To my knowledge from what I've read here they block it.

mortal harbor
#

i don't know where the "omegle doesn't allow virtual cam" misinformation started but it is not true

#

that being said, i still will continue not spending the time to teach someone how to set their camera in their web browser haha

vapid charm
#

Yolo is actually correct as I'm not seeing anything in their terms to dispute it otherwise.

#

However for all intents and purposes they may possibly be intentionally preventing the camera from being used.

untold jay
#

most support volunteers repeat after others without question, i too have read the tos and found no mention of this

#

a rare instance where we accidentally misinform others, the other instance i know of is that some claim display capture breaks game capture (no, it doesn't)

dark sapphire
#

I don't see why display capture would break game capture

#

Only situation where you could kind of reach that conclusion as a user is switching OBS to run on the wrong GPU so that display capture worked but game capture didn't

mortal harbor
#

then why put this on the analyzer solutions page

dark sapphire
#

interfere != break

untold jay
#

@dark sapphire but that, too, is misleading, they don't

mortal harbor
#

speaking for myself, that analyzer warning is why i thought they did

dark sapphire
untold jay
#

i never saw any such issues, only performance losses

dark sapphire
#

performance counts under the "interference" umbrella

#

99% of the kids that can't figure out how to use vcam in omegle are trying to troll people.

#

Which would be considered deception, and thus against their guidelines

fossil wyvern
#

but do they accept theatricality

vale vine
#

If someone came in and said "hey, trying to use my cool obs setup in omegle to have better quality" I'd easily tell em to allow the camera in their browser before proceeding to omegle

dark sapphire
# vale vine

so you're saying the videos I've seen of kermit the frog on omegle are against community guidelines?!

quiet bramble
#

I'm sure there are people who would likely be doing that, but that's something Omegle needs to deal with in their own enforcement IMHO, unless the OBS project is owned by Omegle.

vale vine
quiet bramble
#

It's suggesting that because some users might use OBS in a way that is in violation of Omegle's service, that all OBS users who wish to use the software with Omegle must be assumed to be violating terms of service and can not have any legitimate use of the software.

#

I think this is judging people's intentions without any basis.

vale vine
#

Knowingly helping someone break another serives guidelines is something I won't be a part of.

#

Considering how many of em say "I'm just trying to troll people" when they can't get it working is reason enough for me.

quiet bramble
#

Nor will I, but I wont make the assumption that the person is planning to break some other service's guidelines either.

#

It's assuming by default that people are bad.

#

You can use a butter knife to make a sandwich.

#

But you can also use a butter knife to kill someone by plunging it through their eye socket into their brain, and making a back and forth motion turning their brain into a stew.

#

That's not going to stop me from helping someone make a sandwich though.

@raw egret Well you could get around that a few ways.
You could use something like OBS Virtual Camera, send that signal to something like XSplit VCam then set VCam to capture the Virtual Camera from OBS, then you will get a simple "Webcam" that does pretty much the same thing except you get a sweet green screen you can tinker with if you want it (I only know this cuz I use this program for my Green Screened Facecam). YOU WILL NEED to toggle the Virtual Camera capturing option on, but that is a simple solution.

You could go full Sacreligious, and use StreamLabs to do it, but that's pretty much the worst option in most cases.

I do believe EposVox recently made a video specifically about OBS Virtual Camera (something about a Filter that was recently released, that adds in past features & removes restrictions?) so maybe check that

Hi!

I am currently looking for a plug-in. Indeed, I would like to animate my live with a "visualizer" like those of Windows Media Player back in the days.

But, I would like it to respond to a particular sound track in OBS where I listen to Spotify.
I found a chrome extension named : AudioVisualizer by afreak, but the problem is that it only uses chrome, and I can't link it to my Spotify application, which is exactly what I want.

So, if you have alternatives, plug-ins or solutions, I'm all ears!

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

@fallen tiger & @sonic frost
Try XSplit VCam - It has several uses, but it can take any Camera (Real or Virtualized) and remove backgrounds & chairs (chair is a toggle, and uses more horsepower)
It has multiple quality, and removal settings.

Try the 3.0 1st, if it seems like it's not working - Try the 2.2
Not sure what's with the 2.3 and 3.0 versions, but they don't seem to work with my specific config of hardware, but 2.2 works fine.

You can use your GPU, your CPU, or a combo of both.
Even works with OBS Virtualized Camera & such (feel free to get creative with this, it has uses you may think not possible! ^-^)

#

Just make sure if you use the Phone App too, to uninstall the PC and Phone apps both, otherwise it won't re-connect when you install the next version

it should be the same on both scenes for best result

the source itself or the group folder ... or I assume both?

I have built a web-application for a friend to stream. Unfortunately, it's regularly freezing (sometimes in the middle of a CSS transition, so it's not just my application). As of yet, I have been unable to reproduce the problem, but I have seen it happen on stream a number of times. Even if I would be able to reproduce it, I don't really know what to do to diagnose the problem because it would only be happening in an OBS browser source

#

Anyone with any ideas on how to approach diagnosing the problem?

oblique yewBOT
south saddle
#

Thanks, robot overlord! I'll do that and hopefully I can reproduce it (and if not, I'll see if I can coordinate with the friend to see if I can get Chrome Dev tools running on his live stream next time)

#

(I know it's just an example here, but it's still funny to me you picked 1234 because I do actually use that port internally on the server where the web application is running 😁 )

south saddle
#

Looking at the best way for me to connect my Chrome dev tools to the friend's OBS session (because I'm not really making progress on reproducing). It seems that with that option, the application is listening on localhost only, is there a way to make it listen for external connections as well?

#

I can of course set up forwarding one way or another, but that would be yet another bit of complexity I'll be asking the friend to set up, and there's a bit much in the way of complexity already

Anyone know of a way to troubleshoot several "OBS errors" I get when launching lioranboard? They scroll quickly, but say :

# vernal crown Is there a plugin for automatic scene switching based on who is talking in a gro...

Not that I'm aware of off hand, however it would probably not be difficult to make a pixel shader to do this using the OBS Shaderfilter Plus plugin. It has fft support for doing music visualization, which could be used to determine whether a given audio input is active or not. Not sure how functional one could get it to work, but it's a start.

For non-developers it might be possible to whip up a slightly convoluted solution using the Spectralizer plugin combined with StreamFX Dynamic Mask filter altering the alpha channel on a source to make it visible/non-visible.

Both of these are experimental ideas that might not be practical however, but I like to think outside of the box.

#

Both ideas might have temporal issues however, but a custom script or plugin based on the same ideas could work around that.

There's a version of it without .live but still yes, a fork regardless. This replaces pretty much every use case I could think for the pixel matcher plugin.

if you haven't scrolled up a little this is actually kind of what started the convo around the plugin....new changes in the adv-ss plugin that handle most of what that fork would do

if so, i think it would be possible to just toggle something like snapcam based on channels points, etc.

wary escarp
quiet bramble
#

@wary escarp Xaymar's suggested that it should compile and work in theory

#

@mortal harbor It's not exactly face recognition, but would be possible to take a snapshot of a camera source without anyone in frame, then make a plugin to take an average of each pixel color over a period of time looking for differences, then if a range of differences is within a certain size and shape, and of a certain color range make some fuzzy decisions. At that point it might be better off to just use OpenCV though.

Tonnes of desktop apps use the GPU. If you open Task Manager and go to the Details view, right click on the column headers you can enable a number of GPU related options and see all of the programs using the GPU/VRAM. Pretty much all web browsers use some form of GPU acceleration. Also, gaming clients like Steam, Galaxy, Origin, etc., as well as comms software like Discord, Slack, and many others.

Dude is this guy not the best or what

#

is there a tool i can use to use a dslr as a webcam for linux? i can't seem to get anything to work properly

gaunt zealot
covert trail
#

i don't have a capture card, and i don't really plan on getting one atm

#

i can connect the camera via USB but it shows up broken

gaunt zealot
#

Then you're shit out of luck then. Only the latest and greatest DSLRs have the USB bandwidth for things like 1080p60 and even then, probably need a firmware update to enable UVC support, if it was even implemented by the manufacturer. Otherwise you're looking some slightly older DSLRs (but still only like maybe ~5 yrs old) got drivers for non-UVC support, but every one I now of only for Windows/macOS and outside of some select camera bodies, you'll also be limited to USB 2.0 bandwidth (roughly 480p30 @ yuv422p).

#

Like I said, UVC-compliant capture card and a DSLR with clean HDMI output. You'll also need a dummy battery as, again, only very recent camera hardware has been designed to run continuously with external power (unless it's a cinema camera or camcorder). And even then, not all can run off the power from USB Type-C PD.

covert trail
#

the camera works through canon's official EOS webcam tool on windows but it doesn't want to connect over USB to obs without tons of artifacting

gaunt zealot
#

Welcome to the limits of USB 2.0 and heavy compression. See above.

covert trail
#

yeah, it is only USB 2 sadly

#

idk why canon released a DSLR in 2018 with a mini USB port but they sure did

gaunt zealot
#

So yeah... much newer camera body (like current model year) or get a HDMI capture card

#

And even with current models, only a select few are actually designed to be used as a webcam

covert trail
#

damn, i've seen other people use similar canon dlsrs as webcams with the same software over USB 2 but guess my camera's picky

#

i wish canon would develop their app for linux, can't be too different from the macOS port lol

gaunt zealot
#

And even if they did, you'd still likely run into encoding limits

covert trail
#

i'm not pushing 4k lol, i just want 720p 30

#

not doing much else than trying to use my nice sharp lenses to show me working on computer components

gaunt zealot
#

"Similar" doesn't cut it here on camera bodies as your exact, specific model may not have the compute, memory, or libraries, or PFGA space to do real-time video compression on a continuous basis. Or the cooling just isn't there and goes into thermal shutdown.

covert trail
#

it def does have a thermal limitation, but the battery gives before thermals get too bad

gaunt zealot
#

It's likely running uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 over USB 2.0, which means you're going to be topping out at like 480p/576p as that's just all the bandwidth USB 2.0 has to give...

covert trail
#

canon seemed to throw random components at the T line of dslrs lol

strong tulip
#

I know that's not actually important to getting your issue solved, just felt like chiming in with useless info :P

gaunt zealot
covert trail
#

oh right i forgot just how much macOS codebase isn't really stock, iirc it's only "unix compatible"?

#

stock is a poor choice of words but whatever

strong tulip
#

Everything above the basics are proprietary. Linux has video4linux, macOS has AVFoundation.

covert trail
strong tulip
#

But yeah, sounds like a capture card is the way to go. But that's probably true of most cameras tbh, then you're not limited by the camera's firmware or PC software

covert trail
#

makes me wonder how tf the canon software works, is it just a massive amount of compression?

strong tulip
#

That or it just fetches a lower-resolution-than-max image, or has a lower-than-you-think frame rate

covert trail
#

any recommendations for a cheap capture card? 1080p 30 is just fine for my needs

strong tulip
covert trail
#

lower frame rate def, it pushes about 30

strong tulip
#

I use one called the Aten CAMLIVE, it's a few years old, connects by USB-C and comes with an adapter — works very well, I use it to stream my Nintendo Switch

#

But anything similar would do, so long as it meets the UVC spec

#

Then it won't need any specific drivers

covert trail
#

don't have any USB C ports on my PC sadly, i cheaped out on my case and my mobo lol

#

that and it's a 2018ish ryzen build

strong tulip
#

That's why I said it comes with an adapter :P

#

USB-C is just the shape of the plug, after all

covert trail
#

ah i have a few of those but it likes to stop down to USB 2 even though it's got the pins for USB 3

strong tulip
#

Depends on the adapter, depends on the spec of the device too. There are USB 2.0 USB-C devices out there (sadly)

covert trail
#

oh trust me, i have a ton of those, and most of my USB C cables are 2.0 only

gaunt zealot
#

not being cheap helps with that 😉

#

Just be aware that ~$60 USD is pretty much the floor for capture cards that are actually USB 3.0 and will do uncompressed 1080p60 video. Anything under this price point, regardless of model or claims, will be USB 2.0 with heavy MJPEG compression.

I was wondering if someone could tell me where i could learn to configure obs for opencv in python?

boreal hearth
#

Docking seems to work more or less

harsh topaz

#

Oh dear, why is compiling stuff for Windows always such a pain.

#

I'm using the official obs project template and I'm trying to figure out how to add an additional library to the build dependencies.

#

On Linux I just put an additional line to the packages to install and add a find_package to CMakeLists. On Windows??? I have dozens of files that bother about obtaining dependencies and I have no idea how to make it work (luckily enough I don't care about Mac OS atm).

mortal harbor
strong tulip
raven hinge
#

@strong tulip Any suggestions for a particular example?

#

I don't really know any particular one where I would expect external libraries.

strong tulip
#

I expect the background removal one would have external libs

#

or StreamFX will def have some

raven hinge
#

Honestly, at the moment I don't even wanna consider building it on my local windows machine since it sounds really complicated to set it all up.
obs-backgroundremoval still seems to use azure pipelines which I cannot use.

#

lemme have a look at streamfx

strong tulip
#

Not sure how Azure Pipelines has much to do with looking at a project's CMakefile 🤨

raven hinge
#

well the cmake is not my difficulty

strong tulip
#

Well, it's all just CMake on Windows too

raven hinge
#

The difficulty is making cmake find the library if there is no system directory where it can just find it like on Linux

strong tulip
#

So then CMake is your difficulty

#

In which case, surely looking up some CMake docs on how to do this on Windows would be the doctor's orders

raven hinge
#

I know there are ways to manually specify paths on cmake, but I have difficulties modifying the github actions stuff to download (in my case boost) to automatically pass it to cmake.

#

Since all the actions scripts are kind of overwhelming

#

(and I don't really know powershell)

#

And to what it seems to me streamfx yet again use entirely different github actions setup than the project template which makes porting a bit difficult.

I'm not sure if I'll get it to properly save/restore its state,
Ah does that mean every time you shutdown OBS and open your SC again it won't remember your Multiview?

boreal hearth
#

no, just the position of the dock in the main window. The general position, visibility and fullscreen state is already saved and reloaded

harsh topaz
#

Ah cool, I'll give it a whirl and let you know! blobthumbsup

harsh topaz
# boreal hearth thx

Little unsure what these 2 options do. I tried both but couldn't tell the difference. What is 'program indication'?

dark sapphire
#

"which scene is currently in program view"

harsh topaz
#

Ah thanks. I see it now, red border versus red dot when you're on that scene. Ty Matt 👍

#

In that case I'd like to suggest a 'no indicator' option 🙂

#

Other than that everything looks clean. The ordered lists and revamp of the settings were a massive improvement. Looks really good to me 🙂

harsh topaz
#

@boreal hearth found a minor thing;

When you drag your mouse off of the Multiview, it keeps the green "hover circle" present at the last location your mouse was before it left the window, instead of disappearing.

Hey guys, I been having a bit of a drift problem in audio and video lately. Before I was running game PC with OBS Studio and stream PC with Streamlabs and it worked with NDI. I just had a slight 10 ms on a video delay filter. My sync timings were internal for the main NDI and the audio only ones were source and no issues with that. Now I switched to OBS Studio for both PC and it drifts, seem to start fine but a few hours in I seem to be 200-250 ms off. Is it best to use network on both my machines now ? They are connected to the same router in a LAN no wi-fi setup.

Is anyone else having troubles with NDI plugin local capture with Skype?

quiet bramble
#

nope

#

If we hear of anyone having problems with it in the future we can send them your way though. 🙂

robust pelican
#

I'm using the win-capture-audio plugin to capture audio, which is great, but occasionally the audio gets distorted for no perceptible reason. Does anyone know a fix for this?

quiet bramble
#

Do you have crackling sounds? If so that usually means the audio driver has desync'd generally due to overload. One thing that can be done is to go into Windows system performance settings and give priority to background processes. Most DAW software recommends doing this when dealing with audio in a professional manner.

robust pelican
#

Give OBS priority?

quiet bramble
#

no, give background processes priority

robust pelican
#

I see this now. Okay, so I'm doing that right now. That won't affect the programs that much?

#

This is the first time I'm doing something like this.

#

Also, if this is a Windows thing, I guess I've been posting in the wrong channel, sorry about that.

quiet bramble
#

Basically, when you're doing audio recording it is a realtime thing. If there isn't enough CPU resources in order to ensure the audio drivers can process incoming audio in time, the audio driver can get out of sync and it results in "robot voice" or similar distorted audio. Sometimes the device can be reset, other times you might need to reboot to reset the driver. Voicemeeter Banana has a Reset Audio Engine option that generally sorts things out when using Voicemeeter for example, but most programs do not have such an option.

#

By giving background apps priority it helps to ensure the audio subsystem gets some CPU priority.

#

It doesn't eliminate the problem however. Any system if heavily loaded can result in audio driver going out of whack. It doesn't generally happen with desktop audio in Windows, but is a common problem when using software like DAWs and broadcasting apps on a more heavily loaded system.

robust pelican
#

Okay. I understand. This begs the question, though, would this make it so the Chrome window I use for our maps and the popped-out Discord video chat window I use for our cameras will not freeze when they're not in the foreground?

quiet bramble
#

It will give background tasks priority, that's all it does. It doesn't do anything else.

robust pelican
#

Okay. Cool. Thanks for your help. My next stream is tomorrow, I'll see if this fixed, or at least reduced, the issue then.

quiet bramble
#

Note however that if you have anything running in the background which is resource hungry, such as a virus scanner that is aggressive, it can cause your CPU to get starved. There are pros and cons to this.

#

But without it, if the system is overburdened audio can get out of sync.

#

Also, be sure to update all of your audio device drivers to current.

robust pelican
#

Will do. Thanks.

hey everyone im a bit of a noob here. im trying to create a specific effect where i have a window that scales to sound but with some sort of motion blur effect on the zooming. not sure if that is clear enough, anyone happen to have any idea where i could locate a motion blur effect like that? also any way i can make a window partially transparent?

past lark
#

when clicking the mute button how can you show it on the stream (not with a hotkey)

quiet bramble
# somber plaza hey everyone im a bit of a noob here. im trying to create a specific effect wher...

For using sound to scale a source would require a plugin for that. I think there is one that can do it but not 100% sure off the top of my head. If not, it'd be possible to create a vertex shader to do that using OBS Shaderfilter Plus, which has fft support so it can be used for making custom audio visualization FX. There is the Spectralizer plugin and a few other audio visualizers but I can't off the top of my head think of a way to have the output of that animate the scaling on a source.

There isn't any motion blur plugin for OBS that I'm aware of, however it could theoretically be done in a plugin. The closest you can probably get is using either multiple copies of the given source, and apply different amounts of Render Delay to them, keeping in mind that gobbles up GPU VRAM. Alternatively Exeldro's Recursion Filter might be sufficient as well.

somber plaza

You can check the OBS Resources site for plugins but I haven't seen one offhand that can do that. If not, it'd require writing a custom plugin.

If you have a StreamDeck there are other options.

Does anyone have source record that can try to help me with the issue of my camlink freezing?

mighty hamlet
#

i have an rtx 3080

#

i will take any help or tips

mortal harbor
mighty hamlet
mortal harbor
#

i've never done it but the way he described it seems pretty straiht forward. install the spout2 plugin, probably add it as a filter to whatever source you want to record, run a separate install of OBS in portable mode w/ the spout plugin installed there as well, add a spout source and select the source you added a filter to

#

this will give you two separate instances of OBS running - one with everything and one with only whatever you added the spout plugin to (your 1 source)

#

then you can record on both

mighty hamlet
#

would that work by recording the two sources separately? and what about the audio. I need the audios separated as well?

mortal harbor
#

audio isn't related to video in this case, nothing would change as far as your audio setup and you can record multiple tracks in OBS if you'd like without running two instances

#

the only special thing being done here is sending your individual source to another instance of OBS to record separately

quiet bramble
#

If you want separate audio mixes, you can do that on the primary OBS by using the MKV container and configuring multi-track audio recording in settings and in Advanced Audio Properties

mighty hamlet
#

ill still need to use premiere to seperate them 😦

quiet bramble
#

Either doing separate mixes to separate tracks, or having a main mix, and split isolated audio on the other tracks.

mighty hamlet
#

at that point its the same as me recording 2x resolution with separate sources. The added time is the time to seperate them afterwards

#

source record includes the seperated audio

quiet bramble
#

What is your ideal target outcome?

mighty hamlet
#

to record with 3 video outputs. 1 = the original stream/recording which is the 2 sources overlapping and overlapping audio. 2nd output = one source with its dedicated audio (my cam and my mic) 3rd output = the 2nd source with its dedicated audio (gameplay or reaction content)

#

this is what source record does.... but i cant get the lag to stop with my cam when it's installed

#

Source Record also has issues currently with Nvenc, where it will default to the Stream encoder's output instead.

may not be strictly related to the issue, but its good to keep it in mind. really confused me when i ran into it

quiet bramble

Also a good idea to switch to recording to MKV to avoid the potential for complete data loss in power outage, computer crash, or other similar situations that prevent the recording from being finalized.

The "Window Capture" source does not capture audio.

you need to add the "Application Audio Output Capture" source

do I restart obs

yes, you will need to shut down OBS before or during the install anyway

so only get the audio of that app and only get the video of that app (same app)

If it is unstable for you, another option is using Voicemeeter Banana. There used to be a guide for how to use it but it seems someone deleted it for unknown reasons.

cyan peak

that doesn't gauge how many users out of the general userbase need it

I don't wanna be that guy who tells you to do use a different tool to solve your problem, but AFAIK the plugin doesn't do anything the built in virtual cam doesn't. And the plugin hasn't been updated in years, presumably because the built in one usurped it.

Honestly, not really. Source Record for my usecase does the trick since Exeldro's hotkey fix.

It's literally the thing I see people come here asking the most about consistently, out of things obs cannot do.

It's something that's useful to any sort of content creator.

I'm sorry if it seemed like it was an attack on you - wasn't - was more meant to be an affirmative nudge at Exeldro's "I should rebuild Source Record".

# wary escarp Unfortunately, there is not We're planning to add a plugin manager in the future...

That sound awesome! I started my HUDLAY project because i wanted to have layers somewhere online / centralized so that you can call them from wherever you are.
What if this would also be possible with plugins?
Do not misunderstand me, i am not a techie and for sure do not know how OBS is created. But imagine that instead of downloading the plugins, you would somehow call them from the OBS server. This way OBS would have the plugins always up to date. I really do not know if this is possible, but it would be awesome!

#

I know that this sounds more like a SAAS, but it could be some kind of solution.

anybody know how I may change the web socket server settings on my gaming pc in order to control it on my streaming pc using streamer bot? I've tried changing the server port but it won't connect. any help is appreciated!

@boreal hearth minor feature request;
ESC to close multiview. At the moment it feels a little aggressive that the only way to close it is to right click on the 2nd OBS window and close.

ESC to close it would bring it in-line with default Multiview 🙂

I've been trying to figure this out, but Canon's EOS Webcam Utility says it works with OBS, but it seems it doesn't. Am I missing a plugin?

hard jay
#

It should just show up under the selections for a video capture device

sinful star
#

It doesn't. It just shows my defaults and the EOS Webcam Beta version...which I already uninstalled

#

But it's supposed to work, right? I'm uninstalling again and restarting my computer, but I've been trying to get it to work for a week now...wonder if it's just my laptop?

hard jay
#

As far as I know it's supposed to work, they just register a virtual camera device.

#

You'll probably need to reach out to their support for more help though

Nono..I'm just an idiot. I downloaded the EOS Utility...not the EOS WEBCAM Utility...jfc forget everything I said

I can no longer use BroadcastChannel (JS class) in docks to communicate to local file browser sources since 27.2.x update. I guess they're on different origins or something now

wide kraken
#

Yeah I think that might've been changed due to no longer needing some workaround I think?

#

Hosting a local webserver is simple enough though.

dawn palm
# topaz prairie I can no longer use `BroadcastChannel` (JS class) in docks to communicate to loc...

Yeah, the previous version of the browser source with an older Chromium build required a workaround by us for use by local files that disabled a lot of security checks. The version used in 27.2.x no longer has this workaround, so those checks are re-enabled.

The URL spec which determines what is an origin does not define behavior for the file: protocol, leaving the potential rules up to the browser, but it recommends to use a separate origin per file when in doubt. Chrome, and seemingly most browsers now, will tend to err on the side of caution and even files in the same directory will be seen as coming from separate origins.

topaz prairie
#

But the simplicity of giving someone a couple HTML files and having them magically connect PepeHands2 (And it's more than a couple)

dawn palm
#

In theory we could make all local files be considered the one origin and that wouldn't be against spec, but that has security implications and it certainly wouldn't match expected browser behavior. It was already bad enough that we had to disable checks in order to make local files work at all in the past.

#

That being said, I do agree that BroadcastChannel in the OBS context makes so many things a lot simpler.

#

I'm not sure how we'd be able to go about enforcing our own rules over Chromium, even if we did come up with rules we'd be happy with.

obsidian agate
#

Wont websocket 5 have a way around that? Especially with it being default in OBS soon

#

with the custom broadcast messages

dawn palm
#

A solution that might be possible for us is to proxy BroadcastChannel, and have it prompt the user whenever a particular source or dock requests a named channel, and have them confirm that they're happy with it to send and receive messages on that channel.

#

Also that, yes, maybe.

obsidian agate
#

that way any source, regardless of origin, can send custom messages with OBS as the switchboard of sorts

dawn palm
#

I'm not comfortable saying anything definitive, because I'm not fully up to date on how things are planned to be implemented, and obviously security is a concern.

#

I unfortunately don't see a solution for 27.2.x besides running a local server though.

dark sapphire
obsidian agate
#

Ive set up my own web server on a raspberry pi on my network to get ahead of that

I definitely want to see BroadcastChannel, or something equivalent, being used for local files though.

A remote server is no problem but the application requires lots of images, videos, and sounds. It's faster to load a local file.

harsh topaz
#

I of course don't know specifically what you're using it for.

dark sapphire
#

Also if it's a static site, github pages is your friend.

#

But yes downloading and caching media can be a struggle.

Stating it was "a lot of html" didn't immediately include images, videos and other large file sized content 🙂

Windows comes with IIS...

dark sapphire
#

not by default, but yes

#

though a python web server is much easier to set up

topaz prairie
#

It's not like I'm just about to develop something and what I want isn't there. It's something that's been developed and working and then suddenly many things break or change unexpectedly. I can come up with solutions but they're not as simple and smooth for everyone involved, incurring more development time and working with new workflows.

#

Which I realize I'm just moving onto OBS

dark sapphire
#

Oh sure. As a web developer myself, it was not easy deciding which method of breaking existing local file setups was less bad. They all had significant downsides.

#

One idea I floated was for OBS to host a mini web server itself to bypass local file limitations, but in the end we decided against it.

#

Out of scope at that stage, and more ways we could break things in future.

topaz prairie
#

Maybe as a plugin? HmmCoffeeSmile

#

Could I run the python server from a script in OBS?

dark sapphire
#

I don't see why not.

harsh topaz
#

@weak escarp Any chance for an update to Move Transition that'll allow 'scene sources' to match?

#

If not default (backwards compatibility and all) then perhaps with a check field like the "match without numbers at the end".

weak escarp
#

you want to match sources in a deeper layer?

harsh topaz
#

No, just the actual scene source, to another scene source.

weak escarp
#

that should work

harsh topaz
#

I have a feed, with a frame - inside of a scene. And that scene is in a nested scene for position. And that position scene is in my final composition.

#

Similar, I have another camera feed in a different ratio - same setup.

#

They do not match though, Position 1 [H] not matching Position 1 [V].

From a message a year ago it was my understanding that groups/scenes do not much?

#

Unless I misread this.

weak escarp
#

yeah that is what I meant with deeper layer

harsh topaz
#

I do not want to match the source that's in the deeper layer scene. Just the final composition scene source. That's not possible?

#

[Frame 1] [Camera 1]
[Final Scene 1] <--- match that

[Frame 1] [Camera 2]
[Final Scene 2] <--- with that

weak escarp
#

that should work

harsh topaz
#

Hmm strange that it isn't then. I have with the last word removed, match the other source name checked, and currently my Scene Source named Position 1 [HW] is not matching Position 1 [V]

weak escarp
#

is the bounding box type the same for both?

harsh topaz
#

Yes, I changed their bounding box since that was the issue I ran into last time.

#

Bare in mind, it does match Position 1 [HW] with Position 1 [HW] on two different scenes.

#

Perhaps it's a regex issue?

weak escarp
#

trying to replicate it now

harsh topaz
#

Oh wait, I don't think so.. I renamed them Position 1 & Position 11 and still no match... hmm.

harsh topaz
#

It works. It however looks.. really bad hmm.

#

Seems like it goes bigger instead of just sliding across. Hmm. Anyway sorry for the bother LindLove

Damn, that looks super cool @harsh topaz

quiet bramble

#

There's not really any good way of doing this outside of just letting it fade - since it's two different sources and not one that's cropped. And cannot crop due to frame differences. Sadge Not sure if worth doing.

A cropped source transition looks hella fly.

#

Yeah that works at least, but the obs resource page is gone

#

Weird

hard jay
#

It's been superseded by the exeldro version I believe

red flicker
#

I have not seen an actual plugin from him for it O_o

#

Was the only one that ever came up

#

Worked fine like 2 days ago

quiet bramble
#

I don't see any shader plugin from Exeldro on the site.

red flicker
#

I don’t think he made one.
Xaymar’s StreamFX had shader functionality but it’s not compatible with the same effects

hard jay
#

Hm, I thought it was published, looks like it's just a fork.

red flicker
#

And Exeldro pointed me to that plugin for his shaders he made for me

quiet bramble
#

It's a bad idea IMHO to remove a plugin tonnes of people use, without having a message pointing from the old URL to the new one, or similar like was done with the VIrtualCam plugin before.

hard jay
#

But just to say publicly, I deleted the original post because the developer has been banned (like 3 times, even) from our community for being, frankly, a colossal piece of shit.

#

So that was supposed to have been removed months ago.

red flicker
#

Wellp

#

AFAIK there’s no alternative so that’s unfortunate

hard jay
#

Well the plugin is still available on the github repo, it's not like the removed listing on our forums deleted the plugin from existence.

red flicker
#

True that’s why I was asking here since I usually link the obs resource pages ^^

hard jay
#

It wasn't an easy decision to make because I know how popular that plugin is.

#

So please understand it was not a light decision.

red flicker
#

I’m cool with it, was just confused

quiet bramble
#

The other shader plugins include StreamFX, OBS Shaderfilter Plus. There are a few others that haven't been updated in eons no idea if they work.

vale vine
#

Someone else has been banned but their plugin still exists....

hard jay
#

Eh, the Xaymar situation is a lot more complicated.

harsh topaz
#

Still a shame if a functional useful plugin disappears due to personality traits.

hard jay
#

But I'm not getting in to that.

harsh topaz
#

Ultimately the user ends up losing out

quiet bramble
#

OBS Shaderfilter has the most shaders available for it and probably the most widely used. It has a number of bugs and seems to have had all development stopped a while ago.

red flicker
#

I mean if there’s a forked version that works the same without a shitty dev, then it’s fine - user just needs to be able to find it

vale vine
harsh topaz
#

For fixing.

hard jay
#

Well his fork just has a few fixups

red flicker
#

Theoretically the original plugin just used HLSL so it’s not like compatibility is a concern

hard jay
quiet bramble
harsh topaz
#

Perhaps Exeldro needs to upload the plugin again so people can search for it under resources aLindPeek

#

Or is that not allowed.

hard jay
#

Andersama didn't make multiple new accounts and continue to harass people after getting banned.

#

So, you know.

#

Not the same situation.

#

Shader plugin developers for OBS are like drummers for Spinal Tap. 🙂

hard jay
#

But anyway.

#

I understand it sucks it's not on the forums anymore.

vale vine
#

Why people gotta be....well....people?

untold jay
#

did something like that happen?

quiet bramble
#

It's not a huge deal IMHO, but a lot of users are going to be lining up in a long line looking for support for where it went, that's all.

vale vine
#

People ultimately suck

hard jay
#

I'm not going to go in to the details on what happened.

#

I'd ask that you just trust it's warranted.

quiet bramble
#

The plugin is unmaintained and really needed someone to step up and take it over anyway.

hard jay
#

Frankly I'd like to see someone just write an arbitrary glsl/hlsl shader plugin natively in OBS that we can ship.

vale vine
#

SB, up to the task? 👀

untold jay
#

didn't that already happen, like 2 to 3 times?

red flicker
#

I’d love native glsl that would be game changing

quiet bramble
#

I figured some day I would do so if someone else didn't but I don't have enough experience yet with native plugins so that day wouldn't be anytime soon. If Exeldro has forked it, and planning to release soon then that's about the best possible outcome I can think of currently.

weak escarp
#

I had no plans to release my fork

hard jay
#

I just saw the fork, I don't think he was planning to release

#

Ye, Exeldro doesn't have enough plugins released. Need to release more plugins Kapp

quiet bramble
#

I'd like to fix some broken things in Shaderfilter sometime later this year if nobody else has. There are like 5.3 million forks of it already to go through though.

#

As it stands right now, Shaderfilter is the one with the most out of the box ready to use example shaders that people can use without needing to know how to program. StreamFX has the most feature rich powerful and user friendly shader filter, able to work as filters, sources and transitions, take in multiple sources and blend them, and a partridge in a pear tree. OBS Shaderfilter Plus has GLSL support and fft capability.

#

Shaderfilter needs a good cleanup. It includes some shaders that don't even work and were never finished, various bugs in some of the shaders, duplicated code, etc.

#

I have local forks of a bunch of the shaders

red flicker
#

I’m glad I’m not crazy about some of the included ones not working

quiet bramble
#

It'd be interesting to develop a Shadertoy plugin for OBS some day also.

red flicker
#

Yessssss

quiet bramble
#

I've hand ported like 200+ Shadertoy shaders to either Shaderfilter or StreamFX over the last 2 years

hard jay
#

My ask for shader stuff has always been "import shadertoy filters"

#

That would be an ideal end-state in OBS, IMO.

quiet bramble
#

I'd LOVE to be able to have the multi-pass Shadertoy shaders

Ah, well good work. If it's compatible and you get the plugin to a place where you're happy with it - perhaps it could be the default multiview some day Prayge 🙂
