Question / Help OBS Multiplatform and Source video plugin

[Suslik V]

@Tormy you need "file" (OBS Multiplatform and Source video plugin)
and "duration" (at least "1")

New example:

ffconcat version 1.0

file 1280x720_420_601_tv_10sec_10sec.mp4
duration 1
file 640x480_444_709_tv_10sec_10sec.mp4
duration 1

But there is VLC Video Source with build-in playlist functionality, just install VLC Player (64bit for obs64 or 32bit for obs32) and new source will appear for the selection.
"Concat" is not just playlist, is form of playback or concatenation of files with same codecs. It was used as workaround while playlist for 'VLC Video Source' was under development.

I searched into the Plugin directory, but I didn't find it ... I also used google to looking for it, but it sends me back to this post and the one you talked about (I went up there also to search, but no links available)

@Tormy looking for VLC Player? --> http://www.letmegooglethat.com/?q=vlc+player

 

[Tormy]

I have VLC player since years ... stil this concat doesn't work

The vlc source option (NOT media source) has a playlist function.
Why aren't you using it?

 

[Suslik V]

Because @Tormy uses 32bit VLC for years and running 64bit obs right now - and that is why the source not appear in OBS Studio for him. Nothing else...

If you have problems with concatenation in Media Source Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

 

[Harold]

The install 64-bit VLC and the vlc source will show up.

 

[Tormy]

no I use the 64 bit version since the beginning. Still the script doesn’t work :-/

 

[Suslik V]

@Tormy where is the proof?

@Tormy where is the proof?

Is it enough?? Or you still thinking I'm trolling?

VLC

And finally this is my PlayList.txt that doesn't do anything .. I mean when "fired" the screen stays black ... nothing starts ... and I DID follow the indications and instructions on this thread

That screenshot of VLC does not proof that it's the 64bit version of VLC. And it also needs to be installed through the VLC installer, otherwise the necessary registry entries that OBS uses to find VLC will not be created.

Also using concat is not going to work with different formats together.

@Tormy I asked for obs log-file.

Inside "concat" file:

file - is word, operator, it precedes filename;
duration - is second word, operator, it follows the filename string, the value required too.

Operators and values separated with space.
Look carefully at the examples.
What not clear?

Just in case, successful playback of your files should leave error in the log too.

Found the solution following the indications of @Suslik V and @Osiris

I added "file" ... "duration" is not mandatory ... it can be omitted
however it was not working (I discovered that "duration" can be omitted, after I got it working correctly)

THEN I tried replacing all the "\" (I'm using Windows 7) with the "/" (Linux style) into the Path to the file.
And it worked perfectly
