIA Noise and Background Removal filters can be found here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/broadcasting/broadcast-sdk/resources/

Once both are installed,

The NVIDIA Noise Removal option will appear as part of the "Noise Suppression" filter, alongside RNNoise and Speex.
The NVIDIA Background Removal option will appear as its own filter under "Effect Filters."

[harsh topaz]

If you install that, close OBS, open OBS, should have new filter options by default.

For your 5060, you'd install Video Effects - "For nvidia geforce RTX 50-series"

[sudden furnace]

is there a good website for getting viral sfx sounds effect collection?

[carmine viper]

you can usually just google something like "meme sounds soundboard" or whatever soundboard and get a pretty good collection of anything

[sudden furnace]

hmm alright

[mild kiln]

You can always paste youtube links into loader.to as well, then if it's an SFX compilation you can chop out the specific sound you want in Audacity.

Thank you for the reply. I’ve actually installed this plug-in and it is not working. I’m unable to get the blur effect slider to do anything and I’m not really in the mood to have to reinstall OBS again.

Hello there. I have question relating to OBS virtual camera while streaming to TikTok. Every time I open my image freezes and instead of capturing my cam it only captures a picture of my overlay

Click the gear icon next to the Start Virtual Camera button, then screenshot the settings.
