PTZ Controls

PTZ Controls 0.19.1

I made a test release today that works with 32.2.1. Please give it a spin.

As this is a pre release, test thoroughly before using in a production environment.
off-hand... no errors at launch, no errors when moving the camera to presets, PTZ movement and both auto and manual-focus works... I'll keep testing. (i'd love to be able to tag tracking on something specific, like my dog or what i'm working on, but that's a different ask)
 
I'll try deleting and re installing as I believe I am on 32.1.2 The latest as I just rebuilt this machine due to longevity and multi use ! Thx

Hi - I would like to have my PELCO-D camera and VISCA (UART) camera on the same serial RS485 bus, let's call it COM1. Does PTZ-Controls separately try to open COM1 for PELCO-D and VISCA, or will it open COM1 once and send either instruction depending on which camera? The reason I ask is if I change the baud rate on the settings on the PELCO COM1 it doesn't show the same on the VISCA COM1.
It will try to open it twice. The code is not designed to share PELCO and VISCA on the same serial bus
 
I need some help those of you controlling cameras via serial port. QSerialPort has been a source of pain on OBS upgrades for this whole project. So much so that I've decided to replace it. I've created a test release that uses a different serial port library. You can find it at the link below. Can you please test and report back if the new backend is working for you?

**Note: This is a test release** Lots may be broken aside from the serial port driver. Do not use in production

 
The plugint dont load using OBS 32.2.2 and PTZ 0.19 version. The log show this error:
11:48:31.274: Module 'C:\ProgramData\obs-studio/plugins/obs-ptz/bin/64bit/obs-ptz.dll' not loaded.
To solve i use the pre release: https://github.com/glikely/obs-ptz/releases/tag/v0.20.0-test-serial
Are you using the correct binary? If you installed the one named …-for-obs-31.1.1-… then it won’t work with 32.2.2. You need one of the following:

 
Hi glikely et al.!

This plugin has been crucial for automating workflows at my church, such that sidesmen can trigger camera angle changes from their phone app without a dedicated stream operator.

However, one thing I have noticed is that this plugin occasionally causes OBS to crash when changing Scene Collections. Not a big deal most of the time, but some streams during Lent we switch from, e.g., the Stations of the Cross scene collection to our standard scene collection within the same stream. A few times this has caused OBS to crash and the stream to be lost -- I work at another church on Sunday and it's not guaranteed a sidesperson will notice the crash, nor know to race to the streaming desktop and reset OBS.

Crash reports point to obs-ptz.dll, specifically the ptz_action_source_fe_callback action, being the culprit consistently. cf., https://obsproject.com/logs/crashes/V9SGTRwmo7YyHwrC

Has this behaviour happened to anyone else? Is there a known workaround?

On OBS 32.2.2 with the 0.19.1 release -- but this behaviour has been consistent across versions.
 
glikely updated PTZ Controls with a new update entry:

PTZ Controls 0.19.1

I think I've finally solved the OBS Studio compatibility issues. With this release the plugin is no longer tightly bound to the version of Qt used in OBS Studio, so upgrades should no longer break the plugin. Other than that, this is just a minor point release with some bug fixes around serial port handling. Go forth and test.
