Multiple RTMP outputs plugin 2020-05-17

Hi,

just wanted to hear about installation, I've copied the files into my "obs-studio" folder, hoping that'd install the plugin.
However whenever I open OBS it won't load, I can't find the plugin (I just updated OBS to 29.1, used to be on an old version where I did manage to make the plugin work).

Are there any steps I'm missing?

thanks
 
Another issue in the new version of OBS 29.1.2 on Linux, my case Ubuntu 23.04
The installer doesnt let you go because you dont have the right version of the software >=29.0.1 (lie)
I tried compiling it by myself and installing it manually.
Finally I was able to make it appear in OBS, and seems to work, but after 3 seconds it disconnected, reconnect again, etc etc...

Looks like the code need a little fix.

Thank for everything Sorayuki.
 
Awesome plugin, if possible please add other more encoder tweaking options for other services, such as FPS and AV1 or a manual way of doing this.
 
I work for a company that utilizes this OBS plugin which enables mutliple stream outputs (Multi custom RTMP). We are looking for a solution where we can keep track of the time elapsed each streaming session, on multiple outputs at once. There is the option to "stop ALL sources" on the plugin, and the option to simply stop a single output. We want the timer to pause ONLY if ALL the sources stop outputting, and keep going if there is a single or multiple outputs stop. I would be looking for some context or answers regarding a plugin or script that enables a similar function, and can keep track of the "stop ALL sources" button being pressed on the UI and pause the timer.
(This would obviously work the other way around as well, only difference is that if you press "Start ALL sources" or a single source , the timer starts automatically and keeps track of the time elapsed online)

I would be willing to put ANY effort into this, script it with ai, etc. I would like to get feedback or possible solution ideas regarding the function.

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know what encoder settings get used for the multiple output part, and if there is any way to change it? For example my main OBS output is P4 Preset, High Quality, Single Pass - is that used in the second stream? The UI only shows the encoder, resolution and bitrate as far as important variables go

One of the beste kept secrets here, because no one is answering it. I also asked, whats going on behind that curtain. Same thing, got ignored.
 
I don't think it's the default encoder settings, or maybe it's broken on some versions of OBS, or maybe the Plugin doesn't like GPU/CPU being used for the different encode instances, because if the Plugin was working with defaults (I'm assuming Very Fast for CPU at least), then it wouldn't have an exponential cost on the second render and in some cases completely lock up the PC.

It's actually more efficient to run 2 OBS instances in Portable Mode (with NDI included) without any fancy scaling/fps integers, etc, than trying to fiddle with this Plugins Encoder settings, because either I'm bad at math, or 10% CPU/GPU per Encode = 100% usage if you use RTMP's own Encode for the second stream, even if the second encode is actually in lower quality.

I've never experienced any issues with this plugin & I've used x264, QSV & NVENC encoders with it. Are you sure you have the correct version of the plugin installed? Kind of tricky these days with all the updates/changes.

J,

I highly doubt you would be able to see much if any difference between using Very Fast/Medium presets. Anyway, do some streaming with the plugin & look at the OBS log for the session, some of the settings used may be in there. I would do it myself but I'm currently using QSV with the plugin & those settings are default.
 
I did a lot of testing in x.264 and h.264 in OBS, x.264 quality started to look very good at medium presets. H.264 in OBS directly was nearly unusable. But with the rtmp plugin, even this is fine.

Theres really some magic happening in the plugin.
 
By the way, the plugin doesnt work with prism live. They added support for obs plugins with the latest version v4.0.0.

But this one doesnt work.
 
Update:

Prism Live released version 4.0.2 and with the new multi rtmp version v0.4.0 (pre-release), the plugin still doesn't work.
I think in general plugins, which are added via filters have better chances to be functional.

I'll add a picture of the error message, which is shown at the program start. Maybe it'll help to make it work. I don't know...

Hi All,

Anybody have issues with OBS 29.1.3 and m1 mac? I downloaded the arm and the universal installer, neither working for me. The installer worked fine, but the plugin not in the OBS, not even in "dock" menu.
