Hey Guys, some of you may know the Feature of streamlabs obs where when you start streaming a pop up Window appears and asks you If you really want to Stream and If you want to Tweet about your Stream
Example:
https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/automatically-tweet-when-you-go-live

Is there anything I can Install to also have a Pop Up appear reminding me to Tweet?
I Always forget about it since I switched to OBS and I dont Just want to Autotweet my Title. I want to change things ...
Thanks alot

Hey Matt, yeah I got that confirmation Dialog but its Not asking If I want to tweet 😄
Also added the Tweet Window to my dock, but my Monitor is fairly small, so I have it as a stacked Window and after tweeting I Switch to the other one. And then next Stream its hidden...
Thanks anyways, definitely a good answer for the Tools at Hand
Just wish we could have the confirmation Dialog also ask for a Tweet lol

Okay, so, question regarding the NDI-tek plugin, since I apparently got nothing at all from the forums.
Present living room system build is:
👉 AMD FX 6300
👉 2 x 8GB RAM
👉 780 Ti (for NVENC)
👉 78LMT-USB3 motherboard

For capturing stuff from capture cards, it's been pretty much flawless, even for 1080p over hdmi. However, when it came to handling an NDI encode from my main PC, it really just... faceplanted putting it nicely. Given that another test system with a 2600K and weaker/slower GPU and RAM handled it better, I think I need a platform upgrade for the living room system. Why not use the sandy bridge? Well, simply... the case it's in can only support a maximum of a microATX board.

So I guess the question is... what makes the bigger difference to improving the performance for NDI? is it more about IPC? does it want more cores/threads? memory bandwidth?

dark sapphire
#

first it's important to check that your setup has enough bandwidth between machines

#

NDI at any good quality needs a gigabit connection PC-to-PC

#

100mbit won't cut it

flint wraith
#

I think the only things that don't have gigabit nics in the house are my consoles at this point 🤷‍♂️

dark sapphire
#

It's worth checking via the OS itself that the connection is actually running gigabit. Sometimes a bad cable can lower it to 100mbit

flint wraith
#

but, how? I used to be able to see that easily enough in XP. but like its version of event viewer, ever since 7, I've not been able to see what's relevant.

update
ookay, I think I found it by accident, but even now, it's saying that I have full gigabit on said fx machine.

dark sapphire
#

OK, that's a good start

#

when it stutters, what's maxed out? CPU? GPU? RAM?

flint wraith
#

Well, not sure since basically when I have it running, I'm sitting in front of my main gaming pc, casting to the lan for it to pick up. And then just in the secondary monitor, I then have it looking at my Twitch stream while i do. That's where I noticed that it would just stutter and then drop the stream altogether.

#

acting like it's not even connected anymore 😦

It there a plugin for OBS which can help me to stream simultaneously at multiple platforms?

oblique yewBOT
dark sapphire
#

Either that or choose Restream as your streaming service

gentle crescent
#

ohk thanks for the help mate, i will look into it

#

The plugin is nice but i'm really confused, how do i install it?

Guys please I found many people with problemas with NDI, is not about hardware or network it's something else.

I stream in dual PC:
NDI main PC
Plug-in OBS in the second one.

it says 60fps but looks like 35, in some games is better in others not. Any help please?

#

@winter scarab ndi is very expensive to run, cpu-wise, try srt instead

Hi, is there any way to distort in-game music (or music in general) with a filter?

peak vector
#

I wouldn't call NDI "expensive", but it's not hardware-acellerated, yeah

#

@winter scarab not quite, but if you want to pull a video feed, this will use a lot less CPU time, especially if you use hardware encoding

winter scarab
untold jay
#

just because a lot of people fall for newtek's marketing doesn't mean it's any good

#

or, if it was good, why do so many people buy capture cards?

peak vector
#

ReaPlugs are free to use and work well with OBS and bring most standard effects

keyboard shortcuts don't have LEDs on them

winter scarab
#

I know there is an option of using 2 obs one sending troguh NDI or so. But no O'Dea how to set it up.

dark sapphire
#

I am terrible remembering what keyboard shortcuts do. My streamdeck has a screen on each button which tells me what each button does.

#

I can also use it to see temps & resource usage

unknown.png
untold jay
#

i usually set up shortcuts and macros in batches, and then spend the next few hours trying not toforget them
really want a macro keyboard, but i don't like anything commercially available

winter scarab
#

My problem was abou NDI guys I just gave and example.

#

Trying still to fix my weird choppy stream in depend which games using NDI

untold jay
#

your issue is bad frame pacing due to high background cpu usage, but since you can't lower ndi's cpu usage, the solution is to not use ndi

winter scarab
untold jay
#

@winter scarab check cpu usage on sending PC

winter scarab
#

60%

#

Playing pubg

#

It's good the stream but looks like less than 60fps

#

That's the problem,

#

I see other streams and look quite more fluid

untold jay
#

@winter scarab how much of that is from obs-studio?

winter scarab
#

I use dual PC

#

In main PC playing and using NDI cpu 70%

untold jay
#

yes, how much of that is from obs-studio?

winter scarab
#

In pc streaming 20% of CPU usage with OBS streaming

winter scarab
#

Why should installed?

untold jay
#

are you using ndi screen capture, then?

winter scarab
#

Yes!!!

#

Is there any other way?

#

Will I have to love you forever?

untold jay
#

try screen capture hx instead, it should be already installed

winter scarab
#

XD

#

It's there!!!

#

Yes

#

OK I'll do it

#

Should I put it in admin mode?

untold jay
#

i dunno, just quit screen capture, run screen capture hx, set it up on the receiving pc

Not sure if this is the right channel for this BUT: If any developers out there want to make a mark on the streaming world integrating our open source software Streamdelay into an OBS plugin I believe it would be significant for livestreamers. A software dump button with adjustable delay protects streamers from accidentally showing content against ToS in a wide variety of situations. It was originally developed working with OBS but we have been running it with other software for almost a year now with no issues just figured someone out there might be interested. 👍 https://github.com/streamwall/streamdelay

@mortal harbor 👀

mortal harbor
#

HEY. thats literally exactly what i asked for

dark sapphire
#

eyyy it's the WOKE guys

#

OBS itself does have a stream delay capability built in, just nobody has written a dump capability

#

(though it has certainly been requested)

nimble sentinel
#

I searched far and wide for a solution a year ago, we had to make it

#

😄

dark sapphire
mortal harbor
#

i have mine set up manually in OBS w/ all my sources delayed equally and then have a button that cuts to a non-delayed source

#

bada boom bada bing

dark sapphire
nimble sentinel
#

That was a rough 4 weeks until the first version of streamwall was stable

#

My brain could best be described as pudding

mortal harbor
#

my brain hurts looking at that

nimble sentinel
#

Was pushing OBS to its limits every day had to wipe the scene and restart every morning - by the end of the day response from obs was getting very delayed

dark sapphire
#

Yeah I was 10000% surprised at how well you managed it until you had streamwall going

nimble sentinel
#

I've been using OBS daily since 2013 so it wasn't my first rodeo - but yes I was in machine mode for a while there

vapid charm
#

Jesus Christ Almighty.

#

That source list

dark sapphire
#

It's a good thing "Control audio via OBS" existed by then, eh?

nimble sentinel
#

those folders aren't even expanded

dark sapphire
#

Probably saved you some level of headache on its own

daring plover
nimble sentinel
dark sapphire
#

that combined with your visible 🔈 icons in the stream

nimble sentinel
#

Then I got control via obs working 😄

#

ish

#

that speaker icon

#

the flashbacks...

#

so many manual actions

#

it was no joke like 14-18hours per day of constant actions

#

lol

dark sapphire
#

No kidding. But you managed it!

nimble sentinel
#

streamwall cut out like 90% of my work immediately

#

it was glorious

dark sapphire
#

And here we are a year later with something as super neat as streamwall

mortal harbor
#

sooooo anyone working on getting that original streamdelay integrated as a plugin? i wish i knew how 😦

nimble sentinel
#

We've also built a pretty spiffy opensource website built on the matrix chat framework

nimble sentinel
mortal harbor
#

well it seems it would be as simple as taking the existing streamdelay in OBS and having a hotkey trigger that overrides it to show a "censored" screen or whatever you want it to that isn't on the delay

#

but also not a developer sadly

dark sapphire
#

"simple"

mortal harbor
#

i know i know i know

dark sapphire
#

you've just driven every developer mad @mortal harbor

#

😂

nimble sentinel
#

idk how streamdelay works its a black hole of magic far as I'm concerned

#

someone far smarter than me figured it out

#

😄

mortal harbor
#

simple from someone who doesn't know how to do it doesn't mean much

nimble sentinel
#

it has something to do with that 😄

mortal harbor
#

i understand the concept...like i said i was able to do it manually by just adding delays to ALL my sources besides the one that would act as the "censor". would just be nice to have a cleaner version of that.

nimble sentinel
#

What happens if the issue is still on the other version of the source?

#

I'm not sure how that works let me re-read

#

Once the issue happens its already on its way to twitches servers so I don't see how swapping sources would fix that, you have to roll back time

mortal harbor
#

if i'm using the built in stream delay function, yes

#

but

#

lets simplify it

#

i have a video source delayed by 10 seconds

nimble sentinel
#

Oh I see you put a delay on all sources in OBS so you have whatever that delay is until OBS actually sees it

mortal harbor
#

exactly

#

and then if i need to cut i switch to my source that isn't delayed

nimble sentinel
#

or I guess to a scene of nothing if the problem still persists 10 seconds later

#

We built it for kind of a particular situation where the issue could persist

mortal harbor
#

yeah, as long as you stay on the non-delayed source until the issue is resolved it works.

nimble sentinel
#

We watch from a feed that is output before it hits the delay so its however many seconds (set delay + natural delay) ahead of the audience then we can flip on the censor but still be able to watch to fix the concern or wait for it to pass - kind of an extreme use case

dark sapphire
#

Yeah you're a special case because you restream 6+ streams at a time

mortal harbor
nimble sentinel
#

6+ lol

#

we have hit the 30's

#

many times 😄

dark sapphire
#

yeah and you're crazy 😉

Need help with the ASIO plugin for obs. We have an audio box usb96 audio card, the card has two ports for microphones, but obs only will pick up the microphone that is plugged into port bumber 1 but not port number two. I installed ASIO for obs becuase i was informed that to utilize the full extent of my audiocard i would need to. That being said, even after installing asio, i still cant get the microphones to work in both ports of the audio card, just the one. Please help.

quiet bramble
tawdry pasture
#

I did....they said i should ask plugins...lol

peak vector
#

You haven't answered my question yesterday if you have proper ASIO drivers for the device or if you're using ASIO4ALL

tawdry pasture
#

eyy im sorry i thought i did give me a second

peak vector
#

this is the OBS plugin, you still have a driver for your device

tawdry pasture
peak vector
#

OK. When you add the ASIO input, you probably have to add a mono channel per mic

#

if you add a stereo input, the mic might be combined into left and right channel

tawdry pasture
#

COuld you send me a picture of how to do that? I added the audioobox as an audio device but im not sure what you mean by mono channel per mic. Furtheremore, the plugin appears to only have a few options.

peak vector
#

You can't use the "normal" audio devices

Hi guys....QQ: I recently changed added OBS to a different computer, downloaded all of the same software that is on my old computer. The NDI plugin and NDI tools worked just fine on my old computer for OBS output.....but for some reason on the new one, when you click on the NDI icon in the system tray, it isn't recognizing OBS. I've looked at a ton of YT videos to find a fix, searched forums, and then uninstalled and reinstalled everything. No change. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix that actually works?

peak vector
#

Set Mic/Aux to "disabled" in OBS Settings > Audio

#

Then go into your scene and add ASIO Input source

#

there you get a new interface to add an ASIO channel with channels, sample rate, etc.

Alrighty, ill give this a shot and send pictures of things if it doesnt work. I appreciate you taking the time to help out. Ill tag you if i cant seem to get it to work. Im new so im still learning! lol

#

=True

harsh topaz
#

I tried ="TRUE" =TRUE ="1" =1 sadge

daring plover
#

lower case might be what you want

#

Since it's json

harsh topaz
#

Tried every version I can think of
/command=TriggerHotkeyBySequence,keyModifiers.control="true",keyId="OBS_KEY_NUM8" doesn't work either.

#

Tried it backwards, forwards, with, without, with 0s and with 1s.

#

This is the OBSCommand documentation.

#

Websocket documentation.

#

😕

#

Slightly beginning to lean towards maybe it doesn't work yet? No one in NOOBS Cmdr has posted a way to do it in the last few months. Only reply I could find on it was "I don't know how to do it with modifiers"

daring plover
#

Sendjson and white the whole thing yourself instead of param parsing

#

I guess it's because keymodifiers is actually an object that contains child values

# 
{keymodifiers: {
Control:true
}
}
harsh topaz
#

Not sure what you mean?

daring plover
# 
OBSCommand.exe /sendjson="ReorderSceneItems={'scene': 'MyScene', 'items': [{'name': 'Image'}, {'name': 'Gamecapture'}]}"

formulate the raw request based of the schema

harsh topaz
#

I'm really poor with json, don't even know what that would look like.

harsh topaz
#

Apparently the keyModifiers.control is a subprop - not an actual prop itself. Or something. Not entirely sure, but setting it this way did the magic.

still zodiac
#

^^ eh... how that can work

harsh topaz
#

Ye, the difference a . versus a = can do.

still zodiac
#

well it works, but it's not json

harsh topaz

Syntax syntax syntax.

still zodiac
#

ah, actually... it reads with the screenshot last line... object=subobject=value

#

yea, last line in the documentation on the resource page

#

indeed, weird syntax

#

that obs websocket maybe best ever, enables so cool things

#

well, my personal recent integration is cellphone as tally light, depending on which scene is selected on obs :D :D :D

#

i find it atleast quite cool

and throw all that work out the window

#

#

is it available somewhere ?

harsh topaz
fading crypt
still zodiac
#

gotcha

#

thanks, i'll check it out definetly

#

i might do pull request, in case you wish to have the torch as well :)

#

your solution doens't even require nodejs backend, which is supernice...

fading crypt
still zodiac
#

yep

#

BUT, you need https transport or local file

#

or it doesn't init

#

with my limited tests it worked good enough :)

#

pity i didn't get the webrtc sending work reliable enough

#

idea would been to send obs virtualcam in browser window and then webrtc it to listening devices... like the tally

#

so torch could show tally and phone display would work as loopback with minimum delay

#

i'm not good enough with the webrtc :/

Hey guys

#

Is there a recommendation for a plugin that will make my fifine USB Mic audio sound a little bit better? Right now it sounds with a bit of an echo

#

I found the Reaplugs but from my research they don't have Mac compatibility any alternatives?

still zodiac
#

check melda free vst bundle :)

#

it has kind of all basic studio effects, like compressors and eq's what, i believe is what you basically need

#

if i remember right they have as well mac versions

winter kindle
#

Okay thanks

#

Got a link @still zodiac ?

still zodiac
#

yep

#

had to double check they had the mac version, and yep

winter kindle
#

You rock! Thanks

still zodiac
#

if you find use for the thing, please consider supporting them :)

winter kindle
#

I was all pumped up to record some screencast only to be met with the audio hurdle

#

Hopefully this helps and yes I will support. I believe in paying for software

still zodiac
#

cool

#

i'm quite sure it helps :)

#

personally i used the bundle something like half a year... then decided to support them since i find me using the plugins just quite much... but yeah, its free no need to support if you think it's not worth :)

#

but to say, it's way better than reaplugs :)

#

anyway

crystal cipher
#

i need help, i set up my overlays and things but cant get my stream to show up

still zodiac
#

is this direct plugin or tool issue ?

crystal cipher
#

idk, im very new at using this software side of things, it was simple, when i was streaming from xbox

still zodiac
#

well, i think you should re-read the rules and then try help and support section

still zodiac
#

though, i don't know mumble

#

maybe discord usable too ?

#

actually

#

i think there's no need for mumble or discord for intercom...if one way is enough, then just stream it with obsninja and select the soundsource... basically that solves me not needing to write own webrtc things at all :)

#

great!

#

which is just super cool

#

idk if this is the right channel buy my friend streams and they are trying to apply an animated Overlay onto her stream in OBS and code stuff like her chat, Webcam, and donos. How do you do that?

winter kindle
#

@still zodiac I have installed Melda but can't find it in the VST Plugin dropdown in filters. Any extra step I need to do?

still zodiac
#

have to say i'm not familiar of macs and how their vsts register

#

try restarting obs though

#

that might fix

#

usually vsts needs to do fast discovery upon start of an app

winter kindle
#

Yeah I did that

#

I might need to shut the whole system down I think. Let me try that

still zodiac
#

usually that's not needed

#

but you can try

#

:)

#

and

#

speaking of vst plugins... you might wish to add stereotool for the filters guide list ^^

#

if you wish them all, theres some analyzers which are super nice

#

What's this MDrummer?

#

I don't think I need it right?

you dont' need that either

#

winter kindle
#

Hmm

#

So which do I need as the rest here are like Studio2008 and some stuff

#

Stuff

still zodiac
#

click the free bundle from the installer

#

it should select the free ones then

#

i agree the installer could be better indeed for usability, but it's free so np np :)

winter kindle
#

Wow

#

I'm in!

#

That's a lot of stuff

still zodiac
#

is a good bundle, indeed

I want my USB Mic to sound a little fuller

#

Ah yeah you are right

still zodiac
#

though it's plugin issue... hmm...

winter kindle
#

Yeah 🙂

#

So my need is simplest as they come. I just want a little bit of bass and smoothness to the audio coming off the fifine Mic

still zodiac
#

well MEqualizer can do those things indeed

#

also speaking more close to mic helps, but then you need a pop-filter

winter kindle
#

I got one

#

🙂

still zodiac
#

check.

winter kindle
#

Thanks a lot

#

Let me check that out

#

Quick question

#

Does filter order matters for audio?

still zodiac
#

it does

winter kindle
#

Oh my

still zodiac
#

same as picture

#

thumb of rule for EQ's basically is first get rid of non-wanted frequences then enhance the nice ones a little... and less is more usually when it goes for eq :)

winter kindle

#

quite nice tutorials and clean presented

that's though some 30minutes of tutorials but afterwards you should be able to do very good what you wish :)

Any idea how I could make a footer to broadcast an auction, with the field "total price" being summed automatically from the typing in the field "price of parcels"?

#

Hi! I'm in dire need of help. I'm trying to get the plugin Move transition 2.4.0 for OBS on my Windows laptop because I was asked to stage manage a virtual show and I'd literally never used or even heard of OBS a week ago. I've taught myself a lot via tutorials, forums, and YouTubers. I have all of the scenes set up and a hotkey for studio mode, so I'm in okay shape in general (I think?). But I downloaded and installed the plugin today, followed the download instructions on the Resources page, watched and followed 2 tutorials on YouTube, and restarted my laptop. I just can't get the plugin to show up in OBS. Can anyone help? I'm pretty lost and idk what I'm doing wrong. Please and thank you SO much to anyone who is able to help!!

#

Real time huh

#

That will be anofher hassle

#

If you're reading from an Excel file, you'll only have access to data if you're file-reading from when it's saved

#

Otherwise you'll need some other magic to read data from the software itself, which likely does exist

#

Google sheets is another beast entirely since its cloud based, and they do have apis for it

#

But I have never used it

#

There are people who live their entire lives on excel sheets, there are solutions for a lot of things, but it's finding and re-implementing them is what's key

Personally, anything involving leaderboards this would serve a great purpose for.

the problem with the Sheets API is that you run into their verification process rather quickly

but if that is no problem it seems well documented

Yeah, that's why I just downloaded the CSV every 10 minutes

Because I didn't want to deal with auth

#

Yes, but you get a warning from Google that your tool is unverified and after a certain non-disclosed usage it might get turned off and you need to run it through googles verification process

#

if you only develop and use it on your own account this is probably no problem, only if you want to share it with many users

Make sure you don't have multiple OBS installations present, or that you're installing any plugins etc. to the correct OBS which is the one you are using. Probably the most common cause for people installing plugins and nothing showing up at all.

first feedback: did some testing and i already got it into a state where it no longer starts recording until the filter is re-added(don't have replication steps yet). also the recording itself is somehow from the program out, not the filter that it's on.

weak escarp

did you try disable and enable to get the recording working again?

yes, that did not fix it, i was watching the log viewer. but could not find a way to replicate it yet since after restarting obs it seems to work reliable now. (at least for the recording not starting part)

fading crypt
# weak escarp the recording should contain the source the filter is added on including all its...

my test recording from within the filter did in fact contain the pgm out and not the source the filter was on (monitor capture). testing with rc3 if that helps.
update: got a new and fresh rc3 portable install, the one before had a pre-pre-version obf obs-websocket 5.0 installed). managed to get a green picture for a few tries and after some more tries it seems to now record the actual source.
update 2: seems i could narrow down the green image with selecting nvenc but nothing in the logs, it's the only encoding session going on and otherwise nvenc recording is working fine.

I tested with x264, will add nvenc testing on my todo list

Imagine a source replay buffer. Would be reallllly nice. Last time this topic came up, I believe it was said - but perhaps you can confirm? - that you can't do multiple replay buffers because of how OBS works. So, you can't set 2 filters for example, and save replays from both sources.

@weak escarp You machine you! 🙂 That's awesome!

there 100% need to be a big warning when you try to start more then available nvenc sessions (intentionally triggering that caused obs to freeze because the encoder retry log viewer spam, but that's not the plugins fault :D)

Hi there! I wanted to possibly write a custom filter plugin for obs.

Basically, I want a plugin that can compare a frame of capture for similarity to a specific reference image and substitute a different image instead (to hide a "no signal" image during game captures on resolution switching). There's one on the plugins page that does almost what I want but requires a custom fork of obs to support atomic counters that are updated by the gpu). So I was thinking of writing something that could use sse intrinsics instead to avoid needing a specific modification to obs.

I was wondering:

  1. is there an easy guide for writing new plugins? (preferrably on Windows. preferrably without needing to build full obs studio source, but instead write a dll/shared library that includes a set of headers and is dynamically linked to obs)
  2. is it possible to obtain cpu-side access to the frame buffer in a filter plugin? obviously a gpu thing would have the potential to work faster but trying to avoid the need the obs fork to use atomic counters, and I think SSE or other CPU-side SIMD instructions could be used instead if the cpu supports it. Since I'm on Windows 10 x64, I am okay with my plugin only working there for now, since this is mostly personal use-case.
icy falcon
#

No entiendo

oblique yewBOT
night cedar
tribal sleet

thanks, this helps with getting started, however I am still wondering about my second question. is cpu-side access to the pixel data/framebuffer possible? (not strictly gpu shader programs?) and are there also any example project that exist that use this, for reference?

What Exeldro said @lavish pike

Move Transition > Create a Scene > Add two image sources (One with mouth closed) (one with mouth opened).
Right click your microphone audio output > add filter > audio move > action: source visibility.
Select the Scene > Source of the top image (mouth open) and set it to show when audio a threshold is met.

You might have to fiddle with the settings a bit to get it how you want.

@weak escarp Have I misunderstood 'Start Delay' / 'End Delay'? I assumed if you set 25% start 0% end, it'll start 25% later, but be 25% faster on the transition.

50% start, 50% end means it'll start 50% later, and end 50% later - but keep the same animation length - right?

When I set 50/50 on those the transition just happens basically instant. Did I misunderstand something?

Few things to improve UX could be Transition rename auto update. The ability to double click on any transition table in the list to directly update it instead of having to re-enter it again to set it again. The ability to search on names anywhere in the name - and not just starting with the name. So if a scene is called "Scene B" you should be able to type B and have it show up, not just "Scene".

When no special agreement is signed, everyone holds the copyright to the code they submitted, so roughly what git blame would show.
Now due to the open source license this doesn't matter in most scenarios, but if for example you wanted to change the license to one that's not compatible with the current one, you'd need permission from every single copyright holder.

dark sapphire

# wary escarp When no special agreement is signed, everyone holds the copyright to the code th...

The Linux kernel had this "problem" where they wanted to change from GPL-2 to GPL-3, but since the clause allowing you to switch to a newer version of the GPL got removed, they couldn't just change it but would have to get everyone permission. So they just ditched the idea.
OBS does include this clause, so assuming all subprojects are also compatible they could switch to GPL-3 at any point

dark sapphire
#

Additionally, technically our shipped versions are GPL-3 anyway

wary escarp

Oh really? Guess I should've read the license agreement when installing xD

Yeah, due to Qt apparently

@weak escarp is it possible to add option for some reaction delay into Audio Move filter? Because of cameras I have to delay my audio in OBS for output to be in sync with video but plugin reacts to actual realtime audio so in recordings and streams it reacts before sound.

@weak escarp had a weird issue first time out with source record. Literally only produced a full duration recordning of a green source similar to what shows in obs when my BM cap card isnt configured correctly

📎 2021-05-17_17-26-10.txt
oblique yewBOT
vale vine
#

The source I have set to record when stream is active is a scene that only contains the BM cap card

#

Ok, I think I know the issue. And it may make sense. Recording resolution different than source resolution and BM devices play kinda strange

dark sapphire
#

resolution of an output also has to be a multiple of 4 I believe

vale vine
#

The output of the source itself is 1920x1080

dark sapphire
#

Well there goes that idea

vale vine
#

But BM devices don't always play nice. The fact that I applied the source record filter to the scene may be the issue. (At least I think I applied to the scene instead of the source?)

#

Gonna have to double check tomorrow

you think it will be feasible to get this working with zero copy? blobsweats Sounds like a giant pain, but I'm quite ignorant on this topic. Not calling for a "fix now plz", just curious about what challenges that would bring, and the feasibility of accomplishing it.

So its zero copy as the issue? I will test it with plain old nvenc haha

@vale vine Exeldro hasnt confirmed that, it was just my assumption, and I could be totally wrong. I had the same issue, worked fine with x264, but nvenc (with zero copy) had lots of run seemingly random behavior 😅

#

I'll test my specific source with x264 and non Jim nvenc to check

#

Could be an issue with my source.

It has lots of spesifics for different routers. So many different providers use a bunch of random names for what you're looking to do

usually theres something like obs.send("method", parameters);

const obsWebSocket = require('obs-websocket-js');
const obs = new obsWebSocket();

async function connectObs() {
try {
console.log("Connecting to local obs websocket!");
await obs.connect({

console.log(OBS Connected.)
return true;

@weak escarp I don't know if this is Audio Move filter issue or OBS (I'm on RC5) but when copying filter from one audio device and pasting this into other, it doesn't do anything. It must be set up from scratch for new audio device.

Normal built in copy/paste

#

Settings and everything are like they were but it just doesn't react.

First I thought it was because of I changed my default audio while OBS was running but event after closing OBS and opening again and then doing copy/pasta result was same.

@weak escarp When using Replay Source, can you explain what the difference between ‘Video Capture device with Replay Buffer’ and the normal ‘video capture device’ is? Does it auto enable the replay buffer? Or is it a different replay buffering system?

weak escarp

when using ‘Video Capture device with Replay Buffer’ there is no need for a replay filter on the ‘video capture device’ and all internal frames are captured

Hi all. I’ve got kind of a weird question here. Bare with me as it may not seem OBS related at first. I use OBS for my twitch stream. I’m currently looking for a good merch solution. I don’t like the quality of the on-demand printing services that are associated with Twitch but I love that viewers get notified in stream when an item is purchased.

I would like to partner with someone local for my merch
but I was wondering if there is a way anyone knows of to create my own custom trigger for an OBS overlay animation to occur when someone buys directly from my website’s merch store?

weary sun
#

If it's a website exclusive to the local store you'll probably have to make a custom program to get that data, then trigger an animation in obs

#

So it'll depend if there's something already built to handle data for that website or the system they use

I can do that.. designing graphics I can do, but animating it, changing text on the fly like a news org does I'm trying to make it more appealing lol

@drifting vortex you'd probably need a second person manually filling in the data; as for animation, move transition comes with inbuilt ease-in animations, if that helps, and i think it might also be capable of smooth opacity transitions, too

Hi all, I apologize if this is the wrong place for this, but I've looked everywhere and I'm super new to troubleshooting tech: I'm trying to get a bot to work in OBS studio in my chat (I've configured commands in Nightbot so far) but even with the bot set as moderator, it doesn't work during stream. Am I doing something wrong? It has worked with other streaming systems, but they drop frames like crazy and OBS Studio is the only thing I've found that doesn't drop frames. Thank you for any help/advice or for pointing me in the right direction!

peak vector
#

Not sure how you do it, but OBS usually does not "run" any chatbots

nova atlas
#

Ahhh. That would explain a lot.

dark sapphire
#

nightbot is fully controlled via the nightbot website

#

and then the chat in OBS is just the chat you'd normally see if you visited your own channel

#

so as long nightbot works in your chat, it should work in the chat in OBS

#

as far as I know, nightbot doesn't need moderator just to chat

#

@nova atlas as long as you've clicked this at the top right of your nightbot dashboard, you should be good to go

There were something wrong about compiling obs-outputs. I don't know why x86 and x64 build don't have this problem, but

#

Without the project wide WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN preprocessor def, the whole project will fail to compile

#

These errors are mostly caused by the clash between winsock.h and WinSock2.h. This happens when winsock.h is included before WinSock2.h.

These are the errors given when unmodified.

Is there a plugin that allows you to set a button to refresh a 'browser source' that does not involve "shutdown source when not visible" and "refresh when scene becomes active".?

#

Transition Table is amazing, but the UX leaves a lot to be desired.

vale vine
#

Still way better than transition matrix imo

harsh topaz
#

Oh ye definitely

#

It's just things like not being able to click on a transition and edit it - and stuff like that.

#

UX things.

#

If you're dealing with 30+ entries like me - it can get messy.

#

Or the regex in the name of search only searches from start of name - so "Scene B" cant be found by typing B.

#

Just basic improvements like that.

vale vine
#

Yea, if that can get cleaned up for your workflow, then it would be 100% perfect for just about anyone else that would use it

harsh topaz
#

Ye - the Move Transition & Transition Table things I've mentioned are overall improvements for everyone.

#

And the NOOBS Cmdr is just cus nutty isn't updating any more - so the effort I have to go through to update audio and things is dreadful.

#

Because NOOBS Cmdr doesn't have an updated interface for the fixes FSC made to OBS Command

#

I saw Exeldro had contributed to it - so I assume he knows the code for NOOBS Cmdr somewhat at least.

What's nuttys deal? Do I need to threaten him with violence?

@harsh topaz so you need a hotkey to refresh the website?

I'm not completely sure if it was even possible to have a plugin do that, since obs-browser is a plugin itself

I noticed recently that my OBS logs had a lot of memory leaks, and I have been trying to track them down and eliminate them individually. The last one I have is from Surn's OBS Shaderfilter Version 1.21. Can anyone verify that they also have leaks from this plugin?

V1.21 adds 35 memory leaks if you add it to a source without a shader or effect file loaded.
Loading effect or shader files then adds further memory leaks. e.g. checking the log files on a fresh install of OBS and using the bundled rounded_rect.shader on a source shows 54 memory leaks.

Tested in OBS v26.1 and v27.0 rc4

If I would take more time for it I would not change the fps of a browser source as a workaround to refresh it and maybe add the hotkey to the source instead of making it a frontend hotkey

# vale vine Man, you got this guy building scripts for you!!! I smell an extra cup of coffee...

I mean the man works on what he wants to work on. I'm simply inquiring if anyone knows of a way to do it hehe. But it is indeed very appreciated. There's a lot of things that improves the ease of use when working a broadcast. This would be one of them. In big scene collections while live for some reason the 'Studio mode' can get really heavy and take a bit to open, change and close again. Easier if there's a hotkey I can put on a stream deck SMILE
