I setup and followed the tutorial for source record from here - https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-record.1285/ because I wanted to record my gamplay seperately. The guide shows how to do it but if you look at the video at 7:45, he records all other sources but didn't notice. I set up elgato as the only source to record but it recorded everything.

How can I do this after I crop my image? like I have my camera cropped in OBS because I don't want it to show all of what the camera sees. Applying the rounded bottom works, but only if I "un-crop" the image

@rapid ice reset transform (ctrl+R), then add a "crop/pad" filter to crop

I am looking for a way to show a source based on the activity of another source. I have a browser source to display notifications. When notification is displayed it shows some text and plays music. Is there a way like in Advanced Scene Switcher where I can set up scene change based on source audio level but for sources? What I want to achieve. The notification comes from an external service. The source shows nothing until the message arrives and when it happens I'd like to enable another source to enhance the notification message (simply put I want to play background video behind the notification). Is there a way to achieve it? Maybe there is a way to detect that the notification source is not empty when a message is shown and then somehow enable another source?

@cinder wren audio would be difficult, but for video, you can link the alpha of two sources together using a streamFX dynamic mask, so when a webpage shows something, another source could also become opaque, and turn transparent again when webpage becomes fully transparent too

#

i hope this explanation makes sense, but if it doesn't, let me know and i'll try again

I know what you mean, quite clever but not enough for me. Actually what is gonna be displayed on the second source is less important to me. What I really need is the second source to be switched on as I need to set up an event in touch portal and thats the only way I can detect that notification from the browser source (in touch portal I can detect visibility change of second source) 🙂 Yeah, kinda messy flow but haven't found another way. To summary it up. When I get notification in some way which I havent found so far, I'd like the second source to became visible to detect this visibility change from touch portal event 🙂

Hi, I've been trying to just go through and mimic the image-slideshow source to just get to know the tidbits of making a source. I successfully built OBS from source from the wiki, and CMake worked just fine. I'm also using the obs-plugintemplate for this project. I didn't have any problems setting up the project with CMake, though when I try to use pthread_mutex_init, visual studio fails with Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol pthread_mutex_init referenced in function pthread_mutex_init_value

I saw through searching through the discord that someone else was able to resolve it by setting PTHREAD_LIB to the w32-pthreads.lib file, though I'm still running into this issue.

has anyone had issues with the OBS Color Monitor plugin adding the Vectorscope as a Dock item automatically, then re-adding itself again + the previous one, every time you change scene collections or load the app?

It got to the point where I had 40 listed in my Docks menu. Went into my Scene JSON file and sure enough, there was a ton of them I had to delete by hand

just started after updating to the latest version of OBS

@analog ruin keep in mind that Installers dont always work, depending on how they determine the installed OBS directory. Some ask the user where the directory is located, others make assumptions based on registry keys. And ive noticed obs-live had a tendency to take over the obs-studio registry keys

@wary escarp @hollow stirrup thanks. Im kicking myself for not checking that first. The plugin was 0.0.2 versions behind, and the update specifically fixed that problem.

Is there an updated walkthrough on installing the multiple RTMP plugin for OBS studio? Every one I have seen shows an older version of the plug-in, which creates problems when trying to do it step by step

disagree a little bit 🙂

  1. installers use the path to OBS that the OBS installers itself writes to the windows registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OBS Studio
    There are a few reasons this key may be incorrect tho, which does mess with installers. So what you're saying is kind of valid. I believe that when this path in incorrect, then there is a larger issue with the OBS install itself, not the fault of the plugin.
  2. Installers dont always show the path:
    They do in 99% of cases in my experience. The times when it does not show up, is when the plugin is already installed. It dosent make a lot of sense to change the install path when you update for instance.

Question (hoping this is the right place to ask it): is it possible to alter the source format when implementing an asynchronous filter at all, e.g. filter consuming YUV2, but outputting RGBA? I’m working on a plug-in based on https://github.com/PeterL1n/RobustVideoMatting, which would ideally use OBS’ native alpha rather than outputting frames with a merged green background which than has to still run through a chroma filter.
The alternative is obviously to go synchronous, render the original frame onto a staging surface no process the alpha matte trough the Graphics API instead. However, that’s significantly more complex to implement, so I’d like to avoid that if at all possible. #development

Another idea in my mind is having two filters; an async filter that takes frame, process something, and sends to the other filer, the second filter is a sync-filter that receives the data and overwrite alpha channel.

cyan peak
#

I am concerned about adding something like that that to the main repository, because I would not want people to become dependent upon that functionality after they discover it

#

but I'm not entirely decided on it either

#

I'm not entirely sure what to do about that situation

#

ideally, it would be nice if people had a path to parse each color format as that would be the most optimal, but it's not really realistic, and some apis that people use don't support that

#

as such, async video filters have really limited usage at the moment because of the color format issue

#

which is why I'm still sort of undecided about the whole RGBA thing

#

if I were to add it, it would mean significant cpu usage increase for sources that use it. if I don't add it, async video filters don't have much use. there's not really an ideal option

#

the filter I was trying to do once was even worse. it added an extra round trip on the gpu because of the API I was using, and I couldn't just use it as a shader. so it'd convert YUV to RGBA -> upload to GPU -> do some compute processing -> download from GPU -> upload to GPU again (obs graphics device), and then finally draw it

#

it was just insane, I got disappointed and upset and I just scrapped the whole thing

#

imagine if these async video filters end up doing compute processing like that

hollow stirrup
#

Some image processing only requires Y channel. If that's the case, IMO, it's easier to take from the async-frame because the data is already there.

Your face tracker is a beautiful piece of code (that’s from a hobbyist developer’s perspective as - embarrassment alert - I haven’t been able to figure it out as a user 😳🙈😅). Certainly demonstrates the better (if not ‘right’) way to do this in more than one way. I think I’ll ultimately end up going doing that route. However - as I haven’t had much time to study libobs core code - I’m not clear about said performance considerations…

final rivet
# hollow stirrup > The alternative is obviously to go synchronous It's not so difficult but could...

…my understanding is that in the asynchronous case, the frame data will already be in VRAM by the time the filter sees it. So doing anything with it on CPU (as you do with the dlib face detection/ tracking) means a download to RAM? Same does for using the stage surface, which - if I read the docs right - is also just a fancy wrapper around a VRAM->RAM transfer. For ‘my’ use case, CPU processing of the matting model is not a real option, this has to happen on GPU. Hence, if per above I’m right that the frame data will ‘live’ in VRAM already for the purposes of either flavour of filter, I’m wondering if there’s an ‘official’/ non-hacky way of getting a pointer to that data? @cyan peak

# hollow stirrup anyway, the virtual background is the feature a lot of people are waiting. I hop...

I think what I’ll try and do is start with a very simple implementation of a virtual green screen based on async so people can start using (and this testing) this. Along the lines of https://github.com/royshil/obs-backgroundremoval (which I reckon you’re referring to), but with a float-based alpha matte that gets merged backed into the original frame format. Start with Windows and CUDA and then take it from there…

hollow stirrup
#

For ‘my’ use case, CPU processing of the matting model is not a real option, this has to happen on GPU.
If I understand correctly, some capture source directly transfers GPU's data of another application into OBS. Since it's just opposite direction, that code might help.

the problem is not so much about denying anyone a choice, it's more about opening up a larger can of worms that we can't unopen. I admit that async video filters have limited use in their current state, but the concern from my part is that once the option is added for a filter to tell an asynchronous source to return RGBA data, we're probably going to see a lot more plugins utilizing that, which is significantly non-optimal. like I said originally, it's a rock and a hard place, it's not an easy choice to make

cyan peak
#

unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying

#

but again, on the RBGA conversion issue, that's something I'm still on the fence about. I'm definitely not saying I won't add the option or something. if I recall correctly it wasn't too difficult to add

#

I'm probably leaning toward adding it, because I'm trying to think of how often it might be used, and it probably (hopefully) wouldn't be used too often outside of these sort of niche cases

#

it's just a significant amount of cpu usage, especially if the async source is fairly large

#

converting between YUV and RGB is always a very unpleasant process

#

it's why I try to keep that conversion operation on the GPU

#

I guess my hope is that if I added, that it would stay fairly niche use case on the user's end rather than become a really popular thing that every user is applying a filter for

#

besides, it can only really be applied to media sources and video capture device sources, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal

#

ah screw it, I guess I can add it 🙂

#

problem is I can't seem to find that code anywhere, guess I'll have to remake it

Good day to all. I will be very grateful for any advice on how to solve my problem. The crux of the problem: to protect myself from streamsnipers, I need to obscure the game map when I press and hold a certain button. it would seem that everything is simple, you just need to put the hotkey in obs. but the problem is that the game and OBS are installed on different PCs and the broadcast is carried out through the video capture card. if anyone has a solution I will be very grateful.

Is there a helper for working out if a source (e.g., a filter) is visible within a scene (e.g. The current preview scene). For my plugin I can easily tell if the filter is active in program via obs_source_info.{activate,deactivate}, but I don't see an easy way to do the same for preview.

#

I looked at obs_scene_find_source_recursive(obs_scene_t *scene, const char *name), but filter names aren't unique

#

I suppose I could use obs_filter_get_parent() and then check if the parent is active.

hollow stirrup
#

Do you want to test the filter source is in just preview, regardless of projector or program?

#

In that case, you need to get preview source by obs_frontend_get_current_preview_scene, then iterate it by with obs_source_enum_active_sources.

#

If just want to test the source is shown in at least one of displays (preview, program, projector), just call obs_source_showing for the parent.

One more question please: if I made sure that an async filter sits directly on top of a source (i.e. the parent is OBS_SOURCE_TYPE_INPUT), is it possible to avoid to avoid a RAM-VRAM-RAM-VRAM round trip of the frame data? As in: the frame just staying in RAM until it’s passed back by the .filter_video function. Hope that makes sense. Cheers!

Hi, I'm trying to write an OBS source plugin which is supposed to do simple 3d rendering (a 3d cube would be a good start) as an "overlay" type of thing. I have intermediate experience with OpenGL, but I really don't understand how the OBS graphics library (I assume all the gs_ functions) works. Is there some type of documentation available which explains which of the functions to use?

hollow stirrup
raven hinge
#

I've seen this already, but from what I understand it's mostly a list of functions/definitions and not so much of an overview.

hollow stirrup
#

Earlier sections in that document has some overview but I’m not sure it’s sufficient for you.

raven hinge
#

A couple of random questions in my head: Do I have to write my own shaders? Are there some type of predefined shaders which I can utilize on higher level?

#

I read something about HLSL, but isn't that Windows only?

hollow stirrup
#

There are some pre-defined shaders. The shader works for every platforms; Windows, macOS, and Linux.

#

OBS Studio will convert the shader to that for OpenGL.

raven hinge
#

Okay, do I read correctly that an "effect" is basically a pair of vertex and pixel/fragment hsader?

hollow stirrup
#

Yes, "effect" in OBS is a pair of vertex shader and pixel shader. Sometimes, an "effect" file can contain multiple shaders.

raven hinge
#

The obs_source_info has a function video_render which from what I understand does all the main rendering. Why does it have such an gs_effect_t * as parameter? How does the code from the outside know what shader to use?

#

Or am I misunderstanding something?

hollow stirrup
#

If you set OBS_SOURCE_CUSTOM_DRAW into output_flags, the effect parameter is NULL. So, you have more freedom to implement your rendering code.
If you don't set that flag, effect parameter is given to video_render callback.

raven hinge
#

Oh, thanks, good to know.

#

Yeah, I think I'm gonna read through that graphics stuff a bit and come back once I'm running into a wall again.

Hello! Looking for a solution for live communication between an OBS operator and a camera operator, to indicate when that camera is ready to go live, or needs to cut away.

Like: Camera operator is currently streaming live back to OBS, but needs to make a move > presses a physical button > something lights up in OBS > OBS op knows to cut away now.

If there's an industry term for this sort of setup — or perhaps something similar involving red/green lights? maybe not OBS-integrated? — I'm not sure how to refer to it. But would love an OBS solution if one exists.

hard jay
#

In production, you typically have a multiview and a producer that's watching all the views and directing cuts, camera operators don't get involved there.

unborn juniper
#

Sure, we just happen to be in an environment where we can't do audio comms, and the camera op needs agency.

hard jay
#

There's nothing specific to OBS that would allow for that

#

YOu can maybe set up some kind of simple web page or something that people can connect to with a phone to read/unready their camera?

unborn juniper
#

Right, so no generic "receive signal from outside source and react" kind of plugin eh? I've seen a few app-controller things, but yeah the camera op can't be whipping out a phone to do this.

hard jay
#

Well, there's obs-websocket

#

but that's just an interface, it doesn't do any of the logic.

#

You'd have to write your own web page or script or whatever that does what you want it to do.

unborn juniper
#

Yeah that's... at the bottom of my list, but might be where I end up 🙂

hard jay
#

You're deep, deep in to "this is an issue specific to my situation" territory.

unborn juniper
#

Fair!

hard jay
#

My suggestion: Go as low-tech as possible.

#

If everything is somewhat closeby and it doesn't need to get sent over the internet, for example, look up like some kind of wireless light switch

#

battery powered or whatever

unborn juniper
#

Right now the camera op is raising their hand to indicate an upcoming move, but this causes instability in their current shot; is why I'm looking at something else. Yeah, a remote light would definitely work. Tough to google for.

#

Thanks though! Will keep poking at this.

quiet bramble
#

Sounds like something that could be put on a web page, loaded into a browser panel dock for the OBS operator to see the current status and act.

in real productions, you have a IFB between the director and the camera operators

Hello, here. I discovered that the fade-transition is just a shader file that it is right there, somewhere in the compiled OBS. So, I modified it and I get a new "Addition Dissolve" transition, just as Adobe Premiere has. It works very well... but, to do that, I modified the fade_transition.effect file.

How should I make a new transition that uses a new file... without making a whole new plugin?

quiet bramble
#

You also get shader filters and shader sources support.

deep current
#

Thanks for your suggestion, but when I installed StreamFX some time ago, it didn't work. Maybe it needs nVidia, and I don't have it. Also, as I said, I'm not interested in creating or installing a new plugin. I wanted to know if I could have a new transition without recompiling OBS.

quiet bramble
#

You didn't install it correctly likely. It does not require Nvidia, and it does work. 🙂

deep current
#

For shader filters, I use ShaderFilter Plus.

quiet bramble
#

The only way that I'm aware of to have custom shader based transitions is to use the Shader Transition feature of StreamFX, or write a custom plugin from scratch which essentially reimplements that functionality, or modify OBS and recompile it.

deep current
#

Ok.

quiet bramble
#

I've written over 300 shaders for StreamFX and OBS Shaderfilter to date, and ported about 200 more from Shadertoy website to one or the other (or both) plugins. Have used all 3 StreamFX shader options (filters, sources, transitions) and have used them on both AMD and Nvidia hardware (Radeon HD7850, Nvidia GTX 1050 mobile). Each of the plugins has it's own set of unique features and they have a huge overlap for filters, so I use both of them depending on which features I need for a given effect etc.

#

To be clear, I mention that only as a testimonial that it works, not to toot my own horn or anything. 🙂

#

One problem that I'm aware of, is if one is using Mac or Linux, HLSL shaders will get auto converted to GLSL and however that's automatically managed by OBS it does not always generate working results. So if using Mac/Linux YMMV. Generally if a problem like that occurs the shader just needs modification to run on all platforms. Personally I've never encountered it as I write for HLSL/Windows and don't care if it works on non-Windows 🙂

#

Anything I can do to solve it (like logs or directly reporting it as a bug), just tell me and I'll do it.

quiet bramble
#

Ok, so I've set up a test in OBS using what I can see from your screenshots of your settings:

unknown.png
#

Since it appears to be working for me there has to be some difference between our setups. There are likely a number of possibilities.

  • I'm running OBS 26.1.1 on Windows 10 with StreamFX 0.10.0. You might also be using a different version of OBS and/or StreamFX. There have been changes to how color is represented in OBS since the release that I am using, so it is possible there could be some kind of bad interaction with the alpha channel going on due to that. Would require testing with same version of OBS/SFX that you're using though.
  • Another possibility is if you're on Linux, that the way the HLSL shader gets converted to GLSL on Linux could be introducing an anomaly. I can't easily test that in Linux, but might be able to test it by forcing OBS to use OpenGL on Windows.
  • Could be some other obscure issue specific to how your system differs from mine to try to figure out.
#

So I seem to have reproduced the problem using OpenGL in Windows. There are a few possibilities here but I'm assuming that the conversion from HLSL to GLSL by OBS is not producing code that has the same results as the original HLSL code intends.

lament nymph
#

is this shader hosted online somewhere? I'd wager that this is a GL_TEXTURE_BORDER_COLOR issue if the shader is reading outside of the texture bounds & using diff in texture vals to determine the 'edge' of an image

quiet bramble
#

Someone would have to debug that to pinpoint it, but if I'm correct the best solution would be improving the HLSL->GLSL conversion that is occurring, to generate more accurate results. I'm not sure if that is code in OBS written by the project itself or some tool being utilized that doesn't always generate the desired results. Someone more knowledgeable about how that happens in OBS would have to comment on that.

The other possibility is to create a workaround within the SDF filter that takes into account this problem and tries to work around it with different code that gets translated into GLSL better. If this is the case I would not consider it a bug in the filter, but rather a problem in OBS that the filter might be able to be reworked to work around the problem. I'm not sure if this is an already known issue or not but that'd be my next course of action is checking out the OBS bug tracking tool and the StreamFX bug tracker to see if anyone has reported a similar issue.

quiet bramble
lament nymph
quiet bramble
#

You'd have to dig through the source to find it, not sure as I haven't looked at the sources of those FX

lament nymph
#

if this is the right code, it looks like this shader could try to sample the sdf texture with a coordinate outside of a [0,1] range

#

maybe I'll look at it later, I gave up compiling StreamFX for macOS last time I tried due to it's endless dependencies

quiet bramble
#

Looks like there are 2 versions of the code there, using different sampler types

lament nymph
quiet bramble
#

PS_SDFGenerator_v1 & PS_SDFGenerator_v1_1

quiet bramble
lament nymph
#

ah right

#

but yeah, either:

  • bounds check the result of v_in.uv + dt, and skip the sdf sample if it's out of bounds
  • or investigate why the border mode for the d3d backend is set differently to gl
#

i imagine the d3d example is set to clamp, wrap, or mirror

quiet bramble
#

I've modified it to use the v1 rather than v1_1 and the problem appears to have went away.

#

However I've introduced another problem breaking the effect LOL

#

@deep current Ok, so I can't be certain whether this is to be considered a bug in the OBS HLSL->GLSL translation layer, or a bug in the filter itself, but I presume the most likely way it might be resolved is if the filter gets modified in such a manner that it generates results that look the same on HLSL and GLSL after conversion. At this point I would recommend filing a bug report in the StreamFX github issue tracker for it, being sure to supply all the information requested in the bug tracker (logs, proper bug title etc.). If you do file an issue there and send me the link, I'll add some additional comments to the report based on my findings in Windows under OpenGL.

#

It's probably something that Xaymar can tweak slightly I imagine. I know he's adjusted some of the other filters and shaders over time based on OpenGL related problem reports.

#

It does have me wondering how many of my own shaders will break when converted to OpenGL though. 🙂 Not enough to test them and find out, or adjust them, but just academically speaking. hehe

Sometimes I can restart and change themes and it will go away. Not easily reproducible.

There are some errors there

is that an fftw3 error?

Looks like the plugin is dependent on a library that is not installed on your system.

I have no idea how to fix that tho. Reinstalled FFTW, reinstalled the pacakge, no results

the file it mentions is there in the folder

#

Maybe a Mac M1 issue?

quiet bramble
#

I'm not familiar with Macs specifically so can't advise for that per se. I know M1 Mac support is not fully there yet in OBS, but someone mentioned today in #dev that it might be in the next release IIRC. Mind you, it will likely require plugin authors to make Mac/M1 versions of their plugins unless OBS is able to mix and match somehow using some special Apple sauce.

That'd be super helpful. I'm trying to get something to switch on a specific time or frame of a video.

It's because I have an animation I'm playing, but I want part of it to loop until I tell it to play the end portion.

And don't want it to switch scenes on the wrong frame.

Is conditional scene switching something advanced scene switcher can do?

# deep current (here is the right one)

Ah, neat! I notice there is a thin line in between the glow and the natural white border of your original image. That may be desired or otherwise not a problem per se, however if it is undesired, the cause of it is that those pixels are partially transparent and thus being considered "opaque" by the SDF effect which I believe is looking only for fully transparent pixels. If you want to eliminate that, you could edit the image in GIMP or whatever, select pixels with alpha channel non-zero, then force all of them to have an alpha of 100%, export the image. That will get rid of the partial transparency and the thin invisible line in between the image and the glow.

#

Another way would be doing it in OBS with a shader that does: Pseudocode: if(alpha > 0.0) alpha = 1.0 essentially.

#

or if one wanted to get fancy... having a user configurable threshold, and testing alpha against the threshold instead of 0.

#

Then giving the shader a technically smart sounding name like "alpha-binarization.shader" or "alpha-thresholding.shader" even though it is only 2 lines of code. 🙂

Both nutty and eposvox on YT have resources available for either method

You can have 5000 of them if you like. 🙂

Add existing source to scene as many times as you like, each has it's own transform etc.

I would like to know if there is a way to do it in windows or an alternative to this plugin, thank you.

I would make a copy of the image, have 1-bit alpha as you mention, then apply a glow effect to that, save the result to a new file to use in OBS.

SDF is not a cheap effect, it can have heavy GPU usage.

#

It's ok, they are just tests. I don't need this image.

quiet bramble
#

Same thing with using blurs, shadows, etc. Anything that can be done in pre-production is better than doing it live in OBS.

It's fun to set things up in OBS to get a prototype going and optimize it later though.

Have you done a test recording or tried monitoring your mic in OBS? You won't be able to hear VST effects on your mic with the usual settings, you will need to either 1) go to the Advanced Audio Properties in OBS and change "Audio Monitoring" for your mic to something other than "Monitor Off", or 2) make a test recording. If you change your monitoring settings, be sure to change them back afterwards.

mortal harbor
#

ohh ok wait i'll try that

#

ok i tried recording and it worked when i listend to it

my problem is that i want to hear it live on my microphone

whole karma
#

I guess if you have applied the filter to each mic, then you need to remove the filters from the mics you don't want reverb on

#

or remove the mics from the aux 2-4 slots in the audio settings by choosing "disabled", if you don't want them at all.

ohhhhhh

ok ok it's fixed now, thanku so much!

#

No, that is not what signed distance field effect does. It creates an effect based on where the edges are within a transparent image. An edge being where a pixel with alpha = 0 touches a pixel of alpha != 0.

#

If you want something to glow from behind, you'd have to put something underneath it that does that, which would get alpha blended through its partially transparent pixels, or some other kind of effect.

#

For a fixed image, it is a waste of GPU resources to do this in OBS, and it can be very potentially very costly. SDF, blur, glow type effects are very heavy on the GPU for this. It will always be better to do this kind of effect in image editing software. The only time to do it in OBS is if either the source itself changes its shape over time, or the effect is based on the color of the pixels in the image (not the alpha channel), and the colors change over time (video/animation instead of a still image), or the source is a fully moving image such as a chroma keyed webcam with someone moving around. All of these deal with dynamically moving/changing content over time and so can not be precalculated. So you'd have to do them in realtime and there will be GPU cost of the shader running depending on the complexity of the effect.

#

The other time to do it as a shader/live effect is if the effect itself animates, but that could also be done via an animated PNG or WebM or similar on pre-rendered effect if the effect's colors aren't dependent on a live video source.

#

If I wanted to have a live animated effect like this, I would probably not use SDF. I'd probably make a duplicate of the source using Source Mirror, apply a Dual-Filter or Box Linear blur to the duplicate, hide this duplicate so it is not visible, then add an animated glowing texture to the scene under the main image/source, apply Dynamic Mask filter to that using the hidden blurred source as input, setting the alpha settings on the Dynamic Mask to use the alpha channel as a stencil to carve out of the animated glowing texture.

#

You end up with an animated glowing texture that is slightly larger than the image on top, sticking out underneath it.

#

While blur is an expensive effect itself, dual-filter or box linear with a small blur size is not terribly expensive. If it was however you could use the scale filter to scale down the texture first, apply the blur, then scale it back up to reduce GPU usage.

#

The Dynamic Mask filter has almost no noticeable runtime cost on the GPU, it's basically free. So this type of solution while more complicated to set up, produces a great result at almost no GPU cost, and it works with a moving changing source and an animated texture.

#

There's also no time delay lag on its operation compared to SDF.

#

All of this is unnecessary complexity if the source is just a fixed image, and the effect is a fixed non-animated effect though, like a non-animated glow.

#

I created an effect like this which creates an animated halo of smoke around a green screened subject a year or so ago which should be searchable in Discord in the channel. I think I called it "Smoky Shia"

#

While it is smoke made from perlin noise in that FX, it could be some other fixed or animated effect being stenciled.

#

Since the foreground subject is on top of the rest, OBS will alpha blend any partially transparent pixels in it.

it used to work during the summer and then there was an update and it just stopped working. i’ve tried using the stream deck native hotkey button and also the bar raider obs tools hotkey button, no luck on either.

Hey all!
I'm getting an issue with OBS when I attempt to use the StreamFX plugin to get support for HEVC encoding for recordings (whilst keeping Replay Buffer enable).

#

@ruby musk im not so sure your GPU is able to use the settings you've chosen :\

ruby musk
#

Oh dear.

#

What've I chosen?

analog ruin
#

I believe on your chip you need to disable the following:

  • b-frames (or at least b-frames as reference)
  • reference frames
  • temporal AQ
ruby musk
#

Would I set those to 0 or -1?

analog ruin
#

0 I would say. -1 might just auto select to on (1), and it wont work

#

its probably named "reference mode: middle" -> change to no/none/0 whatever

#

and Adaptive quant / temporal AQ -> 0/no/disabled something

#

and yes, that is very confusing, and extremely un-intuitive, and you're very much on your own. They dont hold your hand very much 😅

#

also, did you think I read this from the nvidia docs? Hell no, its not in there. While 10series does have HEVC, you're missing a bunch of features 😊

#

(I apologize, I have a slight emoji addiction)

@ruby musk that looks right to me. The only other hunch I have is that reference frames might be too high

#

Same thing

oh wait. Do we not have adaptive I-frames? Lookahead shouldnt cause to much issues from what I know. I was still thinking of refrence frames in my mind

#

I guess I've never tested that

ruby musk
#

Hmmm, anything else I should go about trying?

analog ruin
#

no 😦 not that I can think of

#

I've never tried it on linux, but if I mimic your settings on a pascal card, it works for me on windows.

#

nvenc works in general, right? Like if you use the stock encoder that comes with OBS?

#

im not very well versed in so far as OBS goes on linux (never even tried to open it on linux), but encoder wise, this should be ok.
If you wouldnt mind uploading a new log, just as a quick sanity check maybe

ruby musk
#

Yeah, NVENC H.264 works fine and is what I've been using so far (but 265 though...)

oblique yewBOT
analog ruin
#

@ruby musk probably fine. I'm a bit confused about the rate control chosen. Im just assuming that vbr_2pass (your log), is the same as "vbr_hq"

#

tier: high I believe should be fine, but maybe you could try setting it back to main/default

ruby musk
ruby musk
#

As it's saying Invalid argument is there a way to see what the command is that it's sending to ffmpeg?

analog ruin
#

no, there isnt. All you can go by is what is in the log, which is what I assume is correct. Do you know if h264 works via streamFX?

#

Im thinking along the lines of it not being able to automagically detect the right GPU. If h264 does not work (you should have full feature set there), then we would know that its not realting to the HEVC settings

ruby musk
#

Hmmm, bit of a weird thing on the side as I'm trying ffmpeg in cli atm to see if there's a problem there and I'm using this command:
ffmpeg -y -v info -f x11grab -draw_mouse 1 -r 60 -s 2560x1440 -thread_queue_size 4096 -i :0.0+0,0 -f alsa -acodec aac -strict -2 -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -af aresample=async=1 -c:v libx265 -preset fast -x265-params profile=main:level=3.1:crf=21 -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 60 -g 60 -tune zerolatency -f mp4 capture.mp4
And this sticks out

unknown.png
#

However, if I remove -x265-params profile=main:level=3.1:crf=21 it works?

#

This is on the CPU though.

analog ruin
#

yeah, I dont think you should do that. I would specify it has profile:v main outside of x265 params. Let ffmpeg deal with that

#

also, I dont think this is related to the issues you're having

ruby musk
#

Hmm, okay.

#

I'll ignore that for now then.

analog ruin
#

did you try nvenc h264 via streamFX? does it work?

ruby musk
analog ruin
#

you shouldnt need to. All that tells me is that I dont think streamFX is correctly managing to communicate with nvenc. -1 means auto GPU selection. Have you tried manually selecting the correct GPU?

#

not sure how you would go about that on manjaro, but yeah blobsweats probably just 0 or 1

#

assuming you dont have multiple GPUs

#

at this point im out of my depth on both OS and StreamFX. The settings you have should work for HEVC tho. You'll have an easier time getting support for managing to get h264 working, and once it does, I would just expect the settings we've gone thru on HEVC to work. Not sure if #linux-support could help, or perhaps try the StreamFX discord itself @ruby musk

green oriole
#

i was able to hastily put something together

#

i found a script called "Stopwatch" and added it as a dock through the plugin "Source Dock". I set up the hotkeys for "start stopwatch" to be the same as "stop recording", so they start at the same time. When I activate my pause hotkey, it'll pause both at the same time, but when I unpause, OBS lags behind the Stopwatch for a second. So every time I pause, it gets a second behind.

It makes images flicker (check the horizontal bars on the left) and entire screen momentarily black (for a frame or two).

It goes away when setting Transition to None.

Below is a quick example of said issue. I don't expect you to spend time on it, seeing as it's somehow related to the size of ones scene transition - it is a shame however - and I thought I'd make you aware of the issue.

First half of the video is with Fade, second half is with None - You can see the difference on the middle camera frame.

is there a plugin that allows me to use a spreadsheet of data that transfers into an OBS Text Source?

#

I need a Plugin that would allow me to do something that allows me to either type data into a spreadsheet and have it change my text source automatically or a plugin or something that allows me to press a hotkey to add / subtract a text source.

I need this for a scoreboard purpose, so I don't have to edit the source of the text or have multiple text sources of one number, but I can't seem to really find a solution on Youtube / Google

mainly for scoreboard purposes

#

such as Ice Hockey has shots on goal, goals, blocked shots, and other whacky stats. Although in reality I just need goals and shots on goal (which is a total of 4 text sources since its 1 for each team)

#

the issue with the way it is right now in my setup is for goals, I have an individual text source for each goal and I use my stream deck to change the activated source, but for shots on goal it's more tricky cause I actually have to type to change it, even though I know I've seen some streamers find a way to just press a button to count up without buying a $200 scoreboard program with preset graphic setups I don't want

#

Probably would be much easier to use something like DCSB (Deathcounter and Soundboard. You can make multiple counters that auto update individual text files for each counter.

fast fjord
#

thing is I can't really find a counter online, at least one from a trustable source for OBS

#

especially one that can seem to do multiple counters in some way that isn't annoying

high gale
#

Gotta love when the autocorrect goes nuts.

fast fjord
#

so what limitations are there to it necessarily?

#

cause what I need is 4 counters (minimum), and the ability to change any one of them within the press of a button or buttons

high gale
#

Far as I know you can make 100 counters. Make a new counter, point it to a text file, select the row you want, click the plus sign increment up 1.

#

You can also manually enter the value you want by right clicking, choosing edit, and typing in the value.

#

I think I found a video on that same program

high gale
#

Yeah, that's it.

fast fjord
#

I did find a video for it, so maybe I'll check it out. But someone commented a day ago saying apparently the program can minimize your game when you change it or something.
Did you ever have this issue?

high gale
#

Might be if they used the hotkeys and it not running as admin. I never ran into that myself.

#

I used it while playing Sea of Thieves fullscreen without issue.

fast fjord
#

sigh... I know this is something that can probably be done very easily but it's just something not everyone is focused on having 😭

#

I somehow found an automatic Lower Thirds plugin before I found a tally plugin :/

high gale
#

Well, more people do presentations and even sermons than scorecounting with OBS.

#

I think DCSB will actually do the job for you quite well. It a no frills application, but it will provide you with the text sources you need without a complicated setup process.

fast fjord
#

true, I might give it a shot

#

I guess the last thing I need to really know is whether or not you can do multiple hotkeys

high gale
#

These are the hotkey options.

Next / Previous?

high gale
#

Goes to the next counter or previous counter

fast fjord
#

well at least I can switch between with the press of a button which isn't bad actually

high gale
#

Since they're just listed in rows in the application.

#

Yep.

#

Hm, with your streamdeck you could probably set the hotkeys to be any of the F13-24 keys

#

Eliminate any overlap with keys you actually use.

fast fjord
#

that's what I planned to do but of course with the ability to just do all of them at any time

#

which is probably the best case scenario for myself, but this isn't a bad backup option if it has no bugs

#

I'll check it out probably tomorrow, but for now I'm gonna head to bed, but I appreciate you helping me out. Not a lot of people really want to help me out or ever use something that isn't as used as a feature like this, but I appreciate you helping me @high gale

I used it for displaying my own score counting of ships sunk and deaths so it's not that far off from what you're doing.

anyone know of a plugin that handles texas hold 'em?

#

basically to overlay graphics showing what the different players are holding.. and also the status of the community cards..

#

we're building a table with rfid readers to track the different cards

Could there be potential issue with caching too many transitions? @weak escarp

#

Or is the memory usage neglectable?

weak escarp
#

most of your sources don't need the fade, maybe only set the fade on the sources that need it using the move transition override filter

Hello, does anyone have suggestions of potential voice changer plug-ins I can use? I am testing VST 2.x and I found that when I tried singing it was slow to catch on

thick gale
#

Does anyone know of a plugin that I could set up so when I activate it, it would switch between specific scenes ones it detects audio input from a specific sound source past a certain threshhold?

Basically I'm looking to have a stream with multiple people, and have it switch to their scene when it detects them talking

@thick gale You'd have to create a custom solution for something like that likely. If your DAW has an ability to trigger a MIDI note/event based on a the audio level of a given track via scripting or something, you could use that to have it send a MIDI event to OBS via a MIDI plugin, and trigger an action in OBS via websockets.

#

It's probably possible to do this in Reaper, however I'm not familiar enough with that advanced stuff in Reaper yet, but I'm almost certain it is likely doable.

#

Reaper is a monster 🙂

If you use ReaPitch and use one of the pitch shift algorithms that have formant control, and tweak the pitch and the formant you can probably get that to happen. 🙂

#

The formant is what makes it sound more like a real voice than like the chipmunks. 🙂
