I’m creating my very own save file for glimmerbrook!

In honor of me learning a tiny bit about twitch streaming I wanted to get into creating a save file of my own, I’m still working on my mods folder (I have 7k+ mods/cc) so making this save will take a while lol but I’d love your suggestions and company as I stream

Tap the follow so you can see how far along I am each time I stream👇🏾

Hey, Tumblr, I'm angry and frustrated and I'm making it your problem.

Break the Keep Reading only if you either A. have any experience with OBS-Websocket or other such integrations, or B. sincerely wish to partake in my suffering. Warning for excessive cursing, it gets rough.

Update on the whole KT-1632 overlay situation: After a handful of minor technical difficulties and rookie mistakes (hey cat, it would help if you actually turned on the damn websocket before trying to connect to it), I've established a base framework for connecting to OBS Websocket.

Once I had that in place, I started testing out what kind of messages I can get, and uh... I'm already running into a huge problem, here.

See, OBS Websocket 5.0 has the following messages that seem pertinent to my use case: CurrentProgramSceneChanged, SceneTransitionStarted, SceneTransitionEnded, and SceneTransitionVideoEnded. Keep in mind, the only documentation I can access right now, as far as I can tell, is just the 5.0.1 OBS-Websocket.

Here's a refresher on the use case: I want to be able to move elements of my Unity-based stream overlay depending on which scene is currently active in OBS. A wrinkle in this is that I use a custom stinger transition with a specific cut point, like this:

Now, all three events regarding the scene transition only have one piece of data to them: the name of the transition (which is basically always going to be "SniperScope"). The only event that actually tells me what scene is being switched to is the CurrentProgramSceneChanged event.

There is an immediate problem.

Funnily enough, this order of operations is actually backwards from the current documentation:

On the one hand, there could potentially be some sort of delay or other issue involved with WebsocketSharp / Unity that's responsible for this, however in my testing the exact amount of delay and order of operations is entirely consistent every single time I initiate a transition in OBS. The first message almost always arrives instantaneously; it's the other three messages that seem to come whenever they feel like it, and not at all close to what they need to be at.

On the other hand-- wait, what? What's this issue on the official obs-websocket github about--

So you're telling me that SceneTransitionStarted used to have the from and to scenes specified in the event data in version 4, and they removed it in version 5 for literally no other reason than an RPC overhaul? And they haven't added it back in OVER A YEAR?!

Now, the github actually does have an install link for obs-websocket version 4.9.1-compat that should (keyword should, you know how that goes) work with OBS 29 (more specifically, it should work with 28+, which means there isn't even a guarantee for it to work with OBS 29... fucking awesome).

However, uhhhhhh... I cannot find ANY FUCKING DOCUMENTATION FOR 4.9'S PROTOCOL WHATSO-FUCKING-EVER. There is LITERALLY ONLY 5.0 in the readmes and protocol.md docs.

This shit has me pulling my hair. I'm goin' the fuck to sleep. Anyone got any bright fuckin ideas, I'm all fuckin' ears for it in the morning.

The more I have to change the settings in OBS studios the more my sanity drains. I can't even listen to calming music because Google won't stop taking ALL OF MY FUCKING RAM. AND THEN KDENLIVE IS HAVING A STROKE BECAUSE I FORGOT TO REMUX THE FUCKING VID AND NOW ALL OF YOUR AUDIO IS GONE BECAUSE FUCK YOU.

As the world of content creation continues to evolve, OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) has emerged as a powerful and versatile tool for live streaming and recording.

To achieve professional and engaging content, it is essential to adopt best practices when using OBS Studio.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore a wide range of tips and recommendations to help you make the most of OBS Studio and elevate your live streams and recordings to the next level.

1. Plan Your Content

Before going live or recording, plan your content carefully. Consider the following:

Theme and Focus: Determine the theme and focus of your content. Whether you're streaming games, tutorials, or creative activities, a clear theme helps build a dedicated audience.

Storyboarding: Create a storyboard or outline to organize your scenes and sources, ensuring smooth transitions and a structured presentation.

Engaging Introductions: Start your streams with captivating intros that hook your audience and set the tone for the rest of the content.

2. Optimize Your Settings

Efficient OBS Studio settings are crucial for a seamless content creation experience. Consider the following optimizations:

Output Settings: Adjust output resolution, bitrate, and framerate based on your internet connection and desired video quality.

Hardware Acceleration: Enable hardware acceleration if your system supports it to offload some processing tasks from the CPU.

Use Scenes and Sources Wisely: Organize your scenes and sources to minimize clutter and confusion during your streams or recordings.

3. Audio Quality Matters

Audio is a critical aspect of content creation. Pay attention to the following audio best practices:

Microphone Quality: Invest in a good-quality microphone to deliver clear and crisp audio to your viewers.

Noise Suppression: Use OBS Studio's noise suppression filters to minimize background noise and enhance audio clarity.

Audio Balance: Ensure a proper balance between game audio, voice commentary, and background music.

4. Visual Appeal with Overlays

Engage your audience visually by using appealing overlays:

Custom Overlays: Create custom overlays that reflect your brand and add a professional touch to your streams.

Alerts and Widgets: Integrate alerts for followers, subscribers, and donations to acknowledge and appreciate your audience's support.

5. Master Transitions

Smooth scene transitions create a polished presentation:

Fades and Cuts: Use subtle fades or quick cuts between scenes for smooth transitions.

Stinger Transitions: Implement stinger transitions with dynamic video effects for a professional touch.

6. Engage with Your Audience

Building a connection with your audience is vital for content creators:

Interactive Elements: Add chat integration and interact with your viewers to create a sense of community.

Respond to Chat: Engage with your viewers by responding to their messages and questions during your streams.

7. Monitor Performance

Keep an eye on your OBS Studio performance to ensure a seamless streaming experience:

Performance Stats: Use OBS Studio's performance statistics to monitor CPU usage, dropped frames, and streaming bitrate.

Test Runs: Conduct test runs before going live to check the audio, video quality, and transitions.

8. Consistency is Key

Establishing a consistent schedule builds trust with your audience:

Regular Streams: Stick to a consistent streaming schedule to let your audience know when to expect your content.

Content Variety: Offer a mix of content to keep your viewers engaged and interested.

Conclusion

OBS Studio's best practices are fundamental to creating professional, engaging, and polished content.

By planning your content, optimizing settings, focusing on audio quality, using captivating visuals, mastering transitions, engaging with your audience, monitoring performance, and maintaining consistency, you can elevate your content creation game with OBS Studio.

Streaming to multiple platforms

 Are you streaming to different platforms and Streamlabs is trying to get you to pay for it. Don't. You can use OBS to stream to twitch, Youtube and many other platforms all at once and all you have to do is download the plug in. 

This allows you to stream on all of your platforms at once or you can stream one at at time and if you don't want to stream on your main platform, you can make it do so. This is a perfect thing but it can kind of bog you down if you stream to more than two but if your Pc is a tank I would say go for it but be sure the bitrate is good and not making the stream stutter.

To get the plug in you can go here 

https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/multiple-rtmp-outputs-plugin.964/ and download it and install it. It will appear as a dock, you go live on whatever platform is your main and then hit start all or stop all. If you don't want to go live on the main, you can start it and click over the one you want and then stop it on the main or vice versa. This thing is cool but be sure you are where you want to be live at.
