Aha! Clever - I assume you mean use the OBS API to remote start the stream and keep a running clock that starts at the same time? We currently start the stream manually but I very much like the idea of this workaround assuming I understood right! Thank you!

wary escarp
#

Just to clarify, you‘re looking to make a plugin, right?

elder urchin
#

Not necessarily - for my purposes it would be fine for the internal tool that needs this clock time to track it when sending the API call to OBS if that's possible but I'm open to the idea of a plugin if it's more generally useful or better somehow. Either way, I guess that would also likely force us into preferring API use from that point on (at least for all stream starts) since a manual restart of the stream from the OBS client would leave us with a wrongly associated start time otherwise.

#

Oh nvm, I think I'm talking about something slightly different. The FE API would only apply if I were writing a plugin and tracking said clock within the plugin it seems. I think what I had in mind instead is something more like triggering a remote stream start over the web with another plugin and then having the backend that triggered that also keep track of a running clock starting at the same time.

#

Ah, I see, thanks!

#

Interestingly, the page permissions menu already states that advanced access to OBS can change scenes, but I guess that message was added pre-emptively then...

So maybe someone can help - I have Zoom Rooms when I start the NDI it doesnt output any audio only video, maybe someone can help me

hard jay
#

This could probably be easily modified for more accuracy.

wooden crane
#

Heijo, does anybody here have experience with zoom rooms and obs? My friend and I are trying to create a conference where speakers will join zoom rooms and it will be live streamed to Facebook and Instagram

#

Everything works fine (the audio and sound) but the moment NDI is started OBS doesn't get any sound from zoom rooms

#

So does anybody have any idea why it's doing that? Why does the sound suddenly disappear when NDI is started?

#

I will be grateful for any tips or ideas :)

elder urchin
hard jay
#

Yeah websockets and hooking the start event is probably your best bet then, as suggested.

elder urchin
#

Thanks all!

Good afternoon: i am trying to see if i can use facetracker as a channel point for my community to use during certain moments. Can this be done? If so whats the easiest way? Thanks in advanced

hello i'm using obswebsocket to rearrange the displayed scene on my stream, most of whats on screen are VLC sources of RTSP streams, and every time i rearrange the items on screen it seems like there is a random chance of the CPU shooting up to 90%+ ... is there any debugging that would tell me what is causing the CPU to do this?

white dune
#

there is the rule of something something. whenever you have a lot of one thing and pick a random item, you are likely going to get that something.

#

so just break into the program, 99.999 % of the time, you will end up in a hot path (or a wait)

Can anyone help me with setting obs plugin face tracker as a channel point? Is this possible without a stream deck?

For some reason does the spectralizer plugin always resize itself whenever I start OBS again.

quiet bramble
#

If OBS crashes during exit it may not save the configuration. It's a good idea whenever changing any aspect of the configuration to then switch scenes and back, which forces the configuration to be saved apparently. If that isn't the problem, then it is possible that one of your sources has a default 0x0 size which can cause some filters to not work properly on startup. If that is the case you can override their auto-sizing in the transform dialog to specify their bounds manually, which will usually work around this sort of problem.

#

An example of this is doing a game capture without any game running. The OBS source will show up as a red square in the upper left with no dimensions (0x0px), and filters applied won't really work properly at least until it has dimensions.

cedar cliff
#

the issue I encounter is not from crashing and I also don't use a filter of any sorts.
All I did was add a spectralizer from the plugin with the same name, set its shape to circle and resized it in the studio itself. Nothing else.

#

can anyone tell me where i'd go for help with obs websocket? i seem to be hitting an issue with CPU spiking when my scripts are using ReorderSceneItems ... just curious what the limitations are of it, i have around 100 scene items if I shuffle around items that are all next to each other in the layer list i'm fine, but if I move stuff further around there seems to be a random chance of the CPU spiking to 100% and not recovering

Anyone Familiar with a plug-in capable of reading midi inputs for OBS?

I would like to use midi data to execute scene switches

First result for "obs midi" in Google 😄

HI

twilit skiff
#

I’m considering building a image-to-text translation tool. Something that works similar to those translation websites where you upload an image, choose the “from Language to other language” (eg “from Korean to English”) option, then the website spits out an image with the Korean text replaced by English text. Before I go reinvent the wheel, do any OBS plugins like this exist?

hollow stirrup

#

Ah that’s definitely a thing to consider, thanks! I know of a different project that uses google translate, but I’m going to try libretranslate running locally so it can operate a bit faster & without cost

thanks for the reply! im not actually shuffling around all 100 items, it seems to occur when i move one item from the middle of the pack all the way to the bottom that it gives me random CPU spikes... do you recommend i give v5 a try? what would be a better method? basically what im trying to do is take an RTSP stream VLC source and move it to behind the jpg i have as the "background" image of the stream thats near the bottom of the list so that i still have the VLC source's audio but have the video hidden

wary wasp
#

do you recommend i give v5 a try?
I mean, I guess? It uses a more efficient method but I haven't compared them to really say what would change

wraith briar
#

hello, has anyone had a problem with win-capture-audio where it crashes your games?

dim heron
#

Wow...

mossy ibex
#

And what game? Usually when a game crashes in relation to OBS it's more on the game side as the fault

wraith briar
mossy ibex
#

Any game? or only specific ones?

#

If you can boil it down specific to the plugin it would be better to let the creator know in the forums/github for it

wraith briar
#

most games i play like apex legends (i notice it mostly in horizon zero dawn)

#

okay will do thank you

mossy ibex
#

The plugin is in beta, and the feature is being added to OBS natively in the future, so providing details about issues is helpful

wraith briar
#

to obs devs or the plug in devs (or both lol)

wraith briar
mossy ibex
#

I can't say for sure when it will be added, I believe it was planned for 27.2 but IDK if that's still the case

Hello, any idea how to make source mask fade like the scene does, instead of abruptly appear/disappear?

untold jay
#

@obsidian crane right-click > show transition > fade

obsidian crane
#

right click where? (Filter/Source/Scene/preview)

untold jay
#

@obsidian crane source

obsidian crane
#

The filter is on a scene...

untold jay
#

@obsidian crane are you trying to make a transition from no mask enabled to a mask being enabled?

#

in that case, you might have to use streamFX source mirror: add the mask to the source mirror, manually hide one of the sources, then toggle visibility of both sources with a single hotkey

obsidian crane
#

Transition frome a scene with no mask to a scene with mask. As of now, everything appears, and then after all, the mask appears (it simulates 3D, but the sudden appearance ruins everything)

untold jay
#

how about you just use a scene transition from the scene transitions dock, then?

obsidian crane
#

That is what I do, and whatever the transition, same thing, as if the filter is applied after all...

untold jay
#

@obsidian crane uh, no idea how to fix that one, sorry
try asking again later, or try the obsproject forums

obsidian crane
#

well, if I figure it out, I'll let you guys know

#

Is it possible then, to add a Hide/show transition?

#

Or add the mask filter as a source, instead of a filter?

#

(btw, I tried with transparency, but to no use, not as neat)

untold jay
#

@obsidian crane you can't add a transition to a filter, only to a source, but you can have two sources with different filters and simultaneously fade one in and one out

obsidian crane
#

That one I use already...

untold jay
#

already using a source mirror?

obsidian crane
#

to make the dark in the screen you see in the bottom right corner transparent, and go back and forth from transparent to opaque

untold jay
#

but in your video, that transition is happening instantaneously

obsidian crane
#

Well, I was not trying to showthat part, if you want I can also send a clip of that

#

Is it possible then to add a filter mask from an animated gif, or what ever? I would then make the fade in the video itself....

untold jay
#

@obsidian crane that would require a dynamic mask, which is also part of streamFX

obsidian crane
#

... well, I'll give it a try, thx a lot!

hi

untold spoke
#

so i have been trying to get the obs-plugin to work

#

any help?

strong tulip
#

Which OBS plugin?

untold spoke
#

how do i check

#

sorry im not the brightest

strong tulip
#

I mean, it's you who's asking about it, whatever it is 😄

untold spoke
#

4.9.1?

#

is tha what you mean

hard jay
#

What is the name of the plugin

#

Not the version

untold spoke
#

oh uhh

#

compat?

#

sorry if its not im kinda dumb

hard jay
#

Do you have a link to where you downloaded it from?

#

That doesn't sound like any kind of OBS plugin I've ever heard of.

untold spoke
hard jay
#

Websockets, got it.

#

What are you installing it for?

#

To use with a remote control app?

untold spoke
#

i am installing it for a replay buffer thing

hard jay
#

Are you on Windows?

untold spoke
#

yea

hard jay
#

Just grab the one with "Windows-Installer" in the name, and run that.

#

It should take care of everything automatically at that point.

untold spoke
#

i did

#

i installed the thing

#

and used the installer to install a new thing

#

but the websocket isnt working

hard jay
#

What specifically isn't working?

untold spoke
#

im not sure. what is obs supposed to look like with it?

hard jay
#

Well it doesn't look like anything, websockets is mostly a backend plugin. There's a few options in the tools menu, but that's about it.

untold spoke
#

like what options

hard jay
#

The websockets plugin lets you control OBS remotely, I'm not sure what kind of thing you're trying to do that it would be required for a replay buffer.

#

We have a built-in replay buffer that you don't need a plugin for.

untold spoke
#

so there is an game that in order for me to have it record highlights i need the plugin to connect it to the game, thats what the devs of the game told me

hard jay
#

Which game? Is there a guide they sent you, that you can send me so I can see what they're trying to accomplish there?

untold spoke
#

yea hold on

#

there

#

make sure you scroll to the replay buffer integration

hard jay
#

Thanks, give me a moment while I look over this and see what exactly they're looking to do here.

untold spoke
#

ok thanks ytou for this btw

#

take your time

#

Do that for me from OBS

untold spoke
oblique yewBOT
hard jay
#

Ok, I don't see OBS Websockets loading in that log file. Have you restarted OBS since installing it?

untold spoke
#

yep

hard jay
#

I also see that you have norton, which is notorious for being, frankly, absolute crap and causing more issues than it solves.

untold spoke
#

mhm

hard jay
#

It often blocks OBS from loading properly, and from being able to install plugins.

#

Is OBS installed in the default location in program files?

untold spoke
#

`wdym

#

i didnt change anything so im pretty sure

hard jay
#

The only thing I can think of at that point then is that norton is blocking OBS from loading the plugin, or it deleted it when it was installed.

#

But I don't use norton, so I don't know how you can even check that.

untold spoke
#

so you dont know how i can make it not reject the plugin?

hard jay
#

I don't offhand, it's the only thing I can think of though, if you just used the installer it will place everything in the correct location automatically.

#

You can close OBS, and try running the plugin installer again, then check Norton for any alerts about deleted files.

untold spoke
#

it says i have it right here

Screenshot_2022-01-14_233114.png
hard jay
#

That's a zip file, not the installer.

untold spoke
#

i know

#

i own the installer as well

hard jay
#

Alright, let's go step by step here then

untold spoke
#

ok

hard jay
#

go to C:\Program Files\ and make sure you see a folder called obs-studio, then open it.

untold spoke
#

its there

hard jay
#

you should see three folders in there, bin, data, and obs-plugins, can you confirm that?

untold spoke
#

yep

hard jay
#

Ok, so that's all good then

#

Now run the OBS Websockets installer

untold spoke
#

there is also a fourth

hard jay
#

what is the fourth?

untold spoke
#

"uninstall"

hard jay
#

Oh, yeah that's normal.

untold spoke
#

what do you want me to do now? open the installer?

hard jay
#

Yeah, open the installer, and hit next until you get to this page

#

Verify that's exactly what it lists as the path

#

If it says anything different, you'll want to modify it so it says exactly that

untold spoke
#

it doesnt show that page

hard jay
#

You don't get that when you click next?

untold spoke
#

i click agree then i see the install button

hard jay
#

Well that's odd.

#

@wary wasp What would cause the websockets installer to not provide the location for install?

#

the file name is exactly obs-websocket-4.9.1-compat-Windows-Installer.exe yes?

untold spoke
#

yea

hard jay
#

Might have to wait for tt to be back to answer why the installer wouldn't prompt for the install location. It might be installing somewhere it shouldn't be.

untold spoke
#

ok

#

the first time i installed it it did ask

#

i think i chose the same thing just on data d not c

hard jay
#

Oh, well that's why it's not working then.

#

It has to be installed on c, in the same place as OBS.

#

Ok so this might be easy then

untold spoke
#

oh ok

hard jay
#

Just go to d, look for the obs-studio folder, and then copy it to c:\program files

#

and just merge the folders

untold spoke
#

okay

#

so uhh i think i did it

hard jay
#

Go ahead and launch OBS and post a log again

untold spoke
oblique yewBOT
hard jay
#

Hm, nope, still not loaded.

untold spoke
#

weird

hard jay
#

You merged the folders, right? And didn't accidentally copy obs-studio inside of obs-studio?

untold spoke
#

wdym by merge

hard jay
#

Or similar

untold spoke
#

the installer?

hard jay
#

Well, hm, maybe not if nothing actually matches, but double check that you didn't put obs-studio inside obs-studio

#

no, not the installer.

untold spoke
#

ok thats what i thought

hard jay
#

Alright you should be able to just uninstall websockets from the control panel then

#

under add/remove programs

#

And hopefully when running the install again, it asks for the location and you can select c this time.

untold spoke
#

where is the control panel

hard jay
#

Just press the start menu, type in "programs" and look for the option that says add or remove programs, or similar.

untold spoke
#

in file explorer?

hard jay
#

no, in the start menu

untold spoke
#

of what

hard jay
#

Ok, never mind thast

untold spoke
#

sorry for all the questions

hard jay
#

do this instead

#

press windows key+r at the same time

#

you should get the run popup

untold spoke
#

yep

hard jay
#

type appwiz.cpl in there and hit enter

#

it should open up the list

#

then just look for obs-websockets and uninstall like normal.

untold spoke
#

done

hard jay
#

Ok, now rerun the installer and let's hope it prompts for the location this time.

untold spoke
#

it worked! it asked me where i wanted it

hard jay
#

Ok! So just make sure it says C:\Program Files\obs-studio

#

and then next and install

#

(and make sure OBS is closed)

untold spoke
#

it worked!

#

its on obs

hard jay
#

Shows up under tools now?

#

Huzzah!

untold spoke
#

thanks you so much for your time!

hard jay
#

Now you should be able to set the password and follow the rest of the guide for setting it up in-game :)

untold spoke
#

thank you

hard jay
#

Sorry, we just added duplicate message protection to the bot

#

It's a bit overly aggressive right now :)

untold spoke
#

oh its fine

#

i was confused lol

#

because the guy spamming that meme?

hard jay
#

Nah, it has a 5 minute timer, and you say "yep" already

untold spoke
#

#

how do I add backgrounds

strong tulip
#

Have a background, add it as an image/media source

quiet bramble
#

Well, that would be as a static image or video.... not as a plugin. 🙂

#

To add a background as a plugin, it depends on what plugin you're using. If it is StreamFX, the Shader Source can be used to load a shader as a background source. If it is OBS Shaderfilter, you can use the OBS Color Source as a dummy source (any color) then apply the shader filter to it which will overwrite the default color with the shader pattern/animation or whatever.

strong tulip
#

Not everybody who asks about stuff in here actually needs a plugin, they just don't know where to ask.

quiet bramble
#

It depends on what plugin you are using though.

#

I don't assume what people know or don't know.

strong tulip
#

Neither do I, so I wait until they clarify before bombarding them with information that they mightn't actually need ;-)

quiet bramble
#

I bombard them with information that they may not need, and they can decide. 🙂

strong tulip
#

Sure, but it's a great way to confuse people, make things seem overly complex, lead them to believe that only the complex method gets them the potentially simple answer they want

#

So in that spirit, why don't we just ask

#

@storm sonnet what kind of background do you need?

quiet bramble
#

You can load images with Shaderfilter as textures. #JustSaying

#

One thing that's quite fun I find, is converting some of the cool Shadertoy shaders that are animated background type art or FX to work with one of the shader plugins. Can get some pretty wild cool backgrounds that are quite unique as not very many people out there play around with them.

@ripe kernel depends on what's your idea of "modify"
filters that are exclusive to async sources are exclusive because there's no way to make them work non-async, but if you want pixel shaders, those can be used with the obs-shaderfilter plugin or the streamfx plugin

Thank you very much for your response! Sometimes I get the feeling that my questions are too dumb to get answered. Regarding the problem: Well, it almost appears to be not possible. Pixel Shader won't do the trick, I guess. I'd need a way to get the current frame in an RGBA representation modify it on the CPU and put it back to the graphics system. If there is any way to achieve that I'd be very happy to know. But it's probably not possible as the frame hasn't actually been rendered at that point, I think. I tried to figure out how the image source and crop plug-ins work and thought it'd help me to get my idea to work. Unfortunately I haven't come that far yet. I'm pretty new to graphics APIs and that stuff.

You mention reading the current frame in RGBA, modifying it and outputting it, which is exactly what a pixel shader can do. You mention you can't use a pixel shader but do not provide enough detail of what you're doing to know whether it is doable in a pixel (or vertex) shader or not, or some other solution. If you can elaborate with less abstraction it might be helpful to get a better view of the problem you're trying to solve.

Is it possible to use a camera filter on one scene and not another? Scene 1 (no camera filter) and Scene 2 (with camera filter). When I add a filter it applies to all scenes for some reason. FYI i only have one camera.

hard jay
#

You can use a nested scene for that.

strong tulip
#

Since nested scenes are just the original scenes themselves, surely that doesn't work? Or perhaps I've always done it wrong.

#

I've always needed StreamFX' Source Mirrors pointing at a scene to achieve that

dark sapphire
#

you add the webcam to a scene of its own, then add the nested scene in locations where you want to apply filters, and apply filters to the nested scene. wherever you want it unfiltered just add the video capture device source itself

hard jay
#

If you need multiple filters, use multiple scenes

#

It's not "elegant" or anything, but it works just fine.

untold jay
#

streamfx source mirrors are a lot more convenient for this

quiet bramble
#

Source Mirror is usually the best solution for things it works with. For other things, having say CamScenePlain and nesting that into CamSceneWithFIlter and applying the filter(s) to the CamSceneWithFilter scene itself, then nesting either of those scenes in other scenes where you desire with or without filter.

#

Another way some people might do it is to use the OBS Groups feature and put the unfiltered source or scene inside the group and apply filters to the group. While this solution looks cleaner than nested scenes, the Groups feature has had a tonne of bugs and issues all along, some of which have lead to corruption of the configuration and other unpleasantries. Some of those issues have been fixed over time but I believe there are still a number of them remaining so I wouldn't recommend Groups. Source Mirror and/or nested scenes are definitely the best approach IMHO.

Sure, I'm glad someone cares for my problem and asks for the details. 🙂 I want to integrate an image stabilizer/smoother build with OpenCV. The implementation is actually quite simple and therefore maybe not perfect but that's something else. I don't know much about the shader mechanisms yet but that eventually means that there had to be a way to compile them with C/C++ code. As little as my knowledge about graphics APIs is I don't think that's possible, is it? 😬

Ah, I've looked at OpenCV a few times but never used it. Got a bunch of free OpenCV books on Packt Publishing. You might want to look there and see if they still have any for free. I wanted to explore using OpenCV for motion tracking arbitrary objects in OBS and overlaying 2D and 3D objects on them. Kind of like face tracking plugins except it'd be an anything tracking plugin. It quickly got pretty deep though. I also had someone tell me OpenCV was pretty slow and there were better more performant options out there but I am unfamiliar with them.

#

I wonder if the Nvidia Broadcast APIs have anything like that built in.

Hey there ! I developped a tool to change titles from different platforms all at once and did a specific display to dock it into OBS. But every time i open OBS the session is lost and the user has to login again, which is highly impractical. Any idea how i could solve it ? 🙂

  1. Install VB-Audio CABLE. (A reboot is not required)
  2. In OBS Studio, go to Settings > Audio and select "CABLE Input" as your Monitoring Device
  3. Go to Edit > Advanced Audio Properties and enable Audio Monitoring for the audio sources you'd like to stream to Discord.
  4. In Discord, in Voice & Video settings, select "CABLE Output" instead of your microphone under "Input device".

Now anything you monitor in OBS Studio will be streamed to Discord. Similar steps will work with other conferencing apps, such as Microsoft Teams or Slack.

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.

this is the issue

Move transition plugin seems to be loaded correct according the log file

clever aurora
#

is there another plugin i can use for colorkey?

#

i been searching for hours

#

@weak escarp

fossil wyvern
#

color key filter is in the vanilla OBS isntall, you don't need a plugin for it

clever aurora
#

thats the problem, when i installed "move transition" my old filters broke

#

i tried uninstalling and they still remain on my OBS

weak escarp
#

"Failed to create source 'ChromaKeyFilter'!"

clever aurora

yeah i see it

weak escarp
#

But the obs-filters.dll looks to be loaded, strange

clever aurora
#

looks like im the only person in the world with this problem

#

see my issue 😄

fossil wyvern
#

the move transition plugin shouldn't be able to fuck with the obs-filters.dll, no?

weak escarp
#

Normally not

clever aurora
#

i wouldnt have thought so, i watched youtube videos and thiers works fine

fossil wyvern
#

to be clear, removing the move-transition plugin doesn't return the filters to normal?

clever aurora
#

no it doesnt, im stuck with these filters

fossil wyvern
weak escarp
#

In the log the move transition plugin is not removed

fossil wyvern
#

also that

clever aurora
#

i was honestly afraid to do a clean reistall of OBS because i have alot of scenes that took over a motnh to get right

#

so what files do i remove, i guess i could try it again

fossil wyvern
#

do the same for your profile, this way we're sure you're safe before we start fucking around

weak escarp
#

Remove move-transition.dll if you only want to remove that plugin

clever aurora
#

in program files?

#

i will try that before a clean re-install

Isnt that usually a message that's given if you delete the stuff from the ui folder?

i have no idea, i dont know much about this stuff

harsh topaz
#

so data > obs-plugins

#

When you install an addon, there's two sets of files. One for data > obs-plugins and one for obs-plugins > 64bit (or 32).

#

If you run a plugin (the 64bit folder) without the files it references (in obs-plugins) u usually get errors like that

#

If obs-filters is a default plugin, reinstall OBS.

fossil wyvern
#

yeah, problem is here, obs-filters isn't an addon, it's in base install

harsh topaz
#

If not, reinstall the plugin.

#

Then a clean install should install the required files again

clever aurora
#

yeah i might have to do fresh install... i literally have no idea why

harsh topaz
#

You'll obviously need to get your other plugins again.

clever aurora
#

i backed up my scenes twice, on USB too

harsh topaz
#

(Like move transition etc)

#

This isn't a scene thing.

#

Scene Collections are stored in user windows.

#

This is under program files.

clever aurora
#

yeah but if im doing a fresh install, i need it backed up

harsh topaz
#

no you do not.

#

Reinstalling OBS does not delete your scene collection.

#

But it is always recommended to back it up, of course.

# brittle thorn OBS automatically suppressing music in a video

It's impossible to remove music from a single track of audio that contains mixed voice/music/game/whatever, so if that's what you're looking for then no it isn't even possible at least not with the current level of machine learning technology. Maybe 10 more generations of Nvidia GPU's machine learning will be able to do that but that wont be for 20 years or so if it is even possible then. If you want to for example broadcast one audio mix that includes music and another that does not include music you can not separate them once they are mixed. You need to record the individual audio tracks into the recording with a different mix than what is being broadcast. OBS also has a built in feature that is used by Twitch, where putting audio on track 6 (if I remember correectly), it will be present in the live video broadcast, but Twitch wont include it in their recorded VODs. Assuming that's what you're doing. With the individual audio tracks recorded tracks in your local recording, you can have track 1 as your master mixdown of all the tracks you want audible by default in the local recording, and put individual audio such as music on a different track or disable the recording of it.

#

If you need help with any of that, go to the #audio-support channel in HELP & SUPPORT.

Do you know if VHS has them combined or separated tracks for music and voices? The one I'm testing with is from 1993.

white dune

vhs? like cassette tapes? No. they have normal stereo sound.

unless you hear wildly different things in the left and right channel, it's mixed together.

# quiet bramble It's impossible to remove music from a single track of audio that contains mixed...

In the last couple of years there's been a few DJ and music producer apps that do precisely that - analyse mixed music and either mute or isolate certain parts within it like vocals, leads, bass, percussion, etc, some better than others, and source material quality make a difference too, so the option is there to tinker with tracks and see at what point they are no longer recognised by copyright bots.

quiet bramble
# real flume In the last couple of years there's been a few DJ and music producer apps that d...

That is not the same thing at all. That software works with stereo music and analyzes both channels of audio to see what is different in each channel and use sum and difference algorithms as well as other algorithms to try to remove out of phase signals by subtracting them from each other etc. A program like Riffstation Pro (which I use personally, now discontinued) for example. This is not the same thing as taking say, a Livestream with mixed game sounds, streamer's mic, and background music, and individually and flawlessly eliminating just the background music. That is literally impossible in 2021 no matter what software you have.

#

We're not talking about removing vocals from an isolated stereo music track by reversing the phase of the common stereo signal and subtracting the audio or tricks like that.

#

The person asked about removing music entirely from a video, not removing the vocals from an isolated song.

#

However, if anyone knows categorically of some software out there in existence that can take a live stream stereo audio track for example and lift the music cleanly out of it, then I stand corrected and look forward to hearing about the amazing technology as it would be a one-up over and above Nvidia Broadcast machine learning tech like RTX Voice and then some. Please do tell. 🙂

can i get tech?

quiet bramble
#

There has been a bug in OBS for years now where switching from one scene collection to another can cause various problems including corrupted config file, camera ceasing to work and other problems. The problem seems to be caused by OBS starting to unload the current scene collection, then starting to load the new scene collection before it has completely unloaded the first one, and when the 2nd collection tries to access the same device the first one had open for example, it fails and the camera doesn't work. There are other race conditions of this nature. People with relatively small scene collections are less likely to encounter it, and people with larger ones more likely. The workaround is to create a new scene collection called "Blank" that contains no scenes, switch from SC1 to Blank, then switch to SC2. This buys enough time for the first one to shut down before the 2nd one is loaded.

I don't know either way, but it is possible that scene switching problems like this could have an adverse effect on plugins as well. One way to test it is to use the "Blank" scene workaround and see if the problem goes away. If so, then that's probably what the problem is. If not, could be something else but might be worth testing anyway.

Yes, one is the pull request and the other one is the CI that is triggered by the pull request. It can be a little confusing at first

Oh, so they're different things? I have no idea about of this just yet

ah so if i downloaded the old one, can i just copy and paste the files again and itll be fine?

Each time the pull request is updated (for example due to changes being made because of updates), it triggered a new build action.

Yes
The tab called "Checks", and then "CI Multiplatform Build"

pulsar turtle
#

ok, so. I've downloaded a previous version, copied it into the OBS folders. I then see a new update in the pull requests. From there i cannot seem to see a place to download anything and then, i assume, drag and drop into the folders for my OBS

#

or have i got that all wrong?

There's a lot of bugs with Source Record, but they're not simple and there's only so many hours in the day. I'm sure Exeldro will get around to it when he has the time.

Personally having fiddled with it, I would just recommend not using it for the time being.

# modern drum Is there a place I can suggest a plug in?

I'll explain incase I forget or fall asleep.

So I use OBS to record VHS tapes sometimes. I use to do it to DVD like a cave man. And the VHS to DVD converter would auto pause when the screen was fully blue (0,0,255) is there a way to make a script or plug in that auto pauses when most of the screen is mostly this color of blue?

quiet bramble
# modern drum Is there a place I can suggest a plug in?

Not that I'm aware of... Other than knowing a plugin developer well enough to make a suggestion to them and them possibly taking up the idea. OBS project has an ideas page for feature suggestions for OBS, but not for plugins.

#

You could possibly try the OBS web forums and make a thread there or something but I wouldn't expect anything from it either.

modern drum
#

Same

quiet bramble
#

Your best bet is probably to see if there already is a plugin like that in the plugin forum, and also search Google because there are many plugins and scripts available on github or elsewhere across the web that the author never bothered (or perhaps never had interest in) submitting it for inclusion in the OBS plugin resources forum.

#

Might be able to write a script to analyze the frame and stop recording if certain conditions are met.

Hey team, can someone please assist me with the OBS NDI plug in download? I've followed videos and downloaded the correct file but it's still not in my OBS under tools. I tried watching videos to solve this but it looks like my folder doesn't contain all the right files? I've tried reinstalling the app a few times now but it still is not working. Would really appreciate some guidance. Thank you !

harsh topaz
#

Make sure the correct files are in the correct folders.

#

The 64bit folder contains the .dll and .pdb files.

#

After you've downloaded the plugin, you have to move them to your obs-studio directory. Usually located at C:\Program Files\obs-studio\ (default installation).

quiet bramble
#

You can already record multiple audio tracks in OBS, assuming you are using the MKV file container (which is always recommended). Source Record plugin or using NDI or virtual camera to multiple OBS instances is the only way to record multiple separated videos.

(or a 2nd instance screen capturing a projector view)

I am aware that the beta is TECHNICALLY not the latest version. But I have exhausted all other avenues including uninstalling and reinstalling LumiaStream...unconnecting and then reconnecting OBS under "connections" in LumiaStream and so on.

I am at a loss as to why OBS is not connecting to LumiaStream. Can someone help me?

Well, though I'd ask for DM since I don't feel like my messages are seen here 😄 been trying to find help for a month now. Only just found out that you are the developer of Source Record and would love some help, guidance, or maybe just a "tough luck" so I can move on and try to find a different solution.

The idea behind Source Record is awesome, and I'm really keen on getting it to work. But as it stand now it's not working at all and I've run out of ideas to try to get it to work.

#

I've tried all encoders with the same result, I've made sure that from the second the source that I'm recording is visible, it's not unloaded anymore

#

But all recordings just cut out at a seemingly random point. Could be seconds

#

could be hours

#

Just in this screenshot you can see the recording lasting anywhere from 12 seconds to 2h29m

unknown.png
#

And, as I've read in many places before, audio stutters in the recording.. but that's the least of my trouble. Would be tremendous just to get the video right.

@hollow mulch does OBS log an error or anything when the recording ends?

hey there guys. I'm not 100% sure which channel this belongs in, so sorry if this isn't the right one! however, i am hoping to find a plugin that I feel like HAS to exist, I just can't find it. I'm looking for a plugin that utilizes speech recognition API to automatically censor anything said on a specific audio source. For example, I say something like "That's f* up" and the plugin is able to automatically play an audio cue and mute the audio source to censor "f*" without me having to manually do it. Does anyone know if something like this exists?

peak vector
#

it uses a middleman video server and does the editing before it's forwarded to live

tulip vapor
#

i figured what could be done about the delay issue is to put a delay on every source aside from the audio source playing the censor sound, then fine-tune the delay so that it lines up with any potential buffer time for the api to recognize the speech

peak vector
#

there's no automatic censor as I understand their description, it only offers an api you would need to connect to with another speech API

tulip vapor
#

ohhh i see. so i would use this to delay the stream, then allow access of the http server to a speech api plugin that is built to censor?

#

if so, any idea of a speech api that does that? I can't seem to find one of those either

#

ooooh i just had an idea. what if there's a way to use the speech api to trigger a macro? something long like Shift + M + D+ Ctrl, then add that macro as a hotkey in OBS to trigger both a temporary mute of the audio source and to play the beep sfx?

peak vector
#

anything that happens in OBS will be too late

#

because there's no way to remove audio that already happened

tulip vapor
#

can't you delay individual sources before they are encoded?

peak vector
#

I am not deep enough in the code base to answer that unfortunately

#

also delaying before encoding will eat enormous amounts of RAM and VRAM

tulip vapor
#

that's okay. im using a dedicated pc to stream separate from the one all content is on.

#

you can delay audio sources manually using Sync Offset. as long as i can get my mic audio delayed before it is encoded and sent to twitch, that should do the trick

#

might have just found something. will report back later

tulip vapor
#

from what i've been able to figure out so far, you can delay audio devices pre-encoding. using VoiceMacro, I can actually trigger hotkeys that mute my audio device and play a beep at the same time, and it works well with some fine-tuning to the audio delay. the issue i'm running into now is with the limitations of VoiceMacro. It takes voice commands instead of just identifying words in a string. So, to get the hotkeys to actually activate, I have to intentionally and clearly say exactly what I have typed in as the command for the hotkey. So, it's possible, but the way I have it set up right now isn't viable for livestreaming because it's too structured. I need something that can listen to full sentences, identify keywords, and then trigger the hotkeys.
