OBS Virtual Camera index

[Bezr]

Hello,

I've been working with OBS virutal camera, and it's fine when I know the virtual camera index, however this isn't very predictable in different machines, is there any meta data I can look for when testing all my camera index?

I've been relying on stack position but this also isn't very predictable.

Don't know what operating system you're on, but I solved it on Linux by copy/pasting the line that starts the loopback, from OBS's source code to my own script, and then setting that script to run as root on startup. Add a number that is well out of the way of the automatic ones, and it's always at that index and works and doesn't rearrange the physical captures anymore.
