A few of us grouping up on the night for a go at a Beatles classic. Live at The Neptune, Chesterfield.

Audited the latest OBS plugins. 2 updates this week. StreamUP got backup and restore for a whole OBS setup, and PTZ Controls now needs OBS 32.2.1. Here they are.

Annoyed at scrolling through 50 OBS scenes? The StreamUP Scenes Organiser gives you folders, colour coding and auto sort. Same Scenes dock, just one you can actually navigate. Free. Free download and a full walkthrough in the reply.

A lot of you asked why I don't just hold Alt and crop in OBS. One of the reasons: crop a source and filters still work off the original bounds, so a stroke only lands where OBS thinks the edge is. Advanced Mask crops it properly, full border. Stroke filter by @f15y.com

I don't crop sources in OBS anymore. Advanced Masks by FiniteSingularity does it as a filter. Crop it, round the corners, zoom. Then Scene View Transform lets you move the source anywhere and the crop stays put. Which means Move can animate it.

New Streamer.bot update out and you really do not want to test it live. Copy your whole Streamer.bot folder first. Open the copy, update that one, reconnect your broadcaster account, then break it as much as you like. Your original sits there untouched.

Thrown together on the night for this one. Live at The Neptune, Chesterfield.

You can test an OBS update without installing it. Download the zip, extract it, drop a text file called portable_mode inside, then run bin, 64bit, OBS64.exe. Your real setup never gets touched. Do you test first, or just send it? #OBS #Streaming #LiveStreaming

Audited the latest OBS plugins. 4 updates this week. No brand new ones, but Advanced Scene Switcher can now react to what you say out loud. Here they are.

StreamUP 2.3.0 is out for OBS. OBS can back itself up now, the toolbar got rebuilt, and your stats live on that toolbar. Thread below, one feature per post, with the full video at the end.

Twitch turned on generative AI training for your account by default. Settings, Security and Privacy, Training for Generative AI. Turn it off. Takes 10 seconds. Do not open that page on stream though, your phone number and email are right there.

Should you update OBS? Yes, because every risk has a fix. Back up your profiles and scenes, test it in portable mode first, roll back to any older version if it goes wrong. Release day, or wait a few weeks? #OBS #Streaming #LiveStreaming

A video going over all the stuff in 1.0.7 was released yesterday by @andistone.uk / @streamup.tips youtube.com/watch?v=_LMW... To those making SB videos, be sure to post them on your socials & tag us with the @streamer.bot (not a #) so we can like, comment & maybe reshare it

Thank you all for engaging with the videos, subscribing, liking, sharing! It's nice to see the channel has completely been reborn. Thank you for helping me help you. Please, if there's anything you'd like to see, let me know! You can always come and ask me on Twitch live too!

6 OBS plugins in one video, and I built every one of them. Source Explorer, ProText, StreamUP Chat, Test Card, the free StreamUP plugin, and one that is not out yet.

Do this before every OBS update. Profile menu, Export. Scene Collection menu, Export. That is your entire setup saved, in about 20 seconds. Lots of them? Grab the folders from %appdata%, OBS Studio, basic. When did you last export yours? #OBS #Streaming #LiveStreaming

This is exactly why I love open mics. Grouped up on the night, one song, one take. Live at The Neptune, Chesterfield.

An OBS update is not a one way door. Every version OBS has ever shipped is still on the GitHub releases page. Pick one, grab the installer or the zip, done in about 2 minutes. Ever had to roll one back? #OBS #Streaming #LiveStreaming

The Dream Synopsis, live. Turner's songwriting is right up my street.

Streamer.bot 1.0.7 is out and it is a big one. New integrations, new triggers, and a couple of changes that will quietly break things you have already built. Here is everything worth knowing, in order. Tell me which bit you are setting up first.

A plugin vanished from OBS after you updated. It did not vanish, it failed to load. Help, Log Files, View Current Log, then search for failed. OBS names the exact plugin and tells you why. Have you ever opened your OBS log? #OBS #Streaming #LiveStreaming

Dear Prudence never fails to put me in a good mood. Live from the stream.

Updated OBS and half your plugins are dead. Before you blame the update, check the plugins are actually up to date. StreamUP checks every one of them in a single click. Still broken after that, tell the developer. Which plugin broke for you? #OBS #Streaming #LiveStreaming

Audited the latest OBS plugins. 4 landed this week. Three brand new, and one update that turns a MIDI controller into an OBS control surface. Here they are.

Changed your PC, or moved house and changed internet? Run Tools, Auto Config Wizard in OBS. It tests your machine and your connection and sets resolution, FPS, bitrate and encoder for you. About 90% right in 2 minutes. When did you last run it? #OBS #Streaming #LiveStreaming

Most people are scared to update OBS because nobody tells them it is reversible. It is. Every bit of it. Here is how I update without ever putting my live setup at risk.

Every OBS plugin I make now has a feedback button in it. Look for the little speech bubble. Bug report, feature request, or something you wish it did, it comes straight to me.

A bit of Muse from the other night. Supermassive Black Hole, live, one take.

Every setting for an OBS source in one panel. Name, scene, transform, properties, filters, audio. No right click menus, no digging through submenus. That is Source Explorer.

A bit of The Last Shadow Puppets from the other night. Just let this one breathe.
