Fantastic mate!! really excited for this. Apart from the capure of windows being in this, can you confirm any new features Jim?

 

[dodgepong]

Text sources, editing advanced x264 settings, and many many bug fixes.

thanks for the reply dodge, I'm not very technical in terms of obs and streaming. what is text sources mean? and what does it give the ability to do?

 

[dodgepong]

It lets you add text to the screen.

 

[badgeroni]

dodge, what just random text? can you elaborate on that? scrolling text? add colours? or just basic text. sorrry for being a pain but very much interested in this

 

[dodgepong]

Any text you want. You can put it wherever you want on the screen. You can add colors and drop shadow, and you can let it pull text from a .txt file.

You can always try it yourself now that it is released: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/releases/tag/0.5.0

software works fine, apart from when i add text the program has an error message and crashes :(

 

[dodgepong]

Can you post the error message and crash report?
