that is

Unfortunately the main thing I use the plugin for is my keyboard, which is nonstandard.
I have switched to using the package version of OBS though, so hopefully I can get the plugin working right after I figure out this websocket nonsense so my hotkeys actually function correctly...

Stumbled upon the 5.1.0 version and 5.0.5/5.0.6 where the Logitech G502 mouse was given an overlay (even if mine is a lightspeed I can make it work). I found the updated version for G7 and G8 buttons as mentioned and these are bound to numbers 1 and 2 on the keyboard in my experience.
And there was mention that this was only really made for a five button mouse? It's not hard to make the buttons light up otherwise in any other fashion, but there's a few buttons that Logitech has them bound to which makes it hard to detach from.
G7 and G8 and initially DPI up and down buttons and I've been trying to figure out a way to get these to reflect the button presses set on the mouse as there is no code attached to these buttons.
Is there a way that I can open up and accesses these buttons to work? I considered adding a few more definitions in the uiohook.h file for the extra mouse buttons, but haven't been stuck in this problem long enough.
I am considering on making the DPI shift button show up where the unlock wheel button is for ease if I can figure out how the buttons are set.

I was able to get hotkeys working via the websocket feature and KDE Plasma's Shortcuts system, bridged by obs-cli.
However, I was unable to get the input overlay plugin to do any more than display a static image, because it simply has no Wayland support at this time.
I might've been willing to put up with this loss and wait for the necessary backend rewrite but I've run into other issues and gripes with Bazzite that have pushed me back into the search for a suitable distro. I'm going to see if I can get one that still supports X11 but also doesn't cause OBS to drop a third of its frames whenever a game is GPU-intensive. Wish me luck.

i think its to do with Linux itself not the plugins or obs, due to hotkeys and plugin issues ive came across i fix half of 75% of my issues but with the overlay stuff it dosnt even work with NohBoard overlay app its a shame
the big problem is having linux with Wayland ive seen so many topics online about this and their been a fix but since the current updates still dosnt work now again, also seen topics that talk about the OBS team needs to update the Linux version to get hotkeys and overlays to work correctly too
Ive also run Bazzite and i dont have any issues of dropping fps in games or obs too, ill share a screenshot of stats on obs after doing a stream if ya like

Bad news, everyone. X11/Wayland is THE determining factor in performance and process prioritization.
Looks like I'm going to have to go without my input displays for the first time in several years, until Wayland support can be implemented. Unless maybe there's some way to get xkb inputs to the plugin via XWayland while still capturing video? If anyone knows if that's possible, please let me know.

its not all bad news about it the plugin need to be updated , most of my plugins are now working since they been updated to 31 + apart from this this plugin Nohad overlay app and a some others wont run due to not beening updated with the lastest obs
for side note if they done a flatpak or .appimage of the program or plugin to install them it will work, just mentioning this due to Deckboard wasnt working for hotkeys now they done a Linux version most of the hotkkeys work with my setup

hi universallp have you done a flatpak or just a zip for Linux im currently running Nobara with the latest flatpak version of obs
i have been completely unable to get this working on fedora linux (42 kde plasma edition). i tried following a guide for manually installing obs plugins, but i'm stumped at actually figuring out where the obs's install directory even is. i don't seem to have a .config folder. i've tried installing both through the console (sudo dnf install obs-studio) as well as flatpacks through discover. input-overlay claims to have a flatpack implementation compatitible with my obs installation, but on the 32.0 flatpack version, it just throws up errors of "input-overlay was not installed correctly..." and on the 31.1.1 version i got from fedora, it doesnt have an option to add input-overlay sources. if anyone has gotten this plugin to work on fedora, please hit me up

I tried searching this thread, but didn't find what i was looking to get help on.
The input overlay works great! I can set up the image, and the file that selects the keys. The problem i have is it NEVER saves my settings. So every time i load OBS, i have to set it up again for whatever game i'm running.
I have searched the registry, and the %appdata$ folder looking for settings, but can't find them anywhere. It has a list somewhere, cause every time i load OBS it goes to a list of old games. I Desperately want to be able to update settings, but can't. help!

hello, first of all thanks for this amazing plugin its working pretty well but i have one issue
on the io cct website i have a key set to "ö" on my german keyboard and it shows me pressing it perfectly fine but the second i input the json into obs it doesnt register me pressing that key inside the obs capture.
the keycode assigned to it seems to be for semicolon ";" which would be on that key if i would use the english layout which i dont.
does anyone have fixes?

Hey flox0, I also encountered a similar problem as you, but my problem is that the keycode for the right arrow key is too large and cannot be recognized and pressed properly in OBS. Please refer to post # 972 for details. My later solution was to use the key mapping of the VGN keyboard peripheral to map another key that could be recognized in OBS (my uncommon "\") onto the right arrow key. This way, under normal circumstances, when I press the right arrow key, I actually input "\". After that, setting the key at this position in io-cct was not a problem and it also worked normally in OBS. But I'm only using it for gaming, so I changed the button that used to use the right arrow key in the game to "\".Hope this provides you ideas!

I've tried using both version 5.0.6 Stable and 5.1.0 and I keep having the same issue. The plugin works just fine (at first), I'm using the wasd minimal preset and have added showing mouse button clicks as well using the io tool. But even on administrator mode and with this being the only installed plugin, after 6-8 minutes the keyboard portion of the overlay will freeze on whatever input was given at that time. The mouse portion still works perfectly fine. Not frozen, still picking up inputs. It's only the keyboard part that dies. If everything would crash after a certain time, I'd somewhat get that. But why on earth is half the plugin crashing after that time, while the rest keeps working? The only thing that fixes it is fully restarting OBS. But it's 100% reproduceable. After 6-8 minutes in GTA Online I get the exact same issue.
