Overview
Online Status adds a lightweight source that automatically appears when your stream is dropping frames (network issues) and fades out after stability returns. When the drops stop, an optional “Connection is stable again” text or image briefly shows so you and your viewers get instant feedback.

Features
• Auto-detects frame drop spikes (percentage threshold).
• Text or image mode for both “Dropping” and “Stable” states (independent).
• Optional blinking for each state with separate rates.
• Auto-hide after configurable no‑drop interval.
• Separate temporary “stable” overlay duration.
• Test buttons (simulate spike / show stable / hide) for quick setup.
• No manual scene switching required—fully automatic.
Configuration Highlights
• Dropping Tab: Mode (Text/Image), message or image path, threshold %, hide-after seconds.
• Stable Tab: Enable/disable, mode, text/image path, show duration.
• Blink Tab: Per-state enable + rate (Hz).
• Advanced Tab: Test buttons & force-drop toggle for previewing behavior.
Installation
Windows: Extract the ZIP so the obs-plugins and data folders merge into your OBS install (or portable) directory.
macOS: Place the .so bundle (or packaged plugin) into ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins (or use provided package if available).
Linux: Build with CMake (see README) or place the compiled module into your obs-studio plugins directory (e.g. ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins or system lib path).
(Provide SHA256 checksums on your release page.)
Use Cases
• Local confidence monitor (keep source hidden from broadcast by placing it on a preview-only scene or studio mode).
• On-stream visual indicator for viewers.
• Quick diagnosis during unstable connections.
