Long time user of infowriter but I only just updated it from a 2018 version and now OBS won't open. When I remove the file i downloaded from the plugins file obs opens fine but obviously infowriter is then missing from my sources. Any idea how to fix this?

*EDIT* I downloaded V1.2 because all i was really looking for was extra hotkey options and OBS is now working with that

Can you send me the log and crash report from when this happens? They should be somewhere in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\crashes and C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\obs-studio\logs

hi there!! I am having a little trouble with this and I can't figure out why - the plugin is logging stamps for my scene switches into my chosen txt file, but not logging a stamp when I use the hotkey (though I can see the source activate in the scene when I use the hotkey). I'm sure I'm missing something easy. Any ideas?

Is there a reason why you're still on v21 of OBS? It's not really easy to support multiple versions for various reasons. Otherwise, you'll have to use an older release of the plugin.

oh, I guess I've just forgotten to update OBS in the last, like, two years... thanks, that helped!

Filename formatting options
I'm having problems naming the file for the time stamps. it use to make a new txt file for each recording, now it will only make a file with no variables in the title. also hotkey for a marker isn't working as well

This is a really great plugin that makes my life a lot easier. One addition I'd love to see though is logging for whenever the replay buffer gets saved

LoadLibrary failed for '../../obs-plugins/32bit/ObsInfoPlugin.dll': The specified module could not be found.
21:52:49.241: (126)
21:52:49.241: Module '../../obs-plugins/32bit/ObsInfoPlugin.dll' not loaded

Getting this error. Tried reinstalling, restarting computer, running as administrator, running 32bit and 64 bit versions of OBS, reinstalling VCruntime packages, reinstalled an older version of OBS. nothing worked. Dependency walker says it's missing OBSAPI.dll, but I'm pretty sure if I was missing that OBS wouldn't run. Either way, I reinstalled again and nothing. Thoughts?

OBSAPI.dll isn't a thing, do you maybe mean obs.dll or obs-frontend-api.dll?

Ok,... i'm going nuts trying to figure out why this is not working for me. I have the plugin installed correctly.... it comes up as an insertable object in the scene.. i configure the file output source.. format... message... then i go into setting / hoteys and assign the hotkeys for hotkeys 1 through 3 .... ( if it wasn't installed right i would never see the hotkey assignment section in hotkeys for it )..

I assigned Hotkey 1 to SHIFT+F1 ... Hotkey 2 to SHIFT+F2 .. etc..


I start my scene that has the infowriter obect.. configured.. hit my hotkeys... but the specified file for output is NEVER created.. and even if i point it to an exiting blank text file to use as output .. it NEVER puts the info into the text file.... Im really at a loss.

Hi, just to verify, did you actually start a stream or recording? Otherwise it won't work.

Thanks for making this,

Maybe im doing something wrong but i cant get it to make a mark, it just marks the start and stop of the recording, i made hotkeys but they dont seem to do anything?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you :)

A huge thank you for creating this wonderful plugin. The only thing it's missing in my opinion is Premiere Pro CSV Marker or EDL support. Otherwise it's amazing!

Hello, first, a big thank you for this plug-in and all the effort.

NOTE: I started writing this as an issue, but meanwhile, I found the solution. I opted to post this anyway to serve as a kind of report and help anyone with the same issue.

You MUST give a name to Hotkey 1 in the Infowriter source. If you do not (and by default, it is empty), Davinci Resolve will only detect your first cut or no cut at all.


1) Right-click on media and select "add clips based on EDL to media pool" results in a single clip with the entire recording (i.e. no cuts). I am not sure if this is meant to work, but only a single clip is created, no matter what.

2) Right-click on media and select "Split and add to media pool" will work correctly IF you gave a name to Hotkey1. Otherwise, only your first cut is created. As mentioned in the release notes, you will be missing the last second of your recording (actually, in my case, it was the last 20 frames @30fps)

3) Importing the media first and then doing File>Import>Pre-conformed EDL will work PERFECTLY (if you gave a name to Hotkey1). In this case, you will NOT lose the last second. The timeline created includes all the frames; you will just see an extra edit just before the end of the recording.

Again thanks to the devs that created this fabulous plug-in.

Cheers,
Vena
