dev47 updated DroidCam OBS Camera with a new update entry:

2.4.0

  • Added arm64 builds for Windows, to go along with OBS 31.1.
    • Note: USB support is limited due to lack of drivers for many devices.
  • Custom Resolutions:
    • You can now input custom values into the 'Resolution' field of your DroidCam OBS source. This lets you take better advantage of the options your device supports.
    • Requires the latest update for the DroidCam app (v8.x)
    • Use the 'Camera Information' / 'Camera Probe' option in the DroidCam app...

I had seen on another thread something about using the DroidCam API to directly change some camera settings. My application requires different camera zoom level in different scenes. Rather than transform the camera feed for each scene, I'm using Advanced Scene Switcher to send the commands to one phone to zoom in or out (at 3 levels right now), depending on the scene. It seems to be working well, but I fiddled for a long time to find the correct approach with Advanced Scene Switcher. I'm writing to save someone else a lot to time.
The simplest approach seemed to be to use the HTML action to send a "PUT" to the camera (e.g. phoneIP:4747/v3/camera/zoom/3.0). However, I could not get this to work. The PUT request never gets to the phone, at least not in the right way.

Instead, I use the RUN action to run /usr/bin/curl (on MacOS) with 3 parameters (it doesn't work if they are given as a single parameter):
-X
RUN

I have no need right now, but this approach would work with any of the other api commands (I'm listing them here because I could not find them anywhere except in the remote web page javascript file):
/v3/camera/zoom/
/v3/camera/ev/
/v3/camera/wb/
/v3/camera/mf/
/v1/camera/autofocus_mode/
/v1/camera/wb_mode/
/v1/camera/torch_toggle
/v1/camera/el_toggle
/v1/camera/wbl_toggle
/v1/camera/active/

The values that go with each request can be seen in the remote if you run http://cameraIP:4747/

DroidCam continues to work very well for us with four donated (and ancient--5,6,7) iPhones. This little bit of automation is the icing on the cake!

I have a client using macos sequoia with OBS, and we'd like to add droidcam to the mix (attempting to find alternatives to manycam). Unfortunately it appear this statement in the plugin page is incorrect:

You can connect multiple devices at the same time, using WiFi or USB*.

The asterisk refers to "the website" but there is noting about getting USB working with macOS sequoia, and quite a bit of experimentation with different android phones and two different macs w/ OBS are leading me to believe that only the client on Linux and Windows will support a USB connection.

Any guidance appreciated!

Hi, I have used DroidCam HD (Classic) for some time with NVIDIA Broadcast, but since the app was so buggy I moved to DroidCam, but now I am facing 2 issues:
1st I cannot use the cam without running OBS as virtual cam, the DroidCam Client alone didn't work for me.
2nd the cam driver is not supported with NVIDIA Broadcast as its is doesn't appear under cam list.

@2ool , this is not a known issue, you are saying the DroidCam Video device does not appear in NVIDIA Broadcast?
This forum is specifically for the DroidCam OBS plugin, so you would need to contact support@dev47apps.com

FWIW, OBS Studio supports NVIDIA Broadcast effects natively, do you have the option to just add nvidia broadcast filters?

Yes, if you see attached screenshot from cam list in telegram, there are OBS virtual cam and DroidCam sources, but only DroidCam Source 2 is appearing NVIDIA Broadcast

OBS update has removed the support for Droidcam plugin. How we use it as a camera now? Using the droidcam classis for meetings until dev47 comes up with a fix and saves the day.

Yes I did. I am feeling there might be some issue with the residual files or something, gonna do a full clean reinstall of OBS and droid cam.

You would need to attach (or send in) your OBS logs for Help with this. The update for OBS v32 has been available over 3 weeks now, and there are no known issues with it. A clean reinstall of just droidcam should be sufficient (using Programs & Features in Windows).
