Thank you. Successfully installed but when I start OBS, there is no Midi option under Tools.
I verified that OBS-Midi files are in the correct Plugins folder (64bit).
I attached screen shots and here is a portion of the OBS logfile.

I am having the same exact issue to no resolve.

I could post the screen shots... but they would be the same as yours

I have installed everything as per instructions (and verifying with multiple YT videos) Extracted all files to their respective folders. And MIDI does not show up in "tools" and cannot find it.

This is my OBS log if it helps:

Hi,

I am in the middle of building a cool arduino based StreamDeck for use on my streams, and the idea is to use OBS-midi to trigger the events. I seem to be in the same place as others, having no Midioption come up in the tools menu.
I also added all the C++ libraries to my laptop and have not had any success.

Is this a known issue and if so any direction on how to solve this?

I personally hate asking for help but this one has me stumped after hours of trying to work out what the issue is. I am using the 32 bit version of OBS and Win 10.

I am using the latest version and it's working great!
My only problem is the SAVES are not there the next time I run OBS.
All Cleared.
Any suggestions?

yeah - I guess the whole program could do with a Save/Save As... feature. Looking forward to the obs-midi rewrite with Mapping Import/Export - any guess on when?

-From time-to-time, I loose the configuration entirely. It will come up empty. Fortunately, I've learned to create a backup of the basic.ini file before making any changes to the MIDI configuration. I haven't been able to pinpoint when this happens although I suspect it might happen whenever OBS-Studio crashes for other reasons.

Can I ask the name & location of this .ini file to backup. I'm not having any luck finding it.

You got it. That's it. FYI- I've also run into a couple other peculiarities. 1) I'm not sure if it's the midi plug-in or OBS itself....I'm suspecting the plug-in. Anyway, I had a pretty large scene setup in OBS...i.e. over 40 scenes and after approximately 30-35 scenes, OBS isn't reacting to 'set scene' midi commands being sent to it. All scenes up to that point work great. But anything about 30-35 scenes wont work. They can be kicked off manually in OBS but not from midi commands. 2) The OBS Midi Configuration window has some peculiar bugs. I won't list them here but you'll see what I mean when you use it. I understand the plug-in is in the process of being re-written to clean it up but at present there's no timeline.

Thanks for the heads up. At present I am only running about a dozen scenes - some reused for different song performances. It is SO COOL to call each scene on one PC and a VST Host Song (Gig Performer 3) on another PC with one key press on an Alesis wireless Keytar. LOL

Yes...it's really cool to be able to do that. However, the software does need some major cleaning up. Can't trust it enough to simply configure what I need and then unexpectedly lose it all. OBS itself could use some cleaning up and enhancements also. I don't like that there's no way to Save/Save As, Undo, etc. Typical functions you find in pretty much any App. Of course, OBS was probably originally designed with only gamers in mind and functionality over the years has been added in on-the-fly. Documentation could be improved as well...especially with the MIDI interface. Kind of have to figure it out on your own.

Been spending a little time with this and tweaking my midi controllers.
Both my Xtouch Mini and KorkKontrol2 seem to work fine with this once the controllers are on Standard midi and all the buttons are set as Notes rather than Control Changes.

I would love to see some more of the functions working such as moving layers and adjusting filter values etc..
I had a little peek around the source code and looks like there's quite a few functions still to be implemented?

I really wish I was any good at coding to help with development! I hope we see some updates soon, would be awesome to have something even just a little closer to the amount of control vmix has via midi.
