I was looking at the source record plugin earlier. So basically I can set it to just record my capture card while I stream w/ my facecam and other stuff, correct?

[nimble rose]

ive set up my keyboard and mouse overlay, but it doenst register the things i do when i click on the screen im streaming with, i have obs on 2nd monitor and when im focused on obs it works, but when i go to play on my main monitor it stops working, is there a setting i need to activate or something...?

[vale vine]

Yep. Set it as a filter on whichever source you want.

[mortal harbor]

extremely useful, no more running multiple instances to record and stream if you're just trying to capture gameplay

[vale vine]

EXACTLY!

Exeldro is really a wizard in disguise, im convinced

[mortal harbor]

i saw it titled "the most requested OBS feature" and assumed clickbait but it really is not.

[untold jay]

technically second most requested, but definitely very high demand

[untold jay]

forum mods, i hope you like my guides, because https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-fix-mp4-mov-files-corrupting-when-obs-studio-crashes.1293/

[gusty barn]

i'll implement that at some point, it's been requested a lot

[mortal harbor]

is anyone here a advanced / highly experienced user of the replay source plugin ? 😛

(exept exeldro) ^^

[inner marsh]

If you need help with it probably just ask about it and someone will help if they can

[static perch]

Is there a way to use advanced scene switcher with display capture and NOT dox anything and keep it safe? I'd rather just set up advanced scene switcher than run the risk of doxxing anything

[untold jay]

@static perch probably not, no

[peak vector]

you can set your display capture to "hidden" and only enable it manually when needed

which kinda defeats the purpose of using automatic scene switching...

[quiet bramble]

Having a spare secondary monitor and capturing that is less likely to capture sensitive personal etc. info also if you avoid putting anything on that display.

[static perch]

Damn.

Well I guess I can't be lazy lol

[quiet bramble]

Best to stick to game capture or window capture if you have sensitive information on the computer that might pop up or be present on the screen.

[untold jay]

i'd be careful with window capture too, it likes to grab a random "similar" window from the same executable

[quiet bramble]

yep, that too, or from another executable

[mortal harbor]

thx for the response!

EDIT: can you think of any workaround currently while it isn't a feature?

[mortal harbor]

hi guys i want to instal a websocket and i do the instal progress and i do not get it help

[mortal harbor]

i still have the problem with my OBS

sad sad times

[slender horizon]

Hi, all, does anyone know if there's a plugin for always-on chat, or even better, using a source as a standalone window (so I could have an always-on chat that looks like the one in my stream)?

[slender horizon]

I've used SLOBS but migrated to OBS for Linux support and more control. I'm looking for something for OBS. Thanks for the recommendation, though. 🙂

[vagrant jewel]

I never used it... But I'm just recommending due to the amount of streamers using it

[dim spire]

are you just looking for something to show the chat as it shows up on stream?

[slender horizon]

That would be ideal for me.

[mortal harbor]

would anyone happen to know why the input overlay plugin doesnt detect arrow keys

[dim spire]

you just use a browser source for the chat?

[slender horizon]

Yes
And I have only 1 monitor, just so you know.

[dim spire]

one way you can do it is to make an always on top browser tab, all browser sources are just links you can open

[slender horizon]

The thing is that my chat's background is transparent. A browser window wouldn't be rendered with a transparent window AFAIK (by the OS).

[dim spire]

that might be a little harder to get to work

there are probably ways to do it still though (Ty)

[dim spire]

so as far as i've gotten looking stuff up, you might be a little short on options, I think you might be able to use the shadowplay overlay

[slender horizon]

Oh, I haven't heard of that. Thanks, I'll look it up.
Also, thanks for searching. 🙂

[dim spire]

there are some extreme roundabout ways if you are willing to do a bit of tinkering, also shadowplay is only for nvidia cards, so nvidia is required

[slender horizon]

Oh, I'm going to get an RTX 3090 soon so I don't think it'd be a limitation. 😛
Do you know where I can get information about it? From a bit of googling I found only things related to it, I suppose - ShadowPlay, ShadowWorks and more - but not Shadow Overlay.

[dim spire]

so if you press ALT+Z on your keyboard it should pull up a menu

settings cog on the right side and if you to hud overlay there is a comments option

[slender horizon]

I'm currently using a GTX 780. It's not supported so I can't test it yet.

[dim spire]

i just installed this and it's working for me, and bttv emotes work with it https://github.com/baffler/Transparent-Twitch-Chat-Overlay/releases

[slender horizon]

Thanks, it looks like what I'm looking for!
Unfortunately I think it's Windows-only. Ideally I'm looking for something that also supports Linux (as I want to migrate to it as my daily OS).
I'll test it out, though, and update with results. 🙂

[dim spire]

Personally i love linux but i think the limited availability for programs on it is just a deal breaker for me, my opinion obviously, good luck on the migration and finding a solution

[slender horizon]

Thanks 🙂
And thanks for the help so far!

[dim spire]

yup

[slender gate]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/bongobs-cat-plugin.992/ how do i add this?

[silver harbor]

Hey there, I'm looking to take a camera source from square/uncropped to a circle, and was hoping to animate it using the Move transition plugin, but I'm open to any solution path.

Interested in the following:

1. Is this even possible?
2. If possible, generally what approach would you use?

[dark sapphire]

you'd likely have to use a mask filter

but I don't think you can animate between them

[quiet bramble]

@silver harbor The easiest way to shape a source, is to use the Image Mask filter on it. The mask image can use the color for masking information, ie: greyscale with white opaque and black transparent, or you can use the alpha channel for setting transparency.

You can animate the mask by using an animated GIF, but it just loops.

Another way to do an animation would be to have a video file containing a mask (black being transparent, white opaque) and use the Dynamic Mask filter from StreamFX with the base Alpha set to 0, and setting the alpha from the input source which is the video you're animating from.

Instead of a video in the Dynamic Mask you could use an animated browser source using CSS animation also

[silver harbor]

damn... I know CSS really well and hadn't even thought of that

[quiet bramble]

Another way is to create an animation using a pixel shader and load that with one of the shader plugins

Generally best to go with the easiest to implement for a given solution though.

Also, with any of these, the move-transition filters can be used to control any of the filter parameters of Image Mask, Dynamic Mask, shader via the Move Value filter

[silver harbor]

Really appreciate all this info. Options for me to explore was exactly what I was hoping for.

I'll dig into that dynamic mask option with CSS only because I know it the best out of the options

Is the idea to:

• Setup the dynamic mask
• Use the Move Transition to do the actually X/Y positioning
• Time the CSS Dynamic Mask to the Move transition time so it all happens together
• (Assumption): trigger the CSS animation on transition?

[quiet bramble]

Dynamic Mask (in this use case) is used to control the alpha channel of the source you are applying the dynamic mask filter to, where the alpha channel is controlled by another source in OBS which can be dynamic such as video, browser source, media source, vlc source etc.

So you create the HTML or video that does the animation, then use that as the Input Source in the Dynamic Mask configuration.

[silver harbor]

ah gotcha, so I can just have the CSS animating onload of scene, then after transition it just loads up the html again and the animation does its thing?

[quiet bramble]

You could have CSS load on scene load, do animation and halt with final frame.

[silver harbor]

love it

[quiet bramble]

Then perhaps another one that reverses it with a different trigger

[silver harbor]

really clean, I appreciate it a ton! I've got a pretty bonkers overlay to figure out for various combinations of 5 people on screen (1 up, 2 up, 3 up, etc), and when someone get's dumped from the focus slots, they end up in a little circle tucked away.

I had some basic drop in/drop out stuff setup, but it's not nearly as sexy as what I was hoping for ha

this seems like it will do the trick really well

and bonus points for being a solution I can understand hahaha

[quiet bramble]

If you've never played with Dynamic Mask before I'd recommend doing something simpler with it like making a text source with "TEST" in large white font with no background, then using that as input to dynamic mask. Lets say your webcam is in a scene and you apply Dynamic Mask to it and give it this text widget as input source and configure it appropriately. You'll end up with the word TEST filled with your webcam, like the letters are a stencil.

I'll show you an example...

[silver harbor]

appreciate it 🙌

[quiet bramble]

@silver harbor Here's the Dynamic Mask stencil demo

I didn't animate the mask, but it could be animating. For example I could change the text in realtime and it would change the shape of the cutout.

Here's the Dynamic Mask filter configuration for the alpha:

[silver harbor]

got it, thanks a ton, this is some next level help @quiet bramble

Guys If U Have The Old Obs Does It Need To Get The New Won?

[sacred gulch]

Just wanted to mention my findings. Updated to OBS v27 to use NVIDIA Noise Removal. Installed the Turing SDK, but the option was greyed out for me. I'm running a GTX 1080, and it has no problems with the stand-alone "RTX Voice" software that NVIDIA specifically states is for GTX cards. Hopefully something can be done to use the SDK from the RTX Voice software in OBS with GTX cards.

[clear falcon]

Hi OBS Is Davinci Resolve 17 Is Good For Editing Using OBS Studio!

Nvm I'll Do Davinci Resolve 17

[tardy kiln]

I am trying to stream from my Go Pro Max 8 to my Windows PC. I set up Mona Server on my PC (RTMP Server) and the camera connects to the Desktop but when I open VLC and try to play the stream it won't play the RTMP Stream. What desktop application do you use to play your RTMP? Thanks.

[quiet bramble]

@silver harbor No prob

@clear falcon It is an OBS scene with 2 sources, a media source playing a video, and underneath that a text source that says "DYNAMIC MASK" in a large font. They are both marked visible but the text is covered up by the video so it isn't actually visible. The video source has the Dynamic Mask filter from the StreamFX plugin for OBS on it, with the Input Source pointed at the text source, and the alpha channel configured as shown in the settings screenshot above.

[clear falcon]

Ohh K

[quiet bramble]

The StreamFX Dynamic Mask filter is one of those "WTF does this do?" type things that is capable of doing some really cool effects but which isn't obvious from the name or its configuration options what exactly it does or how to use it. But... it's a swiss army chainsaw of coolness. 🙂

It's the Magic Sauce™

[runic niche]

Is there a plugin for windows when where ever you click it has that little circle around it because ive seen other people do it but idk if it was with obs

[peak vector]

That's most likely recorded with Camtasia

It's geared towards proper screen recording with tools like mouse highlight

for OBS you can use something like that: https://catnip5.itch.io/mouse-highlight

[quiet bramble]

Hmm, one of the shader plugins could potentially be updated to pass mouse coordinates into a shader and do that. It'd actually be a useful feature for converting some Shadertoy shaders which use mouse input also.

[candid bone]

Do we hav ea list of which plugins/tools are currently working as intended with the latest OBS release?

[vale vine]

That's up to the plugin maintainer to update.

So you would have to check all various plugins

[dark sapphire]

most plugins should work

we try to maintain API compatibility as much as possible

but it really depends on what the plugin does internally

[candid bone]

Alright, cheers! Figured that may be the case. But thought I would ask if there was a maintained list.
Appreciate the response 🙂

[vale vine]

Wizard be smort! Trust his answer way more than me haha

Plugin manager is on the list of future wants though, right?

[dark sapphire]

the rule of thumb is "try it yourself, if something goes wrong - contact the developer so they know ASAP"

[wary escarp]

Future™️

[dark sapphire]

it's the number one most requested feature at the moment

[wary escarp]

Several RFCs actually, none accepted yet iirc

[vale vine]

How about true iso recording? Haha. I know exeldros plugin filled a giant void/want

I wonder if it helps at all in getting video tracks...

[untold jay]

multiple video tracks would indeed be most helpful to some, but i suspect it won't be implemented due to UI/UX concerns;
you can't expect the "average person" to know how to deal with such a file

multiple files are relatively easy to explain, and if you insist on merging them, go ahead and merge them, you should already know how to

(on that note, i'd love it if obs had ShareX-style "Actions", automatically performing post-processing on created videos upon stopping recording - such as upload, or reencode, or run arbitrary executable and pass the recorded video as a parameter)

[silver harbor]

Hey just wanted to show you the quick prototype test I finished up this morning combining Dynamic Mask and Move Transitions to get to that effect I was aiming for you helped me with last night (good lord thank you again haha, so appreciative of the helping hand).

Lots of work left, but this shows:

• Scenes of cameras, in this case files screenshot from Zoom until I can get some demo videos
• Those cams nested into wrapper scenes with an HTML/CSS/JS Dynamic Mask
• Move transitions looking for the scene name to be contained for matching
  --- First few seconds shows it at 700ms move speed
  --- Back half of video shows it cranked up to 2 full seconds to view the animation slowed down

Couldn't have even remotely gotten here without your help, I wasn't even aware of the StreamFX plugin.

I will say this is pretty savage on my streaming rig, but I'm just putzing around on my mac right now so I can sneak in some OBS time while working 😈

In particular, it's the Move Transition punishing my system the most.

Edit: quick note, things are z-indexed wrong on purpose, those rings these circles land on are just placement to see if I can get things to land in the right spots, once I get out of prototyping phase, everything will move together and be actual sources/scenes

I do think I need to mess with the settings for the dynamic mask scene I'm using, it doesn't seem to be resetting on load so the square to circle animation isn't firing, but that's pretty simple compared to all this stuff haha

[cerulean kestrel]

Anyone else's OBS Transition Matrix not working as intended?

[analog ruin]

@cerulean kestrel transition matrix is unfortauntely not been updated for a long time, and its not working on the current versions. I would recommend trying transition table in stead 🙂

[cerulean kestrel]

Just saw that. Thank you!

[analog ruin]

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/transition-table.1174/

[vale vine]

Oh, as far as transition stuff goes. @weak escarp is it known/expected behavior that when you set a transition, it won't show in the list until you close and reopen the tool?

[silver harbor]

damn, was hoping to use matrix, for whatever reason matrices make so much more sense to me than tables haha

but good to know it's struggling right now

[vale vine]

Matrix old and deprecated

[silver harbor]

It'll save me some pain down the road haha, glad I joined this discord, this community has been invaluable in less than 24 hours ha

[vale vine]

I too liked matrix, but table is pretty good

[silver harbor]

yeah, I've at least watched a few tutorials in preparation so I won't be totally out of water

[vale vine]

Note what I just asked exeldro above in case it confuses you as it did me

[weak escarp]

it should show in the list right away, let me test it, just a sec

looks to be working for me, what might I be doing different?

[vale vine]

Not sure. Maybe it was me being on the rc. Havent used it on a full stable yet. Could that be the variable?

I'll be updating to 27 later today and can re-test rc first and then move to 27

[silver harbor]

Does anyone know if there is a way to have StreamFX reload the Dynamic Mask source on transition?

[quiet bramble]

@silver harbor Sweet, you did a great job! Looks quite nice, congrats!

[quiet bramble]

In theory you could use Move Value to change the Input Source of Dynamic Mask on transition, although I've never tried something like that. Another option is to change the source itself, which could be a scene with the source(s) in it, and toggling visibility of individual elements within that scene to affect the mask.

[silver harbor]

Nice, I'll play around with move value. I don't know that I can mess with visibility, since the circle masked camera scenes need to remain visible all the time 🤔 that would be way simpler though

[quiet bramble]

Could maybe make the circle much larger than the source, then shrink it until it starts cropping to a circle

[untold sandal]

Is OBS going to be compatible with NDI 5?

[quiet bramble]

Is it a custom shader or is it one included with the plugin and if so which shader? Normally if you load a shader and the output is black it means one of 2 things. 1) The shader has not been properly configured via the OBS configurable properties it has. or 2) The shader is crashing and an error message probably being written to the log file.

[harsh topaz]

@harsh topaz Convex warp...

[harsh topaz]

Dr Disrespect could use that for his scuffed background

It can do funky things with sine wave warping also, pretty freaky deaky

[harsh topaz]

Cute, thinking even dr d could get a 3080ti

[quiet bramble]

🙂

I've been toying with the idea of making a shader to simulate the camera view of the robotic Pengweng from Subnautica Below Zero. Thought it looked cool and had some ideas.

[harsh topaz]

hmm not sure what exactly this'd be good for.

I know this would have benefitted from that shader.

Instead of just cropping it to fit, it would actually bend

[gaunt zealot]

I get that certain special twitch in the back of my eye every time I see that lack of warp...

[quiet bramble]

@harsh topaz ah yes... also corner pin

[harsh topaz]

Was my first thought - how I remember seeing his bg just being a crop.

Or I guess probably a mask.

[quiet bramble]

I've got a working corner pin shader but need to rework it so the properties are sensible.

So it would get convex-warp, then corner pin to have that style of framing

Would be super nice to have corner pin built right into OBS, with the ability to set the corners right in the UI via drag-n-drop, but I don't think plugins can do things like that without core OBS changes.

property sliders are a bit clunky but work 🙂

[harsh topaz]

What other cool shaders have you seen around?

[quiet bramble]

Tonnes of amazing stuff on shadertoy. Some of it boggles the mind. I've got a bookmark folder full of a zillion shadertoy shaders to port to OBS, but limited to the single-pass ones.

Warning: The Shadertoy website is a rabbithole ... hours vanish in what seems like a few seconds 😛

Shaderoo and GLsandbox are cool too.

Hey everyone, I've been having an issue with the NDI plugin for OBS: I installed the NDI HX Camera app on my phone (iOS) and added an NDI source to my OBS scene. The phone does show up in the source name list, but when I select it, I get no video, not even a black screen. On the HX app, a red border is visible meaning it's knows it's being shown in OBS. I tried fiddling with bandwidth and sync settings to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this? I am connected via WiFi, not Ethernet.

Here's a couple of screenshots:

I keep getting this in my OBS logs as well:

warning: Could not update timestamps for discarded samples.

[pulsar quail]

could someone help? i've been following every instruction to download plugins and its still not showing up in my OBS.LIVE what am i doing wrong???

[quiet bramble]

Here are some plugin installation tips: Double check if you have more than one installation of OBS present on your system. Multiple installations can confuse plugin installers which may install the plugins into a different installation than the one you are using. Also make sure you are installing plugins of the same bitness (64 or 32) of the OBS you are using. OBS looks for plugins only during startup, so if you install them while OBS is running, it must be exited and restarted in order to see them.

I should also note that OBS.Live is not officially supported here, however the tips above should apply equally well to it as well. You may also need to ensure that the version of OBS you are using is compatible with the plugin and vice versa. Plugin installation documentation usually indicates what minimum version of OBS is required and other factors such as mandatory pre-requisites you must manually install beforehand for the plugin to work (such as MSVC++ runtime libraries for example).

Hope that helps.

@opal magnet Also it shouldn't be overly taxing depending on encoder settings

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Pondering, is there a way for addons to determine/set the z-index of sources, even temporarily, or are they always bound to their physical position in the list? And if so is that something Move Transition has? Not that I could see at least.

[weak escarp]

the move source filter has option to change the order of sources

[harsh topaz]

Ah, I was looking in the wrong place. I take it it's "Difference / Position" ?

[harsh topaz]

👍 beautiful.

Btw, Flaeri tracked down that frame issue I was having, and it seems to be tied to virtual_cam_filter.

At least removing that plugin and purging all filters from it, I haven't been able to reproduce the glitch again, neither has he.

I think he might throw up a repo later today - if not I'll look into getting it done 🙂

[weak escarp]

virtual_camera_filter or virtual_cam_filter ?

[harsh topaz]

Erhm, hold up.

What's the difference?

[weak escarp]

just wanted to be sure it was the correct one

don't know how the virtual cam filter and the glitch are related, but at least I have a direction to search

[harsh topaz]

Trying to figure out what is better for use as a webcam, a high end android phone or iPhone.

I have no allegiance to one or the other, I'm sure the difference in which would be superior likely comes down to the software (the mobile app) used in this situation

[short fable]

Question: Need confirmation about one plugin that's used for Multistream so know that no malware or rig hijacking coming when install it. When i copied the link addr. from link that was put into reddit's conv. it show's some details so maybe someone more tech savy could figure it out. If some support manager or dev accepts dm then i can paste the link. It's a plugin that's said to work with 'Restream' tool & send feed also to Theta.tv platform.

This is the right channel, it's just an obscure question so I don't know if anyone has an answer for you.

I'm still not even clear if the NDI plugin properly supports NDI HX?

But I also don't follow it all that closely.

But ndi is honestly a bitch to troubleshoot

No, not really

[opal sinew]

It only keeps giving the warning I posted every second or so, no other errors or warnings

I can post it if you wanna take a look

[inner marsh]

Basically what I would predicate the issue is is that the plugin is receiving everything correctly. Just nothing is being sent to it from ndi itself

I tried troubleshooting a similar issue with someone before but there are so many different points of failure, and not all OBS related

[opal sinew]

I'm only doing NDI because going normal camera source with my phone is eating 8-10% of my CPU since it doesn't have hardware acceleration

[inner marsh]

I would suggest trying to send something from you computer through ndi to OBS and see if that works

If it does that makes it an issue somewhere between the phone and the computer

[opal sinew]

Okie, I'll try that

It works from PC

Guess it's just something with my WiFi and the connection to my phone

[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

[hard jay]

If that's the plugin, then yes it's safe.

[short fable]

Yeah indeed it is & link click on that reddit thread opens the zip file dl autom. Weird to see youtube name in front of that link when view it on addr. bar, but all good now after you confirmed it. Thanks for that 🤝 Guess i add the rtmp shown in my restream page to that plugin's interface when installed.

Do i add both data & obs plugins folder to Obs's Plugins folder the ones that got from zip package ? UPDATE: Solved after i checked Obs Folders more closely at it's install location. Now to restart Obs & hopefully that right Plugin window pops up. Good weekend 🖖 🫖 🍵

[quiet bramble]

It seems one of the most common failure modes for NDI is an intermediary firewall blocking the NDI traffic.

[opal sinew]

Would that still apply even when running OBS in administrator mode?

[white dune]

yes, firewalls can exist outside of the computer

[opal sinew]

Wouldn't that make it so that the device is not seen in OBS though?

[quiet bramble]

@opal sinew Firewall blocks at the network level unaware of what a user is.

Just a matter of finding out what protocol/ports NDI uses and ensuring that the firewall is configured to allow the traffic to pass through on all computers.

[opal sinew]

I'm assuming it's the same for everyone and I can look it up online

[quiet bramble]

should be

[white dune]

isn't NDI the protocol itself?

[opal sinew]

Just opened the ports, still nothing

The NDI HX app has a green border instead of red now

[mortal harbor]

how can i not see any of my plugins i installed

i wanna see my vst plugins

[quiet bramble]

@white dune protocol/ports as in (TCP|UDP)/<port number>, the transport protocol rather than the application layer protocol.

mtz - it probably got unblocked... make sure the other end isn't blocking also, and both inbound and outbound on both sides.

(Most people's firewalls allow outbound by default but I don't like to make any assumptions)

VST plugins installed in the standard systemwide VST directory which are of the same bitness as OBS is, should be seen by OBS the next time it is started up.

If you try to use a 32bit VST with OBS 64bit it wont work for example.

Also, OBS only supports VSTs up to version 2, VST3 and VSTi are not supported

[opal sinew]

How do I make it unblock on iOS other than allow access to local network?

OMG

I got it to work XD

I'm sooooo stupid

I just had to change "prefer UDP" to "prefer TCP" in the NDI HX app settings

Welp, that was a waste of 24h of troubleshooting lol

Thank you guys so much for the help! <3

[short fable]

@hard jay I placed files from both data & obs-plugins into the folders that seemed right ones to put them in. After obs restart the plugin interface didn't pop open & isn't available on top left in obs main screen. How to install that plugin ?

[vale vine]

@weak escarp you were 100% right. Transition table working 100% as expected. May have been something weird with rc5. Working correct on v27

[glad swift]

i can no longer hear my vb virtual audio cable through obs, help? much appreciated.

[quiet bramble]

Best thing to do is to follow the pathway of each input in voicemeeter, through the routing buttons to the outputs to ensure each input is going to the proper outputs, and that OBS is configured to capture the correct voicemeeter virtual output, and that neither the inputs or outputs that are relevant are muted. Be sure to check any FX/EQ etc. in Voicemeeter and filters in OBS as well. Also make sure that the audio track in OBS is configured so you can hear it, and routed to the proper output channel if recording.

Without seeing screenshots of your entire Voicemeeter configuration and OBS configuration it'd be hard to suggest the specific problem you're having though.

And never rule out having speakers muted, dead batteries or power turned off on speakers etc. either. 🙂

That just means you do not have it properly installed in OBS, so it isn't showing up in the menus. OBS Shaderfilter works fine when it is properly installed.

People who do tutorials only cover the same thing, How do I load up my plugin after installing it.

[red flicker]

What plugin? Generally if you’re finding every tutorial to be consistent, you’re either doing something wrong or having an issue unique to your setup lol

Plugins are automatically “loaded up” when obs starts

[daring plover]

I don't know if things have changed I the past few years, but does Adobe have native marker importing now or is it still plugin based?

Or maybe they have it in the video itself? I would have to guess

[red flicker]

yeah it's within the video file itself
it's had that for... a really long time
and I know it's possible to write those markers from a program outside of Premiere

[dark sapphire]

hmm, the OBS InfoWriter plugin only does it to a separate text file

[red flicker]

right

[dark sapphire]

Oh, nevermind - it supports text file, EDL & a CSV

still external to the video though

[daring plover]

I'm not at my desk to to any research unfortunately

[near root]

Hello, Any Pluggin to put groups in other groups?

[quiet bramble]

@near root That's not possible however you can basically do the same thing with Scenes. Create a scene that has some sources in it that you want to nest inside of another scene, then use the Add Source and choose "Scene" and point it to the other scene.

Depending on the exact usage case, the StreamFX Source Mirror filter may also be useful.

Unzip the zip file, drag the 2 directories it contains into the top level obs-studio directory where your OBS studio is installed.

Step 2: Restart OBS if it was running.

i did that omg why aint it working

[quiet bramble]

Make sure you don't have multiple copies of OBS installed in different places and are installing the plugin into installation #3 but the icon you click to start OBS is starting OBS in installation #1. Also, make absolutely sure you put the directories in the right place. Also make sure you downloaded the plugin and not the plugin's source code (people do that).

[quiet bramble]

@valid horizon Look in your OBS log file. If you do not see anything mentioned about OBS Shaderfilter at all then the plugin is either not installed correctly into the OBS installation you are running, or the wrong files were installed or the right files were installed to the wrong location.

I'm assuming all along that you're using Windows. If you're using Mac or Linux there could be some other issue.

thats.....really...strange...im sorry for asking lol

i hve asked this same question at least 3 times so i really didnt want to type it all again

I have a presonus audiobox USB96 audio card. the devise has two ports for Mics, but i can only seem to get one going at the time. Even tho the card itself picks up both mics, obs does not for some reason support both of the mics at the same time. I heard that i need to install a plugin for obs to do this, but it doesnt appear to either be the right plugin...or even tho i installed the plugin obs still doesnt seem to be able to pick up both mics at the same time

[vapid charm]

#audio-support

[quiet bramble]

@floral laurel Chatbots are not something used in OBS, however they can potentially communicate to Twitch via the plugin API to remotely control OBS. There are a lot of different chatbots out there that do a variety of things. One of the more common and popular ones is StreamLabs chatbot which you might want to explore. If you search Google for "Twitch chatbots" you'll find dozens of other ones to compare to try and find something that might best fit your needs.

Have you ever had NDI working between the two systems? Usually if NDI is set up on 2 machines and they don't see each other it is because one or the other computer has a firewall blocking the NDI traffic.

[tight aurora]

Before yes

[quiet bramble]

Or, if there is a network device such as a router with packet filtering it could be blocking it.

Wireshark is great for diagnosing what is happening at the network level.

A quick and dirty way to troubleshoot such things, if it is low risk to temporarily disable firewalls on the devices it can be done just to test if the firewall may be blocking anything, and if the given problem is resolved then one can investigate how to add rules to the firewall(s) to allow the traffic properly and re-enable.

Alternatively to have logging enabled for the given firewall(s) and monitor the logs for application traffic getting blocked, then update the rules.

All of this may require some technical acumen, however such is the nature of computer security stuff like firewalls.

[unique cradle]

no errors. OBS Studio just quit with no further informations.

!manualcrash

[oblique yew]

To find the OBS Studio crash logs, follow these steps:

2. Type in: %APPDATA%\obs-studio\crashes and press Enter
3. Upload the desired crash log, usually the latest, directly to this Discord channel by dragging and dropping the file into the chat window

[tight aurora]

I did disable the firewall and even added OBS Studio as an exception on Windows. For the outgoing Linux PC firewall was disabled by default.

Still didn't work of course

[quiet bramble]

If you haven't already, also make sure you are using the newest version of the NDI Tools, NDI runtime and OBS-ndi plugin. If you are then hard to say what the problem might be.

[tight aurora]

Is there other methods of streaming from one OBS PC to another? I tried nginx and no luck either.

[untold jay]

@tight aurora srt, https://obs.ninja ?

!srt

[oblique yew]

SRT is a streaming protocol, like RTMP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Reliable_Transport. In OBS Studio 25.0 and later, you can output via SRT to appropriate servers by going to Stream settings and selecting "Custom" for your service, then entering your srt:// path into the Server box. For a more complete guide on SRT and how to use it with OBS, see this article: https://obsproject.com/wiki/Streaming-With-SRT-Protocol

[tight aurora]

I tried that as well and still not working

[quiet bramble]

I use the current release of NDI on OBS 26.1.1 and can say that it works pretty flawless for me, however I have not tested it with OBS 27.

You could try downgrading to OBS 26.1.1 to see if that makes any difference for you or not.

@mortal harborama @rose plank Are you the onwner-commiter for the plugin obs-VST ?

[quiet bramble]

Been using StreamFX non-stop since it came out. The 0.7.x releases were quite experimental and had some serious issues but all of the major issues were resolved in 0.8.x. Like any software it may have bugs but nothing devastating, and when they get reported they usually get fixed within a release or 2 as long as enough details are there to reproduce the issues. I use StreamFX quite heavily personally, much more than the average person using it probably does and I while there are open bug reports in github, I can't think of any issues I personally encounter with it ATM.

@somber snow If you're still having an issue you might get better results in the #audio-support channel. Also when attaching images/screenshots I would recommend using a widespread format such as PNG or JPG that will automatically embed into Discord for direct viewing as most people are unlikely to manually download unknown formats to view them locally so you may get less people looking at your problem potentially. Hope this helps.

[modest schooner]

Hi i have a question, I want to show my Video input bit-rate on my live stream, but i can't find it how. So maybe some of you can help me ?

[analog ruin]

dont think such a feature currently exists. You could add your twitch interface as a browser source, and crop it or something 😅

[harsh topaz]

v27, no virtual camera, no matte stinger (move transition)

I do wonder what's causing it. I need to find time to tear things down and try to locate it

[vale vine]

The weird stutter and flicker at the beginning?

[weak escarp]

again it looks like only part of the sources is rendering on a single frame at the start of the transition

[harsh topaz]

That's when I press the transition to change scene yes. It's like anything that isn't on the 2nd scene or something disappears for a single frame. Same issues we were able (flaeri) to repo with just Virtual Camera. It appears as if a multitude of things can cause this to happen.

[harsh topaz]

Yea, as I wrote above - it seems multiple things can cause this, not just your plugin. Which makes me unsure if it's the plugins breaking something in OBS - or if it's unveiling an issue.

[mossy lintel]

Like I found this interesting feature in OBS:
#ideas-suggestions message

[mossy lintel]

I also noticed that with transitions there are these frame flicks in beginning or in the end. So it reveals next or previous scene for a fraction of a second

[harsh topaz]

This is what I'm experiencing on start of transition as well. Mind telling me the name of all the plugins you use? 🙂

[mossy lintel]

Uhm.. Probably 99% from all of Exeldro plugins and couple of more 😄

[harsh topaz]

If you wouldn't mind, could you post an example of what you're experiencing with that - and a list of your plugins? I'd like to cross reference.

[mossy lintel]

Is there any possibility to get list of installed plugins (and which are not OBS native ones)?

[harsh topaz]

I don't think so outside of going through your plugin folder and just looking at the names of the .dll

[mossy lintel]

Actually I think I have some installers left so I can go through this folder to get an idea

[harsh topaz]

It's usually pretty obvious if you skim through the .dll folder you'll recognise the names of the plugins.

[mossy lintel]

I'm not sure which are native ones and which not.

I think these are all in

[harsh topaz]

DSK, Move Transition, OBS Websocket, Source Copy, Transition Table

Those overlap with my current Plugins.

4/5 are from @weak escarp . So it could very well be something there.

I don't think websocket would interfere with frame rendering. Seems odd.

[mossy lintel]

Lol, regarding to my shifting group issue linked above I managed to do it in bigger noticeable way. When I move any source in group, in this example unicorn on right side, then whole group is moving to right. If I stop moving unicorn then group move stops as well 😄

[harsh topaz]

Don't use groups. Groups are fucked and broken in OBS.

And until someone redoes the whole thing - you should just stay clear of it.

Use nested scenes - while it is a hassle you'll generally just have less/no issues.

[vale vine]

Groups = pain

[quiet bramble]

It's definitely safer to use nested scenes and StreamFX Source Mirror source as alternative solutions to using Groups.

Probably not applicable to most users but custom pixel shaders can also be another solution for some use cases.

As an example, I've created various visual effects using built in filters and plugins previously that used groups, source mirror, nested scenes to various levels of complexity. I've rewritten some of the entire effects as a single pixel shader avoiding needing the complexity of the previous solution I had.

[sterile tartan]

Is there no functionality or plugin that lets you press a hotkey that adds a bookmark to the video that you are recording in OBS? because i know video files can have bookmarks/chapters . is this functionality not possible?

[vivid sapphire]

usually those bookmark features are features of the container, not the actual video stream itself

there are tools that can record timestamps to a file, though

[sterile tartan]

i saw, infowriter

i mean, can't OBS just write chapters/bookmarks to a video file once it's finalizing the video file when you're done recording?

[vivid sapphire]

theoretically it could, if you're recording to a container type that supports that, though we don't generally recommend recording directly to a container type that requires finalization, such as MP4

because if something crashes in the middle of the file recording, the video file will be unrecoverable

[sterile tartan]

it should also be possible on mkv

[vivid sapphire]

i'm not familiar enough with mkv to know what it's capable of

regardless, OBS does not ship with that functionality

I don't know of a plugin off the top of my head that offers that functionality either

[sterile tartan]

if i wrote a plugin for OBS to do this, would I be able to call ffmpeg onto an already finished video file?

[vivid sapphire]

probably

i dont know what's possible from a plugin perspective in terms of interacting with the existing muxing tools

[sterile tartan]

@vivid sapphire would you recommend doing a script or plugin for this?

[vivid sapphire]

i dont know enough about how OBS works to be able to answer that question, but I suspect it will come down to whichever you're more comfortable with

assuming it's possible to do from a plugin/script

[untold jay]

@sterile tartan is infowriter not enough for you?

[sterile tartan]

i just think it would be nice if it was streamlined since it's possible

[untold jay]

i agree, but so far no one cared enough to implement this

(or had the time to?)

[vivid sapphire]

In what way would adding bookmarks directly to the file streamline things for you?

[untold jay]

some video players (mpc-hc, mpv, maybe some others) let you quickly jump to next/previous/specific chapter, so you can take multiple highlights during a single recording and then avoid having to consult a text file as to where are those highlights, all the notes would already be in the player

infowriter is a reasonable workaround, but still takes more manual effort to work with

[tardy kiln]

Although I probably know the answer already. I have a 6 year old HP Laptop with a dual core i7. Trying to stream to twitch with my Go Pro Max and can not get the RTMP server (VLC) to work. OBS will not see a feed. Also the Go Pro Viewer app on the Desktop won't fully function when trying to edit or view video. I suspect I just need more computer. Wondering how much time I should take trying to get this up and going. Thanks.

[haughty night]

hello

i am using a python script and it says no properties avalible

how do i fix this?

[dark sapphire]

set up python in the Python Settings tab

you need Python 3.6

[haughty night]

i have 3.6

it is set up

thats the right location right

[haughty night]

is that the right location?

[dark sapphire]

Not sure, is python36.dll in there?

[haughty night]

let me check

it is

idk whats wrong

i followed a yt tutorial and everything

[dark sapphire]

ah I see what's wrong

you're using OBS 27 64bit and python 3.6 32bit

that won't work

[haughty night]

i just saw that

installed the other one

[haughty night]

how do i get the 32 one off of obs i uninstalled and it is still there

[dark sapphire]

click "Browse" and choose the other one

[haughty night]

shit cant find out where i installed

its still doing it bruh

[dark sapphire]

try restarting OBS after you change the python path

[haughty night]

just closing it?

[dark sapphire]

yep

[haughty night]

doesnt work

whats that

[dark sapphire]

that means python loaded correctly

but your script is missing a dependency

[haughty night]

how do i

[dark sapphire]

which you will have to install using pip

the guide should cover that

[haughty night]

what should i do

is it python or the script im trying to use

[dark sapphire]

here's a way to describe it: you have the cake (script) & a fork (python), but not a knife (dependency) to cut a piece.
you need to install the required dependency package to get everything working

it would highlight for me important parts of a recording i made

like highlights in a recording

[vivid sapphire]

What would highlight it? A video player? A video editor? Which editor?

[sterile tartan]

the video player, so i can easily skip to parts of the recording that i consider important

I used OBS-Ninja to live switch a trivia show for a Twitch stream. I had the host and 2 contestants in the Ninja room and brought them into my scenes ok - while I was not in the show, I joined the room and used my virtual camera to feed the OBS out scene into the room (we some video questions) . The issue I had was being able to feed them the show audio. Is there a way to send the audio from dropped in media sources into the Ninja chat room?

Hi Obs Can I Have The Visual C++ Link When I Open It, It Doesn't Let Me!

[oblique yew]

Visual Studio 2019 runtimes are required by the plugins that come with OBS Studio.

Download and install both vc2019redist_x86.exe and vc2019redist_x64.exe from https://obsproject.com/visual-studio-2019-runtimes

[clear falcon]

Last Wednesday, I added a new plugin on the forum but it has not yet approved. Is there anything wrong?

[dark sapphire]

it just means none of the volunteers have had the time to review it

Thanks, I understand that.

[little crane]

Hey, Were you able to find a fix for this?

[regal tendon]

Hello ! in tools I can't find the websocket parameters in OBS Studio even though I have installed the websocket plugin, can someone help me ? thanks

[peak vector]

It's in the "Tools" menu if the plugin is installed correctly

[regal tendon]

how do I know if I have installed it correctly? thanks

[peak vector]

Well if nothings in the Tools menu, it's probably not installed correctly

[regal tendon]

can you give me the place where I should put the file?

C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit, is it here ?

C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins, or here

[analog ruin]

I would very much recommend using the installer if at all possible. Should handle that stuff

@regal tendon did you check to make sure the OBS shortcut you use, points to the same place as the installer showed? Sometimes there occurs a split between the registry and the actual install location when there has been some mixed back and forth with different versions etc

[regal tendon]

Yes, i just check !

[winged grail]

@analog ruin did you help creating OBS??

@regal tendon and when you run the installer, does it show you any path to install to?

[winged grail]

ah i didnt know abt that....sry

[analog ruin]

its okay, thats why im letting you know 😉

[regal tendon]

For the first installation I had like you and I accepted

[analog ruin]

@regal tendon ok, you need to uninstall websocket first, before you run the installer it seem. I assume you didnt see any path? If you click back a few times, does it show?

from start:

1. should show the license
2. should show the patch

[regal tendon]

Yeah i'll uninstall

and i show you

i'l

[analog ruin]

perfect 😊 thanks

[regal tendon]

i'll*

@analog ruin 🙂

[analog ruin]

@regal tendon thats should be correct. Leave it at that (default), next next finish

make sure OBS is closed

[analog ruin]

👏 nice work

[regal tendon]

Maybe it's because of that, OBS was open

[analog ruin]

maybe, but just doing a restart should solve that

[regal tendon]

Thank you so much @analog ruin 😄

[unique cradle]

Yes

[little crane]

Can you please add me?

or explain how you managed to fix it here

[wary wasp]

Yeah it's what happens when a transition duration is not fixed aka known (fade, stinger)

[unique cradle]

Install Tuna v1.5.3

It worked! thanks!

[harsh topaz]

@quiet bramble took me about 4 minutes to get StreamFX to crash my OBS

Not sure if I'd qualify it as crash - it legit just shut my OBS off while in the Shader Filter

There we go, now it crashed properly like a good little software 😄

21:16:01.697: Module '../../obs-plugins/64bit/move-transition.dll' not loaded

[harsh topaz]

Not sure, I put on a 3D transform filter. Then added a shader, tried to delete shader and bam

And it's repo'able.

Scene > Add color source > Filter > 3D transform > Filter > Shader > Delete shader

This crash @worn breach

Kinda strange if no one has discovered that before since it took me all of like 4 minutes to get to that and crash my OBS.

[vapid charm]

@uneven tiger Assuming you've got it installed in the correct place could you go to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\ and tell me if you have move-transition.dll and move-transition.pdb in there?

[uneven tiger]

what does it mean not loaded i installed it perfectly and even watched YouTube to confirm it

[vapid charm]

Same as 32 bit folder

[uneven tiger]

the files were there

ok i updated obs to latest version now it is there and btw i never received the update i hay to manually install it now

[harsh topaz]

Also this was on a clean scene collection but not on a clean OBS (so there's other plugins).

[vapid charm]

Yeah... You're gonna have a fun time as I'm fairly certain you've got OBS.Live installed.

Yeah. You'd have to use 26.1.1 if you want to use it.

[quiet bramble]

From your crash dump it looks like a bug in OBS to me.

[harsh topaz]

I mean, a bug only repo by StreamFX filters?

Is it really an OBS bug then?

[quiet bramble]

(Always remember too that correlation does not imply causality.)

[harsh topaz]

Plugins can do things that OBS doesn't like, thus crashing OBS surely.

Even if its not the plugin itself crashing?

Can you repo it in your OBS btw SB?

[quiet bramble]

If StreamFX does something with the OBS API that is valid and OBS crashes, and no other plugin uses the API that way, then on the surface to a user it appears "StreamFX crash my OBS hlp plz! But problem doesn't happen with anything else, must be SFX bug!"

[harsh topaz]

I mean, deleting a filter is hardly an unusual task.

[quiet bramble]

That is correlation, discovering that the combination of 2 things causes a bug to occur.

What causes the bug? Discovering the underlying cause is what is important, not pointing fingers to have something to blame.

[harsh topaz]

Scene > Add color source > Filter > 3D transform > Filter > Shader > Delete shader

Does that crash you?

[quiet bramble]

Looking at the crash dump, it is crashing in OBS, there is nothing about StreamFX in the crash at all, OBS and QT.

[harsh topaz]

I've had QT crashes with Exeldro plugins as well.

Does the above crash you? Or is it local

[vale vine]

I can test that exact string in about an hour

[harsh topaz]

[quiet bramble]

A few years ago there were a number of crashes that occurred when using StreamFX of which even Xaymar thought StreamFX had some latent bugs that he had not had time to track down yet, then eventually did and discovered that there were bugs in OBS causing most of the problems, as well as finding a few issues also in SFX.

I'm using OBS 26.1.1 with SFX 10.0 (not the latest of either). I'll try to repro it here.

[quiet bramble]

Ok with a new scene collection I repeated the steps you provided here as-is and got the expected results, no crash here using versions indicated above.

Could be a regression in OBS or Qt perhaps.

or some odd transient or race condition

[vale vine]

I'm on 27 and will test it. What version of streamfx did you grab @harsh topaz

[harsh topaz]

Latest one

[vale vine]

The alpha?

[quiet bramble]

When you put the Shader filter on the source, do you load any shader into it or just blank?

[harsh topaz]

No, just leave it blank

Then delete it > crash/obs shut off

[quiet bramble]

I just repeated it 5 times on the color source, and then again on the new scene it is inside, no instability so far.

[harsh topaz]

https://streamable.com/3975s7

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vale vine]

So is this latest stable or the alpha? Just so I can test apples to apples

[quiet bramble]

Thanks for beta testing OBS 27.0.0! 🙂

You are on the alpha

https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-StreamFX/releases/tag/0.11.0a1

This is where the OBSproject page links to.

Went to bottom, grabbed the file.

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/streamfx-for-obs®-studio.578/ > links there

If that's Alpha, that's on Xaymar lol

[quiet bramble]

that's a new developmental release, the current stable release is 10.1 for OBS 27.0

[vale vine]

Yea, on the download page it says test release

[harsh topaz]

Let me see if I can locate a non alpha then.

[vale vine]

StreamFX alphas aren't for the faint of heart 🤣

[harsh topaz]

No idea why your main download page would link to the alpha.

[harsh topaz]

That's a good way to get a lot of people to download the unstable release.

Imagine if OBS main page linked to v27 RCs

Bad practice

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, no idea why it defaults to that release.

[vale vine]

Main page doesn't, but the "all versions" page just goes in reverse chronological order including RCs in the mix

!downgrade

[oblique yew]

Need an older version of OBS? Go to https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases for OBS Studio versions back to 0.2.4

[harsh topaz]

ngl, can't even find the earlier version of streamfx lmao

Nvm, got it. Small little tab with "+Releases"

Not a fan of github for pleb userfriendliness :p

Let's see if it crashes this

Still crash 😐

I guess next step would be to remove all other plugins.

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, github is really not end user friendly by a longshot, but not meant to be either. Much better IMHO for all software to have a traditional website as their main point of distribution which funnels people to the right thing with minimal chances to do something wrong.

[harsh topaz]

Indeed.

How to install StreamFX to a non-standard folder location?

It just defaults to the obs-studio one atm

[quiet bramble]

I doubt removing plugins will have any change for you TBH. If you try switching to OBS 26.1.1 and StreamFX 10.0 it would be interesting to see the results though.

[harsh topaz]

I can't select streamFX installation folder, like rly Xaymar

[quiet bramble]

There is no official way to install to portable installs currently, that will come in a future planned feature update though.

[harsh topaz]

I mean why isn't there a path in the installer

Like, I thought that was default

[quiet bramble]

The reason for this, is that there are far far too many non-technically inclined users out there who follow bad YouTube tutorials that instructed people to download the StreamFX ZIP file and unzip it and manually copy the files into their OBS installation, who copy the files incorrectly or into the wrong OBS (having multiple copies installed at the same time and not really knowing what they're doing), who then end up unable to even get StreamFX to work. They in turn look for support and are angry about it quite often, as well as never reading the official installation guide and other documentation. This became a huge support burden on the StreamFX discord, entirely caused by bad YouTube advice and users doing things in the worst possible way.

[harsh topaz]

no other plugins also crashed it on v27 10.1 or what ever was the non alpha.

[quiet bramble]

To alleviate the unnecessary tech support overload due to bad YouTube advice, Xaymar eliminated the ZIP file download so people can no longer download the wrong thing, forcing people to get the EXE installer which installs things to the right place automatically, alleviating user error and subsequent tech support pileup.

[harsh topaz]

I mean SB that's hardly an excuse, regular plugins work the same way and most plugins have custom installer.

It's not just a StreamFX thing.

That's just a general ignorance thing - you shouldn't limit users options because of a few idiots. :/

[quiet bramble]

Problem is that the EXE installer has no provision for installing to portable installations yet, but it is planned for the future.

[harsh topaz]

And also, the .exe could easily have a path selection in it.

That defaults to OBS default directory.

[quiet bramble]

I understand, but I also understand where Xaymar is coming from and his own frustration with people either not following the instructions or following bad instructions and him being left with an endless line of people who are angry and looking for support.

[harsh topaz]

The answer is to have a bot with a command for the most commonly asked questions

As OBS does.

If you followed a youtube guide, but it isn't working - please click _here_ and download the installer. Run the installer by changing nothing and things should work

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quiet bramble]

Another problem is people having multiple OBS installations and being unaware of it, either because they installed it more than once to a different place and then install plugins into the wrong install and it doesn't show up or other issues.

The real problem, is that OBS does not have a built in easy to use integrated plugin manager.

[harsh topaz]

This I can get behind though.

Imagine being able to open an interface with listed plugins.

And "Add/Remove"

[quiet bramble]

🙂

So until it does, we are left with 1998 style software installation and There Will Be Problems.

🙂

[harsh topaz]

@dark sapphire That should be your next project instead of Undo/Redo list window

[quiet bramble]

Imagine searching Google to find patches for your game(s) then spending 20 minutes on the game publisher's website to find the patch files and downloading them manually and installing them yourself.

[harsh topaz]

Aight. Time to try v26

[quiet bramble]

🙂

[harsh topaz]

If I crash it on v26 do I get a cookie?

[quiet bramble]

My gut instinct is that someone out there will work on a plugin manager for OBS either as an RFC trying to develop it within the project or as a 3rd party addon of some sort, probably within the next year or two. I have no knowledge of such a thing happening currently but my spidey senses are tingling and they are never wrong.

🙂

If it crashes on 26.1.1 that will be interesting to see, to try to narrow down why it crashes for you versus myself or someone else on the same release.

[harsh topaz]

Hold up, think I got wrong version for 26.

[quiet bramble]

If it doesn't corrupt your scene collection and destroy 1000+ scenes though... is it really a bug? I mean REALLY a bug?

🙂

[harsh topaz]

streamfx-windows-2019-0.10.1.0 doesn't work on v26

right

[quiet bramble]

you need 10.0 as mentioned above 🙂

[harsh topaz]

ah right.

So many installers. Not a fan.

Nop, v26 + 10.0 works fine.

[quiet bramble]

I'm not 100% certain but I believe OBS 27.x fixes some bugs that Xaymar had to make workarounds for in StreamFX in earlier releases but once 27.0 was officially released he could increase the minimum version required and then remove the workarounds from SFX.... or something like that.

[harsh topaz]

So basically I guess I'm just sitting on a knife's edge praying that v27.0.1 comes out in the next 4 days.

This'll be.. nerve wrecking.

Guess next up is to try and locate where the 1 transition jitter frame bug is coming from.

So many things to fix so little time

[quiet bramble]

So what did we learn from all of this? LOL There are around 130,000 people on the Discord, and probably 10 to 100 times as many OBS unbeknownst beta testers users out there altogether...

Thanks for testing all of the n.0 releases you beautiful people!

😛

hugs his .max(N) release

[harsh topaz]

I was so happy when Flaeri identified the way to repo the transition jitter frame.

Then I kept having the issue without the plugin that they could repo it with.

Now I'm back to square 0.

[quiet bramble]

I usually test the rc releases myself and all stable ones also, but I didn't have the spare cycles this time around so stuck with 26.1.1 and waiting for 27.0.<a large number> now 🙂

[harsh topaz]

Honestly, v27 haven't had an issue outside of the Studio Mode bug.

That's been addressed, and will be added in 27.0.1

Other than that I haven't met anything where I could definitely go That's a v27 issue

I've had issues with plugins and so on - but the default OBS itself nothing outside of that.

[quiet bramble]

Lot of sRGB/alpha related things being fixed still it seems

[harsh topaz]

Ye nothing I've encountered though thank god.

[quiet bramble]

and undo/redo fixes

[harsh topaz]

OBS has ingrained in me that there is no undo.

So I've rarely used it so far lol.

I've become hyper aware of my presses in OBS.

They've conditioned me D:

[quiet bramble]

I love the fact that undo/redo is finally a feature, but I'm not sure it's something I'd need much myself personally. I don't remember the last time I might have done a destructive operation and wanted to undo it.

[harsh topaz]

Doesn't take a lot of wrong deletes that costs you hours of your life before that becomes default behaviour.

[quiet bramble]

Which is kind of odd since I use Undo/Redo in many other programs a lot.

Maybe I configure OBS with a lot more conviction. 🙂

I think I used OBS for like 2 years before I ever even saw someone asking why there is no undo/redo, and having never thought of that myself.

[harsh topaz]

I errr, have run into a lot of situations where it'd saved me a ton of time.

As I said, learning, conditioning, less of those situations over time.

After like 6 yrs or so - the mistakes are less frequent.

[quiet bramble]

I can think of one use case that will be handy... having filter dialog open and configuring a filter, then switching to a different scene or source and reconfiguring the filter to realize I didn't switch the filter dialog and just modified the first thing's filter oops

A "current selected item" Filter pane dock would be cool. 🙂

[harsh topaz]

I'll get to that point some day. First I need OBS to not crash

[quiet bramble]

The 25 and 26 releases were the most stable ones since I started using OBS. They stomped a tonne of bugs in that timeframe. Prior to that I was finding crash and/or corruption issues like several times a day with my crazy setup, but it's been incredibly stable for a while now.

Granted I am also avoiding certain features that are potentially problematic like Groups too though. 🙂

Nowadays if OBS crashes, it is almost always my own fault.

Or it's OBS's fault but a well known issue that I know workarounds for and forgot to do.

Hope to be able to test the next version's rc releases again. Didn't have the bandwidth this time around.

ya pretty much. StreamFX, Shaderfilter, Shaderfilter Plus, VirtualCam, NDI, all 5000 of Exeldro's awesome plugins, ASS, Spout, zillions of things

[harsh topaz]

And you haven't gotten the 1-frame jitter lag on transitions.

Interesting

[quiet bramble]

I haven't played with transitions much in ages

[harsh topaz]

It's a super infuriating thing to have happen.

I need to figure out what's causing it. Probably gonna be the next 2 days of my life trying to find out.

[quiet bramble]

I'll probably develop some custom shader transitions later this year

[vale vine]

no judder here

used a matte and move

[harsh topaz]

I mean it's a super random thing.

I can sometimes run a transition 20 times. Nothing.

Or 20 times, it happens 3 times.

Back and forth between same two scenes.

[vale vine]

yea. random schiit is the worst

[harsh topaz]

I think there's repo steps from Flaeri you can try on Exeldros Virtual Cam github.

Stop trying to talk me into breaking stuff 🤣 🤣 🤣

Honestly, just trying to ensure that it can be repo'd anywhere.

A lot of these niché issues I'm afraid can be hardware or OBS tied.

How fast/slow something is at rendering frames or getting information needed.

All it takes is 1 frame to jitter.

It will have to be probably Saturday mid day. It's my long week so I have 14 hour days tomorrow and Friday, with a 6 hour day on Saturday

But im down to try and break things

[mortal harbor]

guys any good plugin for fortnite?

to stream

[vivid sapphire]

what kind of plugin are you looking for?

[quiet bramble]

It's not only possible, but it's possible to do that with existing plugins. Exeldro's move-transition plugin for example.

Ah, there's no way to do that sort of thing at all I don't think. Window capture at least currently does not appear to be able to pick and choose individual windows within a given application, leaving display capture and it's inherent privacy/security concerns the only option I believe.

Theoretically it might be possible for someone to extend the built in functionality of the capture sources if Windows APIs have a way of providing a solution that OBS isn't using yet though. If one were to explore that option it'd be best to talk with the devs in #development about the possibility though.

That would make a fine feature improvement to OBS which I think a lot of people would appreciate - if it is even possible of course.

I suspect it is possible because Discord seems to be able to kind of do that kinda sorta.

It'd be great for tutorial videos without having to manually composite things in post

[peak vector]

so you basically what to write your own DWM within OBS?

[quiet bramble]

Not quite, it'd be capturing all of the windows of a given program and compositing them together in the same Z order to capture the whole application rather than a single window, or alternatively to have a way to cycle through specific windows of an app within the OBS user interface similar to how Discord does it (but most likely better than Discord)

At the moment, the best solution that I can think of to work around things is to have a spare monitor that does not have the Windows start menu/task bar on it dedicated to running apps for capture, and making sure no apps that do popup notifications etc. show up on that display or that they're not running.

actually the catch is windows API because windows has no support for selectively capturing windows in a single capture. You have to match functions together that are not in sync

[white dune]

what are you talking about? the windows api allows capturing individual windows no problem. the limit here is in obs selecting the correct window

[wary escarp]

💯

[keen lark]

the problem is updating the window positions accordingly that is not in sync with the capturing

that request sounded like a single source capturing multiple windows and that is where the catch comes in

Im trying to use input overlays, but i dont know how to use assets

im stuck here

[white dune]

seems idiot proof to me. point it at the files it needs and there you go.

[sharp flame]

I dont know where the files are

or i dont know where to get the files

@weak escarp @gusty barn Apologies for the ping but was helping someone trying to install Move Transition and Websocket and latest version of both do not install properly with 26.1.1 - Previous version of websocket installed and detected without issue but can't find one for MT.

And I'm explicitly sure it was done correctly as they screenshared doing the manual install.

[weak escarp]

latest version of move does not work with OBS 26

[vapid charm]

Ah

Any chance I could get a copy of 2.4.1?

[vapid charm]

Thank you kind sir.

[weak escarp]

or https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move-transition.913/history for all previous versions

[vapid charm]

And appears the same thing happens with OBSW.

Apologies for the ping and thanks for the answer.

How do i get a Streamlabs style alerts system

[quiet bramble]

Install StreamLabels from StreamLabs

@devout sluice if you can't find any workarounds to your issue, i could offer a workaround that will let you use display capture and hide everything if any sensitive information appears: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-share-video-and-audio-between-two-or-more-obs-studio-instances.1248/

Hi guys, I was told to use "visibility timer" script to make a source appear every x minutes and disappear after it, but I don't know how to set it up... Could someone help me?

I want to set a multimedia source to appear every 15 minutes (it lasts 15 seconds) and to disappear 16 seconds after, what should I put on every bracket of the script (mode/source-this I know XD-delay after activated/duration/hold time)?

OBS detects NDI HX camera app device fine and the app recognizes the connection but it doesnt show anything in OBS any idea why?

[untold jay]

@slim orbiti tried using ndi hx, too, got a black screen, you might have to receive the ndi feed using ndi studio monitor and use window capture on it

[vale vine]

Ndi hx worked like a charm on my samsung

Try changing the sending mode

Hold down the ndi button on the app

how do i open chat on obs

[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.

[mortal harbor]

now where

[dark sapphire]

that's General, you want Stream (left side)

Nobody can help me with this please?

[native flame]

hello im trying to create a simple black background for the text that is coming from a notepad html file and i want the background to automatically adjust to the text's width. but right now I could only applied the background to body tag, how do I separate the tag so that the background color only applies to the text not the body? I can't find tags/div reference for obs custom codes

[peak vector]

you need to write a proper HTML page to be able to do that

if you just have a text file, use the text source and load it there. You can add a few effects there as well

[native flame]

it wont be me who's going to use/change it tho so I was trying to make so that they only have to change the text file and not worry about the code shenanigans.
so I was wondering if there's a "content" div or something that's separates it from the body tag.

[peak vector]

did you try the text source if it offers you enough creative freedom?

[native flame]

yes, tho it does have the text background feature covered, sadly it doesnt have anything to let me set margins and stuff

[full tiger]

is this place a better place than the #linux-support channel to ask how to activate the obs-xdg-portal plugin?

[vivid sapphire]

could be wrong, but I don't think that plugin is needed anymore with obs 27?

you should be able to capture wayland via pipewire natively in OBS

which means it would be a question for #linux-support

unless @ionic rover would like to chime in
