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!

Enjoy this new update! As always, I will try to respond on the OBS forum, 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 (#53)
  • 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 (#56)
• 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

  • 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 (#46)
