[eager ember]

I'm trying to write an input viewer; is there a way to get OBS to forward kb/m events to a browser source?

[atomic horizon]

I'm curious ive never grabbed any plugins any recommendations?

[mental garnet]

🐶

[quiet bramble]

@atomic horizon Yeah, peruse the OBS website's resources section. There are quite a few plugins there, I find it best to sort based on most recently updated so you see the ones that are actively maintained first and the ones that aren't or are obsolete are buried.

[tidal latch]

is there a plugin for obs that enables selective recording at all or something similar?

[analog ruin]

no, not really. Only way I know of involves multiple OBS instances and NDI or virtulcam weirdness 🙂

[tidal latch]

i do remember being told something about ndi

[novel adder]

So I just downloaded and installed obs.live I am having issues with installing Moobot on it. I have the chrome extension but get an error on the website and I really don't want to give up moobot because I pay for it.

[flint wraith]

Okay, lemme see if I can explain and frame this (warning: long post ahead).
I didn't initially have a need to try out NDI until my former main PC (5820K/1080ti/64gb RAM) and trying to stream Yakuza Kiwami 2 and I noticed that gaming and streaming from the same computer, was causing it to just see an automatic halving of framerates, in the same way I used to see when streaming KOTOR 2 from a Core 2 Quad and GTX 285 way back. Looking into it, NDI seemed to be the solution I was needing. It was just a matter of finding a PC to run it. This happened even with the settings suggesting I should have been using GPU encoding (NVENC).

I already had a living room PC, arranged for media duties, but it also served the purpose of using capture cards to capture and stream console game footage for me. For an AMD FX and 780Ti build, it seemed to have no problem handling even 1080p captured from an Elgato HD 60. 🤷‍♂️

On the gaming PC side, switching to broadcasting an NDI feed to the other PC on the lan, basically solved the performance degradation I saw. And because of the higher quality source being fed to then be (re)encoded to send to Twitch, the resulting visual quality on the website/stream was looking notably sharper. Win-win, right? Well... after a while, it was like the thing just fell flat on its face. It was even behaving as if its LAN adapter wasn't able to maintain connection until I stopped its attempt to grab the feed.

More perplexing was, when I was trying to troubleshoot what was going on, I then also set up a different system to check against. This time, one with a 2600K, with a weaker GPU and slower memory. When I had that system handle NDI, it did it fine. No dropouts, no issues. Which leaves me with a big question... okbutwhytho?

Does NDI not use gpu encoding at all? Can it be forced to?
if it doesn't care about gpu, then... what level of CPU would be needed? RAM?

[gaunt zealot]

@flint wraith You'll want to head over to #windows-support to get that original FPS halving taken care of. It's likely one of a handful of known, fixable issues (like enabling HAGS, which will indeed kill your FPS when multitasking by 50%+ in a lot of cases, including OBS).

As for your networking dropouts on AMD FX era hardware, I'll just be brutally honest and say that both AMD and Realtek hardware of that era (you probably have a Realtek NIC in there...) where, frankly, hot garbage under sustained load. So much so you'll see stuff like Focusrite saying on their support pages that FX-era AMD is straight-up not supported and may even void your warranty on your Focusrite audio interface. AMD just now fixed USB dropouts on Zen like... this month (I wish I was joking).

As for NDI, the underlying NDI libraries from NewTek use a combination of both GPU and CPU for the encoding and decoding process on each end. You also very much need wired gigabit to make NDI viable as a single 1080p60 feed is ~150 Mbps sustained. NDI also isn't really a cure for CPU and/or GPU overload on the gaming PC either as overloading either will cause the NDI video frames to never be encoded or sent down the network from the source, which will cause dropouts on your stream/recordings.

[flint wraith]

Unfortunately I can't use the sandy bridge because it's not an mATX board. the FX build does fit in the living room space. And safe to say I'm trying to appease the wife. 😛 Having a bunch of towers all over the place isn't going to earn any positive points there. Looking up the board, it is a realtek nic, but it is a gigabit nic. And thankfully, the router, switch, and cables involved all should be gigabit capable. 🤷‍♂️

All I know is what I presently observed. In either case, I've since given said 5280K system to the wife (with its former 980ti) because her previous main was a Phenom II and was already like nine years old 😱

My present main is now, a 9900K with said 1080ti, so I shouldn't be having those issues (definitely not now). I still want to try and have a viable way to do NDI or similar. because while SRT or whatever you referred to before might have been more efficient, it doesn't mean much of anything if I can't take that, and output to Twitch.

[gaunt zealot]

Drop by #windows-support and we'll get that fps drop taken care of.

[lavish ibex]

i downloaded the transition matrix but idont see it on my obs @hard jay

[vital trellis]

Hello, where are audio plugins (reaplugs) configuration saved at in windows? like there is a separate folder for obs and another for another program that uses them?

[meager quail]

Hi, first message here and really stupid question, sorry in advance

I want to try to fix a small bug in obs-transition-matrix, honestly I probably won't be able to because it's most likely waaaay harder than I think, but I still want to at least try to mess around with it. I've done a few C++ projects for my personal use but never touched anything as big as OBS. In fact I've never contributed to someone elses' code and I'm excited to try to do this, no matter if I end up fixing it or not

I'm reading the "compiling" section on GitHub for obs-transition-matrix, and it says I need a "working development environment for OBS Studio". I understand this means I have to use the OBS Studio source code and build it myself, or is it possible to work on plugins with a pre-built OBS install?

I downloaded Qt, already have CMake and the basics, but after reading the "Windows Build Directions" from the OBS Wiki, building OBS from scratch seems quite daunting to me, just wondering if I need to do this or if I can just use a pre-built version for quick testing. My C++ projects are almost all console programs and I've never touched DLLs... many firsts in this. Actually I have no idea what I'm doing 😅 it'll be a learning experience for sure but I want to try.

Sorry im sure the answer is obvious but I'm just a (very very) beginner! Thanks for any advice!!

[weak escarp]

You need the lib and header files of obs to build that plugin. You can get those by compiling OBS.
You can also check if the bug you are trying to fix is in the transition table plugin, that should have all known bugs for transition matrix fixed.

[meager quail]

Thank you for answering my question and thanks for mentioning transition table plugin, I wasn't aware of it!! I will definitely install it tomorrow and try. If it fixes the issue then maybe I won't bother spending ages on trying to fix the matrix bug

I was gonna try to fix this: https://github.com/admshao/obs-transition-matrix/issues/24

The "any" row always changes after quitting in transition matrix. I'll try your plugin tomorrow, thank you very much!!

[weak escarp]

That bug is caused by transition matrix saving the any row as a transition override, the same thing that is used to override the other transitions.
That bug is not in Transition Table.

[umbral sleet]

Does anyone know a plugin/tool that writes the system time of the frame onto the frame?

Or does OBS have the functionality to achieve this? With a few little hints I could prob write the plugin myself

But I haven't worked with the OBS plugin API yet

[white dune]

i think you can do it as a filter that constantly updates the properties of a text source.

or, as most people would do it: just use a browser source.

[umbral sleet]

Thanks for your tip - i think browser sources won't be accurate enought. I forgot to mention that the system time should be with at least milisecond precision

Are filters applied to the frame that fast after capture?

[daring plover]

Is it cheap to take the script_tick in lua and update a text source with the time?

[meager quail]

Alright thanks a lot. I shall remove transition matrix and use transition table from now on, thank you! Will try it later after work

[tawdry pasture]

anyone around to help with asio plugin?

[untold jay]

@umbral sleet i have "made" a script that prints system time into a text source every obs frame, it has very high cpu usage unless you use a small font for the text source
it's something i downloaded from obsproject.com resources section and customized

[umbral sleet]

Sounds great! Thanks! Do you have an estimation of how accurate this is?

[untold jay]

i, uh, forgot how to use the script, i'll read up the original documentation ^^'

[umbral sleet]

No it's fine you already helped a lot! Would you mind sharing the link to the original documentation?

[untold jay]

@umbral sleet https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/date-time.906/
apparently the steps are as follows: add a text source, call it "test", go to tools>scripts, add the script, type "test" in the source name field, then adjust font size because otherwise it will eat a ton of cpu time

[tawdry pasture]

Any information on the asio plugin?

[umbral sleet]

@untold jay wonderful thanks a lot!

[untold jay]

i was able to minimize cpu usage by using this font at, uh, 16pt size, i think? or maybe 18pt

it looks sharp if you set scale filtering mode to Point

[umbral sleet]

Ok I will give it a shot

[untold jay]

disclaimer: i am not a programmer, so this thing probably eats a lot more cpu time than it needs to, someone else might be able to optimize it significantly

[umbral sleet]

Ok 🙂

Thanks! I cloned that and changed the info as directed in the CMakeList.txt. But trying to save it in VS2019 gives me a CMake error "Could not find libobs library". Is that supposed to be included in the template somewhere? Sorry, this is my first time doing any development for a plugin.

[hard jay]

you still need to build libobs (and probably frontend-api) libraries to link against.

https://github.com/Palakis/obs-websocket/blob/4.x-current/BUILDING.md as an example

[spark pollen]

ah okay

[hard jay]

What are you looking to make, out of curiosity?

[spark pollen]

Looking to make a plugin that can read info from twitch such as subs and raids - then trigger a keystroke

[inner marsh]

pretty sure you can do something like that through touchportal and maybe lionboard

[dark sapphire]

Crash's Strm.tool can do it too https://www.strmtool.app/

[vapid charm]

Might be limited to the paid tier iirc.

[spark pollen]

ooo well that will save me a lot of time then! Just saw that this might be able to do it as well https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/lioranboard-stream-deck-animator.862/

seems like one of those 3 should work. thanks for the help!

[fiery glade]

Is there a way to detect browser tab name to trigger switch Scene or change visibility of certain source?

What I'm trying to do is for example, I stream Firefox opening Google, I want to automatically censor some part of top right, so it censors the account/email list.
But when I switch to different tab, the censor is turned off or switch to a scene that still have Firefox as source but without censor.

[whole nimbus]

hey so quick question: I had obs live installed but it always opened up a new firefox (default browser) page whenever i restarted a new comp that links to the OBS Livestream website

is there a way to delete that? I think it's an API?

[untold jay]

@fiery glade just use firefox container tabs, google won't recognize you on a different container (they'll still track you, of course, but you won't show up as signed in)

[oblique yew]

To cleanly remove the OBS.live plugin:

1. Uninstall OBS.Live
2. Uninstall OBS Studio (make sure that "User Settings" is not selected)
3. Install OBS Studio again from https://obsproject.com/
   Your settings will be saved unless you have selected to delete them during removal.

[hard jay]

!docks @brisk cosmos

[oblique yew]

@brisk cosmos

You can manage your docks from the View > Docks menu.
You can toggle docks on and off, or lock or unlock docks to prevent moving and editing.
You can also reset the UI from this menu to return your docks to their original state (View > Docks > Reset UI).

[brisk cosmos]

Thank you mate. I'm not sure what the URL is for that dock though as OBS studio just had it when i installed it. Now its not there so i'm not sure what i'm looking for

[hard jay]

If it doesn't show up in the docks, your account probably got disconnected.

Those docks don't show up unless it's linked, just go to Settings -> Stream, and disconnect/reconnect your account

they should show back up in that menu after that

did i finish a guide on that? i thought i did, but i don't seem to have it published

• In OBS select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.

[quiet bramble]

Usually if OBS Shaderfilter doesn't show up in OBS it is because it wasn't installed properly or there are more than one copy of OBS installed and it was put into the wrong one. Same thing happens with other plugins also. Someone on StreamFX discord for example couldn't get that plugin to work, and it turned out it was they had OBS installed twice, once on C: and another on D:, and StreamFX installed into the OBS that they weren't using (and might not have known or remembered was even there).

See this problem happen with people a lot.

In the case of a plugin that you have to manually install by dragging and dropping the files into the correct place, the usual problems are one of: 1) downloading the source code of the plugin rather than the actual plugin. 2) Not copying the files into the correct OBS installation when multiple installations are present that the user might not even be aware of. 3) Copying files to the right place but not copying all of them. 4) Trying to install a 64bit plugin into 32bit OBS or vice versa which will not work.

5. Not meeting the system requirements of the plugin in terms of software and/or hardware (such as OBS version compatibility, video hardware or CPU compatibility etc.)

The log file often yields clues as to whether one of the above problems might be the case.

Oh I see, I'm not sure to be honest
I'd imagine something exists, but can't name anything unfortunately. You'll need to ask someone else, I'm sorry

i accidentally finished a guide again; forum moderators, please approve at your convenience https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-share-video-and-audio-between-two-or-more-obs-studio-instances.1248/

[worthy token]

So I'm trying to achieve an effect and I'm not sure where to start with this, but is there a way to have a source toggled visible when it hears mic audio, and toggled invisible when there's no mic audio.

Or more simply, Image Slideshow that only plays when audio is heard.

[untold jay]

@worthy token i can see two ways of doing this, both more or less equally difficult:

1. install spectralizer and configure it so that when audio plays, it turns almost completely white, and when audio doesn't play, it's all transparent, then install streamFX and use its dynamic mask feature to use that whiteness as a mask on the opacity of the image slideshow
2. install vb-audio voicemeeter banana and use the "macro buttons" feature to trigger a hotkey press when audio breaches certain loudness threshold
   both methods require a significant amount of reading the respective manuals

[worthy token]

I already have things set up a "press to show" hotkey on the image-slideshow I want, and I already have voice meter banana, so maybe I can make that work. Thanks. Didn't know Voice Meter can do that.

Voice Meter hears audio from mic, presses key, key shows source in scene. Seems simple enogh.

i accidentally finished a guide again; forum moderators, please approve at your convenience https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-share-video-and-audio-between-two-or-more-obs-studio-instances.1248/

[visual compass]

hey does anyone know of a heart monitoring software that doesnt use pulsoid or similar? i want something local rather than using a sketchy web service

I dont wanna have to use a phone app because i have an ANT+ antenna from when i used to do virtual biking

[thorn anvil]

How do I uninstall a plugin?

[white dune]

do what you did to install it, but the opposite

[inner marsh]

this looks really good 👍

[nocturne imp]

Hey hey, did some initial research into using a USB piano as an obs controller with no luck - any leads or tips?

[inner marsh]

maybe the obs midi plugin? dont know exactly if it would work but it may

Is there a way over obs-websocket to start the obs-virtual-cam plugin filters?

[grand trout]

Hello. I'm building my first plugin. Is there an easier way to build it without having to rebuild the whole OBS project?

[white dune]

i just put my build dir outside of the obs build dir

[boreal hearth]

!plugintemplate

[oblique yew]

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

[boreal hearth]

that repository builds a plugin as a separate project from obs, but unless you change obs code it should only rebuild your plugin anyways

[grand trout]

thanks! I just didn't want to have to download about 6gb of software to build the plugin.

[boreal hearth]

well you'll have to build obs studio at least once, there's no easy way around that

[peak vector]

Qt is about 2GB from their installer or you can download our pre-built dependencies which is less then 1 GB source downloads including OBS and all submodules

[grand trout]

I did that. Just installed Qt, etc. Configured the enviroment variables, but it still says Qt and CEF are not configured. I disabled browser and Qt and it worked. Don't think I need that to build the plugin anyway

[grand trout]

I can't build the plugin because apparently the caption.h is missing in the make install target. Maybe this is a bug?

[grand trout]

I'm getting an error on my log which is preventing my plugin from loading.
obs_register_source: Tried to register obs_source_info with size 392 which is more than libobs currently supports (384)
How is this possible if I'm using the correct obs_source_info? Can't find information anywhere.

hey, how do i use my audio filters that are in obs on other applications. (discord, game chats, etc. etc.)

[inner marsh]

!vbcable

[oblique yew]

1. Install VB-Audio CABLE. (A reboot is not required)
2. In OBS Studio, go to Settings > Audio and select "CABLE Input" as your Monitoring Device
3. Go to Edit > Advanced Audio Properties and enable Audio Monitoring for the audio sources you'd like to stream to Discord.
4. In Discord, in Voice & Video settings, select "CABLE Output" instead of your microphone under "Input device".

Now anything you monitor in OBS Studio will be streamed to Discord. Similar steps will work with other conferencing apps, such as Microsoft Teams or Slack.

[glad swift]

it doesnt allow me to select Cable input... Anyone know?

wait i fixed it tysm asher and obs bot

it seems like OBS is at least some files from the move plugin. Did you use the installer?

[errant jewel]

yes i did

[analog ruin]

weird. And you've restarted OBS since installing I assume?

[errant jewel]

yes

should i remove and retry is that possible

[analog ruin]

could you run the installer again, and confirm that the path it gives you is in fact the correct one (the on you use for OBS)?

you can right click > properties on the OBS shortcut you use to check the path

it doesnt even give me the option to change path

nope

[analog ruin]

right, I guess its because its already installed

and I assume if we open OBS back up its still missing (I can check a new log if you want)

im gonna assume its installing it to a different OBS installation than the one you're using. Maybe an old install pointed to (x86), instead of without, or it was at some point installed to a different location etc

yeah, still nothing in there

[errant jewel]

so how do i remove it then restart maybe?

or do i just copy and past it into the x86 plugin folder

[analog ruin]

I would to 2 things.
1, get the path of OBS > #plugins-and-tools message
2, uninstall the move plugin, and re-install it. Compare the path (you should get a box this time)

[errant jewel]

my way just worked so its running at x86 and the file location was going to the program files version

https://prnt.sc/118re5m

[analog ruin]

gotcha. Yeah, thats unfortunate. The path in the registry most likely does not match yours. I dont know of a conveient way to fix this, except re-installing OBS (which also involves re-installing all of your plugins 😦 )

[errant jewel]

and i guess thats because im using the streamelements obs live or what not im new to obs after being on slobs for 2 years and lets just say im super excited

[analog ruin]

cool 😄 welcome

[errant jewel]

now with the move transition can i select for instance my 16.9 cam and transition into my 16.9 portrait cam within the same scene or do i need to make multiple scenes with these setup so it transitions for say scene 1 horizontal to scene 2 portrait?

[analog ruin]

I cant answer, I've never used the move-transition plugin, but hopefully others can soon 🙂

GUYSS I NEED HELP

[oblique yew]

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

[still delta]

Hello! I'm wondering, how should I go about "Having Microphone input being detected, so when its state changes, some sources' visibility is switched"?
Is there a plugin for this? Or a script?
Sorry, that's plugin - Advanced Scene Switcher has "audio based scene switching"
EDIT: But sadly it doesn't switch sources. And if it does something with sources, it's only audio sources.

[untold jay]

@still delta voicemeeter banana has "macro buttons", which may be triggered by breaching certain loudness thresholds, i think i used that at some point

[still delta]

But then I'd have to install the whole Banana, only to have it detect that Audio Source is silent, and cast a macro key combo to switch some source on/off.
Wide workaround.

Advanced Scene Switcher is perfect, it has everything. If it only also allowed Source switching, next Scene switching

[untold jay]

@still delta i too wish there was a better solution, but i don't know of any
you could request this in their github issues section, though: https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/issues

[still delta]

I will 😁

[mortal harbor]

If your sources are in nested scenes, would it work?

[untold jay]

@mortal harbor nested scenes definitely do work, why?

[mortal harbor]

well, I meant in context for viola. If she can create individual nested scenes with only her individual sources, then perhaps the scene switcher can give her the results she wants.

[still delta]

Nested scenes.. I think my setup is already built around nesting scenes. I'd have to run duplicates of scenes with slight differences, which gets troublesome in long run - unless I'd come up with other system

[weak escarp]

You can use the audio move filter that is part of the move transition plugin for that.

Hi, i have question... My Droidcam OBS is working, but in my phone there is an message "(!) Update Plugin" on the upper left corner? How do i update it 😄

latest app has been installed

oh, i feel silly, found it 😄

Happy Sunday everyone 🙂

[weak escarp]

My first try creating downstream keyer plugin:
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-downstream-keyer/actions/runs/738349638

[untold jay]

now i have two downstream keyers, and they both seem to be working

[weak escarp]

More options is better 🙂

[random cave]

Have the dock, but the linked PR mentions having the scene being "global". Is it how your plugin works as well? cant seem to find a way to use it.

[weak escarp]

clicking the plus icon adds the current scene to the dock
the selected scene in the downstream keyer dock is shown over the current scene
clicking the pause icon makes no scene selected in the downstream keyer

[untold jay]

i'd love a similar gui for projectors, to be able to add, remove and toggle their visibility

[vapid charm]

Could you ELI5? Assuming I'm reading it right it basically acts like the virtual cam and puts that bit in the dock?

[weak escarp]

As you can see in this example an empty scene is selected in the scenes dock, the text displayed in the preview is from the selected scene in the downstream keyer dock

@vapid charm does this explain it for you?

[vapid charm]

It "does" explain it. Is it text only or does other source types work?

[weak escarp]

it shows scenes, so every source that is on that scene will be shown

[inner marsh]

Does only show one scene over top at a time or can it be multiple overtop?

[white dune]

Just make a scene with scenes as scene items.

[random cave]

my dock has no buttons

it had when i first opened obs

[vale vine]

With more scenes in scenes. Some real "inception" type stuff.....

[oblique yew]

You can manage your docks from the View > Docks menu.
You can toggle docks on and off, or lock or unlock docks to prevent moving and editing.
You can also reset the UI from this menu to return your docks to their original state (View > Docks > Reset UI).

[random cave]

Thanks! It didnt fix it though

[weak escarp]

that is strange, I will investigate it later today

[random cave]

thanks, and might I add thank you for all you've done for OBS 🙂

[ancient otter]

@oblique yew how to i connect my soundtrack by twitch to my obs

[still delta]

Oh wow! I didn't expect that feature in Move Transition 😅 Thanks a lot, it's straight to the point, perfect

[grizzled stream]

same here with v26.1.1 when set a new scene transition

i add move (move transition plugin) and then set it in the downstream keyer
everything inside the dock stopped showing

https://obsproject.com/logs/dGoCLbecmvh3Xcji

[tawdry pasture]

Im having issue with the ASIO plugin for OBS. i can install the plugin, but the tab doesnt show up, and im unsure how to utilize the application the best of its ability. I have an Audio card that has two microphone ports, im trying to use both of those ports at the same time, but under the asio plug, the audio card doesnt show as an option. Can someone assist with this? im using the audiobox usb 96 sound card

@clear inlet i have an audiobox usb 96 soundcard

[weak escarp]

That crash looks to be a source reference leak crashing on shutdown, will test it with a move source transition tomorrow

[exotic snow]

What is the proper way to package plugins. I could just use something like visual studio to create a .dll from the c code, but the OBS Plugin Template project seems to infer that there's a better way

[weak escarp]

@random cave @grizzled stream can you test if this version fixes the empty downstream keyer dock?
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-downstream-keyer/actions/runs/740127668

[random cave]

@weak escarp fixes it. Weird behaviour though, which I think might be a bug: When adding a new scene, the complete DSK dock is cleared out

[weak escarp]

yeah that is a bug, let me find a better way to implement it

[random cave]

thanks

[clear inlet]

@tawdry pasture I'd need to see a log for starters.

[random cave]

@weak escarp Also, there's a "Downstream Keyer 1" on the top of the dock. Its supposed to allow for more than 1?
I can see that i can add multiple scenes to a dsk and cycle between them. Would it be possible to show them all at the same time as well? Eg: scene 1 + scene2 instead of scene1 OR scene2

[weak escarp]

more than one is supported by the background code, but I have not made a UI for it yet

[random cave]

cool stuff

thanks for making this happen

[weak escarp]

new version is building here:
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-downstream-keyer/actions/runs/740355620

[spare echo]

Cannot wait to see this downstream keyer expanded omg

[weak escarp]

any particular features you want added?

[random cave]

I'd like a UI like vmix's

but might be a stretch 🙂

[spare echo]

@weak escarp maybe the possibility of Per Scene Transition with Duration (if its not a stinger that is)

and I dunno if stacking is a thing either, to send multiple downstreams at the same time?

stacking order based on activity or maybe in hierarchy, or assign a number and the higher it is, the more "on top" it is

just some stuff off the top of my head

[random cave]

Stacking is +1 from me

[daring plover]

The rfc is a great place to discus the feature https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/11

[spare echo]

I mean, sure @daring plover but Exeldro did respond to me here technically

[spare echo]

I've just seen the new 27 build has per source hide and show transitions, this may actually be what I am looking for

[urban schooner]

Is there any way to multicast to multiple platforms at once in OBS? I know slobs has one but I don't want to pay for their premium

[peak vector]

On Windows you can use the multi-rtmp plugin

!multirtmp

[oblique yew]

A third party plug-in for streaming to multiple RTMP servers is available for OBS Studio. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964

[urban schooner]

Thank you

[grizzled stream]

I tried the v0.0.3

Issue #1
When add a new scene collection, the only 2 transitions you have are cut and fade
If you add a new scene transition, this transition does not appear in the plugin until you restart OBS

Issue #2
Add a new scene transition (swipe i.e.)
Restart OBS
The transition appears in the dock now
Create a new scene collection (only cut and fade transitions)
This new transition (swipe) is still shown in the dock

[weak escarp]

Thank you, fixing them now

[raven quarry]

Hey, I'm unable to resolve microphone latency. Trying to use OBS to stream singing so the slight delay is impossible to play with. I'm routing my microphone through a behringer u-phoria umc22, standard 2x2 audio interface. I don't want to monitor directly from the behringer as I can't hear my audio filters. I had a similar issue with my DAW (Ableton), which I resolved using ASIO4ALL. I downloaded the ASIO plugin for OBS but I'm getting the the "bassasio.dll not found" error. I tried to resolve this by following the steps in the error message, (moving to x64 folder), with still no luck. Any ideas?

(screenshot error message)

[solar dust]

Don't put it in obs-plugins/x64 folder but in obs-plugins/64bit folder
The issue was already reported: https://github.com/Andersama/obs-asio/issues/78

[grizzled stream]

The transitions fix works fine for me

Another issue
When add a scene to the Downstream Keyer dock (2 in my test) and then create a new scene collection, that added scenes are still on the dock in the new collection

In addition, if you delete a scene that is added on the dock, that scene is still active despite having been deleted

[raven quarry]

I tried this, downloading the bassasio file and extracting to /64Bit, restarted computer, still getting the same error

[solar dust]

In the archive there is a x64 folder, inside there is the dll you need to put in obs-plugins/64bit

[raven quarry]

oh ok so I just purely need to copy the .dll file across

[raven quarry]

It worked, thanks very much!

[grand trout]

I wrote a filter to transfer the source image to shared memory region upon a hotkey press. Problem is that it takes way to long (70-80ms). What would be a better place to capture the source buffer more efficiently (no effects or anything, just the plain thing being captured from game window)?

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp have you had any time to look at the Move Source position thing we spoke about previously?
#plugins-and-tools message

[weak escarp]

have not found a good way to implement it yet, it still is on my todo list, but at the moment I want to get the downstream keyer plugin more stable first

[harsh topaz]

Fair enough. Good to know it's on the list, it's a feature that'd improve the flow of transitions between multiple camera sizes and amount greatly! 🙂 Appreciate the reply.

have not found a good way to implement it yet

pos: x 0 y 0 rot: 0.0 scale: x 1.000 y 1.000 bounds: x 0 y 0 crop: l 0 t 0 r 0 b 0

Dividing this up into their own fields - and giving the user the option to have each field individually be either "Fixed" or "Relative" would fix the problem/give the flexibility.

That way you could set scale to 0 Fixed, and rest relative I believe. 🙂

[harsh topaz]

Woah, that DSK looks like a pretty slick project. How stable, or unstable, is it atm?

[random cave]

build #12 is working fine for the basic stuff i guess

didnt try deleting scenes that are being used as DSKs though

[weak escarp]

It has some occasional crash on shutdown and scene rename and delete are not supported automatic yet, so you have to fix those by hand.
I expect all the bugs I know now to be fixed within a week.

[harsh topaz]

Ah, aka. 'dont use it in production yet' hehe. Looks promising though! We been doing lower thirds and such by overlaying scenes and using move sources. Did you read my suggestion for solution further up?

[weak escarp]

yeah, the way I am thinking of making it is splitting relative option into 3 options: absolute, relative add and relative factor

[harsh topaz]

Have no doubt that makes sense from an experts pov, but I must admit from a plebians that seems a bit confusing. What benefits would this have over fixed/relative?

[wind leaf]

theres a plugin but i need it too and have no idea where it is

oh I was reading earlier chat

I need the multicast plugin if at all possible

[vapid charm]

!multirtmp

[oblique yew]

A third party plug-in for streaming to multiple RTMP servers is available for OBS Studio. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964

[wind leaf]

they need to give you a raise

[weak escarp]

Maybe something like this for configuring relative and fixed in a single text field:
pos: x+0 y+0 rot:+0.0 scale: x*1.000 y*1.000 bounds: x+0 y+0 crop: l+0 t*0 r/1 b-0
no sign is fixed and support the signs +,-,/,*

[harsh topaz]

And relative would be * then I assume?

Sounds like that could would ye - would give some extra features for those who might be looking for it. I can't specifically see what the scenario for that would be right now but I'm sure there's plenty usecases out there 🙂

[weak escarp]

I got inspired and made a new version, can you test if this works for you?
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-move-transition/actions/runs/744655988

[harsh topaz]

sure, but I'm really busy in the midst of something right now, but for sure when I find a minute.

Exeldro, enjoy that cup of coffee or tea 😉

[north mica]

Can plugins be written in c++ or just c? The OBS getting started doc mentions both but all the examples I've seen are just c.

[wary escarp]

both work

[peak hollow]

the interface is C, but you can use c++ to write your plugin

[north mica]

Excellent - thanks!

[quiet bramble]

@north mica StreamFX is C++ if you're looking for examples of C++ OBS plugins

[north mica]

Thanks!

[sand elbow]

Anyone know of a way to just capture video cam footage from discord and inject it into a obs overlay/s?

[lime lance]

no

[quiet bramble]

You have to capture the Discord window and crop it. Discord doesn't export its video in any way (ie: NDI/Spout) so the only way is to capture what the program shows.

[wild wigeon]

Hi everyone!

Is anyone familiar with the Multiple RTMP output plugin by sorayuki?

I posted this in the forums and over on #macos-support already but thought I'd copy. my inquiry over here too...I went ahead and installed the plugin on macOS but I do not see it available as a Dock. I verified that it is installed in the correct directory as well as restarted my Mac & the OBS application. I'm not sure what else to try so I thought I'd reach out here.

I'm on macOS Catalina (10.15.7)

[weak escarp]

the scale option is only shown for scene items that have bounding box type set to none

[harsh topaz]

Shit, so non of my scenes

[weak escarp]

than size using the bounding box

[harsh topaz]

Ah, okay. It showed both on previous version though.

I was having a hard time understanding why there was 2 though.

[weak escarp]

yes both showed and only 1 worked

[harsh topaz]

Perhaps for visual display you could visually show it as 'scale' even if it's changing the bounding box? Just change backend what it actually changes.

Unless that somehow conflicts. I dunno, I can just see it getting confusing ^^

[weak escarp]

to calculate the display size of a source you can have original size of the source times the scale
or the bouding box size
so bounds and scale or not the same

I hope it gets less confusing by removing the one that does nothing

[harsh topaz]

Didn't we do that last time, and ended up with it endlessly multiplying it going into negative and inverting the picture?

How'd I go about setting the pos to relative, and the bounds to fixed 0?

[weak escarp]

for relative use a +,-,/ or * instead of the space in front of the number

[wild wigeon]

pos: x*320 y*340 rot: 0.0 bounds: x 640 y 360 crop: l 0 t 0 r 0 b 0

did what I wanted. But in my head it should be "bounds" that decides the size? (640x360 to 0x0) 😕

Nope, it's an actual Mac

Yeah. Gonna have to leave it to them as I'm not sure what would be causing it.

[harsh topaz]

Also, found a tiny teeny bug @weak escarp https://streamable.com/4qot88

(Typed * twice by accident)

[inner marsh]

@wild wigeon that plugin works on my intel mac, let me look into it a little

[harsh topaz]

So.. all my sources now started disappearing pressing the 'enable filter' while being on the default settings that before showed them.

pos: x 320 y 710 rot: 0.0 bounds: x 640 y 360 crop: l 0 t 0 r 0 b 0

fairly sure this shouldn't make a source minimize into nothing. Can't figure out why it's happening.

[wild wigeon]

Hmm interesting. Thanks @inner marsh

[harsh topaz]

Could be it's conflicting with an OBS bug..

I loveee the 90001 bug.

Some things are definitely bugging in the tool too, now pressing 'Get transform' doesn't get the transform it's stuck on Transform Relative hmm.

[weak escarp]

@harsh topaz found bugs, fixing them now

[harsh topaz]

I was trying to create a repo, but it wouldn't let me set default transform again 😄

[weak escarp]

new version building now:
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-move-transition/actions/runs/745883128

[harsh topaz]

pos: x+0.0 y+0.0 rot:+0.0 bounds: x*0.000 y*0.000 crop: l+0 t+0 r+0 b+0 now that's more like it

@weak escarp Appears to be working at least from initial testing. Pretty poggers my doggers 👍

Is there any way to get similar functionality in the 'Move Transition' part? (currently)

[storm stirrup]

anyone know of a linux obs browsersource plugin that lets you control the audio through obs, like the windows build does?

[split glen]

Has anyone worked out using OBS to capture the audio from a DAW like Studio One?

[storm stirrup]

there is an asio plugin im pretty sure

https://github.com/Andersama/obs-asio

have not used myself but might work

[wild wigeon]

Issue resolved with a simple re-install. I'm good to go 👍

[ivory hull]

Hi, someone knows if there is a way or a bot to announce twitch notification on a discord server channel ? (follow sub cheer...) Thanks 🙂

I have searched everywhere but nothing about it... it's really weird ^^

[vale vine]

@ivory hull mee6

[ivory hull]

@vale vine You can announce when you are in LIVE but that's all right ?

[vale vine]

Yep, use it in my server

[ivory hull]

Sure but you cannot announce when someone have follow or sub ?

[vale vine]

That sounds obnoxious.

I would quickly mute a bot if I got announcements for new follows

I promise you, nobody that might be a part of your server actually wants that

[ivory hull]

For moderators it is a really great tools 🙂

[vale vine]

No, because if you have moderators they will be in the stream seeing it

Nobody wants excessive discord pings and notifications for useless stuff

Except for the sole person who's ego is being stroked

[ivory hull]

I'm not agree with you it can be great for subs 🙂 they love it

[vale vine]

You create a role and give then fancy colors/special permissions.

Ask someone who's actually very successful at content creation and I promise you they are gonna say the same stuff I'm saying

[ivory hull]

Yeah with twitch subscriber role i see what you want... but i just wanted a live discord channel event ^^

[vale vine]

Also, this conversation has nothing to do with obs and doesn't belong in this channel

[ivory hull]

I'm in obs community and plugins and tools what you mean ?

[vale vine]

Third party tools and plugins for obs

Not tools for discord

[ivory hull]

Can be an obs tools btw ^^ anyway have a great day 😂

[mortal harbor]

Hello, I'd like my phone audio and my mic audio (apple ear buds plugged into phone) to be heard on stream, is anyone able to help me?

[sand pilot]

Hello, I am trying to add HotKey in a custom plugin, I am currently using the obs_hotkey_pair_register_source() function to define a start and a stop hotkey.
With only that I do not have any added HotKey in the parameters concerning my custom plugin. How should I integrate my hotkey to be able to assign them as a user in the parameters ?
(ps: my custom plugin is a custom source)

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Is there any way to get similar functionality in the 'Move Transition' part? (currently) - Selecting 'None' in the position just makes them move to 'Center' (little strange since there is a center option already).

[weak escarp]

none should not be the same as center, let me test that

center is the center of the scene and none keeps the source in position, seems to work for me

[harsh topaz]

Hmm, can I DM you what it does for me?

All the source's that are 'disappearing' seem to be moving middle to me. Is this intended?

is the source the same size as the scene?
Not exactly sure what you mean by this?

Hmm, the screenshare screen does indeed collapse in on itself.

[weak escarp]

if the source on the scene is the same size as the scene itself than none and center will have the same effect

[harsh topaz]

Ah, so it's because they're vanished (0x0) in the center on a second scene probably. Hold up let me check 👍

Ah ye, that seem to be the issue.. hmm.

Is there a way to treat 'matched' sources as not matched? Not sure how else to bypass this behaviour hmm.

It's because my "disappearing" sources aren't actually "disappearing", they're still there just collapsed into 0x0.

Hmm, nvm actually don't think there's a logical way out of this. It'll just have to be how it is because I don't think there's a way to dynamically determine a sources vanish point depending on what scene/position it was at before.

Thanks though 👍

[vapid charm]

@weak escarp Outside of the obs-lua repo is there any reason I shouldn't get the artifact downloads for your plugins vs getting them from the forum post? Or do they both go to the same place?

[weak escarp]

the downloads on the OBS forum are GitHub action artifacts that have been verified, so should be more stable

not every artifact on GitHub is release worthy

[vapid charm]

Ah.

I was also confused as one of the repos had only mac and linux artifacts for some reason. Went back again and windows was there mysteriously.

[elfin gate]

anyone can help me about this problem

[peak vector]

You were already told that you need to contact that support for the app you are using

[elfin gate]

what apps ?

[analog ruin]

manyCams and redDragon

[elfin gate]

why manycam and reddragon ? my problem is when i connect my phone to hdmi video capture , that qr code appear

[analog ruin]

its most likely from manyCam or redDragon. Remove the top most capture, and I assume it will go away. If you dont need them, remove them or dont add them

[elfin gate]

what top most capture

[analog ruin]

@elfin gate

[elfin gate]

sorry for asking too many question

i remove it , but it still here the qr code

[analog ruin]

alright, remove the next one on the list. One of them is showing you that QR code, I dont know which one it is

[analog ruin]

there is one left 😅 which is the one showing you the QR code

[elfin gate]

i remove all , but when i add video capture device whre my phone is connected , qr code will apear again

[analog ruin]

right, and what option are you picking to show your phone?

[elfin gate]

video capture device

[analog ruin]

yes, and when you add that, you get to select from difference devices. manyCam, red dragon etc. I dont know how they work, they do not come from us

[elfin gate]

?

@simple fern

[nova stirrup]

I have a plugin that I've built with XCode. It runs fine with my local build of OBS, and also with the app bundle I built, but when I attempt to add it to the package contents in the "retail" version I simply downloaded from the OBS GitHub site (as if I was an end user installing it) - it crashes during registration. Any ideas how to trouble shoot this or what the problem could possibly be? Here are some details:

[white dune]

i say it's a mismatched structure definition

ensure that you are building against the same libobs version as you are running

[simple fern]

The obs I’m tryna share screen on discord the other way w the camera but it pops up a black screen

[nova stirrup]

Thanks. This is my conclusion also.

[nova stirrup]

...how to sort it all out is another challenge.

[white dune]

check out the version of libobs tagged with the version you plan to run in

[nova stirrup]

So... the version of OBS is 26.1.2. How do I determine which version of the libs that version of OBS is using? (my plugin runs fine with my build of OBS).

Could this be a difference in the minimum SDK target of my build?

How do I determine the min SDK of the downloaded version of OBS?

[trail coral]

Can u show me

[trail coral]

Can u show me then?

[white dune]

btw, to avoid a crash, your plugin can do something like this:

bool obs_module_load(void) {
    if(obs_get_version() < LIBOBS_API_VER) {
        return false;
    }

    obs_register_source(&window_follower);
    return true;
}```

[simple fern]

I will when I get home

[nova stirrup]

Thank-you for this. Checking now....

[white dune]

there will be but a single line in the log if obs_module_load returns false. no crash.

[dark sapphire]

If you are building using latest master, that is why. You could try building a git tag, but the Mac build script changes so often you may run into trouble

[nova stirrup]

Hmmmmm. 'obs_get_version() is defined as:

uint32_t obs_get_version(void)
{
return LIBOBS_API_VER;
}

So ...

if ( obs_get_version() < LIBS_API_VER )
{
// will never get here
}

[white dune]

not quite

one is a function import resolved at load time, the other is a constant resolved at compile time

[nova stirrup]

Ah

Well.. this isn't my problem then. 😉

[white dune]

just don't link libobs statically and the check will work

[nova stirrup]

Looking

[nova stirrup]

How does one know what deployment target was used for the 'retail' build of OBS?

[white dune]

as i mentioned, there are tags. as in git tags

[nova stirrup]

Sorry - I'm an idiot. In GitHub, I just see tags like this:

How would I see what they linked with?

[white dune]

27.0.0-rc2 is attached to the commit with the hash dca1d37

and you can specify a tag instead of a commit when doing a checkout. not sure about the syntax, but you can.

[nova stirrup]

At run time, it's crashing inside obs_register_source_s() in a call to memcpy(). The memcpy is copying from an obs_source_info structure to an obs->input_types.da. The size that is passed in must be wrong, which means the obs_source_info struct is different. So... I must be linking with an incompatible OBS library. The question is, which one, and which version should I be linking with?

void obs_register_source_s(const struct obs_source_info *info, size_t size)
{
struct obs_source_info data = {0};
struct darray *array = NULL;

if (info->type == OBS_SOURCE_TYPE_INPUT) {
    array = &obs->input_types.da;
} else if (info->type == OBS_SOURCE_TYPE_FILTER) {
    array = &obs->filter_types.da;
} else if (info->type == OBS_SOURCE_TYPE_TRANSITION) {
    array = &obs->transition_types.da;
} else if (info->type != OBS_SOURCE_TYPE_SCENE) {
    source_warn("Tried to register unknown source type: %u",
            info->type);
    goto error;
}

if (get_source_info2(info->id, info->version)) {
    source_warn("Source '%s' already exists!  "
            "Duplicate library?",
            info->id);
    goto error;
}

memcpy(&data, info, size);

[white dune]

as i say, link with the version used at runtime. can't go wrong with an exact version match.

if you run obs 26.1.0, then link with the version of libobs tagged as 26.1.0

[nova stirrup]

See the problem is, the plugin will need to work with what ever is out there in the wild. I can't just assume that I can link with the same library the user in Winnepeg has.

[white dune]

pick a minimum version and link against that

[nova stirrup]

So I have to figure out how to get a minimal version of the OBS libs.

That's weird though. The libs I'm linking with from OBS got pulled down with a build back in December. The "retail" version that is installed on my system is from March. Very weird.

[white dune]

i wrote "pick a minimum version"

it's a choice you make

[nova stirrup]

I understand. I just don't understand why the version I'm currently linking with (which is older) is not compatible with the retail version of OBS I have installed in "Applications". I understand the nature of the problem - just not how/why it's happening in my case. I'll see what I can do about downgrading the OBS version I'm building against.

[white dune]

that's strange, i don't think there was a release in Mars...

[nova stirrup]

Well... not sure what the date was, but I pulled down a DMG in late Feb or March I think. I had ONLY been running from source prior to that.

[white dune]

i think you downloaded an older version than what you are building against

[mortal harbor]

hi my game capture is causing my game to crash instantly (outriders) may someone help please?

whenever I click on my 2nd monitor to interact with obs it crashes

[wary escarp]

At this point I believe this might be a bug:
I created an output, successfully registered and started it. It has both .raw_video and .raw_audio functions.
Now, when I set:

• .flags = OBS_OUTPUT_AV, both of these functions get called, as intended.
• .flags = OBS_OUTPUT_VIDEO, only .raw_video gets called, as intended.
• .flags = OBS_OUTPUT_AUDIO, nothing gets called. Is this intended or a bug? Or do you need a video output to also get an audio output in OBS?

[dark sapphire]

Well, generally OBS is designed to be an A+V output app.

obs-ndi seems to use OBS_OUTPUT_AUDIO though

obs-ndi uses it in combination with obs_output_begin_data_capture()

[wary escarp]

probably thats the reason for it's existence then
maybe the docs should say something about not being able to create an audio only obs_output_info. obs-ndi seems to just set OBS_OUTPUT_AV there

[dark sapphire]

hmm, you'd be correct

It might just not have been tested in your use case

[wary escarp]

hmm, for me setting .flags = OBS_OUTPUT_AV and calling obs_output_begin_data_capture(output, OBS_OUTPUT_AUDIO) doesn't seem to work either, so I perhaps did something wrong somewhere else 🤔

interestingly, both obs_output_begin_data_capture(output, OBS_OUTPUT_AUDIO) and obs_output_can_begin_data_capture(output, OBS_OUTPUT_AUDIO) return true

anyways, ill roll with just ignoring video for now, maybe ill find the "correct" solution later 😄

[royal raptor]

man virtual cables are driving me insane

[inner marsh]

they can do that

[minor dome]

Hey my chat disappeared do you know how I can get them back

[royal raptor]

go to view docks and then your chat

[minor dome]

Its not showing up I even installed OBS Live and it didn't work

[loud pond]

All plugins I install on OBS do not recognize any, what could be happening?

[minor dome]

Try using a older obs client.

[inner marsh]

No

[inner marsh]

what plugins have you tried?

[oblique yew]

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

[loud pond]

Recursion effect master, automatic scene switcher, none works, nor appears in the obs

[inner marsh]

do you use the installers for the plugins?

[minor dome]

isn't automatic scene switch built into OBS?

[inner marsh]

and do you restart obs after installing the plugins

[inner marsh]

they are most likely talking about the advanced scene switcher plugin, which is its own plugin

[loud pond]

never used it, always copied the files in the folder as they teach out there, can you tell me an installer?

[minor dome]

streamelements obs live isn't working it prompts me to update it I update it and it still doesn't work.

[oblique yew]

If you need help with StreamElements plugins or services, please join their Discord server or submit a support ticket as we cannot provide further assistance here.

[loud pond]

no installer comes

I have already reinstalled the obs and it remains the same, it does not recognize the plugins

[inner marsh]

@loud pond so when you download the zip, open it and then the windows folder, then open the AdvancedSceneSwitcherSetup.exe and run that

[loud pond]

does not appear in the obs, complicated

[inner marsh]

Did you run the installer that’s in the zip?

[loud pond]

yes, i already installed and even restarted the computer

[inner marsh]

Can you screenshot what you ran

[unkempt pike]

how can i put something on my camera on a meeting with obs?

[white dune]

the virtual camera feature seems like what you want

[stoic shore]

is there a plugin like virtual cam but for audio?

[oblique yew]

1. Install VB-Audio CABLE. (A reboot is not required)
2. In OBS Studio, go to Settings > Audio and select "CABLE Input" as your Monitoring Device
3. Go to Edit > Advanced Audio Properties and enable Audio Monitoring for the audio sources you'd like to stream to Discord.
4. In Discord, in Voice & Video settings, select "CABLE Output" instead of your microphone under "Input device".

Now anything you monitor in OBS Studio will be streamed to Discord. Similar steps will work with other conferencing apps, such as Microsoft Teams or Slack.

i have a 9mb clip i can upload showing what I mean

I can trim it down. 9mb seems to be too much for another server

Make the black part glowing and the glowing stuff black.

the cord and weights are both raver neon yellow

It's also super UV reactive

[earnest delta]

So question, I used one of Nerds ot Die quick install Overlays. Now when I get a follower the Overlay stays as: "Stream Label" and I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this?

[vapid charm]

@earnest delta you'd have to speak with whoever you use as an alert provider.

[main canyon]

and for some reason every time i ad a source mirror and point it at the previous source mirror (just for render delay) it makes it brighter with every additional source mirror, idk why

[quiet bramble]

@main canyon FYI - you can remux videos from MKV to MP4 in the File menu, or turn on auto-remux in settings. MP4 files can be embedded and played right in Discord (unlike MKV)

You can stack multiple render delay filters on a single source BTW.

[main canyon]

yeah i thought so after the fact ia lready just did 4 render delays each one pointing to the last, and each render delay was set to 100ms

instead of all of them pointing at source and setting them 100,200,300,400 ms appart

[quiet bramble]

What GPU are you using BTW?

[stark ocean]

I have NDI (audio only) set up on my auxiliary PC. Audio meter shows audio information is being received on my streaming PC, but there's no audio in my recordings or streams. I'm not sure what is happening. It was working before but now its just broken.

In a different video I have. I'm still digesting the thing you said earlier. Will this change it for just that specific scene or?

I have a couple of videos I want to sync together, but i can't just start both at the same time

because i walked over hit record on one, and then walked over and hit record on the other so they are different file length sizes

[main canyon]

ah ha i think delay render

urgggh i have to do it separately for each file too what a pain

no, that has a max of 500 ms, i need 9000ms of delay before the 2nd one starts

video async does it though

[main canyon]

It will probably do be better to edit these manually unless there's a quick way to set a different time for each file pair

[quiet bramble]

You want to invert the brightness. There are different ways to do that which will have varying results. The simplest way to do it, is to use the OBS built in color correction filter and move the contrast fader all the way hard left.

There are 2 potential problems with that which may or may not be a problem.

[main canyon]

i think I did already, I'm not sure

I had closed it cause i was editing video in quicktime urgh

[quiet bramble]

If the OBS source the filter is being applied to contains any video or images that were lossy compressed, inverting the brightness will result in "things you can't see" becoming "things you can see". In particular the blocking that happens in lossy compression which is confined to darkness where the human eye can't make out the detail, now becomes a bright blocky visible mess.

The second problem, is that the human eye's response to light is non-linear, and that inversion is basically a linear inversion.

It's potentially much better to convert it to a colorspace that has brightness as a non-linear value such as gamma correct luma.

[main canyon]

I have chroma key and color correction on right now

[quiet bramble]

Then invert the luma and convert it back to RGB

The results generally look much better.

[main canyon]

urgh i didn't know this was gonna require so much biology knowledge

i turned off my color correction

it's now jst on chroma key, how do I invert just the luma?

[quiet bramble]

When various visual effects (such as brightness or color inversion) are applied to lossy video/images the non-visible artifacts will become visible. Not much one can do about that.

To invert luma, you can convert to YUV color space, then subtract Y from 1.0, then convert it back to RGB.

[main canyon]

it's show 720p on a macbook air, idk if that's lossless or lossy

Where do I go to convert the color space?

[quiet bramble]

I've been exploring possible methods to remove the blocky distortion but haven't found something good yet.

[main canyon]

I'm very green with video editing, and no photoediting/still editing

[quiet bramble]

Need to use custom shaders to do that. It's fairly simple though.

I've got a bunch of shaders to do this sort of stuff buried on my dead PC or I could grab one of em. I've got RGBtoYIQ and YIQtoRGB on my laptop that would work also though, but that's not gamma corrected currently

I was nerding out with simulating analog TV a bit. 🙂

I've got some things to do but I might dig into that later on today if I remember. It's something I've wanted to fix for a while. Once I've got it working I can share it with you if it'd be useful. I'll probably add RGBtoYUV and vice versa as well.

[main canyon]

word

that would be super awesome yeah any time you get to it

[harsh topaz]

Not sure if this is of any use to anyone - but thought I'd post it here since I found it super neat.

It's a tool called MouseWithoutBorders owned by Microsoft. It's free to use.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35460

It allows you to treat a 2nd PC as your main PC, sharing mouse/keyboard. Dragging your mouse over to another PC for copy pasting, typing, clicking and selecting things. Really handy for multiple PC streaming setups.

[inner marsh]

Any chance you could switch that link to their website and not the link to download it

[harsh topaz]

Erhm, sure. I just googled and took the first link

[inner marsh]

Hm wait never mind, doesn’t download anything. I’m just tired and not paying enough attention, sorry

[harsh topaz]

It was the download link. You're not wrong, I changed it out to the product page at your request. I didn't consider it an issue since it's a microsoft link which is pretty official. But I can see where you're coming from, perhaps people want to read a page description first 👍

[quiet bramble]

Wasn't sure where best to put this so putting it here as it is kind of a substitute for a plugin using (abusing) a built in OBS feature as a hack. Basically, producing a greatly reduced palette quickly without mucking around with LUTs or shaders by abusing color correction. You can stick multiple color correction filters on a source back to back (as many as are needed to produce the desired result), and set the contrast on the first one to between -0.99 and -0.90, then stack multiple additional color correction filters after that and crank their contrast fully up to 2.00 until the brightness returns back to the original, you may need as many as 5 or so filters. It is a quick ugly hack just for fun, but it results in a greatly reduced color palette.

The reason it works is that the first filter lowers the contrast so much that the image has very little dynamic range, and thus ends up quantized. The other filters increase the dynamic range back to the desired level and magnify the quantization so you end up with cartoonish look.

Definitely better to use a shader for this, but sometimes ugly hacks that abuse other tools can be fun too. 🙂

Example of results (Cyberpunk screenshot)

Could be useful for anyone paranoid of installing plugins also.

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Is there any way in the current version of DSK to add a delay between DSK changes?

[weak escarp]

automatic changing on interval? that is planned

[harsh topaz]

no, but that does sound cool

I mean when you change from Y > Z it doesn't instantly transition - but waits X time before doing it, allowing previous DSK to finish its transition first.

So they don't visually overlap.

[weak escarp]

I will have a think about that

[harsh topaz]

Alright, sounds good. Would make it super neat to be able to take off your lower third before it presents the next one, instead of them overlapping on the way in/out

Without having to press 'none' first, of course.

Also @weak escarp these names don't change in the hotkey. 'DefaultName' isn't anything I have anywhere. I believe the main tab was called that originally until I renamed it?

[weak escarp]

yeah I should fix hotkeys when renaming

and it appears the translation did not load correctly for you because it should be "DSK 1" instead of DefaultName

[harsh topaz]

Translation? Am on English OBS.

[weak escarp]

yeah I found the bug, it is on my end

[harsh topaz]

Poggers 🙂

Is there a way to bind none currently?

[vale vine]

Lindenkron seems to be a pro at breaking things so they can get fixed 🤣

[harsh topaz]

It is literally the only thing I seem to be capable of doing.

[weak escarp]

Not yet

[harsh topaz]

Also I feel slightly attacked that you can describe me so well in one sentence

[vale vine]

Hahahaha

Power users are the best as they can ultimately make things better faster

[harsh topaz]

I mean, I'm too stupid to figure out how to fix any of the things myself, which is my never ending nuisance. So I become this "I've done this and everything broke" kind of person - which can be annoying to be sometimes >.<

[weak escarp]

At the moment working on a plugin to copy scenes, sources and filters
After that I will fix some downstream keyer things

[harsh topaz]

Alright. Was thinking maybe I could macro it so it'd press "None" first, then delay, then press the next DSK

[harsh topaz]

Another plugin. This man is out of control.

[weak escarp]

you can set the hide hotkey on all scenes in the DSK the same

[harsh topaz]

Ah, true

[quiet bramble]

I know the feeling too. 🙂

If I use any piece of software and there's at least one bug in it, I will accidentally trigger it within 30 minutes. Sure seems that way anyway. LOL

[vale vine]

Yes indeed you are good at breaking things too!

[quiet bramble]

And that's not even counting me using things in ways they weren't intended for! 😛

[harsh topaz]

I mean, manage to use and mess with OBS setting things up for a few hours - 3 crashes in the mean while. Something like 30+ instances of OBS glitching in some way (usually related to groups) of sources either going 90001, or disappearing in some other way - or being unable to click on a source until you go back to another scene etc.

But ye, these things are a deep rooted problem in OBS that people have tried to solve for ages. And the more complex your setup, the more you run into these things it seems. You recall when we were trying to repo a lot of these things

[quiet bramble]

I stopped using Groups a long time ago, although I think most or a lot of the issues I experienced got fixed. I had adjusted my workflow though and didn't want to re-change everything. I think the 90001 issue pertains to sources that OBS doesn't know the actual size of yet?

Been a while since I re-tested for any bugs I've reported or made note of. 26.x has been the most stable and reliable OBS ever for me though.

[harsh topaz]

There's so many things it could be. I've experienced issues with using 'center' on things. Especially when you add transformation to the group itself OBS loses its mind 😛

Just a lot of deeply rooted conflicts I think.

[quiet bramble]

yeah, groups still have issues with transforms and other stuff

[harsh topaz]

Mainly I found to work around it; don't EVER touch the groups transformation. And when you do ANY transformation edits, drag the source OUT of the group first, edit it, drag it back.

This way I've limited it to break like 90% less

[quiet bramble]

Nowadays if I encounter a bug or limitation in say... a built in filter, I usually just write my own shader etc. to replace it. That has the advantage of letting me nerd out and add like 50 other completely unnecessary useless properties to it super nerd style also. 🙂

A bunch of those issues are fixed in 27 though too

Yeah, drag out and into groups works around a number of things

[harsh topaz]

Speaking of which.

Anyway, I think we went a bit off topic

[quiet bramble]

For quite some time now if my OBS crashes it is now more likely to be my fault. 🙂

Although technically several of the "my fault" cases I'm refering to are more "I forgot to work around a bug in OBS" than actually my fault LOL

[harsh topaz]

Erh, seems to been the Websocket that crashed this time.

[quiet bramble]

mostly shader parser related bugs

ie: don't start a shader out with a line 1 preprocessor directive

[harsh topaz]

Ye seen you write a lot in there about shader plugins and such. Seems to really be your itch

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, Xaymar got me addicted

Bugs or no, it's some of the most fun programming I've done in eons.

One of these days I want to get more comfy with the OBS source itself, and possibly take a stab at fixing some of the issues I've come across for shaders. It seems like that functionality was intended mainly for the program to use itself rather than others, so it's kind of understandable if we encounter obscure bugs that they aren't particularly a high priority thing, especially if one can find a workaround.

I should document all the workarounds some time and offer it up for the wiki or something

[weak escarp]

@harsh topaz translation should be fixed with this one:

how often are you putting out updates for them?

[weak escarp]

maintaining is not as much work as the support

[inner marsh]

is that all done in the forums or in another place?

[harsh topaz]

Sounds good - I'll update 👍

[harsh topaz]

[vale vine]

100% One of the few I try to donate to when I have the means

[harsh topaz]

Btw, I've had 2x Websocket OBS crashes in the last hour since I installed the DSK. I'm not sure if it's related @weak escarp but thought I'd bring it up.

https://obsproject.com/logs/vhV2g5Sag-PQ3ZYa if it's useful.

[weak escarp]

there seems to be a reference leak of a move transition on your system

are you using move transitions for the DSK?

[harsh topaz]

I still have the version you originally sent me.

Yes.

[weak escarp]

the original version had that bug yes

update downstream keyer plugin should fix that

[harsh topaz]

I'm in the middle of updating to the link you sent above. And by "original version" I mean the Move Transition you sent me.

Alright, on it 👍

[harsh topaz]

Well, still happened

• Overwrote old DSK with https://github.com/exeldro/obs-downstream-keyer/actions/runs/758625118
• Opened OBS.
• Ran the transition out and in.
• Closed OBS.
• https://obsproject.com/logs/ypCVxB0MICElJFgn

[weak escarp]

without transitioning DSK it does not crash?

[harsh topaz]

It appears not. I tried opening/closing - no crash. I tried opening > changing scene (that uses Move Transition) > closing (no crash).

Let me see if I can force crash it again.

Yes, 100% repo.

Open OBS > Click 'None' > Click 'DSK scene' again > close OBS > Crash

[harsh topaz]

I'm doing it again

[weak escarp]

I can replicate it, now the search for the bug

[harsh topaz]

Glad I can help. Well, help you help me

[harsh topaz]

Another thing that I've been meaning to ask you about, but I always get away from it.

Move Transition,
If you have multiple things that do the same thing - is there any way to set them to do them fixed instead of relative? This becomes very apparent when you try to make things go out of the screen "at the same time" but if they're different size - or at different location on the screen - they'll go off/on at different speeds. (Can DM example if required)

Also (I'm sorry) Found another tiny itsy bitsy bug with DSK.
If you change a setting in a Move Transition, those settings don't apply to the DSK Transition version of the same transition until you go to Cogwheel > Transition > SceneTransition and click the transition again.

[weak escarp]

should be fixed in this version:
https://github.com/exeldro/obs-downstream-keyer/actions/runs/758817886

[harsh topaz]

I'll give it a go 😄

[harsh topaz]

No crashes this time on that repo. 👍

[fluid fjord]

Guys can anyone help me please?
Obs won't detect any ndi source whereas in my same computer other applications can detect ndi sources.

[quiet bramble]

make sure your firewall isn't blocking NDI

[fluid fjord]

If my firewall was blocking ndi, I wouldn't be able to see it in any application on the same pc. Am I right?

[fluid fjord]

I can see ndi sources in other applications but not in OBS

[oblique yew]

For help with Elgato products, please submit a ticket with them directly at https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. They also have a community Discord server.

[quiet bramble]

@fluid fjord You probably do not have NDI properly installed in OBS, be sure to read the instructions for the obs-ndi plugin carefully and make sure you have both the plugin, runtime, and ndi-tools packages installed.

Also, it might go without saying but whenever a plugin is installed for OBS, the program has to be restarted in order to see the plugin.

@nocturne vortex Do you have obs-websockets installed? StreamDeck needs that plugin installed in OBS. I don't recall if Streamdeck will automatically install it for you or not.

[nocturne vortex]

i uninstalled obs and re installed and it fixed it self don’t know why

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Regarding my previous questio, If you have multiple things that do the same thing - is there any way to set them to do them fixed instead of relative? This becomes very apparent when you try to make things go out of the screen "at the same time" but if they're different size - or at different location on the screen - they'll go off/on at different speeds.

Can send a short clip to show what I'm referring to if that's easier.

[eternal seal]

Anyone got plugins for creating transitions between sources? Or a transition plugin?

[weak escarp]

With transition override you can make sources that are close to the edge end early in the transition

[rigid night]

help

[harsh topaz]

Hmm, not sure I completely understand. It's not a question of ending early/later - it feels like the curve is off. Probably easier to show tbh.. can I dm a 3 sec vid?

[weak escarp]

Yeah my DMs are open

[harsh topaz]

Think a lot of people that will end up using your DSK will try to combine it with Move Transition for LTs - but I can't seem to find a way to make text sources follow the actual graphic.

I think its because the moving is relative

So bigger/larger or further away sources are moved at a difference pace/speed than smaller/closer.

Solution put all your sources either in a group, or a nested scene - then put that inside of your DSK scene, then run that DSK scene in the DSK plugin.

Is a lot of nesting, but it works. Thanks @weak escarp

[grizzled stream]

It would be nice if when activating a dsk the visibility transitions were activated to be able to execute these animations

The Twitch and HS logos have move transition filters to animate them, the other sources have visibility transitions, with DSK only the sources with the filter are running

[dark sapphire]

man, visibility transitions are going to be so good for advanced overlays

[grizzled stream]

Now i can make them run by move transition filters or by activating the visibility of the group within another scene (with hotkeys/streamdeck)

[mortal harbor]

how to insert my twitch overlay into obs?

[main canyon]

@quiet bramble did you get any chance to work on that LUT thing? no worries if not

i'm running a filter on my video and the recorded video is choppy. I don't need it to play while it's rendering the filter to a file, i figure it will be much cleaner that way. Can I do this?

[slow flicker]

@weak escarp Hello. Loving all the plugins. if i may ask something regarding move transition and the triggers. Is there a way to have move value filters trigger with audio? Sorry for the tag. I didnt find any other way to communicate this.

[weak escarp]

You can use the Audio Move filter to enable other filters

[slow flicker]

this is included in the move transition? but in the audio filters?

[weak escarp]

yes

[slow flicker]

thank you so much

im working on a project for vidcasts to auto change cameras based on who is talking. Would that be possible with audio move? @weak escarp

[weak escarp]

yes, but could get strange when multiple sources detect sound

[slow flicker]

yeah i thought so. im working for a solution for this. because i was using advanced scene switcher for that. which have priority but i also had problems.

[quiet bramble]

@main canyon I put together a simple shader for doing color and/or YUV luma inversion with optional gamma correction. It's not using a LUT, but performing math directly.

[main canyon]

can you explain how that differs?

[quiet bramble]

This shader is for OBS Shaderfilter

[main canyon]

is that a plugin for obs?

[quiet bramble]

A LUT is a fixed conversion table that is applied via the Apply LUT filter in OBS. A shader is code that runs on the GPU to perform whatever operations it is programmed to do.

Yeah, OBS Shaderfilter is a plugin for OBS available on the OBS Resources forum

!plugins

[quiet bramble]

The color invert feature is basically identical to lowering the contrast all the way using the OBS color correction contrast knob. The luma invert has no comparable built in. They can be used independently or together for a few different looks.

I also have a more ridiculous shader on my PC that allowed independently flipping the color channels or components of different color spaces just for producing fruity colors for artistic purposes but don't have that handy. 🙂

[harsh topaz]

If you get a good solution feel free to post it here! Or at least tag me

[main canyon]

Im not on windows, can I still use this?

i do have streamfx

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Messing around with the Audio Move a bit, you aware it can't see sources inside of 'scenes' that are groups ?

This comes up empty despite having 7 sources in it.

[quiet bramble]

@main canyon It'd need to be converted to StreamFX shader first. HLSL shaders undergo a conversion to GLSL on non-Windows platforms, which may work or may require adjustment to work. I'm only using Windows here so can't test on other platforms personally.

[main canyon]

Hi there! I'm streaming a prerecorded video (mp4) with embedded captions. However when I put this video in OBS, my captions aren't showing up on the platform i'm streaming to..its a custom platform.

I downloaded a plugin, however that auotgenerated captions for me, and didn't actually show hte captions already in the video. Any tips?

[untold jay]

@obtuse atlas use a video player like mpv or mpc-hc to render the subtitles and use window capture; in that case, it will be impossible for a viewer to turn off the subtitles

• change firewall settings for obs and ndi on both PCs
• open ports in the firewall on both PCs
• deactivate firewall completely on both PCs
• deactivate all LAN connections except the one to the router on both PCs
• activated media streaming in windows network settings on both PCs
• both PCs run on windows 10 (updated)
• both monitors have the same resolution ( full HD, 24 inch)

I still only get a black screen and also no audio, I don't know what to do anymore

Yes I do and I also stream with only the gaming pc and everything works fine, but the source doesn't show on the streaming pc

[analog ruin]

@reef veldt when you double click the NDI source on the streaming PC, in the first drop down menu, when you click it, what do you see?

could you screenshot?

[analog ruin]

thats the wrong machine

when you click here, do you see any other computers/names? @reef veldt

you started the NDI output on your streaming PC as well, and that is what you currently have selected (I would just turn that off)

[reef veldt]

No only that one? Why is it the wrong machine though? If I turn of the source output from the gaming pc I don't see any source names on the streaming pc

[analog ruin]

really? Maybe I'm confused. I could have sworn I saw the name on the other machine

PCREXHEP is the name of the gaming PC?

[reef veldt]

this is the gaming pc

this is the streaming pc

[inner marsh]

i forget the exact name of it but can you use the ndi viewing app, and see if you see the correct thing on the gaming pc

[analog ruin]

naming the NDI output was a good idea 😌 yeah, so should be right. Huh, I have no idea then, it should work

[reef veldt]

so should I open Ndi studio monitor on gaming pc and see if I can see the source from obs?

[reef veldt]

Could it maybe have to do smth with the lan cables? I use a splitter that is connected to the router and the pcs are connected with the router through the splitter

[analog ruin]

cus the firewalls are open enough to where the broadcast is getting thru, and you're finding the other machine, but data dont seem to be getting thru properly 🤔

splitter? 👀

yea, it could

[inner marsh]

yeah

[analog ruin]

when you say splitter, its like this?

[gaunt zealot]

Make sure that OBS has both public internet and local network access in Windows' Firewall on both PCs

[reef veldt]

It doesn't show a source on the tools, do i have to restart the pc after installing tools for it to work properly?

[reef veldt]

That is the splitter

[reef veldt]

Yeah I already did that and I also tried it with the firewall completely disabled on both PCs, same issue

[inner marsh]

try restarting after installing it

[reef veldt]

Even after install no source available on the gaming pc, but the source from the gaming pcs OBS is available in the streaming pcs obs and also in the streaming pcs Studio monitor, but shows only a black screen on both

After pc restart I mean

SRT is a streaming protocol, like RTMP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Reliable_Transport.

[junior walrus]

Hi. I am running OBS v 22.00 due to the issues with later issues in mac os and studio mode. Will RTSP server work in this version as a plugin? I have installed it but I can't find it in any menu. Only FFMPEG is available in recording menu.

[vivid sapphire]

It's probably safe to assume that the version you have now is the only version you will ever have

What studio mode issues are you referring to?

[lavish ibex]

so when i downloaded the transition matrix i added to the files and when i started up my obs it didnt show up under the tool menu any ideas on what i need to do?

[quiet bramble]

If it has an EXE installer, use that to install it. If not, make sure you are installing the files to the correct location in the correct OBS installation.

One of the most common "plugin doesn't show up" problems are people installing the files into the wrong location, or having multiple copies of OBS installed (that they may have forgotten about) and putting it in the wrong one, or even downloading the source code and trying to install it (which wont work).

[lavish ibex]

i installed it right from the obs site so which ever it is there

[quiet bramble]

Plugins are often available as an EXE file installer, a ZIP file installer, and the source code is often also available as a ZIP file - all on the OBS website, so it is possible to download the correct thing from the site or the incorrect thing. Once downloaded, it is possible to install it to the correct location, or to the incorrect location.

Other potential things that can go wrong are having 64 bit OBS but installing a 32bit plugin, or vice versa. Or not reading the installation guide/manual provided by the plugin author and following all the steps correctly. Or not having all of the pre-required software installed such as runtime libraries that are indicated as being necessary.

One also has to ensure that the version of the plugin officially supports and works on the version of OBS that they're using.

If you look at your OBS log file, if it is loading the plugin there should be information about that in the log file. If there is no information at all about the given plugin in the log file, OBS is not trying to load it and it is not installed correctly.
