Hi there!
Yesterday I used OBS for streaming on a very old MacBook Pro someone had lent me. It ran so perfectly. I tried a Blackmagic Atem Mini Pro via USB-UVC first, then change of plans, used Avermedia Live Gamer Mini then – just as great. Audio/video sync happened automagically. I just had to tweak my encoder settings and scenes and there I was.
On Kubuntu 18.04 with kxStudio overlays however: I use the Jack audio source. I adjust the audio latency using the clapper board. I restart OBS, and the latency is off by hundreds of milliseconds. In any directions. It is completely useless. Chance of failing is too high.
Actually this is why I bought the Blackmagic Atem Mini Pro, so that I do not need to use OBS any more. The Atem Mini Pro will stream directly to YouTube. However, only at 1080p, and I now have clients in the German countryside. Which equals to the north pole in terms of Internet connectivity: If you don't have satellite internet, you won't get much more than 2mbps upstream. Which brings OBS back into play, since I can really tweak everything. Resolution, encoding, etc.
So, before I waste my money on overpriced hardware and an OS, that - albeit being a Unix system - will soon not allow me to run older applications, since their certificates will run out…
Does anyone have a reliable, reproducible, consistent streaming setup on Linux? Using a single USB-UVC interface for audio and video.
If so, I would kindly ask you to name your Linux distro and version, OBS version, and USB-UVC hardware device you are using.
I haven't managed this in years and the fact that OBS 26.0.2 has broken V4L2 support does not make it better.
Thanks for your attention
