I have a weird issue. I can create a scene, set up a source (static image), add a virtualcam filter to this image, set it to output to OBS-Camera2 and hit start.
In Jitsi, I can then set my camera to OBS-Camera2 and people will see this static image instead. this has been quite useful for when I have been a non-participating recorder for a 'radioshow' that had to use jitsi in these covid-times, so so a banner for the show could be shown instead of a dead camera from me. Neat.
A few days from now, I am going to record an interview with some people, and I thought I could do the same, and send one of my video camera sources directly to a virtual camera, and it does work... but only when I set OBS Studio in Studio mode and have the 'dummy scene' with the camerasource+filter open in the preview pane. If I close studio mode, the video feed either freezes or goes black. (and thinking about it, the static image that I show is probably just a frozen image too, but I just tested with "image slide show" as source and that worked fine as well. so the issue seems to be with video capture devices only).
For situations, were we will only be talking it's probably no big deal, but iI would like to, in the future to maybe be able to switch sources etc to show a stream, as Id like to maybe do more livestream stuff that includes things like jitsi.
Any ideas?
OBS Studio 26.0.2
Virtual Cam 2.0.5 (same issue in 2.0.4)
My video sources are Camlink and 2 generic UVC devices - neither works as I'd like them to.
