OBS redux

As far as I'm aware, Hauppauge makes no Mac drivers, the drivers for those are only available for purchase from Kernel Labs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Either way, without drivers there's no way for OBS to support something. We do not make drivers for random capture devices, we can only use what's actually available.

StealthBalde98 - No no, we're updating the mac/linux versions very soon (probably today as of this writing), but the windows version still wont' be available for quite some time.

The original OBS however for windows is still being updated as well though.

By "next release" I just meant the upcoming version 0.5.0. A later version of OBS Multiplatform will have Hauppauge support on Windows.

No, dodgepong just said that the next release will not include Hauppauge support.

I was referring to this quote below on the other thread, i chose my words well:

Yes, it is a complete rewrite of OBS. More info here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-redux.7736/

Well guess i assumed and got overexcited, seems i have a better chance of purchasing a Elgato and not waiting for this update because for all I know it could be another 6-12 months before it happens. While i understand it's a difficult thing to do and takes a long time as well, due to other projects and life situations, i was just trying to find a better way to record my stuff without the using the Total Media Extreme 2 application and Audacity before rendering in vegas. It's more work to try to sync my mic audio with my game audiovisual on vegas then render. And xsplit sadly asks for $60 a year to be able to use a feature i want to use without a watermark.
Well still you guys are working hard and doing your best i'm just stuck in a rough spot for what I want to do(make things easier that is), keep up the good work though. :)

I meant that OBS Multiplatform itself will support Hauppauge devices. I did not say it would support them immediately.

The text plugin works quite well now. Just a shame we can't get it to scroll yet but it will come ^^
Window capture works without flaws, even in fullscreen.

On the other hand, is it possible to add a "Capture Mouse" option for the Window capture (just like in Display capture)?

Definitely need the ability to show the cursor on window capture. I'll see what can be done.

Yes, Julia and it works fullscreen too. You just need to go into windowed mode to select the game window first. Then you can go fullscreen and keep it that way. Right now it just doesn't show the cursor.

I have tested it now, can finally include splits in my streams, yay!

Everything seems to work great! I installed WavTap to get the game sound from the Elgato.
I got some complains about the sound, nothing huge, but apparently some double effect was present,
that could be heard as a delay/repeat of sound from things that happened earlier in the stream, strange.
So will do some trouble shooting on that.

But yeah, very excited to finally be able to feature splits and to not get those grey VOD preview screen on Twitch
anymore. Thanks again for your awesome work!!

If you're watching your own stream while you stream, and capturing your desktop audio, then you will record your stream's audio and send it back out again. You need to mute your stream if you're going to watch it.

Just signed up because of this thread. Can't wait to see support for the HDPVR2 in the near future hopefully. Would be fantastic to not have to use HDPVR capture combined with various workarounds.

So, for some reason, with wavtap, it will only play my desktop audio on my stream when wavtap is selected in my sound settings as my output. When I do that, I can't hear any of my computer's audio, with or without headphones.
It used to work for me. How can I fix this?

Open your launchpad and open the 'Other' folder. In there you will find Audio MIDI Setup. Open that app and click the little + at the bottom left. Then click create Multi-Output Device. This will create a new driver. Right click on it and select "Use This Device For Sound Output". Then make sure that WavTap (or sound flower if thats what you want to use (however I've found WavTap to be more stable)) and Built In Output are both selected.

Now you will have to go into OBS, and into settings, then audio, and make sure that the desktop audio device is set to WavTap. You will now be able to hear what is happening on your computer plus it will output to OBS.

The only downside is volume control is a bit of a pain. What I do is go into the MIDI and left click on WavTap and turn it all the way up (then control the output to OBS through OBS) and the same with Built in Output. (I have a secondary volume control built into my headphones) But you will have to see what works for you when it comes to your volume levels.

Also, there is a support forum for the mac version.
