obs-midi-mg 3.1.3

obs-midi-mg v3.0.0 Beta is now available.​

After many months, this update is finally here! Some of the most significant changes to the plugin are now available in beta. A culmination of many things led to this delay, but it is great to see this day come. Please leave any questions, suggestions, or issues you may have in the OBS forum!

Additions:​

• UI navigation and structure changes!
  • The UI has been revamped to add even more customization for Bindings
  • Devices no longer contain Bindings - Bindings are linked to their devices, messages and actions instead as needed
  • The setup menu is more compact to compensate for wasted space
  • If having trouble navigating the new plugin setup menu, see the updated Help page
• Icons!
  • Many of the buttons found in previous versions of the plugin have been updated with icons
  • Each icon should be self-explanatory as to its function, but the updated Help page explains all of them
• Actions can now have values that toggle!
  • Supported fields will display two values, and each time the action occurs, the used value will switch to the other selected value
  • The value on top will be checked for first
• Bindings can now have multiple actions!
  • This effectively replaces the Internal action, as it no longer exists
  • As with Internal actions, actions placed higher in the execution order (top to bottom) will execute first
• The biggest change: MIDI output!
  • Most of the current input actions now have an output counterpart to listen for
  • To listen for these output events, use an output Binding connected to an output Action by clicking the Switch button in both menus

Tweaks:​

• Multiple bindings can now be executed simultaneously if they are fulfilled at the same time
• Most actions are much more customizable in terms of what their values can do - go check them out!
• Logs have been updated to include more information
• The Listen buttons now listen to ALL devices, not just one
• The MIDI devices' names have changed to exclude extra numerical identifiers
  • The MIDI library used in this plugin (go check it out) has been updated
• Each device can now have its own throughput device to send its incoming messages to
• Audio Sources actions will now use decibels (dB) instead of percentage (%) values
• Filters actions will now include all sources with filters, not just sources and scenes
• MIDI actions will act similarly to output Bindings when executed
• All actions involving a scene's sources will now include the sources inside a group
  • NOTE: Undesired behavior occurs when using the Video Sources: Move Source action with sources inside of groups. I cannot change this behavior, as this is an OBS Studio issue.

Bug Fixes:​

• Various crashes have been eliminated - please file an Issue if there are still others
• All versions of previous configuration files have been tested and are working correctly

Enjoy this new update preview, and thanks for being patient. I will try to respond on the OBS forum more from this release forward, so feel free to post there any issues or suggestions you may have!​

obs-midi-mg v2.3.0 is now available.​

Additions:​

• Sources and Transitions can now be custom edited like Filters
  • Now all configurable areas of OBS sources can be customized using MIDI
  • The Sources editor is found in the Video Sources category
• Number Field redesign
  • The number fields are more compact with this redesign
  • The up and down arrows will automatically increase their multiplier after holding down the button for a few seconds
    • i.e. after a few seconds, it will increment by 10 instead of 1
  • A new option replaces 127-0 -> Custom Bounds
    • This is the same as 0-127 mode, except that the range can now be changed
    • When this is selected, two number fields will appear instead of one
    • The top field corresponds to a MIDI value of 0, while the bottom field corresponds to a value of 127
    • These fields can be flipped to achieve the 127-0 effect by making the top field value larger than the bottom
  • These new features apply to all number fields present in the program
• Transition Bar gets an upgrade
  • A Release action has been added
  • This action shouldn't be necessary, however, as the original action will automatically release the transition bar after 1 second of inactivity
• The Internal action has been expanded
  • An unlimited number of actions can now be added to one Internal action
  • The Timeout action has been merged into the Internal action, meaning the timings are built in to each individual action
  • The help page explains this action in more detail
• MIDI Throughput
  • Incoming messages can now be sent through to an output device
  • This can be found in the Preferences menu

Tweaks:​

• The Filters action will now include Group sources
• Pre v2.0.0 versions of plugin data can no longer be imported (it's too hard to maintain)
• The Message view has been reorganized to fit the new number fields
• The Binding Transfer menu has been adjusted

Bug Fixes:​

• Disabling the Device Interaction checkbox in the Preferences menu now prevents any MIDI input communications
• Custom color fields now properly set the correct color
• There are so many others that I have not mentioned

Enjoy this new update, and thanks for being patient. Big things are coming, but continue to let me know of any issues or suggestions you may have!​

Additions:​

  • Properties adjusted in filters can now be adjusted in the plugin based on MIDI values, just like any other action
  • It is almost completely customized in terms of ability to use message values
  • Works with just about every filter (even with colors!)
• Transition Bar is back!
  • After almost half a year, the Transition Bar action has returned
  • It behaves differently than expected in 0-127 mode, but there is no way around it
• 127-0 mode
  • Some number fields will have a new 127-0 mode
  • This behaves exactly like 0-127 mode, but backwards

• The MIDI action can now use any field (besides the device) from the sent message

  • THIS WILL LIKELY BREAK EXISTING HOTKEY ACTIONS!

  • Example: If changing the subcategory in Filters from Show Filter to Custom Filter Settings, the Source and Filter fields will not change
