I feel these are all bugs...

[Harigh]

Hi... I am Hari from India and I feel these are all bugs in OBS and if so please make it rectify
Thanks.

Green screen video not showing in import window and not showing in preview window after importing. Also not playing if try to hit play button. It plays after hitting stop button first and refresh button ( nearer button of stop button ) next. This happens every import of green screen video.

Exported scenes are asking file path, if try to use the same project to the another system when importing scenes. Even if kept in the same file path. Say desktop.

Imported video files are playing in background even it is disabled the visibility icon in the source window.
So it consumes memory unnecessarily.

Scrolling text needs user friendly instead of custem extend when using long text. If given as like as vmix great.

If provided save project, greatly appreciated.

When opening obs, if asking for new project name to open and open recent project list, it will be much helpful and useful. So that we can open selective project.

Alpha channel video not playing smoothly.

Video captured via video capture card often not showing if obs closed and opened again. We have to delete the video capture source first and needs to create new capture video source to use the same.

Windows 11 it is very difficult to use capture video from cameras via capture card. Especially we have to disable anti virus software first to use video via capture card.

Don't know about the others, but this one is easily fixed. Uninstall the AV software.

Third-party AV *used* to be needed, for Windows XP and earlier, because those systems still had a "whatever you want to do" mindset behind them. They assumed that whatever happened was because the user wanted to, and so they allowed everything...including outside attacks. Hence the need for something else to close those holes and undo what did get in. It was a pretty big deal then: you *had* to have a third-party anti-virus program, or you'd get hacked almost immediately, and so that mindset became ingrained.

Today though, with Windows 10 and later (Vista was trash; 7 was mostly good, but a mixed bag for security; 8 was trash again), the "whatever you want to do" mindset is gone. The system itself, all by itself, protects itself, so that nothing else is needed. Thus, *today's* anti-virus is all placebo, even the big names. They rely on the old ingrained mindset, take your money, get all in your face with scary looking notifications, and make you jump through some hoops to make legitimate things work, but nothing more. Get rid of them.

Keep a modern system up to date, use the tools that it already has on its own, and it provides all the protection you need, all by itself. No third-party anything required.

Do that first, actually, and see what else is fixed too. You might have to reinstall some things that the over-zealous AV blocked unnecessarily. Then you might be able to cross off *several* things from that list.

Standard MS - most every other desktop OS release has been garbage has been an issue since Windows ME (late 90s).
I put Win11 in same category, for now. Win2000 and WinXP had rough starts but got good, with Win2000 limited by applications written for Win9x (DOS) world struggling in WinNT world. time will tell if Win11 will end up being a 'rough start, but eventually got there', vs WinME, Vista and 8 that were all best avoided entirely

Exported scenes are asking file path, if try to use the same project to the another system when importing scenes. Even if kept in the same file path. Say desktop.

sounds like standard good practice (not make assumptions that user is using exact same path)... so I wouldn't call this as a bug
And Desktop is NOT the same path typically across systems (see full NTFS file path)

Imported video files are playing in background even it is disabled the visibility icon in the source window.
So it consumes memory unnecessarily.

If Media Source set to play, then Visibility is different issue, and could have timing considerations. So, yea, I'd expect Visibility to NOT have an impact on whether Media Source playing or not, as those are 2 completely separate states.
so, my 2 cents... not a bug, just a behavior where you want/expect one thing and others prefer the opposite... maybe you could use something like the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin or other automation to create the behavior you prefer

When in "Studio Mode" video clips doesn't automatically play when they are not in the "Program" view.
When not in "Studio Mode" however, this normally happens when the "Restart playback when source becomes active" and the "Loop" from the media source properties settings is disabled after the video has reach the end. So you may have to check whether those settings will help you with what you need.

Go to your sources' folder on your computer, press F4 button from the keyboard and will show you your full path location, you can then compare it from the other computer. A different machine with a different username will give a different path if saved to desktop. I suggest you save your sources' files somewhere in the same drive but not inside the user's desktop or documents folder.. (ex. c:\obs\scene1)

Scrolling text needs user friendly instead of custem extend when using long text. If given as like as vmix great.

On OBS, you can make scrolling text by right-clicking the text source then selecting "Filters" and adding a "scroll" filter. It doesn't matter if the texts are short or long.

Thank you dear brothers for your kind replays to my quarries raised in this forum.
I am using i7 5 gen 32 Gb Ram with 4 Gb nvidia graphics card. I have no streaming difficulties when going live. Because my system configuration is more than enough as far as obs concerned. But I feel some of the options are not user friendly and facings problems when importing and playing and streaming. That's what I raised my quarries here and requested help not only for me, but someone who might have faced these problems in their operations on OBS. Further I should thank OBS developer teams those for their hard work and providing to the user for free of cost. I believe they will make OBS in great extend very soon. Present 30.2 version has rectified lot of bugs fixed.
Thanks for the same.
I once again thank to all my brothers who given me their answers to my quarries.
Thanks to OBS developer teams and kind forum members.
