Question / Help OBS Studio Replays while Live Streaming

[Nathan Bauer]

Hi All,

I recently switched over to OBS Studio from the original OBS. I've been playing around with the replay buffer feature with the goal of being able to create replays on the fly and play them in my live stream. Ideally, I'd like the feature to not replace the old replays, so that I can save them. However, if there is no work around for that it's fine because I'll still have the record of the full stream.

As of now I have the hotkeys for start and stop the replay buffer as well as save the replay. I used the media source to create a scene, but I can't get it function correctly. Also, can get the replay to save. I can't get that replay added to a scene and play/update with each replay I add. Any good tutorials or advice?

*I have watched a ton of tutorials, but I haven't found anything that does what I'm looking to accomplish. Which, is having the capability of active in game replays while live streaming using the replay buffer and media source without any other plugins.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do here. You want to have a scene with the replay buffer already added and ready to play?

So, I have a scene with the replay buffer added via the media source. However, I can't create a replay using the replay buffer and have that play automatically. Also, I can't add the replay buffer to other scenes via the media source and have it work correctly.

I'm not sure if my layman's terms are explaining this correctly. What I'm looking to accomplish with the replay buffer are replays of the past 30 seconds while live streaming from one scene as I'm playing a game. Sorry if I'm not making sense.
