Both OBS 27's native support, and the obs-xdg-portal plugin, require you to run OBS on either Wayland, or X11 with OBS_USE_EGL=1

Keep in mind that Qt sadly doesn't use the Wayland backend automatically if you're on GNOME - you need to run OBS Studio with the -platform wayland flag for that.

Alternatively, you can install OBS Studio from Flathub, which will correctly use X11 or Wayland regardless of your desktop environment.

[full tiger]

thanks @ionic rover That sounds like what I want to try!

hm... is there something else I might miss? Fedora34's obs 27.0.0 started with "obs -platform wayland" still does not capture the monitors or windows. So... there is something I must obviously miss?

@wary escarp I have a hotkey for creating a chapter in a video file for a recording
obs_hotkey_register_frontend("ChapterMarker", "Create chapter marker", HotkeyFunc, NULL);

[wary escarp]

That should be correct afaik
you say it works and you can set it, but it doesn't get stored when OBS is reopened, right?

[sterile tartan]

yeah it gets reset, here's what I got: https://github.com/Davidj361/ChapterMarker/blob/d09dc8b09193495b7d8114a6f3aff1edcbafd6b9/src/plugin-main.cc#L125

[wary escarp]

I think you have to store frontend hotkeys yourself
gimme a second, ill find an example

this is a good example
https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher/blob/master/src/hotkey.cpp
after registering, you'll need to re-load and set the hotkeys; when you see the code it should pretty much explain itself

[sterile tartan]

thanks

[untold jay]

@sterile tartan i see you're making good progress, i'm glad to see that, sorry i wasn't much help;
if you happen to make any binary builds that need testers, i'd like to help with that

[sterile tartan]

sounds good

[sterile tartan]

I'm getting a crash and trying to see the error, I'm building my plugin debug mode and I'm copy pasting the .dll and .pdb to the plugins folder but it's not telling me what line and error caused OBS to crash

only getting this:

ended up fixing the problem but just curious how I can get crash logs to tell me what line and error caused it to crash

well looks like i'm almost done, just need to get the hotkey saving

[dark sapphire]

and which of palakis' plugins did you try installing?

[tame crow]

obs-websocket-4.9.1-Windows-Installer.exe

https://github.com/Palakis/obs-websocket/releases

well this

[dark sapphire]

and you only have one copy of OBS installed?

[tame crow]

i had obs streamelements installed

[dark sapphire]

then the websocket installer might be incorrectly guessing where to install. you might have to use the zip version and install it manually

[tame crow]

how do i install it manually

[vernal raft]

This would be easy in Lioranboard, no idea how to do it otherwise. Sorry.

[tame crow]

i did it

[night coyote]

What is Lioranboard?

Oh I saw it

I have a stream deck, but I hoped there was a mode to just put a timer to a source to make it appear and disappear every x minutes, and not to push a button to do it 😅

Haven't use it, but you might be able to use this: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/dummy-source-to-execute-command.952/
if you can write a script of some sort.

combine it with obs-websocket via obscommand, as the forum entry suggests?

struggling to get web socket to actually connect from 1 pc to the next, anyone available to help?

my input overlay STILL wont work and its been well over a month, my keys are hooked up to X, C, Z, A, S, D
and they ALL WORK except my arrow keys

video: (inputs at the top left corner)

and just like that i fixed it

no imbed

THERE WE GO

my inputs are at the top left corner
why wont my arrow key inputs display

[unkempt vigil]

hey so I was trying to connect my pcs together using NDI but when I go to the dropdown of the NDI source I can't see my other pc

[night coyote]

I’ll take a look on that, thanks

[quiet bramble]

That is usually caused by having a firewall on one or the other or both PCs blocking NDI traffic. If you have firewall(s) you have to configure them to permit NDI traffic to pass through.

[unkempt vigil]

I have permitted them

is obs have any feature that shows the webcam while recording

[white dune]

you can certainly use a video capture source to show your webcam

[cold mantle]

is there any internal feature in it to show webcam

[white dune]

you must add it as a source

[white dune]

i wasn't aware that you installed those to obs in the first place

i thought those were system wide

[wanton spruce]

Heya folks. I'm having a similar problem to The King above. I'm guessing the OBS Websocket installer is targeting the wrong location, but I've tried placing the folders in their appropriate spot and still im having no luck.

I'm on OBS Studio 27.0.1 (64bit), and was trying to install obs-websocket-4.91.

any thoughts?

What did ou do to get it to work?

Solved by a standard uninstall, and reinstall. Followed by manual copy/pasta. notes for any future person trying to do the same

[grave plover]

Do you need to be live-streaming in order to verify that a Streamlabs chat box is connected properly to your OBS studio scene? Or can you test it offline?

[untold jay]

@grave plover no, send nay message to verify it works

[mortal harbor]

got websocket connected from my streamdeck on my gaming PC to my OBS on my streaming PC. just trying to figure out what commands to actually send to change scenes

[untold jay]

@mortal harbor https://github.com/Palakis/obs-websocket/blob/4.x-current/docs/generated/protocol.md

[mortal harbor]

i was looking at this, i just cant seem to get the syntax right. can you give an example of what a line to switch to a scene called "Main" would be @untold jay

[untold jay]

k, testing

@mortal harbor
SetCurrentScene={'scene-name': 'Main'}

this mix of single and double quotes is incredibly confusing

[mortal harbor]

odd, still not working for me

[untold jay]

works in obscommand

OBSCommand.exe /sendjson="SetCurrentScene={'scene-name': 'Main'}"

[mortal harbor]

trying to run it in the WSProxy plugin for streamdeck

i got the notification that websocket connected

[untold jay]

no idea how this works, but you could run obscommand from streamdeck

[mortal harbor]

haven't used obs command before :/

[untold jay]

it doesn't bite, too much

[mortal harbor]

just downloaded, where do i put the OBSCommand folder

(there's no readme)

sorry for so many questions, usually i'm not this clueless

[untold jay]

have you used commandline applications before?

[mortal harbor]

yes

[untold jay]

well, install it like you would install any other commandline application

doesn't matter where you put it, as long as streamdeck can run it from there

[mortal harbor]

so i set the app to open in the elgato software as C:\Users\Mitchell\Documents\OBSCommand\OBSCommand.exe /sendjson="SetCurrentScene={'scene-name': 'Main'}

the command line opened, no dice though

[untold jay]

if you need to send commands to a different pc, don't forget the ip

[mortal harbor]

hopefully last question: where do i put that IP

[untold jay]

OBSCommand.exe /server=192.168.0.101:4444 /sendjson="SetCurrentScene={'scene-name': 'Main'}

obscommand docs: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/command-line-tool-for-obs-websocket-plugin-windows.615/

[mortal harbor]

DONE

working, thank you

not seeing any command to toggle a source's visibility

[untold jay]

@mortal harbor maybe this one?

[mortal harbor]

C:\Users\Mitchell\Documents\OBSCommand\OBSCommand.exe /server=192.168.1.34:4444 /sendjson="togglesource={'myscene/mysource': 'NDI Camera/Camera'}

wht have i done wrong -_-

[untold jay]

@mortal harbor you haven't read the documentation for obscommand
obscommand /hidesource="Input Overlay"

[mortal harbor]

im trying to use the togglesource command

toggling the "Camera" source in the "NDI Camera" scene

[untold jay]

sendjson is specifically for sending commands that are documented in the obs-websocket docs, but obscommand seems to have its own commands that do not require sendjson

from obscommand docs:
OBSCommand.exe /togglesource=myscene/mysource

[mortal harbor]

C:\Users\Mitchell\Documents\OBSCommand\OBSCommand.exe /server=192.168.1.34:4444 /togglesource=NDI Camera/BRB

have tried that to toggle BRB inside my NDI Camera scene

[untold jay]

bad syntax again, didn't wrap scene name in quotes

if you have more questions, ask them now, i'll need to leave soon-ish

[mortal harbor]

final question because this is the only thing i'll have left to do, i still can't seem to get the syntax right

OBSCommand.exe /server=192.168.1.34:4444 /togglesource='NDI Camera'/BRB

[untold jay]

C:\Users\Mitchell\Documents\OBSCommand\OBSCommand.exe /server=192.168.1.34:4444 /togglesource="NDI Camera"/"BRB"

[mortal harbor]

And it was that easy....

okay that should be enough for me to learn everything else i need to on my own

thanks for the spoon feeding

[untold jay]

single/double quotes can be incredibly counter-intuitive to use in CLI apps, as windows requires double " quotes and linux requires single ' quotes, and some applications may or may not explicitly require a specific type of quotes

if you're confused, that's by design, i too get confused sometimes

[mortal harbor]

usually after a few different examples i can pick it up on my own

i appreciate the help a lot

[feral oasis]

Are there any plugins to separate the recordings and replay buffer directories?
Would make organisation a lot easier for me 😅

Not an issue if there isn't, just thought i'd check

[untold jay]

@feral oasis you can use the \ character in replay buffer prefix to put replays in a separate folder

[feral oasis]

Sorry I don't quite understand

[untold jay]

even better, you can split recordings by month, or by month and day, like this:

@feral oasis go to settings>advanced and change replay buffer prefix to Replays\, then save a replay

[feral oasis]

oops replays

[untold jay]

no, that's suffix, remove the suffix and change prefix to Replays\

[feral oasis]

Cool

[untold jay]

now replays will go in their own subfolder, is this what you wanted?

[feral oasis]

Oh thats sick

Thank you so much

I assume that if you make different folders, then change the prefix to that folders name it will then go into that folder

[untold jay]

no need to create the folders, obs-studio will create them if necessary

[feral oasis]

cool cool, yeah it automatically made that one

btw you seem to have a good layout for recordings, have any other tips?

[untold jay]

i'm currently using the following filename syntax:
%CCYY.%MM.%DD\%CCYY.%MM.%DD_%hh-%mm-%ss
replays have no prefix, suffixed with ``_replay`

file names end up looking like this:

[feral oasis]

Oh nice

yeah so when I removed the prefix it also went into the normal recordings folder, and that suffix adds it at the end instead

Btw is this the right channel to ask for help for this type of stuff?

[untold jay]

the ability to have a completely separate filename format for replay buffers was removed, so had to make do with this

well, your original question was appropriate for this channel

[feral oasis]

Ok phew, noticed I was the in the "Development" category

[untold jay]

*not removed, but rather never re-implemented since obs-classic

[wary escarp]

yeah, Development is more the other channels in the category, plugins-and-tools is for both developing and discussing / questions about plugins

[feral oasis]

Nice, so it looks like I was in the right channel after all

So, something i've been wondering is if it was possible to create a replay buffer for scenes that aren't active 🤔
I run a tournament where we have 4 players on screen, and i've always wanted to show action replays for specific players as interesting things happen.

I've watched various action replay videos and it seems pretty awesome, though its only for the entire scene

[untold jay]

@feral oasis you're in luck, a plugin for this was implemented literally a few weeks ago https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-record.1285/

[feral oasis]

I am going to cry, I can't believe I didn't find this

Thank you!

Hopefully it works in conjugation with the other plugins used for action replays

[untold jay]

if you have nvidia hardware and are planning on using their hardware encoder, you might need a jailbreak to run 4 or more encoding sessions for those replay buffers, or buy an overpriced quadro card https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch/tree/master/win

[feral oasis]

That is something I thought about yeah. The tournament we run is very small at the moment, but as it grows I plan on investing in better hardware like that.
I was mostly asking just prep myself in the future.

[untold jay]

evo was small at some point too, good luck in your endeavors

[feral oasis]

Thanks 👊

!virtualcam off

[oblique yew]

Windows: OBS v26 and above contains a basic virtual camera. For advanced usage, such as preview or specific scene/source output, try the third party plugin.

macOS: OBS v26.1 and above contains a standard virtual camera. Having issues with specific programs? Check this guide.

Linux: OBS v26.1 and above contains a standard virtual camera. v4l2loopback is required, best installed via the v4l2loopback-dkms package.

[vital condor]

!off virtualcam

To uninstall VirtualCam on Windows:

1. Navigate to: C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins\win-dshow
2. Right click virtualcam-uninstall.bat, and Run as Administrator.

If you have OBS installed in a different directory (or in portable mode), right click your OBS shortcut and choose "Open file location" to track down the location of the obs-studio directory.

No matter what I do or try, can't get this to go away. Any ideas? Started happening few days ago.

[obs-websocket] server: listen failed: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

That's the only thing that pops up in the logs

[vivid sapphire]

what things have you tried?

[thin narwhal]

Checked that nothing is using that port with Process Hacker, reinstalled websocket, tried websocket on a different portable version of OBS, closed any programs that might interact with the websocket (Touch Portal), restarted my PC, disabled firewall, different websocket port etc

[vivid sapphire]

have you tried changing the port that the websocket server is running on?

[thin narwhal]

yes was about to edit my comment

haha

it looks like it works if I leave it alone for like 10 minutes after the error pops up though

but then it stops working on the next pc reboot

[clever jungle]

Hi Please help me having trouble ndi not showing?

[quiet bramble]

@thin narwhal When you encounter that error, bring up network monitoring software and see what program is currently using the port websockets is trying to use. You appear to have a conflict with multiple programs trying to use the same port, and may have to reconfigure one of them to use a different port or ensure that they do not both run at the same time.

Blah, you seem to have done that already... Reading and responding as I go... should have scrolled down first. 🙂

With the Stream Deck tool, is it possible for it to also see portable copies of OBS?

There's nothing different to portable OBS, you probably just need to manually install the plugin in there

[vapid glacier]

List of available plugins: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/categories/6/

@vestal gust You can have a look through the available plugins to see if anything of that nature exists. If not you'd have to develop it or have someone develop it for your use likely.

[neon moon]

Hey, I am having issues installing the move transition plugin by Exeldro. Is this because I use obs.live?

[quiet bramble]

Are you using EXE file installer?

[neon moon]

yes

[quiet bramble]

Restart OBS after install?

[neon moon]

I have also tried manually\

Yep

[quiet bramble]

Do you have multiple OBS installations on your computer?

[neon moon]

Potentially, is there a way to check?

[quiet bramble]

Depends on how they were installed. Programs installed with an installer register in Windows assuming you're using Windows. But if they're installed by unzipping a zip file they're technically not known to the rest of the system but no way to check other than to know where you put them, or to search everywhere you might have put them.

Some installers will install to an OBS install by default (may or may not allow configuration of this), and it may not be the installation the person is actually using if there are multiple installs, so it will show up in the OBS they're not using.

Not sure if Exeldro's installer is like that or not off the top of my head, but I believe he repurposed the StreamFX installer and it did that previously.

Definitely recommended to get rid of any lingering unused OBS installs just to avoid problems if any are present. If you need multiple installs or have a reason to keep such though you can install plugins manually if a ZIP file method is provided, but it is usually recommended to use EXE file method instead as lots of people install the files in the wrong places when trying to use ZIP file method.

[neon moon]

Ok, so I could do it manually, I just dont know which obs install to put it in.

[fiery violet]

the plug in for audio monotoring crushed my obs i can´t any more obs start they say is broken

[neon moon]

yeah so I did find a different obs install in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\OBS Studio, manually extracted the zip and still nothing.

[quiet bramble]

If you look at your OBS shortcut properties it will show you what directory it launches OBS from, and that is the installation you'll want to install plugins into. If you unzip and move a plugin's files into the correct OBS installation and the plugin doesn't show up in OBS after you restart it then either you've installed the files in the wrong place, or you've installed the source code zip file by mistake, or some other installation related problem. Again, best thing to do is completely uninstall any unnecessary OBS installations or even all of them, then reinstall just the one you're actually using. Makes life a lot easier overall.

I'm on a slightly older version of move-transition... going to upgrade it to ensure that it works here.

[neon moon]

will i lose my scenes or data if I uninstall all of them?

[quiet bramble]

Not unless you tell it to delete all data.

[neon moon]

I finally got it to work thank you

[fiery violet]

how can i fix my crushed my obs ?

[quiet bramble]

@fiery violet Hmm, I'm not familiar with the plugin (or tool) called "my crushed", where did you get it from? 🙂

[fiery violet]

obs forum i hear that can change my audio monotoring to mix up better

[sick crown]

is there a way to retrieve a custom packet text? im working with lioranboard and i cant seem to format my gain filter through mic appropriately in t

[untold jay]

@sick crown what's the use case, exactly? need to switch to a different gain value?

[sick crown]

yep, change to a different gain/expander value through channel twitch channel points

[untold jay]

lioranboard can run arbitrary executables, which means you can use obscommand to trigger a websocket command, which might be able to trigger a move transition

[sick crown]

im kinda lost, im still learning the in's and out's of obs. what do you mean by lioran can run executables? do you mean obs itself?

[quiet bramble]

Yeah, Move Value

obscommand is a program you can download that can control OBS from the commandline through websockets

[untold jay]

now i need to test this and see it this works at all

[sick crown]

i think i installed it, where would I type the command in? obs?

[untold jay]

still trying to set this up, not sure what the exact steps are, yet

for now, install:
obs-websocket
move-transition
obscommand (download only, can't be "installed")

[sick crown]

i have the web socket already installed

obs command is what i was trying to install

[untold jay]

this is a tad more complicated than i expected, but i got this

[quiet bramble]

Also beware if you're using OBS 26.x or older it appears the latest version of move-transition does not work with it and requires OBS 27.

[untold jay]

json is a pain

[harsh topaz]

Depending on how complex you're trying to make things - NOOBS Cmdr can use OBSCommand to send things.

[quiet bramble]

The biggest problem that annoys me isn't JSON itself but rather some programs that use JSON will automatically delete their config files and create fresh default ones if there is a single letter typo in the JSON file.

[untold jay]

mixing single and double quotes is incredibly annoying

also, there are way too many quotes

[quiet bramble]

I like the fact the file format is strict, but don't like the fact that some programs have "set the world on fire" as the default course of action if a problem is found during parsing.

[untold jay]

SetSourceFilterVisibility={'sourceName': '2default','filterName': '15db','filterEnabled': 'true'}
let's see how much i messed up this

Error: sendjson error:

obscommand /sendjson="SetSourceFilterVisibility={'sourceName': '2default','filterName': '0db','filterEnabled': 'true'}"
i can't tell where i fucked up this time

[sick crown]

im using 27

[untold jay]

i have an audio source called 2default, with filters called 0db and 15db, the 15db filter, when activated, changes the Gain to 15db on a different filter, but it only works in the UI, it doesn't work when i run obscommand

[quiet bramble]

try swapping " and '

[sick crown]

i installed the move transition, but i cant seem to be able to type any commands, do i have to keep the command line prompt open?

[quiet bramble]

'Foo={"bar": "baz","boo": true}'

[untold jay]

Error: sendjson error:
Unexpected end of content while loading JObject. Path 'sourceName', line 1, position 12.```

the command was: obscommand /sendjson='SetSourceFilterVisibility={"sourceName": "2default","filterName": "0db","filterEnabled": "true"}'

@sick crown this turned out to be a lot more complicated than i initially thought, i can't toggle a filter's visibility in a way that should have been possible

hold up, i did something wrong

obscommand /sendjson="SetSourceFilterVisibility={'sourceName': '2default','filterName': 'Gain','filterEnabled': 'true'}"
somehow, this disabled the Gain filter

did i forget what's a boolean? did i wake up in some alternate reality where true == false?

[sick crown]

i think what i might do honestly then at this point is make seperate filters and just make them switch on and off when triggered

and have them set to the values I want

[untold jay]

ya, that'll be easier

"i tried"

[sick crown]

right, lemme see if I can get it working in the receiver.

got it working,i appreciate you though helping me! JSON is a mess to use lol

[harsh topaz]

How are you firing these commands?

[sick crown]

you mean the trigger? through twitch channel points.

[harsh topaz]

I mean, are you running a script to send the OBSCommand?

I assume you're not writing CL

[sick crown]

i couldnt get OBS command to even work properly and then the value wouldnt register correctly through a custom packet so i just set up a new filter with the settings i wanted and it turns it on when someone triggers it

[harsh topaz]

Hmm, strange you couldn't get OBSCommand to work, runs flawlessly here.

I use NOOBS Cmdr to make scripts, send the commands through OBSCommand > Websocket to OBS. Haven't had any issues with it not working.

[untold jay]

@harsh topaz i'm trying to toggle a Move Value filter's visibility, and it doesn't work through obscommand, only through UI

[harsh topaz]

Ah, I don't think OBSC has toggle for filters.

iirc its show/hide.

Are you able to toggle it with websocket at all?

I don't think there's a toggle state directly in websocket, you might be able to json check if the filter is enabled or not and then set accordingly perhaps - but afaik OBSC doesn't have the capabilities of checking, it just fires a command to set something.

You should be able to send json with OBSC as well @untold jay

[untold jay]

@harsh topaz#plugins-and-tools message

[harsh topaz]

Oh, my bad

[untold jay]

this is where i gave up, because it did something it probably shouldn't have

[harsh topaz]

Not exactly sure what you were trying to do - but if you're just trying to enable a filter, OBSC works just fine for that with /command=SetSourceFilterVisibility,sourceName="Scene1",filterName="Blur",filterEnabled=True

And also your json should be
obscommand /sendjson="SetSourceFilterVisibility={'sourceName': 'Scene1','filterName': 'Blur','filterEnabled': true}" - worked just fine.

@untold jay tried
obscommand /sendjson="SetSourceFilterVisibility={'sourceName': '2default','filterName': 'Gain','filterEnabled': true}" ?

[untold jay]

@harsh topaz no, but i'll try not to forget for next time

apparently true does not equal 'true'

[harsh topaz]

'true' string, true boolean

[untold jay]

fffuuu-

[harsh topaz]

[mortal harbor]

looks like the asio plugin doesn't like obs 27.0

[harsh topaz]

Yolo and audio issues, name a more iconic duo 😄

[unkempt vigil]

hey can someone help me oout in fixing ndi

I have tried everything

when I try to add the ndi source and I click the dropdown fot the pc

it doesn't show me

[quiet bramble]

Did it work before, or is this your first time using NDI?

[unkempt vigil]

first time

[quiet bramble]

Ok, check your firewall on each machine you're using NDI on to ensure it is permitting NDI traffic through.

[unkempt vigil]

I did I also set up the rules

[unkempt vigil]

is it possible if someone could help me out in vc

[mortal harbor]

i just immediately gave up because i didn't care enough to record my ableton session but still annoying lol

[peak vector]

I am using Reaper with their ReaRoute thing plus obs-asio quite successfully

no weird asio->wasapi transition this way

[mortal harbor]

IDK Why i always forget about reaper. will try tomorrow, thx @peak vector

[peak vector]

you can just install Reaper to get the ReaRoute installed and use that with Ableton afaik

(haven't tried that tho)

[vast wharf]

how can i access obs api using javascript
i want to implement a recorder using obs api

[peak vector]

Please stop cross-posting your question everywhere

[vast wharf]

ooh sorry for that

[peak vector]

use websocket to control a "real" OBS if you have no idea how to integrate libobs with node

[vast wharf]

i did't get a convinient answer for that

[peak vector]

No one here will help you making that, Streamlabs already did that

[vast wharf]

ok thank you for your valuable time

[mortal harbor]

I need help with the own 3d pluggin

[jaunty ingot]

I download the plugin StreamFX for my macos. I'm not sure if it even installed or not. I'm sure I placed it in the right place which was the plugins folder. I dragged both the bin and data folders that came with StreamFX into plugins. I started up OBS.live and I don't see any new filters options.

Like I'm literally just trying to use the blur selection effect from StreamFX and that's all.

[vapid charm]

@jaunty ingot yeah....

You most likely are on v27 which is a no-no for OBS.Live atm.

You have to uninstall OBS.Live, uninstall OBS, Reinstall OBS 26.1.2, Reinstall OBS.Live and don't update to 27.

Also make sure you have a 26 friendly copy.

[jaunty ingot]

@vapid charm Thanks! If you don't mind, I have a small tiny tinyyy second question... is there a way I can export my settings like I can with my profile and scenes collection? So that way I don't have to redo my settings manually one by one again?

Or will the settings be saved with my profile when I export profile?

[quiet bramble]

The profile is the settings.

[inner marsh]

still? wow is there any eta

[vapid charm]

Nope.

[weak escarp]

I am trying to update my replay source plugin to support OBS version 27 but the plugin installer became larger than 2 MB and the forum will not let me upload it "The uploaded file is too large.". Why is this restriction for plugins?

[white dune]

just do a github release or something

[weak escarp]

some people seem to find the releases on GitHub hard to find, that is why I have all my plugin releases on the OBS forum

[vale vine]

Github is absolutely a pain in the a$$

[hard jay]

I don't think there's any specific reason past "it's the default and we never changed it."

I'll defer to @ocean cliff on updating it though.

[harsh topaz]

Is there an issue with StreamFX 'mirror' source and letting audio come through from Browser Sources?

I have to assume it's just broken because the Source itself is broadcasting audio in the Audio Mixer. And the output has Audio if recorded. Using Source Mirror has no audio, with or without enable audio enabled - and regardless of what audio layout I seem to use. And even if it shows the browser source in the Source Mirror with audio going up and down, no audio comes out in the other end.

[oblique yew]

If you are looking for more information or support for the StreamFX plugin, please visit the forum resource page.

[vale vine]

👀

[ocean cliff]

@barren basin makes the rules on our file limits

[ocean cliff]

Almost every plugin on the forum works this way to be fair

[hard jay]

I don't have any concerns with it past file storage and bandwidth limitations.

[white dune]

you must have some plugin if 2 mb isn't enough

[weak escarp]

Most of my plugin keep within the 2MB, this is the first time a plugin installer reached 2MB for me.

[mortal harbor]

Ummm... So I'm new to this place and I really need help on OBS using Twitch with adding a chat popup so I could see if someone said someone in the chat. I don't know how to work anything and Youtube videos aren't doing good at this point.

[white dune]

find a provider and listen to their instructions

[mortal harbor]

Sorry I just joined this Group on Discord andd well I don't know anyone that could help me. Provider? How do I find one?

[white dune]

well, where do you host the chat? the same website will likely be the provider

[weak escarp]

For Replay Source the dll is 200KB, the pdb file is 2.5MB, zipped both 32 and 64 bit it is 1.4MB, but putting it in an installer just puts it over 2 MB

[white dune]

ditch the pdb file in public releases. it's just debugging symbols

[weak escarp]

I prefer having pdb files for analyzing crashes

[mortal harbor]

Host the chat? Like on Twitch? Sorry I'm not really good at understanding things haha. I'm a little confused! But I use Twitch is that what you ment?

[white dune]

yeah.

you need non obs code to render the chat. most likely in the form of a special webpage loaded in the browser source

[mortal harbor]

Ohhh, Okay so I used a code to make a popup chat before. But each time I typed in testing my comment didn't pop up. Is it supposed to do that? Afterwards I deleted the pop up chat box.

[harsh topaz]

Yep, can't get audio through Scenes with StreamFXs Source Mirror - doesn't work like Nested Scenes in OBS

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vale vine]

Yea, I don't use source mirror for anything that needs audio

[harsh topaz]

Can't* :p

Really a shame, would've been great. Guess it's back to the drawing board to search for a solution.

The life of an OBS user

[vale vine]

*The life of an obs (power) user

[harsh topaz]

I mean it really was nothing complicated. Simply trying to add a Mirror of a Scene to a 2nd scene, and get the audio from the first scene.

Hardly a power move.

[vale vine]

Nest that scene one level deeper hahaha

[harsh topaz]

You joke but... it'll probably end up being the required format.

4 levels of nested scenes, what a nightmare.

Someone save me. Fix groups.

[vale vine]

If groups could be guaranteed to be less fudgy that would be the ideal scenario

I'm going all groups on my next collection. Now I'm interested in trying to break things

[harsh topaz]

You my friend, is in for one heck of a rollercoaster ride.

But at least you'll have Undo now I suppose.

[vale vine]

I just wanna see what I can make burn.

[boreal hearth]

just a small test, maybe it'll actually turn into a finished plugin before obs gets a builtin plugin manager

[harsh topaz]

@vale vine

How you pulling plugin info, is it available in the plugins themselves for other purposes? @boreal hearth

[vale vine]

Plugin manager? Ooooooo

[harsh topaz]

Looks like I might be getting more plugins. To handle my plugins

[vale vine]

King of plugins!

[harsh topaz]

Will it come for Windows though, not liking that (Linux) at the top

[vale vine]

Yea, my brain is too smooth for linux

[harsh topaz]

strong

[boreal hearth]

The basic information like name, description and author are pulled through functions which some plugins already implement. Additional information like the logo or the links have to be specifically provided to the plugin manager, which I did for spectralizer in this case.

[harsh topaz]

@inner marsh Peak dis

[harsh topaz]

Ah okay. There's no api or anything to query for OBS?

Would be neat n nifty if that information could automatically be pulled from the obsproject site with plugins 😄

[boreal hearth]

yeah if I'll get it into a working state it'll be available for windows as well

[inner marsh]

that looks sick dude!

how bout mac?

[harsh topaz]

Think @quiet bramble might be interested in a peak too when he gets back online 😄

[inner marsh]

cant forget about us

[harsh topaz]

Pssch, who uses Mac

[vale vine]

Super smooth brains haha

[harsh topaz]

[boreal hearth]

not directly no and using the forums would only be possible if I'd be able to associate a plugin with a forum resource page which isn't really possible I think

[harsh topaz]

So.. no scraping

I guess best/easiest would be to built a db that gets updated periodically?

Top 100 most popular plugins would probably cover majority of wants.

[boreal hearth]

idk, I usually provide mac builds but I have had mostly negative experience with supporting macos, also I'll have to get it into a usable state first

[inner marsh]

do you have any obs plugin currently?

sorry i dont really pay attention to all that stuff

[boreal hearth]

maybe, currently the idea was to just let other developers provide the info to the plugin manager in some way, a database would be a bit more effort

[boreal hearth]

yeah input overlay, spectralizer and some others

[vale vine]

Spectralizer is soooo good

[boreal hearth]

that one gave me the most headaches with macos users :P

[harsh topaz]

This sounds good in practice but your product would be hindered by the possible lack of efforts of others though.

[inner marsh]

if you are thinking about implementing it into obs, i would defiantly take a look at one of the rfc's which at least one has talked about the plugin manager stuff cause one time writing it would be better then 2 times writing it once for a plugin, and once to be implemented https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/

[vale vine]

Forget mac, headaches gone. Problem SOLVED

[inner marsh]

hey, mac stuff is either it works, a 2 sec fix, or not at all, better then dealing with mc folks

[boreal hearth]

yeah I've seen the RFCs, I'm just trying to quickly implement something now that can be used. I'm not too much concerned with getting it merged since that would require a lot more polish.

[inner marsh]

fair enough

so are you going to try to make it possible to download the plugins, update them, and remove them right from inside obs?

or what would it do?

and lmk if u answered this above and i missed it

[boreal hearth]

right now I just want the manager to be able to disable/enable, uninstall and maybe install plugins. The other stuff is more complicated and also probably the reason why the proposal for the builtin manager is so complex

[inner marsh]

nice!

[harsh topaz]

Tbh, why don't they just start on a super basic plugin manager - and built on that?

"This shows the plugins you have" would be a nice start.

Half the time I'm even confused what I have installed

[inner marsh]

i think the main thing that i would love to see is the uninstall feature

[harsh topaz]

Then they could add versions of stuff next.

[inner marsh]

cause then people dont have to go digging around in folders or this or that

[harsh topaz]

Then maybe more complex things like uninstalling.

Am not sure why a "full all functions solution" has to be the first thing to get implemented, I mean as you improve it over time you can release more advanced versions of it with the releases of OBS surely

[boreal hearth]

I don't know, but I guess they want to make sure they think of most features before implementing the plugin manager since fixing things up later isn't that fun

[harsh topaz]

You pulling what plugins are installed automatically?

As in it'll always show what plugins you have; possibly just not with all data available

[boreal hearth]

Yeah, if you check "list unmanaged plugins" it'll list all plugins. Managed plugins are installed into a separated folder though, to make sure that the plugin manager has write access to them without needing admin/root rights.

[harsh topaz]

Managed plugins are installed
So you are planning an install feature

[vivid sapphire]

@boreal hearth Why not work on a plugin manager for OBS?

[harsh topaz]

yeah I've seen the RFCs, I'm just trying to quickly implement something now that can be used. I'm not too much concerned with getting it merged since that would require a lot more polish.

[boreal hearth]

because then I have to pay attention to code quality :P

[harsh topaz]

Imagginneeeee

[vivid sapphire]

well, the concern I have is that it would fragment the plugin ecosystem

[harsh topaz]

It would.. what?

[vivid sapphire]

#plugins-and-tools message

^ whatever way that developers would provide plugin metadata to the plugin manager would have to also be compatible with however OBS ends up doing it

otherwise you have plugin developers having to maintain 2 different versions of their plugin

[boreal hearth]

yeah I get that, I'll read through the RFCs again to see what metadata format was suggested

[vivid sapphire]

unfortunately there hasnt been must actual discussion on those RFCs

just people proposing ideas

which may or may not be bad or good

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Is Source Record 0.2.0 supposed to be functional with 27.0.1? Something tells me this isnt intended behaviour https://streamable.com/9rneuw

[simple tusk]

I have a problem with stream control in obs 27, does anyone know how to solve it, the cell phone does not connect to the websocket of obs 27 and I can not manage my obs from the cell phone.

[dark lynx]

Need help, Stream elements is not letting me change the preset image for alerts, its the standard one no matter how many times I upload a new one and clear the old one

edit its actually not letting me change anything, not the text image or alert sound

[weak escarp]

That is a known bug: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/4715

[simple tusk]

In obs 27 is there any problem with obs-websocket, since I am trying to enter from my cell phone to treamControl and I have not been able to log in the port and IP. But before if I could enter, now my cell phone does not recognize my OBS, the firewall configuration is fine and my IP address too.

[harsh topaz]

Urgh another OBS issue. Is there currently any way around this? Seems too risky for production atm.

[weak escarp]

don't use the replay buffer on source record for now, no work around I know

[harsh topaz]

Okay, unfortunate but understandable. Thanks.

[quiet bramble]

Exeldro... breaching the barriers with innovation! 🙂

@OBS-webserver You can't contain the Exeldro! 🙂

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Sorry to tag you again; but this started happening after v27. Is this a v27 thing or a Move Transition thing? https://streamable.com/3agj8v

Matching items don't keep their.. I don't even know what to call it. Transparency? It's like there's two of them so it lights up.

Never encountered anything like this in v26.

[weak escarp]

what version of move transition are you using?

[harsh topaz]

Unsure, where do I check 😮

[weak escarp]

in your obs log file or the properties of the dll

[harsh topaz]

The strange part is, the source is the same in both scenes. So essentially it should do "nothing".

[weak escarp]

it was fixed in version 2.4.2

[harsh topaz]

Ye it's 100% associated with Color Correction and filter.

Ah, okay - didn't know there was new version, shit I should've checked. Sorry.

Yep, fixed. thanks

[vale vine]

[harsh topaz]

Hi everyone I just had one question, is a YouTube Music 'NowPlaying' seems relevant to you guys ?

[tribal raptor]

In obs 27 is there any problem with obs-websocket, since I am trying to enter from my cell phone to treamControl and I have not been able to log in the port and IP. But before if I could enter, now my cell phone does not recognize my OBS, the firewall configuration is fine and my IP address too.

[livid otter]

Hey, does anyone one know of any plugins/tools that I can use to level-up my news broadcasts?

[untold jay]

@livid otter depends on what you already have set up
a lot of people who "react" to videos move their webcam source by mouse, which looks unprofessional, the move transition plugin can help here

[livid otter]

@untold jay I'm talking about overlays, lower thirds and what not.

[untold jay]

@livid otter there's a plugin for lower thirds, https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/downstream-keyer.1254/

Hello, I'm using the current version of OBS and just installed the websocket plugin version 4.9.1 but the option "websocket server settings" doesn't show up under "tools" when I start up OBS. any help would be appreciated!

[peak vector]

@pallid arch No, the websocket plugin is just not (correctly) installed

use the plugin installer instead of the Zip file for easiest installation

[pallid arch]

I already used the plugin installer though and it still doesn't show up...

[peak vector]

did the installer detect the correct OBS location?

if you have a custom path or using a manual/portable install, it may not work

[still coral]

can anyone recommend a good midi plugin to control obs via midi controller?

[harsh topaz]

like https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-midi.1023/ ?

[pallid arch]

does the plugin need to be installed in "\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins" or "\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\obs-plugins"?
because it is currently installed in the second one (I did not set a custom path, the installer did that automatically)

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Quick note, the fast selection thing you added (which btw is super nice) doesn't seem to remember selected duration. It keeps whatever is defaulted. Don't know if this is intended behaviour. It also does it with 'Transition', don't know that's intended either 👍 https://streamable.com/kp6qd2

[weak escarp]

https://github.com/exeldro/obs-transition-table/actions/runs/946549864

that is for the duration part

[peak vector]

to where you actual OBS is installed.

If you have multiple OBS currently I recommend to remove them all and install cleanly a single one

[harsh topaz]

Seems to work, no immediate crashes! 👍

A nice feature as well would be a way to get back to "default" (where it shows all your transition tables) without having to manually go into 'From', scroll top, select empty field > go to 'To', scroll top, select empty field.

If you ever get bored and want to add something

[pallid arch]

my problem has been resolved. thank you so much for your help ❤️

[lapis dust]

Hey!
I could use some help please! I am trying to install Replay Source on OBS and it is asking to install on the same directory as obs-studio. It asks "the folder already exists. Would you like to install to that folder anyway?".

Should I just press Yes?

It wouldn't change anything right?

[vale vine]

Just press yes

#Trust

[lapis dust]

Just wanna make sure. And of course I #Trust
I don't know where I would've been if I hadn't found OBS. It's really a great software

Thanks for the help!!

And what's the process if I wanna remove a specific plugin?

[gaunt zealot]

You should always use the .exe installer for the plugin. If you use the .exe installer, the plug-in will be in Windows' Add Remove Programs for removal, just like any other application.

[white dune]

and if there is no such installer, good luck!

[quiet bramble]

@lapis dust What they said, plus... if a plugin was installed manually by copying files into OBS directories, the only way to remove it is to go manually remove each file that you copied into the OBS directories manually. Generally not feasible unless you wrote them down on a piece of paper or something. 🙂

[lapis dust]

How does selective recording works on Source Record? I have a filter on but it is still recording the whole Scene!

[vale vine]

Did you put the filter on a specific source or a scene?

[lapis dust]

Source! Like in game capture

[vale vine]

Let's see the properties of the filter

[lapis dust]

Screenshot?

[vale vine]

Yep

[lapis dust]

Can I send a clip?

[vale vine]

Shouldn't need a Clip. Just need screenshots of the filter properties

[lapis dust]

It's small

[vale vine]

Use snip if on windows

You can screenshot just that box

It won't be small

[lapis dust]

Snipping can't take scrolling ss can it?

[vale vine]

Multiple shots are acceptable

[lapis dust]

Sorry it took so long, it's my first time using snipping tool!

[vale vine]

Don't use nvenc new, unless @weak escarp got that fixed?

[weak escarp]

nope not fixed yet

[lapis dust]

So just NVENC?

[vale vine]

Yea

[lapis dust]

Oh! That worked!
Thanks a lot! You guys are really the best!

[vale vine]

👍 👍

Happy times with not needing slobs. Thanks Exeldro!!!

[lapis dust]

Well! Slobs? I would prefer OBS any day because of it's easy and friendly interface! I knew about SLOBS Selective streaming but I am quite attached to OBS!

So was trying to find a way on it..

[vale vine]

Yea, that feature I believe was the 2nd most requested for quite some time

[harsh topaz]

@weak escarp Using 'Move Value' to change the 'Size' of the StreamFX 'Blur' filter creates some strange visual flashes. (Start and end, inbetween is manually dragging slider). Is this a Move Transition thing, OBS thing or StreamFX thing? https://streamable.com/ip40p1

It's 3 filters
1 Blur
2 Move Value.
One move value set to > Filter Blur > Single setting > value 0 .
Other move value set to > Filter Blur > Single setting > value 60 .

@weak escarp Ignore that, It works with Gaussian just not Box. Xaymar delivered possible explanation; I'm simply not gonna use Box 👍

[rough egret]

hi im trying to put a widget onto my stream elements but no idea how to do it its a custom widget btw

or stright onto obs is fine

[swift cliff]

I recently had to do a clean install of OBS and now it seems that Tuna doesn't want to play nice anymore... as soon as I try to connect my Spotify, I open the login page to copy the auth code. I paste it in, but when I press the button to receive the token, it crashes my OBS like every single time... does anyone know how to fix this?

[quiet bramble]

Not sure about Tuna, but some plugins appear to need to be updated or rebuilt for OBS 27.x. You could check the crash log to see if there are clues.

[swift cliff]

https://obsproject.com/logs/6pMfz84hWP3lNOOr
I actually did that, but didn't see anything related to Tuna... Also I had it working before on OBS 27.x, but after the reinstall it didn't seem to work anymore.

Like everything works fine, but it crashes as soon as I let Tuna create a token for the Spotify authentication

[weak escarp]

the crash is in the text source, so it looks like Tuna sets some illegal/corrupt data on the text source

[swift cliff]

Hmm I wonder what that could be, since I don't think it's doing anything yet with a text source?

It's this window where I need to login to Spotify first. I didn't set any parameters for the artist/song title stuff just yet

[mortal harbor]

Does anyone here use the plug-in called Stream FX ?

[wary escarp]

[oblique yew]

If you are looking for more information or support for the StreamFX plugin, please visit the forum resource page.

[mortal harbor]

Yeah I’ve tried everything on the forum including making sure I have the correct version of OBS and it still isn’t showing up

A current log file is required to help fix your issue. Please post a link to your current log file.

• In OBS select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.
• Click Copy URL and then paste the link here.

@mortal harbor Be sure to read the entire Installation Guide on the StreamFX Wiki carefully, and be sure to ensure you're using the right version of StreamFX which is compatible with the version of OBS you're using, and that you're not using the alpha release but a stable release.

Also, make sure you do not have more than one installation of OBS on your system or it may get installed to the incorrect OBS installation which seems to be a very common problem people are hitting.

[mortal harbor]

Honestly at this point it seems like more hassle than it’s worth but I will definitely check and thank you for your help! Always appreciated.

[quiet bramble]

Basically installing StreamFX is as simple as having one OBS installation on the computer, downloading and running the EXE file installer of StreamFX of the correct stable version for the OBS version being used, restarting OBS if it was runnign. Done.

[rough egret]

does anyone know how to put spotify on obs

[quiet bramble]

If there are any problems, it is almost always multiple OBS installations and the one that gets installed to is not the one the person is actually using. There's almost never a good reason to have multiple installations of OBS.

[rough egret]

please DM as i am cant promote so that says it 😛

[warm oriole]

Is there any plugins that are around that are able to display a timer based on what time is left on media source which is playing?
this would be so i could monitor how long is left on a video so i know when to switch scenes easier..

[untold jay]

@warm oriole is the source toolbar not enough? it shows playback progress

[dark sapphire]

I was getting that too, I don't get a crash log though

So I'm personally stuck

[amber iron]

Something I'm working on (not sure this is the right place 🤷):

Using OBS Shaderfilter + Blender + Math to position OBS sources in 3D space along any mesh

For example, this laptop and phone screen: https://i.imgur.com/qTmSmyE.gifv
Which looks like this in Blender: https://i.imgur.com/Ou1ZRfr.jpeg

Or this, showing that the screen can be curved: https://i.imgur.com/I09eYzq.gifv
And in Blender: https://i.imgur.com/xw2wny2.png

[floral stratus]

Are there some filter plugins similar to ShaderFilter plugins? I'd like to have something similar for linux. Thanks.

[ancient robin]

Hi there, I’m not sure if this question should go here or in #macos-support so sorry if I’m in the wrong space!

I had obs.live downloaded on my Mac first for the streamelements custom bot. I just downloaded obs studio because i wasn’t able to find the custom dock browsers under View in obs.live. Now i have obs and obs.live downloaded on my Mac as 2 separate applications. I tried reaching out to streamelements support but they said they couldn’t help and directed me to this server.

Is there a way that i can like import the streamelements plug-in so i can have the custom bot and SE tab, AND the custom dock browsers but only in 1 obs?

[analog ruin]

very cool 😮

[ancient robin]

I just tried reading thru previous messages re: obs.live and looks like y’all don’t think it’s a good plug in haha 😅 i really wanted to keep the custom chat bot 😔

[next lagoon]

anyone knows anyway that song request add to spotify queue

[vapid charm]

If there's anything doing that they're doing it quietly as the only things that I've known to have that feature got told by spotify to stop for legal reasons.

[quiet bramble]

For your first example, using a corner pin filter/shader would be much easier for mapping the texture onto an arbitrary quadrilateral. For your second example it would require manually tesselating the source into multiple sources and corner pinning each of them, or using a highly customized shader if the destination shape can be expressed mathematically. 3D Transform from StreamFX can be used but it will be rather frustrating to try to position things in 3D space using sliders as it's really not the best kind of tool for the job per se.

Another option is to write a separate application using Unreal engine or similar to render the scene and embed the video using spout or NDI between OBS.

[quiet bramble]

In general the OBS.Live plugin is not supported on this server because it overrides some of the functionality that is built into OBS with a known broken replacement that causes people various problems (namely their Browser Source) which are unique to people using OBS.Live. Just about anything that can be done with OBS.Live can be done in OBS without OBS.Live, with a small amount of effort and that also eliminates the known issues that OBS.Live causes so most people will recommend not using OBS.Live around here.

[fierce spade]

@ancient robin You don't need to use their plugin, just create a Custom Browser Dock, set the URL to "https://yoink.streamelements.com/activity-feed" and you're done!
That'll give you a dock that works in exactly the same way as theirs does, and allows the custom bot name to work, etc

[amber iron]

What I meant to saw was that I already have it working with a shader I wrote 😁

Blender spits out these two images: https://i.imgur.com/iz0MElD.png
https://i.imgur.com/1n3pOVF.png

which are used to map the UV space from the screen to the perspective of the render

Aaand u might remember me from https://github.com/Oncorporation/obs-shaderfilter/pull/6

[feral oasis]

Is there a way for gameplay not to pop into frame so suddenly like seen here?
I know there is an option for fade in & out effects in sources, but this is the actual detection of a game which is looking a little janky.

[vale vine]

Have another source below it, that can be full screen, and use a hotkey to show/hide game capture, which will then let you do a per source show/hide transition

When the game capture sinks its hook, it's an all or nothing moment

[feral oasis]

I thought of that too, and it did work when I tried it

But I plan to have quite a few games on my obs, and that would duplicate the amount of buttons i need to press in order to switch to them, then also show/hide the game

[vale vine]

Not if you use the hotkey mode for game capture source. Then you only need a single game capture source

!hotkeymode

[oblique yew]

Game capture sources allow you to use a hotkey mode to capture the currently active window, allowing you to use one game capture source for all of your games and even allowing you to switch games easily. To activate this mode:

1. Open the game capture source's properties. (You can do this by double clicking on the source in the sources list)
2. Change the game capture's Mode to "Capture foreground window with hotkey"
3. In Settings > Hotkeys, set up a hotkey for "Capture foreground window".

[vale vine]

If a game works with game capture to begin with, hotkey mode is a simple clean solution for reducing scenes/sources

And honestly I'd put maybe a full screen image or media source ABOVE the game capture with the same hotkey to show/hide both game capture source and that placeholder, so they can swap pretty easily

And obviously less buttons pressed too

[quiet bramble]

Ah, yeah your name seemed familiar to me but I couldn't quite place it. 🙂

[ancient robin]

Thank you so much!!!!!

No worries, anything to help rid the world of OBS.live and slobs

[harsh topaz]

My man.

[fierce spade]

Serious question, what does the OBS.live plugin do, apart from adding the activity feed, and breaking other shit?

[vale vine]

Prettier stuff, direct integration with browser source and their overlays

The "meda request" thing which is basically a no no anyways due to dmca

Mostly useless crap at the sake of breaking obs

[fierce spade]

ahhh, okay. Personally never used any of that stuff, only needed the activity feed for the custom bot name. I was on their macOS beta program, used it like twice and went.. nah

And don't get me started on slobs

[ancient robin]

yeaaa i did like the media request until i kept getting parts of my vods muted lol

[harsh topaz]

cough split audio feeds cough no music on VoD cough

[mortal harbor]

so im trying to login into spotify with the tuna plugin and whenever i request the token obs closes

[fierce spade]

If you wanted to do media share again, you can use the twitch VOD track option in settings, and just make sure that the media share audio doesn’t go out on that track

[ancient robin]

[gaunt zealot]

You're looking for #windows-support.

Your issue is that you're trying to use NVENC on a GPU variant that doesn't have NVENC. Some of those 940MX GPUs are GM108-based, so don't physically have NVENC. The entire "MX" line of GPUs doesn't have NVENC. You need either a GTX or RTX GPU for NVENC, even on mobile.

That is very helpful... Thank you

[harsh topaz]

Your question was very vague, so will the answer be...

[bright imp]

I'm going to follow up on the question to ask where can I find after it was installed? Because I installed it and I don't see it in tools

[harsh topaz]

What did you install @bright imp ?

[bright imp]

obs websocket

[harsh topaz]

C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit is the default installation folder.

If you didn't download OBS as portable or move it to another directory.

If using an installer, websocket most likely tried to install to there.

Look for these files in that folder.

[bright imp]

all is there

[harsh topaz]

OBS > Tools > Websocket is there?

[bright imp]

nope

[harsh topaz]

You sure you're opening the same OBS as the one you installed it in?

As in, does the icon you're clicking on to open OBS go to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\ ?

[bright imp]

wait

[bright imp]

I think the auto installer installed in program files x86

[harsh topaz]

Ah, so look in the 86 folder and see if your NDI is there.

You might have multiple OBS, and open one and install plugged in other 😛

[bright imp]

websocket is in program files x86 but not in program files

should I just copy it?

[harsh topaz]

Do you have an OBS folder in both paths?

Both C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit & C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit?

[bright imp]

yup

[harsh topaz]

Okay, make sure the OBS you're opening is the one that has NDI - or move the plugin to the other folder.

Either one will work.

I'd probably uninstall one - I don't see a reason to have OBS in both 86 and regular.

I honestly don't even know why some people have OBS on x86, mine has never installed there. I have dealt with others setup while trying to tech support them - where it was also installed in x86 and I don't know why.. maybe DWK knows?

[bright imp]

welp, that's a start, a scary one, but it's a start

[boreal hearth]

looks like you're missing the language files

[harsh topaz]

You have to have it in both obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit & obs-studio\data\obs-plugins

[bright imp]

yup

[harsh topaz]

There's specific files for the plugin. One is a folder, the other is .dll and .pdb file

[bright imp]

I copy and pasted the entire folder

[harsh topaz]

\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit needs to have

obs-studio\data\obs-plugins needs to have

I'm using the plugin for Multiple platform stream by SoraYuki, but I'm not able to stream, and gets the Notice.GetEncoder on my screen. Please help

[inland briar]

Hello everyone, lately I've been thinking about finding a solution for multistreaming. First of all, I'm interested in whether it is possible to control audio sources/tracks. For example, on Twitch I listen to DMCA music, which is then removed from VOD, but this does not work in the case of restream. I would like to remove the audio source with music on YouTube, but save audio on Twitch. Perhaps someone has already done something similar. I came across an interesting article that unfortunately does not touch on the topic of audio sources/tracks ... https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-studio-stream-to-multiple-platforms-or-channels-at-once.932/

[rugged solstice]

I would like these features for my stream using OBS studio:

Time counter, to count how long I've been playing a game. Needs to be paused with a hotkey and edited.

Counter for number of times I've died. Hotkey needed.

Could I get help with that please?

[harsh topaz]

It's bad news for me and not controlling my mic.

I've said a few bad words during a stand by screen with global audio

[harsh topaz]

Hah, websocket and scripts to do multiple actions such as changing scenes and muting 😉

[vale vine]

Eh, scripts and whatnot still sounds like more effort than input/output sources or nested audio scenes

[harsh topaz]

It's really not 😐

It's a plugin that I've had 0 issues with, combined with a 5 sec script and a 5-10 sec button on a streamdeck

I assume you use some sort of input device.

Reminds me Matt - can you fix OBS breaking when unloading and loading a lot of scenes simultaneously?

Each time I forget to switch to a clean scene I have to restart OBS and I get sad

[wary escarp]

Does it get stuck or straight up crash?

[harsh topaz]

It hangs.

Indefinitely :p

[wary escarp]

that makes things kinda difficult to debug I think

[harsh topaz]

I mean, 150~ scenes with sources in em.

Unloading them works. Loading them works. Unloading and loading. nono.

[wary escarp]

oooof

[harsh topaz]

Probably just the process of loading/unloading however its done efficiency wise didn't take me into consideration. So rude

@vale vine The only disadvantage really of it is that for something like "on/off" state, Streamdeck is a little annoying with non direct scene changes.

So you'd have to do a multi action switch button, to set a "on scene" "not on scene" state.

And when you press multi action switches, it gives an annoying green triangle.

The fact they still haven't given us Action Switch in Streamdeck, but add stupid things like stores and icons

Instead of fixing functionality and bugs. So many things breaking in Streamdeck every week I lose track

If I open OBS and change profile in streamdeck, it'll automatically try and change scene collection. Now, you know what happens when you change scene collections in OBS and OBS crashes on it - right?

That's right! Insta crash

Give me opensource streamdeck plugin so I can have someone remove the auto scene change

Actually it probably is..

HOLD UP!

Isn't all plugins required to be opensource

https://github.com/elgatosf/streamdeck-obs-plugin

Okay. Scribbles down notes

[vale vine]

Touch Portal is far more flexible than stream deck

The level of detail on what you can program a button to do seamlessly is rather impressive

[harsh topaz]

Aight, so make the script - open it with a touchportal button and viola

Scene change into a mute, everytime guaranteed

Hello i m french and i have a question about the ndi plug-in: Is that it really relieves the gaming pc because I feel like I’m still encoding and I’m using a network too for the rainbow 6 game that requires a lot of my graphics card

Sorry if i made mistakes

[peak vector]

NDI is not resource free

it's an encoded video stream that needs encoding and decoding and a lot of bandwidth between the computers

[proud plinth]

What is the interest ? It is not to do double work what is the advantage of the process?

[peak vector]

The advantage is the cost-saving. You don't need to buy a capture card

[harsh topaz]

Is there any stress on your PC when using capture card?

I don't know the technicalities of outputting hdmi + whatever else youre outputting

[peak vector]

On the "sending" side, no

[harsh topaz]

How does that even work - if I'm using 1 DP out, or 4 DP out - it's the same amount of strain on the GPU?

[peak vector]

GPUs typically need 1-2W per connected display to drive the output chip and having the additional rendering load

but that's general load, not really game relevant

[harsh topaz]

So there is load happening on the GPU when adding additional outputs?

[peak vector]

Yes

I mean the card still needs to convert a image signal, it's not done for "free"

[harsh topaz]

Then I wonder if there's a larger load on the GPU having to output 4 144hz DP and a 60hz HDMI.

iirc different hz outputs from GPUs sometimes don't play well. Wonder if that's a load increase too.

[peak vector]

That's an issue with Windows, not the GPU

[patent hamlet]

I found a plugin like Instant Replay XT that takes replays and auto replays them. It doesn't seem to work.

If I use OBS instant replay it has to overwrite a file. Means I have to use the same format everytime I record.

[stark narwhal]

If you name your replay buffer without any variables obs should overwrite the file

[patent hamlet]

It does it for the original non-replay file also

I don't stream much. I record locally and such

I guess I could just do is add it in davinci

Apparently, it doesn't overwrite it if it isn't replay

[stark narwhal]

There is an option in advanced settings for overwriting

[patent hamlet]

I got it to work somewhat. Now if I can get it to play the video while added as a scene

I guess my next question after seeing that is if you can have this enabled/disabled depending on what scene you are on?

[vivid sapphire]

no

[feral oasis]

That’s a shame, thank you so much for showing me this though I had no idea it existed

I’ll definitely be using it

Now I think about it, all I need to do is make another audio source with the same propoties as my music, call it something different then have the effect on that instead

Great, found out a way of doing it, thanks again for your help 💯

[rugged solstice]

I've not tried scripts with obs before

I think I have the right python folder set

Not sure if it needs a reboot

[rugged solstice]

Never mind I had a newer python version

[lapis dust]

Does Source Record Plugin not work with the latest version of OBS?

[dark sapphire]

it does, though it's not fully compatible with nvenc apparently

[lapis dust]

Cuz it doesn't seem to be recording at all with NVENC

And I heard that nvenc(new) is not fixed yet

should I revert back to 26.1.1?

[dark sapphire]

the version of OBS shouldn't matter, but double check that you have the latest version of the plugin

[lapis dust]

2.0?

[dark sapphire]

yeah looks like 0.2.0 is the latest

[lapis dust]

yes i have the latest one

Tried everything I could but doesn't seem to be working!

[lapis dust]

Okay, I tried the version 26.1.1 and source record seems to be working fine on that version! But with 27.0.1, it won't work. Dunno why though!

[vocal owl]

what plugins should i get

[quiet bramble]

Whatever ones do things that you want to be able to do I guess.

[gentle sluice]

I'm trying to add a user defined shader to a source and I don't see the option to do it anymore

Tried right clicking on the source and also going to add, nothing comes up... did obs do away with user defined shaders?

[analog ruin]

they never had them 🤔 Must be a plugin like shaderfilter or streamFX

[quiet bramble]

"User Defined Shader" is the filter provided by OBS Shaderfilter plugin

[gentle sluice]

Perhaps I downloaded it wrong...

i have the download and there are several folders. I thought that what I had to do was take the contents from the obs plugins folder and put it in the obs folder in my c: drive

[analog ruin]

is there no installer for shaderfilter?

hmm, guess not. Yeah, inside your obs-studio folder. Try drag both of the folders into the same folder where you find the same names as in the zip file

[quiet bramble]

Sadly not, it's just drag-files-to-correct-place since release. Probably wouldn't be much work for someone to borrow a copy of the StreamFX installer configs and make one for Shaderfilter or any number of other plugins though. I know Exeldro did that for his various plugins which was pretty cool. 🙂 If nobody beats me to it, I might take a stab at it at some non-committal time in the future though. 🙂

[reef zinc]

Can anyone tell me if this dev is in this server ?

[mortal harbor]

does tuna not save your spoitfy login info or do i have to sign in everytime

[harsh topaz]

Think tuna is having issues atm

Probably something to do with v27

It's supposed to remember your api settings and such, but mine also logged out and I seen chatter about it not working properly.

[mortal harbor]

i also have to put in new tracks into audio monitor all the time

[harsh topaz]

Have you updated recently? Looking here https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/tuna.843/ it got a few updates after v27

[mortal harbor]

yes i did

it alleasts lets me sign in now lol

[harsh topaz]

Might be something worth mentioning if you can't find a solution to it, either on their Github https://github.com/univrsal/tuna/issues or in the discussion https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/tuna.109353/ 🙂

[mortal harbor]

do you know anything about the audio monitor plugin by chance?

i use it to send audio sources from obs into a virtual cable into a mic input in zoom and it never saves my trac outputs. i have to make track 2 and three show then set them to vb audio cable b and then it works fine but it never saves those either

[remote pelican]

Failover rtmp Docker image and restreaming https://github.com/eduardunix/failoverrtmp

[haughty stag]

is there a plugins, tools or a settings to color a "Scene" or make a folder of Scenes except the Scene Collection?

[quiet bramble]

It's not clear and unambiguous what you mean by "color a scene" or the rest of the sentence either, please explain what you want to do in much more clear detail and we might be able to suggest something.

[smoky jacinth]

I heard a well-known streamer say that he could vary the delay of the Stream at any time without turning off the Stream. How can that be configured? I want to do the same as him, put a delay in the games, but when I'm talking in other types of scenes there is 0 delay

[vivid sapphire]

If they do that, they are using some sort of third-party solution

That is not possible to do in OBS

[haughty stag]

You can set a color for "Sources" right? can you also set a color for "Scenes"

[smoky jacinth]

it is not known with what it can be done?

[vivid sapphire]

I can't think of any easy solutions at least

[smoky jacinth]

okay thanks

[wary escarp]

put a delay on the sources maybe via a filter?

[vivid sapphire]

that sounds like a bad solution

[inner marsh]

you could use a second instance and change that source delay so its only one delay https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-share-video-and-audio-between-two-or-more-obs-studio-instances.1248/

[quiet bramble]

@haughty stag If you mean the color of the text in the sources/scenes panes in the OBS user interface, there is no official way to set the color of the text for scenes however it is a requested feature. It might be possible to embed custom CSS in the scene name to fake it however, but that is not something I'd recommend as it is somewhat complex and potentially confusing. It works with sources and might work with scenes also but I'm not certain of it.

[quiet bramble]

At least with currently available filters that would be a terrible idea as for example Render Delay consumes GPU memory to store the delayed frames, so the longer the delay the more GPU memory it gobbles. To delay by say 15-30s would use up a significant amount of GPU memory very wastefully, almost certainly nerfing any modern GPU someone might use for gaming.

Not sure of any specific solutions out there that people might be using, but I imagine it is a matter of streaming from OBS to an intermediate RTMP server or similar and having it set up to buffer some number of seconds of video to disk before restreaming it to the remote streaming service (Twitch etc.)

I think Twitch might have an option on their end to delay your stream broadcast by some amount but not certain of it.

[smoky jacinth]

I'll keep an eye on it later, this sounds like something to me that he mentioned

The only thing I know is that said streamer uses a kind of program and that apart from that he needs a good pc for the issue of playing / transmitting / and "dynamic delay"

[magic chasm]

Hey Guys, using the search i cant really find anything Like im looking for so Im trying it here.

Im looking for a Plugin or some Tool that can Plot Data, to make a Graph or something, which I can Show live on Stream.

The reason im searching this is because Im trying to build a similar subathon timer as the one Ludwig used, where He Had a Rocket with a little Graph showing the curves of the Timer.

Thanks for any answer!

[quiet bramble]

You'd likely have to use a custom solution written in javascript in a browser source for something like that.

[vale vine]

Yea, if Ludwig pays mods, I guarantee he has creatives on the payroll for that stuff

[torpid turtle]

hi

[magic chasm]

Yeah I guess U Guys are probably right...

[magic chasm]

If I may ask, where would you start when you wanted to create a script for a browser source?
So far all I have done was with tools like kruiz etc

[mortal harbor]

?!?!?!?!?!

how do i fix

but is not a problem

[river chasm]

It my seem idiot but once I built the source code of obs-studio, how do I make/run it to open obs ?

migth*

[white dune]

your idea doesn't have a run command?

[river chasm]

Well by just typing run it does not work, should I make a makefile ?

I just did : git clone --recursive https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git

And then built it (Im on mac Os)

[peak vector]

follow the build instructions for macOS, it produces an app bundle

[river chasm]

okay

Hi all! I am new to the forum and doing some charity work for live streaming services.

I want to be able to start and stop a stream. I want a daily schedule of live stream between certain hours. I’m not sure how to do this via screen switching as described in advanced scene switcher.

The stream should start and stop daily at certain times.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[amber iron]

Here is my first release of what I'm calling RGB To UV: https://github.com/rmanky/RGB_To_UV/releases/tag/v0.1

Here are the two current example scenes:

And here's the next scene I'm working on https://i.imgur.com/PwBuAji.gif

I'll try and explain the provided *.blend file further in the future, but am going away for the week so it'll be a while.

The source code is in that repo ^. Please forgive my C, I'm a web dev.

[river chasm]

Hey I just downloaded the plugin template repository and I'm wondering witch are the steps to build it on macos, can't find it in the readme...

[wary escarp]

I do it like this:

1. Xcode build from OBS is needed, or you’d need to alter the path to point to your libobs build

If the obs-studio and the plug-in folder are in the same directory:
2) In the plugin/xcode-Directory (create that first if needed):

export OBS_DIR=$PWD/../../obs-studio
export QTDIR=$(brew --prefix)/opt/qt
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt5/

cmake -DLIBOBS_INCLUDE_DIR:STRING=$OBS_DIR/libobs -DLIBOBS_LIB:STRING=$OBS_DIR/build/libobs/Debug/libobs.dylib -DOBS_FRONTEND_LIB:STRING=$OBS_DIR/build/UI/obs-frontend-api/Debug/libobs-frontend-api.dylib -DQTDIR:STRING=$QTDIR -G Xcode ..

This generates an Xcode project for the plug-in

@river chasm

(Build it with ALL_BUILD)

[river chasm]

Okay, thank you @wary escarp !

[white dune]

you don't add sources to any scene while building the program.

that happens once you actually run the program

[oblique yew]

OBS will not be developed for ChromeOS. The operating system has too many limits in place that prevent OBS from being able to do what it needs to do, and more often than not, Chromebook hardware is too weak to render and encode live video. The Linux Beta for ChromeOS does not change this.

[bleak kayak]

hi everyone. the obs-virtual-camera cant work on the macOS?

[analog ruin]

!macvirtualcam @bleak kayak

[oblique yew]

@bleak kayak

Windows: OBS v26 and above contains a basic virtual camera. For advanced usage, such as preview or specific scene/source output, try the third party plugin.

macOS: OBS v26.1 and above contains a standard virtual camera. Having issues with specific programs? Check this guide.

Linux: OBS v26.1 and above contains a standard virtual camera. v4l2loopback is required, best installed via the v4l2loopback-dkms package.

[bleak kayak]

yes, i install the OBS-studio from the obs website. but when I want use it for Discord. cant work.

[analog ruin]

did you click the link? 🙂

there are specific steps for discord. Probably good to follow that first. If you need further assistance I'm sure the people in #macos-support would be way more helpful than I am

[bleak kayak]

@analog ruin yes

i did

but still not working..

[analog ruin]

I would suggest asking in #macos-support. I'm not knowledgeable enough on mac to be of any help, sorry 😅

[bleak kayak]

ok, thanks

[trim valley]

hello everyone i have zoom live trrak l - 12 mixer and one youtube video says that have to put obs asio driver and then obs shows my mixer from drop down list . Is there someone who really knows how to do this because I am not heheh

[jaunty hemlock]

I have a question related to the NDI plugin. What section of OBS governs the NDI output (Resolution/FPS/Audio Channels/etc)?

[tough mesa]

hi folks.. would anyone here happen to know how to install the StreamFX plugin to a portable version of OBS?

[untold jay]

@jaunty hemlock only resolution and fps

@tough mesa not currently supported, you'll have to install to a non-portable, then copy the folder into your portable install

[tough mesa]

what i tried was copying the portable to normal install location, then installing streamfx, then copying obs back to external location. but that didn't seem to work. if i do it the way you suggest would it not overwrite anything important? or would it just merge

[untold jay]

if you installed obs-studio more than once, the installer can get confused, try uninstalling and reinstalling obs-studio

[tough mesa]

also my reason for doing this was ive been getting random crashes since obs 27, which i was told was in relation to a capture source, and previously told a plugin not compatible with 27, i eliminated 1 device, so my conclusion is it might be source mirror on my main cam capture causing issues. so im hoping the update might fix it

[untold jay]

latest streamfx requires v27

[tough mesa]

ok so hopefully if it is source mirror thatll fix the issue?!

[untold jay]

i dunno

[tough mesa]

no problem, appreciate the help, ill try the updated streamfx and see. thank you for your time

hello, does anyone know how to recover incomplete recording from OBS?

[vale vine]

Step 1)don't record to mp4.
Step 2)refer back to step 1

[vivid gate]

is it possible to recover in mp4?

[vale vine]

If the recording didn't finalize, nope.

!mp4

[oblique yew]

Record to FLV or MKV. If you record to MP4 and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable. If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window.
