Developer Note​

As the developer of this plugin, I owe all of you an apology. I have been away from this plugin for quite some time with no explanation as to why. Let's just say life is hard sometimes, and I had to take a step back for my own sake. But I have ignored everything concerning this project for over a year - including the forum. And for that I apologize. I hope you all understand where I'm coming from.

However, this does not mean that I am back permanently. I will not be able to respond to everything all the time like I used to - the situation I'm in does not allow for that. But even with this change, I will try to do better in responding to your inquiries on the forum. At least then I can still help you with your feedback and questions.

With all that aside, here is a new update!

Additions:​

• Field Customization
  • Each field is now fully integrated with the plugin
  • Double clicking a field opens the field editor, where you can customize it
  • This replaces the mode buttons below the field name in previous versions
  • See the Fields section of the documentation for more details
• Speaking of, new and improved documentation
  • The old documentation has been transformed into an interactive site
  • The site can be found here
• Action Reorganization
  • Actions have been moved around to correspond with better categories
  • This mostly affects the various actions dealing with sources (not scenes)
  • I promise this is the last time this happens!
• Automatic Device Detection
  • MIDI device detection across all systems are now fully supported
  • A Refresh button remains for your convenience
• MIDI 2.0 support
  • Messages can now support MIDI 2.0 values for all existing MIDI message types
  • MIDI 1.0 messages are still recommended for most setups, but you are able to take advantage of MIDI 2.0 if necessary
  • The setting is in the MIDI Connection section of the Preferences
• New MIDI Action: Device Connection
  • An action to change what MIDI devices to listen for
  • Good for setups with more than one MIDI device
  • Does not work for initial plugin launch connections!

Tweaks:​

• Configuration files have been updated to support new actions coming soon
• The entire codebase has been updated for consistency across each core concept
• Some output actions have been changed in favor of a toggle button (streaming and recording events are examples)
• Messages can no longer use multiple types at once
• The Binding editor has been changed to accommodate the new field editor
  • The middle panel cannot be edited unless you click the edit button first!
• Numeric fields now only require one click to edit using the keyboard (you can edit when it starts to blink)
• Custom Settings Actions are now much more consistent when editing
• Custom Settings Actions no longer have buttons (just use the button within OBS Studio)

Bug Fixes:​

• Configuration imports will no longer crash when using an empty toggle field
• Custom actions will no longer crash on import from pre-v3 configurations
• Removed crash resulting from new Windows MIDI Services API (will be reintroduced when crash is resolved)

Enjoy this new update!​

obs-midi-mg v3.0.0 is now available.​

Finally, exactly one year after version 2.3.0 was released, the full release of version 3.0.0 is here! Thank you to all that contributed to this plugin - this would not have been possible without you. Please leave any questions, suggestions, or issues you may have in the OBS forum.

Here is the full changelog:

Additions:​

• UI navigation and structure changes!
  • The UI has been revamped to decrease complicated movement
  • It is more compact to compensate for wasted space
  • The Message menu now holds which Device it wants to listen for
  • It is also much cleaner looking, with smooth edges and colored backgrounds
  • If having trouble navigating the new plugin setup menu, see the updated Help page
• With this UI change comes Binding Collections!
  • Bindings are now automatically grouped in binding collections
  • Bindings can be moved around these collections with the Move button
• 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
• Icons!
  • Many of the buttons found in previous versions of the plugin have been updated with icons
  • Each icon has a tooltip with its basic functionality, but the updated Help page explains all of them in detail
• 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
  • With fields that only have two values to toggle, no display will appear - the plugin will automatically toggle between the two values
• Devices can be refreshed!
  • With the click of a button, Devices can be checked to ensure that they actually exist
  • This comes with the plugin's ability to automatically detect if a new device is present (in most cases)
• Number fields can now be edited by typing!
  • Double-click any number field and it will begin to blink
  • Type into the field to set its value
  • It will stop blinking when it has lost focus, then it will set the typed value
• The biggest change: MIDI output!
  • Most of the current input actions now have an output counterpart to listen for within OBS Studio
  • To listen for these output events, use an output Binding by clicking the Switch button

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 MIDI devices' names have changed to exclude extra numerical identifiers
• Each device can now have its own throughput device to send its incoming messages to
• Actions will now occur slightly faster
• The field buttons now have tooltips
• 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.
• Audio Sources volume actions can now choose between percentage and decibel (dB) configurations
• Media Sources time actions will now update based on the length of the source being played
  • The Set Current Track Time action no longer can use custom bounds
• Filters actions will now include all sources with filters, not just sources and scenes
• MIDI actions will act similarly to output Bindings when executed
• The title bar will now include the current Binding Collection (or Binding) name next to the menu title
• The Listen buttons in the message editor have been replaced with a single button
• MIDI backend updated
  • I am aware of an issue that may cause pipewire to be unsupported on some systems. An update fixing this is coming soon.
  • Also, the macOS bug is finally fixed!
