OBS redux

Hey, I was able to get everything compiled for linux. I've noticed a few issues. The first is that I'm only allowed to run it as root. Second, in testing as root, it seems that I cannot set too much for my Dazzle DVC100 (forces resolution to be 174x480). If any logs are needed, let me know and I'll post them as soon as possible.

I don't know about the root issue, but could you please install v4l-utils package and pastebin output of the following command:
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
Replace "/dev/video0" with your device.

Here's what is provided for my Dazzle (though for my main computer, there's no drivers as far as I'm aware for the Micomsoft SC500N-1/Startech PEXHDCAP).

Unfortunately stepwise resolution enumeration is not supported yet :(
I'll try to fix that in the nearest future.

Thanks greatly, bazukas. This is slightly off-topic, but do you know if any further V4L devlopment has been done for the Philips SAA7160 and MStar MST3376CMK chips yet in the V4L project? I know these are used heavily by the Micomsoft PCIe cards (and my Startech), while the MStar is in both and is also used in the Elgato Game Capture HD.

Sorry, but I have no idea.

Hm, when I hit Start Streaming OBS goes up to 280% (yes you read right) of CPU and the framerate is super choppy. When idle it's only at 15%. I shut down my browser and other stuff not related to the streaming. It's a 2010 MacBook Pro, here are the basic specs. The CPU is a dual core.

My set up is an HD PVR using the network streaming function of HDPVRCapture to VLC and then use monitor capture in OBS and scale the VLC window. I tried using CamTwist but that's just adding another program to the mix and even though OBS was using less CPU, it produced more framedrops. If anyone knows a better way, please tell me. Thanks.

I have a suggestion, the snap-to-edge should have a toggle option. Because I have trouble scaling exactly how I want it. My video feed has a very slim black bar on top and it keeps either snapping or scales too much. It's the jump from snap to loose that is too big. I'd really appreciate a button, perhaps others would as well.

Edit: Nevermind, I was just reminded that you'll implement a numeric input system, right?

There's already a numeric input system. Go to Edit > Transform > Edit Transform.

And you can ignore snapping by holding Control while moving things around.

Image source stuff is done, mostly just trying to polish things up a bit more for a real release.

StarErik, OSX reports each thread as 100% CPU. Your i7 core is hyperthreaded, which means both of the cores have 2 threads, so you have 400% "total" CPU.

Then I don't really understand why it causes lag if it only uses half of the total amount of power. But I'm probably just misunderstanding.

I created an account just to really thank you guy(s) OBS is amazing and I was really contemplating on buying windows 7 until google brought me here last month.

One of the few problems that I have with the current build is the audio lag when I start streaming. I tried using both the settings and adding output capture options for my audio and I get the same results. My set up is
OS X 10.9.4.
2.5 GHz i5
8Gb Ram
I've tried with both soundflower and wavetap and I get the same results.
Any help or do you need more information?
