***The speed slider has been removed entirely and the speed of movements starts small, and ramps up the longer the button is held down. This behaviour appears to be more user-friendly, but I would like to have feedback on how it is working.***
Review: The intention was good. However, I liked the previous speed control better. It seems more practical to me. Perhaps it would be interesting to leave both options available, to be chosen in the settings.

***The other big change is in how a PTZ device is associated with an OBS source. ***
Review: This is great! Excelent idea.

Thanks for the review.

The speed slider has been added back in another form. In the settings dialog there is a per-camera setting on the maximum Pan/Tilt, Zoom and Focus speeds. You can use that to limit the maximum speed that a camera will move. I'm still working on improving the UI, but I hope that will be a functional first step.

My most important OBS plugin. Working great with RGBlink PTZ network cams. Unfortunately not compatible with OBS 28 yet. Pre5 crashing OBS. ..M1/M1Pro Mac, Ventura/Monterey.

Please try the -rc3 release and let me know how it works. It should now be properly signed for running on a Mac.

I had to use v0.10.2 to get the PTZ controls to show up. Great product! Do you have any plans to add joystick or controller functionality? That would be awesome, as I like to control my cameras through an XBox controller.

Thanks!

Are you using OBS Studio v27 or v28? Plug-in version v0.10.2 and lower only work with v27. The v0.12.0 versions only work with v28

I'm not sure where the problem lies but I think it is with this plugin. OBS minimizes and you can't open it and when you open OBS again it says the program is already running and asks if you want to launch it again. OBS appears in the minimized tray and then disappears and you can only close it by going into the task manager tray. Otherwise its a great plugin. Wish instructions for connecting an NDI camera clearer.

Thanks for the feedback @pastorb633. I haven't encountered that problem before. Can you file an issue report on the GitHub page, and attach a copy of the OBS log file? https://github.com/glikely/obs-ptz/issues

Really nice and FREE plugin! I was able to control my old two Sony cams with Visca over serial protocol, right inside OBS without needing any external software. There's room to improvements of course, but really nice work indeed.

I'm sorry that you've had problems. Please remember that this plugin is still in development and not everything works yet. MacOS support was only just added in the last release and I didn't get the shared library configuration correct, which is why it would not load for you.

I've just released v0.10.2 which should fix the issue. Please give it a try and let me know how it works:

https://github.com/glikely/obs-ptz/releases/tag/v0.10.2

If you have any problems, please file an issue on GitHub so that I can address it properly and have a way for you to provide more details if needed. The issues link is here:

I am really thrilled and happy about this excellent plugin. I compiled it on Linux and it works like a charm. The only hurdle was to figure out the correct port to be used.
One big wish I have, please could you split the layout vertical instead of horizontal, so that the preset list fills two quarters from top to bottom and the camera list fills only one quarter bottom left?
I believe that most users won't need more than 8 cameras, but 16 presets are very much needed. If the presets fill two quarters on the right, they can be accessed much quicker because there's likely no need to scroll anymore.
Regards Benno

You are a legend for creating this much needed tool. Working great with Visca over IP with Minrray and Jimcomm NDI PTZ Cameras. Really excited to see where this goes!
