Anyone try and use the OBS stream deck app for android? I installed the app but it wont connect. Any ideas?

#

Did you install the obs-websockets plugin? Most external remote control tools require it

Elgato Stream Deck app for mobile, most likely

Looks like connectivity issues are a reoccurring theme in the reviews

#

IMO there are better options

If you'd like to control OBS Studio remotely, you have a few options.

To control from the web on any device (including phones and computers), use OBS Tablet Remote (requires obs-websocket).

If you'd prefer a mobile app that works like the Elgato Streamdeck, you can try Touch Portal, UP Deck, or Deckboard.

hey guys i have a question about the discord streamkit

wet valley
#

i have a bug in my chat overlay that makes some of the usernames appear like this **[object, object] **
sorry if this question was asked before but i tried looking in the chat and couldn't find anything

unknown.png
#

can someone help me

vivid sapphire
#

that means that whatever is printing the username is actually printing an object instead of a string representation

Or you can download and use Lioranboard to not just do what other streaming decks do but a hell of a lot more besides.

vale vine
#

Lioranboard is good but a not so user friendly UI

#

Touch Portal has a lot of the same functionality with better ease of use imo

#

And streamer.bot is pretty good too

humble hemlock
#

Now i thought that in the beginning but I have gotten used to it and setting it up is easier. I use it with Streamer.bot.

vale vine
#

Yea, I've heard if you can conquer the learning curve it's really good

wet valley
#

all ?

humble hemlock
#

@wet valley I just use a chat overlay from Streamelements that runs across the bottom of the stream.

wet valley
#

discord chat right ?

humble hemlock
#

With a scrolling text bar at the top with important information for the viewers. No. Not Discord chat. (no one talks in there so not worth putting up) But my twitch chat.

wet valley
#

that's my issue

#

i host events on discord and i record them i want in the recording to be the chat and the actual people who get on stage

humble hemlock
#

Why? You have a discord overlay built into discord that shows overlays the game that your viewers can see anyway.

wet valley
humble hemlock
#

So, separately to your games then?

#

Have you tried Discord Streamkit overlay?

nope, thank you i'm downloading it right now and will give it a shot

humble hemlock
#

If you want your Twitch chat to be relayed to discord and vise versa then yes, there is a Lioranboard plugin for that.

wet valley
#

thank you austin for keepin up with me

you're awesome

It's no problem. I seem to be doing more trouble shooting than streaming these days. Especially this time of year. Just come back from a banding engagement with the Salvation Army so just settling down before I decide what to do next. Lol.

Hi there I have a problem on OBS studio, my twitch activity doesn't show, I refreshed it and logged in and out of my twitch and reinstalled it but still nothings changed

vivid sapphire

I've made a program in Java which counts how often I'm clicking. Currently I'm saving the number to a file and displaying the text from the file in OBS using the Text widget thing and read from file. It's not optimal.
Is there a way to display it in a better way? Can the same thing be made as an OBS plugin/script?

yes, the documentation as examples on how to change a source's properties, so you can write new text for any text source

#

oh, and if you're going to be updating a text source 60 times a second, i'd recommend using freetype2 text sources instead of gdi, as those will use less CPU to update

proper kindle
#

Yes, but never made or seen one before xD

strong tulip
#

You portion off a tiny amount of RAM to use as a storage device, meaning you never write to your hard drive. You just use an app to do it.

proper kindle
#

Yeah

untold jay
#

(also, i was hoping to find a good APM counter and/or a clicks counter that is open-source, i hope something like this happens some day)

proper kindle
#

That's kinda what im making. What makes it good tho?

untold jay
#

there's already "desktop apm", but it doesn't offer any visual customization, updates the APM counter only about 2 times per second, and eats too much CPU

proper kindle
#

Ah. Mine is probably gonna be worse XD

untold jay
#

i would say it's "better than nothing" but it almost isn't

Whats holding you back from making one yourself tho? You seem competent

@untold jay is it possible to add OBS integrations in the Multi-RTMP plugin? Like the auto twitch server selector or the new YouTube event selector, etc.

untold jay

@steel walrus you can still use service integration with the "start streaming" button normally, but for any additional services after the first, you only get a basic RTMP output, no extra features

I use the multi rtmp plugin for all my streams and have YouTube as my primary service (due to the integration for chat and stream key)

But Twitch is experimenting with multiple RTMP servers in my country so I don't know which one performs when. Which is why i thought it would be a good idea if the auto server selector could be a part of the Multi-RTMP Plugin. Other than that, the plugin is perfect and amazing. Really can't see what else can be added to it. It's perfect

Hello. Its me. I was wondering after all these tries you would like to help. To go over my issue. They say that debug-ducks are supposed to fix compiler errors, but they haven't done much fixing.
So my issue is with the Java OBS websocket library https://github.com/obs-websocket-community-projects/obs-websocket-java
My code, sorry for big copy pasta, is this:

public static void main(String[] args) {

        OBSRemoteController controller = new OBSRemoteController("ws://localhost:4444", false, "patklask");

        if (controller.isFailed()) { // Awaits response from OBS
            // Here you can handle a failed connection request
            System.out.println("Failed to connect to OBS websocket!");
            System.exit(0);
        }
        // Now you can start making requests

        controller.getSourcesList(resp -> {
            if(resp == null) {
                System.out.println("Response is null, rip");
                return;
            }
            // This check is null
            if(resp.getSources() == null) {
                System.out.println("Sources list is null, welp");
                return;
            }
            for(Source source : resp.getSources()) {
                System.out.println("Source: " + source.getType() + " > " + source.getName());
            }
        });

    }```
And i get null on my sources list, even tho i have plenty sources

#

What could be the issue?

#

It does connect. I do get the "Connected successfully" message

For some reason my authentication failed? I used the correct password so idk what went wrong, but removing the need for authentication fixed it. Yes, i know thats not optimal, but im the only person on my LAN so i think its alright

IS there a way (Or plug-in) That I can use to make nested source groups? (aka, put a group within a group, similar to a PC's file system)

I use a large series of character sprites for different occasions (Each is another series of sources)-- I'd like to be able to group them in some way for easier location- And to clean up my sources window

unknown.png
#

ie a "Sprites" group wich holds all of the shown groups, wich then hold their own sources?

vale vine
#

I think the grouping of groups is a no go due to some sort of redundancy or something along those lines. However there is a bounty for better organizational setup. I forget if it's in progress or nearly done.

#

Is there an easy way to test/hear audio plugins? As far as I know, the effects applied are only heard by viewers. I can record video clips & listen back to the audio but this will be very tedious.

vale vine
#

Maybe the audio monitor plugin? But it may be pre filter.

#

If that's the case, you might want the music edition for as I think it allows monitoring of master mix

#

@vale vine oof, lots of bad reviews for instability but I'll check it out, I can remove it later.

Is it possible to make a plugin that adds a command to the context menu that shows up when you right click a source or scene? Please ping me for answers, I'm off to bed. Thanks.

untold jay
#

@regal breach i think that's a no, or at least i don't know of any plugins that have been able to do that

strong tulip
#

I reckon the context menu's a bit busy as it is without plugins adding stuff to it 😄

inner marsh
strong tulip
#

Well, for a cheaper (but still not free) solution, there's Sound Siphon. Basically the same thing, much much cheaper.

#

When it comes to free solutions, there's really only these two:

#

!macaudio

oblique yewBOT
proper kindle
#

What I've done with my audio is default all audio to "Random device 1" and sort out some audio to "Random device 2". Then i use Voicemeeter to merge Random device 1&2 into my headset, and then i can pick what audio goes into OBS by not having my headset as a source, but only the random devices which i send audio to

#

Something similar to that. My own setup confuses me, so i hope it never breaks

strong tulip
#

Yep, and practically the same thing :-)

#

Mac streaming isn't that hard, really. It's just that 99% of the resources you find out there are Windows-related. But once you figure it out, you don't need to figure anything out again :D

untold jay
#

you bought it, and then bought a bunch of adapters, it makes a lot of sense to them, as they get a lot of money from you

strong tulip
#

What bunch of adapters? You need one multi-port hub if anything. The MacBook Airs lack ports because it's supposed to be portable; the MacBook Pro has all the ports; the Mac mini and iMac also have all the ports

untold jay
#

laptops can be portable and have a bunch of ports, look at nearly any laptop not made by apple

strong tulip
#

USB-C to USB-A

#

That's what these are for

#

or similar. My husband has a different brand one, but same diff.

#

But again, this is more of a #tech-talk discussion. Let's move it there.

#

(or drop it, either is fine — it's just off-topic for this channel, that's all)

#

Good evening, I bought Streamlabs pro which allows multistream. I was interested in putting multi chat on OBS. I want to avoid using streamlabs. How can I put the multi chat on obs (that of streamlabs pro)? A thousand thanks

strong tulip
#

I believe Streamelements has multi-service chat box

#

Otherwise there's restream chat — you don't need to actually stream with Restream to use it, just to connect whatever accounts

inland stream
hard jay
#

I would wager that from a technical standpoint, it's possible, but I have no idea if they let you do it or not.

#

We don't typically get involved with their offerings.

strong tulip
#

I mean, I can't see why you'd pay for a premium service just to avoid using the software that the service expects/requires. 🤷‍♂️

#

(unless it's to avoid SLOBS' CPU usage or so on — when people say they don't want to use Streamlabs, I assume they mean the entire suite of products including the online services)

# strong tulip I reckon the context menu's a bit busy as it is without plugins adding stuff to ...

While I do agree with that, I'm thinking of adding an "Add scene to other scenes" command and another that adds it only to scenes that don't have that scene yet (no idea what name I should give that one). Would make global scenes/nested scenes much more convenient. Without the ability to add a context menu item, alternatives don't seem to be appropriate, even though it is possible, like a video filter that doesn't do anything but adds a button or just watches the scenes or something.

strong tulip
#

What about a menu item and accompanying UI for that in the Tools menu? That's something that is currently possible for a plugin to do.

regal breach
#

Can you elaborate a little more?

strong tulip
#

On what

#

I'm not sure what to elaborate on without just repeating myself 😅

regal breach
#

Hmmm. Is the UI in tools menu gonna be similar to the UI in scripts? Like seeing properties defined

strong tulip
#

I mean, take a look at the UIs that plugins already make, like Websocket, NDI, etc.

#

StreamFX even makes its own menu

regal breach
#

Yeah I think I can see that

#

But kinda wondering how I should design the UI hahaha

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to split audio in OBS on Linux? I know there is a plugin on Windows that does wonders, but sadly it's not supported here on Linux. Does anyone know if it is possible here on Linux? I want to for example split my game audio and my mic audio and also have discord and music separated as well.

I am looking for universal#8427 for help with their input overlay plugin, since it's on their github page that I could be able to find them here, but I am not able to find them on the mention list
Are they here? The 5.0.0 isn't working for me

analog ruin
#

it does say pre/test release 😅 Are you sure you dont want to try the stable?

clever lagoon
#

I'm trying to update due to the way the plugin handles the input files

#

In older versions it handles them in .ini and are pretty cryptic, I've been 2 hours tweaking one to make one that meets my needs but all I got is wrong layouts and obs crashes

#

The new version handles them through a .json, more readable and also with an online tool that makes creating these overlays way easier and visual

they have some contact point on their site, but im not sure thats really where they want support/bug submissions

@boreal hearth

Hi, I'm having a bit of a trouble updating the input-overlay plugin from 4.7.4 to 5.0.0.
When I update, the input overlay option dissapears, as so do my overlays, as if the plugin wasn't present.
I hope I'm not taking much time from you by asking about this, I didn't find any issues page about this on the github page.
The reason I'm trying to update is to be able to more conveniently edit my presets to something that fits my needs, as the .ini files were pretty cryptic and trying to edit them only resulted in wrong layouts and my obs crashing.
Thanks in advance.
I'm using OBS 26.1.1, which I forgot to mention before

I don't think OBS is like a phone; it's good on it's own, you don't need anything extra because the base system has no user-facing features. Plugins generally only get used to solve specific problems when they actually arise, and even then, it's very rare.

!chatdocks

oblique yewBOT
#

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

dark sapphire
#

^ once logged in, past alerts are in View -> Docks -> Twitch Activity Feed

#

Ah you're logged in via Restream rather than Twitch

#

Add a "Custom Browser Dock" pointed to https://dashboard.twitch.tv/popout/stream-manager/activity-feed

#

that'll give you a dock of recent follows & stuff

strong tulip
#

And if you're using Restream, you can use their chat embed (go to the restream website to get it) to show multiple services' chat on your stream

dark sapphire
#

for alerts, you have to use an alert provider such as streamelements or rainmaker

Source Record. Recording multiple cameras saved to individual files. If you need to record multiple cameras and save each to a different file for later editing, look at the Source Record plugin. I use this on my iMac. It works. Its ability to start recording subject to multiple triggers, e.g. it records Always; or when you click Streaming; or Recording; or Streaming or Recording; or Virtual Camera is exceptionally useful.

Hello, I need a plugin to display the number of users online (RTMP)

fossil wyvern
versed pike
#

like a stream viewer

fossil wyvern
#

because you don't need a plugin for that, add a media source, unckeck the "local file"

versed pike
#

directly on my page

#

on my website

marble summit
versed pike
#

do yo have the ling to download it

marble summit
marble summit
versed pike
#

on my website

#

and usually those are browser source

versed pike
#

not on youtube and facebook

peak vector
#

OBS cannot help you here, this is something your streaming backend must provide

marble summit
#

then you might have to ask others, I am no expert in those stuff

versed pike
#

ok thx

fossil wyvern
#

can you describe what exactly you're trying to do?

#

you're streaming on a RTMP is what I get?

#

and you basically want the viewer count of the RTMP?

pulsar cape
#

Would anyone here know why my source record filter is recording all sources, not just the one its applied to?

peak vector
wise palm
#

Sounds like they trying to pull a video or livestream from their personal website, and embed into their live broadcast - I think there's something like "RTMP Pull" or something like that they can do easy enough to make that possible

fossil wyvern
versed pike
fossil wyvern
#

yeah, that's what I though

#

basically : that's complex.
The complexity doesn't come from integrating the count to your stream, but from actually getting a viewer count from your website

versed pike
fossil wyvern
#

yeah, I get what you mean

#

the problem is that, as far as I know, there is no cookie-cutter way to measure the number of viewers on any website

#

you'd have to actually code yourself a way for your website to measure how many viewers are on it (probably best way to use that would be using google analytics)

#

once you have that measure, it's quite easy to integrate it to your stream, best way would probably be through a browser source.

pulsar cape
# peak vector did you add the filter to a scene by accident?

I will have to double check when I get home for lunch, but shouldn't be. I have my scene called 1440p then in that scene i have 3 sources. Alerts, Webcam, and Main PC (capture card). I have the filter set up on Main PC to get just a non overlayed game footage but it still shows the webcam and alerts

I need help assigning a hotkey (I'm very new to OBS so sorry if this sounds like a dumb question

vale vine
#

Hotkey to do what?

#

If for turning on/off filters, you will need to install a script

#

For everything else it's pretty straightforward. Settings > hotkeys.

So I need to make a hotkey for toffling the "deactivate device when not showing" on and off and I don't see it anywhere in the hotkey tab under settings\

How do I make a photo as a background in a scene? I added a photo but it is overtop of my capture card source, been trying to drag it to be behind the capture card but it's always up front

hi I have a question regarding the new multi stream plug in?

fossil wyvern
#

ask the question, if someone can answer they will

last lodge
#

I've worked out how to set streaming to YT, Twitch & FB but it seems that the chat messages don't link up from all 3 of the platforms. was wondering if there's a way do within the plug in or in OBS itself?

vapid jolt
last lodge
vapid jolt
# last lodge yes exactly

Hahaha, you can use the OBS browser to open all these chat URL, or use view/Docks to do this, where the URL is copy from "Pop out" from these platforms.

#

Like this "Pop out" URL of Twitch, you can open it by OBS browser Source.

last lodge
#

Ah i get what you mean, but wouldn't doing that mean I'll have to show 3 different chat boxes on stream?

fossil wyvern
#

yes, but you can't have one unified chat box for three different platforms

#

at least not that I know of

last lodge
#

Streamlabs has it within their app haha so I was wondering if OBS has the same function or workaround

strong tulip
#

Plenty of platforms have unified chat boxes

#

I get mine through Botisimo, restream.io also has it, and I believe Streamelements also has it

last lodge
#

@strong tulip ok I'll check those out thank you!

vapid jolt
strong tulip
#

Why are y'all making it more complicated than it needs to be, multi-chat is a standard feature of overlay services

#

That or a chat relay, usually offered by the same service, then just capture one — it'll have messages from all 3 anyway

I have a question partially related to Exeldro's replay source plugin, in regard to a high-framerate buffer specifically on linux. I've had great results, on Windows, using the Video Capture Device with replay buffer source that is included with the plugin. I capture a 120fps feed with that source, allowing me to show a 50% speed replay that is true 60fps; that is the purpose of that source, after all. I am working on migrating my production environment to Linux, and this is one of the final pieces that I still need to figure out on linux. The aforementioned source is exclusive to Windows, as it uses Directshow. Does anyone know if there is an existing similar solution for linux?

To clarify, the replay source plugin itself does work in linux, but, I believe OBS ingests the v4l2 capture source at the streamed/recorded framerate rather than the source framerate, and if so, the plugin would not be suitable for my use-case. Perhaps I'm mistaken about this (hopefully).

Maybe there's interest in modifying the Video Capture Device with replay buffer source to use gstreamer so it can be platform-independent. Unfortunately, I will not be able to contribute to such a thing, if it's even possible.

#

@last lodge The best solution I've tried for combing chat into a single window is https://chat.aircast.app/ - If your intention is to show it in the stream, rather than just docking it for personal viewing, you'll want to use CSS to remove/hide all background elements

These other options are tricky for my level of knowledge.

Some friends here on the server had already helped me before, I was able to record a game in 4k for the first time.

I'm doing these tests to find out the limits of my hardware and software, I wanted to do a test with resolutions above 4k now, starting with the desktop, then I'll test it on some olds games that I can make it work at that resolution.

Who here is good with NDI and Windows?

regal breach

#

Ooh, cool. End goal is to get Zoom happening in OBS. Current attempt is using NDI for video from Win10 running Zoom and NDI, but NDI is just color bars. What setting am I missing?

regal breach
void bloom
#

Multiple. I am hoping to dedicate a separate Win10 box to a different interface (zoom/GoogleMeet, et al)

warped tinsel
#

#

wish i had it 😦

void bloom
regal breach
#

where's your input? NDI is like a cable where you have to feed something in one end, to receive it in the other end

warped tinsel
void bloom
#

Then I am already totally lost. That CPU is running using zoom with audio going through a USB interface (to wire into the audio console) and video is the participant(s)

#

I am good with real, physical copper cables, though

warped tinsel
#

lol

regal breach
#

does it also use OBS?

void bloom
#

No sir, just Zoom and NDI (was the plan) OBS is on a Mac.

Yeah, that’s where I break from it. I was going to use a separate box for each participant.

#

I wanted to just grab the screen, really, like I use the HX on the iOS and other Macs, which seem to work rather seamlessly

#

It’s how i get weather maps on my stream.

regal breach

can you link to the article you saw?

YouTube University UnderGraduate

regal breach

#

Does the Win10 version of NDI have a simple screen grab thing like NDI HX Capture?

#

I want to grab Win10 screens

regal breach
#

just capture the screen or window with OBS and enable ndi

#

!ndi

oblique yewBOT
regal breach
#

and on the receiving computer, add an NDI source

void bloom
#

Every machine would require OBS?

regal breach
# void bloom Every machine would require OBS?

depends on your setup really. You'd basically want to use it only for ones that will send data, and ones that will receive the data. Though for receiving data, you can also use other apps if you already have them.

void bloom
#

(4 of the Win10 boxes will be for Skype/Zoom/GoogleMeets, etc)

#

All 9 CPUs are on one network

regal breach
#

ah turns out NDI has a tool for screen capture on windows too

void bloom
regal breach
#

but it's pretty much the same as using OBS on the other pc, though I guess it could be less load

void bloom
#

That’s the part I can’t get to work. I am NOT a Win10 guy. (Mac and Linux are superior in so many ways)

regal breach
#

the upside of using OBS to throw data is that you can already crop and stuff to clean your feed before it gets received by others

void bloom
#

But, due to the apps, the support and the accounts I’m kind of stuck. Well, that and all they had were Win10 boxes when I stole it all.

regal breach
void bloom
#

Downloaded and installed.

regal breach
#

you literally stole them?

void bloom
#

Settings have me madder than a wet hen.

#

Yep. I am/was the engineer of a radio station. When the station lost the least on the transmitter, everyone else just dropped off the earth. So, i decided to pirate radio this thing and took ALL the gear home and plugged it in.

regal breach
#

ah okay

void bloom
#

Added some of my own high-end rock-n-roll equipment from my touring days and voîla! I have a radio station of sorts in my garage. Boss is still trying to negotiate some sort deal with me.

#

My role would be really as button-puncher (like my TD gig at NBC)

#

OBS would not be a participant in the meeting.

regal breach
#

In any case, after you've set up your NDI in the server PCs, you can just receive them on OBS by adding an NDI source

void bloom
#

That’s what I thought, but all I get are color bars in OBS

regal breach
#

well, did you already set up ndi in the server PCs

#

you have to turn it on

#

and use the app to capture the screen

void bloom
#

I think it is

regal breach
#

you sure it's running?

#

well in OBS, in the NDI source properties, change the source/address

#

try to find your ndi feed

void bloom
#

I found it in the drop-down list

#

So, the NDI is happening. The ScreenCapture app is running.

regal breach
#

so, we're good now?

void bloom
#

For now. Still not sure what the issue is as the result in OBS is colorbars

regal breach
#

You've selected the correct one in OBS already?

void bloom
#

I think so

regal breach
#

Then now you have to fix your firewall settings

void bloom
#

I think its the Win10 options I’m misunderstanding. On the mac side there’s 2 different apps, one for the camera and one for the screen. This seems to have both in one

#

It’s trying to mirror the webcam, not the screen

#

Well, this is really frustrating.

#

Uh, oh

#

I think I found the caveat: only one of the CPUs has a monitor attached.

glacial fiber
#

We've open sourced a neat little applet we created that triggers a hotkey when your mouse cursor moves between monitors. The intent behind creating this was to solve the problem of being a developer with multiple monitors and trying to stream... chat enjoys being along for the ride, so take them with you as you browse documentation on one screen, then return to write code in another. In the example gif, I have the keybinds trigger scene transitions in OBS. Not sure if anyone will find this useful, but I'll try to upload a video of how to fully set it up. Currently only supports Windows by default, but Mac users in the meantime can just run the .jar file in the releases section. Hope you find it useful brimeLove

# late shadow is obs completely free?

OBS Studio is completely, 100% free. You don't have to pay for it at all. It is a great, high quality program that excels at both streaming and recording. OBS Studio is guaranteed to be completely virus and malware free, as long as you download them from the official website at https://obsproject.com/download

Does the idea of a VS Code extension that switches to your overlay screen when opening sensitive files like .env, etc. based on a file list regex in the plugin config sound like something cool? When you close the sensitive file / change tabs, it would auto-swap back to the display capture screen...

#

Apologies for creating really niche plugins / tools, but as someone that is known as "leakn' geeken" I would personally find this useful lul

#

Could take it a step further and extend this same functionality to Chrome for websites like email, banks, etc. It would act as a "Streamer Mode" for your browser.

strong tulip
#

That would be cool, actually. But would it be able to happen quickly enough?

glacial fiber
#

I've actually never written a VSCode ext. before, but it's basically just NodeJS. I would assume it would depend on how fast the event triggers

#

The VSCode ext. would act more as a fail-safe

#

The Chrome ext. would very likely be able to switch the scene before the page loads

#

The Chrome ext. would also be more of a must have for every creator. May work on it first, and put the VSCode ext. 2nd.

#

The only sad part is that I will likely have to rely on the OBS Websockets plugin that most won't install. Every creator would be willing to click install on a chrome ext. But getting them to install an OBS Plugin would likely be like pulling teeth

#

I'll work on a proof of concept first, and maybe it will get popular enough to become a native feature within OBS

strong tulip
#

Like, it'd only really be useful if you can detect events for changing the tab, firing off the request to OBS, and delaying the tab change for a certain length of time

#

I don't know if that's possible in VSCode

In theory, would it be possible to create a script that acts like a 'record' button, that creates a temporary name for all recorded videos created.

Ex.

Unpressed: Recording works normal
Pressed: (a) creates a prompt asking for name of file (b) appends entered value from prompt to the end of the file (c) all files thereafter have the same appended file
Unpressed again: Returns to normal

Hello I am trying to do a little obs plugin, I am trying to convert speech from an audio source to text. Anyone already tried this ? I found https://github.com/ratwithacompiler/OBS-captions-plugin but it's to complicate I am a bit lost. I only need the text from a given source as a string. Using the google speech-to-text api if possible.
If I could already record like 10 second from a source and export this as .wav or mp3 and then send it to google manually would be great.

dire girder
#

hmm i don't know what the api supports but what i would do is:

vivid sapphire
#

It's worth noting that that plugin uses an undocumented API for speech to Text that's supposed to be reserved for Chrome, and using the official Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API will likely cost you money

dire girder
#

encode the live audio in opus as it's very light, send the live audio to the api, it returns text and you copy the text source for that

and also

add delay to counter the api latency

Hi everyone, I would need a hand. I installed the audio cables of the VB audio and through obs studio, I would like to send what I hear in the headphones (for example from discord) broadcast on my live shows. I captured an audio source telling it to take the audio from my headphones, and with the monitor audio plug in, I told it to send it to the virtual cable. Everything works, but in the advanced options of the obs audio mixer, the audio source (ie my headphones) is not active, therefore I cannot send it to track 1 and not to track two. Why does obs give me that the audio track is not active? Thanks in advance.

@cyan peak That would be fantastic (text entry prompts). I'll look into plugins for the time being, thank you for the quick reply

safe wing
#

I require a plugin for OBS which would link the volume levels of sources.
I imagine it would be a filter attached to a source, the filter would let you assign a group. All sources with the filter in group 'x' have the same volume, so if you change one member's volume all others follow suit.
Bonus features, would let you set the volumes independent from one another and then adjusted relative to a master source. ie. Source VOL Master 100% - subsource a = 85%, b=35%, c=65%. If you turned Master down, it would dial a,b,c down relative to their position. Turning master back up to 100% would have a,b,c at 85/35/65 respectively.
If you are able to make this plugin then DM to discuss please

If you'd like to control OBS Studio remotely, you have a few options.

To control from the web on any device (including phones and computers), use OBS Tablet Remote (requires obs-websocket).

Hi Everyone, I need some help in the installation of the plugin Background remover by Shilkrot in OBS. I guess installing the .so file is not enough. I can see all the editing parameters to edit my camera, but where I should be seen it's black. Has anyone installed it successfully on a Mac? If, so how? Thanks in advance!

To be honest, using Xsplit VCam would do a better job

Are custom buttons able to be added via plugins? Second question: is it possible to invoke scripts via the plugin?

cyan peak
#

when you say invoke, do you mean execute a script? or communicate with a script to make it do things? the former, probably not. the latter however is possible, but it's be a little weird to program

#

for custom buttons, depends on what you mean by plugin

#

if you mean a C++ plugin, you can do that and pretty much whatever else you'd like

#

if you mean a script, for scripts you're limited to what you can do with the properties system, which does allow buttons

#

is that in plugins or data folder?

vale vine

It came with an installer so I assume there will be an Uninstaller in windows settings > app changes/removal

flat steppe

yeah i used the installer and when i double click it again it asks to uninstall and says done but it keeps lettings me uninstall

vale vine
#

Might wanna post on the github for the plugin creator

flat steppe
#

alright and whats the warning about wrong yuv color range about sho8uld it not be set to full?

vale vine
#

!partial

oblique yewBOT
#

Most video editing applications and video streaming platforms expect a Partial-range input; streaming or recording in Full range will result in color clipping, often reported as overly bright or dark image. You can change your color range setting in Settings > Advanced.

strong tulip
#

If your editor and workflow supports Full range all the way through, including the things you're capturing, no problem. If you don't know what that means or how to check, you're best seting it to Partial.

?

flat steppe
#

So if a plugin gets an update will it update by itself or will i need to uninstall and reinstall the plugin

untold jay
#

@flat steppe if you used older versions of obs-multi-rtmp, manually remove them from %programfiles%\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit, newer installer installs into a different folder, so you end up with two installs active at once

flat steppe
untold jay
#

@flat steppe what was your issue again?

flat steppe
#

i cant get rid of the rtmp plugin

#

i tried uninstalling using the installer engine i used to install in the first place then i tried removing the files manually then obs wouldnt launch after that so i just uninstalled and reinstalled obs

untold jay
#

it has an uninstaller

flat steppe
#

yeah i used that but it kept saying uninstall done but its still there

untold jay
#

okay, open %programdata%\obs-studio\plugins\ and delete obs-multi-rtmp

flat steppe
#

idk why but it had an issue when i was trying to set it up where it had a glitched out dock but I want to know what went wrong so i could succesfully install it

untold jay
#

@flat steppe run the installer again
the dock might get stuck in a weird spot, but just unlock docks and move it somewhere and it'll work

native crescent
#

Maybe I should add manual deleting to readme...

I have problems connecting VLC to OBS Studio with the "VLC Video Source" overlay. It says something like "Couldn't play track" (I don't know because I'm not on my PC right now.) Does anyone know how to fix this?

analog ruin
sick slate
#

No.

analog ruin
#

then that would be why

#

OBS uses the same VLC, so if it cant play, it cant play it 😅

sick slate
#

It seems like it's playing in OBS but I can't hear anything in OBS.

analog ruin
#

you could use a program like handbrake to see if you can convert the file into a usable format 🙂

sick slate
#

I can hear it in VLC.

I'm confused.

sick slate
#

Is .wav supported?

#

Are VLC playlists supported?

analog ruin

a wav does not contain video 😅 Thats audio only

#

playlists are not video or audio files

#

just a list of them

sick slate
#

Music

#

Most people use Spotify, but I'm trying to use VLC, which is supported.

analog ruin
#

im lost 😅 Originally we talked about VLC no being able to play a file.
Turns out its wav (?), and there is no video, just audio, which you can hear in VLC, yes?
Tuna is just for displaying information about the music you're playing, thats all. It has nothing to do with actually playing the files

sick slate
#

There are only Spotify tutorials.

analog ruin
#

expand VLC source. There is a video and text instructions

sick slate
#

Maybe I should keep talking when I'm at my PC.

I'm having a stupid problem (my own stupidity) with the Move transition override. I wonder if someone can dispel me of my ignorance. My scenes are here: you can see that a bunch of scenes are basically different zooms in or out of a screencast. I use a 34" ultrawide monitor, but I use the equivalent of a 27" monitor in the centre to screencast into Zoom when teaching university class (I'm a professor)

unknown.png
#

For all of those screencast zoom/unzoom scenes, I have transition override set to move. That way when I want to zoom in (or out) to a part of the screen in one of my classes, the transition looks natural.

#

But I'd like to have fade transitions whenver I'm not switching between two versions of screencasts that differ only in where they are zoomed. What I've done to address this seems really backwards! I basically have two "unzoomed" screencast scenes. One is called "Screencast" and one is called "Screencast unzoom". I have the latter set to a Move Transition Override. The other is set to the default transition (Fade).

#

But it depends on my practice. I basically have to use "Screencast" whenever switching to or from a non-screencast scene (to ensure a fade transition) and use "Screencast unzoom" whenever switching from a zoomed screencast.

strong tulip
#

I'd love to see a video of what you're trying to go for

terse trench
#

BTW, all of the screencast scenes share a source: [NS] 16x9 screen scene. The difference between the scenes is just in the transformation.

To me it sounds like you need the transition table plugin

#

Not at the moment, in my opinion there is nobody that needs them all

oblique lotus
#

I don't, but it is a pain to locate all of them, and download each individually, if there was a zip file with all current just put together, it would be easier to update/pick what I want to use.

#

don't have to have an installer like StreamFX

Hi, Ive been having issue with the OpenVR plugin, and was wondering, is this is the place to ask about it?

This is a good of a place as any, though might need to be patient as that's not a widely used plugin.

My issue is that when I add the OpenVR Capture Source to my scene, it doesn't seem to detect SteamVR or any VR game as something to record/show in the scene. Its just a grey box in the properties window, and is a black box in the scene. This was happening before AND after I installed StreamElements

I'm having a problem, the source doesn't show Dota 2 that was launched by a skinchanger. Is the problem missing a plugin or something else?

any ideas? I've seen someone do this.. so there is a way... i was hoping there is some plugin....

paper barn
#

Not tuna or something local

#

I know it's possible with Streamelements

shrewd elbow
#

when you say, "media request" ....is that a plugin?

paper barn
#

Maybe google what I said

shrewd elbow
#

and I'll definitely check out streamelements

strong tulip
#

I think streamelements one is for when you use their media request queue, which plays YouTube videos

paper barn
#

Yes

#

It's not local

shrewd elbow
#

yeah ..no.. this would be for local media files being played from HD

paper barn
#

I did mention this before

shrewd elbow
#

right...and I also mentioned that I looked into Tuna....and that it only shows the current file being played...

paper barn
#

I don't know of any plugins that can do that for local files?

strong tulip
#

Neither.

#

Short of having something from the program showing and window capturing it

shrewd elbow
#

unless the person who I saw doing it had an overlay read the name off a text and had it show up on screen a preset amount of time before the current media file ends....

strong tulip
#

Quite possible. Do you know what player they used?

paper barn
#

The playing next text doesn't sound crazy

shrewd elbow
#

I'm surprised there isn't a plugin for a "Playing Next: " type of thing....

paper barn
#

it seemed like it was videos... and you want to show the video

shrewd elbow
#

I'm almost positive they are using OBS.....

paper barn
#

In a small square

shrewd elbow
#

and they were streaming to a Vaughn Live

#

no....the person basically had an animated text pop up on screen maybe 2 minutes before one Media File (movie) was over and displayed the next Media File (movie) on the list.... something like "Coming up Next: Star Wars" ......for ex

strong tulip
#

Are you 100% they were playing local content? That sounds like a non-local overlay

paper barn
#

I don't think is possible with something else than an actual media player showing the queue itself

#

Not possible so far

strong tulip
#

(also, your poor full-stop key is getting overworked. Let it have a rest.)

shrewd elbow
#

absolutely positive it was local...

paper barn
strong tulip
#

Short of asking, there's no real way to tell.

paper barn
#

Do you know the streamer and seen their setup with local files playing?

shrewd elbow
#

one of their mods said told me...

paper barn
strong tulip
#

You could ask their mod what they're using to show the up-next thing, then

#

Or them directly, rather. Either or.

shrewd elbow
#

and what does that mean "your poor full-stop key getting overworked" ... ? not familiar with that lingo

paper barn
#

Period

shrewd elbow
#

oh believe me, I've been trying.... there are NEVER avail... lot of Vaughn users let there streams just cycle...

#

ok...no worries... just thought I might ask some OBS gurus......but I figured there are are prolly running some script they make to read playlist off TXT.... becuase I did search ....and only found a couple ppl in Forums that asked the same question

#

thanks anyways....

#

oh sry...those "." are force of habit
