I have a situation where I need to load around 100+ gifs into an image slideshow from several different folders which are both randomized, based on a fixed time (8000ms, loop as necessary,) and transitioned between. Naturally, I've hit the image limit past like the 10th gif or so (they're all 500kb - 1mb) and have OBS just outright skip those gifs.
I believe my issue is related to:
obsproject.com
(To which I guess one solution would be finding a way to override that behavior, but would introduce said skipping likely)
Anyhow, I'm trying to figure out the best solution. I tried to convert them all to MP4 but the VLC Video source doesn't allow transitions and fixed transition time (i.e. loop the video until 8000ms have passed, then switch to the next random video, regardless of the video length.)
Anyone know anything that could work? I've come up with an idea for a shuffler that moves videos into/out-of the folder but it's very... hack-ey. Editing them together as a video wouldn't work as they must be randomized.
I believe my issue is related to:
Question / Help - For some reason, an Image Slideshow of 40MB of gifs uses over 5GB of RAM
I was so confused, I never had these issues with OBS before. I'll skip the poetry, but I found when adding an image slideshow directory of my 40MB of gifs, OBS immediately makes the jump from 95,316K in task manager to 5,800,000ish. How is this even possible? I need to find an alternative...
