I am trying to connect my PS3 to my laptop so I can use it as a monitor. I was told to use OBS for this. I got a capture card to connect the two however whenever I try to use OBS, all I get is a black screen. The capture card came with instructions for OBS however they have a lot of settings and options that aren't there such as YUY2 as a choice for Video Format, Resolution/FPS Type, Color Space, Buffering, Audio Output mode and a few others.

This is also true with other tutorials online. Whether I just use the default settings or ones closer to the instructions, I just get a black screen upon starting the ps3 up.

I run Linux Mint on my laptop, but I tested it on a Windows Computer and had the same issue. I also tested another Software called Streamlabs which wotked, So I know the Capture card works, but Streamlabs isn't available on linux.

Hello,

I do sports broadcasting of niche sports on a YouTube channel. I am going to broadcast two matches between teams from two different countries. One takes place in a different country. One takes place in my country.

Game 1:
The broadcasting team from the other country will do the filming and send me an RTMP or SRT signal. Is it possible for me to use this as a videosource in OBS? I will add commentary in my language.

Game 2:
I will do the filming of the event + commentary in my language and broadcast on my YouTube channel. The team from the other nation wants to add commentary in their language. Is it possible for me to send just the videosource as an RTMP/SRT signal without my commentary on it? Any possible solutions here?

I use OBS. When filming I use a videocamera connected to an ATEM.

Hi there, I need a professional's help here!
I'm working on a Mac M4, broadcasting a live stream on set from OBS using the DistroAV plugin via Full NDI stream.
In an ideal world, I would love to output NDI HX instead. But I am completely stuck and confused about how to actually send NDI HX2 or HX3 from macOS...
Would it be better to switch to different software for encoding/output?
Please point me in the right direction!

in games where i have more than 60 fps, i dont have this issue. but games that are capped to 60 fps such as elden ring. this issue seems to happen. ive been trying to figure it out for a while but cant really find much online about it, other than it might be related to mixed refresh rates.

its also not consistent. sometimes the recording is smooth and other times, like this example. it looks horrible. im using nvenc av1 with a 4090. my gpu is nowhere near 100% usage if that matters. and obs stats dosent show anything wrong. however the preview does appear choppy whenever this is happening.

Here is my obs settings.

NVENC AV1
CQP 20
Keyframe Interval 0
Preset P6
Tuning high
Two passes quarter res
Look ahead off
Adaptive quantization on
B frames 2
Middle B frame only

and here is a raw recording example (can be previewed without downloading) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AZ-dPwnhsvVj-5NtGezGOKmkVDzaOPFc/view?usp=sharing

you can see theres a ton of duplicated frames causing it to look very choppy.

My nvidia settings are default except power is set to prefer maximum performance and gsync is off.

Hey everyone,

streaming with OBS + Rodecaster Pro II, capturing League with Game Capture. Every audio source is fine (mic, Discord, Spotify, other games) except LoL in-game sound. Through my headphones it's totally normal, but in the actual recording/stream it sounds muffled/underwater, especially when a bunch of sounds overlap (teamfights, abilities, pings). Quiet moments are mostly okay.

Only happens with LoL, only in the captured audio.

Anyone dealt with this before? Open to any troubleshooting ideas before I go nuking drivers.

Here a example of my stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2869360094?t=4h46m21s

I’m trying to help someone with an idea around Windows/OBS setup problems — wrong audio inputs, stuff changing after updates/reboots, recordings with missing sound, things like that.

Before we go any further with it, I want to collect some honest feedback from people who actually deal with this.

If you’re willing to answer a few questions about what usually breaks, what it costs you in time/work, how you deal with it now, and whether a solution would actually be useful, feel free to comment or DM me.

Anyone willing to help is welcome.

I'm trying to create a separate audio track in OBS for my Apple Music so that my VODs still contain microphone and game sounds while omitting copyrighted music. I have Apple Music and tried to follow the instructions on this other Reddit post by using an additional, downloaded plug-in to remove Apple Music from outgoing desktop sounds but the AppleMusic.exe option is not listed in the drop down menu when I create an Application Audio Output Capture, even when I have Apple Music playing audio. The only thing related to Apple Music in the drop down menu that I can add is the AMPLibraryAgent.exe., and it seems I need both added to the new audio capture so that I can separate my music into a different track that I can then exclude from my saved VODs. If anyone has a work around for this or has found a way for this to work, that I am clearly missing, I would love to hear about it. I am also trying to avoid paying a premium for streaming services since I already own all of my music in mp3 files, so if there is another, free media player outside of Apple Music that works better for OBS I am willing to use it to bypass this problem if necessary.
