Awful stuck up developer who attacks anyone and everyone. They even go out of their way to say they PREFER people to have trouble with the plugin..

Concerned for their mental health as they seemed OK when the project began, but have spiraled into whatever this is

Literally everything can now be replaced with free alternatives. The author got greedy and made himself irrelevant.

1 feature was not working but dev said it is working on him so there is no problem. i bring him 3 other testers and was giving same error but him not accepted so him just blocked me from patreon after i paid for subscribtion. money is gone and i have no product access...

You were "blocked" due to the repeated refusal to follow instructions. This "blocking" was actually just a refund, since you were unable to use the software as intended.

As you had no longer paid for it, you lost access to the private channels. Then you began to spread some complete bullshit, so i also blocked you.

incredibly disappointing to see this plugin go down like that.

While there are (for me in Germany) 1€ and 5,50€ Patreon options, access to StreamFX is only included starting at the 11€/month tier.
And that's just bad...

Said that non beta version would be free to download.


This software started out free and users took their time to learn and apply a lot of its functions (Myself included), later the dev decided to close the downloads and put it behind a paywall. And he said that only "BETA VERSIONS" are paid, full versions would be free. I called 1 year ago that no FULL version would ever release.

At the time he said that this was just a side side hustle so that was the reason that a full version would be hard to be out anytime soon and that he was getting blasted by help posts everywhere by everyone and doing it for free.

So now, after more than a full year and 1.166 paying subscribers (that pay at least 11€ a month.)

seems like more than 12.000€ per month is not worth enough to dedicate time to just decide to full release a non beta version (even if does not include broken being tested features).

Well, i cant judge, if I just cared about money thats the best tactic out here. Even if the software is good enough to be non beta I would just introduce a new feature that would be new enough just to keep calling the whole package beta and i would not seperate a full package that I would consider non beta..

Lets call if beta forever!

Smart move moneywise. But nonetheless I'm just calling out what is in plain sight.

The Source Code for Alpha/Beta/Candidate versions is provided together with the binaries for those versions. This is mainly to prevent needless bug reports for unfinished versions, sometimes happening within minutes of a public push.

This plugin was wonderful while it was free. Now that it is paywalled, I've had to keep an older build of OBS installed just to use the last free version of the plugin. At least there are alternatives starting to show up. Would like to use this plugin again, but not going to happen unless it goes back to being free.

In a very suspicious turn of events the developer, claiming that a non GPL compatible source code was used by a contributor, removed ALL of the install binaries from assets. There is no installer you can download, no stable and no beta versions. Effectively, with this clever trick, you can ONLY get a build through his expensive recurring Patreon or build it yourself... Nicely done Xaymar.

PLEASE RECONSIDER! Many creators who rely on Patreon make their stable releases available to the public while offering beta versions to supporters. I think this is a compromise you should consider. StreamFX has benefitted hundreds (if not thousands) of streamers (including myself) and could continue to do so if made available for free or at a lower cost.

The funding problem was publicly known since 2020-07-14, and on 2022-09-10 a public forum for it was provided. Several options were discussed, including "Advertisements", "Donationware", "Watermark", "Sell StreamFX to highest bidder" and "Go Non-Free/Paid". Pros and cons were discussed for quite a while, until several things happened in series which eliminated all except the first and last option.

As the first option wasn't very appealing and would have moved StreamFX to another owner entirely, I went with the latter option. This has saved StreamFX from effective death so far, and has allowed me to actually pay rent on time for the first time in almost a decade. I don't see a reason to go back to a time where I couldn't pay rent and had to dumpster dive for food.

I understand the time and effort involved in creating and maintaining a product like this.
BUT the plugin isn't required to stream or even to improve the quality of your stream because there are several other more affordable options available. Therefore it just simply isn't worth the money.

It was fun while it lasted. Farewell StreamFX.
Another will soon take your place.

OBS Studio is open source and free. You can't program this plugin without OBS, but you want to get paid for it... and ignore GPL license... the OBS project doesn't block the plugin yet... I don't understand, they're just good-natured and you just take advantage of something like that. ..

The GPL license does not prevent selling a product.

I relied on the shaders for StreamFX. The person who runs this project is very rude and he's very greedy. OBS isn't to pay your paycheck, this is a GNU-licensed project, and it's OPEN SOURCE, not a CLOSED SOURCE. It's time for the project manager to retire and find another job so he can get the pay he wants and let the community manage the project. There is no money in this, it's not reasonable to pay $11 for each release and for people who can build it to not pay.
