hi! sorry for my English. I've a portable 27.2.4 version installed -with all the plugins I need- for the situations I need to use virtual cam. I have always had an installed version (testing) and a portable version (production) Everything works fine in 27.2.4 for my needs.

I've been testing alternatives, and maybe the problem IS NOT DSK, but the Virtual Cam module or subsystem in OBS version 28.
I've been working OK with OBS NDI plugin + NDI tools WebCam module (the NDI source, not the virtual cam -no need to enable it) so you can choose NDI webcam source in your Zoom or Meet or Skype or whatever your meeting program with OBS 28 and DSK; all work ok! Great great plugin for live meeting!!!
 
This solution, posted earlier, is better imo (less resource usage)

Thank you! and far easier than NDI...
 
@Exeldro, Do you have any suggestions or fixes to get this working on Mac with a users folder on an external drive?

My disk setup:

OBS is installed on my Internal SSD: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/OBS.app
My users folder is on my external hard drive: /Volumes/Mac 5TB/Users/raddykewl

Running OBS 28.0.3 and the DSK plugin 0.2.5. As others have noted, the overlays show fine in the program window when the keyer is activated, but the overlays do not appear in the output from the virtual camera. As of now (October 10), what is the best fix or workaround to solve this problem?

Windows 10, Dell, i5

FYI: Issue DSK not showing in Virtual Camera is still present in OBS Studio 28.1.1
Also there are already issues in the bugtracker on Github:

Did you have any luck getting this plugin installed and working on OSX?

I'm not even using a non default user folder and am having trouble finding the plugin post installation on M1.

Surprising how little info is out there re: plugin install on mac

I haven't really had time to mess with it. I'm hoping an OBS and/or a macOS update will fix the issue. Several of my plugins stopped working when switching from OBS Intel to OBS ARM. This plugin didn't work with either architecture on my setup.
 
Having some issues install on a MAC. The installer runs, but nothing seems to have been installer (there is nothing in the docks re: downstream-keyer). I have OBS 27.2.4 (64bit) on a MBP running Monterey 12.5.1
 
Yet another plugin I found useful, and low and behold it carries the Exceldro moniker yet again! Excellent programming, use of resources and API use! @Exeldro Is there any way to have the DSK scene transition out before an excluded scene is transitioned in or is it possible to add the option as a checkbox, as well as prevent the DSK scene from activating in the excluded scene?

Exeldro, this is a fantastic tool and I would like to know if you have any plans to have a Downstream Keyer version for Android?
 
SO i just upgraded to OBS v28. i use the virtual Camera. it looks like the downstream keyer is showing on the program window but not going to the live feed. any thoughts?
 
I prefer having a single scene with ALL of my DSK elements and their respective hotkeys or Streamdeck buttons WITH the added bonus of being able to compose and position them on the same scene screen so you know what's where or if somethings obscuring something else that might get used at the same time. You still have to add this scene to other scenes you may plan to use it in though. But at least this way you're not crowding your scene panel AND adding another (DSK) panel to the OBS interface.

If this plug-in could just show me what's in my style of DSK scene in a separate panel allowing me to preview/position DSKs without triggering the scene or having to use Studio mode to preview it--to me that would be the best of both worlds.
 
Great plugin. Really enjoy using it. I am having a problem that the DSK is not working on the Virtual Camera output.

Using 0.2.5 on OBS 28.1.2 on Mac.
 
@sadbuttrue that is a known bug in OBS there is a word around:
make a scene with multiple output sources, 1 on channel 0 and channel 7 and up for the downstream keyers.
in the virtual camera config set that created scene as output.
