Hi,

i want to run second Instance of OBS MP 0.10.1

Tried with "obs64.exe -portable -multi", but it still takes standard configuration from appdata/roaming


Can anyone tell me the correct command line to start different config folder ?

You can do what I do and put both captures in one scene (as you are not limited to just one) and then send the stream to an nginx rtmp server that can send to more than one stream. Or you can use restream.io to do the same.

I may try to allow portable mode by 0.11.0 to make it so that separate instances will have different settings.

I just grabbed 0.12 now that there is (experimental) support for hardware encoding and was looking to see if the -multi switch was still needed to run additional instances, but if I'm reading this correctly that is no longer necessary with the portable version?

Basically have been using this method with OBS1 to stream while saving a high-quality local recording: https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...-stream-and-record-at-different-qualities.74/ and hoping this still works with OBS MP, at least until MP can record and stream at different bitrates on it's own.

Edit: Welllll holy crap, I started digging into the advanced settings and it looks like you already can stream at a low bitrate, while recording at a high bitrate, even using different encoders like x264 for streaming and NVENC for recording. That is a nice surprise, indeed!

Recording and streaming at different bitrates has been a feature for quite some time in OBS MP (don't ask me from what version). The hardware encoders are new with 0.12 and a feature I was looking forward to a lot.
