⚠️ Binaries removed due to GPL license violation! ⚠️

We had to remove binaries and source code due to a contributor submitting code that was not licensed under the GPLv2 "or later" license or any compatible license. While we were able to adjust the source code contained in the repository to exclude these license violations, we can't guarantee that binaries will be available again.

A newer version is available!

Notable Changes and Information

StreamFX v0.9 is safe to use with OBS Studio v26.0!

OBS Studio v26.0 has been extensively tested with StreamFX v0.9, and no notable problems could be found that did not already happen in earlier versions of OBS Studio or the plugin. You can safely upgrade both the plugin and OBS Studio, as long as you also upgrade all other plugins.

Hiding OBS Studio to tray is no longer broken.

OBS Studio incorrectly treats hidden and inactive modal windows as active, causing an invisible window to prevent OBS Studio from minimizing to tray. This has been worked around, and an upstream bug report has been filed.

The Installer is now aware of 64-bit systems.

Due to an oversight in earlier development the installer was built as a 32-bit binary, which meant that it would fail to find OBS Studio installations done with a 64-bit installer. This resulted in some installations ending up in the wrong directory, as the correct path could not be read from the registry. If you previously used the 32-bit installer, please make sure to uninstall first, or you will end up with two installed copies!

Zero-Copy encoding no longer triggers Scaling and Conversion.

Earlier versions of the plugin had a chance to trigger extra CPU and GPU usage while zero-copy encoding was active, drastically reducing the maximum possible performance. This has now been fixed, and the proper fallbacks encoders are being used for settings that can't be performed in zero-copy mode.

FFmpeg Encoder is now able to encode sRGB correctly!

A misunderstanding of what certain values mean in FFmpeg resulted in some encoders incorrectly tagging YUV 4:4:4 (I444 in OBS) as RGB 4:4:4, making video players and editors freak out a little bit. This has now been adjusted, so that sRGB works correctly, allowing crystal clear sRGB footage.

The "hexagonize.effect" Shader now creates actual hexagons!

Thanks to @Toasty27, an oversight when porting the shader from ShaderToy was found that caused hexagons to be created with the wrong size, resulting in malformed hexagons.

Please make sure to read the Installation Guide!

The installation guide covers the required hardware and software to run the plugin, and how to install it through the various options. Please make sure that you have read it in it's entirety before asking for help, as most issues can simply be solved by reading it and actually following all the steps, including installing the necessary prerequisites.
