Documentation

Source

This is a plugin that allows you to render websites (with video/animation) as a video source. All the rendering is done in memory so there is no screen scraping or offscreen windows.

If you have any questions, comments or feature requests please let me know!

Example of two browsers being rendering in one scene:
screenshot1.png


If you want to try out the movie example copy these settings and uncheck asset wrapping:
Code: 
asset://local/plugins/BrowserSourcePlugin/movie.html

1000
600

::-webkit-scrollbar { visibility: hidden; }
body { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); }

Here are some examples you can try out:

Animated text read from a file:

Re: Browser source plugin

Would you mind explaining what it does in a bit more detail?
The screenshot is kinda hard to understand.

Would this, as an example, allow me to render a twitch stream on my stream?

Re: Browser source plugin

Yes, it can render anything that could be normally loaded in a web browser.

It is more useful (I think), when used for dynamic overlays.

For example here is the StreamControl plugin made originally for xsplit to control flash overlays:

This worked without any modifications to their program or mine.

It is still a bit buggy when removing browser sources or changing the settings so please be advised :-)

What if give access to other sources parameters (webcam position, etc) in javascript? It will allow to create animations/transitions with participation of all sources.

This looks really powerful, but I have trouble understanding exactly what it does when reading the first post. I start to understand after reading some other posts, would you mind please making this more clear ? :)

Edit : I also having trouble installing this, even if I put it in the 32x > plugins folder for OBS

Can you please be specific about the error that occurs? I'll also try to shore up the documentation a bit :-)

Re: Browser source plugin (1.0-9-g9517672 2013/4/23)

There isn't really an error, I'm not able to install it correctly :s
Downloaded the lasted build on git, then unzipped and put it in plugins folder (32x version of OBS) but I don't see what to do next on the software.

Also : I tried to get the javascript text retriever to work but doesn't work for me ^^

Re: Browser source plugin (1.0-9-g9517672 2013/4/23)

You extracted the javascript text retriever to somewhere in your OBS installation path?

Then you refer to it with asset://local/relative/path/to/file/file.html

So if you install it to plugins/BrowserSourcePlugin/file.html

The path in the source settings would be asset://local/plugins/BrowserSourcePlugin/file.html

You would uncheck the wrap if it is checked.

Did the built-in movie example work? You can try that with the settings mentioned in the first post.

Re: Browser source plugin (1.0-9-g9517672 2013/4/23)

Okay, so I need to put the web files in the BrowserSourcePlugin folder =)

But I can't get anything to work, I don't have the little source editor like you do, and I noticed that the plugin didn't have it's own little .dll file in the plugins file, maybe thats why it won't show up / work with me :s

Re: Browser source plugin (1.0-9-g9517672 2013/4/23)

The zip file contains two items, a dll called BrowserSourcePluginWrapper.dll file and a directory called BrowserSourcePlugin. You need to copy both the dll and the directory (including all subdirectories) to the plugin directory.

I'm also on the IRC channel if you need more help.

Re: Browser source plugin (1.0-9-g9517672 2013/4/23)

Okay, after chatting on the IRC, I discovered I wasn't using the right download links. I was using the source files from github instead of the binaries from catchexception ^^

Everything is perfectly installed now =)

Will be awesome to add not only browser sources, but also scenes for portability and easy configuration.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean. Can you explain in a little bit more detail?

Custom browser scene to replace default markup format of scenes by html and over cool things :)
In short merge whole scene in one html page.

Great plugin! I got StreamControl working, but it seems to be crashing during transitions of scenes.

Start on scene 1 with overlay
switch to scene 2 with different overlay
switch back to scene 1 and crash with no report

Start on scene 1 with overlay
switch to scene 2 with different overlay with crash and this report

I'm assuming using the 0.50b version might be the problem?

Lastly, would it be possible at all to have an 64bit version?

I just fixed the problem with allocation hours ago. I'll post a new version in just a moment.

The 64bit version is possible, but first I have to write a wrapper since the browser I'm embedding (chrome) is a 32bit program only.

I will get a test version of that out as soon as possible.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to get the rendered images to the browser. It's possible to write a PPAPI plugin that somehow pulls the rendered images from OBS, but that would be a significant undertaking.
