atkAudio Plugin 0.16.1

[atkAudio]

Curious, ever considered making a "portable" installation of the plugin? I frequently test experimental OBS Studio installs in a "portable" mode, which requires me to unpack the binaries into the "installation" directory with a file that indicates to OBS Studio in that directory to use a configuration tree sourced from the "portable" install's base directory. This allows me to keep from interfering with my installed production copy of OBS Studio.

If worst comes to worse, at least I know how to get at the files using 7-Zip or other unzip utility.

Thanks!

Maybe some day. Indeed I just use 7zip to extract the dll (or so|dylib) files out of installers/archives and copy them manually into portable install plugin directory.

I tried that, but it seems, it does not work (for me). It doesn't show up at all.
Do I do something wrong?

If you're using normal OBS install, you just use the plugin installer, you're good to go. If you're on portable OBS install, then you extract the dll from the installer exe file, and copy it into your portable OBS install plugins directory.

Like @atkAudio said, if you are running a normal install of OBS Studio (in my context, this is what I stream day to day), simply run the installer as is, follow the prompts and you're golden.

What I was specifically talking about is the concept of a "portable" install. This allows you to run OBS Studio without installing it, whether over an existing installation or at all. It keeps the OBS Studio configurations in the same directory as the OBS Studio installation itself. I use these to test either forthcoming betas of OBS Studio or to test experimental setups, like trying to figure out atkAudio's seup without fouling my existing setup should I need to go live in short order.

I can also use this to make an "installation" of OBS Studio on a portable drive (e.g. external hard disk or SSD or a thumb drive) that I can take to any computer and run it on there without actually having to install OBS Studio.

Admittedly, this is a little bit outside the scope of the plugin, but I was asking whether there were files I could use without having to bust open the installer file, but eh, I'll deal.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Found another small issue... When testing the last 2 releases, I noticed when done and I removed the i/O filter from the source, it defaults to none for output.

For my setup, windows mixer has obs in system channel, so when you play video through obs, its "audio meter" runs in the system channel.

So when removing the filter, it should default back to its "default output" rather to none. I can still hear the audio, but it effectively comes from nowhere, and cannot mute it or adjust it with my Beacn external device, and no idea how to restore it.
